We are validating message which have several embedded xades (BES) messages embedded.
Which previously have been vaildated as valid.
(Also the signature is embedded.)

At the moment only changes made at "Change location C" will invalidate the message.
Changes at "Change location A" and "Change location B" wont effect the validity of the message and even entire structures can be removed.
Is that the expected behaviour?
Is it possible the change the behaviour? (So that every change will invalidate the message)
The impacts of changing the XML on the validity of the signatures depends on two facts :
The URIs in the References: if you change something in the XML blob protected by a Reference this would (and MUST) invalidate your signature.
The transforms you are using in the References and the canonicalization algorithm you are using for them and for the ds:SignedInfo. For example, if you are using an Exclusive canonicalization algorithm, adding a namespace somewhere in the enveloping XML blob would not invalidate your signatures.
Hope this helps.

I'm using XML to configure log4cxx. The appender is a RollingFileAppender that outputs to a folder like yyyy/MM/dd/HHmm, and I need to know what that folder is at the end of the program.
I can't get the current yyyy/MM/dd/HHmm at runtime because that value will likely be different than it was when the log directory was created. After scanning log4cxx's documentation, I found only one function that was relevant:
log4cxx::FileAppender::getFile()
which returns the file that an appender is logging to.
The problem with that is that calls to log4cxx::Logger::getAppender() yield only AppenderPtrs- I could dynamic_cast this into a FileAppender if I know that's the ultimate type, but this introduces uncertainty into the program. Is there really no way to get the current log directory from log4cxx?
Thanks!
There is currently no(easy) way to get the name of the file that the RollingFileAppender is using.
Using Logger::getAppender() is the best way to get the correct appender that you are looking for. Since the appenders should all have unique names, there shouldn't be any issue with casting to the correct type. If you want to be safe about casting, use log4cxx::cast<FileAppender>( AppenderPtr ) which will return an invalid pointer if the object is unable to be casted to the correct type.
I am using boost test within a home-grown GUI, and want to access test results (e.g. the failure message and location when a test fails)
The unit_test::test_observer class provides the virtual method:
void assertion_result(boost::unit_test::assertion_result)
However, unit_test::assertion_result is just an enum indicating success or failure. From there, I cannot see how to access further information about the test result.
The framework also provides the class test_tools::assertion_result, which encapsulates an error message, but this only appears to be used for evaluating pre-conditions. (I would have expected this type to be the argument to unit_test::test_observer::assertion_result).
The log output classes appear to provide more information on test results. These are implemented as streams, which makes it non-trivial to extract test result data.
Does anyone know how I can access the information on test results - success/failure, the test code, the location, etc?
Adding an observer will not give you the level of details you need.
From this class you can add your own formatter using the add_formatter function. This will contain the details of what is happening and where, depending on the formatter log level.
I'm using a simple numeric text validator wxTextValidator along with a wxTextControl. I wonder what the 2nd parameter is good for:
wxTextValidator(long style = wxFILTER_NONE, wxString* valPtr = NULL)
I simply passed the reference to a member variable:
myTextControl_->SetValidator( wxTextValidator(wxFILTER_NUMERIC, &myValue_) );
I'm using wxWidgets 2.8.12, from the documentation I figured that the myValue_ variable would receive the validated content of the text control, but this does not happen in my application.
Am I doing something wrong or does the valPtr parameter not receive the content of the text control?
The myvalue_ variable should receive the value entered if you call wxValidator::Validate or wxValidator::TransferFromWindow. This happens automatically if you close the dialog with the default OnOK() handler. Otherwise you have to do it yourself.
Ravenspoint has already answered the initial question but I'd just like to add that wxValidator can be used either for validating or for data transfer -- or for both at once. In fact, some validators, such as wxGenericValidator are only used for data transfer (it doesn't make much sense to validate a check box or a radio button!). So the name of this class is somewhat misleading as it describes at most half, and probably less than that, of its uses.
At my server, we receive Self Described Messages (as defined here... which btw wasn't all that easy as there aren't any 'good' examples of this in c++).
At this point I am having no issue creating messages from these self-described ones. I can take the FileDescriptorSet, go through each FileDescriptorProto, adding each to a DescriptorPool (using BuildFile, which also gives me every defined FileDescriptor).
From here I can create any of the messages which were defined in the FileDescriptorSet with a DynamicMessageFactory instanced with the DP and calling GetPrototype (which is very easy to do as our SelfDescribedMessage required the messages full_name() and thus we can call the FindMessageTypeByName method of the DP, giving us the properly encoded Message Prototype).
The question is how can I take each already defined Descriptor or message and dynamically BUILD a 'master' message that contains all of the defined messages as nested messages. This would primarily be used for saving the current state of the messages. Currently we're handling this by just instancing a type of each message in the server(to keep a central state across different programs). But when we want to 'save off' the current state, we're forced to stream them to disk as defined here. They're streamed one message at a time (with a size prefix). We'd like to have ONE message (one to rule them all) instead of the steady stream of separate messages. This can be used for other things once it is worked out (network based shared state with optimized and easy serialization)
Since we already have the cross-linked and defined Descriptors, one would think there would be an easy way to build 'new' messages from those already defined ones. So far the solution has alluded us. We've tried creating our own DescriptorProto and adding new fields of the type from our already defined Descriptors but got lost (haven't deep dived into this one yet). We've also looked at possibly adding them as extensions (unknown at this time how to do so). Do we need to create our own DescriptorDatabase (also unknown at this time how to do so)?
Any insights?

Hopefully this explanation will help.
I am attempting to dynamically build a Message from a set of already defined Messages. The set of already defined messages are created by using the "self-described" method explained(briefly) in the official c++ protobuf tutorial (i.e. these messages not available in compiled form). This newly defined message will need to be created at runtime.
Have tried using the straight Descriptors for each message and attempted to build a FileDescriptorProto. Have tried looking at the DatabaseDescriptor methods. Both with no luck. Currently attempting to add these defined messages as an extension to another message (even tho at compile time those defined messages, and their 'descriptor-set' were not classified as extending anything) which is where the example code starts.
you need a protobuf::DynamicMessageFactory:
{
using namespace google;
protobuf::DynamicMessageFactory dmf;
protobuf::Message* actual_msg = dmf.GetPrototype(some_desc)->New();
const protobuf::Reflection* refl = actual_msg->GetReflection();
const protobuf::FieldDescriptor* fd = trip_desc->FindFieldByName("someField");
refl->SetString(actual_msg, fd, "whee");
...
cout << actual_msg->DebugString() << endl;
}
I was able to solve this problem by dynamically creating a .proto file and loading it with an Importer.
The only requirement is for each client to either send across its proto file (only needed at init... not during full execution). The server then saves each proto file to a temp directory. An alternative if possible is to just point the server to a central location that holds all of the needed proto files.
This was done by first using a DiskSourceTree to map actual path locations to in program virtual ones. Then building the .proto file to import every proto file that was sent across AND define an optional field in a 'master message'.
After the master.proto has been saved to disk, i Import it with the Importer. Now using the Importers DescriptorPool and a DynamicMessageFactory, I'm able to reliably generate the whole message under one message. I will be putting an example of what I am describing up later on tonight or tomorrow.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to make this process better or how to do it different, please say so.
I will be leaving this question unanswered up until the bounty is about to expire just in case someone else has a better solution.
What about serializing all the messages into strings, and making the master message a sequence of (byte) strings, a la
message MessageSet
{
required FileDescriptorSet proto_files = 1;
repeated bytes serialized_sub_message = 2;
}
I have been researching this, and cannot seem to find anything about it.
We work on CF8. When my coworker tried installing my latest code updates, he started seeing errors that the argument supplied to a function was not of the specified interface type. Worked fine for me. Same set up. Sometimes it works for him. Also have the problem on our dev server.
I have since been able to isolate and reproduce the problem locally.
Here is the set up.
I have 2 mappings on the server:
"webapp/" goes to c:\webroot\
"packages/" goes to c:\webroot\[domain]
Then I created an interface, call it ISubject and a component that implements it, called Person, and saved both under packages. Here is the declaration for Person:
cfcomponent implements="packages.ISubject"
Finally, there is a component, called SubjectMediator with a function, called setSubject, that wants an object of the ISubject interface type. Here is the argument declaration for setSubject:
cfargument name="subject_object" type="packages.ISubject"
To implement:
variables.person = createObject("component", "packages.Person").Init();
variables.subjectMediator = createObject("component", "packages.SubjectMediator ").Init();
variables.subjectMediator.setSubject(variables.person);
That last line throws the error that Person is not of type ISubject. If I do isInstanceOf() on Person against ISubject it validates fine.
So the reason this is happening? Dumping getMetaData(variables.person) shows me that the interface path is webapp.[domain].ISubject. And indeed, if I change the type attribute of the argument to use this path instead of packages.ISubject, all is fine again.
Coldfusion seems to be arbitrarily choosing which mapping to resolve the interface to, and then simply doing a string comparison for check the type argument?
Anyone had to contend with this? I need the webapp mapping, and I cannot change all references to "packages" to "webapp.[domain]." I also am not able in this instance to use an application-specific mapping for webapp. While any of these 3 options would circumvent the issue, I'm hoping someone has some insight...
The best I've got is to set argument type to "any" and then check isInstanceOf() inside the function... Seems like poor form.
Thanks,
Jen
Can you move the contents of the packages mapping to outside the webroot? This seems like the easiest way to fix it.
