Hi Everyone,

I've got these code:

store = context.project.userService.getStore(Store.Type.CONTENTSTORE, false);

serviceDB = store.getContent2ByName("service");

store.setLock(true, false);

session = serviceDB.schema.session;

services = session.executeQuery( session.createSelect(serviceDB.entityType.name) );

for (service : services){

  serviceID = service.getValue("id");

  name = service.getValue("name");

  globalContent = service.getValue("global_content");

  context.logInfo("Service id: " + serviceID);

  context.logInfo("Service GC id: " + globalContent);

}

// End for

store.setLock(false, false);

I receive "globalContent" as a String (something like this "<CMS_VALUE name="dt_global_content" tag="FS_REFERENCE"><LANG id="§" set="1"><UID>0505_UID</UID><UIDTYPE>PAGESTORE</UIDTYPE><REMOTE></REMOTE></LANG></CMS_VALUE>"), how can I use this to get the real Page with that UID?

Thank you!!!

Hi Javier,

first, it is recommended to use the StoreElementAgent (DEV API) to get objects - using UserService is "the old way" (but not deprecated).

So you should get the Content2 node like this:

StoreElementAgent storeElementAgent = context.requireSpecialist(StoreElementAgent.TYPE);
Content2 serviceDB = (Content2) storeElementAgent.loadStoreElement("service", Content2.UID_TYPE, false);

When working with database entries, you should always "switch up" one abstraction layer. This means using Datasets instead of Entities. Unfortunately, a query returns a List of "low level data" entities, so you have to request a corresponding Dataset. As the column "global_content" maps to a FS_REFERENCE, you can then directly access the iinput component value which is a TargetReference in this case.

For this, you will also have to provide the name of the input component (in the TableTemplate) that maps to the column "global_content", for example "tt_globalContent" (you'll have to adjust that to your situation).

String globalContentFieldName = "tt_globalContent";
for (service : services){
  Dataset serviceDataset = serviceDB.getDataset(service);
  TargetReference targetReference = (TargetReference) serviceDataset.getFormData().get(null, globalContentFieldName).get();
  //and here is your page:
  Page page = (Page) targetReference.get();
}

Hope this helps.

Hello Javier,
