Problem with adding item with ReadXML function

[jaccomoolenaar]

I am trying to send all item modifications (add and updates) in one company to several other companies. I use XML in other to achieve this. Now I have encounterd a problem with the ReadXML function. The code I use is (java):

<code>

try

{

IItems sourceItem = null;

try

{

sourceItem = SBOCOMUtil.newItems(oCmp);

}

catch (SBOCOMException e)

{

System.out.println("Exception while creating new items Object");

}

if (sourceItem.getByKey("1010101"))

{

System.out.println("Item found");

String path = sourceItem.getItemCode() + xmlFileOrderFileType;

oCmp.setXmlExportType(SBOCOMConstants.BoXmlExportTypes_xet_ExportImportMode);

sourceItem.saveXML(path);

ICompany comp2 = connectToSbo("sboontw2","SBODemo_Dutch2","manager","manager");

if (comp2 != null)

{

comp2.setXmlExportType(SBOCOMConstants.BoXmlExportTypes_xet_ExportImportMode);

IItems targetItem = null;

try

{

targetItem = SBOCOMUtil.newItems(comp2);

}

catch (SBOCOMException e)

{

System.out.println("Exception while creating new items Object2");

}

targetItem.getByKey(values);

targetItem.getBrowser().readXml(path,new Integer(0));

System.out.println("Itemcode: " + targetItem.getItemCode());

}

}

}

catch (Exception e)

{

System.out.println("Error in class" + this.getClass().getName());

e.printStackTrace();

}

</code>

The error I get is:

Error in classConnector.SAPBOConnectorThread

com.sap.smb.sbo.wrapper.com.ComFailException: A COM exception has been encountered:

If I try this when the source company and the target company are the same everything works, but if they are different the error occurs. Note that the target company is a copy of the source company and that data errors should not occur!

Does anyone have an idea of what the problem is?

I just found out that it has something to do with the user defined fields.... If I leave the UDF's out of the xml it seems to work well. The UDF's in both companies are the same. Isn't it possible to exchange the values of the UDF's through xml??
