  • 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?

    Thank you for the Fix.

    We tested the fix with our ruleapps and can confirm, that everything works now as in 8.11.1

    (tested with  8.12.0.1-IF014 and 9.0.0.0-IF003)
