Error to get the associated hardware for an account

[raulcabero]

When I call the SoftLayer_Account::getHardware method I got the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: ID is required to invoke public abstract java.util.List com.softlayer.api.service.Account$Service.getHardware()
at com.softlayer.api.RestApiClient$ServiceProxy.invokeService(RestApiClient.java:282)
at com.softlayer.api.RestApiClient$ServiceProxy.invoke(RestApiClient.java:459)
at com.sun.proxy.$Proxy0.getHardware(Unknown Source)
at testJava.testjavaArtifact.Main.main(Main.java:16)

this is my code:

import com.softlayer.api.*;
import com.softlayer.api.service.Account;
import com.softlayer.api.service.Hardware;

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String user = "set me";
String apikey = "set me";
ApiClient client = new RestApiClient().withCredentials(user, apikey);

    for (Hardware hardware : Account.service(client).getHardware()) {
        System.out.println("Hardware: " + hardware.getFullyQualifiedDomainName());
    }               
}

}

Usually methods like this require you to provide an ID during creation of the service, but the account service is special because internally we set it to your account ID automatically. I will alter the code generator to remove instanceRequired from the ApiMethod annotation on all methods for com.softlayer.api.service.Account.Service.

In the meantime, you can provide your account ID as the second parameter to the service call to make your code work. Your account ID is usually the same as your master user's username sans the prepended "SL".

hi was able to get it to work (either using getobject on account or using id as you suggested) but get a gson error now (original reported here https://forums.softlayer.com/forum/softlayer-services/portal/82719-errors-using-java-api

ApiClient client = new RestApiClient().
withCredentials("xx","xx").withLoggingEnabled();

for(Hardware hardware : Account.service(client).getObject().getHardware())
{  
    System.out.println(hardware.getFullyQualifiedDomai nName());
  }

exception:

Hello cretz

I changed my code to the following:

ApiClient client = new RestApiClient().withCredentials(user, apikey);
Long id = new Long(XXXX);
for (Hardware hardware : Account.service(client, id).getHardware()) {
System.out.println("Hardware: " + hardware.getFullyQualifiedDomainName());
}

but now I am getting the following error:

I see this error now. This is a new library, and the HTTP header that we pass in to get static types from the API is not being respected by our backend properly. We are fixing this internally now.

This internal fix is slated for a Wednesday release.

The issue with the "complexType" property should be resolved. Please confirm.

I am leaving this issue open for removing the ID requirement on SoftLayer_Account service instance methods. In the meantime, please explicitly provide your account ID.

Hi,

now I did not see the issue related with "complexType" and I am able to see the hardware list.
