Script component set get / ProcessDataValue

[#1]

Inside the script cmponent how can I set and get the process data

which is either Object or custom Object?



I found some info at on these methods

patExecContext.setProcessDataValue(aPath, aVal)(aPath, aVal)patExecContext.getProcessDataValue(aPath)

at http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402587

but it is not working as mentioned but getting error (see below) any clue why?



Thanks

Yog

What variable type are you trying to set?



For example if you want to set a string you can use setProcessDataStringValue(path,value) although setProcessDataValue() should work.

It is the custom veriable type. ( A custom component exports this custom data type note: I can see this variable type while creating new variable so it is visible to LCWB)

// I able to overcome InvalidCoercionException error it was classpath problem but still not able to get it work getting null pointer



// ok here is simple test script TestExport is just plain POJO



import TestExport;

TestExport testExport = new TestExport();

System.out.println(" TESTING NOW 1");

testExport.setName("YYYYYYY");

System.out.println(" TESTING NOW 2");

testExport.setId("IDDDDD");

System.out.println(" TESTING NOW 3");

patExecContext.setProcessDataValue("/process_data/testExport", testExport);



System.out.println(" TESTING NOW 4");



TestExport testExport2 = (TestExport) patExecContext.getProcessDataValue("/process_data/@testExport");



testExport = (TestExport) patExecContext.getProcessDataValue("/process_data/@testExport");



System.out.println(" TESTING NOW 5"); // till here get printed

System.out.println(" testExport2 is here = "+ testExport.getNameID() );// throw null pointer



System.out.println(" testExport2 is here = "+ testExport2.getNameID() );// throw null pointer

System.out.println(" TESTING NOW 6"); does not print this

What is the type of /process_data/testExport in Workbench? Did you create a custom data type called testExport? Or you used Object?

Hi Jasmin,
The type of /process_data/testExport in Workbench is TestExport, I created a custom data type called TestExport inside package mycommonpackage.
The component that export this datatype has component.xml with export as below.
