How to replace suppress method from java to groovy?

[Timo-Nguyen]

Hi all,

I'm looking for any helps, tips or advices for my current problem:

I have a function that is written in Java and I'm trying to replace this with GroovyScript. I have some trouble of handle the SUPPRESS from the ResultList class in Groovy.

Is there another way to implement a suppres in Groovy?

There is a good example by 7a519509aed84a2c9e6f627841825b5a in Groovy Script to remove Suppress and Null in SAP Cloud Platform but I couldn't figure it out how to realise this.

Here is my coding:

JAVA CODE:

	public void foo(String[] cv, ResultList r, Container c) {

		if (cv != null && cv.length > 0) {
			for (int y = 0; y < cv.length; y++) {
				String s = cv[i];
				if (s != null && s.trim().length() > 0
                                && !ResultList.SUPPRESS.equalsIgnoreCase(s)) {
					r.addValue("");
				} else {
					r.addSuppress();
				}
			}
		} else {
			r.addSuppress();
		}
	}

GROOVY CODE:

import com.sap.it.api.mapping.*

def void foo(String[] cv, ResultList r, Container c, Output output, MappingContext context) {

	if (cv != null && cv.length > 0) {
			for (int y = 0; y < cv.length; y++) {
				def s = cv[i];
				if (s != null && s.trim().length() > 0
                                && !ResultList.SUPPRESS.equalsIgnoreCase(s)) {
					output.addValue("");
				} else {
					output.addSuppress();
				}
			}
		} else {
			output.addSuppress();
		}
	}

Many thanks in advance for your help

Regards

Timo

Hi Timo

Everything you require is in the Output interface. Specifically, you need the isSuppress method.

I believe the following code implements your logic in Groovy:

import com.sap.it.api.mapping.*

def void handleSuppress(String[] values, Output output, MappingContext context) {
    if (values.length > 0) {
        values.each { s ->
          if (s != null && s.trim().length() > 0 && !output.isSuppress(s)) {
              output.addValue("")
          } else {
              output.addSuppress()
          }
        }
    } else {
        output.addSuppress()
    }
}

Now, whether that logic actually solves your real problem, I cannot possibly say 🙂 But since you asked specifically about converting to Groovy, that's what I did.
