How to get the custom table data in the form processor

Question

Version: Windchill 12.0

Use Case: we have build a custom wizard which contains the MVC table builder . Data for this table is provided via custom Bean object with getters and setters for each column . Now i want to get all the table data rendered in each rows in my formprocessor doOperation method .

Description:

we tried to get the table data using the below api , always i am getting null as return value .

commandBean.getInitialItemsByName("ext.plm.builders.PLMCustomTableBuilder")

Steps to reproduce this issue :
1.Create the custom wizard with table builder like below

public Object buildComponentData(ComponentConfig compConfig, ComponentParams compParams) throws Exception {

NmCommandBean nmCommandBean = ((JcaComponentParams) compParams).getHelperBean().getNmCommandBean();

return new PLMDemoTableBean(nmCommandBean);

}

@Override

public ComponentConfig buildComponentConfig(ComponentParams componentParams) throws WTException {

ComponentConfigFactory factory = this.getComponentConfigFactory();

TableConfig tableConfig = factory.newTableConfig();

tableConfig.setLabel("Demo Table");

tableConfig.setId("ext.plm.builders.PLMCustomTableBuilder");

tableConfig.setTypes(PLMDemoTableBean.class.getName());

ColumnConfig numberColumnConfig = factory.newColumnConfig("partNumber", true);
numberColumnConfig.setSortable(true);
numberColumnConfig.setLabel("Number");
tableConfig.addComponent((ComponentConfig)numberColumnConfig);

ColumnConfig versionColumnConfig = factory.newColumnConfig("customAttr", true);
versionColumnConfig.setSortable(true);
versionColumnConfig.setLabel("Data1");
tableConfig.addComponent((ComponentConfig)versionColumnConfig);
return tableConfig;
}

2. I have defined the getters and setters for both partNumber and customAttr PLMDemoTableBean class.
3.Create a formprocessor for the custom wizard action and get the table data (ie PLMDemoTableBean object) in the doOperation method using the api

commandBean.getInitialItemsByName("ext.plm.builders.PLMCustomTableBuilder")

Hi @MS_9630520

Usually you have to use the right method to build a table in a wizard with internal ID then you could try to use List<NmOid> tableInfo = (ArrayList) nmCommandBean.getItemsToRender("tableID"); to get information from the table.

aslo all information from the wizard is stored in several array lists

HashMap textArea = nmCommandBean.getTextArea();
HashMap checked = nmCommandBean.getChecked();
HashMap unChecked = nmCommandBean.getUnChecked();
HashMap radio = nmCommandBean.getRadio();
HashMap text = nmCommandBean.getText();
HashMap comboBox = nmCommandBean.getComboBox();

each element in the list contains ID of the specific row from the table and name of the parameter.
