Error while in Test mode

Question

Hi all,
I get an error message everytime a certain field is blank. If it has a value, there is no error. I have already tried using mapwithdefault but there is still an error.
Error message:
The message is: Exception:[java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot cast to float. ] in class com.sap.aii.mappingtool.flib3.Stat method sum[com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.rt.C2CFunctionWrapper@6f5c73c1] com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.MessageMappingException:
thanks

Hi,
I get an error message everytime a certain field is blank
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot cast to float
This is the problem...the target node seems to be of type xsd:float and when such a field is passed a value the value should be in the [required format|http://books.xmlschemata.org/relaxng/ch19-77095.html]
If this is not followed then you are bound to get an error (as you are getting it now)
Float and other such types are not like xsd:string wherein even if you don't pass any value it's ok....
So when a value is passed it's fine and accepted by the xsd:float but it can't accept a blank/null.
So make sure that you always pass a value to the field or else if possibe change the type of the target node to xsd:string and then you can pass / avoid passing a value.....hope it helps.
If you need help in converting string to float then check this out: Re: how to Convert  the STRING TO FLOAT.
