JR49853: ERROR:"TYPE MISMATCH" WHEN RUN A JAVA INTEGRATION.

Version 8.5 Refresh Pack 5 for the IBM Business Process Manager products
Version 8.5.0 Fix Pack 2 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Scenario:
  
  1. Create a PA with a BPD.
  2. Add a private variable to the BPD and set its type to
  NameValuePair (needs to be a complex object in a toolkit)
  3. Check the Has Default checkbox and notice that the simple
  table editor underneath is populated (do not touch any of the
  fields in the table).
  4. Go to File > Preferences ... > IBM BPM > Capabilities and
  check IBM BPM Advanced Features
  5. Observe that the simple table editor disappears and an
  advanced script editor is in its place
  6. Verify that the script generated has the following first
  line:
  var autoObject = new tw.object.toolkit.TWSYS.NameValuePair();
  7. Repeat step 4 but this time uncheck the advanced features.
  8. Observe that the advance script editor disappears and the
  simple table editor appears (might need to close the BPD editor
  and reopen it for this to actually happen - most likely a
  separate defect).
  9. Edit a single field (ie. name) in the table editor and click
  off of it.
  10. Repeat step 4 to view the advanced editor again.
  11. Observe that the script generated has the following first
  line:
  var autoObject = new tw.object.NameValuePair();
  
  Expected result: The first line in step 11 should be the same as
  step 6.
  
  Actual result: Error "Type mismatch" is displayed to the end
  user, in browser.
  

Local fix

• 1. In Process Designer, open the Preferences, via File >
  Preferences and navigate to IBM BPM > Capabilities > IBM BPM
  Advanced Features. Select the check box beside this Capability
  to enable it. Press Ok on Preference dialog.
  2. Open the Integration service in question, and navigate to the
  problematic Variable, and select it.
  3. Deselect "Has Default", and reselect it.
  
  Result: Consider a Business object named MyObject which exists
  in the Process app as well as in a depended on Toolkit, with
  acronym MYTLKIT. Once the Advanced capability is enabled to
  reveal the Javascript in the "Has Default" edit area, it can
  be observed that performing the above steps will change the
  first line from,
  
  var autoObject = new tw.object.MyObject
  
  to
  
  var autoObject = new tw.object.MYTLKIT.MyObject
