Hello,
I’m trying to run WmSamples sample.idata:readAndWriteRecordList java service in webMethods 6.5. It seems to be involved in some “infinite loop” and doesn’t stop. I can run this service in webMethods 4.6 without any problems and the result is returned instantly.
Basically, what this service is trying to do is to take the content of an input document list (recordListIn) and copy the data to an output document list (recordListOut). In each loop of the input document list, the recordListIn/field(n) is mapped to recordListOut/field-out(n)
where (n) means that the number of fields in the document varies.
The content of this service is available in WmSamples (sample/idata folder). I’ve also included the Java service below (for reference).
I’m really confused why this service works in webMethods 4.6 but it keeps “looping” in webMethods 6.5 (even when I filled in only 1 record in recordListIn).
Regards,
Jun.
