Getting IllegalArgumentException when submitting an AIKAU form

satheeshkumar

Hi All,

I have a custom AIKAU form, which contains few text boxes and a dynamic list(created by SimplePicker widget), when I submit this form I am getting IllegalArgumentException.

//My Custom Model defintion

It looks like the values in the collections should be serializable, but I am not sure how to make this dynamic list to be serializable, can you please help me on this.

This isn't really a specific Aikau issue, but rather how you're using Aikau to construct your form POST. It's quite tricky to follow because you're using a custom model so we'd need to know what your model can accept.

Hi Dave,

I just used my own custom PublishTopic instead of "ALF_CRUD_CREATE", and used custom post webscript to post the data, now I am able to submit the data without any issues.

Hi Satheesh,
Have you made any specific changes in the custom topic when comparing with ALF_CRUD_CREATE?
Can you please post your custom topic details here? I am very much interested to find out the details. 🙂

Hi Murali,

I Have created a custom web-script to handle the post request and created a custom service to subscribe the custom topic.

//My custom Service
define([ "dojo/_base/declare", "alfresco/core/Core", "dojo/_base/lang",
      "alfresco/core/CoreXhr", "service/constants/Default","alfresco/dialogs/AlfDialog","hc/widgets/topics/_TopicsMixin" ], function(
      declare, Core, lang, CoreXhr, AlfConstants, AlfDialog, _TopicsMixin) {

   return declare([ Core, CoreXhr, _TopicsMixin ], {

      constructor : function hc_widgets__constructor(args) {
         lang.mixin(this, args);
         this.alfSubscribe(this.ProductCreateTopic, lang.hitch(this,
               this.createProductType)); //ProductCreateTopic has been mapped to the custom topic that I publish         
      },

createProductType : function hc_widgets__createProductType(payload) {         
         this.serviceXhr({
            url : AlfConstants.PROXY_URI + "manage-product-library/" +payload.prop_cm_name+"?action=create",
            method : "POST",
            data : {
               prop_cm_name : payload.prop_cm_name,
               prop_hccm_prefix : payload.prop_hccm_prefix,
               prop_cm_title : payload.prop_cm_title,
               prop_cm_description : payload.prop_cm_description,
               prop_hccm_imageLibraryList : payload.prop_hccm_imageLibraryList,
               prop_hccm_backgroundImageLibraryList : payload.prop_hccm_backgroundImageLibraryList,
               prop_hccm_stockImageLibraryList : payload.prop_hccm_stockImageLibraryList,
               prop_hccm_photoImageLibraryList : payload.prop_hccm_photoImageLibraryList,
               prop_hccm_graphicsImageLibraryList : payload.prop_hccm_graphicsImageLibraryList   
            },
            successCallback: this.onSuccessCreate,
            failureCallback: this.onFailureCreate,
             callbackScope: this
         });
      }
   });
});

//My Custom JavaBacked Webscript,
Portion of logic to post the data,
if(action != null && action.equalsIgnoreCase("create")){
   logger.warn("Going to "+action+" the product type : "+ productType);
   
   //This actually generates the JSON Object.
   jsonObject = HCCommonUtils.generateJSONObject(req);
   
   
   try {      
      //This Generates the productMap.
      Map<QName, Serializable> productMap = generateProductMap();               
      try {   
         if (productMap != null) {
            //Creating the Actual Node. //QName.createQName(NamespaceService.CONTENT_MODEL_PREFIX, "name") is no way related here, but still it is mandatory so giving a dummy name.
            nodeService.createNode(productLibraryNodeRef, ContentModel.ASSOC_CONTAINS, QName.createQName(NamespaceService.CONTENT_MODEL_PREFIX, "name"), HCCustomModel.QNAME_PRODUCT_TYPE_FOLDER, productMap);
         }
         else{
            throw new AlfrescoRuntimeException("productMap can not be null");
         }                  
      } catch (InvalidTypeException | InvalidQNameException e) {
         logger.error("Exceptio Occurred while creating new Node"+ e.getMessage());
      }
      
   } catch (InvalidNodeRefException | JSONException e) {
      logger.error("Error occured while Creating properties from Json Object."
            + e.getMessage());
   }

}

//generateProductMap() has the custom logic to convert the generated JSONData into productMap of (Map<QName, Serialisable>)
