sdavidow9 Illegal Assignement from Void to String
Hi, I'm following an example I found:
http://sfdc.arrowpointe.com/2009/01/08/invoke-apex-from-a-custom-button-using-a-visualforce-page/
To invoke apex from a button on a page. What I'm doing is a deep clone of a custom object (cloning related lists as well). The cloning is working, but I can't seem to get the system to return the user to the NEWLY cloned record. I get the error here:
theClonedId = IC_util.DeepCloneClass(c);
Okay, so the quick code is that on my vf page I have a loop (I've taken out comments and debug log calls to shorten this):
for (SFDC_CLass__c c:[select
id, name from SFDC_Class__c where id =:theId]) {
theClonedId = IC_util.DeepCloneClass(c);
}
All I want to do here is call my IC_util.DeepCloneClass routine. That's actually working. It SHOULD return a string:
public static string DeepCloneClass(Class__c c) {
try {
List<Attendance__c> attendList = [select id, contact__c from Attendance__c where class__c = :c.id];//'a0A60000002d5Ip'
Class__c newClass = new Class__c(name=c.Name + ' - clone');
insert newClass;
for(Attendance__c a :attendList) {
insert new Attendance__c[]{new Attendance__c(contact__c=a.contact__c, class__c=newClass.Id)};
}//end for
return newClass.Id;
} //end try
Any help would be great.
So I resolved the issue by removing the IC_util class and moving the actual code routine into my page extention class. I'm not really sure why this should change anything.
The sfdc_class__c vs. class__c has to do with - man, blanking on what it's called - how it is packaged. I really don't know why sometimes I need sfdc_ and sometimes need to NOT have it (it was really a trial and error thing).
So it has something to do with going to an outside class, and your point of having sfdc_ preface may be causing the issue. Right now I'm solving the issue by putting my routine within the same function. Yeah, not something I can reuse and probably not the best coding practice, but working at this point.

What happens if you remove the "try {" wrapper around your clone method? I'm suspicious of that because it appears to not serve any function (unless you left off a catch block at the end of the method).
Also, probably an editing error, but your caller is dealing with an object called "SFDC_Class__c" and your callee is dealing with an object called "Class__c". I'm assuming you edited these for posting here, obviously they need to have the same type on both sides.
