Hello, made a custom element and having this error: (Note that this element shows up successfully in element pane and error appears when element is being called in callflow)

10.1.253.97.1375980885522.0.ALL_BB_IVR,08/08/2013 10:54:52.745, The error was: 'com.cisco.pso.shaw.elements.ConvertStringToArray' is not a valid action element class.
com.audium.server.AudiumException: 'com.cisco.pso.shaw.elements.ConvertStringToArray' is not a valid action element class.
at com.audium.server.controller.Controller.goToAction(Controller.java:2956)
at com.audium.server.controller.Controller.goToElement(Controller.java:2691)
at com.audium.server.controller.Controller.continueCall(Controller.java:2511)
at com.audium.server.controller.Controller.goToElement(Controller.java:2742)
at com.audium.server.controller.Controller.continueCall(Controller.java:2511)

I have implemented getElementName, getDisplayFolderName, GetDescription, getSettings, getElementData(which just returns null) and doAction.

My import lib is:

/*     */ import com.audium.server.AudiumException;
/*     */ import com.audium.server.session.APIBase;
/*     */ import com.audium.server.session.ActionElementData;
/*     */ import com.audium.server.session.ComponentAPI;
/*     */ import com.audium.server.session.ElementAPI;
/*     */ import com.audium.server.voiceElement.ActionElementBase;
/*     */ import com.audium.server.voiceElement.ElementData;
/*     */ import com.audium.server.voiceElement.ElementException;
/*     */ import com.audium.server.voiceElement.ElementInterface;
/*     */ import com.audium.server.voiceElement.Setting;
/*     */ import com.audium.server.xml.ActionElementConfig;
/*     */ import com.audium.server.xml.ElementConfig;
import com.audium.core.util.Assert;
import com.audium.server.controller.Controller;
/*     */ import java.util.HashMap;
/*     */ import java.util.Iterator;
/*     */ import java.util.Map.Entry;
/*     */ import java.util.Set;

The first time I had this error, I deleted all the import lines that were not being used as per call studio but I put them back on cause I found the same concern on this forum and the initial advise was the import lib so I put them back but I am still getting the same error:

my doAction as follow:

ActionElementConfig config = actionData.getActionElementConfig();
String stringToParse = config.getSettingValue("string", actionData);
String delim = config.getSettingValue("delimiter", actionData);
String arrName = config.getSettingValue("arrayName", actionData);

stringToParse = stringToParse.trim();
delim = delim.trim();
String[] parsedString = stringToParse.split(delim);
actionData.addToLog("String to convert",stringToParse);
actionData.addToLog("Delimiter",delim);
for (int i = 0; i < parsedString.length; i++){
actionData.addToLog("Converting to array object",i + "-"+parsedString);
}

try{

actionData.setSessionData(arrName, parsedString);  
} catch (AudiumException ae) {
actionData.addToLog("Error during creation of session variable" ,ae.toString());
actionData.addToLog("AudiumException" ,ae.getMessage());

}


Any suggestions?

Just tested it, and the only thing missing is a closing brace } Perhaps you don't have the full package directory on VXMLServer under VxmlServer/applications/appname/java/classes On 8/8/2013 4:31 PM, Cisco Developer Community Forums wrote: Ruzel Jamilon has created a new message in the forum "General Discussion - All Versions": -------------------------------------------------------------- Ooops.

Hello. This import lib did the trick - these were the ones I added initially after the error but was not loading properly in the server.
What I did is to recompile and redeploy and it worked!

import com.audium.server.session.APIBase;
import com.audium.server.session.ComponentAPI;
import com.audium.server.session.ElementAPI;

I deleted this imports the very first time cause call studio was saying those were not being used in the code. But I have read in another forum that we actually need to import them

Thanks Janine!
