I am getting the following error:
Illegal assignment from SObject to Contact
I created a class called DynamicSObjectUpdater that I use to consolidate DML statements in my triggers. Basically you just call the class getSObject
and it appends the SObject to a Map called sorToUpdate
and then returns the SObject.
In one of my classes, I am calling the Class and its saying the following code is an illegal assignment from SObject to Contact.
Contact conToUpdate = sObjectUpdater.getSObject(con.Id);
I am not sure what I am missing here to make this work.
public with sharing class DyanmicSObjectUpdater
Map<SObjectType, Map<Id, sObject>> sorToUpdate = new Map<SObjectType, Map<Id, sObject>>();
public SObject getSObject(ID sObjectID)
SObjectType sot = sObjectID.getSobjectType();
if(!sorToUpdate.containsKey(sot))
sorToUpdate.put(sot, new Map<Id, SObject>());

You need to cast the return value.
Contact conToUpdate = (Contact)sObjectUpdater.getSObject(con.Id);
More generally, you cannot directly assign a value typed at compile time as a superclass (like sObject
) to a variable typed as a subclass (Contact
is a subclass of sObject
). You can perform a cast to tell the compiler that the sObject
instance you're getting back from getSObject()
is actually a Contact
; if at runtime this is not the case (i.e., you get back an Account
or something else that isn't a Contact
), you will receive an exception.
You might find the implementation of the Unit of Work pattern in fflib
interesting as you're building this type of generic/abstracted DML code.
Thank you for the insight on this. I am beginning to learn generic/abstracted coding patterns. Let me know if you have any resources that you can point me to that you found helpful when you were beginning to learn these topics.
