Not able to retrieve and insert the value to Home_country filed in MDM

Question

Hi All,
I am new to the JAVA API,
I have creted one application in webdynpro using the JAVA API. I am able to search the data based on "Firstname" "Lastname" and "Email address".
I need to basically two functionalities
1) Search
2) Insertion of new records
*1) Search*__
But searching based on the Country is not able to do it.
we have two tables .
1) Country table> Contains all the list of the country codes and County name.
2) People table > Contains the country filed. So for this filed lookup table is country. also this country filed is drop down  not have opton edit in the MDM.
I am sending the following used for searching the records based on the First Name and country.
But based on the first name it is working fine but Country it is giving some code like "R100" "R12". It is not givng the actual name of the country.
FieldSearchDimension sd1 = new FieldSearchDimension(fields[2].getId());
               TextSearchConstraint sc1 = new TextSearchConstraint(First_Name,TextSearchConstraint.EQUALS);
               sch.addSearchItem(sd1,sc1);          
FieldSearchDimension sd4 = new FieldSearchDimension(fields[9].getId());
               TextSearchConstraint sc4 = new TextSearchConstraint(Home_Country,TextSearchConstraint.EQUALS);
//               TextSearchConstraint sc4 = new TextSearchConstraint("IN",TextSearchConstraint.EQUALS);
               sch.addSearchItem(sd4,sc4);
cmd = new RetrieveLimitedRecordsCommand(connections);
               cmd.setResultDefinition(rdPeople);
               cmd.setSearch(sch);
               cmd.setSession(sessionId);
try
                    cmd.execute();
                    catch(CommandException e)
                         e.printStackTrace();
                    recs = cmd.getRecords();
                    wdContext.nodeResult_Table().invalidate();
//retreiving the Data from the resultset
if(recs.getCount()!=0)
  for(int i=0;i<recs.getCount();i++)
       //First Name
     IResult_TableElement resEle=wdContext.nodeResult_Table().createResult_TableElement();
     if(!(recs.getRecord(i).getFieldValue(fields[0].getId()).isNull()))
     //wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Network Id-->"+recs.getRecord(i).getFieldValue(fields[0].getId()).toString());
     resEle.setNetwork_ID(recs.getRecord(i).getFieldValue(fields[0].getId()).toString());
       //Country
      if(!(recs.getRecord(i).getFieldValue(fields[9].getId()).isNull()))
     resEle.setDisplay_Name(recs.getRecord(i).getFieldValue(fields[9].getId()).toString());
     wdContext.nodeResult_Table().addElement(i,resEle);
By the above field is not giving the respective country name is avilable. it is giving some value"R100" rather giving of India.
_ 2)  For creating the record in the  "people" table._
I am able to insert the data all the information "firstname" "Last name", "email" except "Country" entered by the user by using the following code.
//Insert
First_Name=wdContext.currentPersonal_DetailsElement().getAttributeAsText("First_Name");
     Last_Name=wdContext.currentPersonal_DetailsElement().getAttributeAsText("Last_Name");
     Middle_Name_or_Initial=wdContext.currentPersonal_DetailsElement().getAttributeAsText("Middle_Name_or_Initial");
     Home_Country=wdContext.currentPersonal_DetailsElement().getAttributeAsText("Home_Country");
CreateRecordCommand createRecordCommand =new CreateRecordCommand(connections);
     Record r1 = RecordFactory.createEmptyRecord(tables[0].getId());     
     try
//               Retrieve Lookup Field Properties, when Field Properties is given as input.
//           LookupFieldProperties lookupField = (LookupFieldProperties) fields[9];          
////     Retrieve Lookup Field Properties, when Field Properties is given as input.
//           LookupFieldProperties lookupFieldSer = (LookupFieldProperties) fieldProp;
//          //setting the values for firstname and lastname
        r1.setFieldValue(fields[0].getId(),new StringValue(Network_ID));
        r1.setFieldValue(fields[2].getId(),new StringValue(First_Name));
        r1.setFieldValue(fields[3].getId(),new StringValue(Last_Name));
r1.serFieldValue(FieldValue(fields[9].getId(), new Stringvalue(Home_country));
        createRecordCommand.setSession(sessionId);
        createRecordCommand.setRecord(r1);
     try {
          createRecordCommand.execute();
      } catch (CommandException e2) {
Let me know what are the changes need to be done for inserting the country information in people table.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for the reply,
Actually,I  was doing the same thing what  you suggested. I am sending the piece of code . Can look it it .Is any thing wrong.
          //inserting the Country lookup filed to record object.
*       if(Home_Country.length()!=0)*
*     /when pass the int position number for the country by retreiving from the country table it is working fine. But we      cannot depend on position. Because People table internally refering the other db table while inserting the country      filed in the People table./     *
*          r1.setFieldValue(fields[9].getId(),new LookupValue(new RecordId(12)));*
*     //When i PAss the String to the following function i am getting the unsupportedFormat Exception          *
*          r1.setFieldValue(fields[9].getId(),new LookupValue(new RecordId("Australia")));*
InCountry . They have defined only two columns called.
1) ISO-2 Code
2) Country Name.
Sample data
ISO-2 Code  |   Country Name
US                    United StatesOf America
AU                    Australia
Ar                     Argentina
Like the above data we have 250 country names
So , I displaying all the country list in my interface and holding in the Array.
Ex: When the user chooses the Australia.  When I pass directly as an "Australia" to
r1.setFieldValue(fields[9].getId(),new LookupValue(new RecordId("Australia"))).  it is giving me error.
Then i try to pass the postion of the"Australia" in country table. Like if the Austrila is an 2 record. I am looping through my array and find the record position as "2".
I am passing as
r1.setFieldValue(fields[9].getId(),new LookupValue(new RecordId(2)));
It is inserting into the people database. But not an Australia. It is inserting as "Argentina".
When the record inserting in people table refering some table at the database level , that table called "A2i_16_TEXT" This contains three columns.
A2i_16_TEXT(columns)
1) Id
2) LangId
2) Field Id
4) TextField
Example Data
Id  |  LangId  |  Textfield
3       0            Australia
2       0            Argentina
4       0            United States Of America
As i am showing the above table for "Argentina" Id is "2". When i pass the 2 for inserting the country filed.Instead of inserting "Australia". It is inserting the "Argentina" by refering this table.
Through MDM API we are not able to access this " A2i_16_TEXT"  table. Because it is maintaining at the db level to find the perticular id for the respective country before inserting in to the people table.
So kindly suggest me how to solve this problem. What i am doing in the code is correct or not.
Regards
Vijay
