setting properties null exception

[monisha3107]

I am having problems using set properties for a particular document using the OpenKM web service.

So when I do webservice.setPropeties(path, groupname, PropertiesMap)

I get the exception "object reference not set to an instance of an object" although the PropertiesMap (an OKMFormElementBean[] object) is not null.

Really appreciate any help I can get. Kinda stuck on this from weeks.

Thanks

You're using c# no ? can you paste here some code ( sample ) to see what and how are you trying ?

[monisha3107]

Yes c#. Pasted below.

Code: Select all

OKMWebservice ws = OKMWebServiceFactory.getInstance(host, username, password, OKMWebServiceFactory.PROFESSIONAL_6_4_9);
String uuid = ws.getNodeUuid(defaultdirectory + filename);
String path = ws.getNodePath(uuid);
String grpname = refname;
Dictionary<String,String> metadata = new Dictionary<String,String>();
OKMFormElementBean[] propertiesMap = ws.getProperties(path, grpname);
String[] lines = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines( "metadata.txt");
foreach (String line in lines)
 {
       string[] parts = line.Split(',');
       metadata.Add(parts[0],parts[parts.Length-1]);
 }
 for(int i =0; i < propertiesMap.Length; i++)
 {
         String type =  propertiesMap[i].getType();
         switch (type)
                           {
                               case "text":
                                   propertiesMap[i].setValue(metadata[propertiesMap[i].getName()]);
                                   break;
                               case "multiple":
                                   OKMOptionBean[] option = propertiesMap[i].getOptions();
                                   String[] multiple = metadata[propertiesMap[i].getName()].Split(' ');
                                   for (int j = 0; j < multiple.Length; j++)
                                   {
                                       if (values.ContainsKey(multiple[j]))
                                       {
                                           option[j].setLabel(multiple[j]);
                                           option[j].setValue(values[multiple[j]]);
                                       }

                                   }
                                   propertiesMap[i].setOptions(option);
                                   break;
                           }
                        }
 ws.addGroup(path, grpname);
 ws.setProperties(path, grpname, propertiesMap); --------------------------> here's where I get the exception
                    }

What openkm version are you using ? 6.4.X trial version, professional version or community version ?
I suggest use setPropertiesSimple

Code: Select all

void setPropertiesSimple(String nodePath, String grpName, Dictionary<String, String> propertiesMap);
void setPropertiesSimple(String token, String nodePath, String grpName, Dictionary<String, String> propertiesMap);

You'll get less problems with it

I am using OpenKM 6.4 professional

I did use setPropertiesSimple and it works only for "TEXT" field. If I have a control of type "Select" (listbox or combobox - where i can select multiple or single values) , it doesn't work with setPropertiesSimple.

Do you know how I can handle that?

If you are OpenKM customer you must do this kind of questions from OpenKM customer website. I've send you a private message.

In case multiple, you must pass values separated by ";". I revised the source code and I think could be a bug when you're doing the call from soap and rest services. Seems was wrong in soap and when we had done with rest we propagated the bug also. Anyway contact us as a customer in our support customer website.
