Hello dear PB-folks,

In my case 'Error calling method of a PBNI object' occurs every time, when the XML-String to be decoded is too large.

PBDom_Bldr = Create PBDOM_BUILDER

IF IsValid(PBDom_Bldr) THEN
	PBDom_Doc = PBDom_Bldr.BuildFromString(ls_my_XML)
END IF

If ls_my_XML is something around ~100 MB, then BuildFromString throws this error, when ls_my_XML is e. g. 10 MB, then it works.

I looked into PBDOM_BUILDER documentation, but there is no hint regarding to a maximum size?!

What is the maximum size for BuildFormString?

Kind Regards,

Martin

Hello,

Is your Batch Authorization window loading an other .pbx file ?

If so, I had a similar issue :

1) first use of pbdom (loading pbdom.pbx file)

2) launch a treatement that loads another pbx file (a c++ solution)

3) second use of pbdom (exactly the same as first use)

=> 'Error calling method of a PBNI object' when calling BuildFromString Method

I found that's because my other PBX use a non unicode charset ! 

Operations to fix this issue for me are :

- Change charset to unicode in c++ project

- adapt c++ code to be "unicode complient"

- regenerate the pbx file

- import the new pbx file with "import PB extensions ..." of powerbuilder

- copy pbx file in my executable directory

Hope this can help somebody because it was realy complex to resolve it for me

Hi Olan,

ls_xml is valid. It contains the same data the first time the window is opened and runs without error. It contains the contents of a couple tables in the database and doesn't change between the first and second open of the window.

Below is the contents of my xml:

idom_pbdom_doc is defined as an instance variable of type pbdom_document. Below is the declaration:

pbdom_document idom_pbdom_doc
pbdom_builder idom_pbdom_builder

I don't cast the return value from the BuildFromString call as i use it to parse the document in another function further down where i am expecting a value of type pbdom_object.

I can debug but i can't step into the BuildFromString call as it is a pbd.  Below is the quick watch for the exception caught from the BuildFromString call:

Thanks for your help,

Karen

Is the value of LS_XML valid?
I.E.: it's not null, not too long, and contains valid data.

Is "idom_pbdom_doc" a variable of the correct datatype for the return value?
Example:  the return value is a boolean and idom_pbdom_doc is a string.

Do you need to cast the return of the "idom_pbdom_builder.BuildFromString(ls_xml)" call?
Example:  In an OLE call, the return value is ANY so if you want to ssee the return code the entire call needs to be cast:      long   ll_rc
             ll_rc = Long ( ole_object_instance.SomeFunction() )

Is it possible to step into the call using the PB Debugger?


I'm running out of ideas here.

This is in the nature os an "Is it plugged in?" response, but....

Is the idom_pbdom_builder object valid?

IF (NOT (IsNull (idom_pbdom_builder))) THEN

   try
        idom_pbdom_doc = idom_pbdom_builder.BuildFromString(ls_xml)

   catch (throwable e1)
        ls_exception = e1.getmessage()

        //KEB - Error importing xml
        Parent.SetRedraw(True)
        This.SetRedraw(True)

        return
    end try

END IF
