Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Any administrator of processes that use * * simple business objects as part of task * * data. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The Web Inspector REST Facade does * * not correctly handle variables where * * the type has simply been aliased * * (i.e. a custom BO created with a * * simple type, e.g. Date). It only * * handles primitive types and complex * * type variables properly. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** A variable has two different "types" - there is a type name, as well as an actual type. For example, the customer's type in this scenario was "Wirksamkeit", whereas the actual type was "date". The code was incorrectly using the type name to determine type information, which works properly for primitive types like Strings, Integers, etc., but will not handle this case. The code made the assumption that anything that's not a primitive type should just be parsed as JSON and returned to the browser, but this assumption only holds if the actual type is "object" (e.g. the variable is a complex type).
Problem conclusion
Code was added to make the actual type name available to the affected method (as String, which is used for stringifying variables based on their input type) in the code. We also added fallback code to catch parser errors and instead fall back to stringifying the variable. For install/uninstall instructions, please download the README file along with the JR44978 ifix file from Fix Central.
