Re: OGOJOGI->Person.insertJob()

Hi murphee,

your approach helped a little bit, but didn't solve my problem 
completely. Weh I use insert insert(Person person, java.util.Date 
startDate, java.util.Date endDate, java.lang.String name)  of the 
JobManager class, I only can set the three job-arguments. Here my code:

    public boolean updateJob(OgoJobVO job, String user, String password) 
throws OgoException, ConnectionException{
       
        boolean gespeichert = false;
        String [] args = {job.getId()};
               
        try{
            // Verbindung zum Server aufbauen
            XMLConnector myCon = new XMLConnector(user,password);
            XmlRpcConnection con = myCon.connect();
           
            // OpenGroupWare Instanz
            OpenGroupWare ogo = con.getOpenGroupWareInstance();
           
            //JobManager
            JobManager jobMan = ogo.getJobManager();
           
            // Jobs abfragen
            Iterator iter = ogo.getJobManager().getJobs(args);
            if(iter != null){
                Job tempJob = (Job)iter.next();
               
                // Ausführer des Jobs ermitteln
                Account pers_acc = tempJob.getExecutor();
                Person pers = pers_acc.getPerson();
                Job insJob = jobMan.insert(pers,job.getStartDatum(), 
job.getEndDatum(), job.getName());
                insJob.setPriority(5);
               
               
                //tempJob.setStartDate(job.getStartDatum());
                //tempJob.setName(job.getName());
            }
           
            // Verbindung schließen
            con.closeConnection();
        }
        finally{}
       
        return true;
    }

The method isn't completed yet, OgoJobVO is a Valueobject I need with 
Macromedia Flex and contains only the values of a job.
The insert method works, but if I try to set something, i.e. the 
priority, I receive org.opengroupware.jogi.ogo.OgoException: 
NoSuchAction: action not implemented. We mailed about this issue. If you 
use the xmlrpc_caller tool you will see, there is no function 
jobs.updateJob even though it is in the xml-rpc-de.pdf documentation. 
You gave me a hint, person.updateJob is available, but I don't have any 
documentation about this method and I don't know about the needed arguments.
My problem is, I can't insert a complete new Job and I'm not able to 
update a job. What a pity.

Any more suggestions apart from sending a bug or an enhancement?
