WinRT Exception on SetSourceAsync - windows-runtime

I'm running into an exception in C# code intended to set the contents of a WinUI3 Image object. I don't know how to interpret the exception message.
Here's the code:
using var responseStream = await response.Content.ReadAsInputStreamAsync();
var memStream = new InMemoryRandomAccessStream();
await RandomAccessStream.CopyAsync(responseStream, memStream);
memStream.Seek(0);
var retVal = new Image();
var source = new BitmapImage();
// the exception is thrown on the next line
await source.SetSourceAsync( outStream );
retVal.Source = source;
The exception message is
Unspecified error (Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.)
What's weird is that calls to this code sometimes succeed and sometimes don't, even when the exact same parameters (which define the Uri that the response stream is derived from) are specified and the exact same response is received.
That suggests there's something in the context of the call that's the problem. The cases that succeed are when the code is called from a viewmodel in a WinUI3 test app. The cases that fail are when the code is called from a custom WinUI3 control I've written.
I thought there might be a "called from the wrong thread" problem but in both the success and failure cases the code is being called from the main UI thread.
Another odd thing is that the code throwing the exception is contained within a try/catch block (not shown for simplicity)...but the catch block doesn't catch the exception. Instead, it gets caught by the unhandled exception handler generated by WinUI3.
Advice on how to proceed with researching what's going wrong -- or potential solutions! -- would be appreciated, thanx.

throw .net-wrappable exception from native COM-Dll

In a native-C++-Dll (MFC): how to throw an Exception (with some additional text) that can be catched and handled from a .NET-Client?
This is the native-MFC-Dll which wants to throw an Exception:
void RGaugeTVDDataReader::LoadDataFromFile_HandleException(const CString& szPath) const
{
CString sMessage;
sMessage.Format(_T("TVD-File %s"), static_cast<LPCTSTR>(szPath));
/*1*/ AfxThrowFileException(CFileException::genericException, -1, static_cast<LPCTSTR>(sMessage));
/*2*/ throw std::runtime_error(CT2A(sMessage));
}
The Caller is a .Net-Dll which uses the native dll via a .net-generated-COM-Wrapper.
Both variants (/1/ and /2/) fall into the catch-Block of the .Net-Component but what I get here is just a ´System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException´ and the exceptionmessage says "External component has thrown an exception.". Included ErrorCode and HResult is 0x80004005. There is no inner exception, nothing to find about my given text and the stacktrace only contains the managed part.
So the question is: how to throw an excpetion from the native-c++-dll so that a .net-client using it via COM can at least see the message-string?
Alternative question: how to catch and handle the thrown exception in .net correctly?

Some questions about Google Data Studio and Google Apps Script?

How to get the languageCode in the method getData()? Or just outside the getConfig() method? I read that languageCode is passed in the request parameter of the getData() method. I have other properties of the config. But languageCode not. This is the output of the requestparameter:
{dateRange={endDate=2018-12-17, startDate=2018-11-20}, fields=[{name=Field_1}, {name=Field2}]}
This is my getConfig method:
function getConfig(params) {
var cc = DataStudioApp.createCommunityConnector();
var config = cc.getConfig();
var lang = params['languageCode'];
config
.newInfo()
.setId('id_1')
.setText(i18n('SomeText'))
config.setDateRangeRequired(true);
return config.build();
}
And one more question. When I throw an exception in a message, along with the text of the exception, a string is also displayed on which I threw an exception. Is there any way to hide this information? And just display the text of the thrown exception? Without the string on which the exception was thrown?

The debug information is only shown when isAdminUser() returns True. To omit this information, set this to return false.

Groovy end exception different from exception thrown

I am running into an extremely strange behavior in Groovy. When I throw an exception from a closure in a Script, the end exception that was thrown was different.
Here are the code and the details:
public class TestDelegate {
def method(Closure closure) {
closure.setResolveStrategy(Closure.DELEGATE_FIRST);
closure.delegate = this;
closure.call();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Make Script from File
File dslFile = new File("src/Script.dsl");
GroovyShell shell = new GroovyShell();
Script dslScript = shell.parse(dslFile);
TestDelegate myDelegate = new TestDelegate();
dslScript.metaClass.methodMissing = {
// will run method(closure)
String name, arguments ->
myDelegate.invokeMethod(name, arguments);
}
dslScript.metaClass.propertyMissing = {
String name ->
println "Will throw error now!"
throw new MyOwnException("errrrror");
}
dslScript.run();
}
}
class MyOwnException extends Exception {
public MyOwnException(String message) {
super(message);
}
}
Script.dsl:
method {
println a;
}
So the plan is that when I run the main() method in TestDelegate, it will run the DSL script, which calls for the method method(). Not finding it in the script, it will invoke methodMissing, which then invokes method() from myDelegate, which in turns invoke the closure, setting the delegate to the testDelegate. So far, so good. Then the closure is supposed to try printing out "a", which is not defined and will thus set off propertyMissing, which will will throw MyOwnException.
When I run the code, however, I get the following output:
Will throw error now!
Exception in thread "main" groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: a for class: TestDelegate
Now, it must have reached that catch block, since it printed "Will throw error now!" It must have thrown MyOwnException too! But somewhere along the lines, MyOwnException was converted to MissingPropertyException, and I have no idea why. Does anyone have any idea?
P.S. if I remove closure.setResolveStrategy(Closure.DELEGATE_FIRST) from TestDelegate#method(), the code acts as expected and throws MyOwnException. But I really need the setResolveStrategy(Closure.DELEGATE_FIRST) for my DSL project. And I would prefer to know the root cause of this rather than just removing a line or two and see that it works without understanding why.
I think this is what essentially happens: With a delegate-first resolve strategy, the Groovy runtime first tries to access property a on myDelegate, which results in a MissingPropertyException because no such property exists. Then it tries propertyMissing, which causes a MyOwnException to be thrown. Eventually the runtime gives up and rethrows the first exception encountered (a design decision), which happens to be the MissingPropertyException.
With an owner-first resolve strategy, propertyMissing is consulted first, and hence MyOwnException is eventually rethrown.
Looking at the stack trace and source code underneath should provide more evidence.

Exception when sending big soap request

There is a web-service deployed on tomcat 6 and exposed via apache-cxf 2.3.3. A generated sources stubs using wsdl2java to be able to call this service.
Things seemed fine until I sent big request(~1Mb). This request wasn't processed and failing with exception:
Interceptor for {http://localhost/}ResourceAllocationServiceSoapService has thrown
exception, unwinding now org.apache.cxf.binding.soap.SoapFault:
Error reading XMLStreamReader.
...
com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxEOFException: Unexpected EOF in prolog
at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [1,0]
Is some kind of max request length here, I'm totally stuck with it.
Vladimir's suggestion worked. This code below will help others with understanding where to put the 1000000.
public void handleMessage(SoapMessage message) throws Fault {
// Get message content for dirty editing...
InputStream inputStream = message.getContent(InputStream.class);
if (inputStream != null)
{
String processedSoapEnv = "";
// Cache InputStream so it can be read independently
CachedOutputStream cachedInputStream = new CachedOutputStream(1000000);
try {
IOUtils.copy(inputStream,cachedInputStream);
inputStream.close();
cachedInputStream.close();
InputStream tmpInputStream = cachedInputStream.getInputStream();
try{
String inputBuffer = "";
int data;
while((data = tmpInputStream.read()) != -1){
byte x = (byte)data;
inputBuffer += (char)x;
}
/**
* At this point you can choose to reformat the SOAP
* envelope or simply view it just make sure you put
* an InputStream back when you done (see below)
* otherwise CXF will complain.
*/
processedSoapEnv = fixSoapEnvelope(inputBuffer);
}
catch(IOException e){
}
}
catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
// Re-set the SOAP InputStream with the new envelope
message.setContent(InputStream.class,new ByteArrayInputStream( processedSoapEnv.getBytes()));
/**
* If you just want to read the InputStream and not
* modify it then you just need to put it back where
* it was using the CXF cached inputstream
*
* message.setContent(InputStream.class,cachedInputStream.getInputStream());
*/
}
}
I figured out what was wrong. Actually it was bug inside interceptor's code:
CachedOutputStream requestStream = new CachedOutputStream()
When I replaced this with
CachedOutputStream requestStream = new CachedOutputStream(1000000);
things start working fine.
So the request was just trunkated during copying of streams.
I run into same issue of geting "com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxEOFException: Unexpected EOF in prolog" when using CachedOutputStream class.
Looking at sources of CachedOutputStream class the threshold is used to switch between storing stream's data from "in memory" to "a file".
Assuming stream operates on data that exceeds threshold it gets stored in a file thus following code is going to break
IOUtils.copy(inputStream,cachedInputStream);
inputStream.close();
cachedInputStream.close(); //closes the stream, the file on disk gets deleted
InputStream tmpInputStream = cachedInputStream.getInputStream(); //returned tmpInputStream is brand *empty* one
// ... reading tmpInputStream here will produce WstxEOFException
Increasing 'threshold' does help as all stream data is stored into memory and in such scenario calling cachedInputStream.close() does not really close the underlying stream implementation so one can still read from it later on.
Here is 'fixed' version of above code (at least it worked without exception for me)
IOUtils.copy(inputStream,cachedInputStream);
inputStream.close();
InputStream tmpInputStream = cachedInputStream.getInputStream();
cachedInputStream.close();
// reading from tmpInputStream here works fine
Temporary file gets deleted when close() is called on tmpInputStream and there are no more other references to it, see source code of CachedOutputStream.maybeDeleteTempFile()

Zend AMF and exception handling

I have created an Zend AMF service using the FlashBuilder tools. What I wanted to try was to change one of those automatically created methods to throw an exception in order to see the behaviour. Instead of the exception being serialized back to my Flex app it gives me the following:
[RPC Fault faultString="Channel disconnected" faultCode="Client.Error.DeliveryInDoubt" faultDetail="Channel disconnected before an acknowledgement was received"]

This is the code:
public function getAllUser() {
$stmt = mysqli_prepare($this->connection, "SELECT * FROM $this->tablename");
$this->throwExceptionOnError();
mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
$this->throwExceptionOnError();
$rows = array();
mysqli_stmt_bind_result($stmt, $row->id, $row->user_group_id, $row->username, $row->password, $row->active, $row->activation_key, $row->timezone, $row->created_on, $row->modified_on);
while (mysqli_stmt_fetch($stmt)) {
$row->created_on = new DateTime($row->created_on);
$row->modified_on = new DateTime($row->modified_on);
$rows[] = $row;
$row = new stdClass();
mysqli_stmt_bind_result($stmt, $row->id, $row->user_group_id, $row->username, $row->password, $row->active, $row->activation_key, $row->timezone, $row->created_on, $row->modified_on);
}
mysqli_stmt_free_result($stmt);
mysqli_close($this->connection);
$errorCode = 1;
throw(new Exception('the error message you want', $errorCode));
return $rows;
}
Notice the throw statement:
throw(new Exception('the error message you want', $errorCode));
I really didn't expect this. How can I make it work?
Thank you in advanced!!!
Zend Amf is just a serialization protocol of response types to cast them into the AMF format. No error messages are sent back as they normally have sensitive security information in them. Most other PHP amf serialization do not work this way. If you have an exception you need to catch it and convert it to a standard support response type. Also in any of your code every Try needs a Catch as it is not a control structure even if PHP allows you to get away with it.
If you have configured your endpoint to not be production and just need it for debugging.
require_once 'Zend/Amf/Exception.php';
throw new Zend_Amf_Exception('the error message you want', $errorCode);
Well it does serialize the exception message and code which does the job for us. Partially but does it. I didn't notice that the service component I copied the code from in my question contained an exception handler which would suppress the exception and just disconnect the channel. I removed the exception handler letting the exception bubble up to Zend which in turn send the exception message and message code to the client.
I would like to have the actual exception sent as an AS3 object but what can I say. In this way I would have the properties of the exception serialized also. Unfortunately the same goes for custom exceptions.
