Elasticsearch fail because auto-conversion changes String values into Date

Adrian Imfeld — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 04:33:14 -0400

We get an error of the Elasticsearch by saving a BusinessObject over the ivy.repo with a field of type Map< String,String >.

Elasticsearch update index of document failed because of: {"root_cause":[{"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"mapper [details.data.Value1] of different type, current_type [text], merged_type [date]"}],"type":"illegal_argument_exception","reason":"mapper [details.data.Value1] of different type, current_type [text], merged_type [date]"}

The problem ist clear. The field "details.data.Value1" is a date field and i try to store a String.

But the definition of our BusinessObject is different to that!
The field "data" of the "detail" object is defined as a Map< String,String >.
We get this error when we run the following code in an IvyScript (we used a helper class for Maps, because IvyScript is not able to handle double generics).

JobDetail detail = new JobDetail();
Helper helper = new Helper();
helper.setParam("Value1", (new Date()).toString());
detail.data = helper.getParams();
job.details.add(detail);

detail = new JobDetail();
helper.setParam("Value1", "foo");
detail.data = helper.getParams();
job.details.add(detail);

Why does Elasticsearch change the given attribute to a date field, although we just fill in String values?
Furthermore we defined the value as a Map of Sting-String value pairs.
Is there a solution of this issue?

We decided not to use JSON objects instead of our Map, because of the easy handling in further uses.

How to use content with contents in ScriptSteps?

Adrian Imfeld — Tue, 28 Jul 2015 11:36:32 -0400

I have a Label (cms content) which holds other labels. The content of my label looks like that:

<%=ivy.cms.co("/Labels/Labels/username")%> or <%=ivy.cms.co("/Labels/Labels/password")%> is incorrect.

It works fine in JSF UI's with this code:

"#{ivy.cms.co('/Labels/Messages/loginFailedMsg')}"

But if I fill a process variable over a ScriptStep like this...

out.message = ivy.cms.co("/Labels/Messages/loginFailedMsg");

... the integrated contents are not rendered.

Is there a way to get the fully rendered label in a ScriptStep?

How to work with java.util.Date in IvyScript-Step without auto initialization

Adrian Imfeld — Wed, 06 Nov 2013 14:42:43 -0500

In an IvyScriptStep variables are auto initialized as soon as they are accessed. The following code will log "bad":

java.util.Date date = null;
if ( date!=null) {
    ivy.log.info("bad");
} else {
    ivy.log.info("good");
}

It looks like the object "date" will never be a java.util.Date, it is an IvyDate. There is also no chance to import java.util.Date because of a conflict.
