[Google Wave APIs] Cron Tutorial
I know what a cron job is, I have just never created one. For ANY platform. Google Wave is a very specific platform and there isn't much documentation on it (crons with Wave). In the Java API tutorial, cron jobs are mentioned as being available, but that's all I could find on them. I have seen some other posts about cron jobs in groups here and gathered that some lines of code should be added to the capabilities.xml but I don't know the extent of the attributes I can use or even how to use the ones I saw in the post (i think there was a directory for a script? and then a time given that appeared to be an interval like every 10 seconds). So my question is this: Is there some documentation I have missed in terms of cron jobs with wave (for the Java API)? If not, could someone give a quick run down of their understanding of how this could be used? I am also aware that a mechanism is being developed that could replace the need for cron jobs but I'd still like to familiarize myself with the cron capabilities. Thanks for your time!

[Google Wave APIs] Re: Strange Range behavior after appending text...
I don't know how many people were able to read this, but I haven't
received any feedback yet and the problem persists. Is this some sort
of annotation bug or am I missing something?

I have been working on a robot that reads questions from a blip and
populates them in a Question Bank blip. Here is the process:
-I choose a blip and enter into it Question Bank
-My robot reads and recognizes that exact text and
1.) sets a data document that stores the blip ID containing that
text
2.) appends (Ready)\n to the blip
-A user enters a question with my chosen q /q tags
-Robot reads the question and recognizes tags
-Robot reads last question data document (if available) and finds the
next consecutive number (String num) to assign this question and sets
a new data document for the current question with number
-Robot replaces user question and tags with: num + .) + question
-Robot changes text color with my custom stringStyle method (posted
below)
*start custom addQuestion method (posted below)
-Robot reads data document with question bank id to get that blip
context
-Robot gets question bank blip with bundle.getBlip() method
-Robot appends text to question bank blip document: num + .) +
question
-Robot uses custom stringStyle method to color question in question
bank
**stringStyle method**
public void stringStyle(Blip blip, String string, String style, String
arg) {
string = new escape(string).get(); //custom class i created to
escape certain characters for regex
TextView doc = blip.getDocument();
doc.append(+doc.getText()+\n); //testing purposes only
Matcher matcher = Pattern.compile(string,
Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE).matcher(doc.getText());
if (matcher.find()) {
doc.append( range:+matcher.start()+, +matcher.end());
//
testing purposes only
Range range = new Range(matcher.start(),matcher.end()+1);
doc.setAnnotation(range, style/+style, arg);
} else {
doc.append(\nerr StringStyle: string not found);
}
}
**addQuestion method**
public void addQuestion(RobotMessageBundle bundle, Wavelet wavelet,
String num, String question) {
String blipID = wavelet.getDataDocument(bank);
if(blipID != null) {
Blip blip = bundle.getBlip(wavelet.getWaveId(),
wavelet.getWaveletId(), blipID);
blip.getDocument().append(\n+num+.) +question);
stringStyle(blip, num+.) +question, color, red);
} else {
blipOut(wavelet, Question Bank not found!);
}
}
Ok so EVERYTHING works just fine in the process except that last
step. I want to color the added question red, but for some reason, my
matcher finds the question starting at position 2 EVERY time (even as
i continue adding questions successfully). This results in part of
the text Question Bank (Ready) turning red instead of the question
itself. I tried to view the doc.getText to see if it was returning
the rest of the text in the question bank but it is not. For some
reason getting the blip in this context does not return any of its
content (it seems) except for the question I have just appended (via
getDocument().getText()). I have a feeling this has something to do
with using the bundle and the stored blip ID to get that blip
reference to append to it.
Anyone have any thoughts? I hope I included enough information...

[Google Wave APIs] Re: Google Wave Robot Wire Protocol Draft - Feedback Wanted
I like the detail of the explanation for the Message bundle the robot receives. However, I would love to see that same level of detail in the JSON-RPC operations the robot sends to the wave. What is the extent of the methods that can be sent? How about the params? How exactly is it sent through a url? I would be interested in building a PHP client library so understanding my limitations would be very helpful. Also, when will the new protocol be rolled out (if it hasn't been already) and is it possible to begin building the client library currently? Smola On Nov 4, 8:38 pm, pamela (Google Employee) pamela...@gmail.com wrote: Under the hood, Google Wave robots operate by receiving events and sending operations via JSON messages at specified URLs. Our robot client libraries (in Java and Python) wrap on top of that wire protocol and expose the events and operations as classes and methods. When we first launched the robots SDKs in June, we received feedback about various issues with this underlying protocol. These issues bubbled up to the client libraries, and often made it harder to use the client libraries. As mentioned in the What's coming forum post a few months ago, we have been working on the next version of the wire protocol. We have now come up with a protocol that we think is much cleaner and will make development easier. We have published a draft of this new protocol here:http://code.google.com/apis/wave/extensions/robots/protocol.html This protocol will form the basis of future client libraries, so once we feel confident about this protocol, we will release client libraries that use it. If you are a developer thinking about writing a client library in your language of choice (like Ruby, PHP, etc), then this document will be of great interest to you. If you are a developer that uses our current robot APIs, then this document may help you understand the mechanisms of robots better, and prepare you for future client libraries to come. Please take a look and give us your feedback, both on the protocol itself and on the documentation.

[Google Wave APIs] Re: Can't seem to delete/trash a wave
I'd have to agree with Mr. Nesting. I know you want to get the wave out of of your inbox, but not at the expense of perhaps not getting legitimate waves later. As for the problem, I have experienced the same issue, but it is intermittent. I also get this same intermittent problem when trying to archive waves. The wave closes but remains in my inbox. Again, both of these issues are intermittent for me and are unpredictable. It's important to note that I'm mainly using Wave Preview, but I have seen this issue in sandbox as well.

[Google Wave APIs] Re: Wavelet.getRootBlip() -- Do I understand something wrong?
Keeping track of the IDs for lookup? I have been searching for a
method in the API which takes a blip ID as an argument and returns the

something? Please tell me how this can be done if possible because my
development has been stalled as a result.

So yes, when a blip is out of context you would have no way to retrieve its

maintain the context on your own with a datastore backend. Essentially

We know that this is not ideal and we are working on this as speak to remove
the limited context on callback. Stay tuned for updates.

Oh I see...So robot doesn't get the whole wavelet with all of the blips,
but the blip of the related event and it's parent.
Ok, but if I would like to access to the rootblip, and I get its id with
wavelet.getRootBlipId(), how can I request its content
(getDoucment().getText())? (wavelet.getRootBlip().getDocument().getText()
also throws null exception in these cases, so I don't have any idea how to
achieve this)
Thanks for your guidance!

Hi,
To get the root blip id in your scenario -
wave.appendBlip().getDocument().append(wavelet.getRootBlipId());
This would work because it does not require context of a grandparent
blip. The reason that you are getting exception is because the context
associated with an event callback only goes back its immediate parent. So
in your case if the triggering event is resulted from a grandchild blip
away
from root, it will no longer has context to recreate the root blip when you
invoked wavelet.getRootBlip() - thus you will get a null reference.
Hope it helps,

2009/10/22 Bálint Kriván bal...@krivan.info
Hi!
I have this little chunk of code:
public void debug(RobotMessageBundle bundle, String msg)
{
ListString list = new ArrayList();
list.add(myaddress in google wave);
Wavelet wave = bundle.createWavelet(list);
wave.appendBlip().getDocument().append(msg);
}
@Override
public void processEvents(RobotMessageBundle robotMessageBundle) {
Wavelet wavelet = robotMessageBundle.getWavelet();
for (Event event : robotMessageBundle.getEvents()) {
Blip currentBlip = event.getBlip();
switch (event.getType()) {
case BLIP_SUBMITTED:
debug(robotMessageBundle,
String.valueOf(wavelet.getRootBlip().getBlipId())); // line 46!
}
}
}
So when I add a blip to the wavelet where the robot is, it should open a
new wave with me and send the id of the root blip (The top blip in the
wavelet).
But if this blip isn't right after the root blip (so the very first
Reply button) then I've got a NullPointerException:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.google.wave.api.impl.BlipImpl.getBlipId(BlipImpl.java:56)
at robot.MainServlet.processEvents(MainServlet.java:46)
at
com.google.wave.api.AbstractRobotServlet.doPost(AbstractRobotServlet.java:8
9)
[...]
What is the recommended way to access the very first blip (which is I
guess the RootBlip)?
Thanks for your help!

I believe that you can change the version currently being served in your appengine dashboard. However, if you are talking about having a working version up for the public and another one that you are developing, you're right, you have to have two different appIDs because appengine looks at the same version file for whatever version you work with.

Hello all, Oliver, I don't see how Sam's translating has anything to do with your progress developing your app. You go on your merry way developing your Windows app as your original intent implies. And if Sam chooses to try and translate, then way to go for him. Whether he finishes it or not or has a different GUI has no bearing on your own personal progress on the app. If I were you I'd continue as if you'd never heard Sam's original message and if he comes up with a translation you can make decisions then. VB was one of my first languages too! ;D I know it's pretty easy, but if you know basic logic it's not a HUGE leap to go from language to language.

[Google Wave APIs] Mystical Hidden Character
I am still working on appending styled text to a blip, but I'm settling on adding annotations afterwards for now since appendMarkup doesn't seem to be working properly. What I am doing is identifying questions in a blip using tags(q/q). The script detects the tags, stores the question, and then edits the blip taking the tags away and turning the question green. Every time I try though the very last character remains black. I did some tests and the range I want is correct. However, I am using the replace() method to replace the contents of the original blip with the new content (sans question tags). When I do this replacement some phantom character gets added. I submit the original blip immediately after the last character by pressing shift+enter so a newline character shouldn't be a part of it. I tried commenting out the annotation code thinking that perhaps an annotation adds a character somehow but that didn't work. Oh, and it's important to note that the phantom character must be at the START of my replaced text because the un-annotated character is the last character of my string.

[Google Wave APIs] Re: Mystical Hidden Character
Ok, I must not understand the way Annotations work with Ranges. I changed my annotation range to go from 0,2 thinking that the 0th, 1st, and 2nd characters would get annotated. In other words, the first three characters. Isn't that how you'd expect it to work? So inside my question tags i put hi? and the question mark didn't get annotated. Again, the length of the text of this newly replaced document with just hi? had 4 characters instead of 3. So then I tried the range to from 1,3 and this time the 'h' in hi? was black and the other two characters were green. Still, 4 total characters found. The only thing that worked was for me to make the range go from 0,3. That seems so counter-intuitive to me though since in all other languages the behavior would be different. However, this behavior does lead me to believe that the 4th hidden character is indeed some sort of marker for the annotation and that it comes at the END of the text rather than the beginning.

[Google Wave APIs] Re: Setting Annotations cancels further Text changes?
This won't be helpful but, shouldn't it be ue-tray for true? I
thought pig-latin splits words at the first vowel?

So, I'm making a toy robot - something that converts typed text into pig
latin.
And I have that working, except I thought it might be nice to revert the
text into plain english if the document was edited again later on.
I figured the easiest way to do this would be to annotate the text per the
range of each pig latin word with the original un-translated word.
So I added code such that at each word translation, the translated word was
annotated with the original.
Except now, the text updates seem to stop after the first annotation. If I
comment out setting the Annotation, it works fine. If I uncomment the
setting of the Annotation, it stops working. What's even more confusing,
the Annotation doesn't seem to be coming across - I go back into edit the
blip, during which I have my code dump all annotations - nothing there!
String original = text.getText();
if(original.startsWith(pig:))
{
int end = original.length();
while(end 4)
{
int start = original.lastIndexOf(' ', end-1)+1;
if(start 4)
{
start = 4;}
String word = original.substring(start, end).trim();
if(word.length() 0)
{
String pigged = ;
if(/*starts with vowel*/)
{
pigged = word + -ay;}
else
{
pigged = word.substring(1) + - + word.charAt(0) + ay;}
logMsg += ' + word + ' = ' + pigged + ' [ + start + , + end +
]\n;
Range r = new Range(start, end);
text.replace(r, pigged);
// Range nr = new Range(start, start+pigged.length());
// text.setAnnotation(nr, sechastain/pl/ + start, word);}
end = start-1;
}
text.replace(new Range(0, 4), );
}
Annotation commented out: ell-tay e-may omething-say rue-tay
Annotation uncommented: pig:tell me something rue-tay
Come to think of it, other than a range annotation (when I highlight text)
and the occasional lang Annotation, I don't see much annotations. I guess I
just always expected to see more from other places I've read.
Any thoughts off hand?

[Google Wave APIs] Re: how to detect a new blip added to a wave?
I'd also like to point out a couple things First off, when you click
reply on any blip, the WAVELET_BLIP_CREATED event will fire, so you
will receive your good comment blip before any comment is even
made. Secondly, use bundle.getEvents() as opposed to
bundle.getBlipSubmittedEvents() if you want to listen and test for ANY
event the client sends with the bundle.

I also tried putting it in the

However, if (e.getType() == EventType.WAVELET_PARTICIPANTS_CHANGED)

does trigger an response.
And so does bundle.wasSelfAdded() (which of course isnt in a loop).
So...what am I missing?

[Google Wave APIs] Re: Creating some annotated text to append to a blip
Well I tried to do that actually. I took a paragraph tag and tried to append it with some styled text (just setting color to orange) and it didn't work. I've had other issues with that paragraph tag but changing color shouldn't have been too much of a stretch. Just for clarification the line of code was: text.appendMarkup(p style=\color:orange;\Hello/p); And it just appended plain black text to the end of my current textview text. Not even a new line. But that's been discussed in a different thread...;D On Oct 10, 4:27 pm, F. Andy Seidl fase...@myst-technology.com wrote: Take a look at TextView.appendMarkup().

[Google Wave APIs] Supported XHTML Elements
Is it possible to get a list of all the XHTML entities that are supported? They are not listed in the documentation. The reason I'm asking is because I tried the most basic element (text.appendMarkup (pSome Text/p)) and it is supposed to append a block-level element. This should circumvent any newline problems. However, it doesn't display that way. It currently just appends the text right up against the last character in a blip (sans tags).

It may have been a typo, but there is no event registered as WAVELET_BLIP_SUBMITTED. Perhaps you meant WAVELET_BLIP_CREATED?

[Google Wave APIs] Re: unable to deploy a robot
**UPDATE** I found the problem!!! Ok so my version wasn't updating with all those changes when I visited capabilities.xml even though I could see every version in my appengine dashboard. I looked around in my dashboard and there's an option on the left menu that says Versions. All of my versions were listed but version 1 was listed as the *default* version. I changed the default to the latest version and voila! I got robot activity! One problem though: I get both messages for WAVELET_PARTICIPANTS_CHANGED and WAVELET_SELF_ADDED when I add my robot to a wave. Adding a new contact sends the message for the former event and not the latter as expected. I suppose it makes sense to have both of those messages fire because being added does cause the participant list to change, but that's less than ideal for what it SHOULD do. Either way, it will only take a small fix to get rid of the redundancy. Anyway I hope my plight helps someone else!!

I copied everything from the Java tutorial character for character and I was able to access my capabilities.xml from appspot too. My first error was thrown in Eclipse. It flagged the package declaration at the top of my servlet. package com.google.wave.api.samples; was apparently invalid and so Eclipse suggested I use the project name instead (testrobot). So I changed it to package testrobot; But that didn't solve the problem. I also changed the class extension from ParrotyServlet to TestRobotServlet, but I wouldn't think that that would be an issue. I have also been changing my versions both in capabilites.xml and appengine-web.xml every time I deploy. However, when I visit smolatest.appspot.com/_wave/capabilities.xml I see my original version number. Even though I've changed it from 1 to 1a to 1b to 1c to 2 trying to get it to work, It still shows 1. Does anyone else see different? All new versions show up in my appengine dashboard even though the file doesn't seem to be getting updated. The only warning I see is on my naming of the class to TestRobotServlet. It throws this warning: The serializable class TestRobotServlet does not declare a static final serialVersionUID field of type long Would that keep it from working? I assure everyone that I followed the tutorial word for word and only changed the package declaration mentioned above. Also, I added smolat...@appspot.com to my contacts list successfully.
