Extension - ThingTemplate - SetHomeMashup

Extension - ThingTemplate - SetHomeMashup

Hi,

I am developping an extension for ThingWorx, and I can't find a way to set the HomeMashup for a ThingTemplate.

I tried using com.thingworx.entities.RootEntity.SetHomeMashup(String name) with my template mashup's name, in initializeEntity() and in initialiazeThing(), but when I load my extension on the server the HomeMashup setting is blank.

I tried setting it with a JavaScript service on the server, and it works :

var params = {

    name: "SLBTemplateMashup" /* MASHUPNAME */

};

// no return

ThingTemplates["SLBThingTemplate"].SetHomeMashup(params);

Is there another way to set the HomeMashup on a ThingTemplate from the extension ? Am I missing something ?

Thank you for your answers.

Hi Pierre,

Try following and see if it helps:

ThingTemplate tt = (ThingTemplate) EntityUtilities.findEntity("Thing_Template_Name_Here", ThingworxRelationshipTypes.ThingTemplate);

tt.SetHomeMashup("Home_Mashup_Name_Here");

You would need to import:

import com.thingworx.thingtemplates.ThingTemplate;

import com.thingworx.entities.utils.EntityUtilities;

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

I tried it in initializeEntity(), initializeThing() and processStartNotification(), it doesn't work, HomeMashup is not set.

Here is a part of my code :

@ThingworxBaseTemplateDefinition(name = "RemoteThing")

@ThingworxPropertyDefinitions(properties = { @ThingworxPropertyDefinition(name = "S1", description = "", category = "Outputs", baseType = "NUMBER", isLocalOnly = false, aspects = { "dataChangeType:Always", "isRemote:true", "units:%", "isLogged:true" }), @ThingworxPropertyDefinition(name = "S2", description = "", category = "Outputs", baseType = "NUMBER", isLocalOnly = false, aspects = { "dataChangeType:Always", "isRemote:true", "units:%", "isLogged:true" }), @ThingworxPropertyDefinition(name = "S3", description = "", category = "Outputs", baseType = "NUMBER", isLocalOnly = false, aspects = { "dataChangeType:Always", "isRemote:true", "units:%", "isLogged:true" }), @ThingworxPropertyDefinition(name = "S4", description = "", category = "Outputs", baseType = "NUMBER", isLocalOnly = false, aspects = { "dataChangeType:Always", "isRemote:true", "units:%", "isLogged:true" }), @ThingworxPropertyDefinition(name = "S5", description = "", category = "Outputs", baseType = "NUMBER", isLocalOnly = false, aspects = { "dataChangeType:Always", "isRemote:true", "units:%", "isLogged:true" }), @ThingworxPropertyDefinition(name = "S6", description = "", category = "Outputs", baseType = "NUMBER", isLocalOnly = false, aspects = { "dataChangeType:Always", "isRemote:true", "units:%", "isLogged:true" }) })

public class SLBThingTemplate extends RemoteThing {

    protected static Logger _logger = LogUtilities.getInstance().getApplicationLogger(SLBThingTemplate.class);

    @Override

    public void initializeEntity() throws Exception {

        super.initializeEntity();

        _logger.info("in:SLBThingTemplate.initializeEntity()");

        //

        ThingTemplate tpl = (ThingTemplate) EntityUtilities.findEntity("SLBThingTemplate", ThingworxRelationshipTypes.ThingTemplate);

        _logger.info(tpl.getName() + " found!");

        _logger.info("(before set) HomeMashup = " + tpl.GetHomeMashup());

        tpl.SetHomeMashup("SLBTemplateMashup");

        _logger.info("(after set) HomeMashup = " + tpl.GetHomeMashup());

//        SetHomeMashup("SLBTemplateMashup"); // doesn't work

        // automatically bind properties to remote properties exposed by the remote device

        // Outputs:

        this.SetRemotePropertyBinding("S1", "S1", 0, DataChangeType.NEVER.toString(), 0.);

        this.SetRemotePropertyBinding("S2", "S2", 0, DataChangeType.NEVER.toString(), 0.);

        this.SetRemotePropertyBinding("S3", "S3", 0, DataChangeType.NEVER.toString(), 0.);

        this.SetRemotePropertyBinding("S4", "S4", 0, DataChangeType.NEVER.toString(), 0.);

        this.SetRemotePropertyBinding("S5", "S5", 0, DataChangeType.NEVER.toString(), 0.);

        this.SetRemotePropertyBinding("S6", "S6", 0, DataChangeType.NEVER.toString(), 0.);

        //

        _logger.info("out:SLBThingTemplate.initializeEntity()");

    }

    @Override

    public void initializeThing() throws Exception {

        super.initializeThing();

        _logger.info("in:SLBThingTemplate.initializeThing()");

        //

        ThingTemplate tpl = (ThingTemplate) EntityUtilities.findEntity("SLBThingTemplate", ThingworxRelationshipTypes.ThingTemplate);

        _logger.info(tpl.getName() + " found!");

        _logger.info("(before set) HomeMashup = " + tpl.GetHomeMashup());

        tpl.SetHomeMashup("SLBTemplateMashup");

        _logger.info("(after set) HomeMashup = " + tpl.GetHomeMashup());

        _logger.info("out:SLBThingTemplate.initializeThing()");

    }

    @Override

    public void processStartNotification() {

        super.processStartNotification();

        try {

            _logger.info("in:SLBThingTemplate.processStartNotification()");

            //

            ThingTemplate tpl = (ThingTemplate) EntityUtilities.findEntity("SLBThingTemplate", ThingworxRelationshipTypes.ThingTemplate);

            _logger.info(tpl.getName() + " found!");

            _logger.info("(before set) HomeMashup = " + tpl.GetHomeMashup());

            tpl.SetHomeMashup("SLBTemplateMashup");

            _logger.info("(after set) HomeMashup = " + tpl.GetHomeMashup());

        } catch (Exception e) {

            _logger.error(e.getMessage());

        }

        _logger.info("out:SLBThingTemplate.processStartNotification()");

    }

}
