Custom OrderByComparator day of DateTime - service

I need to order my DynamicQuery by the number of day on a DateTimeColumn (Contact_ table by the way)
the default orderByComparator bring:
1969/04/02
1970/04/01
1970/04/01
1970/04/11
but I need
1970/04/01
1970/04/01
1969/04/02
1970/04/11
I tried overriding OrderByComparator and then using him on my dynamicQuery() method, but doesn't work
Tried to implement OrderByComparatorFactory myself but my compare method isn't called
I thing I can use a custom query, but there's no other way to do it?
by the way, I'am using a search container

DynamicQuery does not use compare method from an OrderByComparator method. DynamicQuery adds only the fields and asc/desc from the OrderByComparator.
See the Liferay code here:
BasePersistentImpl:
public List findWithDynamicQuery(
DynamicQuery dynamicQuery, int start, int end,
OrderByComparator orderByComparator)
throws SystemException {
OrderFactoryUtil.addOrderByComparator(dynamicQuery, orderByComparator);
return findWithDynamicQuery(dynamicQuery, start, end);
}
OrderFactoryUtil:
public static void addOrderByComparator(
DynamicQuery dynamicQuery, OrderByComparator obc) {
if (obc == null) {
return;
}
String[] orderByFields = obc.getOrderByFields();
for (String orderByField : orderByFields) {
if (obc.isAscending(orderByField)) {
dynamicQuery.addOrder(asc(orderByField));
}
else {
dynamicQuery.addOrder(desc(orderByField));
}
}
}
You may sort the result list by your comparator, as I did it in this example:

How can I dynamically make entity properties read-only?

I'm working with EF 4.5 and DbContext. At business rules layer level, I should implement checks to avoid change entity value properties in some entity scenarios. Sample: StartProjecteDate should be readonly if ProjectIsStarted but not in other status.
I follow DRY principle, for this reason, I should be able to inspect readonly properties list from context and also from UI.
My question:
Is there a DataAnnotation validator that can dynamically set properties as readonly?
(and if not, is there a different / better solution to this problem?)
Notice than I'm working with Web Forms (and Telerik) architecture, a clean and elegant pattern will be welcome.
I'm trying to set and get at run time EditableAttribute as Jesse Webb explains, but I'm not able to get dataannotation attributes from property, my code:
<EditableAttribute(False)>
<MaxLength(400, ErrorMessage:="Màxim 400 caracters")>
Public Property NomInvertebrat As String
Edited Nov 8 2013 after digging docs, it seems that dataanottions if for class but for instance object itself. Perhaps an iReadonlyableProperties interface may be a way.
I have a class containing extension methods that lets me read data annotations like this:
int maxRefLen = ReflectionAPI.GetProperty<Organisation, String>(x => x.Name)
.GetAttribute<StringLengthAttribute>()
.GetValueOrDefault(x => x.MaximumLength, 256);
So if you use it you should be able to do get the value of the EditableAttribute like this:
bool isEditable = ReflectionAPI.GetProperty<Foo, String>(x => x.NomInvertebrat)
.GetAttribute<EditableAttribute>()
.GetValueOrDefault(x => x.AllowEdit, true);
As for setting the data annotations at run-time, I haven't done it myself but I have read that there is a solution here: Setting data-annotations at runtime
Getting a list of all data annotations of a particular type I think would entail reading the entity framework metadata. Again I haven't tried this.
If you add that together I personally think it feels clunky rather than elegant, but you have asked for a solution using DataAnnotations and something more elegant would probably mean getting into your architecture.
I would be inclined to do this:
public bool StartDateIsReadOnly
{
//use this property client-side to disable the input
get{ return Project.IsStarted;}
}
//Implement IValidatable object to do server side validation
public IEnumerable<ValidationResult> Validate(ValidationContext validationContext
{
bool startdateIsChanged = // I'll leave you to work out this bit
var results = new List<ValidationResult>();
if(StartDateIsReadOnly && startdateIsChanged)
results.Add(new ValidationResult("Start Date cannot be changed after project is started");
}
Here is the ReflectionAPI class:
Please note that the class includes part of a hack that #JonSkeet posted and described as "evil". I personally think this bit ain't so bad, but you should read the following references:
Override a generic method for value types and reference types.
Evil code - overload resolution workaround
public static class ReflectionAPI
{
public static int GetValueOrDefault<TInput>(this TInput a, Func<TInput, int> func, int defaultValue)
where TInput : Attribute
//Have to restrict to struct or you get the error:
//The type 'R' must be a non-nullable value type in order to use it as parameter 'T' in the generic type or method 'System.Nullable<T>'
{
if (a == null)
return defaultValue;
return func(a);
}
public static Nullable<TResult> GetValueOrDefault<TInput, TResult>(this TInput a, Func<TInput, TResult> func, Nullable<TResult> defaultValue)
where TInput : Attribute
where TResult : struct
//Have to restrict to struct or you get the error:
//The type 'R' must be a non-nullable value type in order to use it as parameter 'T' in the generic type or method 'System.Nullable<T>'
{
if (a == null)
return defaultValue;
return func(a);
}
//In order to constrain to a class without interfering with the overload that has a generic struct constraint
//we need to add a parameter to the signature that is a reference type restricted to a class

//http://msmvps.com/blogs/jon_skeet/archive/2010/11/02/evil-code-overload-resolution-workaround.aspx
public static TResult GetValueOrDefault<TInput, TResult>(this TInput a, Func<TInput, TResult> func, TResult defaultValue, ClassConstraintHack<TResult> ignored = default(ClassConstraintHack<TResult>))
where TInput : Attribute
where TResult : class
{
if (a == null)
return defaultValue;
return func(a);
}
//I don't go so far as to use the inheritance trick decribed in the evil code overload resolution blog,
//just create some overloads that take nullable types - and I will just keep adding overloads for other nullable type
public static bool? GetValueOrDefault<TInput>(this TInput a, Func<TInput, bool?> func, bool? defaultValue)
where TInput : Attribute
{
if (a == null)
return defaultValue;
return func(a);
}
public static int? GetValueOrDefault<TInput>(this TInput a, Func<TInput, int?> func, int? defaultValue)
where TInput : Attribute
{
if (a == null)
return defaultValue;
return func(a);
}
public static T GetAttribute<T>(this PropertyInfo p) where T : Attribute
{
if (p == null)
return null;
return p.GetCustomAttributes(false).OfType<T>().LastOrDefault();
}
public static PropertyInfo GetProperty<T, R>(Expression<Func<T, R>> expression)
{
if (expression == null)
return null;
MemberExpression memberExpression = expression.Body as MemberExpression;
if (memberExpression == null)
return null;
return memberExpression.Member as PropertyInfo;
}
}
.NET allows you to dynamically change structure of Class by implementing System.ComponentModel.ICustomTypeDescriptor. Most serializers support this interface.
// Sample Serialization
foreach(PropertyDescriptor p in TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(obj)){
string name = p.PropertyName;
object value = p.GetValue(obj);
}
Internally TypeDescriptor uses Reflection, but the implementation allows us to override reflection attributes easily.
Here are three steps of implementation,
// Implement System.ComponentModel.ICustomTypeDescriptor Interface on
// your Entity
public class MyEntity: System.ComponentModel.ICustomTypeDescriptor
{
....
// most methods needs only call to default implementation as shown below
System.ComponentModel.AttributeCollection
System.ComponentModel.ICustomTypeDescriptor.GetAttributes()
{
return TypeDescriptor.GetAttributes(this, true);
}
string System.ComponentModel.ICustomTypeDescriptor.GetClassName()
{
return TypeDescriptor.GetClassName(this, true);
}
string System.ComponentModel.ICustomTypeDescriptor.GetComponentName()
{
return TypeDescriptor.GetComponentName(this, true);
}
System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter System.ComponentModel.ICustomTypeDescriptor.GetConverter()
{
return TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(this, true);
}
System.ComponentModel.EventDescriptor System.ComponentModel.ICustomTypeDescriptor.GetDefaultEvent()
{
return TypeDescriptor.GetDefaultEvent(this, true);
}
System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptor System.ComponentModel.ICustomTypeDescriptor.GetDefaultProperty()
{
return TypeDescriptor.GetDefaultProperty(this, true);
}
object System.ComponentModel.ICustomTypeDescriptor.GetEditor(Type editorBaseType)
{
return TypeDescriptor.GetEditor(this, editorBaseType, true);
}
System.ComponentModel.EventDescriptorCollection System.ComponentModel.ICustomTypeDescriptor.GetEvents(Attribute[] attributes)
{
return TypeDescriptor.GetEvents(this, attributes, true);
}
System.ComponentModel.EventDescriptorCollection System.ComponentModel.ICustomTypeDescriptor.GetEvents()
{
return TypeDescriptor.GetEvents(this, true);
}
System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptorCollection System.ComponentModel.ICustomTypeDescriptor.GetProperties(Attribute[] attributes)
{
return TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(this, attributes, true);
}
object System.ComponentModel.ICustomTypeDescriptor.GetPropertyOwner(System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptor pd)
{
return this;
}
// The Only method that needs different implementation is below
System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptorCollection
System.ComponentModel.ICustomTypeDescriptor.GetProperties()
{
// ... you are supposed to create new instance of
// PropertyDescriptorCollection with PropertyDescriptor
PropertyDescriptorCollection pdc = new PropertyDescriptorCollection();
foreach(PropertyDescriptor p in TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(this,true)){
// if readonly..
AtomPropertyDescriptor ap = new AtomPropertyDescriptor(p, p.Name);
// or
AtomPropertyDescriptor ap = new AtomPropertyDescriptor(p, p.Name,
true,
new XmlIgnoreAttribute(),
new ScriptIgnoreAttribute(),
new ReadOnlyAttribute());
pdc.Add(ap);
}
return pdc;
}
}
// And here is the AtomPropertyDescriptorClass
public class AtomPropertyDescriptor : PropertyDescriptor
{
PropertyDescriptor desc;
bool? readOnly = null;
public AtomPropertyDescriptor(PropertyDescriptor pd, string name,
bool? readOnly, params Attribute[] attrs) :
base(name, attrs)
{
desc = pd;
this.readOnly = readOnly;
}
public override bool CanResetValue(object component)
{
return desc.CanResetValue(component);
}
public override Type ComponentType
{
get
{
return desc.ComponentType;
}
}
public override object GetValue(object component)
{
return desc.GetValue(component);
}
public override bool IsReadOnly
{
get
{
if (readOnly.HasValue)
return readOnly.Value;
return desc.IsReadOnly;
}
}
public override Type PropertyType
{
get { return desc.PropertyType; }
}
public override void ResetValue(object component)
{
desc.ResetValue(component);
}
public override void SetValue(object component, object value)
{
desc.SetValue(component, value);
}
public override bool ShouldSerializeValue(object component)
{
return desc.ShouldSerializeValue(component);
}
}
I think what you are looking for is a custom Annotation Attribute like this:
<DisableEditAttribute(this.IsProjectStarted)>
Public Property NomInvertebrat As String
public override bool IsValid(bool value)
{
bool result = true;
// Add validation logic here.
if(value)
{
//Compare Current Value Against DB Value.
}
return result;
}

Get and Set attribute values of a class using aspectJ

I am using aspectj to add some field to a existing class and annotate it also.
I am using load time weaving .
Example :- I have a Class customer in which i am adding 3 string attributes. But my issues is that I have to set some values and get it also before my business call.
I am trying the below approach.
In my aj file i have added the below, my problem is in the Around pointcut , how do i get the attribute and set the attribute.
public String net.customers.PersonCustomer.getOfflineRiskCategory() {
return OfflineRiskCategory;
}
public void net.customers.PersonCustomer.setOfflineRiskCategory(String offlineRiskCategory) {
OfflineRiskCategory = offlineRiskCategory;
}
public String net.customers.PersonCustomer.getOnlineRiskCategory() {
return OnlineRiskCategory;
}
public void net.customers.PersonCustomer.setOnlineRiskCategory(String onlineRiskCategory) {
OnlineRiskCategory = onlineRiskCategory;
}
public String net.customers.PersonCustomer.getPersonCommercialStatus() {
return PersonCommercialStatus;
}
public void net.customers.PersonCustomer.setPersonCommercialStatus(String personCommercialStatus) {
PersonCommercialStatus = personCommercialStatus;
}
#Around("execution(* net.xxx.xxx.xxx.DataMigration.populateMap(..))")
public Object invoke(ProceedingJoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable {
Object arguments[] = joinPoint.getArgs();
if (arguments != null) {
HashMap<String, String> hMap = (HashMap) arguments[0];
PersonCustomer cus = (PersonCustomer) arguments[1];
return joinPoint.proceed();
}
If anyone has ideas please let me know.
regards,
FT
First suggestion, I would avoid mixing code-style aspectj with annotation-style. Ie- instead of #Around, use around.
Second, instead of getting the arguments from the joinPoint, you should bind them in the pointcut:
Object around(Map map, PersonCustomer cust) :
execution(* net.xxx.xxx.xxx.DataMigration.populateMap(Map, PersonCustomer) && args(map, cust) {
...
return proceed(map, cust);
}
Now, to answer your question: you also need to use intertype declarations to add new fields to your class, so do something like this:
private String net.customers.PersonCustomer.OfflineRiskCategory;
private String net.customers.PersonCustomer.OnlineRiskCategory;
private String net.customers.PersonCustomer.PersonCommercialStatus;
Note that the private keyword here means private to the aspect, not to the class that you declare it on.

Case-insensitive indexing with Hibernate-Search?

Is there a simple way to make Hibernate Search to index all its values in lower case ? Instead of the default mixed-case.
I'm using the annotation #Field. But I can't seem to be able to configure some application-level set
Fool that I am ! The StandardAnalyzer class is already indexing in lowercase. It's just a matter of setting the search terms in lowercase too. I was assuming the query would do that.
However, if a different analyzer were to be used, application-wide, then it can be set using the property hibernate.search.analyzer.
Lowercasing, term splitting, removing common terms and many more advanced language processing functions are applied by the Analyzer.
Usually you should process user input meant to match indexed strings with the same Analyzer used at indexing; configuring hibernate.search.analyzer sets the default (global) Analyzer, but you can customize it per index, per entity type, per field and even on different entity instances.
It is for example useful to have language specific analysis, so to process Chinese descriptions with Chinese specific routines, Italian descriptions with Italian tokenizers.
The default analyzer is ok for most use cases, and does lowercasing and splits terms on whitespace.
Consider as well that when using the Lucene Queryparser the API requests you the appropriate Analyzer.
When using the Hibernate Search QueryBuilder it attempts to apply the correct Analyzer on each field; see also http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/search/4.1/reference/en-US/html_single/#search-query-querydsl .
There are multiple way to make sort insensitive in string type field only.
1.First Way is add #Fields annotation in field/property on entity.
Like
#Fields({#Field(index=Index.YES,analyze=Analyze.YES,store=Store.YES),
#Field(index=Index.YES,name = "nameSort",analyzer = #Analyzer(impl=KeywordAnalyzer.class), store = Store.YES)})
private String name;
suppose you have name property with custom analyzer and sort on that. so it's not possible then you can add new Field in index with nameSort apply sort on that field.
you must apply Keyword Analyzer class because that is not tokeniz field and by default apply lowercase factory class in field.
2.Second way is that you can implement your comparison class on sorting like
#Override
public FieldComparator newComparator(String field, int numHits, int sortPos, boolean reversed) throws IOException {
return new StringValComparator(numHits, field);
}
Make one class with extend FieldComparatorSource class and implement above method.
Created new Class name with StringValComparator and implements FieldComparator
and implement following method
class StringValComparator extends FieldComparator {
private String[] values;
private String[] currentReaderValues;
private final String field;
private String bottom;
StringValComparator(int numHits, String field) {
values = new String[numHits];
this.field = field;
}
#Override
public int compare(int slot1, int slot2) {
final String val1 = values[slot1];
final String val2 = values[slot2];
if (val1 == null) {
if (val2 == null) {
return 0;
}
return -1;
} else if (val2 == null) {
return 1;
}
return val1.toLowerCase().compareTo(val2.toLowerCase());
}
#Override
public int compareBottom(int doc) {
final String val2 = currentReaderValues[doc];
if (bottom == null) {
if (val2 == null) {
return 0;
}
return -1;
} else if (val2 == null) {
return 1;
}
return bottom.toLowerCase().compareTo(val2.toLowerCase());
}
#Override
public void copy(int slot, int doc) {
values[slot] = currentReaderValues[doc];
}
#Override
public void setNextReader(IndexReader reader, int docBase) throws IOException {
currentReaderValues = FieldCache.DEFAULT.getStrings(reader, field);
}
#Override
public void setBottom(final int bottom) {
this.bottom = values[bottom];
}
#Override
public String value(int slot) {
return values[slot];
}
}
Apply sorting on Fields Like
new SortField("name",new StringCaseInsensitiveComparator(), true);

IEnumerable - my extension method

public static Record FindOrCreate(this IEnumerable<Record> ienumerable, string name)
{
if (ienumerable.Where(element => element.Name == name).FirstOrDefault() != null)
return ienumerable.Where(element => element.Name == name).FirstOrDefault();
else
{
IEnumerable<Record> result = ienumerable.Concat(new[] {new Record(name, "")});
ienumerable = result;
return ienumerable.Where(element => element.Name == name).FirstOrDefault();
}
}
I know there is no Add method to IEnumerable but I want to stay with IEnumerable instead of ICollection and in really rare cases I have to add something. My methodmalways returns null if it doesn't find element.
Code EDITED !
So, now result has all elements that I want, but method still return null object. I don't know if is it possible to switch objects in extension methods? (like I did ienumerable=result) ?
I think you're trying to bend the IEnumerable<T> beyond it's purpose.
An IEnumerable<T> is just a sequence of elements and that's why IEnumerable<T> does not have an Add<T> method in it's interface. It's read only.
I would recommend changing your implementation of your extension method.
So the question is "how can I modify the code to not return null if the element isn't found, but return a new item"?
public static Record FindOrCreate(this IEnumerable<Record> source, string name)
{
Func<Record,bool> pred = element => element.Name == name;
return source.Any(pred) ? source.FirstOrDefault(pred) : new Record(name, "");
}
or
public static Record FindOrCreate(this IEnumerable<Record> source, string name)
{
return source.FirstOrDefault(element => element.Name == name) ?? new Record(name, "");
}
If the question is "how can I add a new item to the IEnumerable<Record> source, the short answer is you can't. The longer answer is cast the source to an ICollection and then add it. But at that point, you may as well just specify that you need an ICollection<T>
Note, I don't mean "you shouldn't" when I say "you can't", really, IEnumberable has no way to add items. Think about what it means to try to add a new number to the following seq
public IEnumerable<int> ShortSeq()
{
yield return 0;
}
var seq = ShortSeq();

Junit with new Date()

What would the junit test be when i have the following method:
#Override
public void saveLastSuccesfullLogin(final User user) {
gebruiker.setLastLogin(new Date());
storeUser(user);
}
submethode storeUser:
#Override
public void storeUser(final User user) {
EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
em.getTransaction().begin();
em.merge(user);
em.getTransaction().commit();
em.close();
}
The problem i have is the date, being set for the entity user and then stored. Im using junit and easymock.
Try pulling the new Date() into a method with default access specifier like below
#Override
public void saveLastSuccesfullLogin(final User user) {
gebruiker.setLastLogin(getDate());
storeUser(user);
}
Date getDate() {
return new Date();
}
In your test class override the class as below using a mock or stubbed date.
<ClassUnderTest> classUnderTest = new <ClassUnderTest> () {
#Override
Date getDate() {
return mockDate;
}
}
In this way you can assert the date value easily as it is going to be stubbed out.
What's the problem with the Date? That you don't know what it is to assert later? A few alternatives:
Pass the date into the method
Create a factory to get the current date/time so you can mock it out
Assert the date within a threshold of correctness
There is also a more "enterprise" approach that may be used where Dependency Injection is available (like in EJB, Spring etc.).
You can define an interface, for example TimeService and add e method that returns the current date.
public interface TimeService {
Date getCurrentDate();
}
You can implement this to return new Date() and use it like this:
gebruiker.setLastLogin(timeService.getCurrentTime());
This will obviously be very easy to test because you can mock the TimeService. Using EasyMock (just an example), this might be:
Date relevantDateForTest = ...
expect(timeService.getCurrentTime()).andReturn(relevantDateForTest);
replay(timeService);
Using the TimeService throughout the entire code and never using new Date() is a pretty good practice and has other advantages as well. I found it helpful in a number of occasions, including manual functional testing of features that would activate in the future. Going even further, the system time may be retrieved from an external system thus making it consistent across clusters etc.
You can also create a getDate method, and a date static var:
private static Date thisDate = null;
#Override
public void saveLastSuccesfullLogin(final User user) {
gebruiker.setLastLogin(getDate());
storeUser(user);
}
public Date getDate() {
if(thisDate != null) return thisDate;
return new Date();
}
public void setDate(Date newDate) {
thisDate = newDate;
}
Then in your test method, you can go ahead and call setDate to control what date you will get.
