APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The WCM API DocumentId.getName() method can return NULL if some
  cases... One case where this can happen is if the 'Content By
  Title' view is loaded in the WCM Authoring UI, then the
  Workspace.findByPath method is called passing in a path from one
  of the objects that was shown in the 'Content By Title' view
  

Local fix

• Call Workspace.getById and then retrieve the 'Name' property
  from the returned object
  

Problem summary

• The WCM API DocumentId.getName() method can return NULL if some
  cases... One case where this can happen is if the 'Content By
  Title' view is loaded in the WCM Authoring UI, then the
  Workspace.findByPath method is called passing in a path from one
  of the objects that was shown in the 'Content By Title' view
  

Problem conclusion

• Analysis: The list of 'mandatory' properties to return when
  performing JCR queries with optional property retrieval did not
  include the 'ibmcontentwcm:name' property
  Solution: 'ibmcontentwcm:name' was added to the list of
  mandatory properties and the tracing within the
  ObjectSummaryTransformer class was modified to make it easier to
  detect similar errors in the future
  

Temporary fix
