PubNub stop publishing - sockets

In using PubNub when I do a publish why does it start a continuous loop?
Programs should end once the function is done.
But after the publish message is sent, the publish program continues to run, like it is waiting for something else.
Here is my code
import java.sql.Timestamp;
import java.util.Date;
import com.pubnub.api.*;
import org.json.*;
public class UserRegister {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
Pubnub pubnub_pub = new Pubnub("pub-c-3192165c-...", "sub-c-7debcf5c-...");
Callback callback = new Callback() {
public void successCallback(String channel, Object response) {
System.out.println(response.toString());
}
public void errorCallback(String channel, PubnubError error) {
System.out.println(error.toString());
}
};
String encMessage="";
JSONObject message = new JSONObject();
try {
System.out.println("user reg");
message.put("CMD", "USER_REGISTER");
message.put("EMAIL", "jabali2#jabali.in");
message.put("PASSWORD", "1123");
message.put("TIMESTAMP", new Timestamp(new Date().getTime()));
encMessage = new MyEncrypt().encrypt(message.toString());
}
catch (JSONException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
pubnub_pub.publish("jabali_channel_101", encMessage, callback);
}
}
Shouldnt the program stop once it finishes publishing?
Its not getting stuck in a loop somewhere either. I can see the output in the PubNub console and in my subscriber. Also I can write what ever I want after the publish statement and it continues like a normal program.
Except for the fact that it never ends on its own
Can any one explain what is going on?

You can use:
pubnub_pub.stop();
This will terminate the thread itself after publishing.

When will the repaint method of Form in LWUIT be triggered

I was using LWUIT to develop a Xlet project in a emulator.
The project is multiple threaded, when one of the thread finish its work then die or just enter the wain() state, the repaint() method of displaying form will be called and the screen will flash (white screen for a shot time then back to normal).
Part of the code below:
public class LwuitWhiteScreenXlet implements Xlet {
private Image bgImage;
Form form;
Thread thread;
public void destroyXlet(boolean arg0) throws XletStateChangeException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void initXlet(XletContext arg0) throws XletStateChangeException {
form = new Form();
/*Form initialize, code omitted*/
}
public void pauseXlet() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
public void startXlet() throws XletStateChangeException {
System.out.println("Xlet startXlet START++++++++++++++++++++");
thread = new Thread((new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Image image = null;
try {
image = Image.createImage("/res/arrow.png");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Label labelTmp = new AnimatedLabel(image, 3);
}
}));
thread.start();
form.show();
System.out.println("Xlet startXlet END ------------------");
}
}
Has anyone encountered this problem too?
You are changing LWUIT code off the EDT which isn't allowed and isn't supported. I suggest looking at implementing the Animation interface and using registerAnimated() in Form.

Gwt Logging into Client UI from Server-side

I have created GWT app, in which I have a Vertical Panel where I log the details.
Client side logging I'm doing using logger
sample code is:
public static VerticalPanel customLogArea = new VerticalPanel();
public static Logger rootLogger = Logger.getLogger("");
logerPanel.setTitle("Log");
scrollPanel.add(customLogArea);
logerPanel.add(scrollPanel);
if (LogConfiguration.loggingIsEnabled()) {
rootLogger.addHandler(new HasWidgetsLogHandler(customLogArea));
}
And I'm updating my vertical log panel using this code
rootLogger.log(Level.INFO,
"Already Present in Process Workspace\n");
But now my question is , I have to log server side details also into my vertical log panel.
My serverside GreetingServiceImpl code is:
public boolean createDirectory(String fileName)
throws IllegalArgumentException {
Boolean result = false;
try {
rootLogger.log(Level.INFO,
"I want to log this to my UI vertical log Panel");
system.out.println("log this to UI");
File dir = new File("D:/GenomeSamples/" + fileName);
if (!dir.exists()) {
result = dir.mkdir();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return result;
}
Now I want to log sysoutprt statements to my UI from here. How can I achieve this. Now using rootLogger.log(Level.INFO,
"I want to log this to my UI vertical log Panel"); code it is logging this to eclipse console . But how to log this to my UI in client side.
Please let me know If anything wrong in this question.
If I understood you right, you want to see your server log entries in web interface. And of course, java logger and printStackTrace() won't help you in that: your gwt code is compiled to JavaScript and has nothing to do with console and log files. Besides, your server can't "push" log entries to client - it's up to client to make requests. So if you want to track new log entries and move it to client, you need to poll server for new entries. And yet another problem: you may have many clients polling your servlet and you should keep in mind this multi-threading.
This is how I see probable implementation (it's just concept, may contain some errors and misspellings):
Remote interface:
public interface GreetingService extends RemoteService {
List<String> getLogEntries();
boolean createDirectory(String fileName)throws IllegalArgumentException;
}
Remote Servlet:
public class GreetingServiceImpl extends RemoteServiceServlet implements GreetingService {
public static final String LOG_ENTRIES = "LogEntries";
public List<String> getLogEntries() {
List<String> entries = getEntriesFromSession();
List<String>copy = new ArrayList<String>(entries.size());
copy.addAll(entries);
//prevent loading the same entries twice
entries.clear();
return copy;
}
public boolean createDirectory(String fileName)throws IllegalArgumentException {
Boolean result = false;
try {
log("I want to log this to my UI vertical log Panel");
log("log this to UI");
File dir = new File("D:/GenomeSamples/" + fileName);
if (!dir.exists()) {
result = dir.mkdir();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
log("Exception occurred: " + e.getMessage());
}
return result;
}
private List<String> getEntriesFromSession() {
HttpSession session= getThreadLocalRequest().getSession();
List<String>entries = (List<String>)session.getAttribute(LOG_ENTRIES);
if (entries == null) {
entries = new ArrayList<String>();
session.setAttribute(LOG_ENTRIES,entries);
}
return entries;
}
private void log(String message) {
getEntriesFromSession().add(message);
}
Simple implementation of polling (gwt client-side):
Timer t = new Timer() {
#Override
public void run() {
greetingAsyncService.getLogEntries(new AsyncCallBack<List<String>>() {
void onSuccess(List<String>entries) {
//put entries to your vertical panel
}
void onFailure(Throwable caught){
//handle exceptions
}
});
}
};
// Schedule the timer to run once in second.
t.scheduleRepeating(1000);
greetingAsyncService.createDirectory(fileName, new AsyncCallBack<Void>(){
void onSuccess(List<String>entries) {
//no need to poll anymore
t.cancel();
}
void onFailure(Throwable caught){
//handle exceptions
}
});
}
As you can see, I have used session to keep log entries, because session is client-specific and so different clients will receive different logs. It's up to you to decide what to use - you may create your own Logger class that will track users itself and give appropriate logs to appropriate clients.
And also you may want to save level of your messages (INFO,ERROR etc.) and then display messages in different colors (red for ERROR, for instance). To do so, you need to save not List, but some your custom class.
You'd create a logging servlet that has the same methods as your logging framework to send log messages to your server via RPC.
Here are some sample RPC log methods you can use:
public interface LogService extends RemoteService {
public void logException(String logger, String priority, String message, String error, StackTraceElement[] stackTrace, String nativeStack);
}
public interface LogServiceAsync {
public void logException(String logger, String priority, String message, String error, StackTraceElement[] stackTrace, String nativeStack, AsyncCallback<Void> callback);
}
public class LogServiceImpl extends RemoteServiceServlet implements LogService {
public void logException(String loggerName, String priority, String logMessage, String errorMessage, StackTraceElement[] stackTrace, String nativeStack) {
Logger logger = getLogger(loggerName);
Level level = getLevel(priority);
// Create a Throwable to log
Throwable caught = new Throwable();
if (errorMessage != null && stackTrace != null) {
caught = new Throwable(errorMessage);
caught.setStackTrace(stackTrace);
}
//do stuff with the other passed arguments (optional)
logger.log(level, message, caught);
}
}
Although those implementations are very nice, forget about timers and repeated server queries. We've something better now.
It's possible to push data from server to client using Atmosphere which supports WebSockets.

How to manage a separate thread/job within a eclipse job?

Here is my question :-
I am in the process of building a client-server application where I post the request to the server to generate 2 XML's for me (server fetches the information from the DB and generates XML based on this fetched info). Now, once the server has created these 2 XML's, server streams back these 2 files to the client so that client can save them on their machine.
(POSTING + READING FROM THE STREAM) IS ONE JOB. Without 2nd operation i.e. reading from stream, Job is incomplete.
I have created a Job in eclipse which posts the request to the server and takes the streamed files and save them on client machine. Posting the request to the server is a asynchronous call (it will return immediately). Once call is posted and returned immediately, I start polling on the Network Pipe for any data sever has sent(in this case it is the XML's data) & write it into a file.
As you can see here that reading the XML's from the stream and writing them into a file is part of the overall main Job but, still a separate job in itself (should be run in a separate thread). If User cancels the main job, reading from the network stream should also be cancelled.
So, basically my requirement is a cacellable job which does this entire thing. Reading from the stream should be separate Thread/Job but should be inside the main Job. If user cancels the main Job, this innner Job (reading from the Job) should also get cancelled.
Can you guys suggests a clean approach for doing this?
-Ankit
You can create a mainjob and within that mainjob you can create a subjob. If the mainjob is cancelled you can delegate the cancel to the subjob.
I created a simple view with two buttons. One for starting the jobs and the other for cancelling.
package rcpexperiments;
import org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor;
import org.eclipse.core.runtime.IStatus;
import org.eclipse.core.runtime.Status;
import org.eclipse.core.runtime.jobs.IJobChangeEvent;
import org.eclipse.core.runtime.jobs.Job;
import org.eclipse.core.runtime.jobs.JobChangeAdapter;
import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.SelectionAdapter;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.SelectionEvent;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Button;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite;
import org.eclipse.ui.part.ViewPart;
public class View extends ViewPart
{
private Job mainJob;
#Override
public void createPartControl(final Composite parent)
{
final Button button = new Button(parent, SWT.PUSH);
button.setText("Start Job");
button.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter()
{
#Override
public void widgetSelected(final SelectionEvent e)
{
mainJob = new Job("Main Job")
{
private boolean canceled = false;
#Override
protected void canceling()
{
System.out.println("Cancel requested.");
canceled = true;
}
#Override
protected IStatus run(final IProgressMonitor monitor)
{
final Job subJob = createSubJob();
subJob.schedule();
canceled = false;
while (!canceled)
{
try
{
Thread.sleep(100);
}
catch (final InterruptedException e)
{
}
}
subJob.cancel();
System.out.println("Main Job is canceled.");
return Status.CANCEL_STATUS;
}
private Job createSubJob()
{
return new Job("Sub Job")
{
boolean subJobCancel = false;
#Override
protected void canceling()
{
subJobCancel = true;
}
#Override
protected IStatus run(final IProgressMonitor monitor)
{
System.out.println("Sub Job started.");
while (!subJobCancel)
{
try
{
Thread.sleep(100);
}
catch (final InterruptedException e)
{
}
}
System.out.println("Sub Job canceled");
return Status.CANCEL_STATUS;
}
};
}
};
mainJob.addJobChangeListener(new JobChangeAdapter()
{
#Override
public void done(final IJobChangeEvent event)
{
System.out.println("Job finished by " + event.getResult());
}
});
mainJob.schedule();
System.out.println("Main Job started.");
};
});
final Button cancel = new Button(parent, SWT.PUSH);
cancel.setText("Cancel");
cancel.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter()
{
#Override
public void widgetSelected(final SelectionEvent e)
{
mainJob.cancel();
}
});
}
/** {#inheritDoc} */
#Override
public void setFocus()
{
}
}
I hope that is what you wanted.
It seemed to me like a bit of a hassle to define subjobs the way Micheal K. suggested. So I went looking into the Eclipse docs and found that the Job class defines a static method called createProgressGroup and can be used as follows (same doc) which does roughly the same thing:
Job parseJob, compileJob;
IProgressMonitor pm = Job.getJobManager().createProgressGroup();
try {
pm.beginTask("Building", 10);
parseJob.setProgressGroup(pm, 5);
parseJob.schedule();
compileJob.setProgressGroup(pm, 5);
compileJob.schedule();
parseJob.join();
compileJob.join();
} finally {
pm.done();
}
Please note that the IJobManager.getJobManager is deprecated.

Launching app and executing some test cases with Robotium

I am new to Robotium and tried to execute following code to launch an app and perform some functions.
An example would be, launch messaging app on android emulator and send a text message "Hi" to a user "test".
package com.example.android.test;
import com.example.android.NewUserActivity;
import com.jayway.android.robotium.solo.Solo;
import android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2;
public class NewUserActivityTest extends ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2<NewUserActivity> {
private Solo solo;
public NewUserActivityTest() {
super("com.example.android", NewUserActivity.class);
}
public void setUp() throws Exception {
super.setUp();
solo = new Solo(getInstrumentation(), getActivity());
}
#Override
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
try {
solo.finalize();
} catch (Throwable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
getActivity().finish();
super.tearDown();
}
public void sms() throws Exception{
assertTrue(solo.searchText("Messaging"));
solo.clickOnText("Messaging");
assertTrue(solo.searchText("New message"));
solo.clickOnButton("New message");
solo.enterText(0, "Test");
solo.enterText(1, "Hi");
}
}
With this code, Eclipse runs the test cases but I don't see it on emulator. I understand the package here is a dummy one, I want to know If I am doing it wrong?
Test methods that you want to be executed must have the prefix "test", e.g. "testSms".

How can I correctly update a progress bar for an operation of unknown duration within an Eclipse wizard?

I have implemented a wizard for my Eclipse plug-in, showing several pages. One of these pages needs some lengthy initialization, that means it consists of a SWT table, which needs to be populated by information coming from an external source. This source needs to be activated first (one single method call that returns after a couple of seconds - I can not know in advance how long it will take exactly), before it can be used as input for for the table viewer. This initialization is currently done by the table model provider when it needs to access the external source for the first time.
Therefore, when I enter the wizard page, I would like to show a dummy progress bar that just counts up for a while. My approach was the following, but unfortunately does not work at all:
private void initViewer() {
IRunnableWithProgress runnable = new IRunnableWithProgress() { // needed to embed long running operation into the wizard page
#Override
public void run(IProgressMonitor monitor) throws InvocationTargetException, InterruptedException {
SubMonitor progress = SubMonitor.convert(monitor);
Thread thread = new Thread() {
#Override
public void run() {
Display.getDefault().syncExec(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
viewer.setInput(ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot()); // this will make the table provider initialize the external source.
}
});
}
};
thread.start();
while(thread.isAlive()) {
progress.setWorkRemaining(10000);
progress.worked(1);
}
progress.done();
}
};
try {
getContainer().run(false, false, runnable);
} catch(Exception e) {
throw new Exception("Could not access data store", e);
}
}
This method gets then invoked when the wizard page's setVisible()-method is called and should, after a couple of seconds, set the viewer's input. This, however, never happens, because the inner-most run()-method never gets executed.
Any hints on how to deal with long-running (where an exact estimate is not available) initializations in Eclipse wizards would be very appreciated!
I have given below a simple example on how to use IRunnableWithProgress along with a ProgressMonitorDialog to perform a task of unknown quantity. To start with, have an implementation to IRunnableWithProgress from where the actual task is performed. This implementation could be an inner class.
public class MyRunnableWithProgress implements IRunnableWithProgress {
private String _fileName;
public MyRunnableWithProgress(String fileName) {
_fileName = fileName;
}
#Override
public void run(IProgressMonitor monitor) throws InvocationTargetException, InterruptedException {
int totalUnitsOfWork = IProgressMonitor.UNKNOWN;
monitor.beginTask("Performing read. Please wait...", totalUnitsOfWork);
performRead(_fileName, monitor); // This only performs the tasks
monitor.done();
}
}
Now, a generic implementation to ProgressMonitorDialog can be created as below which could be used for other places where a progress monitor dialog is required.
public class MyProgressMonitorDialog extends ProgressMonitorDialog {
private boolean cancellable;
public MyProgressMonitorDialog(Shell parent, boolean cancellable) {
super(parent);
this.cancellable = cancellable;
}
#Override
public Composite createDialogArea(Composite parent) {
Composite container = (Composite) super.createDialogArea(parent);
setCancelable(cancellable);
return container;
}
}
Having got the required implementation, the task can be invoked as below to get it processed with a progress dialog.
boolean cancellable = false;
IRunnableWithProgress myRunnable = new MyRunnableWithProgress(receivedFileName);
ProgressMonitorDialog progressMonitorDialog = new MyProgressMonitorDialog(getShell(), cancellable);
try {
progressMonitorDialog.run(true, true, myRunnable);
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
// Catch in your best way
throw new RuntimeException(e);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
//Catch in your best way
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
}
Hope this helps!
I assume the reason why it's "not working" for you is that the preparation of input is done in UI thread meaning that the progress bar cannot be updated. A better approach is to prepare input in advance and only set input to viewer after that.
