Adobe Offline Form - Parse method is not possible for this type

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have developed an application for the offline scenario of interactive adobe form. I tried to load the adobe form from my desktop. After pressing the button "Display form" it throws an error "Parse method is not possible for this type".

If I include wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("pdfObject").getModifiableSimpleType() in the doInit() method of the view I receive this error -

com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.context.ContextException: MappedAttributeInfo(UploadView.pdfObject): must not modify the datatype of a mapped attribute

When I comment it out and upload I receive the error enclosed -

Parse method is not possible for this type

Can someone please help me with a step by step solution to this problem?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Divya

Hi Divya,

Please try to do it as stated below:

IWDAttributeInfo attInfo = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("pdfObject");

ISimpleTypeModifiable type = attInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();

IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType)type;

Try putting the code in wdInit() or wdDoModifyView().

Let me know if you still face the issue.

Hi Arafat,

When I added the code suggested by you to the wdDoInit or wdDoModify methods, I receive error as displayed below -

com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.context.ContextException: MappedAttributeInfo(UploadView.pdfObject): must not modify the datatype of a mapped attribute

Kindly advice.

Many thanks,

Divya

HI Divya,

If your context attribute in view is mapped to an attribute in component controller or custom controller,

then you need to write this code in your component / custom controller.

check if that works.
