MPXJ: Microsoft Project Exchange

Hi,

probably the simplest and easiest way to do this is to create yourself a map:

Map<String,TaskField> map;

and populate it from an array:

Object[][] array = new Object[][]
{
  {"TEXT1", TaskField.Text1}
  ...
  ...
  // lots more entries here
};

You can then look up the field type based on the name:

TaskField type = map.get("TEXT1")

then use the type to get the value

Object value = task.get(type);


Cheers!

Jon

well, I had to do something similar to what you want, what I did as using
reflection :)

you have the string "Text1", by reflection invoke "getText1()" this will
give you great flexibility when you encounter something similar

Well, sure I can do that. I was just expecting to see some API for this in
mpxj itself.  Thanks

Hi,

it looks like for some resaon your JAXB implementation is generating
debugging output. It would probably be helpful to look at what
environment variables and Java properties you have set when your code
runs to see if anything might be enabling debug output. With an out of
the box 1.6 JRE under Windows, you don't get any console output.

Hope that helps!

Here's the complete source code sample I'm using:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

import net.sf.mpxj.TimeUnit;
import net.sf.mpxj.mspdi.MSPDIWriter;
import net.sf.mpxj.writer.ProjectWriter;

public class TryMPXJ1 {

private static Map<String, Resource> resourceNameToObjectMap = new
HashMap<String, Resource>();

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

ProjectFile project = new ProjectFile();
 project.setAutoTaskID(true);
project.setAutoTaskUniqueID(true);
project.setAutoResourceID(true);
 project.setAutoResourceUniqueID(true);
project.setAutoOutlineLevel(true);
 project.setAutoOutlineNumber(true);
project.addDefaultBaseCalendar();

 createSampleTask(project);

writeProject(project, "file1.xml");
 System.out.println("done");
}

private static Resource getOrCreateResource(ProjectFile project,
 String assigneeName) {
Resource resource = resourceNameToObjectMap.get(assigneeName);
 if (resource == null) {
// we assume all resources are already in the 'cache' (map)
 resource = project.addResource();
resource.setName(assigneeName);
resource.setType(ResourceType.WORK);
 // resource.setUniqueID(assignee.getId());
resourceNameToObjectMap.put(assigneeName, resource);
 }
return resource;
}

private static void createSampleTask(ProjectFile project) {
Task mspTask = project.addTask();
 mspTask.setMilestone(false);
mspTask.setName("sample task 1");

// ESTIMATED TIME
Duration estimatedValue = Duration.getInstance(80, TimeUnit.HOURS);
 // trying to set to both fields
mspTask.setWork(estimatedValue);
mspTask.setDuration(estimatedValue);

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
Date start = cal.getTime();
 mspTask.setStart(start);
cal.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 10);
Date finish = cal.getTime();
 mspTask.set(TaskField.FINISH, finish);

// ASSIGNEE
mspTask.setResourceNames("User1");
 Resource resource = getOrCreateResource(project, "User1");

 ass.setUnits(100);
}

}
 File realFile = new File(fileName);

 writer.write(project, realFile);
return realFile.getAbsolutePath();
}

}

I found the answer myself:
need  to  set the remaining work on the assignment:
                ResourceAssignment ass = ...
        ass.setRemainingWork(estimatedValue);

Hi Adrian,

 MPXJ is a library used to read and write MS Project files mainly. It is 
 not a scheduling engine and this is what it seems that you want to 
 achieve. At least this is what I know...

 Cheers,

Just set the start date for the first task, MS Project will take care of
calculating the rest for you
