Encoding of spaces in POJO parameters in Axis2 - web-services

I have created a very simple service that just echos some text to the console. The service is just a POJO with a method echo, having a single parameter:
public class EchoTest
{
public void echo(String myMessage)
{
System.out.println(myMessage);
}
}
Ths is from the services.xml:
<service name="EchoTest">
<description>Echo test</description>
<parameter name="ServiceClass">EchoTest</parameter>
<operation name="echo">
<messageReceiver class="org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCMessageReceiver" />
</operation>
</service>
Further I use a very simple HTML form to submit the data to the service:
<html>
<body>
<form method="post" target="responseFrame" action="../../services/EchoTest/echo">
<input name="myMessage" type="text">
<input value="Send" type="submit"/>
</form>
<iframe width=500 height=500 name="responseFrame"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
The problem I have is that spaces are replaced with '+'. For example, if I type a message like this:
Hey you & you - # % #
The result is this:
Hey+you+&+you+-+#+%+#
Do I have to encode it somehow or or should it not behave like this? Or perhaps it is a setup issue? I am using Tomcat as a web container. For information, I use a servlet filter in Tomcat to e.g. filter on IP addresses, and in there I can see that the myMessage parameter looks OK, not having + signs.

It turns out that the problem was in fact within Axis2 itself. I am not sure exactly, but the version that I was using was release 1.5.1 from October 2009. What bugs me is that I have not found any bug report on it. It could be that it was fixed quickly and that I was unfortunate.
Upgrading to a the latest version of Axis2 solved the problem.

Mandrill in ColdFusion

I am trying to use Mandrill with ColdFusion 6.1. ColdFusion is not one of Mandrell's supported languages. I am pretty sure I need to use cfhttp and Post. Are there any resources or example to help me along.
I'm surprised that no one has released a CFC yet (and had previously tweeted about it), but the API is pretty simple. For example, you can communicate to Mandrill directly using javascript.
https://bitbucket.org/mailchimp/mandrill-api-js/
Mandril uses a restful API. Here's a link to the full documentation:
https://mandrillapp.com/api/docs/
In order to send a message, you need to POST a JSON packet using your own API key. (In the demo link, you can modify the JSON and click the "try it" button to send a test message.)
https://mandrillapp.com/api/docs/messages.JSON.html#method-send
You may need to manually generate your own JSON as ColdFusion tends to convert numbers and boolean values into strings.
You can simply use a cfmail tag and set the smtp username and password to the values provided by Mandrill. They have a full set of documentation on using SMTP with Mandrill.
Here's some sample code:
<cfmail
from="you#you.com"
subject="Your subject line"
to="him#him.com"
type="HTML"
server="smtp.mandrillapp.com"
port="587"
username="yourusername"
password="yourkey"
>
<cfmailparam name="X-MC-Tags" value="Some tag to track in Mandrill" />
<cfmailparam name="X-MC-Track" value="opens,clicks" />
<cfmailparam name="X-MC-Autotext" value="false" />
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
</style>
</head>
<body>
A whole lot of body content goes here.

</cfmail>

Cas Ticket Issue in Jmeter

I have a web application which uses CAS Ticket for user authentication purpose which is different for every login. I recorded the script in JMeter. Also I correlated the pages by filling up the Regular Expression Extractor as follows:
Recorded script has url: https://foo.com/j_spring_cas_security_check?ticket=ST-3101-QDTyjbbHoOHvgPMdRBIg-cas.
After applying all above I ran the script but got status fail displaying https://foo.com/j_spring_cas_security_check?ticket=Ticket_Not_Found.
It would be very helpful if someone could tell me what did I miss in my script?
There is two ways for this,
if you have multiple username and password and you can use those with Jmeter,
you can use those to generate CAS ST(Service ticket).
Another:
default when CAS create ticket, it can be just used for one time.
you have to change values in ticketExpirationPolicies.xml of your cas server
to use same ticket multiple times.
default location is:
WEB_INF/spring-configuration/ticketExpirationPolicies.xml
change this to if you want 50 users to use same ticket
<!-- This argument is the time a ticket can exist before its considered expired. -->
<constructor-arg
index="1"
value="100000" />
</bean>
<bean id="grantingTicketExpirationPolicy" class="org.jasig.cas.ticket.support.TimeoutExpirationPolicy">
<!-- This argument is the time a ticket can exist before its considered expired. -->
<constructor-arg
index="0"
value="7200000" />
</bean>
Answer given by: VIVEK ADHIKARI
It seems that an error happened when fetching ticket value from url's parameter list. Maybe you can add a hidden field on your page and set its value from this parameter.
<input type="hidden" id="ticket_key" value="ST-3101-QDTyjbbHoOHvgPMdRBIg-cas" />
Then you can get it by Regular Extractor ticket_key=(.+)
Hope it helps.

ASP.Net login control will not work with Intelligencia.UrlRewriter

I hope someone can help me shed some light on this nightmare I'm having...!
I have just complete an ASP.Net e-commerce website with the help of an Apress book; The BalloonShop project, some of you might already know the one.
Everything is fine and dandy apart from one niggle that I cant seen to sort out!
I cannot logout from my site using the asp.net login control from any page that does not have the .aspx extension in the Url. This is namely; Departments, Category and Products as these are using the Intelligencia.UrlRewriter to provide browser friendly url's.
My url's are rewritten perfectly, but when I try to logout from a page that is using the url rewriter it does not work, and I receive the following message in my error log email:
Exception generated on 22 February 2013, at 22:23

I am also using IIS7 on my local machine, and have read that this can sometimes be the cause re: AppPool version. I have tried changing this to Classic ASP as suggested, but this did not work for me!
Does anyone know if this is a common problem when hosting on local machine and using Intelligencia.UrlRewriter? Would this possibly not be an issue if hosting on a shared web hosting server?
If I'm way off the mark then please forgive my naivety, as I am still quite new to this, especially projects of this size.
Thanks for you help!!
If you want to use url rooting you can use this codes. I use it also an e-commerce project:
in Global.asax file :
void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (RouteTable.Routes.Count <= 0)
{
RouteTable.Routes.Add("Urun", new Route("Urun/{category}/{name}/{prid}/{caid}", new PageRouteHandler("~/ProductDetail.aspx")));
RouteTable.Routes.Add("Kategori", new Route("Kategori/{upper}/{name}/{caid}", new PageRouteHandler("~/Categories.aspx")));
RouteTable.Routes.Add("Icerik", new Route("Icerik/{name}/{cpid}", new PageRouteHandler("~/ContentPage.aspx")));
}
}
And you can this codes wherever you want to give link:
var param = new RouteValueDictionary
{
{"category", "Oyuncak"},
{"prid", ((DiscountProductsResult) e.Item.DataItem).ProductId},
{"name", ((DiscountProductsResult) e.Item.DataItem).UrlView.Replace(" ", "-")},
{"caid", 0}
};
VirtualPathData path = RouteTable.Routes.GetVirtualPath(null, "Urun", param);
And you can get querystring values like this:
RouteData.Values["caid"]

Change message name

Here is the part of my WSDL. I'm using the code first approach.
<portType name="MyWebService">
<operation name="echoString"/>
<input message="echoString"/>
<output message="echoStringResponse"/>
</operation>
</portType>
What annotation should I add or change so to change this
<input message="echoString"/>
to read as
<input message="echoStringRequest"/>
Thanks all.
I am quite surprised myself, but after trying for a while I looked into the spec and it seems you cannot really do this in jax-ws (except in a non-standard way, depending on the implementation). Here is what the jax-ws 2.0 specification says on this issue. See Java to WSDL 1.1 Mapping, Section 3.5, page 32:
The value of a wsdl:message element’s name attribute is not
significant but by convention it is normally equal to the
corresponding operation name for input messages and the operation name
concatenated with “Response” for output messages. Naming of fault
messages is described in section section 3.7.
So the only option that comes to my mind is to rename your operation, for example by changing or adding a #WebMethod annotation. Here is an example:
#WebMethod(operationName = "echoStringRequest")
public String echoString(String echoStringRequest) {
return echoStringRequest;
}
This will generate the following portType:
<portType name="MyWebService">
<operation name="echoStringRequest">
<input message="tns:echoStringRequest"></input>
<output message="tns:echoStringRequestResponse"></output>
</operation>
</portType>
The decision of whether you are more happy with this version is up to you.
I've encountered this problem myself recently and stumbled upon this thread multiple times. In our application we have a JAX-WS servlet which must use the format of ...Request and ...Response.
After a few days of searching, I found the solution.
Let's say your echoStringRequest has one String property that should be echoed back in the response.
class EchoMessage {
private String message;
//add getter and setter
}
First add this annotation to the web service class:
#SOAPBinding(parameterStyle = SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.BARE)
Then annotate your web service method like this:
#WebMethod
#WebResult(name = "echoStringResponse")
public EchoMessage echoString (#WebParam(name = "echoStringRequest") EchoMessage inputMessage) {
...
}
Without the parameterStyle BARE annotation, JAX-WS would automatically generate messages like this:
<echoString>
<echoStringRequest>
...
</echoStringRequest>
</echoString>
With the annotation, the outer element does not exist anymore.
The #WebParam and #ReturnType annotations are needed to determine the names of the root elements in the SOAP request and response body.

JSF 2.0 validateRegex with own validator message

i am having a code similar to this:
<h:inputText id="email" value="#{managePasswordBean.forgotPasswordEmail}"
validatorMessage="#{validate['constraints.email.notValidMessage']}"
requiredMessage="#{validate['constraints.email.emptyMessage']}"
validator="#{managePasswordBean.validateForgotPasswordEmail}"
required="true">
<f:validateRegex pattern="^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*#[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,6})$" />
</h:inputText>
The validator in the backing bean has its own validation message generated. but it is overwritten by the validatorMessage of the inputText tag.
My Question is: how can i define a custom validator message for the validateRegex tag? I don't want to remove the validatorMessage cause then JSF is displaying an own error message containing the regex pattern and so on -> which i dont find very pretty.
Thanks for the help :)
You can't define a separate validatorMessage for each individual validator. Best what you can do is to do the regex validation in your custom validator as well, so that you can remove the validatorMessage.
Update: since version 1.3, the <o:validator> component of the JSF utility library OmniFaces allows you to set the validator message on a per-validator basis. Your particular case can then be solved as follows:
<h:inputText id="email" value="#{managePasswordBean.forgotPasswordEmail}"
required="true" requiredMessage="#{validate['constraints.email.emptyMessage']}">
<o:validator binding="#{managePasswordBean.validateForgotPasswordEmail}" message="#{validate['constraints.email.notValidMessage']}" />
<o:validator validatorId="javax.faces.RegularExpression" pattern="^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*#[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,6})$" message="Your new custom message here" />
</h:inputText>
Unrelated to the concrete problem: these days you would be not ready for world domination as long as you still validate email addresses based on Latin characters. See also Email validation using regular expression in JSF 2 / PrimeFaces.
This worked for me.
You can write your custom messages in "validatorMessage"
<h:form id="form">
<h:outputLabel for="name">Name :</h:outputLabel>
<h:inputText id="name" value="#{editStock.name}" required="true" requiredMessage="Name field must not be empty" validatorMessage="Your name can have only Alphabets">
<f:validateRegex pattern="^[a-zA-Z]*$" />
</h:inputText><br/>
<h:message for="name" style="color:red" />
<h:commandButton value="Update" action="#{stock.update(editStock)}" style="width: 80px;"></h:commandButton>
</h:form>
