BO-findAll operation to use in Application service

Question

Hi Experts,
I am new to CAF development, i have requirement that i need to read the CAF database records based on the Custom key created. It returns a object with the entire record( sometimes multiple records) so how to read those records from the object(return value) and display them one by one.
It would be helpful if you could send some sample code.
thanks

Hi Ketan,
You can implement findAll or findById in application service. First while defining the operations set the output parameter to be a structure which contains that BO(You create yourself a complex structure for it-there you can set cardinality).
Then in the application service under that operation using the service Bean of the BO access the Bo's corresponding methods(either findById or findAll). Get that output and set it in the output parmeter and return it.
public com.caf.types.FindAllAmendmentsResMsg findAllAmendments(
               @javax.jws.WebParam(name="inputParameter1")
               com.hcl.xapps.ipr.caf.types.FindAllAmendmentsReqMsg inputParameter1) {
          FindAllAmendmentsResMsg response = new FindAllAmendmentsResMsg();
          try {
               List<Amendment> amendmentList = new ArrayList<Amendment>();
               amendmentList = (List<Amendment>) this.getAmendmentService().findAll();
               response.setAmendmentList(amendmentList);
          } catch (CAFFindException cfe) {
          return response;
The above is an example for findAll.
Hope it helps you
