Re: [Ganymede Help] setting a field value...

[Jonathan Abbey <jonabbey@arlut.utexas.edu>]

Oops, I made a typo.

	if (field.getID() == OWNER)
	    { 
	      System.out.println("I am here "); 
	      strField = (StringDBField) getField(ROOMNUMBER);
	      retVal = strField.setValueLocal("Value set");
	
	      if (retVal != null && !retVal.didSucceed())
	        {
	          System.out.println("Error setting ROOMNUMBER field!");
	          System.out.println(retVal.getDialogText());
	        }
	      else
	        {
	          retVal = new retVal(true, true);  // indicate success
                           this ^^^^^

should be
	          retVal = new ReturnVal(true, true);  // indicate success
                               ^^^^^^^^^ this

	          retVal.addRescanField(this.getInvid(), ROOMNUMBER);
	        }
	
	      System.out.println("I am now here");
	
	      // pass back a successful ReturnVal with a rescanField instruction
	      // if we succeeded in setting ROOMNUMBER, else return back the
	      // error condition that prevented the setValueLocal() call from
	      // completing
	
	      return retVal; 
	    }
	
	  return null; // if we weren't changing the OWNER field, always approve
	}

Sorry about that.
