Record.convertToRecordArray

[levi]

Hi,
I've been logging editedRecord before doing setData, and after response.getDate (but still before processResponse) and I've seen that my record is not the same after using response.getData() !

//log editedRecord here
response.setData(new Record[]{editedRecord});
//log  response.getData() here
processResponse(requestId, response);

I've changed Record.convertToRecordArray() into the following and this solves "the difference". Can anyone explain (why would I 'sometimes' need to go getRef and sometimes not?) and maybe solve this if this is indeed a bug?

public static Record[] convertToRecordArray(JavaScriptObject nativeArray) {
    if (nativeArray == null) {
        return new Record[]{};
    }
    if (JSOHelper.isArray(nativeArray)) {
        JavaScriptObject[] componentsj = JSOHelper.toArray(nativeArray);
        Record[] objects = new Record[componentsj.length];
        for (int i = 0; i < componentsj.length; i++) {
            JavaScriptObject componentJS = componentsj[i];

//change this:
//Record obj = (Record) RefDataClass.getRef(componentJS);
//into:
Record obj = new Record(componentJS);


            if (obj == null) obj = new Record(componentJS);
            objects[i] = obj;
        }
        return objects;
    } else {
        Record[] ret = new Record[1];
        ret[0] = Record.getOrCreateRef(nativeArray);
        return ret;
    }
}

cheers,

This is quite strange. Can you put a breakpoint in the line after

Record obj = (Record) RefDataClass.getRef(componentJS)

using the original code and let us know what the value of "obj" is? As you can see from the following line :

if (obj == null) obj = new Record(componentJS);

the value assigned to obj is the same as your code. The call to RefDataClass.getRef(componentJS) returns a non-null value only if you're constructing Record objects yourself.

If this does not help, then you'll need to provide sample code that reproduces the issue.

Hi,

editedRecord =
com.smartgwt.client.data.Record@16ef267
JavaScript object(6449)


Record obj = (Record) RefDataClass.getRef(componentJS)
com.smartgwt.client.data.Record@e96571
JavaScript object(6283)
<=== this object is returned

If I inspect new Record(componentJS) I see =
com.smartgwt.client.data.Record@1a75945
JavaScript object(6449)




====== another time for the same record:
editedRecord =
com.smartgwt.client.data.Record@1b0edcb
JavaScript object(6514)

Record obj = (Record) RefDataClass.getRef(componentJS)
com.smartgwt.client.data.Record@e96571
JavaScript object(6283)

inspect new Record(componentJS)
com.smartgwt.client.data.Record@feaf1e
JavaScript object(6514)



In both cases I get the JSObject 6283, where its 6514 that holds the values I want.

From the information you posted its still not clear what the cause of the issue is. Can you post a standalone testcase?
