Primefaces callback with JSON as callback parameter - json

I am trying to pass Json as callback parameter. Can anyone correct the javascript to get the values from the json object?
javascript
function renderTopic(xhr,status,args){
alert("iam In renderTopic");
var topicObject = $.parseJSON(args.topicJSON);
for(var x in topicObject){
alert(x.topicBody);
};
}
Server side
jGenerator.writeFieldName("topicBody");
jGenerator.writeStartArray();
...............
jGenerator.close();
context = RequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
System.out.println("JSON output in string "+out.toString())
xhtml
<p:commandLink action="#{topicController.listAllTopics}"
id="topicListAllCmdLink" value="" oncomplete="javascript:renderTopic(xhr, status,args)"/>
http response
<partial-response><changes><update id="javax.faces.ViewState"><![CDATA[4091946826703479326:-2361306414195161728]]></update><extension ln="primefaces" type="args">{"topicJSON":"{\"topicBody\":[\"Test10\",\"Test22\",\"Test4\",\"Test11\"]}"}</extension></changes></partial-response>

Every thing seems to be ok. Do you see any error? or any output that you can tell us about.

Angular2 HTTP Providers, get a string from JSON for Amcharts

This is a slightly messy questions. Although it appears I'm asking question about amCharts, I really just trying to figure how to extract an array from HTTP request and then turn it into a variable and place it in to 3-party javacript.
It all starts here, with this question, which was kindly answered by AmCharts support.
As one can see from the plnker. The chart is working. Data for the chart is hard coded:
`var chartData = [{date: new Date(2015,2,31,0,0,0, 0),value:372.10,volume:2506100},{date: new Date(2015,3,1,0, 0, 0, 0),value:370.26,volume:2458100},{date: new Date(2015,3,2,0, 0, 0, 0),value:372.25,volume:1875300},{date: new Date(2015,3,6,0, 0, 0, 0),value:377.04,volume:3050700}];`
So we know the amCharts part works. Know where the problem is changing hard coded data to a json request so it can be dynamic. I don't think this should be tremendously difficult, but for the life of me I can't seem figure it out.
The first issue is I can't find any documentation on .map, .subscribe, or .observable.
So here is a plunker that looks very similar to the first one, however it has an http providers and injectable. It's broken, because I can't figure out how to pull the data from the service an place it into the AmCharts function. I know how pull data from a http provider and display it in template using NgFor, but I don't need it in the template (view). As you can see, I'm successful in transferring the data from the service, with the getTitle() function.
this.chart_data =_dataService.getEntries();
console.log('Does this work? '+this.chart_data);
this.title = _dataService.getTitle();
console.log('This works '+this.title);
// Transfer the http request to chartData to it can go into Amcharts
// I think this should be string?
var chartData = this.chart_data;
So the ultimate question is why can't I use a service to get data, turn that data into a variable and place it into a chart. I suspect a few clues might be in options.json as the json might not be formatted correctly? Am I declaring the correct variables? Finally, it might have something to do with observable / map?
You have a few things here. First this is a class, keep it that way. By that I mean to move the functions you have inside your constructor out of it and make them methods of your class.
Second, you have this piece of code
this.chart_data =_dataService.getEntries().subscribe((data) => {
this.chart_data = data;
});
What happens inside subscribe runs asynchronously therefore this.chart_data won't exist out of it. What you're doing here is assigning the object itself, in this case what subscribe returns, not the http response. So you can simply put your library initialization inside of the subscribe and that'll work.
_dataService.getEntries().subscribe((data) => {
if (AmCharts.isReady) {
this.createStockChart(data);
} else {
AmCharts.ready(() => this.createStockChart(data));
}
});
Now, finally you have an interesting thing. In your JSON you have your date properties contain a string with new Date inside, that's nothing but a string and your library requires (for what I tested) a Date object, so you need to parse it. The problem here is that you can't parse nor stringify by default a Date object. We need to convert that string to a Date object.
Look at this snippet code, I used eval (PLEASE DON'T DO IT YOURSELF, IS JUST FOR SHOWING PURPOSES!)
let chartData = [];
for(let i = 0; i < data[0].chart_data.length; i++) {
chartData.push({
// FOR SHOWING PURPOSES ONLY, DON'T TRY IT AT HOME
// This will parse the string to an actual Date object
date : eval(data[0].chart_data[i].date);
value : data[0].chart_data[i].value;
volume : data[0].chart_data[i].volume;
});
}
Here what I'm doing is reconstructing the array so the values are as required.
For the latter case you'll have to construct your json using (new Date('YOUR DATE')).toJSON() and you can parse it to a Date object using new Date(yourJSON) (referece Date.prototype.toJSON() - MDN). This is something you should resolve in your server side. Assuming you already solved that, your code should look as follows
// The date property in your json file should be stringified using new Date(...).toJSON()
date : new Date(data[0].chart_data[i].date);
Here's a plnkr with the evil eval. Remember, you have to send the date as a JSON from the server to your client and in your client you have to parse it to a Date.
I hope this helps you a little bit.
If the getEntries method of DataService returns an observable, you need to subscribe on it to get data:
_dataService.getEntries().subscribe(
(data) => {
this.chart_data = data;
});
Don't forget that data are received asynchronously from an HTTP call. The http.get method returns an observable (something "similar" to promise) will receive the data in the future. But when the getEntries method returns the data aren't there yet...
The getTitle is a synchronous method so you can call it the way you did.

What functionality of Chrome shows a parse error as a popup?

I have no clue where this is coming from: here is it, in Java I created a servlet that runs Javascript files in Nashorn and then writes the result in a response. My Javascript code returns an object like:
function root(){
return {
"hello": 1
};
}
while my servlet returns the object (it was just a test):
Object result = invocable.invokeFunction("root", req);
OutputStreamWriter outputStreamWriter = new OutputStreamWriter(resp.getOutputStream());
outputStreamWriter.write(result.toString());
outputStreamWriter.close();
the response raw body is:
[object Object]
and chrome will do the following:
That red popup cross even closes it on click.
Is this done by an extension that I forgot about? Or is it some kind of integration with that syntax? I've really no idea.
#gotch4
Result you're observing is expected. You're retuning string representation of JavaScript object (technically you're calling Object.protorype.toString which returns [object Object]).
I think what you really want is to invoke JSON.stringify before returning response to the browser.
Object JSON = e.eval("JSON");
Object result = invocable.invokeMethod(JSON, "stringify", invocable.invokeFunction("root", req));
OutputStreamWriter outputStreamWriter = new OutputStreamWriter(resp.getOutputStream());
outputStreamWriter.write(result.toString());
outputStreamWriter.close();
p.s. Code should work, but I didn't test it - writing from phone.

Am I using the wrong standard for JSON response?

I am new to Angular and I am trying to build a simple todo application using it. I have designed a module called TodoServices in which I am creating a User service using the factory method. The code looks something like:
angular.module('TodoServices', ["ngResource"])
.factory('User', function($resource){
return $resource('http://todoapi.rohanchhabra.in/users/:id');
});
The code in my app.js looks like:
var angularApp = angular.module('angularApp', ['TodoServices']);
angularApp.controller('UsersController', function(User){
this.users = {};
this.users = User.query();
});
When I run my application, I get this error: Error link
I think this is because my web service is returning an object which not only has the data but also has a few other things such as a status and messages. Now Is it a wrong way of doing it? Should I just return the array from the back end? What is the actual problem here and how to solve this?
As your error link says:
By default, all resource actions expect objects, except query which expects arrays.
You should use an other function like User.Get() when you're not expecting an array but just a single object.

No MediaTypeFormatter error when trying to parse ReadAsFormDataAsync result in WebAPI

I have created a WebAPI project to help capture statements from a TinCan learning course but I am having extreme difficulty in retrieving any of the Request payload details. Within this payload I pass the whole statement that I am trying to capture but upon trying to read using:
var test = Request.Content.ReadAsFormDataAsync().Result.ToString();
I get the following error message:
No MediaTypeFormatter is available to read an object of type 'FormDataCollection' from content with media type 'application/json'.
I have tried Converting the result object to JSON to overcome this problem but it has not been any use. Do I need to configure json somewhere in the configuration? I have tried adding
var appXmlType = config.Formatters.XmlFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.FirstOrDefault(t => t.MediaType == "application/xml");
config.Formatters.XmlFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.Remove(appXmlType);
and also:
var jsonFormatter = config.Formatters.JsonFormatter;
config.Formatters.Insert(0, jsonFormatter);
to my WebApiConfig.cs file as answered in another question of how to return json but I cannot seem to pass this error. I have also set config.formatter to accept application/json but this also has not worked
CONTROLLER CODE
public void Put([FromBody]string statementId)
{
var test = Request.Content.ReadAsFormDataAsync().Result;
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("Application", "/xAPI/PUT has been called", System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType.Error);
}
From the error message you have provided, it seems like request content is in application/json. ReadAsFormDataAsync() can only read content of type application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
In this case, you can use ReadAsAsync<> if you have the type you want to be deserialized defined or simply use ReadAsStringAsync<> if you just want to read the content as a string.

Get custom JQGrid JSON data in gridComplete method

Here is a typical JQGrid JSON response:
{
"page":1,
"records":537,
"rows":[..],
"rowCount":10,
"total":54
}
Along with this, I want to send additional custom data. For example, I'd like to send the database time of the last search so that I can lazy-reload my grid whenever changes have occurred since then. Here is how I would like to send that data:
{
//Custom name-value pairs:
"nameValues":{"lastSearchTime":"2011/09/01:14:14:56"},
//Normal JSON data:
"page":1,
"records":537,
"rows":[..],
"rowCount":10,
"total":54
}
The problem is that JQGrid swallows up the JSON response rather than forwarding it to the gridComplete method. In other words, params is undefined in the following function:
function myGridComplete (params){
//params is undefined!
var JSONResponse = ?;//I need your help here!!!
globalGridVariables.lastSearchTime = JSONResponse.nameValues.lastSearchTime;
//Rest of grid complete method
..
}
Please let me know if there is a way to get access to the JSON response object in the gridComplete method, or if there is another supported way to add custom data to a JSON response.
Thanks much!
Note: I don't want to send this as a hidden column, because that would be inefficient.
You can use loadComplete instead of gridComplete. The loadComplete event has one parameter (for example data) which represent the full data from the server response inclusive all of your extensions.
Alternative you can rename the nameValues to userdata and use $('#list').jqGrid('getGridParam', 'userData') to get the value. See here for more information.
Moreover you can consider to use more HTTP caching (see here and here) for the aims which you described in your question.
You can use beforeProcessing that has the deserialized response and gets active before gridComplete and loadComplete.
For example:
beforeProcessing: function (data, status, xhr) {
myArray = data.rows;
}
And just to make it more clearer from the documentation:
Below is the execution order of the events when a ajax request is made
beforeRequest
loadBeforeSend
serializeGridData
loadError
beforeProcessing
gridComplete
loadComplete
