Problem updating a custom field
Hi,
We are using SuiteTalk to update some fields on customer records in the NetSuite database.
The code is as below:
[CODE]
final StringCustomFieldRef linkRef = new StringCustomFieldRef("custentity23", "http://www.google.com");
StringCustomFieldRef[] newFieldList = new StringCustomFieldRef[]{linkRef};
Customer custToUpdate = new Customer();
custToUpdate.setInternalId(customer.getInternalId());
custToUpdate.setCustomFieldList(newFieldList);
port.update(custToUpdate);
[/CODE]
When executing this code we get the following exception:
[CODE]
Exception in thread "main" AxisFault
faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.userException
faultSubcode:
faultString: org.xml.sax.SAXException: {urn:core_2009_2.platform.webservices.netsuite.com}CustomFieldRef is an abstract type and cannot be instantiated
faultActor:
faultNode:
