Can someone help with getting starting using the AWS Java SDK for Personalize? I used to the console to build a Campaign. Now I want to query for recommendations using Java.
Amazon has many examples in Python, but I need Java. Starting with the client builder is especially useful.
Thanks.
To query for recommendations by using Java V2, you use the PersonalizeRuntimeClient object.
Here is an example that uses Java V2. We will have the full examples posted in Java V2 Github very soon.

I need to run my gradle task to test basic functional in the unit test:
import org.gradle.api.Project;
import org.gradle.testfixtures.ProjectBuilder;
import org.junit.Test;
public class IwillfailyouPluginTest {
#Test
public void applyPlugin() {
final Project project = ProjectBuilder.builder().build();
project.getPlugins().apply(IwillfailyouPlugin.class);
project.task("iwillfailyou").// what method should I run?
}
}
But I can not find the method to run it. Help me, please
My understanding is that ProjectBuilder is more for unit-like tests. So with what you have, you should only be asserting that a task named iwillfailyou exists, is of a certain type, and has the correct configuration.
public class IwillfailyouPluginTest {
#Test
public void applyPlugin() {
final Project project = ProjectBuilder.builder().build();
project.getPlugins().apply(IwillfailyouPlugin.class);
assertTrue(project.getTasks().getNames().contains("iwillfailyou"));
MyCustomTaskType iwillfailyou = project.getTasks().getByName("iwillfailyou");
assertEquals(123, iwillfailyou.getSomeConfig())
}
}
It looks looks you're trying to test the behavior/function of the custom task. For that sort of test, you would use TestKit.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.Writer;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import org.gradle.testkit.runner.GradleRunner;

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
class IwillfailyouPluginFunctionalTest {
#Test
void canRunTask() throws IOException {
// Setup the test build
File projectDir = new File("build/functionalTest");
Files.createDirectories(projectDir.toPath());
writeString(new File(projectDir, "settings.gradle"), "");
writeString(new File(projectDir, "build.gradle"), "plugins {" + " id('i.will.fail.you')" + "}");
// Run the build
GradleRunner runner = GradleRunner.create();
runner.forwardOutput();
runner.withPluginClasspath();
runner.withArguments("iwillfailyou");
runner.withProjectDir(projectDir);
BuildResult result = runner.build();
// Verify the result
Assertions.assertTrue(result.getOutput().contains("someoutput from the iwillfailyou task"));
}
private void writeString(File file, String string) throws IOException {
try (Writer writer = new FileWriter(file)) {
writer.write(string);
}
}
}
I'm writing a fairly simple restful web service project in Netbeans (used the Maven Web Application template). I am trying to run it on a Glassfish 4.1 server. I have used Tomcat in the past, but that's not really an option here. Basically, my problem is that I run the project, the server starts, but I just get a 404 error when I try to access the service in the browser.
Here is my source code:

}
} catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(jp.go.aist.LiMRS.LiMRService.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
}
The URL I'm using to test the service is: http://localhost:8080/LiMRS/target/http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/jurassic_park/
(I know the URL is unencoded. There are forward slashes in the 'resource' part of the URL, after "/target/", but that is taken care of by the regex in the code and is not source of the problem.)
It's possible the problem is with the server itself, I don't know if there is any special configuration that needs to be done to Glassfish or if you can just run the project outright. I don't have a web.xml file. Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think I need one. What am I missing here?
You're going to need a web.xml or a Application/ResourceConfig subclass to configure the application. If you don't want to use a web.xml, the easiest thing you can do is have an empty Application class annotated with #ApplicationPath. This will cause the registration of all #Path classes you have
#ApplicationPath("/")
public class JaxRsApplication extends Application {}
You can see more options here
I have created a web system using Java Servlets and now want to make JUnit testing. My dataManager is just a basic piece of code that submits it to the database. How would you test a Servlet with JUnit?
My code example that allows a user to register/sign up, which is submitted from my main page via AJAX:
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException{
// Get parameters
String userName = request.getParameter("username");
String password = request.getParameter("password");
String name = request.getParameter("name");
try {
// Load the database driver
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
//pass reg details to datamanager
dataManager = new DataManager();
//store result as string
String result = dataManager.register(userName, password, name);
//set response to html + no cache
response.setContentType("text/html");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
//send response with register result
response.getWriter().write(result);
} catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Exception is :" + e);
}
}
You can do this using Mockito to have the mock return the correct params, verify they were indeed called (optionally specify number of times), write the 'result' and verify it's correct.
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
import org.junit.Test;
public class TestMyServlet extends Mockito{
#Test
public void testServlet() throws Exception {
HttpServletRequest request = mock(HttpServletRequest.class);
HttpServletResponse response = mock(HttpServletResponse.class);
when(request.getParameter("username")).thenReturn("me");
when(request.getParameter("password")).thenReturn("secret");
StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(stringWriter);
when(response.getWriter()).thenReturn(writer);
new MyServlet().doPost(request, response);
verify(request, atLeast(1)).getParameter("username"); // only if you want to verify username was called...
writer.flush(); // it may not have been flushed yet...
assertTrue(stringWriter.toString().contains("My expected string"));
}
}
First off, in a real application, you would never get database connection info in a servlet; you would configure it in your app server.
There are ways, however, of testing Servlets without having a container running. One is to use mock objects. Spring provides a set of very useful mocks for things like HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse, HttpServletSession, etc:
http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/api/org/springframework/mock/web/package-summary.html
Using these mocks, you could test things like
What happens if username is not in the request?
What happens if username is in the request?
etc
You could then do stuff like:
import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.springframework.mock.web.MockHttpServletRequest;
import org.springframework.mock.web.MockHttpServletResponse;
public class MyServletTest {
private MyServlet servlet;
private MockHttpServletRequest request;
private MockHttpServletResponse response;
#Before
public void setUp() {
servlet = new MyServlet();
request = new MockHttpServletRequest();
response = new MockHttpServletResponse();
}
#Test
public void correctUsernameInRequest() throws ServletException, IOException {
request.addParameter("username", "scott");
request.addParameter("password", "tiger");
servlet.doPost(request, response);
assertEquals("text/html", response.getContentType());
// ... etc
}
}
I find Selenium tests more useful with integration or functional (end-to-end) testing. I am working with trying to use org.springframework.mock.web, but I am not very far along. I am attaching a sample controller with a jMock test suite.
First, the Controller:
package com.company.admin.web;
import javax.validation.Valid;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.validation.BindingResult;
import org.springframework.validation.ObjectError;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.SessionAttributes;
import org.springframework.web.bind.support.SessionStatus;
import com.company.admin.domain.PaymentDetail;
import com.company.admin.service.PaymentSearchService;
import com.company.admin.service.UserRequestAuditTrail;
import com.company.admin.web.form.SearchCriteria;
/**

*
* #author slgelma
*
*/
#Controller
#SessionAttributes({"user", "authorization"})
public class SearchTransactionController {
public static final String SEARCH_TRANSACTION_PAGE = "searchtransaction";
private PaymentSearchService searchService;
//private Validator searchCriteriaValidator;
private UserRequestAuditTrail notifications;
#Autowired
public void setSearchService(PaymentSearchService searchService) {
this.searchService = searchService;
}
#Autowired
public void setNotifications(UserRequestAuditTrail notifications) {
this.notifications = notifications;
}
#RequestMapping(value="/" + SEARCH_TRANSACTION_PAGE)
public String setUpTransactionSearch(Model model) {
SearchCriteria searchCriteria = new SearchCriteria();
model.addAttribute("searchCriteria", searchCriteria);
notifications.transferTo(SEARCH_TRANSACTION_PAGE);
return SEARCH_TRANSACTION_PAGE;
}
#RequestMapping(value="/" + SEARCH_TRANSACTION_PAGE, method=RequestMethod.POST, params="cancel")
public String cancelSearch() {
notifications.redirectTo(HomeController.HOME_PAGE);
return "redirect:/" + HomeController.HOME_PAGE;
}
#RequestMapping(value="/" + SEARCH_TRANSACTION_PAGE, method=RequestMethod.POST, params="execute")
public String executeSearch(
#ModelAttribute("searchCriteria") #Valid SearchCriteria searchCriteria,
BindingResult result, Model model,
SessionStatus status) {
//searchCriteriaValidator.validate(criteria, result);
if (result.hasErrors()) {
notifications.transferTo(SEARCH_TRANSACTION_PAGE);
return SEARCH_TRANSACTION_PAGE;
} else {
PaymentDetail payment =
searchService.getAuthorizationFor(searchCriteria.geteWiseTransactionId());
if (payment == null) {
ObjectError error = new ObjectError(
"eWiseTransactionId", "Transaction not found");
result.addError(error);
model.addAttribute("searchCriteria", searchCriteria);
notifications.transferTo(SEARCH_TRANSACTION_PAGE);
return SEARCH_TRANSACTION_PAGE;
} else {
model.addAttribute("authorization", payment);
notifications.redirectTo(PaymentDetailController.PAYMENT_DETAIL_PAGE);
return "redirect:/" + PaymentDetailController.PAYMENT_DETAIL_PAGE;
}
}
}
}

response.getMimicState().getBodyContentAsString());
}
}
Notes:
Each "mimic" has a "mimicState" object for its logical state. This provides a clear distinction between the Servlet API methods and the configuration and inspection of the mimic's internal state.
You might be surprised that the check of Content-Type includes "charset=ISO-8859-1". However, for the given "doPost" code this is as per the Servlet API Javadoc, and the HttpServletResponse's own getContentType method, and the actual Content-Type header produced on e.g. Glassfish 3. You might not realise this if using normal mock objects and your own expectations of the API's behaviour. In this case it probably doesn't matter, but in more complex cases this is the sort of unanticipated API behaviour that can make a bit of a mockery of mocks!
I've used response.getMimicState().getContentType() as the simplest way to check Content-Type and illustrate the above point, but you could indeed check for "text/html" on its own if you wanted (using response.getMimicState().getContentTypeMimeType()). Checking the Content-Type header the same way as for the Cache-Control header also works.
For this example the response content is checked as character data (with this using the Writer's encoding). We could also check that the response's Writer was used rather than its OutputStream (using response.getMimicState().isWritingCharacterContent()), but I've taken it that we're only concerned with the resulting output, and don't care what API calls produced it (though that could be checked too...). It's also possible to retrieve the response's body content as bytes, examine the detailed state of the Writer/OutputStream etc.
There are full details of ObMimic and a free download at the OpenBrace website. Or you can contact me if you have any questions (contact details are on the website).
EDIT: Cactus is now a dead project: http://attic.apache.org/projects/jakarta-cactus.html
You may want to look at cactus.
http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/
Project Description
Cactus is a simple test framework for unit testing server-side java code (Servlets, EJBs, Tag Libs, Filters, ...).
The intent of Cactus is to lower the cost of writing tests for server-side code. It uses JUnit and extends it.
Cactus implements an in-container strategy, meaning that tests are executed inside the container.
Another approach would be to create an embedded server to "host" your servlet, allowing you to write calls against it with libraries meant to make calls to actual servers (the usefulness of this approach somewhat depends on how easily you can make "legitimate" programatic calls to the server - I was testing a JMS (Java Messaging Service) access point, for which clients abound).
There are a couple of different routes you can go - the usual two are tomcat and jetty.
Warning: something to be mindful of when choosing the server to embed is the version of servlet-api you are using (the library which provides classes like HttpServletRequest). If you are using 2.5, I found Jetty 6.x to work well (which is the example I'll give below). If you're using servlet-api 3.0, the tomcat-7 embedded stuff seems to be a good option, however I had to abandon my attempt to use it, as the application I was testing used servlet-api 2.5. Trying to mix the two will result in NoSuchMethod and other such exceptions when attempting to configure or start the server.
You can set up such a server like this (Jetty 6.1.26, servlet-api 2.5):
public void startServer(int port, Servlet yourServletInstance){
Server server = new Server(port);
Context root = new Context(server, "/", Context.SESSIONS);
root.addServlet(new ServletHolder(yourServletInstance), "/servlet/context/path");
//If you need the servlet context for anything, such as spring wiring, you coudl get it like this
//ServletContext servletContext = root.getServletContext();
server.start();

Use Selenium for webbased unit tests. There's a Firefox plugin called Selenium IDE which can record actions on the webpage and export to JUnit testcases which uses Selenium RC to run the test server.
First you should probably refactor this a bit so that the DataManager is not created in the doPost code.. you should try Dependency Injection to get an instance. (See the Guice video for a nice intro to DI.). If you're being told to start unit testing everything, then DI is a must-have.
Once your dependencies are injected you can test your class in isolation.
To actually test the servlet, there are other older threads that have discussed this.. try here and here.
public class WishServletTest {
WishServlet wishServlet;
HttpServletRequest mockhttpServletRequest;
HttpServletResponse mockhttpServletResponse;
#Before
public void setUp(){
wishServlet=new WishServlet();
mockhttpServletRequest=createNiceMock(HttpServletRequest.class);
mockhttpServletResponse=createNiceMock(HttpServletResponse.class);
}
#Test
public void testService()throws Exception{
File file= new File("Sample.txt");
File.createTempFile("ashok","txt");
expect(mockhttpServletRequest.getParameter("username")).andReturn("ashok");
expect(mockhttpServletResponse.getWriter()).andReturn(new PrintWriter(file));
replay(mockhttpServletRequest);
replay(mockhttpServletResponse);
wishServlet.doGet(mockhttpServletRequest, mockhttpServletResponse);
FileReader fileReader=new FileReader(file);
int count = 0;
String str = "";
while ( (count=fileReader.read())!=-1){
str=str+(char)count;
}
Assert.assertTrue(str.trim().equals("Helloashok"));
verify(mockhttpServletRequest);
verify(mockhttpServletResponse);
}
}
