Sharon,
Thank you for the fast response. Your solution worked great. I already
had code to test the result but I never looked at result.result.
We did plan to develop a GUI and Namespace file writer to allow a user
to set up a test and ensure reliability of the Namespace files. But
priorities have not yet permitted its development. So I have a number
of users who must manually edit XML files. Guess what: they sometimes
make mistakes.
We have made a change to the Namespace Service source code that I would
like to give back. The change adds the passing of optional arguments.
If the PARMS keyword is present, then the first argument after PARMS is
the absolute path to the location of the xml file and the second
argument is the file name with extension. If the PARMS keyword is not
present, then the Namespace service operates as it does now. This
allows us to use n Namespace services that utilize n files of different
names in a single directory, which simplifies our configuration
management. I'm currently getting approval from someone who will have
to sign the Statement of Origin. The change affected 2 Java files. A
quick look at the SourceForge site (referenced on the STAF web site)
makes me wonder how I would fill out the Category and Group fields.
Is the patch file procedure for submitting changes still current? If
not, then tell me how.
Eric

Eric,
When registering the Namespace service dynamically via a STAF
SERVICE ADD request, if an error occurs you should get a non-zero return
code and the result string contains any additional information provided.
So, check these when you get an error. For example, if you are
registering the Namespace service via a request submitted via a Java
program, you could print out result.rc and result.result if an error
occurred as follows:
STAFHandle handle = new STAFHandle("MyApplication");
String machine = "local";
String service = "SERVICE";
String namespaceServiceName = "Namespace";
String request = "ADD SERVICE " + namespaceServiceName +
" LIBRARY JSTAF EXECUTE
{STAF/Config/STAFRoot}/services/namespace/Namespace.jar";
STAFResult result = handle.submit2(machine, service, request);
if (result.rc != STAFResult.Ok)
{
System.out.println(
"ERROR: STAF " + machine + " " + service + " " +
request +
" failed. RC: " + result.rc + ", Result: " +
result.result);
}
Note that you shouldn't have any errors in the Namespaces.xml
file though if you're using the NAMESPACE service's SET VAR request to
set variables in a namespace.

[staf-users] Namespace error display
When a Namespace service is created as part of STAF startup
(i.e. the Namespace service is created within the STAF.cfg file), and
there is an error in the Namespaces.xml file, then error information is
printed in the "terminal" window showing the line where the error was
detected, which is quite helpful. The application we've written makes
heavy use of the Namespace service and we commonly use 5 Namespace
services in a test run.
I recently changed our code to create the Namespace services
dynamically rather than in the STAF.cfg file, and this is working fine.
Is there a way to get the error information, if any, when creating the
service in this way? We are using Windows (XP and Server 2Kx) and STAF
3.3.3 without STAX.
Thanks,
Eric
