I'm using Progress OpenEdge.
I've created a dataset and nested a few temp-tables. I put in specific fields in order to relate the temp-tables.
In xml if you want to hide the fields that you use to relate the temp-tables you would use xml-node-type "HIDDEN" next to the field where you defined the temp-table.
So when you view the xml document after "dataset handle":write-xml("whatever-paramters"). The relation fields aren't seen.
The question...
How do I do the same with json?
I can't find anything that would resemble xml's xml-node-type "HIDDEN".
See the SERIALIZE-HIDDEN attribute.

There is a field called "item" which was needed only once because from the source I was only getting once. Now I am getting multiple times and my mapping is breaking. So, how should I handle this.
Field name is item.
Current Output-
Expected-
Below is the link with my old input, new input and current spec.
FYI-There are more field in the items tag. This is just for understanding

I have n polygons with ids "test-1-1", "test-1-2" .... "test-1-n" which represent a single logical entity. Format of id can be generalized as < entity_name>-< entity_id>-< i>, where i is added to distinguish ids of multiple polygons.
My query here is, I want to display only "test" when any of these polygons is clicked. Currently id of selected polygon is displayed in info-box.
Is there any cesium way to do this? I would not prefer manipulating the strings at runtime.
A Cesium Entity has three fields of interest to the InfoBox (the thing that pops up when an Entity is selected).
entity.id - Each entity in a dataSource is required to have a unique id (a GUID will be auto-generated if no ID is supplied at creation). It is an arbitrary string and does not need to be human-friendly.
entity.name - This is the human-friendly name of the Entity. It does not need to be unique, you may have as many duplicate names as you like. It is half a line or less of plain text (not HTML).
entity.description - This is a sandboxed HTML description of the entity, and can span multiple paragraphs or include tables and other styling.
The InfoBox will attempt to show entity.name on its title bar by default, and will only fall back to show entity.id in the title bar if name is missing (because name is optional, id is not).
The body of the InfoBox only appears below the title bar if entity.description is set (otherwise only the bar is shown). The description is rendered with a sandboxed iframe (to offer some resistance to cross-site scripting for apps that display user-supplied entity descriptions).
I have n polygons with ids "test-1-1", "test-1-2" .... "test-1-n" ...
For this case, I would keep the existing ids, and set name to be the string you wish to see in the InfoBox popup. Multiple entities can have the same name but not the same id.
Alright, so I'm pretty new to Spring, but I was asked to resolve a bug. So in our application, we have a page that queries a database based on an id. However, not all entries are unique to the id. The id and date pair, on the other hand, do define unique entries.
So this page takes in an id. If there is only a single entry related to this id, everything works fine. However, if there are multiple entries, the page displays a radio button selection of the various dates that pertain to that id. We use something like:
< form:radiobutton id="loadDate" path="loadDate" value="${date}" label="${date}" />
Later on the same page, we want to display the data for that option. As part of it, we display the date of that selection:
< form:input id="aiLoadDate" path="loadDate" maxlength="22" size="22" class="readonly" readonly="true"/>
The problem is that when this happens, the variable (or bean? I'm not quite sure about Spring yet..) loadDate (a string) ends up being the same date twice, seperated with a comma. I'm guessing the problem here is the "path="loadDate"" that is common to both lines.
Instead of appending the date to the already existing one like a csv, I'd like it to overwrite the current entry intead. Is there a way to do this?
Spring is not the direct cause of your problem. When the elements of an HTML form are submitted, each element will appear in the request as a name=value pair. If two or more elements in the form have the same name (not id, name attribute) then those elements appear in the request as name=value,value (with one value per element with a duplicated name).
Option 1: stop using an input as a display element. Just display the date in a span (or div or paragraph or what ever). If you want the look of an input box (border, etc.) use CSS to create a class that has the look you want and attach the class to the span (or div or paragraph, etc) in which you display the date.
Option2: continue using an input as a display element. Disabled input elements are not added to the request when the form is submitted. in the form:imput set disabled="true".
Forms![HiddenUserCheck]![txtStatus]
It appears that there is a form called HiddenUserCheck and there is a textfield called txtStatus
But what do the ! mean between the words?
The actual code is
If Forms![HiddenUserCheck]![txtStatus] = "Sign In" Then
When I debug it and mouse over the words, it says Null
! is used to reference one member of a collection ... CollectionName!MemberName
Forms is the name of a collection whose members are Form objects, and includes those forms which are currently open in your Access session.
A Form has a collection of Control objects. So appending !ControlName to the form reference gets you a reference to that control.
So Forms![HiddenUserCheck]![txtStatus] refers to a control named txtStatus in a form named HiddenUserCheck which is open in your Access session.
What you get from that reference is the control's default property, Value ... the value contained in that control.
One of the hardest things "n00bs" have with Access is trying to determine when to use the bang (!) and when to use the dot (.). Take a look at this blog for some tips. One solid guide is this: If the object exists, use a dot. If the object is user-created, use the bang.
So:
Forms![HiddenUserCheck]![txtStatus]
and:
Forms![HiddenUserCheck]![txtStatus].Text
Note: "Text" exists in Access, and so is preceded by a dot. HiddenUserCheck and txtStatus are user-created words, and so are preceded by a bang.
Forms refers to the collection of all forms, HiddenUserCheck is a form in the group of all forms, and txtStatus is a field on HiddenUserCheck form. The !s are a way of seperating that info out. Forms!HiddenUserCheck!txtStatus equates to "The txtStatus field in the form HiddenUserCheck in the collection of all forms. !
If for some reason it were mandatory to associate a <button> with more than one value, is there a good way to do it? For example ...
CSV:
<button value="Lancelot,Grail,blue">Answer</button>
JSON:
<button value="{'name':'Lancelot','quest':'Grail','color':'blue'}">Answer</button>
In the absence of a good way to do it, is there a traditional way?
Edit: another use case
Server M, the producer of the HTML, knows the user's current location and favorite genres, movie names, nearest theater, and next showtime. Server F knows how to query various 3rd party servers about how to get from point A to point B in order to arrive by time T. The user knows only the movie names: click Drag Me to Hell, and get the route. Server M could generate a form for each movie, with a single button showing the name of the movie and multiple hidden fields with the start and end locations and desired arrive-by time, but that would require a lot of repeated code. Every one of these one-button mini-forms would have the same method and action and the same hidden input field structure. Styling would be a collection of mini-forms rather than a collection of buttons, so FIELDSET and LEGEND are unavailable (because HTML forbids nested forms). Putting the parameters into the button's value attribute would be much tidier.
Well if you have to have a button element, why not use JavaScript to set a bogus property:
$('mybutton').compoundValue = { ... json ... };
and then reading the 'compoundValue's during form submit, etc.
Though really you might want to consider a group of checkboxes or some other form bits for what you're trying to accomplish.
