Unable to parse objects beneath vclVAppNetworkConfiguration VCD 5.1

[Subnet88]

Good day,

I am attempting to retrieve the Network configuration of all vApp networks to a vm( Explicitly the Gateway, Mask, and Name). My code worked in the 1.5 plugin, so I started digging. I can drill down to the vclVAppNetworkConfiguration Object, and even read its name, however if I try and do anything beneath that object, or even try a .toXml on the VAppNetworkConfiguration object, I get an error. below is my code so far. Any ideas?

Input: vCloud:vm

var vApp = vm.parent;
//vApp.updateInternalState()
var vdc = vApp.parent;
var Org = vdc.parent;

// Creation of two empty arrays

NetworkNames =  new Array();
NetworksOut = new Array();



var NetworkConfig = vApp.getNetworkConfigSection();
//System.log(NetworkConfig.toXml());
NetworkConfigs = NetworkConfig.networkConfig.enumerate()
for(var i in NetworkConfigs){
try{
Configs = NetworkConfigs[i];
System.log( i+" :: "+Configs)
System.log("NetworkName: "+Configs.networkName)
System.log(Configs.toXml())
//This returns "null"
for(var j in Configs){
try{
System.log(j + ":: "+Configs[j])
//This returns " Property named '__iterator__' not found on object : VclVAppNetworkConfiguration "
}
catch(ex){
continue}
}

Try this (untested code). It gets the network name and tries to get what is under a single or multiple ip scopes.

var networkConfigSection = vApp.getNetworkConfigSection();
var networkConfigs = networkConfigSection.networkConfig.enumerate();

for each(var networkConfig in networkConfigs){
    System.log("NetworkName: "+networkConfig.networkName);
    if (networkConfig.ipScope != null) {
        System.log("gateway: "+networkConfig.ipScope.gateway);
        System.log("netmask: "+networkConfig.ipScope.netmask);
    }
    var ipScopes = networkConfig.ipScopes;
    if (ipScopes != null) {
        var ipScopeArray = ipScopes.ipScope.enumerate();
        for each(var ipScope in ipScopeArray){
            System.log("gateway: "+ipScope.gateway);
            System.log("netmask: "+ipScope.netmask);    
        }
    }
}

Thanks Christophe,

This code retrievs the names of the Networks, but nothing else.  The Server.log shows the following during run

Are you sure the vApp has an ip scope with a gateway / netmask set ?

I cannot check but according to the following thread the code I wrote should be close enought : http://communities.vmware.com/thread/421824

all 5 networks attached to the vApp have a Gatewat / Mask associated with them. Some are VCNS devices, and some are external directly connected networks. From the vapp itself in the Native VCD interface, I can see the network specification of each of the networks( Greyed out)

Got it a different way :

var vAppNetworks = vApp.getVAppNetworks();
for each (var vAppNetwork in vAppNetworks) {
    var configuration = vAppNetwork.configuration;
    System.log(vAppNetwork.name);
    var ipScopeArray = configuration.ipScopes.ipScope.enumerate();
    for each(var ipScope in ipScopeArray){
        System.log("gateway: "+ipScope.gateway);
        System.log("netmask: "+ipScope.netmask);    
    }
}

That worked perfectly. Now my question is, Why couldnt we get to it the other way???

I am not sure why there are methods / properties to get this information from two different places. Maybe for legacy / compatibility but then it is creating some confusion. Maybe someone with more knowledge on the vCloud API will have the answer.
