Templated predefined theme and JavaBean MapViewer API

Question

Hello,
i have problems using a templated predefined theme and the JavaBean Mapviewer API.
I defined a theme with a styling rule:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<styling_rules>
  <rule>
    <features style="MYSTYLE">id in ( select column_value from table(:1))</features>
  </rule>
</styling_rules>When i use the javascript api i can provide the parameter to my Foi using a MVArrayParameter :
var myparams = "\"aaa\",\"bbb\"";
var myArrayPar = new MVArrayParameter(myparams,'sarray','id_list');
myFoi.setQueryParameters(myArrayPar);id_list is a table of varchar2(64).
This works fine in OracleMaps, but i have troubles to get this working with the JavaBean API.
String[] sArr = new String[2];
sArr[0] = "aaa";
sArr[1] = "bbb";
mv.addPredefinedTheme(themeName);
mv.setPredefinedThemeParameters(themeName,sArr);
...This results in a theme node with two parameter nodes in the xml map_request:
<theme name="MYTHEME">
  <binding_parameters>
    <parameter value="aaa" type="String"/>
    <parameter value="bbb" type="String"/>
  </binding_parameters>
</theme>
...But the output does not include the theme. Instead i get this error message:
2007-12-20 09:14:36.081 ERROR *** Exception while querying theme: MYTHEME
2007-12-20 09:14:36.081 ERROR Exception fetching data for theme MYTHEME.How can i solve this problem?
Thanks for help in advance,
Dirk

Hi Dirk,
your type in this case is 'id_list' and the XML should be something like:
<theme name="MYTHEME">
  <binding_parameters>
    <parameter value="aaa,bbb" type="id_list"/>
  </binding_parameters>
</theme>
...However, if you are using version 10.1.3.1 (sending a direct XML request or using the API) it does not support this binding_parameter with a custom type. With version 11 preview that we posted recently, you should be able to send a direct xml request using the example above, but it seems that using the API, you will not be able to get the correct XML. We will check that.
