No applicable constructor/method found for actual parameters

No applicable constructor/method found for actual parameters “java.lang.String” is the error message I am receiving.

I am writing Java behind a Reformat transform as below

	}
}
//end of transform class

The problem is on the line:

${out.0.ImageLocation}=(Object)(images.get(strippedName).getImgFile().getPath());

As you can see, I have tried casting the string to an Object (since the error said a constructor existed for Object). However, I get the same error message. It’s still trying to use a String even after the explicit cast.

I don’t know what to do. Help?

Hello,
try


outputRecords[0].getField("ImageLocation").setValue(images.get(strippedName).getImgFile().getPath());

instead of


${out.0.ImageLocation}=(Object)(images.get(strippedName).getImgFile().getPath());

For performance improvement use rather field’s numbers instead of theirs names, eg.:


outputRecords[0].getField(0).setValue(inputRecords[0].getField(0)); //${out.0.ItemID}=${in.0.ItemID}
outputRecords[0].getField(1).setValue(inputRecords[0].getField(1)); // ${out.0.ItemNumber}=${in.0.ItemNum}
.
.
.
outputRecords[0].getField(2).setValue(images.get(strippedName).getImgFile().getPath());
