Dictionary Id 0 (zero) vs 1 (one)
I load local file field dictionary, latest and greatest. Dictionary file looks like this in the header:
... ! Copyright Thomson Reuters 2017 ! !tag Filename RWF.DAT !tag Desc RDF-D RWF field set !tag Type 1 !tag Version 4.20.30 !tag Build 006 !tag Date 19-Oct-2017 !tag DictionaryId 1 ! ...
(note the 'DictionaryId' tag)
With this I would expect FieldDictionary#getDictId() to return 1 after a successful load. But it doesn't!!
Here's a minimal example:
public class DictIdCheck {
public static void main(String[] args) {
FieldDictionary fDict = FieldDictionary.create();
System.out.println("Dictionary Id, before load (getDictId()) : " + fDict.getDictId());
FieldDictionary.readRDMFieldDictionary(fDict, args[0]);
FieldDictionary.readEnumTypeDef(fDict, args[1]);
System.out.println("Dictionary Id, after load (getDictId()) : " + fDict.getDictId());
System.out.println("Dictionary Id (property 'DictionaryId') : " + fDict.getFieldProperty("DictionaryId"));
}
}
which returns:
Dictionary Id, before load (getDictId()) : 0 Dictionary Id, after load (getDictId()) : 0 Dictionary Id (property 'DictionaryId') : 1
I'm using RFA Java 8.1.0.L1 (latest and greatest)
Is this behavior intentional or is it a bug ?
Hello @Lars-at-Addicticks
The RFA Java 8.1.2.L1 package includes a fix of this issue.
You can download the package from Downloads of Robust Foundation API (RFA) · Java .
Hello @Lars-at-Addicticks
Based on my test, it seems that FieldDictionary.getDictId() in RFA Java returns the value from a tag named "Id" not "DictionaryId" . My dictionary file added !tag Id 2:
!tag Filename RWF.DAT !tag Desc RDF-D RWF field set !tag Type 1 !tag Version 4.20.28 !tag Build 001 !tag Date 02-Feb-2017 !tag DictionaryId 1 !tag Id 2
The output from running your given source code and the input is my dictionary file:
Dictionary Id, before load (getDictId()) : 0 Dictionary Id, after load (getDictId()) : 2 Dictionary Id (property 'DictionaryId') : 1
It is possible that this is RFA Java bug because RFA C++ returns DictionaryId's value using a similar method.
This problem is needed to be investigated in depth to confirm if this is RFA Java bug or not from the development team. Hence, I have created a new case on behalf of you. It is case 06159302. Once I get any response from the development team, I will let you know via the email case 06159302.
