Which IIQ version are you inquiring about?

IIQ 8.4

Please share any other relevant files that may be required (for example, logs).

The code I am running is very basic as below. The error is coming for any rule that I am running from iiq-console.
import java.util.;
import sailpoint.object.;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;

String identityname = "sp\demo.user1";
Identity identity = context.getObjectByName(Identity.class, identityname);
System.out.println("Your name is : " + identity);

Share all details about your problem, including any error messages you may have received.

When running the above simple code, getting the error as below:

Hello @spkhan

Welcome to the community!

Use String identityname = "sp\\demo.user1";
Backslashes must be escaped in Java string literals.

Or you can always put your code within

<![CDATA[your_code]]>

It prevents XML parsers from misinterpreting special characters and parse accordingly

Hi @jainanimesh,

Thank you for your response.

I have modified my code as below.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> 


<![CDATA[
import java.util.*;
import sailpoint.object.*;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;


String identityname = "sp\demo.user1";
Identity identity = context.getObjectByName(Identity.class, identityname);
System.out.println("Your name is : " + identity);

]]>
</Source>

But still getting the same error.

Hello @spkhan If you’re using Windows-style user names like sp\demo.user1, escape it like:
String identityname = "sp\\\\demo.user1";

because Java interprets \\ as a single \.
