Common Mistakes
The following is a list of common mistakes when using Descriptors:
- Forgetting to specify the required Descriptor parameters.
- Not specifying a source URL when calling a relative URL from a Descriptor element.
- Changing parameter requirements and not redeploying the Descriptor.
- XML syntax problems. Use a tool like xmllint.
- XSL syntax problems. Use a command line XSL processor.
- Redeploying built in Descriptors and forgetting to redeploy other Descriptors.
- If a Descriptor returns something other than XML, you can not use the Descriptor
executeWeb Service/API which returns aorg.w3c.domelement. This attempts to turn the Descriptor result into XML and fails if it is not XML. Use theexecuteQueryToStringWeb Service/API instead.
