SuiteTalk SOAP API CustomFieldSearch in Java

Question

I am using the Java proxies downloaded from http://content.netsuite.com/download/NSJavaClient2021-2.zip Given a CustomFieldRef (with say, InternalId "30"), how do I fetch the name of this CustomField? In short, is there a CustomFieldSearch to search all CustomFields?

Answer 1

In the soap world, you'll want to think of the CustomField as the superclass for a number of specialized classes like TransactionBodyCustomField or EntityCustomField. From there, you can access the record using a standard get call. I'm not familiar with the java-proxies, but in python, we'd do something like:

f = soap.get('transactionBodyCustomField', '30')

which would send an xml body with the appropriate recordRef xml.
