Hi Rama,

This is a pretty odd case, looking through the definition.

The member for "values", does exist in the class, and although it's protected, you may be able to extend the class in order to set the values on your own.

It just doesn't seem to have a SetValues method for MultiLineAttribute in 16.0 and 16.2, as far as I can see. Very strange.

It extends Attribute, which also does not have this defined.

Perhaps the setValues is actually referring to the fValues array, instead? Anyhow, it's a little bit misleading.

However, I'll defer to the experience of the CWS experts who frequent these forums. Maybe there's a reason, for this?

Thanks,

Nizar

Hi Rama,

You’ll want to use getValues() and then update the backing store that’s returned directly.

Hi Nizar,

Can you please help me with a code snippet. SetAttribute is already inheriting Attributes, So which class we can use to extend and redefine methods?

Thanks

Hi chris,

I absolutely have no idea what you are talking about. I am trying to use CWS API straightforward and use setValue.can you please elaborate on what you said with code snippet or pseudo code.

Thanks,

Madhurya

Hi Madhurya/Rama,

You may want to read up on inheritance in Java: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/IandI/subclasses.html

You will probably need to do something like this:

public class MLAExtend extends MultiLineAttribute {
public void setValues(List<String> values) {
this.values = values;
}
}

Hi Rama/Madhurya,

There is sample code for this kind of thing, along with the documentation, at http://otdn.opentext.com , following the Content Web Services link.

Please check below code snippet If I can do like this for setting Values

if (subSetAttdata instanceof StringAttribute) {

StringAttribute subStrAttr = (StringAttribute) subSetAttdata;

if (subStrAttr.getDisplayName().equalsIgnoreCase("DAT_CUT_LINE_ITEM_WAIV_RM_INIT")) {

subStrAttr.getValues().add(0,"StringValue");

}
}
