I have a node which description is set in the OPC UA server like this (using the SampleConsoleServer as template):
final NodeId myObjectsFolderId = new NodeId(ns, “MyObjectsFolder_OPC_Device_id”);
myObjectsFolder = createInstance(FolderTypeNode.class, “OPC_Device”, myObjectsFolderId);
myObjectsFolder.setDescription(LocalizedText.english(“I am just a simple OPC-UA capable device.”));
this.addNodeAndReference(objectsFolder, myObjectsFolder, Identifiers.Organizes);

When trying to read the “Description” attribute of a node in the Client through:

DataValue value = client.readAttribute(target, Attributes.Description); (target = my node)

The returned value is the default . However, when connecting the UaExpert client to my server, it displays my custom description. Also when reading the “Attributes.DisplayName”, the returned value is correct: “OPC_Device”, which makes me believe I am reading from the right node.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Best regards,
Ricardo
