  • 1.  ODM 8.12.0.1 Rule Designer: Error message for implicit casting of domain value to Java type

    When trying to upgrade from ODM 8.11.1 to 8.12.0.1 we encountered the following error message:

    Here's the method declaration:

    The domain looks like this:

    Interestingly the error message doesn't appear in the problems view. Exporting, deploying and executing the ruleapp work fine. In Rule Designer 8.11.1 there wasn't any error message. 
    Is this a known issue for ODM 8.12.0.1?

    We've attached a mini ruleapp for reproducing the problem.

    You should be able to resolve this by adding a cast to String in the b2x

    return (java.lang.String) inputMyValues;

    Is this a Workaround or a undocumented intended change? In our ruleapps we use domains a lot and have many occurences to update.

    With ODM 8.11.1 using domain-values worked without explicit casting. The readability of the source is not getting better with castings :-)

     

    In the simple example the workaround works. With more complex b2x mappings we run into the following problem:

    java.lang.String temp = (java.lang.String) inputMyValues;
return temp;

// [GBREA0072E: Unable to find a variable named 'temp', GBREA0031E: Unable to find an attribute named 'temp' in type 'com.ibm.rules.engine.ruleflow.runtime.TaskInstance']

    Michael's example showcases the issue we currently have. Not being able to use local variables is a pain.
    Plus there really would be a lot of occurences we would have to update.

    Can you recreate the problem?
