Hi,

I'm having problems when using two configuration functions: status definitions -> transitions; input status -> by status

(1) status definitions -> transitions
Code:

 javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.Error: org.eclnt.ccappor.util.WrapperError: java.lang.NullPointerException
 	at javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:325)
 	at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:306)

 	at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:244)
 	at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:210)
 [...]

(2) input status -> by status
Code:

 javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.Error: java.lang.NullPointerException

 	at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:306)

Any ideas of what's wrong?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
will check...
Please always attach your ccappor.metadata.xml - thanks!
Regards, Björn

PS: and, to be honest - status management is nice, but we are not too sure if we really spend effort into it; it's nice for some scenarios, but also quite limited... ;-)

Sorry Bjorn, here is file content (ccappor.metadata.xml):

Hi,

aah, the status management only works with entities that are marked as being status-managed. Yours is not.

But anyway: let me briefly check the status management on my own.

Regards, Björn

PS: you have noticed that the configuration did change (now it's a quite simple XML configuration). This caused a bit trouble internally, though the execution runtime remained 100% the same...)

Hi,

no problems with status management - it works as defined.

I enriched your metadata file with an entity order and order status in order to provide an example, see below.

You now can defined order status, can define transitions on orderstatus + order status are used in the order as well.

Regards, Björn

Hi Bjorn, thanks!

Well, you right... i can use without problems on those entities marked with status-management... maybe for the ones that are not, exception could be treated avoiding error to appear...

Two questions related to status (using your orders example):
* i've defined a status as being initial status, but i was allowed to save an order without a status defined (the status field is marked as mandatory also)
* order status is defined by clicking on status appearing on the form toolbar... is the only way to do it? Or when can define by using a combobox within form field?

Regards,
Carlos V.

Hi,

if you mark the status field as mandatory in the order, then you should be forced to define one...

Yes, currently the status is only selctable from the top...

Regards! Björn

Hi Bjorn, it seems to exist an issue here, because ii have status marked as mandatory on the order entity... when trying to save it allows it.
Regards,
