java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Attribute name 'DateStart' not defined

Former Member — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 03:35:14 GMT

When I tried to do this:

wdContext.currentCheck_Material_PriceElement().setDateStart("2009-04-27");

It gives the error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Attribute name 'DateStart' not defined

What could be the error?

Hi Jackson,

Please check in the Check_Material_Price node that whether the DateStart attribute is present or not. I guess that is not present.

However if that is present then is this node a model imported node. If this is a model imported node then it might be the case that there is some chnages in the model. You need to check in the backend RFC that whether this attribute actually exist in backend or not.

Finally, Just restart your server and redeploy the application, and then try to run the application again. I have a feeling that if all the above mentioned things are correct then your application is not getting deployed properly.

You can just try to undeploy your application and then redeploy of that once again.

I hope this solves your issue. Please revert back in case there is still some problem.

Thanks and Regards

Pravesh

Yep DateStart attribute exists.

My j2ee webservices could work, backend could work too when i enter value for dateStart, but from the UI itself when I tried to set the value for UI, it gives me the error?

Help

Hi jackson,

Hve you tried to undeploy and then redeploy the application. This is one last thing I have mentioned in my reply above. Try this, may be this can help.

Thanks and Regards,

Jackson,

check the type of 'DateStart'?

if it is of type Date, then you cannot pass a string in the argument as "2009-04-27".

you need to pass a 'Date' Parameter!

try to do the following:

java.sql.Date startDate = new java.sql.Date(2009-04-27); 
wdContext.currentCheck_Material_PriceElement().setDateStart(startDate);

Yep it is a string.. that's why I pass in a string.. but I wonder why it says parameter undefined?! -_-

Yes I tried redeployed all the services, and the application too.. it still gives the error which I have no idea why..

Can't set that.. cos startDate is a string..

Hi Jackson,

Try to change the cardinality of the node Check_Material_PriceElement to 1..1 or 1..n.

Cheers,

Arafat

I am not able to change it.. is it because it is fixed by the model?

Re: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Attribute name 'DateStart' not defined

Former Member — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 05:25:06 GMT

But I am able to change the node 1 level above it though.

Hi Jackson,

Looks like problem is with the webservice. May be webservice is not having the 'DateStart' attribute now.

Try downloading the latest wsdl file and check whether 'DateStart' attribute is available or not.

Thanks & Regards,

Jaya.

No, I tried using Web Services Navigator.. it can work ( return values)

Re: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Attribute name 'DateStart' not defined

Former Member — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 06:35:37 GMT

Hi Jackson,

'DateStart', is it a input parameter or output parameter?

Which model you are using?

VJR.

Re: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Attribute name 'DateStart' not defined

Former Member — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 06:44:05 GMT

It is an input parameter.

I am using Webservice Model.

Re: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Attribute name 'DateStart' not defined

Former Member — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 06:50:16 GMT

I checked the model "Check_Unit_Price", indeed the variable is found!

/* ***************************************************************************

ModelAttribute -> DateStart

**************************************************************************/

/** getter for ModelAttribute -> DateStart

@return value of ModelAttribute DateStart */

public java.lang.String getDateStart() {

return (java.lang.String)super.getAttributeValue("DateStart");

}

/** setter for ModelAttribute -> DateStart

@param value new value for ModelAttribute DateStart */

public void setDateStart(java.lang.String value) {

super.setAttributeValue("DateStart", value);

}

Hi,

Are you sure that the webservice in webservice navigator is taking 'DateStart' also as input parameter? Check once again with the latest wsdl.

If every thing is fine there then try deleting and recreating the webservice model again with the latest wsdl.

Regards,

VJR.

Yes I am sure, just that the first letter is not capitalised.

Ok I will try to reimport the model again..

ARGH this is driving me crazy.. ;(

Re: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Attribute name 'DateStart' not defined

Former Member — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 08:05:22 GMT

SIGH..

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Attribute name 'DateStart' not defined for model class 'Check_Material_Price'

I reimported the whole model again.. the webservice is surely working.. but in the application, it just can't find DateStart even though I could use the setter setDateStart ? This is strange..
