Service Virtualization

Hi All,

I am trying to build a custom filter and I need to select an attribute and read the value it contains.

Everything works fine except fot the last step.

I can get to select the attribute but can't find the proper command to get the value it contains.

To make it a little bit more clear what I am trying to do I isolated the problem in a test class which I attach.

When I select the attribute in the filter it gets the name of the filter but I need to get the value. e.g.

flStartDatetime                       <-- this is read and returned

2017-09-17 10:30:22.123      <-- I need the value the attribute contains

This is the command in the custom filter I use: Object objToString = paramTestExec.getStateValue(this.prop);

But this and everything else I tried does not work and I can not find any documentation on it.

I hope you can help me with the right command or an example that I can copy.

Thanks in advance. Regards Oscar Betgen

Oscar, Thank you for posting the question in communities. I will get back to you as soon as I can after inquiring within the team/Dev.

Hi Oscar, 

I am trying to understand the purpose of the filter, please explain. 

Also, I looked into the code, I don't see any line of code that is taking extracting value from response and setting it to the given property name. 

Hi Monika,

This is just a test setup to read the value of a attribute as I am struggling to get the value out of another attribute and only get the name of the attribute.

I do not know how to get the value as .getStatevalue does not seem to work in my code…

I will attach my original code where I try to do something usefull.

I take a starttimestamp and endtimestamp (both with shortdateformat string)

Subtract these

And get the result in milliseconds                            (result also with shortdateformat string)

It only works with the values typed in directly  but not with reading the values from another attribute.

With kind regards/

Met vriendelijke groet,

Hi Oscar, 

Could you please try replacing the code for subPostFilter with below? We have tried declaring the value as String rather than as Object and later changing it to String.  

public boolean subPostFilter(TestExec paramTestExec)
throws TestRunException
{
try
{
String parm = paramTestExec.getStateValue(this.prop);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
logger.error(e.getMessage(), e);
throw new RuntimeException(e.getMessage(), e);
}
paramTestExec.log(parm);
}

Thank you 

Neelima Kadimi

Hi Neelima,

Yes that works!

I tried it in the test project and will use this in the datediff filter I am building.

I hope I can get it right but now I have an example to work from so thanks!

Have a good evening and talk to you soon.

Thanks again!

With kind regards/
