I need to use a custom container to implement iterative action execution over a collection of objects in the XML Citrus test.
There's a nice Custom container documentation, however XML DSL is not explained there.
The custom conteiner is like this:
public class CollectionIterationContainer extends AbstractActionContainer /.../
Is it possible to use the Custom container in the XML DSL at all? If yes - how?
This is totally doable. The second part of this article describes how to get custom actions or containers into the XML testcase:

Besides REST-API Calls, I need to call my own Java-Class, which basically does something, which I want to confirm later in the test via REST-API-Calls.
When calling my Java-Class, there is an expected behavior: It may fail or not fail, depending on the actual Test-Case.
Is there any chance to code this expectation this into my test-class:
java("com.org.xyz.App").method("run").methodArgs(args).build();
As this is the Main-Class, which should be executed later in a automated fashion, I would prefer to validate the Return-Code.
However, I'm looking for any possible way (Exception-Assertion, Stdout-Check, ..) to verify the status of the program.
As you are using the Java DSL to write test cases I would suggest to go with custom test action implementation and/or initializing your custom class directly in the test method and call the method as you would do with any other API.
You can wrap the custom code in a custom AbstractTestAction implementation as you then have access to the TestContext and your custom code is integrated into the test action sequence.
The java("com.org.xyz.App").method("run").methodArgs(args) API is just for compliance to the XML DSL where you do not have the opportunity to initialize own Java class instances. Way too complicated for your requirement in my opinion.
Consider this code in java
for(int i=0,j=0;i<list1.size() && j<list2.size();i++,j++){
//do something
}
Can we do the similar thing in sightly? I tried best on my level but I couldn't find a way to do it. Please help on this.
There is no support for this kind of iteration and this is intended (in order to avoid putting your business logic in the HTL/Sightly template). You should instead invoke an Use-Api object which applies this logic and returns a collection of tuples from the two lists.
Adding to the answer posted by Vlad, You could either use
Sling Models
WCMUse class
server side javascript to perform such business logic
I would say it is better to use nodejs for such simple problems as it is more productive, easy to write and lives in the same folder as the sightly/HTL code.
For example, if your component name is 'componentA'
your HTL/sightly code is componentA.html residing inside componentA folder
and your business logic can be componentA.js residing in the same folder.
use(function() {
/*
Business logic
*/
return {
name: valueName,
list: listObject
};
});
Sling Models are very effective when you need to perform business logic using injected properties and resources. For example, a component that has several primitive and derived (from resource) properties.
I'm trying to write a SoapUI TestCase at the moment. I'd like to access the label of the test case in one of my test steps. Is there any way to do this using the property expansion syntax?
Something in the region of
${#TestCase#label}
Thanks
It's possible using the follow syntax:
${=context.testCase.name}
Explanation
${= } this allows to execute some Groovy code inside the request.
Like in the Groovy testSteps you've context available so you can access the testCase and then access the name property which contains the label.
What is the interest of using MarkedObject in itext pdf ?
Show a main use example please. There is only javadoc on the net related to this object.
The MarkedObject class was introduced to allow developers to add attributes to an object when creating XML or HTML. For instance: when you created HTML, you could add an id or class attribute. This use case has disappeared in 2009 when we removed XML and HTML generation from iText.
We thought it could also be used in the context of PDF, more specifically in the context of generating PDF/A. However, we decided to create PDF/A in a difference way, using the IAccessibleElement interface. If you check the API docs, you see that this interface also defines methods to set and get attributes.
In short: you can safely ignore the MarkedObject class: it is no longer used. Writing a "main use example" would be a waste of time.
I need to implement a custom ResultHandler but I am confused about how to actually integrate my custom class into the software package.
I have read this: http://elki.dbs.ifi.lmu.de/wiki/HowTo/InvokingELKIFromJava but my question is how are you meant to implement a custom result handler such that it shows up in the GUI?
The only way I can think of doing it is by extracting the elki.jar package and manually inserting my custom class into the source code, and then re-jarring the package. However I am fairly sure this is not the way it is meant to be done.
Also, in my resulthandler I need to output all the rows to a single text file with the cluster that each row belongs to displayed. How tips on how I can achieve this?
There are two questions in here.
in order to make your class instantiable by the UIs (both MiniGUI and command line), the classes must implement our Parameterization API. There are essentially two choices to make your class instantiable:
Add a public constructor without parameters (the UI won't know how to set your parameters!)
Add an inner static class Parameterizer that handles parameterization
in order to add your class to autocompletion (dropdown menu), the classes must be discovered by the MiniGUI/CLI/other UIs. ELKI uses two methods of discovery:
for .jar files, it reads the META-INF/elki/interfacename service files. This is a classic service-loader approach; except that we also allow ordering instances.
for directories only, ELKI will also scan for all .class files, and inspect them. This is mostly meant for development time, to avoid having to update the service files all the time. For performance reasons, we do not inspect the contents of .jar files; these are expected to use service files.
You do not need your class to be in the dropdown menu - you can always type the full class name. If this does not work, adding the name to the service file will not help either, but ELKI can either not find the class at all, or cannot instantiate it.
There is also a tutorial on implementing a custom result handler, but it does not discuss how to add it to the menu. In "development mode" - when having a folder with .class files - it will show up automatically.
