Problem in reading custom collection in Master Agreement.

[ritikbaral]

Hi All,

I have created a Custom Collection for Approvers and added the same under the Master Agreement. After adding the values to the ‘ApproverCollection’ in Master Agreement, when I am trying to read this Custom Collection . It’s saying the collection is empty, it returning null.

Following is the code:

ExtensionCollectionIfc approverCollection = doc.getExtensionCollection("ApproverCollection");

log.setLogMessage("Approvers: " + approverCollection + "---");

Logger.error(log);

I tried in a different way, but I got the same result ‘null’.

typeHome = IBeanHomeLocator.lookup(session, doc.getDocTypeReference());

typeBean = typeHome.find(doc.getDocTypeReference());

ExtensionCollectionIfc custColl = typeBean.getExtensionCollection("ApproverCollection");

log.setLogMessage("Cust Coll Approvers: " + custColl + "---");

Logger.error(log);

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ritik

Hi Devesh,

Thanks for your input .

I was accessing the Custom Collection which is there in Master Agreement in wrong way:

ExtensionCollectionIfc approverCollection = doc.getExtensionCollection("ApproverCollection");

log.setLogMessage("Approvers: " + approverCollection + "---");

Logger.error(log);

It should be like the following:

AgrBean = doc.getParentIBean();

CustColl = AgrBean.getExtensionCollection("CUTSOM_COLLECTION_ON_MA");

Now i am facing some issue while deleting/adding the entries in Custom Collection.

For some reason its neither deleting the entries from the collection nor adding the entries to the collection.

Following is my code:

extColl = AgrBean.getExtensionCollection("COLLECTION");

AgrBeanHome = AgrBean.getIBeanHomeIfc();

AgrBeanHome.upgradeToEdit(AgrBean);

// for Delete

	for (iter = extColl.size(); iter > 0; iter--)
	{

        member = extColl.get(iter-1);

        log.setLogMessage("User Name: " + member.get("USERNAME"));

        Logger.error(log);

        extColl.delete(member);

      }

//For adding entries:

newMember = extColl.create();

newMember.set("USERNAME","1234");

I checked whether the agreement is in edit mode or not by using the following method:

AgrBean.isObjectAccessModeEdit();

This method returned 'true', which means the Agreement object is in edit mode.I do not know, where i am doing wrong.

Looking forward for your help on it.

Thanks,

Your code for add seems to be missing the code to add the new member back to the collection.

newMember = extColl.create();

newMember.set("USERNAME","1234");

extColl.add(newMember)

Hi Manali,

My bad, yes i just checked the 'add' part was missing , but the delete code is fine rite, I am wondering why thats not working .

The other thing is, i am facing the same issue while updating the custom extension field in my master agreement.

I am upgrading the MA to edit mode. Setting a value for the Custom Extension field. But unable to see the value , when i am going to the Custom extension field in MA.

Thanks a lot for all your help. Appreciate it.

Thanks,

Hi Ritik,

I am not sure of the way you are trying to write the collection into the log.

log.setLogMessage("Approvers: " + approverCollection + "---");
Logger.error(log);

I think the error that you are getting maybe because you are directly accessing the collection variable (object) and the system is trying to convert it into a string representation (since you are concatenating it with strings).

I think a better way to determine whether the collection is empty should be to use the collnName.size(). You can try this and let us know if you are still facing errors.

Thanks
