Hi,

I have a customer that is trying to use the SDK to write a date field. Can some one please give some guidance on the code below?

Thanks,

Brian

We are attempting to use the java laserfice SDK interface to write a date field, and it keeps failing. See code snippet below. (Running Laserfiche 9.2 client / server /sdk). Can you help us figure out the correct method to write a date?

Thanks!

Below is the snippet of the java code. It throws 'Bad Field Value' error.

Document document = Document.create(....);

Calendar dateValue = Calendar.getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));

dateValue.set(2015, 11, 15, 0, 0, 0);

FieldValueCollection fvc = new FieldValueCollection();

Field effectiveDate = new Field("Effective Date", session);

fvc.add(effectiveDate, dateValue);

document.setFields(fvc);

document.save();

I'm not familiar with the Java SDK, but with the .Net one you typically don't instantiate a new FielValueCollection. Instead you call GetFieldValues() on the entry to get a reference to its collection, and then you don't call SetFields() since it already has that collection assigned to it.

Not sure if this is an issue as well, but the Date field (in RA at least) takes a Date object as its input and you are trying to pass it a Calendar object. You may need to use the Calendar.GetTime() function to get a Date object.
