WC 10.1 Retrieving values from a multi-valued IBA?

[sdrzewiczewski]

I'm trying to grab the value from some IBAs using the newcom.ptc.core.lwc.server.LWCNormalizedObjectclass.

For values that are single valued, i'm having no problems, but when i have mult-valued IBAs I'm stuck. The get method says it's supported, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to access them. It sounds like an array of Objects will be returned.

If anybody has used this class for retrieving a multi-valued IBA and would share the code snippet, I would appreciate it.

get

public Object get(Stringattribute)
           throws WTException

 <dd>

Supported API: true 
Returns the value(s) of the attribute  with the given name from the object. If the attribute is multi-valued, an  Object[] will be returned. Throws an exception if the attribute has not been  previously loaded into the object.</dd>

Steve,

Here's a snippet that works and may get what you need:

LWCNormalizedObject lno = new LWCNormalizedObject(pdpPart, null, null, null);
lno.load(designFunc);
Object designFuncValue = lno.get(designFunc);

if (designFuncValue instanceof Object[]) {
logger.debug(CLASSNAME + ".getSupplementalRoles(): instanceof Object[]");
Object[] designFuncValues = (Object[])designFuncValue;
for (int i = 0; i < designFuncValues.length; i++) {
if (((String)designFuncValues[i]).equals(mech)) {
roles.add(Role.toRole(mechRole));
} else if (((String)designFuncValues[i]).equals(elec)) {
roles.add(Role.toRole(elecRole));
} else if (((String)designFuncValues[i]).equals(opt)) {
roles.add(Role.toRole(optRole));
} else if (((String)designFuncValues[i]).equals(sw)) {
roles.add(Role.toRole(swRole));
}
}
} else {
logger.debug(CLASSNAME + ".getSupplementalRoles(): not instanceof Object[]");
if (((String)designFuncValue).equals(mech)) {
roles.add(Role.toRole(mechRole));
} else if (((String)designFuncValue).equals(elec)) {
roles.add(Role.toRole(elecRole));
} else if (((String)designFuncValue).equals(opt)) {
roles.add(Role.toRole(optRole));
} else if (((String)designFuncValue).equals(sw)) {
roles.add(Role.toRole(swRole));
}
}

Thanks,

Thanks that was just what I needed! I wasn't casting the object to an array of objects correctly.
