[Building Sakai] ResourcePropertiesEdit.addPropertyToList

[Brian Jones]

Hi everyone,

Is anyone out there making use of the addPropertyToList() method of the
ResourcePropertiesEdit class? I've used addProperty() numerous times in the
past without difficulties. For some reason, when we go to save a site after
using the addPropertyToList() method it throws an NPE, but I'm not sure why.

Ex.:

ResourcePropertiesEdit props = site.getPropertiesEdit();
props.addPropertyToList( propName, propValue1 );
props.addPropertyToList( propName, propValue2 );
SiteService.save( site ); // throws NPE

If we comment out the props.addPropertyToList calls, everything works fine.
If we inspect the props object in the debugger, we can see that the property
(propName) does make it inside the object, and the value is as expected
([propValue1, propValue2]).

Are we missing something? Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,

On 5.1 at least you need the update for existing values, the default will

Are you testing any of these statements?!  I tested on 5.1 and again found
the alter table statement does set the default.
