PK84447: CONTENT.GETID() RETURNS JCR UUID RANDOMLY

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• content.getID() returns JCR UUID randomly
  
  <IDCmpnt context="current" type="content" field="name"/>
  randomly
  prints JCR ID instead of WCM contentID.
  com.ibm.workplace.wcm.api.
  Content.getId() is also returning JCR UUID.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• content.getId() and content.getId().getName() return the UUID as
  the content name after syndication
  .
  Under certain circumstances when content is syndicated to the
  subscriber it is first created/stored using the UUID instead of
  the name.  Content items are then renamed later in the
  syndication process.  These renamed content items may return the
  UUID for the items name when using content.getId() and
  content.getId().getName()
  STEPS:
  1) Customer created content with custom coded UI that created
  the content as follows:
       When content is being updated (let's say content name is
  "content1"),
       New draft is created ("content2").
       Then old content is renamed to "content1temp"
       New draft is renamed to "content1" and published.
       Then "content1temp" is archived.
  2) When this data is syndicated it is given the UUID as its name
  upon initial syndication.  At this stage the UUID is the name of
  the content.

  .
  3) Later the content is renamed to the appropriate name
  "content1" but the rename method does not remove the item from
  the cache if it is cached and therefore the .

  draft=false
  

Problem conclusion

• Under certain circumstances when content is syndicated to the
  subscriber it is first created/stored using the UUID instead of
  the name.  If the item is cached prior to the rename it is
  cached with the UUID as the name and API methods like
  content.getId() and content.getId().getName() will return the
  UUID as the name.

  Setting 'ibmcontentwcm:name' = 017478004d9ca78fa92ce9c0e26b6f9c
  Later the content is renamed to the correct name but the cache
  is not cleared therefore content.getId() and
  content.getId().getName() continue to return the UUID as the
  items name.
  .
  This fix results in the cache being cleared when the content is
  renamed.
