QuickFix -16:[Solved] ComputedFieldMethod: Method return type of 'ExtendedDataType' is invalid; expected values(s): 'String'

While adding a computed field and creating a method for the same, getting below error for method. 

ComputedFieldMethod]:Method return type of 'ExtendedDataType' is invalid; expected values(s): 'String'

Solution: You need to double-check the method signature and it must look like below

public static server str myCal()

    {

        str mycal;

//Business logic

        return mycal;

    }
