[Mondrian] UDFs and Util.java changelist 9827

[Reidmiller, Chuck]

We have a few UDFs that were developed against Mondrian 2.3.2.  I
recently attempted to use the schema with these UDFs against Mondrian
3.0 and ran into this error for the GetExtractDate UDF:

 

Caused by: mondrian.olap.MondrianException: Mondrian Error:Failed to
load user-defined function '': class 'mondrian.udf.GetExtractDate' does
not implement the required interface 'mondrian.spi.UserDefinedFunction'

The public constructor for GetExtractDate takes a string argument in
order to get the function name:

 

    public GetExtractDate(String name){

 

but the createUdf method of Util  is set up to call a default
constructor that has no argument.  The createUdf method appears to have
been added on 2007/08/29 with changelist 9827.  I have gotten past the
problem by overloading createUDF via: 

 

    public static UserDefinedFunction createUdf(Class<?> udfClass,

                                        String name) {

 

which includes code borrowed from defineFunction of RolapSchema to call
the UDF with a string argument when applicable.  In addition, I changed
the CalcImpl constructor in UdfResolver to invoke the overloaded
createUdf with the function name:

 

this.udf = Util.createUdf(udf.getClass(), udf.getName());

 

Any comments from folks who know the code better than me?

 

Thanks, Chuck
