Function library in PI 7.1 - retrieval of filename
Hi,
I am trying to use the function library functionality in PI 7.1 but struggling a bit.
Basically, I want a function for the retrieval of the filename - pretty easy in goold old UDF days but not so easy now everything has moved to the function library world in PI 7.1
I have defined the following code in the "init" Function and Java Areas:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
//For getting filename
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
//For getting directory
DynamicConfigurationKey key2 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","Directory");
// Retrieve the filename
String FileName = conf.get(key1);
// Retrieve the directory
String Directory = conf.get(key2);
This is working ok - but I want to return these values so they can be used in mapping.
when I try to add the statement return FileName; , the compiler then complains with the following error:
cannot return a value from method whose result type is void return FileName;
But where do you define the result type for a method ????? I guess it has something to do with the signature variables but I am a bit lost.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Colin.
