  • 1.  EDS - missing some configuration...

    Posted Fri January 17, 2025 05:21 AM

    Hi there,

    Hi need to alter the way that the properties of a document are shown, the field has a text but I want to show as a simple choice list. 

    I've followed the documentation, on https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg248055.pdf, on configuring the EDS but with no luck.

    What I did:

    • installed the new application in weblogic - sampleEDSService.war
    • installed the plugin edsPlugin.jar in navigator - with the url of the new application above

    Then I put it on debug (eclipse), and tried to "add document" or "show properties of an existing one" for that class - but nothing triggers...

    Maybe I'm missing something, but I've followed the instructions but... can anyone help me on this?

    Then I created a new IBM Content Navigator plugin project to filter the actions, and with the new plugin I can debug see the properties of the class.

    So how should I implement what I need?

    Regards,

    Bruno

    hi Bruno,

    How are the values being displayed currently?

    Does the document already have values assigned to the properties?

    Hi Nanda,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I finally got it to work, I think it was restart of the server that did it...

    Now is calling the UpdateObjectTypeServlet as supposed to...

    Hi Bruno,

    we had similar requirements to display the choice list in ICN, but the choice list and its values are external (in external DB) and we can not change external DB (its structure). We've used the Response filter to alter JSON response ("criterias") for service "/p8/getDependentAttributeInfo". Maybe that can help you also.

    Hi Jana,

    Yes with response filter it worked ok, but I wanted to test the eds service.
