Relations not retrievable using API

The following API call is not returning any relations though they are there in the content. What would be the reason for this?

AttributeData[] allAttrs = ((ContentInstance) productAttribSet).getAttributes();

productAttribSet.toXML() would return only a portion of the whole content:

<PRODUCT-ATTRIBUTE-SET><VignVCMId>0e59bd8358980310VgnVCM1000001340090aRCRD</VignVCMId><VignStatus>approved</VignStatus><VignLogicalPath>/www-content/product-content/_cross-product/_shared/attribute-set-category-subcategory</VignLogicalPath><VignName>enterprise-category--capacity-attrib-set</VignName><GUID>cd59bd8358980310VgnVCM1000001340090a____</GUID><INTERNAL_NAME>enterprise-category--capacity-attrib-set</INTERNAL_NAME></PRODUCT-ATTRIBUTE-SET>

But the complete XML from the preview tab of the content instance is as below:

<PRODUCT-ATTRIBUTE-SET>

Hi Shashi,

Try below code

String[] relNames = contentInstanceObj.getRelationNames();

AttributedObject[] attObjArray = contentInstanceObj.getRelations(relNames[0]);

Sreenivas.

You should use getRelations(String relationName)

Hello,

We had a similar requirement some time back. Here is the code snippet, which we used to retrieve the relations;

for (int i = 0; i < ci.getRelationNames().length; i++) {

String currentRelationName = ci.getRelationNames()[i];

logger.info(currentRelationName);

if (currentRelationName

.equals("VCMSYS---DCX-ANNOUNCEMENTS-LOCALE")) {

AttributedObject[] currentArray = ci

.getRelations(currentRelationName);

if (currentArray != null) {

for (int j = 0; j < currentArray.length; j++) {

AttributedObject currentAttributedObject = currentArray[j];

logger.info(currentAttributedObject);

// AttributeData currentData =

// currentAttributedObject.getAttribute("DCX-ANNOUNCEMENTS-LOCALE-BODY");

// currentData.setValue(filterHTMLContent(currentData.toString(),

// "about:blank","about: blank","about:"));

AttributeData[] at = currentAttributedObject

.getAttributes();

for (int k = 0; k < at.length; k++) {

String attributeName = at[k].getName();

System.out.println(attributeName);

if (attributeName

.equalsIgnoreCase("DCX-ANNOUNCEMENTS-LOCALE-BODY")) {

Object localeBodyValue = at[k]

.getValue();

// String localeBodyValue = (String)

// at[k].getValue();

if (localeBodyValue instanceof String) {

logger.info(localeBodyValue);

String filteredBodyValue = objUtils

.filterHTMLContent(

localeBodyValue

.toString(),

FIRST_TAG,

SECOND_TAG,

THIRD_TAG);

at[k]

.setValue(filteredBodyValue);

logger

.info("Content filtered!");

}

Thank you for your response guys. Sorry I gave a wrong line from the code. Here's the code which doesn't work:

AttributedObject featuresRelator[] = ((ContentInstance) productAttribSet).getRelations("V8ADMIN-SEA-ATTR2PRODUCT-ATTR-SET");
out.print("<br/>attrib set relator: " + featuresRelator);

output:

attrib set relator: null

Even the line below doesn't yield any relation names:

String[] strRelationNames = ((ContentInstance) productAttribSet).getRelationNames();
out.print("<br/>Relation names length: " + strRelationNames.length);
Hashtable ht = ((ContentInstance) productAttribSet).getAllRelations();
out.print("<br/>Relations in the attrib set: " + ht);

output:

Relation names length: 0

Relations in the attrib set: {}

I'm giving the correct relation name as evident from the XML that I showed you previously. This is specifically not working for this content instance, wonder why. Is there a glitch in retrieving the relations using the API at times, any ideas? Since the toXML() call is also not showing the relations, I can only work this out by creating a bean using BeanFactory and then get the xml from the bean and parse it, which is an ugly approach (which actually works in my code right now). Appreciate any ideas here..

It sounds like you’ve fetched the CI using topRelationOnly=true.You need to fully load the CI in order to get sub-relation data. If youcontinue to have problems then post the code you’re using to fetch the CI.

Thanks a lot David. I was just going to reply to this thread when I saw your response!! I figured out that our custom library is retrieving only top level relations. I've to add an overloaded method in my library now.

Thanks for all the help guys...
