JLink: Modelitem.SetName() exception

[bfrandsen]

Hi all

I am trying to add names to points imported from a STEP file. When I use the ModelItem.SetName(String) method I get an exception when the supplied String is set from a function, that returns a String.

SetName("NEWNAME"); //works ok.

String name ="NEW NAME";
SetName(name); //works OK

String name = method();//Method returns type String.
Setname(name); //throws an InvalidName exception

Any ideas to get around this?

TIA.

Hi all
Thank you for your input.
It was an illegal character in the String returned by the method and a
minor programming bug on my side.
I used these String methods
replaceAll("[']",");
replaceAll("[.]","_");
But in error I used the orginal String value each time, so the ' was
"reinserted" by the last replaceAll.
I ended up with the String "NEW_NAME" and had a hard time to discover
the extra ' in the NetBeans debugger.

Now everything is working as expected and my users got a brand new
application for christmas.

Bjarne
