Correspondence Management custom build errors

[Former Community Member]

Hello,

I have been looking at customising the Correspondence Management Flex applications, I have been able to update the logo for example, rebuild the ear file and deploy it. The logo is successfully updated but there is a problem with the CreateCorrespondence application, whenever it is launched it displays the following error message:

'A letter was not specified for filling'

I set flex.debug=true in the top level build script and rebuilt/deployed. When attaching the Flex debugger I get the following output:

Something seems to be wrong in the 'com.adobe.consulting.pst.vo.Letter' class, this class is in the adobe-acm-flex-services.swc which is in the assetcomposer building block.

Looking into the adobe-acm-flex-services.swc, the Letter class does NOT contain getter/setter properties for 'expressionSwf', it does contain a reference for 'dataDictionaryRef' NOT 'dataDictionaryRefs'. The client/server definitions for the com.adobe.consulting.pst.vo.Letter class are not compatible.

The default install of the Correspondence Management SA works fine without the above errors, it only fails after I have rebuilt the ear file.

The ReferenceErrors  are warnings that can be ignored. There must be more in the logs beynd that. Could you share that?

Also, what is the URL with which you are invoking the Create Correspondence app?

Would also be helpful if you could enlist the steps that you had taken to customize the solution, so that we could confirm if there is nothing amiss there.

[Former Community Member]

Hi

Thanks for the response.

The url is:  http://localhost:8080/cmsa/dc/?cmLetterName=ClaimCoverageConfirmation&cmDataUrl=assets/ClaimCoverage...

There are no errors in server.log, is there anywhere else I should be looking?

The customisation was a change of logo in the appHeader.css file. The ear file succcessully builds and deploys with the logo change but the 'create correspondence' application fails with the above error message.

Cheers

Thanks for the details.

I was looking for more in the 'flash' logs. (i.e., what's logged beyond the 'ReferenceErrors')

[Former Community Member]

Nothing more in the console. The 'A letter was not specified for filling' error is displayed with a close button in the UI at start up, clicking this closes the window.

[Former Community Member]

Looking at the flash logs :

......

......

{icc_dc} info [IndexModel/appInitHandler]@10:42:38 > invoke url: null

{icc_dc} info [IndexModel/appInitHandler]@10:42:38 > invoke params: {ivp id: null, name:null, state: -1, ver: 0, useTestData: false, xmlData: null, dataUrl: null, ddkeMap: null, preview: false, debug: false, fbDebug: false, dataDebug: false}

......

......

it seems that the CCR app could not pick the correct URL. Was the DC application SWF built successfully and correctly?

What Flash player version are you using?

Hi,

What if you disabled the flex debug environment and produced/deployed a standard release SWF?

[Former Community Member]

I found the solution, unfortunately the html wrapper that the CreateCorrespondence app sits in had been reset to the standard Flex wrapper, I think this may have happened when I changed the SDK to the required Flex 3.4 SDK. So it was missing a link to the dcScript.js. The invoked parameters were not being seen as the Flex app was using the external interface to talk to dcScript.js to get them.

Thanks

Deleted 'jboss.web' within 'work' folder and it started to work for me.
