findParty (PartyServices.java)

[Milind W-2]

hi,
I think someone who understands the findParty method is probably the best
person to answer this.
I have a screen and form as detailed below.
I am trying to get the data from the person entity for the logged in user
and display it in a form.
Am I missing some parameters? or something else?
I am trying to debug this looking at the existing screens and forms but if
someone who understands this method can help, I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Exactly what I am doing (using the debugger).
But it would be nice if the "real findParty author could please stand up"

one last note:
findparty works so you have what it takes.
so you copy it over and add you code, step by step
when it stops working you know where to look in your code.

Can't copy all the code in my app due to all the dependencies.
But I think I have pretty much all the fields
                <set field="headerItem" value="Main"/>
                                <set field="roleTypeId" value="CONTACT"/>
                <set field="partyTypeId" value="PERSON"/>
                <set field="headerItem" value="Contacts"/>
                                <set field="partyId" value="${userLogin.partyId}"/>
                                <set field="lookupFlag" value="Y"/>
                                <set field="extInfo" value="N"/>
                                <set field="roleTypeId" value="ANY"/>
                                <set field="noConditionFind" value="Y"/>
                                <set field="titleProperty" value="PageTitleFindParty" />
                                <set field="headerItem" value="find" />
                                <set field="tabButtonItem" value="findparty" />
BJ you and Jacques seem to answer most questions :)
Would be nice to add to the list and not subtract :)

[BJ Freeman]

then you might use the compare between the findparty and yours to see
what might be different.
I am willing, on the mailing list to
1) investigate what is in the svn.
2) give pointers to someone doing custom code.
what I am not willing to do
is trouble shoot someones code, unless I am hired.
So I have been doing #2.

you don't have a grasp yet. believe I know how frustrating that is.
here are the three rules I learn by
1) read everything till I understand ever word. this says you have 50%
of a discipline down.
2) when you think you know enought change something and predict the outcome.
3) if the outcome is not what you predicted go to #1, you missed something.

maybe someone else is willing to support you custom code.
I feel I have given you a way to accomplish trouble shooting this and
other problems you may have.

it is better to teach someone how to fish that to supply the fish for them.

[Milind W-2]

Thanks BJ,
Understand your sentiment and pointer and yes it is frustrating :)
I was down the path you suggested (comparing stuff that works and my
custom code) before I posted here.

This bring me back to my original question if someone can see something
that is obviously and/or specifically missing (based on the data I
provided and/or the error message) I would like to hear, otherwise I am
debugging away to glory :)

Hello milind ,
I suggest you to follow the step suggested by the BJ and try to print each
the value of each one that you want on form like "partyList" to confirm that
whether something is there or not and see other component also where this
method "findParty" is used . I think then probably you get the answer. If
after that you have error's so post them here may be someone help you.

Thanks
Ravi

Hi. I think your problem is that youre not passing the partyId value or its
value is null. First, entity-one needs you to provide all primary keys for
it to return something (hence the error: [GenericDelegator.
findByPrimaryKey] Passed primary key is not a valid primary key:...) Second,
youre not passing the partyId because this userLogin is null. At least from
the snippet that you provided, userLogin is not defined anywhere. If youre
intention was to retrieve the userLogin value of the currently logged in
account, then you should retrieve the partyId this way:
<set field="partyId" value="${*parameters.*userLogin.partyId}"/>
Hope this helps.

userLogin is automatically put in the screen's context in the same way
that the parameters map automatically get builts out of the request
parameters and attrributes, session parameters etc.

Found my problem.

It was my form, I was using 'display-entity' instead of 'display' for the
field.

e.g
<field name="firstName"><display-entity entity-name="Person"/></field>
Changed it to
<field name="firstName"><display entity-name="Person"/></field>
and now the form works fine I can retrieve the data for the logged in user
from the person entity.

oh. sorry my version must have been very far from the recent release. in
that case, the partyId field (from the line <set field="partyId"
value="${userLogin.partyId}"/>) isnt visible from <entity-one>. I believe
entity-one uses the fields in the parameters map by default? And setting the
userLogin.partyId to partyId field isnt the same as setting it to
parameters.partyId. (sorry im used to an end of May build. I wanted to help
but Im not that familiar with the changes)

It's been that way for a few years at least, you can see what is made
available in ScreenRenderer.populateContextForRequest() and in turn
populateBasicContext().

Regarding entity-one the code looks for the primary keys in the
parameters map first and then looks in the context itself, if anything
is found in the context then that overrides what was found in the
parameters map.

Scott
