How to load an Ioo file?

srini

I have an ioo file that was generated by UI. I am trying to load that repo programmatically. When I try to load, I am getting NullPointerException. However when I try to load the sample data, it is able to retrieve. What is it that I am doing wrong?

Below is the sample code.

RepositoryLocation pLoc = null;
        try {
            pLoc = new RepositoryLocation("//NewLocalRepository//Hypo");
        } catch (MalformedRepositoryLocationException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }

        IOObjectEntry entry = (IOObjectEntry) pLoc.locateEntry();
        IOObject myIOObject = entry.retrieveData(null);
        IOContainer ioInput = new IOContainer(new IOObject[]{myIOObject});
        ExampleSet examples = ioInput.get(ExampleSet.class);

Hi,

sorry I somehow missed the question..
The problem is that

pLoc.locateEntry();

returns null when the entry could not be found. In your case the entry could not be found because you have too many '/' in the RepositoryLocation. Only at the beginning '//' is needed, otherwise the seperator is simply '/'.
Change the line to

pLoc = new RepositoryLocation("//NewLocalRepository/Hypo");

and it should work.

Regards,
Marco
