I need to choose one of the configured NSX Endpoints, depending on an input parameter.
For that I wanted to use the NSXConnectionManager.findConnectionByName(<|>?String_name) method, but I get a null pointer exception early on, when creating a new NSXConnectionManager:
var myNSXConnectionManager = new NSXConnectionManager();
exception: 'Cannot create NSXConnection object : java.lang.NullPointerException'
What is the correct way to create a new connection manager instance? Do I have to pass a value?
Hi,
NSXConnectionManager is not a regular scripting object but a scripting singleton, so you can't instantiate it with new
So instead of:
var myNSXConnectionManager = new NSXConnectionManager();
var connection = myNSXConnectionManager.findConnectionByName("connname");
you should use something like:
var connection = NSXConnectionManager.findConnectionByName("connname");

Tried this:
var newNSXConn = NSXConnectionManager.findConnectionByName("nsx_conn_name");
and also with the Endpoint Id, same result:

Edit: Just as I was writing the above, I have found the source of the error! It was my mistake, in the scriptable task I still had an output parameter of the type NSX:Connection, that did not get a value assigned. Removing the output parameter also resulted in no more NPE error.
