But …

Well … yes your friends aren’t as much excited as you are !

It looks like they are trying to find what is wrong with your idea  !

And that’s pretty much anoying rights ? 

Here are some examples of what most of your friends start saying  :

“I think I’ve already seen that somewhere “

“Did you look if that doesn’t exist yet ?”

“Are you sure someone didn’t already make it yet ?”

“But what is the business model anyway, … I don’t understand … ?”

“Be aware because it can be anoying if one of your user start [replace here with something that should not be done by a user with your web site]“

And you know what ? yes they’re right ! the idea already exists but not exactly the same way your are seeing and planning it to be, yes it’s true that someone could use your web site a misappropiate way !

For the misappropriate use there is nothing to do either way : there will always exist people trying to pervert your idea.

Now for the point about having a real original idea I think that’s impossible. Even if someone has never already make it on the web, the idea was already there : having an idea is not that difficult by the way and I think that even ordinary ideas can be successfull.

About the business model : I don’t think that’s the most important when starting building a web site ! What I mean here is that you should not anticipate how you’re going to win money with your site, but you should let your users take the control I bet that you have much to learn about how they are actually using it over the first place :  this is why even an ordinary idea could have a chance to succeed, letting the user taking control of an idea is the best way to transform an ordinary idea to a great one !

Recently I started using JPA and so I’ve quiclky start creating DAO to put my JPA code in it.

My service layer calls my DAOs and that’s great, but …

When you use JPA or any ORM tools there is many things that will be done out of the scope of your code.

Lets take the OneToMany association for example and say that you have set a transitive persistence.

@Entity
@Table(name="USER")
public class User implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

@OneToMany (cascade=CascadeType.PERSIST)
private List<span></span> storeCollection;

...

To persist a new user you call the persist method in the UserDAO :

public class UserDAO {

  @PersistenceContext
  private EntityManager em;

  public void save(User user{
    em.persist(user);
  }
}

public class CoreServiceImpl implements CoreService {

  @Autowired
  private UserDAO userDAO;

  public void saveUser() {
    User user = new User();
    user.getStoreCollection().add(new Store());
    userDAO.save(user);
  }
}

Since we have set cascade=CascadeType.PERSIST in our annotation, the new store object will be automatically inserted in database.

This is a great feature but when using it you must be aware that your are going to lose the control of a part of your application code : you should have created a StoreDAO with a save method to explicitly persist Store object.

The way I see DAO is that it’s allow you be loosely coupled with your data access api : you don’t need to know that it’s using iBatis, direct JDBC, etc … and another promise is to potentially allow you to switch from an implementation to another without having to change the code of your service layer.

This is this last promise which is not true any more if you start using the transitive persistence feature given by JPA and many others ORM framework.

The Use of the HttpService gives us the opportunity to retreive XML data from a server.
But … the problem starts when we receive these data : how could we manipulate these data from a strongly typed manner ?
Let’s take an example to illustrate the issue :

The following code retrieves xml data and registers a callback to parse the result :

var httpService:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
httpService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, onLoadListResult);
httpService.url="TodoItems.xml";
httpService.resultFormat=HTTPService.RESULT_FORMAT_OBJECT;
httpService.send();

private function onLoadListResult(e:ResultEvent):void {
	var resultList:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
	for each (var o:ObjectProxy in  ArrayCollection(e.result.List.TodoItemVO)) {
		trace(o.title);
	}
}

The content of TodoItems.xml is the following :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<List>
	<TodoItemVO>
		<id>1</id>
		<title>Simple title</title>
		<detail>detail</detail>
	</TodoItemVO>
	<TodoItemVO>
		<id>2</id>
		<title>another Title</title>
		<detail>detail2</detail>
	</TodoItemVO>
</List>

So the output for this will be the following :

Simple title
another Title

It works … so where is the issue ?
Well what I would like is to cast the result in strongly type object.
The direct solution would be to create my typed object and copy each attribut in it.
My callback function would be something like this :

private function onLoadListResult(e:ResultEvent):void {
	var resultList:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
	for each (var o:ObjectProxy in  ArrayCollection(e.result.List.TodoItemVO)) {
		var todoItemVO:TodoItemVO = new TodoItemVO();
		todoItemVO.id = o.valueOf().id;
		todoItemVO.title = o.valueOf().title;
		todoItemVO.detail = o.valueOf().detail;
		resultList.addItem(todoItemVO);
	}
}

But what if I have more than 3 attributes to copy ?

Solution :

I’ve found this solution from the Darron Schall blog’s in this blog entry :

He has developped an utility object (ObjectTranslator) that will copy your data in the strongly typed object with only one line of code :

ObjectTranslator : converts a plain vanilla object to be an instance of the class passed as the second variable.  This is not a recursive funtion and will only work for the first level of nesting.  When you have deeply nested objects, you first need to convert the nested objects to class instances, and then convert the top level object.

My code will then look like this :

private function onLoadListResult(e:ResultEvent):void {
	var resultList:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
	for each (var o:ObjectProxy in  ArrayCollection(e.result.List.TodoItemVO)) {           
		resultList.addItem(ObjectTranslator.objectToInstance(o.valueOf(), TodoItemVO) as TodoItemVO);
	}
}

First step : in their web application you just select all the plugins you need then click on “Start Download” and that’s it ! you are downloading your own eclipse distrib in a minute !
When I think how painfull it is without this great tools to get each plugin separatly, having to check that you have the needed dependencies …

But wait there’s more ! Once you are using the yoxos distrib their is a yoxos plugin embeded in eclipse which add a new perspective. From this perspective you can choose to add new plugins and yoxos will check for you all the needed dependencies and download them !

Adding new plugins has never been so easy!

Let say you have a VO object like this one :

package org.test.vo {

    [Bindable]
    public class PersonVO  {

        public var age:int;
        public var firstName:String;
        public var lastName:String;
    }
}

Notice the [Bindable] annotation added before the class definition, this is telling the compiler that all the public attribut inside the class should be able to dispatch an event when their value are changed so that they can be used as the source of data binding.

Solution 1 :

The following Flex code can be used to display the PersonVO data :

    <mx:Form>
        <mx:FormItem label="First Name">
            <mx:TextInput id="firstNameId"/>
        </mx:FormItem>       
        <mx:FormItem label="Last Name">
            <mx:TextInput id="lastNameId"/>
        </mx:FormItem>
        <mx:FormItem label="Age">
            <mx:TextInput id="ageId"/>
        </mx:FormItem>
    </mx:Form>

If you want a “two way” binding between the UI and the model you need to write the following

    <mx:Binding source="personVO.firstName" destination="firstNameId.text" />
    <mx:Binding source="firstNameId.text" destination="personVO.firstName" />

    <mx:Binding source="personVO.lastName" destination="lastNameId.text" />
    <mx:Binding source="lastNameId.text" destination="personVO.lastName" />

    <mx:Binding source="personVO.age.toString()" destination="ageId.text" />
    <mx:Binding source="int(ageId.text)" destination="personVO.age" />

Note : since age is an int type we need to write some extra code to tell flex how to cast from String to int and vice versa.

Solution 2 :

The binding can also be described the following way :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" xmlns:local="*">

    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.controls.Alert;
            private function showPersonValue():void {
                Alert.show(    "firstName = " + aPerson.firstName + "\n" +
                             "lastName = " + aPerson.lastName + "\n"+
                             "age = " + aPerson.age , "Info");
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>

    <local:PersonVO id="aPerson">
        <local:firstName>{firstNameId.text}</local:firstName>
        <local:lastName>{lastNameId.text}</local:lastName>
        <local:age>{int(ageId.text)}</local:age>
    </local:PersonVO>

    <mx:Form>
        <mx:FormItem label="First Name">
            <mx:TextInput id="firstNameId" text="{aPerson.firstName}"/>
        </mx:FormItem>
        <mx:FormItem label="Last Name">
            <mx:TextInput id="lastNameId" text="{aPerson.lastName}"/>
        </mx:FormItem>
        <mx:FormItem label="Age">
            <mx:TextInput id="ageId" text="{aPerson.age}"/>
        </mx:FormItem>
    </mx:Form>

    <mx:Button label="Show Person Value" click="showPersonValue()"/>

</mx:Application>

Another solution for creating a two way binding using a “in-house utility api” found here

This solution gives the following to describe the two way binding :

...
<mx:Script>
	<![CDATA[
		public var userModel : UserModel;
	]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Form>
	<mx:FormItem label="First Name">
		<mx:TextInput id="txtFirstName"/>
	</mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
<ModelBinding model="{userModel}" field="firstName" target="{txtFirstName}"/>
...

In my opinion the main drawback for this solution is that we are losing the error warning during compilation time : if you change field name from “firstname” to “fname” for example you won’t be informed of this error.
Finally
I would like to point out this feature request posted at adobe asking for indicating two way binding in mx:binding tag and the following solution :  Two-way Data Binding – Functional and Design Specification.

A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that involves paying abnormally high returns to investors out of the money paid in by subsequent investors, rather than from the profit from any real business.

This a just for showing some different way of making a simple query.

By the way I know that these simple tests can’t be seen seen as serious bencharking but at least it shows that using JoSQL on in memory data can enhance performance, if this make sens in your app to keep the data in memory. These are the results from the JoSQL test :

items count : 1680
JoSQL query run total time = 15 ms
JPA query run total time = 609 ms

Looking on the net for some examples I've found this first one :

Public Sub wsCall_test1()

Dim objIE As Object
Dim Anymore As Boolean
Dim Found As Boolean

Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
objIE.Visible = False
objIE.Navigate "http://localhost:8182/"
Do While objIE.Busy: DoEvents: Loop
Do While objIE.readystate <> 4: DoEvents: Loop

MsgBox objIE.document.documentElement.innerText

Dim docXML As String
docXML = objIE.document.documentElement.innerText

Dim doc As DOMDocument
Set doc = New DOMDocument
MsgBox doc.loadXML(docXML)

MsgBox doc.selectSingleNode("Toto/Titi").Attributes(0).Text

End Sub

Finally it has turn out that it can be simplified to this :

</pre>
Public Sub wscall_test2()

Dim doc As DOMDocument
Set doc = New DOMDocument

MsgBox doc.Load("http://localhost:8182/")

MsgBox doc.XML

MsgBox doc.selectSingleNode("Toto/Titi").Attributes(0).Text

End Sub

In both test the msgbox used to output information are the following :

Warning : the monitoring methods are available on all the java classes in any conditions albeit calling these method outside synchronied code will throw an exception. The following example describes it :

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
  Object lock = new Object();

  synchronized (lock) {
    System.out.println("calling a monitor method inside a synchronized block");
    lock.wait(1000);
  }

  System.out.println("calling a monitor method outside a synchronized block");
  lock.wait(1000);
}

This will lead to the following output :

calling a monitor method inside a synchronized block
calling a monitor method outside a synchronized block
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.IllegalMonitorStateException: current thread not owner
at java.lang.Object.wait(Native Method)
at TestThreadMonitor.main(TestThreadMonitor.java:15)

Thread Life Cycle

(Source reference: http://www.witscale.com/scjp_studynotes/chapter8.html)

There is two wayq to create a thread an run it :

Directly by extending the Thread class:

public class MyThread extends Thread {
  @Override
  public void run() {
  // do some stuff here
  }
}

To call it somewhere in you java code :

new MyThread().start();

Or by implementing the Runnable interface:

public class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
  Public void run() {
  // do some stuff here
  }
}

To call it somewhere in you java code :

new Thread(new MyRunnable()).start();

The best practice is to use the Runnable interface, this allows you to extends a business class or other if needed and its offers a better separation (than being stuck with the Thread class).
