[Catalyst] Pilot error/cluelessness with XMLRPC
Hi folks:
Using XMLRPC for some service method calls to make life
easier/cleaner for some of our code. I am doing something wrong, as I
get errors (at the end).
I set up a simple application using the usual methods
catalyst.pl RDB
cd RDB
script/rdb_create.pl controller Job
I then set about to use portions of the examples in the
Catalyst::Plugin::Server::XMLRPC . Specifically I created a ping and
echo method, to test. I placed these in the Job.pm (rather than Root.pm
... is this an issue?). This is what they look like.
sub echo : XMLRPC { # available as: job.echo
my ( $self, $c, @args ) = @_;
$c-stash-{xmlrpc} = join ', ', @args;
$c-log-debug($args[0]);
}
sub ping : XMLRPCPath('/job/ping') {# available as: ping
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
$c-stash-{xmlrpc} = 'Pong';
}
Ok. Light up the server, comes up fine:

Basically it is telling me that it doesn't have a view to forward to.
Is this needed in Server::XMLRPC ? I thought it did html encapsulated

[Catalyst] Using JQuery in Catalyst
Hi folks: I am looking at using JQuery in a Cat app we are working on. Using Mason for the View. Does anyone have a recommendation on the JQuery modules? I tried them, specifically the JQuery::Tabs module and the Table module. Neither one emitted css/js by default. Moreover, I could not convince them to emit the css or js. I could get them to emit simple tables and simple bulleted lists, but that was about it. Are any Cat users using JQuery, and if so, are you doing it on your own, or leveraging the JQuery modules? Basically I am looking at them as an easy way to avoid writing javascript/css for some of the presentation elements (tabs for example). Basically I want to hand an object an appropriately constructed data structure and have it do all the work of generating the javascript. I had thought the JQuery modules did this. Advice/guidance sought. Thanks.

Re: [Catalyst] Using JQuery in Catalyst
Replying to self after more experimentation. I figured what I found might help others.

Basically I want to hand an object an appropriately constructed data structure and have it do all the work of generating the javascript. I had thought the JQuery modules did this. They sorta kinda do this. JQuery comes with the css/modules set up in directories of its own. Of course, it is setup in such a way that if you follow the documentation, it won't work. What you have to do is cd to where ever you point jqueryDir to, then ... ln -s /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/JQuery/jquery_js/jquery \ jquery ln -s /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/JQuery/jquery_js/plugins \ plugins This is just to set up the paths to the plugins. You can cp -r instead if you want to incorporate them. Then in your code, you need to add my $code = $jquery-get_jquery_code ; my $css = $jquery-get_css ; and then somewhere before the body ends ... % $code % % $css % ( for the TT/TT2 enhanced/encumbered, this should be something like [% $code %] [% $css %] or some such thing ) Also the example on the JQuery module page is incorrect, you need to add in a addToJQuery = $jquery , element. Kind of a pseudo class/object thingy. Not one and not the other. Something in-between. I will document what I found and send a ticket over to Peter Gordon soon. Is there a JQuery plugin or similar being worked on for Catalyst?

Re: [Catalyst] A View that may include elements optionally returnedfrom other funcs

Ugh... Assume that the view gets everything from controller. Then this
controller is the thing that should gather everything together before

That's fair enough, but say you've got 20 possible page elements of
which typically 5 or 6 are included in the final page. Would you
still suggest that the Controller should initialize any data for all
20 elements onto the stash?
Absolutely not. On the contrary, I specifically indicated that blank sections
should be left undef. If the stash for that section is undef, then the view
can completely (programmatically) skip that section.
What if some of those elements are relatively expensive to generate?
See above, and please refer to my original note.
What Steve wants is some way of being able to decide in the View
which of those elements are included and load them accordingly.
... and this should be done at the controller level is what I am saying. You
can even have your controller select a particular view based upon the
available data if you wish. Or have a single view template handle everything
(and only render bits that are defined, which is what I had indicated, this
way you do not have to construct everything, just what you need).
The best solution I can come up with is passing coderefs into your
view which can then be run to retrieve the data would something like
this work?
$c-stash-{'get_most_popular'} = sub {
return $c-model('DB')-some_expensive_db_op();
};
Maybe I am confused about MVC, but wouldn't you want the view to decide how to
present what is sent to it by the controller, and hence have the controller
handle this?

Oh yes I know that, but if it would be too hard to get that code, most users would prefer to pay for the program instead of cracking it. Technological measures can be defeated. Assume they provide speed bumps at most to determined hackers. We have found that people are (sometimes) willing to pay for programs when they add significant value to what it is they are doing. That said, much of the reason we see our customers interested in open source has very little to do with libre' and a great deal to do with acquisition cost. The often higher quality is an added benefit. What stops them from doing un-intended things with it are good licenses that grant them the rights they require without granting them the rights they do not require. You are not granting ownership rights, you grant usage rights. You may chose to restrict these rights, or not grant them at all. In this case, you may need to review which elements of OSS you may yourself use in your program. Can the source code be got easily from those dll files?

That is unless you have your in-memory image also encrypted with on the fly decryption/execution. I am not aware of any one doing this for any language. Though I could be wrong. As far as I know in the latest versions of perlapp, the source code is kept in memory and it is also crypted. That decryption might be done, but it would be much harder, and again, most users will prefer paying for the program instead of fighting with it for breaking the protection. I have not seen many users, who have a day job that requires that the get specific work done, try to crack program source code, or reverse engineer their apps. It all comes down to the value you offer, and what you are willing to enable. Protection has its purposes, though compiling programs is not what I would call protection. If you want to protect you need to mix encryption with some sort of preventative execution measure, a DRM of sorts. This provides something akin to a higher speedbump, but it is only a speedbump. It is not absolute protection. The only way to get better protection is to never ship the application, only the side effects. Google doesn't ship its applications, though they are some of the most widely used in the world. I am willing to be that the critical internal bits are not OSS. If a language is interpreted, this doesn't mean that the programs that were made with it cannot be protected in any way. Define protection. Do you mean not copied/looked at/altered ? Ok, thanks for asking this, because each one of us understand something different. By protection I understand that if someone would like to get the source code of the program, that person should be a pretty good programmer, and he should spend a long time trying to get it. How much time? Well, a time that doesn't cost more than $90. Hmmm So you think they should spend at least $90US of time to get the program from the internal representation? So do you know about B::Deparse? I would suggest reflecting upon which goals you have in preventing access to source. Is it prevention of modification, protection of IP, restriction of redistribution ... But I don't know if I understood correctly... from this discussion I think that it is not possible to do what I want using Catalyst. This has nothing to do with Catalyst. This is (not really) a language issue, and more correctly a basic computing issue. Unless your code is always encrypted, in memory, on disk, etc. there is little possibility to prevent a determined hacker from getting it. So if you take this off the plate, that is, you make it so that getting at the source is not hard at all, you effectively remove that attack vector against your code. Now focus upon what it is you do. Heck, you can even hide your IP back behind a nice XML-RPC/SOAP stack on a remote system or three, and distribute the rest as OSS. I have also tried an HTTP server module from cpan that works with CGI::Application, but that module cannot be installed under Windows. Ok, the issue sounds like windows.

[Catalyst] C::P::FormBuilder question/problem
Hi folks:
I want to stop building my own forms and use one of the C::P modules.
FormBuilder looked quite good.
I (largely) followed the example in the manual. I am trying to build
a login web form for an app. Unfortunately something isn't quite
working. I see nothing (e.g. zero) output from the call, though it
looks like from the log, that things are working. Am I missing
something obvious here? The man pages suggest that this should work ...
(note: I can call $c-form-render and send it to the log file). I am
using Mason for the view, and a simple SQLite3 DB for the model.
My login.fb looks like this:
# Form config file root/forms/books/edit.fb
name: login_form
method: post
fields:
username:
label: User name
type: text
size: 40
required: 1
password:
label: Password
type: password
size: 40
validate: NAME
required: 1
submit: Login
reset: Clear
My Root.pm controller has this in it
sub login : Local Form {
my ($self, $c) = @_;
my $form;
$c-log-debug(In login\n);
if ($c-form-submitted $c-form-validate)
{
$c-forward('/login_check') ;
}
$c-log-debug(leaving login\n);
}
When tested without the login method, it generates output properly,
specifically the Catalyst default page (haven't changed it, in order to
keep sanity checks while building this)
When tested with the login method, it generates no output whatsoever.
The log shows this:

[Catalyst] Solved (mostly) the display problem, still fighting for FormBuilder
In my zeal to code up the application I managed to delete the RenderView
bit. You know, the one line that reads:
sub end : ActionClass('RenderView') {}
in the root controller.
Replacing that immediately fixed the display problem, though now I am
back to the FormBuilder issue. I am having a problem with some of the
documentation (will file a bug against what I found). The docs suggest
something that looks like this (in TT, I hand converted this to Mason).
[% FOREACH field IN form.fields %]
div id=[%- field.name -%]
div class=label
[% field.required
? qq(span class=required$field.label/span)
: field.label
%]
/div
This presumes that $c-form-fields is the correct array ref to iterate
over. As I have discovered, it is not. It is $c-form-fieldrefs. So
my Mason code looks something like this:
% foreach $field (keys %{$form-{fieldrefs}})
% {
% $field |h %
% }
and it spit out my username and password fields quite nicely. By
Data::Dumping the form, I saw this:
'fieldrefs' = {
'password' = bless( {
'_cache' = {
'type'
= 'text'
},
'cleanopts' = 1,
'selectname' = 1,
'sticky' = 1,
'name' = 'password',
'_form' = $VAR1,
'selectnum' = 5
},
'CGI::FormBuilder::Field::text' ),
'username' = bless( {
'_cache' = {
'type'
= 'text'
},
'cleanopts' = 1,
'submit' = 'Login',
'name' = 'username',
'size' = '40',
'password' =
$VAR1-{'fieldopts'}{'username'}{'password'},
'selectname' = 1,
'sticky' = 1,
'required' = '1',
'_form' = $VAR1,
'label' = 'User
name',
'type' = 'text',
'selectnum' = 5
},
'CGI::FormBuilder::Field::text' )
which suggests that the correct dereference for the [%- field.name -%]
like things is actually
$form-{fieldrefs}-{$field}-{name}
Has anyone else seen this? Or does TT work in some magical other manner
so it hides all of this from us?
Where I am now is that a call to $form-render doesn't seem to do much.
Will work on it some more, I am assuming I have some additional pilot
error here as well.
Thanks.

Re: [Catalyst] catalyst++
Hi Thomas: When I looked at InstantCrud, it only worked with TT, and I want to use it with Mason. Is there a way to do this? Joe Thomas Hartman wrote: similar idea to InstantCrud, isn't this? 2006/9/29, Harshal Shah [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi friends, Catalyst is so far the best framework I have found to make web based applications (ruby is there ..but perl is god) . I've been toying around with catalyst for couple of months and made few web based applications using catalyst. I realized that all web applications have few common set of features. Basically i ended up duplicating quite a bit of stuff within each app and across also. Point is ..it would be really nice to jump start catalyst. for instance, catalyst.pl MyApp should be much more than empty framework. I know people have their own choice of each component and module..but having basic set of components built-in would be certainly nice to have. Everyone may night need this solution .but for people who want to rapidly start deploying..this will be a boon. currently i am working on it to include : 1. Basic Authentication and authorization (User and role tables ) based on DBIx::Class 2. Front end CSS/Jquery based menu system. 3. CRUD for user role tables, db schema can be used to generate necessary forms layouts. 4. Basic javascript based form validation (again schema can be used here) 5. and more ... I know these things are very user/developer/application specific, but also common components across most web based application. Is something like this already available or in making ?

[Catalyst] Static file serving question
From
http://search.cpan.org/~mramberg/Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.14/lib/Catalyst/Plugin/Static/Simple.pm
it seems that for me to have a path /files served statically I need to
add something like this in my root
MyApp-config-{static}-{include_path} = [
'/files',
MyApp-config-{root}
];
Then any file in /files will be served statically without Catalyst
working its magic.
So far so good.
Now suppose I have a large set of directories, which may also be deep
under /files, and would not be able to enumerate them at server startup
time. Do I need to add each directory to this include path, or is the
upper include path, /files sufficient? From the text, I think it might
be sufficient for /files, but I would like to be sure.
That is, I have
/files
/files/a
/files/b
/files/b/x
/files/b/y
...
and I want to make sure I can serve everything under and including
/files if I use /files in the include_path directive.
Thanks.

[Catalyst] simple question ... I think ...
Ok, being stupid today
I have a simple controller named directory. It has a default method.
So things named
http://localhost:3000/directory
should go to it. Now I want to capture
http://localhost:3000/directory/other/things/...
that is, I want this controller to handle anything past the default
method. It does this by default. My question is, how do I get access
to the rest of the path after /directory? This is what I have ...
sub default : Regex('^(.*)$') {
my ( $self, $c, $rest ) = @_;
...
}
and I want $rest to be /other/things/...
This is not working though. I tried a Path('/directory') that worked,
as long as I gave it /directory/other. As soon as I tried
/directory/other/things, it gave me /directory/other.
Hmmm...
Hints? Clues? FAQs? Pointers?
Thanks!

Hints? Clues? FAQs? Pointers?
Catalyst::Manual::Intro has been improved for 5.70 and explains the
attrs better now.
The hint I needed was that the regex'es are passed in via
$c-request-snippets. This controller definition works nicely.
sub base : Regex('^directory(.*)$') {
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
my ($rest);
$rest = @{$c-request-snippets}[0];
}
Would localregex eliminate the need to hardwire the directory in
there? Will play with this...
Thanks.

If you're using a Regex action, always first ask yourself is there an
easier way to do this?. The answer is almost always yes.
heh... make it as simple as possible, but no simpler. Thanks! This is
exactly what I was looking/hoping for. Works like a charm. Didn't see
it expressed in the docs/faqs though.

[Catalyst] quick windows catinabox question
Hi folks: I want to be able to work on my stuff regardless of whether I am booted into windows or linux on my laptop. Most of the time is spent in Linux, but I need to use windows for some things every now and then. I have Catalyst operational on the laptop under SuSE 10.1. Works great. However, I want to also run it under windows so I can work on the same projects in shared directories when in windows. Last I tried, Cygwin had some issues (Matt had been wrestling with it). Is Catinabox working in Cygwin, or will everything just work in Cygwin? Native vs cygwin doesn't matter.
