Search list throws error when only one record is to be returned.

Resolving The Problem

This may happen when there are a large number of parameters being formed in the URL . The error is indeed due to the URL length limit.

When there is a single record in the list page and the 'Supports Direct...' flag is checked, a different URL is formed based on the output of the specific getXXXXList and getXXXXDetails API which has all the parameters. Since, the list of parameters is long, the URL length exceeds the browser limitation and the error is thrown.

From the JSP and Servlet traces, one can see that the URL being formed is something like this:

%3C%3Fxml+version%3D%221.0%22+encoding%3D%22UTF-
8%22%3F%3E%0A%3COrder+BuyerOrganizationCode%3D%22%22+Dr
aftOrderFlag%3D%22N%22%0A++++EnterpriseCode%3D%22DEFAULT
%22+HoldFlag%3D%22N%22+MaxOrderStatusDesc%3D%22Released
%22%0A++++MultipleStatusesExist%3D%22N%22+OrderDate%3D%22
2009-10-08T17%3A38%3A06-
04%3A00%22%0A++++OrderHeaderKey%3D%2220091008173806127
41%22+OrderNo%3D%22Y100000051%22%0A++++SaleVoided%3D%
22N%22+SellerOrganizationCode%3D%22DEFAULT%22+Status%3D%
22Released%22+isHistory%3D%22N%22%3E%0A++++%3CPriceInfo+
Currency%3D%22USD%22+TotalAmount%3D%220.00%22%2F%3E%0
A%3C%2FOrder%3E%0A

On the other hand, when one clicks the hyperlink of an already present link on the list page, the URL formed is merely like this:

%3COrder+OrderHeaderKey%3D%222009100817380612741%22%2F
%3E

Both URLs mentioned above are appended to /console/order.detail?EntityKey= formed by the list page.

There is a browser limitation of a maximum URL length of 2062 (which is checked by the universal yfc.js called for all screens regardless they are popups or redirects etc.).

As internally, yfcshowDetailpopup() is calling yfcshowdetailpopupwithParams() , it is seen that when the view id (i.e. Resource Id of Detail view) is passed from the list page, it forms the correct URL, whereas when the input is passed from the search page to detail page directly, it forms a different URL.
