Update service fail - Error during entity validation

[Sebastian Van Lacke]

Hi,
Some services started to fail after installing the new version of tp.
For example, I get an error when trying to do a bug update call, with
a changed custom field. "Error during entity validation --- Object
reference not set to an instance of an object".

I'm sending this envelope:

Hi,

I have verified it locally with your version of TP without errors. Can
you send me your sample that gives you error to
"andrey.v...@targetprocess.com".

Regards,
Andrey

Hi Andrey, what do you mean by your sample? The SOAP envelope that I
have copied is a real one. Do you need anything else?

Thank you

Sebastian

The SOAP envelope seems to be fine...my working sample envelope looks
like below...the server gives that exception when validating the
entity before save, but normally it's a readable message...can we
schedule a go to meeting with you ?

Andrew, I have noted that the service works if I put all the entity
tags in the same order as in your example. Besides, it is not
necessary to include null values.

Is it mandatory to send the parameters in that order?

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

He have recently added [XmlElement(Order =...)] attributes to all our
DTO's. This can be the root cause of the problem. Can you please try
to regenerate the ServiceProxies from the wsdl in your
TargetProcess...
Let me know if this didn't help.

Regards,
Andre

Hi Andrew, we have changed our Smalltalk framework to use the order
described in the services documentation.
It seems that the order is required only for the Update service not
for Create, for example. Is that correct?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

The order is required for all methods. Some calls might work but it's
better to follow the order for all them

Andrey
