Calling Generator class.

Hi,

I want some values to come from Database to my drop-down using 'Generator'. For that, i used my custom made class & tried to put it in Datum & tried to save the component. But showing the follwing error.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Component preview failed.

Could not load component data XML into XMLDOM.

Datum ID=[category]
Must have least one option

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

But if i used the following code that is given in PDF & put it in component it is working fine.

<Data>
<Datum ID="category" Name="moreOptions" Type="SelectSingle">
<Generator Object="com.interwoven.livesite.external.runtime.Debugging" Method="getDebugOptions"/>
<Option Selected="true">
<Display>Plan</Display>
<Value>012345</Value>
</Option>
</Datum>
</Data>. If i tried to put my custom class path & method, it is showing component update failed.

Any suggestion will b helpful.

Your class is probably throwing a ClassNotFound or similar. Check your server logs.

Hi Manish,

Just checking if you run the build after you push the code. Also, dumb the return content in the log file and verify if it's structure is proper or not.

Attach the content_center.log, server.log and code for more analysis.

Hi Nipper, Ashish,

Yes the components are getting saved. But now the problem arises are, the java class i have written for returning document is not getting displayed in component-preview. M attaching the below java class.

Thanks.

Hi,

I guess the way you are testing the Generator is incorrect, Just In the Component preview you wouldn't get the Options / Drop down .

1) Click on the Preview of the Compoent in Edit mode.

2) Select set default content -> only this can bring the results which you are looking for.

Thanks
