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?
