Hi,

How are setting the value from value attribute to the model node of webservice...

Is their any input attribute of type date ...

You cant add extra value to your model node.. Why cant u create the same in the webservice and re-create the model..

By the way what is exposed as web service here ?

thats not the issue. How will i change it during my web service call. How will i change the attribute value during runtime so that string goes to web service?

You have mapped the input field to a value attribute of type date.

Get it in the code usiong its getter method.

now convert as i have mentioned and then create a object of the webservice model node.. set this string value to it and execute the model..

Where is the problem ?

Hi sujesh,

What you need to do is, at the time of calling the webservice retrieve the value from the attribute which you have bound to the Date navigator. convert as explained by Bharathwaj and then get that value in string using tostring method.

Now, pass this string value in your input field of the Webservice model and then execute your model.

Let me know the status whether its working or not.

hi,

Date date = wdContext.currentContextElement().get<value attrname>();

SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy');

String strdate = formatter.format(date);

z<modelobject> modelobj = new z<modelobject>();

modelbj.set<model date attribute>(strdate);

wdContext.node<model node name>().bind(model);

then

wdCOntext.current<modelnode>element().modelObject().execute();

hi ,

If you want to change java.util.date to string format here is the sample code

Date d=new Date(2004,04,04);

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");

String date = sdf.format(d);

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(date);

Hope this helps you

Regards
