[Simple-support] Question regarding implementing my own strategy/converter

[Jang-Soo L. <jan...@gm...>]

Hello all,
I just wanted to start by saying that using this framework has been really
helpful so far.

I'm trying to do something that might be somewhat non-standard. Here's the
general idea:
I want to deserialize XML into objects which all might have a certain
subtype (not sub in terms of inheritance, but just as a separate class) as
a field. An instance of that subtype would have information which would
tell me where to get information from.

The XML might look like many things, but they'd all potentially have one or
more instances of a SubType within the hierarchy (some examples below). I'd
have classes defined for each of these items, but I would like to shy away
from writing multiple converters (Doesn't seem to have a good way to do
this with one, but I might be mistaken), and my attempts at writing a
custom Strategy are falling a bit flat.

Part of it seems to be that when I write my own strategy and plug it into
the Persister's constructor, the strategy's write code seems to be working
as expected (can examine the object, look through the object via reflection
for fields of type SubType and write XML I want to do), but the read code
does not seem to work (Even though I've implemented Value and instantiate
the innerValue via reflection and set the innerValue's properties, and then
set the original Value's innerValue, it does not seem to stick). The read
code is being run, I am sure of that [I see debug statements being hit],
but it seems that whether I return null or an instantiated Value
implementation from read, the Persister is choosing a different strategy
[or does something else] to override the results of the custom strategy. Is
there a good way to choose to override a default strategy?

Alternatively, is there a better way to do this than writing multiple
converters [without resorting to writing a converter for Object] and/or
working with the strategy? I've also looked at Visitor, but I don't think
that's what I want because I want to work with the object that's getting
deserialized.

Thanks in advance!

<SomeObject>
<SomeField class="SubType">
<URL>http://site/something.html</URL>
</SomeField>
</SomeObject>

or it might look like
<SomeObject>
<SomeField class="SubType">
<URL>http://site/something.html</URL>
</SomeField>
<SomeField class="SubType">
<URL>http://site/something.html</URL>
</SomeField>
<SomeField class="SubType">
<URL>http://site/something.html</URL>
</SomeField>
</SomeObject>

or it might look like
<SomeItem>
<SomeObject>
<SomeField class="SubType">
<URL>http://site/something.html</URL>
</SomeField>
<SomeField class="SubType">
<URL>http://site/something.html</URL>

[Simple-support] Performance on Android

[bubbleguuum <bub...@fr...>]

Hi,

I'm writing an Android app where XML parsing performance is important. 
The quicker, the better.
Are there some things that can be disabled in parsing processing  to 
make it faster ?
Or some constructs that should be avoided ?
I'm looking for any advice that can improve performance.
I noticed that simple generate a lot of objects while parsing which in 
turn generate heavy garbage collection.

Thanks!

[Simple-support] Replacing an object at write-time

[Shevek <sh...@an...>]

Hi,

I have a CustomArrayList which I would like to annotate in such a way
that it gets replaced with a vanilla ArrayList in the serialized data. 

While the documentation refers to writeReplace() and shows an example of
readResolve(), I cannot see an example of an equivalent of writeReplace,
nor can I see how to do it without (e.g.) writing a Visitor or Converter
or something to do heavy duty XML hackery on the OutputNode.

Is there a simple answer, please?

Thank you.

[Simple-support] Unable to properly serialize a list containing nulls

[Shevek <sh...@an...>]

Hi,

public class PersisterFactoryTest {

    @Root
    public static class Foo {
        private List<String> body;
        public Foo(@ElementList(name = "body") List<String> body) {
            this.body = body;
        }
        @ElementList(name = "body")
        public List<String> getBody() {
            return body;
        }
    }

    @Test
    public void testNewDeserializer() throws Exception {
        List<String> body = new ArrayList<String>();
        body.add(null);
        body.add("index 1");
        body.add(null);
        body.add("index 3");
        body.add(null);
        Persister persister = new Persister();
        persister.write(new Foo(body), System.out);
    }
}

I get:

<foo>
   <body class="java.util.ArrayList">
      <string>index 1</string>
      <string>index 3</string>
   </body>
</foo>

Which deserializes to a different list without the nulls in it.

I like my nulls, they keep me warm on a cold winter's night, and make
sure that my array indices are still correct after deserialization. What
can I do to make them come back, please?

Funnily enough, arrays seem to work OK. Just not lists.

Subject: [Simple-support] ElementMap without entry wrapper?
 

Hi folks, I am evaluating Simple for use as the configuration framework for an application I am writing. I am currently using XStream but I prefer Simple's explicit mapping vs. XStream's implicit mapping. I am trying to figure out how to emit a Map that does not include the redundant <entry> and key information.

Here is my test program:

==
package org.openpnp.app;

import java.io.StringWriter;
import java.util.HashMap;

import org.simpleframework.xml.Attribute;
import org.simpleframework.xml.ElementMap;
import org.simpleframework.xml.Root;
import org.simpleframework.xml.Serializer;
import org.simpleframework.xml.core.Persister;

public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Serializer serializer = new Persister();
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
serializer.write(new Machine(), writer);
System.out.println(writer.toString());
}
@Root
public static class Machine {
@ElementMap(attribute=true, key="id")
private HashMap<String, Head> heads = new HashMap<String, Head>();
public Machine() {
heads.put("1", new Head("1"));
heads.put("2", new Head("2"));
}
}
public static class Head {
@Attribute
private String id;
public Head(String id) {
this.id = id;
}
}
}
==

And the output:

==
<machine>
   <heads>
      <entry id="2">
         <head id="2"/>
      </entry>
      <entry id="1">
         <head id="1"/>
      </entry>
   </heads>
</machine>
==

And what I would prefer the output to look like:

==
<machine>
   <heads>
       <head id="2"/>
       <head id="1"/>
   </heads>
</machine>
==

I expect this to be possible because I am telling Simple that the key field is id. If it knows that, the entry element and it's id= attribute is redundant information. I am able to do this quite easily with XStream but I have not found a way to do it with Simple. Is it possible without writing my own Map converter?

Thanks,
Jason

Re: [Simple-support] Parsing dynamic elements into a map

You would need to write a Converter for this, there is no what to do this via the @ElementMap annotation. Try the @Convert annotation.

Subject: [Simple-support] Parsing dynamic elements into a map
 

We have some XML being returned as key-value pairs such that the element name is the key (and the inner text is the value).  The keys (elements) are completely configurable, so the element (user, userName, address1, some_configurable_field) can be any text that a user defines.

<patron>
<user>31</user>
<userName>IPA</userName>
<address1> 1234 Lake Drive </address>
<some_configurable_field> Configurable data </some_configurable_field>
</patron>


Is there a way to parse these values into a Map, such that:

HashMap map = new HashMap();
key => value
 "user" => 31
"userName" => IPA
"address1" => 1234 Lake Drive
"some_configurable_field" => Configurable data

for any dynamic element => value pair?

Thanks any for any insight.
Mike

Re: [Simple-support] positions of elements

[Dawid W. <daw...@gm...>]

There is no such thing as "declaration order" -- java reflection may
(and does, depending on the jvm) return the fields/ methods in any
order it likes to return it.

http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html#getDeclaredMethods()
"The elements in the array returned are not sorted and are not in any
particular order."

Hi,

By default the serialization of fields is done in declaration order, so the simplest way would be to just declare C before B. If you need more control see the Order -annotation in the documentation and tutorials.

Hey Niall,

Sorry to bother you but have you any ideas on a solution for this? I'm
just asking because I'm nearing a deadline and will soon have to start
thinking about some hacks otherwise: probably loading the XML with a
traditional DOM parser to stomp the element names to all be <ERROR>,
write it out, then read it back in with Simple.

I get two xmlns in my XML Namespace..Although it is understood that using two Namespace will generate two xmlns but how can
I generate the xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation in my xml..

I succeeded by using attribute Annotation inside my class but that is not what I want..It always better to specify things related to schema
before the beginning of the class..Also attribute is not made for that purpose..

Is it possible to do in simpleFramework.

Thanks..

[Simple-support] Simple can't create an Element Map when attribute is named "class"

[William D. <wd...@pr...>]

Seems that there's a limitation in Simple that prevents  the create of an ElementMap when the attribute for the key is named "class". This is not just an example, but resulted from an attempt to map real world data.


This doesn't work.... (Stack Trace at end of mail)
<Foo1>
    <Bar class="A">1</Bar>
    <Bar class="B">2</Bar>
    <Bar class="C">3</Bar>
    <Bar class="D">4</Bar>
    <Bar class="E">5</Bar>
    <Bar class="F">6</Bar>
</Foo1>


@Root
public class Foo1 {

                @ElementMap(entry="Bar", key="class", attribute=true, inline=true)
                private Map<Character,Short> bars = new HashMap<Character,Short>();

}

This does....
<Foo2>
    <Bar baz="A">1</Bar>
    <Bar baz="B">2</Bar>
    <Bar baz="C">3</Bar>
    <Bar baz="D">4</Bar>
    <Bar baz="E">5</Bar>
    <Bar baz="F">6</Bar>
</Foo2>


@Root
public class Foo2 {

                @ElementMap(entry="Bar", key="baz", attribute=true, inline=true)
                private Map<Character,Short> bars = new HashMap<Character,Short>();

}

Comments or assistance?

TIA,
wyldbill

Re: [Simple-support] Inline list of simple elements with different names

[Jarrod S. <ja...@co...>]

So in a nutshell I need something that does the equivalent of:

@ElementList(entry = "*", type = GenericAPIError.class)

i.e. A wildcard for the entry parameter, and have it not care about
the element name.

Re: [Simple-support] Inline list of simple elements with different names

[Jarrod S. <ja...@co...>]

Thanks Niall,

The XML response is of this form:

<FAIL>

      <A>Error relating to A</A>
      <B>Error relating to B</B>
      <C>Error relating to C</C>
       ...
      <ERROR>General Error Message 1</ERROR>
      <ERROR>General Error Message 2</ERROR>
      <ERROR>General Error Message 3</ERROR>
      ...
</FAIL>

But I don't know what the A, B, C elements are actually named, only
that they just contain text, and won't be nested.

I'm currently using an ElementListUnion which gets me halfway there,
but that still requires that I know what all the element names are
(which I can only find out by trial and error, which will take
forever). So I need a way to just parse the simple document format
above, and just chuck all the element values into a list, array,
whatever.

Below is basically what I'm using at the moment, you can see the
different types of error element names I've managed to discover so
far.

@Root(strict=false)
public class MyServerResponseErrorParser
{

	@ElementListUnion({
		@ElementList(entry = "ERROR", inline = true, required = false, type
= GenericAPIError.class),
		@ElementList(entry = "CONTACT", inline = true, required = false,
type = GenericAPIError.class),
		@ElementList(entry = "SIGNUP", inline = true, required = false, type
= GenericAPIError.class),
		@ElementList(entry = "PLAN", inline = true, required = false, type =
GenericAPIError.class),
		@ElementList(entry = "PAYMENT", inline = true, required = false,
type = GenericAPIError.class),
		@ElementList(entry = "PLAN_ID", inline = true, required = false,
type = GenericAPIError.class)})
	public List<GenericAPIError> errors;

}

@Root
public class GenericAPIError
{
	@Text
	public String error;
}


Thanks a lot,
Jarrod.

If you provide a code example with some xml ill see what the solution should  be

Look at elementlistunion

Re: [Simple-support] Inline list of simple elements with different names

[Jarrod S. <ja...@co...>]

I just found this thread:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=26681126

Cameron's was the exact same problem I am having. So it seems there is
no way around this, without a setName() on the InputNode. Niall I
don't understand your final suggestion in that thread to "use the
Style interface" since that only applies to serialisation to XML, and
not deserialising *from* XML, which is when Cameron and I are needing
to modify the element names. Or am I missing something?

To be clear, what I want to do is rename the <A>, <B>, <C> ... etc.
elements below to all be <ERROR> nodes.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
