Unable to update mandatory physical property

Cristina_Dulau

Hello,

I have a problem when I try to update a mandatory physical property value using method updateNode().

The code that I use:

Node node=fDocMan.getNode(307274);

AttributeGroup attrGroup = new AttributeGroup();

attrGroup.setKey("POCreateInfo");
attrGroup.setType("POCreateInfo");

StringValue homeLocation = new StringValue();

homeLocation.setKey("poLocation");
homeLocation.getValues().add("/homeLocation");

StringValue physProp=new StringValue();

physProp.setKey("mtField_attr");

physProp.getValues().add("value");

attrGroup.getValues().add(homeLocation);

attrGroup.getValues().add(physProp);

Metadata physicalObjectMetadata = new Metadata();

physicalObjectMetadata.getAttributeGroups().clear();
physicalObjectMetadata.getAttributeGroups().add(attrGroup);

node.setMetadata(physicalObjectMetadata);

fDocMan.updateNode(node);

The exception is:

javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: Field 'attr' is required
at com.sun.xml.ws.fault.SOAP11Fault.getProtocolException(SOAP11Fault.java:189)
at com.sun.xml.ws.fault.SOAPFaultBuilder.createException(SOAPFaultBuilder.java:122)

at com.sun.xml.ws.client.sei.SEIStub.invoke(SEIStub.java:118)
at com.sun.proxy.$Proxy35.updateNode(Unknown Source)

Does anyone has an idea why this thing happen?

My initial thoughts, is that you have some required additional node attribute that you must pass in as part of the node metadata.

If you create this object in the WebUI, are there any redirects/callbacks that assign or require you to assign, additional attribute information?

If so, you may need to also set this info.

Edit: Oh, I just noticed that you were using setNodeMetadata and then UpdateNode.

If you're just changing attr information on the node, you just need to do setNodeMetadata, no need to UpdateNode.

However, if you need change the node, and it has required attribute information...I think you may need to add a version to it, and in that step, attach the metadata object.

Thanks.

Hello,

This exception is thrown just when i try to update a date attribute for a physical item.

If all you want to do is update metadata on the node, you just need to perform a setNodeMetadata(long nodeid, metadata metadataObject).

You shouldn't need to do UpdateNode unless you're changing something on the node object, like that name, or something.

I had some PO metadata code sitting around, so here is what I had done, before:

...

cws.AttributeGroup[] theAttributeGroups = new cws.AttributeGroup[1];
cws.AttributeGroup theAttributeGroup = new cws.AttributeGroup();

theAttributeGroup.Key = "POCreateInfo";
theAttributeGroup.Type = "POCreateInfo";

cws.IntegerValue intValue = new cws.IntegerValue();
intValue.Key = "selectedMedia";
intValue.Values = new long?[] { poType };

cws.StringValue strValue = new cws.StringValue();
strValue.Key = "poLocation";
strValue.Values = new string[] { "An existing Code value from the Location Table" };

theAttributeGroup.Values = new cws.DataValue[] { intValue, strValue };
theAttributeGroups[0] = theAttributeGroup;

poNode.Metadata = new cws.Metadata();
poNode.Metadata.AttributeGroups = theAttributeGroups;

I was creating the node, but you should be able to just setnodemetadata with the metadata object, and the PO id.
