I'm trying to implement specification in one of my use cases.
As u can see in the function dateValueBetween, I'm trying to get from the root the transient property valueDate. But when calling this service with real data it give the error downside.
My original problem was how to call the builder.between method but the value I have is a String value and need to be parsed.
but it seems that the first argument need to be a property of the table and not a function.
How can I achieve my goal?

I want to pass the output of a custom resource, which is an array of objects, as parameter to a sub-stack. An example of what I want to pass as parameter to the child stack is :
[
{"Role":"Role1","IdentifierType":"Prefix","Identifiers":"Bucket1"}
{"Role":"Role2","IdentifierType":"Prefix","Identifiers":"Bucket2"}
]
How do I pass this to the sub-stack? I tried declaring the parameter in the child stack as String, and later as CommaDelimitedList. Both the times, the stack gave an error: "Value of property Parameters must be an object with String (or simple type) properties"
As I know until now, there is not way to pass complex objects as a result of of stack execution. Like the message say, the outputs need to be string or single types (integer and boolean in case of cloudformation).
Without more information is hard to help you with alternatives, but let's assume that your Custom Resource is based on lambda. And let's assume that you have control about the code of your Custom Resource. If this is the case you can:
Send the resource identification of your custom resource as a parameter for your nested stack;
Inside nested stack, invoke the lambda function again with the resourceId as a parameter;
Change the lambda code to check for a new parameter for the resourceId (inside the ResourceParameters, not inside the Common Resource Id sent by CloudFormation).
If the parameter is not empty (or not a defined value passed on the first invocation) respond with the old values (you must have a way to keep this values in some place or check then in runtime.);
Change the lambda code to do not take action in the update/deletion is case of invocation by the nested stack (with the resourceId parameter).
Again, is hard to think in alternatives without more info about your specific problem. But use this response as a food for thought.
I wondering how to get object property value given name of property in string in Scala? I saw examples when you get all fields of object using Reflection and iterate over it. But is it possible to call it without iteration? Or may be there is a way to pass object.field to another function without evaluation and evaluate it there and return result?
Kolmar comment give me right direction to call by name function.
The documentation says this is allowed:
ClassMethod GetContacts() As %ListOfObjects(ELEMENTTYPE="ContactDB.Contact")
[WebMethod]
I want to do this:
Property Permissions As %ListOfObjects(ELEMENTTYPE="MyPackage.MyClass");
I get an error:
ERROR #5480: Property parameter not declared:
MyPackage.Myclass:ELEMENTTYPE
So, do I really have to create a new class and set the ELEMENTTYPE parameter in it for each list I need?
Correct syntax for %ListOfObjects in properties is this one
Property Permissions As list of MyPackage.MyClass;
Yes, a property does sometimes work differently than a method when it comes to types. That is an issue here, in that you can set a class parameter of the return value of a method declaration in a straightforward way, but that doesn't always work for class parameters on the class of a property.
I don't think the way it does work is documented completely, but here are some of my observations:
You can put in class parameters on a property if the type of the property is a data-type (which are often treated differently than objects).
If you look at the %XML.Adaptor class it has the keyword assignment statement
PropertyClass = %XML.PropertyParameters
This appears to add its parameters to all the properties of the class that declares it as its PropertyClass. This appears to be an example of Intersystems wanting to implement something (an XML adaptor) and realizing the implementation of objects didn't provide it cleanly, so they hacked something new into the class compiler. I can't really find much documentation so it isn't clear if its considered a usable API or an implementation detail subject to breakage.
You might be able to hack something this way - I've never tried anything similar.
A possibly simpler work around might be to initialize the Permissions property in %OnNew and %OnOpen. You will probably want a zero element array at that point anyway, rather than a null.
If you look at the implementation of %ListOfObjects you can see that the class parameter which you are trying to set simply provides a default value for the ElementType property. So after you create an instance of %ListOfObjects you could just set it's ElementType property to the proper element type.
This is a bit annoying, because you have to remember to do it every time by hand, and you might forget. Or a maintainer down the road might not now to do it.
You might hope to maybe make it a little less annoying by creating a generator method that initializes all your properties that need it. This would be easy if Intersystems had some decent system of annotating properties with arbitrary values (so you could know what ElementType to use for each property). But they don't, so you would have to do something like roll your own annotations using an XData block or a class method. This probably isn't worth it unless you have more use cases for annotations than just this one, so I would just do it by hand until that happens, if it ever does.
I have use the type dynamic, a new type in .NET 4.0.
I want to use a dynamic type because I want to use some types that in advance I don't know what type is, but I know that all this possible type has some common methods.
In my case, I am using self tracking entities in entity framework 4.0, and I know that all the entities has the methods markedXXX (to set the state of the entity).
Through the dynamic object that I created, I can access and set the properties of one of this entities, but when I try to execute the MarkedAsXXX method I get an exception that says that the object has not definied the method.
I would like to know how to access to this methods. Is it possible?
Because I have a function that can access to the original values and set this values to the current one, but I need to set the entity as Unchenged.
Thanks.
I want to use a dynamic type because I want to use some types that in advance I don't know what type is, but I know that all this possible type has some common methods.
That suggests you should create an interface with those common methods, and make all the relevant types implement the interface.
Through the dynamic object that I created, I can access and set the properties of one of this entities, but when I try to execute the MarkedAsXXX method I get an exception that says that the object has not defined the method.
It's possible that this is due to explicit interface implementation. If the types have those methods declared as public methods in the normal way, it should be fine.
If you really want to use dynamic typing with these types, is there some base interface which declares the MarkedAsXXX methods, which you could cast the objects to before calling those methods? (I'm not familiar with the entity framework, so I don't know the details of those methods.)
Basically, I would try to avoid dynamic typing unless you really need it, partly because of edge cases like this - but if explicit interface implementation is the cause, then casting to that interface should be fine.
If you define an interface to the dynamically generated classes you can call the methods without the hassle of reflection calling.
I am using mongodb with java and also morphia.
For my usecase i get collection name at run time. So i have a enum of collection names and based on some value i get the corresponding collection name from enum. My entity annotation is as follows
#entity(EnumName.getCollectionName())
But i get the following error
"The value for annotation attribute Entity.value must be a constant expression"
I am actually returning a constant expression only. Could anyone let me know what the issue is.
You can't use some something dynamic within annotations as those are "compile" time features which can't be changed afterwards. So you can only handle constants which you declared there, Enums and Classes. For this a smart compiler may be able to find out that you handle something which may never change, but most wont and will simply error as soon as they see that you're trying asign some function value to an annotation property.
I don't really understand what you're trying to do, but it somehow looks like you try to use one "generic" entity class for several concrete entities. I think this is really bad design.
If you can tell more details, we may be able to give you a proper solution for your problem.
If you simply don't know what Class you have to operate with at runtime, try this.
Declare your concrete entities and fill your enum with those Classes. At Runtime you can do Datastore.find(Enum.YOURCLASS) and morphia will query your appropriate class.
