JR58393: A LIST OF COMPLEX BUSINESS OBJECTS WITH ANY TYPE LOSES DATA

bpm.8600.cf2017.12.delta.repository

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If one complex variable has another list of complex business
  objects in it as a child property and the variable is set to a
  configuration option of a coach view, it passes only the simple
  type of attributes and not the child list of complex object.
  
  For example, consider a list of type ExampleType:
  
  ExampleType is defined with these properties:
  - name (String)
  - group (String)
  - attributes (list of ExampleAttributeType)
  
  ExampleAttributeType is defined with these properties:
  - Key (String)
  - Value (Any)

Local fix

Problem summary

• This error occurs if, when a variable of type ExampleType is set
  to a configuration option of the same type, only "name" and
  "group" are set but not "attributes" where ExampleAttributeType
  contains a property of ANY type ("Value").
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix that correctly handles parameters of complex types
  including ANY with actual content of primitive type or list of
  primitive type will be available in a future release of IBM BPM.
  

Temporary fix
