Error in create: Failed to decode attrValueList

Engineer TCSI,

Q:When creating CM object from the GUI why do I get the following error 
message in a popup dialog box:
        Error in create: Failed to decode attrValueList
A:It is because the attribute property called 'type' specified in  the 
NVL file for this CM object has the incorrect value in relation to the 
attribute type specified in the mosu file.
E.g, if you have the following mosu def:
CLASS SUNWorkStation: fmtoNode
{
  rw string ipAddress; 
  ...
};
And you specify it has the following NVL def:
NVL SNMPDevice
com.cpi.jweaver.meta.ClassDef SNMPDevice {
...
 com.cpi.jweaver.meta.Attribute attribute {
            String name "SNMPDevice::ipAddress"
            int type 3
            ...
  }
}
Since the 'type 3' refers to an int not a string then you will see the
error. 
Refer to the J-Weaver Reference guide (section 2.2) for the correct 
'type ?' to use. In this case it should be 'type 2' 
Below is the complete output in the gui xterm....
