Updating record with VF but Page Reference Update Failing
Hey Guys,
I have a requirement where: A contact already exists, they need a custom button that directs to a visual force page where I have a created a form that has a subset of fields on the contac they need to fill out. When they are done they save and need to update the contact.
So far I have completed:
1. Directing to the page
2. Querying the subset of contact fields in the controller that will be used in the page since we cannot use a standard controller
3. Built the page
Error 4. Updating the record using a page refrence
Here is the controller:
public class IntakeController{ public static Contact currentContact {get; set;} public final Id cId {get; set;} public IntakeController() { cId = ApexPages.currentPage().getparameters().get('cid'); currentContact = new Contact(); currentContact = [SELECT //All the fields FROM Contact WHERE Id =: cId]; } public PageReference SaveContact(){ system.debug(currentContact); if(currentContact != null){ update currentContact; } PageReference returnPage = new PageReference('/' + cId); returnPage.setRedirect(true); return returnPage; } }
Problem is everytime I go to save I get a null value for currentContact in that debug. I am updating the values of contact Record in the page using input fields. What am I doing wrong here, and how do I get the updated values from the page?
Thanks
What does your page look like? Are you using immediate="true" at all?
hmm that looks strange to as you try to asign a brand new value to a newly created object onto a public static variable
it is either static or get/set but not both try without the key word or combine it with your sql query to get the value on it
but public static x
x = new y()
x = select...
does not work
or you try the static combined with the keyword new and after that x =....
why not
I removed the static from the contact variable and made it local, and that seemed to solve the issue. Any Idea why that is?
