BlockingTask.getBlockingTaskById

Trying to use the "upper level" APIs for vCloud Director Java. To be specific those available in the packages com.vmware.vcloud.sdk.admin.extensions and com.vmware.vcloud.sdk.maas, notably Notification and BlockingTask in concert with RabbitMQ.

The snippet of code is:

QueueingConsumer.Delivery delivery = consumer.nextDelivery();

System.out.println( "a message arrived" );

Notification notification = createNotification( delivery );

System.out.println(" Headers:");

for (String headerName : notification.getNotificationHeaders().keySet()) {

System.out.println(" " + headerName + " - " + notification.getNotificationHeaders().get(headerName));

}

System.out.println(" Properties:");

System.out.println(" Organization Name - " + notification.getOrgLink().getName());

System.out.println(" Organization Id - " + notification.getOrgLink().getId());

System.out.println(" User Name - " + notification.getUserLink().getName());

System.out.println(" User Id - " + notification.getUserLink().getId());

System.out.println(" Event Id - " + notification.getResource().getEventId());

System.out.println(" Timestamp - " + notification.getResource().getTimestamp());

System.out.println(" Is Blocking - " + notification.isBlockingTask());

if( notification.isBlockingTask() ) {

System.out.println(" Blocking Task Name - " + notification.getBlockingTaskLink().getName());

System.out.println(" Blocking Task Id - " + notification.getBlockingTaskLink().getId());

System.out.println(" Blocking Task Rel - " + notification.getBlockingTaskLink().getRel() );

System.out.println(" Blocking Task Type - " + notification.getBlockingTaskLink().getType() );

BlockingTask bt = BlockingTask.getBlockingTaskById( vcloudClient,

notification.getBlockingTaskLink().getId() );

}

which produces the (sample) output:

Headers:

notification.entityType - com.vmware.vcloud.entity.blockingTask

notification.type - com/vmware/vcloud/event/blockingtask/create

notification.operationSuccess - true

notification.entityUUID - f80cd469-fb7d-46c2-94fc-fea8d02e40f8

notification.userUUID - 3d967671-ab04-44a9-9f8a-62caea0f3ade

notification.orgUUID - 56173d0c-90f7-47ef-9f29-b58b0a2716e4

Properties:

Organization Name - XXXXX

Organization Id - urn:vcloud:org:56173d0c-90f7-47ef-9f29-b58b0a2716e4

User Name - administrator

User Id - urn:vcloud:user:3d967671-ab04-44a9-9f8a-62caea0f3ade

Event Id - c6689ab6-51e9-4b6f-94df-f16c4ef32608

Timestamp - 2031-07-26T12:30:58.460-04:00

Is Blocking - true

Blocking Task Name - vappUpdateVm

Blocking Task Id - urn:vcloud:blockingTask:f80cd469-fb7d-46c2-94fc-fea8d02e40f8

Blocking Task Rel - entity

Blocking Task Type - vcloud:blockingTask

However, the last statement of the sample always generates an exception:

VCloudException: e=Reference Not Found

i.e. the method invocation BlockingTask.getBlockingTaskById( vcloudClient, notification.getBlockingTaskLink().getId() ) fails.

The vCloud Director Javadoc for Notification for the method getBlockingTaskLink is:

getBlockingTaskLink

public EntityLinkType getBlockingTaskLink()
                                   throws VCloudException

If the notification is for blocking operation, returns the blocking request link. This blocking task link contains the vcloud id of the blockingTask. This id can be used in theBlockingTask.getBlockingTaskById(com.vmware.vcloud.sdk.VcloudClient, String)

Returns:: EntityLinkType
Throws:: VCloudException

The question is then - bug or incorrect usage on my part?
