Hello Team,

Is it possible to change or get reference.getReferencedElement(); as Listable<IDProvider> as per below code.?? Is there any option available in fs-acccess api?

if (deploymentType !=null && deploymentType.equals("hotdeployment")) {

for(IDProvider node:generationTask.getStartNodes()){         

_context.logInfo(node.getUid());

Listable<IDProvider> pageRef = getChildElements(node);

for (IDProvider idProvider : pageRef) {

ReferenceEntry[] references =  idProvider.getIncomingReferences();

for (ReferenceEntry reference : references) {

if(reference.getType() == ReferenceEntry.MEDIA_STORE_REFERENCE) {

IDProvider _mediaRef = reference.getReferencedElement();  ------- Is it possible to get it as Listable<IDProvider> ------

IDProviderList.add(_mediaRef);                                    

}

}                       

}

}

}

I would like to get the referenceElement as Listable<IDProvider> ??

Thank you.

Hi Siva,

why would you like to get a single element as listable?

The API reference says:

getReferencedElement

Returns:

The referenced node or null.

Since:

4.0

So for each reference entry there is always exactly one referenced element. (Or null will be returned in the case of a broken reference etc. See API documentation.)

From my point of view it does not make any sense to hold a single value in a listable. Also i cannot find the data type IDProviderList as part of the public API. (At least I cannot find it in the API documentation.)
So the only thing you want to do is, to put all referenced elements into a list, just use a standard java list.

List<IDProvider> idProviderList = new ArrayList<>();

idProviderList.add(_mediaRef )

Hi @all,

thanks for your helpful answer Sandro. We tend to ask the same question - why should a single object be returned as a list? The usage of an abstraction over our API (like you already did) seems to be the right tool here.

Hello Sandro,

Thank you for your time and reply for my post.

Finally i have modified my code like below to get the things,

for (ReferenceEntry entry : outgoingReferences) {

                     Object referenceElement = entry.getReferencedElement();

                     //_context.logInfo(referenceElement.getClass().getName());

                     if (referenceElement instanceof Media && ((Media) referenceElement).isInReleaseStore() && ((Media) referenceElement).isReleased()) {

                         IDProvider _mediaRef = (IDProvider)referenceElement;

                         _context.logInfo("_mediaRef Name:"+_mediaRef.getName());

                         IDProviderList.add(_mediaRef);

                         _context.logInfo("IDProviderList add..."+_mediaRef);

               }

             }

I am getting the media and page reference names while doing the Hotdeployment via Project file menu selection.

Thank you
