Hi Tim,
Depending on which message you are working with, it is likely that the proper type is available there. In my case the network object was the task owner, so my reference to VclNotifcationHelper.getTaskOwnerLink().type will return "vcloud:network" as expected. Alternately, you can use the getTaskOwnerLinkType() call or VclEntityType.NETWORK.value for a static reference to the correct type.
Since you saw success, I decided to take another look at it and I think my problem was due to the state of the specific vApp network object when the message came accross. If I choose some non-changing org network from the inventory, this works fine for me as well. By the way, as a work-around, I was able to get a handle to the network object by using the Query Service instead. It is a little more work to setup the query, and I had to search by name, then filter the results by id, but in the end it worked, so that is also another option for accomplishing something liike this. An example for using the Query Service to find a network would be something like this:
var queryService = host.getQueryService();
var expression = new VclExpression(VclQueryVAppNetworkField.NAME, network.name, VclExpressionType.EQUALS);
var filter = new VclFilter(expression);
var params = new VclQueryParams();
params.setFilter(filter);
var resultSet = queryService.queryRecords(VclQueryRecordType.VAPPNETWORK, params);
while (resultSet != null) {
var records = resultSet.getRecords(new VclQueryResultVAppNetworkRecord());
System.log(records.length + " records found");
for (i = 0; i < records.length; i++) {
System.log("name:" + records[i].name);
System.log("id" + records[i].id);
}
resultSet = resultSet.getNextPage();
}
