Re: DISCUSSION: Time zones and date selection

One more thing, I've added Geonames to ping service to measure its
performance and got the following statistics:

Was made 47 requests (one for every 15 minutes) with average response time
750 ms.
During this period I got some bad responses:

{"status":{"message":"the hourly limit of 3000 credits for the IP address
72.14.192.68 has been exceeded. Please throttle your requests or use the
commercial service.","value":19}}
Its availability percent (percent of expected responses) was 93.75% for the
past 12 hours.
So its probably not a good option to use Geonames in a cloud for free... but
still an option.

 At the very least, these components probably should include a time zone

 I haven't been able to find a sure-fire way of determing the user's time

 I'm curious what kinds of solutions the community have used to address

 5.3.

 One option is a bit of JavaScript that reports the client's time zone

 just time) to the server so that the server can identify their time zone
 automatically.

tapestry grid problem,when sorting,redirected to Start page

2010-08-19 Thread bugxiaoya


I am using Tapestry 5.1 Grid Component for data display.
the problem is: 
when click the sort icon in the table head,it is just redirected to the
Start page.
set the SymbolConstants.SUPPRESS_REDIRECT_FROM_ACTION_REQUESTS  to be "true"
in AppModule.contributeApplicationDefaults() can resolve this problem,but is
there any other way?

P.S:the same problem when click the paging label of grid component.

the source code is as follows:


${user.name}



${message:delete-label}

Feed as in passing data? This can be done by putting data into the

From ComponentSource you get the page instance (a Component). It has a 
getComponentResources() method. From there, you can invoke 
discardPersistentFieldChanges().

I was achieving it before with

@Inject
private ComponentResources cr;

public void clearPersistentFields(){
cr.discardPersistentFieldChanges();
}

IIRC this has to be inside the component itself to work. My Tab 
components have this, but I have no way of accessing them as objects. 
It is possible to somehow cast the Component object from 
ComponentSource's getPage method to the Tab interface in order to 
access this method? I'm not sure if Tapestry links custom components 
to the Component class somehow, but my common Java sense would tell me 
this is silly.

Hi,

thanks for the response. So it looks like I can manage the components 
mostly through the ComponentSource service, I should be able to clear 
persistent fields this way and load the current SubPage I want. Then 
I can implement a ComponentRequestFilter to aid in the Permissions I 
wrote about.


That just leave a) which I see I did not explain well enough. By 
"directs content" I was trying to generalize the concept that the 
ModuleIndex would be including (or Injecting?) the SubPage component 
related to that current SubPage. Just like when you include any 
component in a template i.e. . I was achieving this 
through Delegate and Block before, but that was linked up to the 
@Component SubPages so it could load the right one.


Also, you mentioned not using 'mvn jetty:run', is there anything 
particularly wrong with that? That's how I run the application.


I certainly agree many things about my current implementation are not 
ideal (memory consumption, not typical way of doing things) but 
working is better than nothing, not to mention how hard it is to 
figure out what the "recommended way of doing it" is for any given 
feature without asking =/

What do you mean by "directs content"?

b) The module needs to keep track of all the SubPage instances so 
it can wipe their persistent fields when navigation changes.


This can be implemented as a ComponentRequestFilter. In addition, 
Tapestry 5.2 adds one page lifecycle that my be useful this kind of 
situation: 
http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5.2-dev/apidocs/org/apache/tapestry5/annotations/PageReset.html 



c) The module needs to assess the target of page navigation, and 
then filter the resulting SubPage based on user permissions within 
the application.


This can be implemented as a ComponentRequestFilter. That's the 
recommended way of doing it.


d) When one of the specific SubPage classes is changed in source, 
it should be able to be live reloaded without restarting the 
application


In Eclipse, I just leave all the projects (modules) open and it 
works, as long as I'm not using Maven's jetty:run. I usually create 
a Main class that launches a Jetty instance.


ModuleIndex has a @Component for each SubPage and then maps these 
components to the activation context integers in a @SessionState Map.


In Tapestry 5.1 (page pool), this would lead to a large memory 
comsumption. In 5.2 there's no such problem.
Anyway, a good option is to use ComponentSource to get instances of 
components or pages in runtime instead of holding references to 
instances, leading to the ClassCastExceptios you're experiencing.

From ComponentSource you get the page instance (a Component). It has a  
getComponentResources() method. From there, you can invoke  
discardPersistentFieldChanges().

Re: Restoring Live Page Class Reloading

Actually I spoke a little too soon about the persistent fields. I'm not 
really clear on how that is solved by a ComponentRequestFilter, other 
than it's a good place to do it. ComponentSource doesn't provide any 
means with which to clear persistent fields.


I was achieving it before with

@Inject
private ComponentResources cr;

public void clearPersistentFields(){
cr.discardPersistentFieldChanges();
}

IIRC this has to be inside the component itself to work. My Tab 
components have this, but I have no way of accessing them as objects. It 
is possible to somehow cast the Component object from ComponentSource's 
getPage method to the Tab interface in order to access this method? I'm 
not sure if Tapestry links custom components to the Component class 
somehow, but my common Java sense would tell me this is silly.

In Eclipse, I just leave all the projects (modules) open and it 
works, as long as I'm not using Maven's jetty:run. I usually create a 
Main class that launches a Jetty instance.


ModuleIndex has a @Component for each SubPage and then maps these 
components to the activation context integers in a @SessionState Map.


In Tapestry 5.1 (page pool), this would lead to a large memory 
comsumption. In 5.2 there's no such problem.
Anyway, a good option is to use ComponentSource to get instances of 
components or pages in runtime instead of holding references to 
instances, leading to the ClassCastExceptios you're experiencing.

JIRA TAP5_103 provide access to component parameters from within mixins

2010-08-19 Thread Shing Hing Man

JIRA TAP5_103 is marked as fixed in Tap 5.2.0.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-103

Does anyone know where I can find an example on reading a component parameters 
from within a mixin ?

Does it work by simply inject the component for which the mixin is attached, in 
the mixin Java class ?
Eg   
 @InjectContainer
private Object container;



Thanks in advance for any assistance !

You can only return a multizoneupdate if you are inside of an ajax
request. If you are using an eventlink/actionlink then you need to add
the zone parameter with the client id of one of the zones you are
going to update (has to be a zone that exists on the page for the link
to get setup properly on the client)


${now}



${last}


Rotate


MultiZoneUpdate onRotate() {
_last = _now;
_now = new Date();
return new MultiZoneUpdate("zone1",
_zone1.getBody()).add("zone2", _zone2.getBody());
}

Use an actionlink inside ajaxformloop, at least i would do this this way.

Example:



delete


And in java class:

public Object onActionFromDelete(Integer id) {
/*do delete here*/
return new MultiZoneUpdate("zone1", zone1).add("zone2", zone2);
}

ZoneUpdater mixin is easiest way to go. With adding few words to the .tml
you can get great results, and it is great basis to extend it to your needs.
Some examplar usage of this is:



in java:
public Object onChangeOfItem(String value) {
/*any server action here*/
return zone1.getBody();
}

and you get ajax select

Hope it helps

Re: TextOutputStream and Selenium

Ok, I can't reproduce. Here is what I've tried.

public class TextStreamPage {

private String _content = "nothing";

@Inject
private LinkSource _linkSource;

void onActivate(String content) {
_content = content;
}

TextStreamResponse onActivate() {
final String link =
_linkSource.createPageRenderLink("TextStreamPage",
true, "clicked").toAbsoluteURI();
return new TextStreamResponse("text/html",
"Content:" +
"" + _content + "" +
"click" +
"");
}
}
and this test:

   @Test
public class TextStreamTest extends AbstractIntegrationTestSuite {

@Test
public void testPageLoad() {
open("/");
open("/textstreampage/test");
assertText("content", "test");
click("link");
waitForPageToLoad("2000");
assertText("content", "clicked");
}
}

Have you tried cutting the content of your response down to a minimum?
Maybe there is something in the page?

Events and multizone update

2010-08-19 Thread Elin


I have a custom component based on an "ajaxformloop" that displays rows with
a delete buttom for them.

I need to update several zones afer deleting a row from the ajaxformloop and
cant find a way to do it. From here i have some questions about events (im
sorry im starting with tapestry and im a bit newbie)


- Since "onRemoveRow" event can only return void (cant return a
multizoneupdate), would be possible to capture when i delete a row and
update several zones from it?

- Is it possible to generate custom events on my custom components so i can
capture them into the pages i insert them into?

If you link me examples where i can see this and analize them it would be
enough. I couldnt find any by myself.

Thx in advance.

Restoring Live Page Class Reloading


Hi,

a couple months back I was attempting to solve this issue, but since it 
is more an issue of agility than functionality it got pushed back in my 
development priorities. I've got some free development time now and I'd 
really like to fix this once and for all.


I'll try to break this down into two sections (1) What I need (2) What I 
have (3) Thoughts


(1)
My webapp is divided into a few distinct modules (not in the Tapestry 
sense) one for each type of user entity in the system (admins, 
merchants, customers).


Each of these modules uses a main page class, lets call it ModuleIndex.

a) ModuleIndex functions similar to the Layout page, it must contain the 
navigation menu and then directs content from a specific page of the 
Module (I will call these SubPages) into the template.


b) The module needs to keep track of all the SubPage instances so it can 
wipe their persistent fields when navigation changes.


c) The module needs to assess the target of page navigation, and then 
filter the resulting SubPage based on user permissions within the 
application.


d) When one of the specific SubPage classes is changed in source, it 
should be able to be live reloaded without restarting the application


(2)
ModuleIndex uses a delegate and block structure to load the content from 
a SubPage of the Module into the template.


The delegate destination begins to be resolved from the Activation 
context, which maps to a static integer that is mapped to a given 
SubPage component.


ModuleIndex has a @Component for each SubPage and then maps these 
components to the activation context integers in a @SessionState Map.


On navigation, the activation context triggers the new SubPage integer. 
The delegate function checks the permissions of the new SubPage. It then 
clears the persisted fields of the last SubPage. It then returns the new 
SubPage from the Map.


SubPages all extend the TabImpl class, which in turn implements the Tab 
inferface. TabImpl and Tab are in the package com.myapp.base.


(3)
So my solution currently provides resolutions for concerns a, b, and c, 
but breaks at d. I'm pretty sure the issue is that I have @Component 
fields for each of the SubPages and furthermore they are being 
referenced in a Map. Thus the ModuleIndex can be holding a stale version 
of the class when the class is changed and reloaded, resulting in a 
ClassCastException.


I use the Map, because as far as I can figure, I need the page object to 
invoke clearPersistentFields(). I use the @Component fields, probably 
mostly because I wrote this months ago when I was first learning 
Tapestry and had a minor understanding.


I could foresee a means of making ModuleIndex more like Layout, in terms 
of loading the SubPage content into the template. Allow the t:type to be 
ModuleIndex for the html element and use @InjectPage or a related form 
of page navigation to move about.


I could foresee moving the Map of SubPages out of the ModuleIndex to a 
service or something, but I'm not able to imagine that solving the Live 
Class Reloading issues, especially since I am using 5.1.0.5.


Sorry if this has seemed long-winded, but I do believe help is a lot 
better provided when you aren't vague. I can provide code for any of my 
implementations if necessary. At this point I don't want to make this 
e-mail too long.


Thanks,
Rich

Re: DISCUSSION: Time zones and date selection

2010-08-19 Thread Fernando Padilla

 Yeah, i guess each his own.  Though the ip resolution way does seem 
"cleaner" in some ways, it does seem way more complicated in others.. 
and dependent on other services.. etc..


I guess we just realized that TimeZone Detector should be easily 
pluggable, to fit people's taste and requirements... :)

  Since our apps deals with sports team schedules, timezones are important
for us.  That's why I kept trying to suggest timezone support, whenever you
discussed locale support.

But your main question is how to determine a client's timezone.  There is
no http-header way to get it, and a Javascript timezone detector is the only
thing I could come up with.  Even with Javascript timezone detection, you
will not know a user's timezone on their first request, only after the
timezone detector executes, calls back to the server, and a user's
httpsession has been updated with their timezone.

Even if after you're OK with that, Javascript only gives you access to an
offset for a particular date, but not the actual timezone Id.  To get the
timezone Id you have to take some offset samples for a few dates, and back
track those samples against the timezone database in Java.

What I did, was to take a few date samples ( jan, jun, today, two weeks
from today ), and generate the offsets for those dates on the client-side,
then compare those values against all known timezones on the server-side.
  That will give you a short list of possible timezones that will all work
for the user.  Then I just store that against the user (httpSesstion), much
as you would store the user's Locale - through putting timezoneid in url is
not an option.

If you're interested, what's the best way to give you the few files that
would get you started?  attach to a bug?


- TimeZoneLookup.java
   - service, does the timezone database lookup, versus date offset samples
- components/common/TimeZoneDetector.java
- components/common/TimeZoneDetector.js
   - component that executes javascript to get date offset samples, and
calls back to server for capturing
   - doesn't render if timezone has been detected already
   - we have our layout include timezone detector, so all pages include it
- pages/common/TimeZoneDetector.java
   - javascript calls back independent page (not component action)
   - because i don't want to deal with unnecessary page activation of pages
containing the Detector

At the very least, these components probably should include a time zone

I haven't been able to find a sure-fire way of determing the user's time

I'm curious what kinds of solutions the community have used to address

One option is a bit of JavaScript that reports the client's time zone (or

automatically.

Re: Custom Validation Bubbles

Whenever it's not obvious what's happening I step into the code with a 
debugger. Set a breakpoint before you call recordError and you can step through 
the whole process. Then you can set a breakpoint in the validation decorator 
and step through the code to see why it doesn't think there is an error.

I saw that it was depending on the control name, tracked down where it was set, 
and there you have it!

Are you calling waitForPageToLoad directly? Do you need to?


Yes, as otherwise the following test would run in the previous page.

Hi,

we are hit by the bug described in TAP5-1180 (the same as TAP5-930,
which was closed "Incomplete"). The findings the reporter of the bug
Paul Stanton made are the same we suspect to be the problem.

How do other people on this list solve this problem? Does anybody use
the LinkSubmit component?

Query parameters

2010-08-19 Thread Davor Hrg

I'm posting this to user group since it is mostly usage question.

The new query parameter binding is a welcome addition, especialy in
combination
with replacing the page pool with static instaces. All nice and well, but
how do I pass
query parameters through PageLink or AcionLink ?

Best to explain it through the example I'm using it with:
There is a page that lists documents, and there is a search form with few
fields.
One field is the "year" which tells the page to limit to docs from that
year.
So I changed the @Persist to @ActivationRequestParameter and after
submitting
the search form I get a nice ur: docs/list?year=2009.
Ok, this works well, I can have multiple tabs with different filters, much
like php which I
like very much and use often.
but there are more things that do not work:
1. using PageLink from another page to jump to @ActivationRequestParameter
2. using ActionLink to pass query parameters (annotated with
@RequestParameter)

3. If there are more than one such param there is no way to create a link to
it self with one of them changed
   for example on page: docs/list?year=2009&type=FI I can not create a link
directly to docs/list?year=2010&type=FI
   it would be nice to be able to write this: 2010 to get the mentioned result

for that matter a namespace xmln:p="tapestry:parameter" or new one like
xmlns:q="tapestry:query" would be nice
for the ActionLink and PageLink.

 This is something that's been nagging me. Although there's a bunch of
 good
 options for selecting a date (or date/time) as JavaScript components
 bult
 into Tapestry, or available elsewhere ... none of them address the issue
 of
 the client and the server operating in different time zones.

 At the very least, these components probably should include a time zone
 drop
 down list (or other means of selection).

 I haven't been able to find a sure-fire way of determing the user's time
 zone from the HttpRequest.

 I'm curious what kinds of solutions the community have used to address
 this
 issue. It would be nice to come up with a true solution for Tapestry
 5.3.

 One option is a bit of JavaScript that reports the client's time zone
 (or
 just time) to the server so that the server can identify their time zone
 automatically.

Re: DISCUSSION: Time zones and date selection

In addition to my previous message:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41504/timezone-lookup-from-latitude-longitude

I will probably use this approach to determine initial client timezone since
I'm already use URL/IP to location functionality there:
http://github.com/dmitrygusev/ping-service/blob/master/ping-service/src/dmitrygusev/ping/services/IPUtils.java

(FYI this class uses http://ip-whois.net to resolve locations.)

In current implementation I'm using UTC time by default in ping-service
(GAE's default timezone), but user may specify its timezone in profile.
