External calls dont work after upgrade

Before the upgrade from 6.7.2 to 7.2.1 we used the following external java code

import org.w3c.dom.Document;

public class DcrLijst extends BaseExternal {
public Document execute(String method, com.interwoven.livesite.common.util.Hashtable params) throws ExternalException {
....
....

But they don't work anymore Smiley Sad

.

Even the helloWorld example does not work when I use the

import org.w3c.dom.Document;

So did they change the Document import from

import org.w3c.dom.Document;

import org.dom4j.Document;

?

And do I need to do this for all the external java call?

I am getting the following error -->

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: No such method: public org.dom4j.Document helloWorld(com.interwoven.livesite.runtime.RequestContext,) found on object of type: biz.panoptic.livesite.dcr.HelloWorld

Not sure what your BaseExternal does, but your component looks like it's configured with:
class=biz.panoptic.livesite.dcr.HelloWorld
method=helloWorld

which means that you should have a method signature in that class that looks like
public org.dom4j.Document helloWorld(RequestContext context);

(yes, it's DOM4J and not W3C).

I have many java classes in my livesite_customer_src directory.
Does this mean that I need to change all the references/imports from W3C to DOM4J in all those classes?

And when I change the import, I need to change the content of the java classes too because the methods that import org.w3c.dom.Document; had deos not exist in import org.dom4j.Document; ??

Thanks again

Pretty much.. If you have a decent IDE, you should be able to search+replace across all files.

As an interim solution, you might consider a utility method like this:
[HTML]
public org.dom4j.Document convertDocument(org.w3c.Document doc) {
return new DOMReader().read(doc);
}
[/HTML]
That solution is going to have some performance drawbacks though, so for a production solution, you'll want to convert your logic to dom4j I'm afraid.
