Getting Error while Calling Java File from oblixpppcatalog.lst file

Question

Hi,
We are trying to configure userservcenter_workflowCreateProfile in oblixpppcatalog.lst file to call a java class that returns an xml file as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ObEventParams
xmlns="http://www.oblix.com/">
<ObParamList name="ObRequest">
<ObParam name="sn">
<ObValue>Smith</ObValue>
</ObParam>
</ObParamList>
</ObEventParams>
But when we try to run this code by clicking on "Create User Identity" we are getting "An error in Pre/Post Processing of the Page has Occured" or Some times we get "Parse error in XML document sent by event handler to identity server".
Can some please shed some light on this issue?
Thanks,
Ganesh

Hi Ganesh,
That event xml looks rather incomplete - I would expect it to contain information about the workflow, and workflow step etc. For example, I have a Create User workflow that generates Event XML beginning:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ObEventParams
xmlns="http://www.oblix.com/">
<ObParamList
name="WfInstance">
<ObParam
name="obwfinstanceid">
<ObValue>f92cab82ee4b43ccba42869bb2928d0c</ObValue>
</ObParam>
<ObParam
name="obworkflowdn">
<ObValue>obworkflowid=060efe6966674e54be63383290d81e63,obcontainerId=workflowDefinitions,o=Oblix,dc=example,dc=com</ObValue>
</ObParam>
<ObParam
name="obworkflowname">
<ObValue>Create User</ObValue>
etc etc...
You could look at the Event XML that is sent to the plugin from your workflow to a file by reading STDIN and dumping it to a file. There is an example of this in Note 843570.1 (happens to be for a password change event, but it should work for any ppp exec event). Then your code could change the Event XML as required, but keeping the basic structure of the data that is sent to it.
