Match specific response in vsi against todays date

[RobHuson76040630]

Hi, 

 

I am trying to match a specific response for a transaction when one of the request parameters is equal to todays date.
I have tried a property expression like  = doDateDeltaFromCurrent("yyyy-MM-dd","0H"), I have also tried this as a standard = comparison operator. I also tried the following match script but it never seems to get invoked (as far as i can tell):

 

com.itko.util.ParameterList incomingValue = incomingRequest.getArguments();
String requestdate = incomingValue.getParameterValue("request_enquiryEndDate");
String today = doDateDeltaFromCurrent("yyyy-MM-dd","0H");

if(requestdate.equals.today) {
return true;
}

return false;

It feels like this should be an easy thing to do but I just cant make it work!! Any ideas?

Try this.. 

 

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

 

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String todate = sdf.format( new Date());
String incomingDate = "2018-03-22"; // incomingRequest.getArguments().get("request_enquiryEndDate");

 

if(todate.equals(incomingDate)){
   return true;
}

return false;

Thanks,

 

That works perfectly if i leave the date hardcoded but if I use:

 

String incomingDate = incomingRequest.getArguments().get("request_enquiryEndDate");

Then it doesnt work, so I guess its having trouble getting the parameter from the request, maybe it needs converting ot a string first?

Hi Rob,

 

You can try the below. I'm not really sure about the magic dates in the match script. 

 

import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
String incomingValue = incomingRequest.getArguments().get("request_enquiryEndDate");

Date date = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat dmyFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
String strDate = dmyFormat.format(date);

if(incomingValue.equalsIgnoreCase(strDate)) {
// true means these arguments match
return true;
}

// false means no match
return false;

 

regards,

Shivakumar.

Return type of incomingRequest.getArguments().get("request_enquiryEndDate"); is string by default. make sure that the key request_enquiryEndDate is correct (same as request argument name).
