Update user through MemberService returns ok, but user is not updated.

Øystein Amundsen

I need to create a method to update user data through a custom layer java REST-api.

    @PUT

    @Path("/{userId}")

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")

    @EnforceOTAuthHeader

    @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)

    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON + "; charset=UTF-8")

    public Response updateUser(@HeaderParam("otsoapticket") String token, NewUser newUser) {

        try {

            MemberService service = ServiceHelper.getMemberService(token);

            Member member = service.getMemberById(newUser.getId());

            if (member instanceof com.opentext.livelink.service.memberservice.User) {

                com.opentext.livelink.service.memberservice.User user = (com.opentext.livelink.service.memberservice.User) member;

                user.setFirstName(newUser.getFirstName());

                user.setLastName(newUser.getLastName());

                user.setEmail(newUser.getEmail());

                user.setMiddleName(newUser.getMiddleName());

                user.setPhone(newUser.getPhone());

                user.setDeleted(false);

                user.setName(newUser.getName());

                user.setTitle(newUser.getTitle());

 

                // Set new password if given

                if (newUser.getPassword() != null) {

                    service.updatePassword(newUser.getId(), newUser.getPassword(), user.getPassword());

                }

 

                // Update user

                Member updatedMember = service.updateMember(user);

                return Response.ok(gson.toJson(updatedMember)).build();

            }

            return Response.status(Response.Status.BAD_REQUEST).type(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN).entity("User could not be updated").build();

        } catch (L2SException e) {

            return Response.serverError().type(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN).entity(e.getMessage()).build();

        }

    }

 

This method returns ok, but a simple search through the database reveals that the users data has not been updated at all. What am I missing?

I assume you've stepped through it with the debugger and have observed that it runs the UpdateMember function?  I ran a similar test modeled on your own (on C#) and the user was updated successfully.
