Multiple constructors for BPM Object

I need to create BPM object which can have more than one (overloaded) constructors.
Somehow I am not able to find out a way to create new constructor for a BPM object in Studio.
I guess if I create a Java class and import it in the project, it may work, but I would prefer to create a BPM object rather than java code so that I can easily modify the code as and when required.
Can someone help?

Hi,
Sorry - there's no way to create multiple constructors for a BPM Object (unless as you mentioned - you create an hier from a Java jar file).

Multiple constructors for methods

I have to write a method that takes both ArrayList and array so i'm assuming that i'll need something like multiple constructors for classes but i can't seem to find anything about this anywhere. Is it possible?

Uhm, then you don't need multiple constructors, just overload your method.

Finalize() method being called multiple times for same object?

I got a dilly of a pickle here.
Looks like according to the Tomcat output log file that the finalize method of class User is being called MANY more times than is being constructed.
Here is the User class:
package com.db.multi;
import java.io.*;
import com.db.ui.*;
import java.util.*;
* @author DBriscoe
public class User implements Serializable {
    private String userName = null;
    private int score = 0;
    private SocketImage img = null;
    private boolean gflag = false;
    private Calendar timeStamp = Calendar.getInstance();
    private static int counter = 0;
    /** Creates a new instance of User */
    public User() { counter++;
    public User(String userName) {
        this.userName = userName;
        counter++;
    public void setGflag(boolean gflag) {
        this.gflag = gflag;
    public boolean getGflag() {
        return gflag;
    public void setScore(int score) {
        this.score = score;
    public int getScore() {
        return score;
    public void setUserName(String userName) {
        this.userName = userName;
    public String getUserName() {
        return userName;
    public void setImage(SocketImage img) {
        this.img = img;
    public SocketImage getImage() {
        return img;
    public void setTimeStamp(Calendar c) {
        this.timeStamp = c;
    public Calendar getTimeStamp() {
        return this.timeStamp;
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        try {
            if (obj instanceof User) {
                User comp = (User)obj;
                return comp.getUserName().equals(userName);
            } else {
                return false;
        } catch (NullPointerException npe) {
            return false;
    public void finalize() {
        if (userName != null && !userName.startsWith("OUTOFDATE"))
            System.out.println("User " + userName + " destroyed. " + counter);
    }As you can see...
Every time a User object is created, a static counter variable is incremented and then when an object is destroyed it appends the current value of that static member to the Tomcat log file (via System.out.println being executed on server side).
Below is the log file from an example run in my webapp.

It really does seem to me like finalize is being called multiple times for the same object.
That number should incremement for every instantiated User, and finalize can only be called once for each User object.
I thought this was impossible?
Any help is appreciated!

Thanks...
I am already thinking of ideas to limit the number of threads.
Unfortunately there are two threads of execution in the servlet handler, one handles requests and the other parses the collection of User objects to check for out of date timestamps, and then eliminates them if they are out of date.
The collection parsing thread is currently a javax.swing.Timer thread (Bad design I know...) so I believe that I can routinely check for timestamps in another way and fix that problem.
Just found out too that Tomcat was throwing me a ConcurrentModificationException as well, which may help explain the slew of mysterious behavior from my servlet!
The Timer thread has to go. I got to think of a better way to routinely weed out User objects from the collection.
Or perhaps, maybe I can attempt to make it thread safe???
Eg. make my User collection volatile?
Any opinions on the best approach are well appreciated.

ToString() for BPM Objects

Hello,
How does engine create strings out of BPM objects? Is there a "toString()" Java equivalent that gets called when an object instance is used in string concatenation expression?
Thanks,
Nick.

Hi,
we usually use this way to show objects in combo box: BPM object has an id attribute (Integer). We will associate combobox with this id. Open attribute properties if 'id'. Mark 'dynamic method' on valid values. Mark 'method return descriptions' too. You have to create a method thats returns a String[int]. This will contain text displayed on combo box associated to this id. Users will see the text but you get the id of the selected object.

One sender n multiple receiver for BPM

Hi,
In BPM ( one sender to Multpli receivers ( file to IDOC ) i need to split the incoming message as per message content to multiple receivers,can we achive such scenario without using BPM?if yes how? if not why?
Thanks in advance.

Ginger
Without using BPM, it is also possible:
There are two type of splitting scenario:
1. One type of source message split to multiple messages of same type:
In this scenario, it is very easy to handle multiple receivers, you just need to add additional receivers (without conditions) in your receiver determination
2. One type of source message split to messages of different types:
In this scenario, there are two sub scenarios: the first sub-scenario just have one receiver, and second sub-scenario have multiple receivers. In your case, it seems that you have second sub-scenario:
You can also have just one receiver determination, you can add mutiple receivers in your receiver list,based on XPATH conditions, to judge one unique node for each type of message, e.g. /MT_MyMsg/Root/Resource using operator "EX", it means exists.
Hope this give you some idea.

How to generate "constructor" for parameter object

Hello,
As part of my research project I need to find the "constructor" of a given
parameter object.
For example: Suppose we have the following method -
public void int pop(Stack st) {
//some code...
I want to generate code that calls this method and its parameter with its
constructor. Like -
pop(new Stack(10));
As you can see I need to return a valid instance of the parameter to the
method (null wont do).
I dont know what library or API to use for this purpose.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Fayezin

That's not a great example. If you have a Stack class, then pop() should be a method on that class, not some other class. And if you created a new Stack object, then presumably it would be empty, so popping it should cause an exception.
Anyway, if you want to get the constructor of a class, use Introspection. There may be a better solution though, depending on what you're actually trying to accomplish.

Multiple language for PS objects

Hi gurus.
The multi language short texts of PS objects was released by SAP in EHP4. How can I use this improvement with Standard WBS and Standard Network (tcode CJ91 and CN01)?
Thanks

In my understanding the EHP4 functionality only applies to operative structures.

Multiple presence for one object

I'm trying to setup an object (button) with two different presence script. Right now I have a button with the presence set to visible (screen only) under the object --> field tab. Then I have at the docReady event i put this.presence = "hidden" not sure if this is the right way. Is there a better way to do this? It seems to work find on the form but when the form is saved and reopened the button disappears. I guess I should also mention that the appearance of the button is controled by drop down. Any help on this please is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
The script is firing when the form is opened (docReady event) and is hiding the button as requested. I think that I would delete this docReady event and just leave the presence be set from the script in the dropdown. Does that make sense?
There is an example here that looks at ways in which you can script the presence and relevance properties: http://assure.ly/h7whb8.

Can we have multiple transports for the same object.

Hi guys,
Can we have multiple transports for same object in dev system. Can anyone tell me how can this be done.
Thanks

Its not possible for the same development object. Only 1 person can access an object at a time and if mutiple users modify an object new TASKs are created under the same TRANSPORT.
Only after releasing the tr you can create a new tr on the same object.

Multiple KPI for the same Initative or Perspective

Hi all,
     Here we are facing a problem with a customer BSC model that we need to adapt to SAP SSM
   The customer has the following BSC structure ":
   1) Multiple KPIs for ONE Perspective ( in SSM the maximum that we have it is a Perpective related to one KPI )
   2) Multiple KPIs for an Objective ( Ok, SSM is OKJ in this point )
   3) Multiple KPIs for an Initiative ( in this customer they use a Initiative as a lower level of the Objective )
       ( in SSM a Initiative is associated only with one KPI if necessary )
   As we can see the itens 1 and 3 I see a limitation to adopt in SSM cause SSM does not provide a n for n relationship ( Multiple KPIs for One Perspective and
     Multiples KPIs for a same Initiative )
   Does somebody knows how can I solve this kind of SAP SSM tool limitation ?
   Regards,
      Alfred

Alfred,
Index KPIs is going to be the solution for each of these questions.
1) Multiple KPIs for ONE Perspective ( in SSM the maximum that we have it is a Perpective related to one KPI )
SSM is set up in a hierarchical structure, so that the assumption is that KPIs drive Objectives and Objectives drive the status of the Perspectives. If you have multiple KPIs that are going to drive the status of a Perspective, you would have to create an INDEX KPI in Set KPIs. Then you can assign that KPI as the status driver for your Perspective.
2) Multiple KPIs for an Objective ( Ok, SSM is OKJ in this point )
Index KPIs need to be created.
3) Multiple KPIs for an Initiative ( in this customer they use a Initiative as a lower level of the Objective )
Initiatives are set to be tied to Perspectives and Objectives and you have the option of setting a Status for that Initiative based on a KPI. Again, you can create an Index KPI if you need multiple KPIs to drive the status of an Initiative
The reason that you have to create these in Set KPIs and then assign that Index KPI to Perspectives and Initiatives is that you need to use that Set KPIs area to set and define the relationships and relative values of the combined KPIs.

Bob

How to find multiple transport requests for one object

Hi all,
Is there any function module which will fetches multiple transport requests ( if created ) for one object.I tried almost all the function modules , but i didn't got the solution.
I need to develop a report ,   which will takes a single Task number as input and gets the Request number from table E070.
Based on that Request Number i will fetch remaining Task numbers under it.
Then for all the Tasks Numbers, i am fetching their objects by using table E071.
I need to list out whether any of these objects are in multiple Transport Requests. Once i got all the Transport Request numbers i need to release the Request based on their Transport Request sequence.
I tried the following FM's , but not able to get the solution.
SVRS_DISPLAY_VERSION_LIST
SVRS_GET_VERSION_DIRECTORY_46

Using multiple instance variables or BPM objects in a single JSP

In my screenflow, for an user activity, I've selected a BPM object variable for my JSP and using this BPM object variable within the JSP to display or accept values related to this BPM object.
But in certain circumstances, I need access to some of the instance variables defined in my screenflow (which are not members of the BPM object), and to get these variable values displayed in my JSP. I don't want to overload my BPM object with all these instances as they do not logically fit as members in this BPM object.
For example, if I need to capture and display the logged in user name across the JSPs in my web application, then how can I do that without specifying this user variable in all of my BPM objects.
Is there any extensibility in using more than one BPM object variables in my JSPs? Why is it that a single BPM object variable is tied to a JSP? Or am I missing something else here?

I'm with the same problem!

Dependency between projects for presentations, BPM objects and external res

Hi,
I am trying to create a common project for all our exceptions, presentations and external resources...
I have updated the properties of the project1 for dependeny on project2(exceptions project)
but I am not able to see the user exception BPM Objects in the depended project to use...
Project 1 is having all code that needs to call the BPM objects, presentations and external resources on the Project 2
but these objects and presentations etc., are not visible to the project1.
please advice if I need to do anything in relation to configs apart from making the Project 1 properties to dependency --> check box ticked and selecting the Project 2.
thanks
Satya

When you use the project dependency feature, you do not see the BPM Objects in the Catalog. You see them (shown in blue) when you add variables in the process that refer to BPM Objects from the master project. You see them when you create a new attribute in your BPM object that is an BPM Object in the master project. You see them when you use them in logic inside your methods.

Multiple advertizers for object

I've a BC4J Dacf application with a base frame calling other frames wich contains each one it's own session.
When I call a "child" frame all is OK, when I recall it a second time (closing or not the previois one) I get an "multiple advertizer for object" error.
I close the child frame with a setVisible(false) instruction in the processWindowEvent.
Any suggestion ?
TIA
Tullio

I've had the same problem here too.
I've been trying various work-arounds for
the problem, but I have not been successful.
I tried to put in a flag so that I only
call publishRowSet() the first time I
define an object, but I've found that this
only causes another problem, saying that
the rowset has not been opened for these.
I never had this problem until I upgraded
to JDeveloper 3.2.3.
Anybody have any ideas for this one?

Multiple index entries for single object.

Hi,
Can someone guide me whether coherence allows multiple keys to be inserted in an index for given record(value)? I mean I will insert a single 'value' in the cache and multiple keys for it in the index, and I should be able to search that 'value' using ANY one key (not the combination of keys). I mean the search should use the index and hence should be fast. (Similar to lucene where it will tokenize the specified text and add individual tokens to the index so that you can locate given document using any single token).
Bharat

Hi Bharat,
Hopefully I am understanding your question correctly.
Adding an index allows Coherence to correlate attributes of values stored in a cache to the corresponding keys in the cache which can result in an increase in the performance of keySet and entrySet methods. This mechanism does not give you an alternate key to use with the get method.
cheers,
-David
