getting this error "record id cannot be empty key", while inserting a Case using VF.

Hi All, 

getting this error "record id cannot be empty key", while inserting a Case using VF.

I Have a created a VF page with StandardSetController means RecordSetVar="true". Standard Controller ="Case"
I have used in StandardSetController in Extensions Controller.
  cas=(Case)controller.getRecord();
 cas.RecordTypeID=rtID;
        cas.OwnerID=UserInfo.getUserID();    
      
and i have overrieded Save Method and below 

public PageReference Save()
    {
   
        try{
      // Case c=new Case();
       c1=cas;
            insert c1;
            return New PageReference('/'+cas.id);
        }
        catch(Exception e){
            ApexPages.addMessages(e);
        }
        return null;
    }

while inserting a Case i am getting "record id cannot be empty key",  error
In the ViewState, i found Case id is having 00000000000 

Can anyone know about this, help me out.

Thanks

Hi Nidihi,

You have used incoorect contoller you should you StandardController in vf . StandardSetController is used to dislay list of records. 

Below are the links to find difference between standard controller and standardsetcontroller.

Hi Srini,

      controller.getRecord() method will return sObject that represents the changes to the selected records.
      Case cas;
     //get record type id by recordtype label
        Id rtID=Schema.SObjectType.Contact.getRecordTypeInfosByName().get('RecordType label').getRecordTypeId();
        cas=(Case)controller.getRecord();
        cas.RecordTypeID=rtID;
        cas.OwnerID=UserInfo.getUserID();    


public PageReference Save()
    {
   
        try{
      
            if(cas!=null)
            {
            insert cas;
            }
            return New PageReference('/'+cas.id);
        }
        catch(Exception e){
            ApexPages.addMessages(e);
        }
        return null;
    }

    Please let me know if it helps you.
    
    Best Regards,
