JHS-00117 not found in bundle JhsUserMessages_nl at commit time

Question

Dear All,
We have a legacy JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 / JHeadstart 10.1.3.2.52 application using flex items. In the JH application definition file we've defined a group that contain both 'normal' bound items as well as a flexible region that displays flex items.
The group is based on a view object (instance). The VO is entity based and incorporates a number of attributes that are not mapped to SQL columns, rather the corresponding getter invokes a method on the entityimpl like so:
public String getWeegschaalPercEx() { //
//return (String) getAttributeInternal(WEEGSCHAALPERCEX);
return (String)this.getEntity(0).getAttribute("WeegschaalPercEx");
In the EntityImpl.java class, the queried attribute is actually derived from the value of a flex item:
public String getWeegschaalPercEx() {
//return (String)getAttributeInternal(WEEGSCHAALPERCEX);
String val = null;
val = (String)this.getFlexItemValue("AangeleverdeMutatieVoorWerkgever","DmrMutGeg","PERC_EX");
private Object getFlexItemValue(String groupName, String flexRegionName, String flexItemName) {
String mutatieId = this.getMutatieId().toString();
RowSetIterator rsIterator = this.getFlexItems(groupName, flexRegionName,mutatieId, null, null);
Object val = null;
while ( rsIterator.hasNext() ) {
FlexItemDefsOuterJoinedWithFlexItemsRowImpl item =
(FlexItemDefsOuterJoinedWithFlexItemsRowImpl)rsIterator.next();
if ( item.getName().equals(flexItemName) ) {
val = item.getItemValue();
break;
rsIterator.closeRowSetIterator();
return val;
public RowSetIterator getFlexItems(String group,
String flexRegion,
String keyValue1,
String keyValue2,
String keyValue3)
JhsApplicationModuleImpl jhsApModImpl = (JhsApplicationModuleImpl) this.getDBTransaction().getRootApplicationModule();
JhsModelServiceImpl jms = (JhsModelServiceImpl)jhsApModImpl.getNestedJhsModelService();
ViewObject vo = jms.getFlexItemDefsOuterJoinedWithFlexItems();
String naam = "FlexItemsFor" + group + flexRegion + keyValue1 + keyValue2 + keyValue3;
RowSet rs = vo.findRowSet(naam);
if (rs == null)
rs = vo.createRowSet(naam);
rs.setNamedWhereClauseParam("GroupName", group);
rs.setNamedWhereClauseParam("RegionName", flexRegion);
rs.setNamedWhereClauseParam("KeyValue1", keyValue1);
rs.setNamedWhereClauseParam("KeyValue2", keyValue2);
rs.setNamedWhereClauseParam("KeyValue3", keyValue3);
rs.executeQuery();
rs.setRangeSize(-1);
if (rs.getRowCountInRange() == 0) {
return null;
RowSetIterator rsIt = rs.createRowSetIterator(null);
return rsIt;
We noticed the following:
When we first deeplink to a row (say with KeyValue1=A), modify a number of flex item values in that row and then commit, everything is fine. Please note that all mandatory flex items for this row have a valid value and have been saved
to the database.
Subsequently, we deeplink to a different row (say with KeyValue1=B), modify flex item values of that row, and try to commit, the system displays an error message JHS-00117 not found in bundle JhsUserMessages_nl.
Now, JHS-00117 is thrown in the FlexItemImpl.java validateEntity method when a flexitem is mandatory and no value has been provided. Even though the error code is not present in the message bundle, that doesn't really concern us.
We noticed while debugging this application that when trying to commit the row with keyvalue1=B, the system is also trying to validate FlexItemImpl entities with keyvalue1=A, even though we've already committed that row. Moreover,
the value of these flex items is null i.e. they do not reflect the actual values stored in the jhs_flex_items table, causing the aforementioned error code. I've spent many mind-raking hours trying to figure out how these entities got into the picture in the first place.
We'd appreciate any idea, tip or suggestion that could help us get to the bottom of this 'problem'.

Ibrahim

Ibrahim,
Yes, JHS-00117 is missing. The error message code shoudl have been JHS-00120. You can fix this by adding JHS-00117 to your own resource bundle.
Thanks for reporting, we have fixed this for next JHS 11 release.
I tried reproducing the issue you have with the required flex item after a deeplink, without success though.
Can you send a testcase based on the HR schema that reproduces the issue?
