How to get seeburger work bench counter value

Question

hi all,
i want to get the current counter value in the seeburger workbech counter.
i used the following function suggested in one of the threads in forum, but its giving the below error
func used:
try {
VariableBean be=VariableFactory.getVariableInstance("");
return be.getStringVariable(variableName);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
error:
RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation: Exception:[java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: VariableBeanServlet: Could not call getVariable() method of the Servlet. Cause=java.lang.ClassCastException]
i guess this above function is to get variable value and not counter value. can any body give me code to get counter value.
Thanks a lot in addvance
Regards,
Rashmi

Answer 1

use getCounter
   //write your code here
try {
CounterBean be=CounterFactory.getCounterInstance();
return ""be.getCounter("counterName_"b"_"a );
} catch (Exception e) { 
    throw new RuntimeException(e.getMessage()); 
will return the same counter what you have ,I also had same scenario what you are facing recently
