Wat is the datatype of the amount field (opportunity) ??
Hello,
I'm trying to insert an opportunity via the API. The amount field has a double data type. In my code I have a double variable with the value 1000, just like this:
double a=1000;
When I excute the insert call with the parameter above, I get this error:
XMLException: helma.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: Value 1000.0 not of required type double on field amountcode: 1212
I don't why, my parameter "a" has the right data type, so why is my code not working ??

Hi sfDeveloper,
Can you post the xml-rpc request? Need to see how you xml-rpc client is serializing the request.
Hi Dave,
Hier is my xmlrpc request:
public void insertOpportunityInSalesforce()
{
param.put("version",version);
param.put("type","opportunity");
param.put("operation","insert");
Hashtable fields=new Hashtable();
fields.put("name","Super zomeractie 2003");
// 00N30000000cEhN is my own ctreated filed
fields.put("00N30000000cEhN","304.03.1052");
fields.put("accountID","00130000000c4It");
fields.put("stage", "Prospecting");
//fields.put("probability", "50");
java.util.Date datum= new java.util.Date();
fields.put("closeDatecode", datum);
int amount=1000;
fields.put("amount", String.valueOf(amount));
Hashtable insertRecord = new Hashtable();
Enumeration enu = fields.keys();
while(enu.hasMoreElements())
{
String key=(String)enu.nextElement();
insertRecord.put(key, fields.get(key));
}
param.put("record",insertRecord);
Vector params=new Vector();
params.add(param);
Hashtable result = null;
try
{
//Execute the query call using the parameters built above
this.rpcClient.setSessionId(this.sessionId);
result = (Hashtable) this.rpcClient.execute("sfdc.insert", params);
this.setSfInsertSuceed(true);
}
catch (XmlRpcException ex)
{
printMsg("XMLException: " + ex.toString() + "code: " + ex.code);
ex.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
printMsg("Exception: " + ex.toString());
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}// end insertoppertunity
Hi Dave,
I just posted the wrong code. The following code is the right one.
Thank you,

Hi sfDeveloper,
For the xml-rpc request what I meant was the message that is sent over the wire, not the java function that builds the request.
Typically, the xml-rpc determines the java type of the value it is going to serialize and builds the xml tag based on that. So, instead of int amount = 1000; using double x = 1000.0;. Don't know if this will solve the problem, but it is worth a try.
Hello DevAngel,
I tried (double amount=100.0) before, but it still not working. The same error:
XMLException: helma.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: Value 1000.0 not of required type double on field amountcode: 1212
Is there any other reason why my code doesn't work.

Hi pl,
I tried java.lang.Double as type. it's still not working
.. Do any body has other solution ??

Hi sfDeveloper,
Please post the xml-rpc message that is failing.
Hello Dave,
I've resolved the problem. And by the way I use the helma.xmlrpc.jar. I don't have any source.
So thank you any way.
