Secondary lookup on tFileList fails

[fxliagre]

I'm currently building a job parsing and loading an XML file in several DB tables.

 

I have one tFileInputXML "main", and 3 others "lookup", each of them defining and processing the same file.

 

Then I try to add, as an entry, a tFileListComponent looking and iterating on xml files in a directory (for the test, only one file in the directory).

 

I replaced in my 4 tFileInputXML the absolute file name by the variable ((String)globalMap.get("tFileList_1_CURRENT_FILEPATH"))

 

 

The first (main) tFileInputXML works perfectly, but the 3 others fails saying "null pointer exception"

 

The generated source shows the error line as :

org.dom4j.Document doc_tFileInputXML_3 = reader_tFileInputXML_3

.read(new java.io.FileInputStream(((String) globalMap

.get("tFileList_1_CURRENT_FILEPATH"))));

 

Any idea to help ?

Additional info :

 

I forgot to mention : TOS Version: 2.3.2

Build id: r12707-20080331-1117

 

And the reason of the error seems to be a improper code generation (lookup links are called BEFORE the tFileList component is executed !) :

 

tFileInputXML_3Process();

tFileInputXML_4Process();

tFileInputXML_5Process();

use the global map, which one is filled by the tFileList execution which occurs... only later !

 

Code:

    public void tFileList_1Process() throws TalendException {
        try {
            tFileInputXML_3Process();
            tFileInputXML_4Process();
            tFileInputXML_5Process();

            row1Struct row1 = new row1Struct();
            row1Struct row3 = row1;
            row2Struct row2 = new row2Struct();
            setsStruct sets = new setsStruct();
            logStruct log = new logStruct();
            logSetsStruct logSets = new logSetsStruct();
            /**
             * [tFileList_1 begin ] start
             */

            ok_Hash.put("tFileList_1", false);
            start_Hash.put("tFileList_1", System.currentTimeMillis());
            currentComponent = "tFileList_1";

            // tFileList_Begin

            String directory_tFileList_1 = "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.0/webapps/promotion/export";
            String filemask_tFileList_1 = "*.xml" + "$";
// etc...

 

But everything I tried always produce this generation...
