simple-support — General user and support issues

Re: [Simple-support] Transform annotations, simple class names, JSON output, and more

[Robbie B. <Rob...@sa...>]

You can use Gson with SimpleXML.  It doesn’t care about the SimpleXML annotations:


import org.simpleframework.xml.Attribute;

import org.simpleframework.xml.Root;


import com.google.gson.Gson;



public class SimpleXMLtoJSONtest {


@Root

public static class A {


@Attribute

private int x;


public A() {

}


public A(int x) {

this.x = x;

}


}


public static void main(String... args) {

A a = new A(5);

Gson gson = new Gson();

System.out.println(gson.toJson(a));


}


}

Subject: Re: [Simple-support] Transform annotations, simple class names, JSON output, and more

Hi,

I am now able to answer some of my own questions:

1) Can I strip the value element on an ElementMap?

I couldn't find a way to do this, but I modified OutputElement.getChild to add this:

       if(name.equals("<SKIP>"))
           return this;

I realise this is a bit of a hack, but it does what I need. A proper way of doing this would be appreciated.

2) Can Simple generate short names in class attributes?

I have done this by subclassing TreeStrategy.

3) Can I specify Transformers using an annotation?

At the moment the answer is no. Potentially this could be done, in a similar way to how Converter is done at the moment. But this isn't particularly important to me.

4) Can Simple generate JSON output?

No progress on this just yet.

Is anyone out there? Just a quick mail letting me know the list is alive would be appreciated :-)

[Simple-support] Transform annotations, simple class names, JSON output, and more

[Paul J. <pa...@pa...>]

Hi,

I've just started using Simple and it looks like it's exactly what I need.
I have been using XStream extensively, and investigated JAX-B but Simple
seems to meet my needs better.

However, I have a few questions!

1) Can I strip the value element on an ElementMap?

If I have a field like this:
    @ElementMap(inline=true, attribute=true, entry="sink", key="type")
    Map<String,VarInfo> sinks = new HashMap<String,VarInfo>();

It produces XML like this:
   <sink type="xss">
      <varInfo>
         <varInfoItem>
            <source class="uk.co.pentest.srcscan.analyse.RouteEnd$Field"
field="test::field"/>
         </varInfoItem>
      </varInfo>
   </field>

I would like to remove the <varInfo> tag - so it's children go directly
inside the <sink> tag.

2) Can Simple generate short names in class attributes?

If we look at the source tag above, it includes the full class name for the
class. I would like it to be the simple class name: Field. Is this
possible? I don't need to read this XML; only generate it.

I am aware of ElementUnion however, this does not suit my needs. The
problem is that I have multiple polymorphic fields in the class (source and
destination) and there are a fair number of polymorphic types. To make this
work with ElementUnion I'd need many many lines of annotations, which would
kill the benefit of Simple.

3) Can I specify Transformers using an annotation?

I am using RegistryMatcher and my transformer is working correctly. But I
have to have a bit of the code where I specify all the transformers. Is it
possible to use an annotation instead?

What I have:
        matcher.bind(MethodDescriptor.class,
MethodDescriptor.XmlTransform.class);

What I'd like:
    @Transformer(XmlTransform.class)
    class MethodDescriptor {
        ...

4) Can Simple generate JSON output?

I can live with using a beta quality plugin. And I only need to generate
JSON, never read it. If there's no existing plugin for this, I will look at
writing one, and any pointers would be appreciated.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! All the best,

Paul

[Simple-support] Using DefaultType=PROPERTY by default

[Roman P. <rom...@gm...>]

Hello.

By default, simplexml uses fields to map object data to/from XML. This
can be overriden by using @Default(DefaultType.PROPERTY) on each
class.
In our project, we need to use the property-centric approach, and it's
a bit uncomfortable to annotate every single model class, as this is
error-prone: someone can forget to annotate some class, a
field-centric strategy will be used, so some getter/setter logic will
not be called leading to tricky errors.
simplexml actually contains a 'meta-default': in
org.simpleframework.xml.core.Support class, DefaultType.FIELD is
hard-coded as a default for cases when no @Default annotation is
specified (an 'override'). Support class is instantiated by Persister,
so it seems to be pretty straight-forward to add a parameter (or other
way to configure it) defining such a default to the Persister, which
would in turn pass this setting via constructor to Support.
My question is - is this plausible? Doesn't it break some big architecture rule?
I can craft a patch implementing this approach.

Best regards,
   Roman Puchkovskiy

Re: [Simple-support] XML readers share the same entity expansion counter

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

Simply executing the existing test suite using an affected JDK 
demonstrates the issue: The last 300 or so tests of the existing suite 
will just fail, as the full test suite does more than 64K entity 
expansions. A new test is not required.

I note that while my own dev system is currently using the affected 
1.7.0_51 b08, the bug is fixed in b10, so this might go away with 
waiting for the Linux distributions to update.

The JDK ticket says it also affects StAX.

Our production sites only hit this after a few days' uptime, so it's a 
good thing I found the bug by executing the simple-xml test suite on an 
affected JDK before our devs lost a load of time trying to reproduce!

Re: [Simple-support] Dynamically turn off strict mode

Hi,

I am afraid there is no way to do this. The only thing I could suggest is to use a converter for the parts you want to parse in non-strict way.

Re: [Simple-support] Array deserialization issue, with test and patch

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

The patch isn't to fix the JDK bug. It's to fix the bug exhibited by the 
provided test case, which is to do with Converter getting called for 
array types, not just element types, but apparently only when 
CycleStrategy is used.

The JDK bug is just an aside, as I had to change the test runner.

By the way, an update to 
org.simpleframework.xml.strategy.CycleStrategyTest.testArray also fails 
since I wrote this code and test.

Thank you very much!

How do you know this?

Is it really SimpleXml that processes the classes or is it simply the
Java classloader loading all necessary classes?

Java can't do lazy loading of some annotations; if you access the outer
@ElementUnion annotation, then everything inside is materialized.

If that's a problem for you, you can't use unions.

[Simple-support] Problem with deserialization empty XML element into generic field

[Yaroslav N. <yar...@is...>]

Hi!

I have a data model with classes both generic and immutable like in code 
snippet below:

package ru.ispras.texterra.core;

import java.io.StringReader;
import java.io.StringWriter;

import org.simpleframework.xml.Element;
import org.simpleframework.xml.core.Persister;

public class SimpleSerializerTestCase {
     public static class SomeGeneric<T> {
         @Element(name = "value")
         private final T value;

         public SomeGeneric(@Element(name = "value") T value) {
             this.value = value;
         }
     }

     public static class SomeConcrete extends SomeGeneric<String> {
         public SomeConcrete(@Element(name = "value") String value) {
             super(value);
         }
     }

     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
         Persister persister = new Persister();
         StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
         persister.write(new SomeConcrete(""), writer);
         StringReader reader = new StringReader(writer.toString());

         // Exception in thread "main" 
org.simpleframework.xml.core.ValueRequiredException: Empty
         // value for @org.simpleframework.xml.Element(name=value, 
data=false, required=true,
         // type=void) on field 'value' private final java.lang.Object
         // 
ru.ispras.texterra.core.SimpleSerializerTestCase$SomeGeneric.value in class
         // 
ru.ispras.texterra.core.SimpleSerializerTestCase$SomeConcrete at line 2
         SomeConcrete read = persister.read(SomeConcrete.class, reader);
     }
}

org.simpleframework.xml.stream.NodeReader.readValue(InputNode) returns 
null in this case instead of empty string and this leads to 
deserialization fail. Could you suggest any workarounds?

[Simple-support] Deserializing inherited objects from XML

[Tek W. <tek...@gm...>]

Never mind.   The first cup of coffee did not kick in yet.
The problem was with my de-serializing code, where I was casting a parent
to a child.

Good job Niall.

Once again simplexml saved me globs of time!

[Simple-support] Deserializing inherited objects from XML

[Tek W. <tek...@gm...>]

I need this work with this type of XML

 <component class="com.abc.Container" type="Container" >
 <component class="com.abc.Label" type="Label" name="Label201"/>
 <component class="com.abc.Button" type="Button" name="Button202"/>

My class structure is:

@Root(name = "component")
public class com.abc.BaseComponent {
    @ElementList(inline = true,required=false)
    ArrayList<BaseComponent> childComponents = null;

}

and
@Root(name = "component")
public class Button extends BaseComponent {

    Button() {
        super();
    }
}

@Root(name = "component")
public class Label extends BaseComponent {

    Label() {
        super();
    }
}

@Root(name = "component")
public class Container extends BaseComponent {

    Container () {
        super();
    }
}
So the logic is that the Container can add any other object as long as it
is of BaseComponent type.


On serialization, I do get the desired XML, however I can not deserialize
it back from XML to Objects.
I tried to use @ElementListUnion with listing of each BaseComponent type in
it, that changes the XML structure.  Its almost like the format that I need
to support is using attributes and simplexml like to use elements.

Re: [Simple-support] JSON support

[Robbie B. <Rob...@sa...>]

For JSON, I’d look at gson:  http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/

It’s like SimpleXML but for JSON.

Subject: [Simple-support] JSON support

I love the product! Keep up the good work Niall!

I'm working in an new environment where I do not have reflection.  So I will have to go to JSON to parse my object in.   I have considerable amount of code written to serialize/deserialze to XML with simpleXML.

Is there a way for simpleXML to serialize/produce JSON output?  I do not need it to deserialize, just to serialize?  This way I will be half way there without changing my design time code.

Re: [Simple-support] Element 'name' is also a path name in class ...

[Niall G. - Y. <Nia...@yi...>]

That does not sound right, order of declaration should make no difference, if it does not work then there must be a bug..

Thank you for quick replay, that worked...

Also i like to point out that

@Path("name")
@Text
String name

has to be before

@Path("name")
@Attribute
String id;

other way it doesn't work.

Thank you

[Simple-support] Fwd: Is this project still alive?

Perhaps it ain't meant to be for him.

I have been using first CVS then SVN, now Git and Mercurial (and sf.net
supports all these) and I must say that the source code versioning is
the least of my worries when developing my side projects.

Niall, you are doing a great job. Great library. Thanx.

Ok, now, that’s getting a little rude: “But if somebody can’t know it….”.   Looking at this project, I’m pretty sure he can.  I like Git.  I use Git for all my repositories, but I also appreciate this incredible library that Niall Gallagher has written.  SimpleXML has saved me an unbelievable amount of work.  I don’t care if he distributes it in a ZIP file.  Just keep it open and available.  Thanks, Niall.

Many project live only from contribution, like https://github.com/jayway/maven-android-plugin. And I think that it is not top 10 project. Or our small project https://github.com/inmite/android-styled-dialogs have 5 merged pull requests already.

And GIT/Hq is also many times better than SVN.

github may have this nice feature but it offers almost nothing else and
you are also tied to git.

and who does a fork and contributes back to the project? i would say
that if your project is not one of the top ten projects than it wouldn't
get even one fork/contribution in a year.

sf.net<http://sf.net> may not provide your favored development workflow but it is one
of the top sites for open source projects and has many options for all
types of projects and development styles.
