Java Experts,

How to convert XSD:String type as an input variable to an array in UDF?

Thanks!

I choose the option to 'Queue' for UDF.

public void test2(String[] inputList,ResultList result,Container container){

int charLimit = 132;

char[] stringTochars = inputList.toCharArray();

boolean endOfString = false;

int start = 0;

int end = start;

while(start < stringTochars.length-1) {

int lastSpace = 0;

for (int charCount = 0 ; charCount < charLimit ; charCount++) {

if(stringTochars[charCount+start] == ' ') {

lastSpace = charCount;

}

if(charCount+start == inputList.length()) {

endOfString = true;

break;

}

}

if (endOfString) {

end = inputList.length();

} else if (lastSpace > 0) {

end = lastSpace+start;

} else {

end = charCount+start;

}

result.addValue(inputList.substring(start, end));

start = end+1;

}

}

I am getting syntax error as follows:

cannot resolve symbol symbol : method toCharArray () location: class java.lang.String[] char[] stringTochars = inputList.toCharArray();

Thank you,

MP

Hi MP,

Well, It is not necessary convert the string array as char array, Use only "inputList" for your iteration, It is an array.

Hi MP

Why do you ned to convert to char?

You can use inputList [] is an array.

Hi MP

Can you explain more clearly?. All pararameters are in String.

if you want to receive as an array choose the option en Queue in your UDF.

Hi MP,

While creating the UDF, you chose the Execution Type as "All Values of Queue".
