We are using custom-written proxy class for handling the Web Service communication provided by Mihai Cadariu (screenshot attached) for resolving dynamic linking.
For forming the LinkUrl parameters to resolve dynamiclink/component link we are following the below sample approach. But its throwing error (stacktrace,debug error)attached .Please validate and provide the inputs where we are going wrong. Please let us know the parameters we are passing are correct or not
Approach we used:
-->We have two components Comp1,Comp2 (can be created of same/different schema guess it not any issue)
-->Comp2 is being used as component link inside Comp1 (we have a component link field in comp1)
-->Created two dynamic CT’s DCT1, DCT2 for each comp (CT’s have simple DWT, Default finish actions)
Note: also tried keeping DD4T TBBs in similar set of CT’s as other approach but final got same error result
-->DWT code has --> SomeLink (to render component link so that LinkResolver TBB will resolve the links)
Also kept OTHWayLink (for cross checking)
-->Created two Pages Page1 (has Comp1+DCT1), Page2 (has Comp2 +DCT2) and published both pages to broker DB
-->Our goal is to resolve component link (Comp2) which is present inside Comp1 content so,
-->For GetDynamicLink() we provided parameters as given below. Which throwed error :400 (bad request) and exception in log trace attached above.
Param’s List --> string targetPageUri, string targetComponentUri, string targetTemplateUri, string linkText, bool showTextOnFail, string linkTagAttributes
Param’s we passed--> Page2 tcmid, Comp2 tcmid, DCT2 tcmid ,”some link txt”,true,”some string”;
-->For GetComponentLink()we provided parameters as given below. In this case we tried keeping both dynamic and non dynamic CT’s combination inside pages, Which also throwed error :400 (bad request) and exception in log trace attached above.
Param’s List --> string targetComponentUri, string sourcePageUri, string excludeTemplateUri, string linkText, bool showTextOnFail, bool showAnchor, string linkTagAttributes
Param’s we passed --> Comp2 tcmid, Page1 tcmid, DCT1 tcmid, “some link txt”,true,true,”some string” ;
we are refering Live documentation for Linking.
Mihai Proxy Code sample:
Error message:
Looks to me like your odata website is not set up correctly in d:/inetpub/wwwroot/odata/bin as the error message is that Classes are not found.
Can you confirm you've installed/placed the correct SDL Tridion dll/lib and configuration XML files into your website?
Here is a great post about how SDL Tridion loads these files: http://www.tridiondeveloper.com/how-tridion-content-delivery-loads-configuration-files-in-dotnet I'm sure once you've got the Odata application/website up and running this will work correctly for you.
The Content Delivery linking service's parameters are documented on this page (log in required). I'll paste an excerpt below, but you really should simply compare your strings to the parameters mentioned on that page.
Component Links
Command:/linking/componentLink (Java) or /linking.svc/componentLink (.NET)
Input parameters:
Parameter name Default value
sourcePageURI (none)
targetComponentURI (none)
excludeTemplateURI (none)
linkTagAttributes (empty)
linkText (empty)
showTextOnFail true
showAnchor false
From cross-checking these with the code you pasted in the screenshot, everything seems to line up.
That answer your question. But I doubt it solves your problem, since that seems (as John Winter suggested) more infrastructural: you're missing cd_link.jar in the relevant directory.
If you find it difficult to diagnose this problem further, I suggest contacting the original author of this custom code (or SDL or one of its partners). This will ensure you get help from someone who is experienced in troubleshooting the loading of JARs, DLLs and configuration files.

I would like to know where is this error code located in the AOT. Would like to know the path to understand the structure and develop custom code.

I generally use one of two methods to locate message strings.
Provided the cross reference is updated (it should be in dev) use the "Label editor" to to search for then string, see this answer.
Put a breakpoint in top of info.add method, disable CIL if needed, then rerun to get the error message invoking the debugger, see this answer.
I am a meteor newbie. I am trying out by building a simple app and it does nothing but shows list of items. I first tried out with hard coded model values in my client javascript code and it worked just fine. I then created a folder called 'model' under root of the application and created the model there like the following
Favorites = new Meteor.collection("favorites")
with this change, meteor throws exception pointing to this line of the file on load. If I move this code to client the code works ofcourse that is wrong. The full code is # https://github.com/ksunair/13favs It is a very simple solution has few files and less than 20 or 30 lines altogether. My client code is,
Template.favorites_main.helper({
favorites:Favorites
});
I did the following in order to clear your app of errors:
Favorites = new Meteor.Collection("favorites"); (Collection starts with a capital C)
I moved model/mainmodel.js to lib/mainmodel.js so Favorites would be available as soon as the template rendered. I always put my models under lib (or in a subdirectory) so they will be loaded first. This contradicts what I see in other places including discover meteor, so I'm unclear what the best practice is. In any case, it fixed the problem.
$ meteor add accounts-ui was needed because you referenced Accounts.ui.config.
You need to actually do a find in your favorites_main template. So it should look something like:
Template.favorites_main.helpers({
favorites: Favorites.find();
});
When I am publishing my page from tridio 2009, I am getting the error below:
Destination with name 'FTP=[Host=servername, Location=\RET, Password=******, Port=21, UserName=retftp]' reported the following failure:
A processing error occurred processing a transport package Attempting to deploy a binary [Binary id=tcm:553-974947-16 variantId= sg= path=/Images/image_thumbnail01.jpg] to a location where a different binary is already stored Existing binary: tcd:pub[553]/binarymeta[974950]
Below is my code snippet
Component bigImageComp = th.GetComponentValue("bigimage", imageMetaFields);
string bigImagefileName = string.Empty;
string bigImagePath = string.Empty;
bigImagefileName = bigImageComp.BinaryContent.Filename;
bigImagePath = m_Engine.AddBinary(bigImageComp.Id, TcmUri.UriNull, null, bigImageComp.BinaryContent.GetByteArray(), Path.GetFileName(bigImagefileName));
imageBigNode.InnerText = bigImagePath;
Please suggest
Chris Summers addressed this on his blog. Have a read of the article - http://www.urbancherry.net/blogengine/post/2010/02/09/Unique-binary-filenames-for-SDL-Tridion-Multimedia-Components.aspx
Generally in Tridion Content Delivery we can only keep one version of a Component. To get multiple "versions" of a MMC we have to publish MMC as variants. By this way we can produce as many variants as we need via templating.
You can refer below article for more detail:
http://yatb.mitza.net/2012/03/publishing-images-as-variants.html#!/2012/03/publishing-images-as-variants.html
When adding binaries you must ensure that the file and it's metadata is unique. If one of the values e.g. the filename appears to be the same but the rest of the metadata does not match, then deployment will fail.
In the given example (as Nuno points out) the binary 910 is trying to deploy over binary 703. The filename is the same but the binary is identified to be not the same (in the case a different ID from the same publication). For this example you will need to rename one of the binaries (either the file itself or change the path) and everything will be fine.
Other scenarios can be that the same image is used from two different templates and the template id is used as the varient ID. If this is the case it is the same image BUT the varient ID check fails so to avoid overwriting the same image the deployer fails it.
Often unpublishing can help, however, the image is only removed when ALL references to it are removed. So if it is used from more than one place there are more open references.
This is logical protection from the deployer. You would not want the wrong image replacing another and either upsetting the layout or potentially changing the content to another meeting (think advertising banner).
This is actual cause and reason for above problem (Something got from forum)
First, the overall description:
There are two Component Templates, NewsArticle and NewsList. NewsArticle is a Dreamweaver Template, and is used to display the content of a news article. NewsList is an xml file that contains aggregated information about all of the news articles.
Currently, a content author must publish the news article, and then re-publish the newslist to regenerate the xml.
Problem:
I have been tasked with having the publish of a news article also regenerate and publish the newslist. Through C#, I am able to retrieve the content of the newslist component, generate the updated xml from the news article, and merge it into the xml from the newslist. I am running into trouble getting the newslist to publish.
I have limited access to documentation, but from what I do have, I believe using the static PublishEngine.Publish method will allow me to do what I need. I believe the first parameter (items) is just a list that contains my updated newslist, and the second parameter is a new PublishInstruction with the RenderInstruction.RenderMode set to Publish. I am a little lost on what the publicationTargets should be.
Am I on the right track? If so, any help with the Publish method call is appreciated, and if not, any suggestions?
Like Quirijn suggested, a broker query is the cleanest approach.
In a situation if a broker isn't available (i.e. static publishing model only) I usually generate the newslist XML from a TBB that adds the XML as a binary, rather than kicking off publishing of another component or page. You can do this by calling this method in your C# TBB:
engine.PublishingContext.RenderedItem.AddBinary(
Stream yourXmlContentConvertedToMemoryStream,
string filename,
StructureGroup location,
string variantId,
string mimeType)
Make the variantId unique per the newslist XML file that you create, so that different components can overwrite/update the same file.
Better yet, do this in a Page Template rather than Component Template so that the news list is generated once per page, rather than per component (if you have multiple articles per page).
You are on the right tracks here with the engine.Publish() method:
PublishEngine.Publish(
new IdentifiableObject[] { linkedComponent },
engine.PublishingContext.PublishInstruction,
new List() { engine.PublishingContext.PublicationTarget });
You can just reuse the PublishInstruction and Target from the current context of your template. This sample shows a Component, but it should work in a page too.
One thing to keep in mind is that this is not possible in SDL Tridion 2011 SP1, as the publish action is not allowed out of the box due to security restrictions. I have an article about this here http://www.tridiondeveloper.com/the-story-of-sdl-tridion-2011-custom-resolver-and-the-allowwriteoperationsintemplates-attribute
I'm trying out Specflow for the first time, and have created a VS2010 project with a reference to TechTalk.SpecFlow, as well as nunit.framework. I've added a sample Feature file:
Feature: Addition
In order to avoid silly mistakes
As a math idiot
I want to be told the sum of two numbers
#mytag
Scenario: Add two numbers
Given I have entered 50 into the calculator
And I have entered 70 into the calculator

Then the result should be 120 on the screen
When I execuyte the test (using TestDriven.Net), I get the following error:
Test 'T:SpecFlowFeature1' failed: Couldn't find type with name 'SpecFlowFeature1'
System.Exception: Couldn't find type with name 'SpecFlowFeature1'
at MutantDesign.Xml.Documentation.MemberInfoUtilities.FindMemberInfo(Assembly assembly, String cref)
at TestDriven.TestRunner.AdaptorTestRunner.Run(ITestListener testListener, ITraceListener traceListener, String assemblyPath, String testPath)
at TestDriven.TestRunner.ThreadTestRunner.Runner.Run()
Anyone know what I'm missing?
Actually traced this down to how I was running the test. Right clicking the ".feature" file (or anywhere within that file) and selecting "Run Tests" resulted in the error. Right clicking the underlying ".feature.cs" file and selecting "Run Tests" executed correctly. Looks like TestDriven.Net wasn't able to "understand" the "*.feature" file.
I typically start "Couldn't find type..." errors in my references folder and make sure that the library that I'm referencing is being referenced correctly and that the version that's being referenced isn't outdated.
Also, make sure that your SpecFlowFeature1 class isn't mistakenly declared as private. Visual Studio creates new classes (by default) as private and if you don't specify a class as public, it will remain private and not "visible" to outside projects.
