DynamicForm.getValuesAsRecord() doesn't work

[Turiddu]

Hi everybody!
I'm using a DynamicForm without a DataSource and I set its fields using the method editSelectedData() passing as parameter an instance of ListGridTable (without a DataSource too). I make a check to ensure that the selection in the table is not null.
When I try to get data from the form invoking the method getValuesAsRecord, the following exception is thrown:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported type for attribute __ref : com.smartgwt.client.widgets.grid.ListGridRecord@1b1eb3a.

Here's the stack trace I get:

Any suggestion is welcome!

Post all of your relevant versions (see FAQ) and try the latest if you haven't already.

[Turiddu]

Here's my software versions

SmartGWT version: 2.1
GWT version: 2.0.3
SO: Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Browser: Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3
JDK: 1.6 update 18

The issue is raised in GWT Development Mode.

[Turiddu]

The exception is raised also for a Dynamic Form binded with a List Grid using the same Data Source. So I can't retrieve the data in the form as a Record.

[Turiddu]

I've just downloaded the new versione of SmartGWT (2.2) and tested the invocation of the method getValuesAsRecord() of DynamicForm. Now it works fine! Thank you!

I'm wrong. That method continues to throw an exception in particular when I try to get the form data from a form binded with a grid list and both widgets share the same Data Source.

Here is the stack trace:

I post again my configuration:
IDE: Eclipse Galileo (3.5.2)
GWT: 2.0.3
SmartGWT: 2.2
OS: MS Windows Server 2003, MS Windows Vista
Browser: Firefox 3.6.3, IE 8.

I've attached a stand-alone test case showing the issue. The code is similar to the Grid-Form binding - Update sample of the SmartGWT showcase (original class: GridFormUpdateSample).

Any fix or suggestion???

Nothing new? Is it possible that noboby has faced this issue?

getValuesAsRecord() returns

Hi ,
I did the following and it works !!!!

@SuppressWarnings("unused")
Map values =getValues();
Map m2 = new HashMap();
m2.putAll(values);
m2.remove("__ref");
Record rec = new Record(JSOHelper.convertMapToJavascriptObject(m2)));

Please file an issue in tracker with a link to this thread.

Thanks,

I got the same problem. __ref is a ListGridRecord and JSOHelper's convertMapToJavascriptObject(Map) does not know how to handle such an object, obviously.

I also suspect this problem only occurs when editing data based on what is selected in a corresponding (i.e. with the same datasource) Grid with DynamicForm's editSelectedData(ListGrid).

The workaround proposed above works for me too (just deleting __ref from the getValues() returned map directly though).

[sjivan]

Fixed, please try the next nightly build.
