Hi,

Is the AAAObject created by the server or the client?

Is the server made with our Java SDK or something else? Does it support AddNodes/AddReferences calls? (Our SDK by default has that feature turned off, since you will need to build some user authorization system to limit it to e.g. “Administrators”, otherwise anyone connecting to the server could e.g. delete any node).

Do you absolutely need to do it via the client? It is possible, assuming the server is made to support it, but it is a bit of … a pain to do. This area of the SDK could be improved a lot (however, usually clients do not add nodes). However for nodes that do not have a sub-structure of nodes it is relatively easy. And by “support it” I mean the server needs to persist that node to that sense that when the server application is restarted the node is not lost (as this is usually not the desired outcome). Additionally normally just the node is not enough, you will need to link it to some backend functionality as well.

In it’s basic form it looks like be:

Initializing all fields of the VariableAttributes might be some work, also they do need to match 1:1 for the property you are going to make. Best is if you can AddressSpace.getNode that InstanceDeclaration node for the Property from the TypeDefinition of AAAObjectType, then call UaNode.getAttributes().clone and change anything if needed and use that instead of trying to do them manually. That should ensure it is correct.

I’ll probably need to continue for the server part, but that should be enough if the server is not done with our SDK, but would supports AddNodes calls. Our Java SDK does have some handles you can listen in the server side so I’ll continue on that if that were made with our SDK.
