How to relate AssetEntry and AssetCategory

Issue

• AssetEntryLocalService.getAssetCategoryAssetEntries() does not return any results for a given category.
• How should I relate AssetCategory and AssetEntry?

Environment

• DXP 7.1
• DXP 7.2
• DXP 7.3

Resolution

• AssetEntryLocalService.getAssetCategoryAssetEntries() and AssetCategoryLocalServiceUtil.getAssetEntryAssetCategories() (and related methods) were deprecated in 7.1. You should use AssetEntryAssetCategoryRelLocalService instead.
  • Note: While AssetEntryLocalService.getAssetCategoryAssetEntries() does not work at all, AssetCategoryLocalServiceUtil.getAssetEntryAssetCategories() (and related methods) might work. In any case, their use should be avoided.
• Example:

  long[] assetEntryPKs =
  _assetEntryAssetCategoryRelLocalService.getAssetEntryPrimaryKeys(assetCategoryId);
  
  for (long assetEntryPK: assetEntryPKs) {
      AssetEntry assetEntry = _assetEntryLocalService.getEntry(assetEntryPK);
      ...
  }
