Remove a value from a multivalue field

Igor Zottich

Hi All,

I'm using a Java webservice to manage some category attributes of a document.

Actually I have a multivalue field with 5 values in it, what I would like to do is to remove one of these values so to have 4 values as my result.

When I try to update the category attribute actually the system goes in timeout so I must be missing something, does anyone have a snippet or could point me out to the steps I should doo to achieve such a result?

 

thanks in advance,

Igor

Hi Igor,

If you have a  5 element array like this

List<String> values = ((StringValue) dataValue).getValues();

when you want to make them 4

you need to call

 values.clear();  

 values.add(0, "1");

 values.add(0, "2");

 values.add(0, "3");

 values.add(0, "4");

the values.clear is apparently important  or so I think...so if you need the original values save them somehow.

i ran it on a 10.5 system I had and it worked.If the index is specified wrong I got a soap error but it did not hang my LLServer so my guess is the structure .

if you need to see the full example let me know 

I shared a word document showing before and after pictures I took the gettingstarted.java as I don't really do much WS nowadays.

Well, if I called the wrongnumber, why did you answer the phone?
