I have several unit tests that use Squares OkHttps MockWebServer. The tests run all fine, and everything works very well. The one thing I couldn't do so far is to verify the content of the POST requests.
Why do I want to do that?
The REST Api I'm developing against has some methods, that require the data objects to be sent in the POST requests body, other methods require the objects to be sent as a FormUrlEncoded data field. So I want to ensure, that the Retrofit interface was set up correctly acc. to the spec.
The following unit test will pass, but the first one sends the data incorrectly inside the body:
//Incorrect
#POST("api/v1/user/senddata")
Observable<Void> senddata (
#Path("VIN") String vin,
#Body PoiWrapper wrappedPoi);
//Correct
#FormUrlEncoded
#POST("api/v1/user/senddata")
Observable<Void> senddata(
#Path("VIN") String vin,
#Field("data") PoiWrapper wrappedPoi);
I know the MockWebServer has the takeRequest() method, but I'm stuck with getting the actual field and data from that requests body.
Thank you for your help!
Try following these examples:
RecordedRequest recordedRequest = server.takeRequest();
assertEquals("POST", recordedRequest.getMethod());
assertEquals("def", recordedRequest.getBody().readUtf8());
assertEquals("3", recordedRequest.getHeader("Content-Length"));
assertEquals("text/plain; charset=utf-8", recordedRequest.getHeader("Content-Type"));

I would like to retrieve some historical stock prices via a REST API from the following site:
https://www.boerse-frankfurt.de/zertifikat/de0007873291-open-end-zertifikat-auf-dow-jones-industrial-average
The response is a JSON.
Basically, the query can be done as follows: An OPTIONS call is sent without parameters and then a GET request with header parameters.
Both calls are sent to the following address:
https://api.boerse-frankfurt.de/v1/data/quote_history_derivatives?isin=DE0007873291&mic=XSC&from=2021-11-12T07%3A00%3A00.000Z&to=2021-11-12T21%3A00%3A00.000Z&offset=0&limit=25
The following two parameters are included in the header:
Client-Date: 2021-11-16T23:02:29.529Z
X-Client-TraceId: d2d6911d81ebbbff7a7549555a2c26d6
And now my question: how do you get the X-Client-TraceId? It looks like a UUID, but it doesn't seem to be one. The value changes with every page view in the browser. But you can't just enter any value.
Many greetings,
Trebor
Since this question was asked, someone has written a blog post about this exact topic. The algorithm detailed there still seems to be in use (as of 2022-03-12).
An excerpt of the relevant parts:
Client-Date
This is the current time, converted to a string with Javascript’s toISOString() function.
[...]
X-Client-TraceId
[...]
salt is a fixed string, in this case w4icATTGtnjAZMbkL3kJwxMfEAKDa3MN. Apparently it appears in the source code as-is so it must be constant.
X-Client-TraceId is the md5 of time + url + salt.
Note: time is the string sent in the Client-Date header.
The blog post has some additional information around the process of reverse engineering this algorithm and the X-Security header.
I am trying to retrieve the complete json response in VUGEN. I am new to writing script in VUGEN. I am using web-HTTP/HTML protocol and just wrote a simple script to call a rest service with POST.
Action()
{
web_rest("POST: http://losthost:8181/DBConnector/restServices/cass...",
"URL=http://losthost:8181/DBConnector/restServices/oep_catalog_v1",
"Method=POST",
"EncType=raw",
"Snapshot=t868726.inf",
HEADERS,
"Name=filter", "Value=upc=123456789", ENDHEADER,
"Name=env", "Value=qa", ENDHEADER,
LAST);
return 0;
}
I don't know what to do next. I searched on the internet to get any command to pull response value. I got web_reg_save_param but it just pulls one value. I need the complete response saved in a file or string.
Please help.
VuGen provides several APIs to extract response data.
For example, you can do the boundary based correlation with empty left and right boundary. The sample below saves the web_rest response (body of donuts.js) in the parameter CorrelationParameter3.
web_reg_save_param_ex(
"ParamName=CorrelationParameter3",
"LB=",
"RB=",
SEARCH_FILTERS,
"Scope=Body",
LAST);
web_rest("GET: donuts.js",
"URL=http://adobe.github.io/Spry/data/json/donuts.js",
"Method=GET",
"Snapshot=t769333.inf",
LAST);
This process of locating, extracting and replacing dynamic values is called “correlation”.

I have built a MVCPortlet that runs on Liferay 6.2.
It uses a PortletPReferences page that works fine to set/get String preferences parameters via the top right configuration menu.
Now I would need to store there a String[] instead of a regular String.
It seems to be possible as you can store and get some String[] via
portletPreferences.getValues("paramName", StringArrayData);
I want the data to be stored from a form multiline select.
I suppose that I need to call my derived controller (derived from DefaultConfigurationAction) and invoke there portletPreferences.setValues(String, String[]);
If so, in the middle, I will neeed the config jsp to pass the String[] array to the controller via a
request.setAttribute(String, String[]);
Do you think the app can work this way in theory?
If so, here are the problems I encountered when trying to make it work:
For any reason, in my config jsp,
request.setAttribute("paramName", myStringArray);
does not work ->
actionRequest.getAttribute("paramName")
retrieves null in my controller
This is quite a surprise as this usually works.
Maybe the config.jsp works a bit differently than standard jsps?
Then, how can I turn my multiline html select into a String[] attribute?
I had in mind to call a JS function when the form is submitted.
this JS function would generate the StringArray from the select ID (easy)
and then would call the actionURL (more complicated).
Is it possible?
thx in advance.
In your render phase (e.g. in config.jsp) you can't change the state of your portlet - e.g. I wouldn't expect any attributes to persist that are set there. They might survive to the end of the render phase, but not persist to the next action call. From a rendered UI to action they need to be part of a form, not request attributes.
You can store portletpreferences as String[], no problem, see the API for getting and setting them
I think maybe you can use an array in client side, and you can update the javascript array, when user is selecting new values.
So you have the javascript array, then when user click on the action, you can execute the action from javascript also, something like this:
Here "products" is the array with your products.
A.io.request(url, {type: 'POST',
data: {
key: products
},
on: {
success: function(event, id, obj) {
}
}
});
From Action methd you can try to get the parameter with:
ParamUtil.getParameterValues(request,"key");
I have a class named EmailNotificationContentBuilder. As the name suggest the class is responsible to generate content for an email notification to be sent after a process ends. The notification basically tells whether the process was successful or not, the start time end time and the statuses of the child processes ( in tabular format ). I have following doubts regarding writing Junit test cases for this class:-
Is it required to have a Junit for this class? Since it generates textual content.
If yes then how can I assert the content generated by the class ? Some of the contents are represented in tabular format.
Do you want to make sure it does what it's supposed to do? If yes, then write a test. If you don't care if the code works fine or not, then don't write one.
This is the most typical thing a unit test does: test that the value returned by a method is correct. Get the String it returns, and check that it's what you expect it to be:
#Test
public void shouldReturnTabularData() {
EmailNotificationContentBuilder builder = new EmailNotificationContentBuilder();
String result = builder.build("some input");
assertEquals("title1\ttitle2\nvalue1\tvalue2", result);
}
I need to update multiple records using a single HTTP request. An example is selecting a list of emails and marking them as 'Unread'. What is the best (Restful) way to achieve this?
The way I doing right now is, by using a sub resource action
PUT http://example.com/api/emails/mark-as-unread
(in the body)
{ids:[1,2,3....]}
I read this site - http://restful-api-design.readthedocs.io/en/latest/methods.html#actions - and it suggests to use an "actions" sub-collection. e.g.
POST http://example.com/api/emails/actions
(in the body)
{"type":"mark-as-unread", "ids":[1,2,3....]}
Quotes from the referenced webpage:
Sometimes, it is required to expose an operation in the API that inherently is non RESTful. One example of such an operation is where you want to introduce a state change for a resource, but there are multiple ways in which the same final state can be achieved, ... A great example of this is the difference between a “power off” and a “shutdown” of a virtual machine.
As a solution to such non-RESTful operations, an “actions” sub-collection can be used on a resource. Actions are basically RPC-like messages to a resource to perform a certain operation. The “actions” sub-collection can be seen as a command queue to which new action can be POSTed, that are then executed by the API. ...
It should be noted that actions should only be used as an exception, when there’s a good reason that an operation cannot be mapped to one of the standard RESTful methods. ...
Create an algorithm-endpoint, like
http://example.com/api/emails/mark-unread
bulk-update is an algorithm name, a noun. It gets to be the endpoint name in REST, the list of ids are arguments to this algorithm. Typically people send them as URL query arguments in the POST call like
http://example.com/api/emails/mark-unread?ids=1,2,3,4
This is very safe, as POST is non-idempotent and you need not care about any side effects. You might decide differently and if your bulk update carries entire state of such objects opt for PUT
http://example.com/api/emails/bulk-change-state
then you would have to put the actual state into the body of the http call.
I'd prefer a bunch of simple algo like mark-unread?ids=1,2,3,4 rather than one monolithic PUT as it helps with debugging, transparent in logs etc
It a bit complicated to get array of models into an action method as argument. The easiest approach is to form a json string from your client and POST all that to the server (to your action mehtod). You can adopt the following approach
Say your email model is like this:
public class Email
{
public int EmailID {get; set;}
public int StatusID {get; set;}
// more properties
}
So your action method will take the form:
public bool UpdateAll(string EmailsJson)
{
Email[] emails = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Emails[]>(EmailsJson);
foreach(Email eml in emails)
{
//do update logic
}
}
Using Json.NET to help with the serialization.
On the client you can write the ajax call as follows:
$.ajax({
url: 'api/emailsvc/updateall',
method: 'post',
data: {
EmailsJson: JSON.stringify([{
ID: 1,
StatusID:2,
//...more json object properties.
},
// more json objects
])
},
success:function(result){
if(result)
alert('updated successfully');
});
