Changing WS API from Play Framework! 2.4 to 2.5 - web-services

With Playframework! 2.5 the result of a WS request is now a CompletionStage<WSResponse>.
CompletionStage <WSResponse> completionStage = ws.url("http://url/enewsletter/signupAuto.aspx")
.setRequestTimeout(2500)
.setQueryParameter("email", user.getEmail())
.get();
CompletionStage <String> resultPromise = completionStage.thenApply(WSResponse::getBody);
//String result = responsePromise.get(2500).getBody();
String result = ""; // ?????
I could easy get the result from the promise in before using the F.Promise<WSReponse> but I don't see to get how to get the result with CompletionStage. I need the result for processing before continuing the procedure.
The reason I like to have the result is that this function is performed in a 'for' loop gathering information which then is returned.

I think I found it in:
completionStage.toCompletableFuture();

Calling a Web Service (containg multiple pages) does not load all the pages (without an added sleep delay)

My question is about a strange behavious I notice both on my iPhone device and the codenameone simulator (NetBeans).
I invoke the following code below which calls a google web service to provide a list of food places around a GPS coordinate:
The web service that is called is as follows (KEY OBSCURED):
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=40.714353,-74.00597299999998&radius=200&types=food&key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Each result contains the next page token and thus, the second call (for the subsequent page) is as follows:
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=40.714353,-74.00597299999998&radius=200&types=food&key=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&pagetoken=YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
public static byte[] getWSResponseData(String urlString, boolean usePost)
{
ConnectionRequest r = new ConnectionRequest();
r.setUrl(urlString);
r.setPost(usePost);
InfiniteProgress prog = new InfiniteProgress();
Dialog dlg = prog.showInifiniteBlocking();
r.setDisposeOnCompletion(dlg);
NetworkManager.getInstance().addToQueueAndWait(r);
try
{
Thread.sleep(2000);
}
catch (InterruptedException ex)
{
}
byte[] responseData = r.getResponseData();
return responseData;
}
public static void getLocationsList(double lat, double lng)
{
boolean done = false;
while (!done)
{
byte[] responseData = getWSResponseData(finalURL,false);
result = Result.fromContent(parser.parseJSON(new InputStreamReader(new ByteArrayInputStream(responseData))));
String venueNames[] = result.getAsStringArray("/results/name");
nextToken = result.getAsString("/next_page_token");
if ( nextToken == null || nextToken.equals(""))
done = true;
else
finalURL = completeURL + "&pagetoken=" + nextToken;
}
.....
}
This code works fine with the sleep timer, but when I remove the Thread.sleep, only the first page gets called.
Any help would be appreciated.
Using the debugger does not help as this is a timing issue and the issue does not occur when using the debugger.
Also when I put some print statements into the code
while (!done)
{
String nextToken = null;
**System.out.println(finalURL);**
...
}
System.out.println("Total Number of entries returned: " + itemCount);
I get the following output:
First Run (WITHOUT SLEEP):
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=40.714353,-74.00597299999998&radius=200&types=food&key=XXXXXXXX
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=40.714353,-74.00597299999998&radius=200&types=food&key=XXXXXXXX&pagetoken=CqQCF...
Total Number of entries returned: 20
Using the network monitor I see that the response to the second WS call returns:
{
"html_attributions" : [],
"results" : [],
"status" : "INVALID_REQUEST"
}
Which is strange as when I cut and paste the WS URL into my browser, it works fine...
Second Run (WITH SLEEP):
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=40.714353,-74.00597299999998&radius=200&types=food&key=XXXXXXXXX
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=40.714353,-74.00597299999998&radius=200&types=food&key=XXXXXXXXX&pagetoken=CqQCFQEAA...
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=40.714353,-74.00597299999998&radius=200&types=food&key=XXXXXXXXX&pagetoken=CsQDtQEAA...
Total Number of entries returned: 60
Well it seems to be a google API issue as indicated here:
Paging on Google Places API returns status INVALID_REQUEST
I still could not get it to work by changing the WS URL with a random parameter as they suggested, but I will keep trying and post something here if I get it to work. For now I will just keep a 2 second delay between the calls which seems to work.
Well gave up on using the google WS for this and switched to Yelp, works very well:
https://api.yelp.com/v3/businesses/search?.....

Replacing value of a member in rapidjson

I am currently working on a project in C++ using rapidjson.
My program receives some JSON data on a socket which includes some authentication details. I log the incoming message, but I want to hide the password so it can't be seen in the log file. So I am trying to get the JSON object, and replace each character of the string and put this replaced string back into the json object where the password was.
Below is the code that I have:
rapidjson::Document jsonObject;
jsonObject.Parse(command.c_str());
string method = jsonObject["method"].GetString();
if (jsonObject.HasMember("sshDetails"))
{
Value& sshDetails = jsonObject["sshDetails"];
string sshPassword = sshDetails["sshPassword"].GetString();
for (int i = 0; i < sshPassword.length(); i++)
{
sshPassword[i] = '*';
}
rapidjson::Value::Member* sshPasswordMember = sshDetails.FindMember("sshPassword");
sshPasswordMember->name.SetString(sshPassword.c_str(), jsonObject.GetAllocator());
//Convert it back to a string
rapidjson::StringBuffer buffer;
buffer.Clear();
rapidjson::Writer<rapidjson::StringBuffer>writer(buffer);
Document jsonDoc;
jsonDoc.Accept(writer);
string jsonString = string(buffer.GetString());
I'm getting an error on the following line:
rapidjson::Value::Member* sshPasswordMember = sshDetails.FindMember("sshPassword");
The error I am getting is:
No suitable conversion function from rapidjson::GenericMemberIterator<false, rapidjson::UTF8<char>, rapidjson::MemoryPoolAllocator<rapidjson::CtrlAllocator>> to rapidjson::GenericMember::UTF8<char>, myProject...SocketProcessor.cpp
rapidjson::MemoryPoolAllocator<rapidjson::CtrlAllocator>>*exists
I took the above from an example on another question on SO which was an accepted answer from rapidjson - change key to another value, so what am I missing.
I've managed to find the answer to this with a bit of playing round and luck.
I changed
rapidjson::Value::Member* sshPasswordMember = sshDetails.FindMember("sshPassword");
sshPasswordMember->name.SetString(sshPassword.c_str(), jsonObject.GetAllocator());
to be
rapidjson::Value::MemberIterator sshPasswordMember = sshDetails.FindMember("sshPassword");
sshPasswordMember->value.SetString(sshPassword.c_str(), jsonObject.GetAllocator());
using rapidjson in my project I found out that many of such problems can be omitted by the use of auto instead of specifying the type

OnvifClientPTZ onvif c++ unable to get configuration options

tt__Profile *t = profiles.Profiles.at(0);
OnvifClientPTZ PTZ(onvifDevice);
_tptz__GetConfigurationOptions tptz__GetConfigurationOptions;
_tptz__GetConfigurationOptionsResponse tptz__GetConfigurationOptionsResponse;
tt__PTZConfigurationOptions *options;
int response = PTZ.GetConfigurationOptions(tptz__GetConfigurationOptionsResponse, t->token);
Problem is that PTZ#GetConfigurationOptions returns value of 1 (#response).
Object #onvifDevice seems to be fine (onvifDevice.hasPTZ returns true).
I've tried debugging and onvifDevice.GetPTZUrl(strUrl) returns true and sets strUrl to 192.168.1.88:2000/device/services which is soap_endpoint of PtzProxy object (ptzProxy.soap_endpoint = strUrl.c_str();) and it seems to be fine. Also soap_action is "www.onvif.org/ver20/ptz/wsdl/GetConfigurationOptions" which also seems to be fine.
I'm using https://github.com/xsmart/onvifcpplib.
In PTZ proxy returns here:
tptz__GetConfigurationOptionsResponse->soap_get(soap, "tptz:GetConfigurationOptionsResponse", "");
if (soap->error)
return soap_recv_fault(soap, 0);
Any help would be appreciated.
I've found the solution. Problem was in this line:
int response = PTZ.GetConfigurationOptions(tptz__GetConfigurationOptionsResponse, t->token);
OnvifPTZClient#GetConfigurationOptions requests PTZConfiguration token, not profile token. So correct line would be:
response = PTZ.GetConfigurationOptions(tptz__GetConfigurationOptionsResponse, tr->PTZConfiguration->token);

Some Problems of Indy 10 IdHTTP Implementation

In regard to Indy 10 of IdHTTP, many things have been running perfectly, but there are a few things that don't work so well here. That is why, once again, I need your help.
Download button has been running perfectly. I'm using the following code :
void __fastcall TForm1::DownloadClick(TObject *Sender)
{
MyFile = SaveDialog->FileName;
TFileStream* Fist = new TFileStream(MyFile, fmCreate | fmShareDenyNone);
Download->Enabled = false;
Urlz = Edit1->Text;
Url->Caption = Urlz;
try
{
IdHTTP->Get(Edit1->Text, Fist);
IdHTTP->Connected();
IdHTTP->Response->ResponseCode = 200;
IdHTTP->ReadTimeout = 70000;
IdHTTP->ConnectTimeout = 70000;
IdHTTP->ReuseSocket;
Fist->Position = 0;
}
__finally
{
delete Fist;
Form1->Updated();
}
}
However, a "Cancel Resume" button is still can't resume interrupted downloads. Meant, it is always sending back the entire file every time I call Get() though I've used IdHTTP->Request->Ranges property.
I use the following code:
void __fastcall TForm1::CancelResumeClick(TObject *Sender)
{
MyFile = SaveDialog->FileName;;
TFileStream* TFist = new TFileStream(MyFile, fmCreate | fmShareDenyNone);
if (IdHTTP->Connected() == true)
{
IdHTTP->Disconnect();
CancelResume->Caption = "RESUME";
IdHTTP->Response->AcceptRanges = "Bytes";
}
else
{
try {
CancelResume->Caption = "CANCEL";
// IdHTTP->Request->Ranges == "0-100";
// IdHTTP->Request->Range = Format("bytes=%d-",ARRAYOFCONST((TFist->Position)));
IdHTTP->Request->Ranges->Add()->StartPos = TFist->Position;
IdHTTP->Get(Edit1->Text, TFist);
IdHTTP->Request->Referer = Edit1->Text;
IdHTTP->ConnectTimeout = 70000;
IdHTTP->ReadTimeout = 70000;
}
__finally {
delete TFist;
}
}
Meanwhile, by using the FormatBytes function, found here, has been able to shows only the size of download files. But still unable to determine the speed of download or transfer speed.
I'm using the following code:
void __fastcall TForm1::IdHTTPWork(TObject *ASender, TWorkMode AWorkMode, __int64 AWorkCount)
{
__int64 Romeo = 0;
Romeo = IdHTTP->Response->ContentStream->Position;
// Romeo = AWorkCount;
Download->Caption = FormatBytes(Romeo) + " (" + IntToStr(Romeo) + " Bytes)";
ForSpeed->Caption = FormatBytes(Romeo);
ProgressBar->Position = AWorkCount;
ProgressBar->Update();
Form1->Updated();
}
Please advise and give an example. Any help would sure be appreciated!
In your DownloadClick() method:
Calling Connected() is useless, since you don't do anything with the result. Nor is there any guarantee that the connection will remain connected, as the server could send a Connection: close response header. I don't see anything in your code that is asking for HTTP keep-alives. Let TIdHTTP manage the connection for you.
You are forcing the Response->ResponseCode to 200. Don't do that. Respect the response code that the server actually sent. The fact that no exception was raised means the response was successful whether it is 200 or 206.
You are reading the ReuseSocket property value and ignoring it.
There is no need to reset the Fist->Position property to 0 before closing the file.
Now, with that said, your CancelResumeClick() method has many issues.
You are using the fmCreate flag when opening the file. If the file already exists, you will overwrite it from scratch, thus TFist->Position will ALWAYS be 0. Use fmOpenReadWrite instead so an existing file will open as-is. And then you have to seek to the end of the file to provide the correct Position to the Ranges header.
You are relying on the socket's Connected() state to make decisions. DO NOT do that. The connection may be gone after the previous response, or may have timed out and been closed before the new request is made. The file can still be resumed either way. HTTP is stateless. It does not matter if the socket remains open between requests, or is closed in between. Every request is self-contained. Use information provided in the previous response to govern the next request. Not the socket state.
You are modifying the value of the Response->AcceptRanges property, instead of using the value provided by the previous response. The server tells you if the file supports resuming, so you have to remember that value, or query it before then attempting to resumed download.
When you actually call Get(), the server may or may not respect the requested Range, depending on whether the requested file supports byte ranges or not. If the server responds with a response code of 206, the requested range is accepted, and the server sends ONLY the requested bytes, so you need to APPEND them to your existing file. However, if the server response with a response code of 200, the server is sending the entire file from scratch, so you need to REPLACE your existing file with the new bytes. You are not taking that into account.
In your IdHTTPWork() method, in order to calculate the download/transfer speed, you have to keep track of how many bytes are actually being transferred in between each event firing. When the event is fired, save the current AWorkCount and tick count, and then the next time the event is fired, you can compare the new AWorkCount and current ticks to know how much time has elapsed and how many bytes were transferred. From those value, you can calculate the speed, and even the estimated time remaining.
As for your progress bar, you can't use AWorkCount alone to calculate a new position. That only works if you set the progress bar's Max to AWorkCountMax in the OnWorkBegin event, and that value is not always know before a download begins. You need to take into account the size of the file being downloaded, whether it is being downloaded fresh or being resumed, how many bytes are being requested during a resume, etc. So there is lot more work involved in displaying a progress bar for a HTTP download.
Now, to answer your two questions:
How to retrieve and save the download file to a disk by using its original name?
It is provided by the server in the filename parameter of the Content-Disposition header, and/or in the name parameter of the Content-Type header. If neither value is provided by the server, you can use the filename that is in the URL you are requesting. TIdHTTP has a URL property that provides the parsed version of the last requested URL.
However, since you are creating the file locally before sending your download request, you will have to create a local file using a temp filename, and then rename the local file after the download is complete. Otherwise, use TIdHTTP.Head() to determine the real filename (you can also use it to determine if resuming is supported) before creating the local file with that filename, then use TIdHTTP.Get() to download to that local file. Otherwise, download the file to memory using TMemoryStream instead of TFileStream, and then save with the desired filename when complete.
when I click http://get.videolan.org/vlc/2.2.1/win32/vlc-2.2.1-win32.exe then the server will process requests to its actual url. http://mirror.vodien.com/videolan/vlc/2.2.1/win32/vlc-2.2.1-win32.exe. The problem is that IdHTTP will not automatically grab through it.
That is because VideoLan is not using an HTTP redirect to send clients to the real URL (TIdHTTP supports HTTP redirects). VideoLan is using an HTML redirect instead (TIdHTTP does not support HTML redirects). When a webbrowser downloads the first URL, a 5 second countdown timer is displayed before the real download then begins. As such, you will have to manually detect that the server is sending you an HTML page instead of the real file (look at the TIdHTTP.Response.ContentType property for that), parse the HTML to determine the real URL, and then download it. This also means that you cannot download the first URL directly into your target local file, otherwise you will corrupt it, especially during a resume. You have to cache the server's response first, either to a temp file or to memory, so you can analyze it before deciding how to act on it. It also means you have to remember the real URL for resuming, you cannot resume the download using the original countdown URL.
Try something more like the following instead. It does not take into account for everything mentioned above (particularly speed/progress tracking, HTML redirects, etc), but should get you a little closer:
void __fastcall TForm1::DownloadClick(TObject *Sender)
{
Urlz = Edit1->Text;
Url->Caption = Urlz;
IdHTTP->Head(Urlz);
String FileName = IdHTTP->Response->RawHeaders->Params["Content-Disposition"]["filename"];
if (FileName.IsEmpty())
{
FileName = IdHTTP->Response->RawHeaders->Params["Content-Type"]["name"];
if (FileName.IsEmpty())
FileName = IdHTTP->URL->Document;
}
SaveDialog->FileName = FileName;
if (!SaveDialog->Execute()) return;
MyFile = SaveDialog->FileName;
TFileStream* Fist = new TFileStream(MyFile, fmCreate | fmShareDenyWrite);
try
{
try
{
Download->Enabled = false;
Resume->Enabled = false;
IdHTTP->Request->Clear();
//...
IdHTTP->ReadTimeout = 70000;
IdHTTP->ConnectTimeout = 70000;
IdHTTP->Get(Urlz, Fist);
}
__finally
{
delete Fist;
Download->Enabled = true;
Updated();
}
}
catch (const EIdHTTPProtocolException &)
{
DeleteFile(MyFile);
throw;
}
}
void __fastcall TForm1::ResumeClick(TObject *Sender)
{
TFileStream* Fist = new TFileStream(MyFile, fmOpenReadWrite | fmShareDenyWrite);
try
{
Download->Enabled = false;
Resume->Enabled = false;
IdHTTP->Request->Clear();
//...
Fist->Seek(0, soEnd);
IdHTTP->Request->Ranges->Add()->StartPos = Fist->Position;
IdHTTP->Request->Referer = Edit1->Text;
IdHTTP->ConnectTimeout = 70000;
IdHTTP->ReadTimeout = 70000;
IdHTTP->Get(Urlz, Fist);
}
__finally
{
delete Fist;
Download->Enabled = true;
Updated();
}
}
void __fastcall TForm1::IdHTTPHeadersAvailable(TObject*Sender, TIdHeaderList *AHeaders, bool &VContinue)
{
Resume->Enabled = ( ((IdHTTP->Response->ResponseCode == 200) || (IdHTTP->Response->ResponseCode == 206)) && TextIsSame(AHeaders->Values["Accept-Ranges"], "bytes") );
if ((IdHTTP->Response->ContentStream) && (IdHTTP->Request->Ranges->Count > 0) && (IdHTTP->Response->ResponseCode == 200))
IdHTTP->Response->ContentStream->Size = 0;
}
#Romeo:
Also, you can try a following function to determine the real download filename.
I've translated this to C++ based on the RRUZ'function. So far so good, I'm using it on my simple IdHTTP download program, too.
But, this translation result is of course still need value improvement input from Remy Lebeau, RRUZ, or any other master here.
String __fastcall GetRemoteFileName(const String URI)
{
String result;
try
{
TIdHTTP* HTTP = new TIdHTTP(NULL);
try
{
HTTP->Head(URI);
result = HTTP->Response->RawHeaders->Params["Content-Disposition"]["filename"];
if (result.IsEmpty())
{
result = HTTP->Response->RawHeaders->Params["Content-Type"]["name"];
if (result.IsEmpty())
result = HTTP->URL->Document;
}
}
__finally
{
delete HTTP;
}
}
catch(const Exception &ex)
{
ShowMessage(const_cast<Exception&>(ex).ToString());
}
return result;
}

Unable to set Reporting Services Parameters

I'm generating a reporting services report from an ASP.NET (MVC) based application but am having problems setting the parameters for the report.
I believe the issue has only occurred since we upgraded SQL Server from 2005 to 2008 R2 (and Reporting Services along with it).
The original error encountered was from calling rsExec.Render:
Procedure or function 'pCommunication_ReturnRegistrationLetterDetails'
expects parameter '#guid', which was not supplied.
Debugging the code I noticed that rsExec.SetExecutionParameters is returning the following response:
Cannot call 'NameOfApp.SQLRSExec.ReportExecutionService.SetExecutionParameters(NameOfApp.SQLRSExec.ParameterValue[],
string)' because it is a web method.
Here is the function in it's entirety:
public static bool ProduceReportToFile(string reportname, string filename, string[,] reportparams,
string fileformat)
{
bool successful = false;
SQLRS.ReportingService2005 rs = new SQLRS.ReportingService2005();
SQLRSExec.ReportExecutionService rsExec = new NameOfApp.SQLRSExec.ReportExecutionService();
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
rsExec.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
// Prepare Render arguments
string historyID = null;
string deviceInfo = null;
// Prepare format - available options are "PDF","Word","CSV","TIFF","XML","EXCEL"
string format = fileformat;
Byte[] results;
string encoding = String.Empty;
string mimeType = String.Empty;
string extension = String.Empty;
SQLRSExec.Warning[] warnings = null;
string[] streamIDs = null;
// Define variables needed for GetParameters() method
// Get the report name
string _reportName = reportname;
string _historyID = null;
bool _forRendering = false;
SQLRS.ParameterValue[] _values = null;
SQLRS.DataSourceCredentials[] _credentials = null;
SQLRS.ReportParameter[] _parameters = null;
// Get if any parameters needed.
_parameters = rs.GetReportParameters(_reportName, _historyID,
_forRendering, _values, _credentials);
// Load the selected report.
SQLRSExec.ExecutionInfo ei =
rsExec.LoadReport(_reportName, historyID);
// Prepare report parameter.
// Set the parameters for the report needed.
SQLRSExec.ParameterValue[] parameters =
new SQLRSExec.ParameterValue[1];
// Place to include the parameter.
if (_parameters.Length > 0)
{
for (int i = 0; i < _parameters.Length; i++)
{
parameters[i] = new SQLRSExec.ParameterValue();
parameters[i].Label = reportparams[i,0];
parameters[i].Name = reportparams[i, 0];
parameters[i].Value = reportparams[i, 1];
}
}
rsExec.SetExecutionParameters(parameters, "en-us");
results = rsExec.Render(format, deviceInfo,
out extension, out encoding,
out mimeType, out warnings, out streamIDs);
// Create a file stream and write the report to it
using (FileStream stream = System.IO.File.OpenWrite(filename))
{
stream.Write(results, 0, results.Length);
}
successful = true;
return successful;
}
Any ideas why I'm now unable to set parameters? The report generation works without issue if parameters aren't required.
Looks like it may have been an issue with how reporting services passes parameters through to the stored procedure providing the data. A string guid was being passed through to the report and the stored procedure expected a varchar guid. I suspect reporting services may have been noticing the string followed the guid format pattern and so passed it through as a uniqueidentifier to the stored procedure.
I changed the data source for the report from "stored procedure" to "text" and set the SQL as "EXEC pMyStoredOProcName #guid".
Please note the guid being passed in as a string to the stored procedure is probably not best practice... I was simply debugging an issue with another developers code.
Parameter _reportName cannot be null or empty. The [CLASSNAME].[METHODNAME]() reflection API could not create and return the SrsReportNameAttribute object
In this specific case it looks like an earlier full compile did not finish.
If you encounter this problem I would suggest that you first compile the class mentioned in the error message and see if this solves the problem.
go to AOT (get Ctrl+D)
in classes find CLASSNAME
3.compile it (F7)
