I tried the following code. Will you help me resolve the error .
Also let me know if the steps which i hace followed are correct.
So please help.
<CODE>
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import com.vmware.vim25.ExtendedEvent;
import com.vmware.vim25.ManagedObjectReference;
import com.vmware.vim25.mo.EventManager;
import com.vmware.vim25.mo.ManagedObject;
import com.vmware.vim25.mo.ServiceInstance;
public class CreateCustomTask
{
final static String EXTENSION_KEY = "ABCXYZ";
public static void main(String[] args) throws RemoteException, MalformedURLException, InterruptedException
{
ServiceInstance si = new ServiceInstance(new URL("https://VC_SERVER/sdk"), "Administrator", "PASSWORD", true);
ManagedObject vm = new ManagedObject() {
};
ManagedObjectReference mor = vm.getMOR();
mor.type = "VirtualMachine";
mor.val = "vm1";
EventManager eventManager = si.getEventManager();
ExtendedEvent myEvent = new ExtendedEvent();
myEvent.setChainId(0);
myEvent.setKey(0);
myEvent.setCreatedTime(new GregorianCalendar());
myEvent.setFullFormattedMessage("This is my first event message");
myEvent.setUserName("Admin-1");
myEvent.setMessage("This is my first event message");
myEvent.setEventTypeId("BackupEvent");
myEvent.setManagedObject(mor);
TaskInfo ti = si.getTaskManager().createTask(vm, "111", "root", false);
eventManager.postEvent(myEvent, ti);
System.out.println("posting my event done");
si.getServerConnection().logout();
}
</CODE>
This is the error which i am facing at line " eventManager.postEvent(myEvent, null);" :
