Adding and Setting New Custom Properties in KM

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am creating and setting the custom properties using KM APIs

Here is a code for that

IResource resource= ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(aRid, rContext);

IPropertyName propertyName = (IPropertyName)new PropertyName(NAMESPACE, "Test");

IProperty propertyValued = (IProperty)resource.getProperty(propertyName);

if (propertyValued == null) {

propertyValued = new Property(propertyName,"testing123");

resource.setProperty(propertyValued);

}

But I am getting a null pointer exception.

Can anybody suggest?

Thanks

Hi Raj

I tried this for a custom property(named Department).

// getting and setting the properties of a KM Document(Property Name:Department)

IPropertyName propName = (IPropertyName) new PropertyName("http://sapportals.com/xmlns/cm", "Department");

IProperty prop = aResource.getProperty(propName);

IMutableProperty mutableProp = prop.getMutable();

mutableProp.setStringValue("Finance");

aResource.setProperty(mutableProp);

This code works for the properties that are not readonly.

hello raj,

instead of using IProperty propertyValued = (IProperty)resource.getProperty(propertyName);

,try using

IMutableProperty propertyValued = (IMutableProperty)resource.getProperty(propertyName);

IMutableProperty is just an extension of IProperty and as such doesn't explain any NPE.

Please let us know some details on the NPE first, things like the stack trace and the reason.
