How to use interface MyCssResource in Utility class (GWT/ GWTP)? - gwt

I have
public interface MyResource extends ClientBundle{
#NotStrict
#Source("/myResource.css")
MyCssResource css();
}
public interface MyCssResource extends CssResource {
String gridEvenRow();
String gridOddRow();
.... more styling here....
}
in TestView.java
#UiField MyResource res;
#Inject
public TestView(final Binder binder) {
widget = binder.createAndBindUi(this);
res.css().ensureInjected();
}
In TestPresenter.java, I can style Grid without any problem.
for (int i = 1; i < myGrid.getRowCount(); i++) {
if((i%2) == 0){
myGrid.getRowFormatter().addStyleName(i, getView().getRes().css().gridEvenRow());
}
else{
myGrid.getRowFormatter().addStyleName(i, getView().getRes().css().gridOddRow());
}
}
But I don't want to repeat this code every time I initialize a Grid. So I want to put this code into a Utility class so that I can use it by just 1 line of code. Utility.formatGridOddEvenRow(myGrid);
Here is code in Utility
public class Utility {
public static MyResource res;
public Utility(){
res.css().ensureInjected();
}
public static void formatGridOddEvenRow(Grid grid){
for (int i = 1; i < grid.getRowCount(); i++) {
if((i%2) == 0){
grid.getRowFormatter().addStyleName(i, res.css().gridEvenRow());
}
else{
grid.getRowFormatter().addStyleName(i, res.css().gridOddRow());
}
}
}
}
However, it got run-time error [ERROR] - Uncaught exception escaped ? or some kind of error i don't know.
so, How to use interface MyCssResource in Utility class (GWT/ GWTP)?

public static final MyResource res=GWT.create(MyResource.class)
static{res.css().ensureInjected()}
add this code anywhere and use it. if you give all of your code, may be more helpfull.

I Hope constructor is not called can you check place an alert and see is ensureInjected() is called.
As per Java Static method calling doesn't need object creation. so Utility Object is not created so constructor will not be called.
For GWT CssResources it is must ensureInjected() called before applying the css.

Mock an Interface with Mockito return a NullPointerException

I m trying create unit tests for one project.I m facing a problem because when I try control the result of an interface(mock). When the code get the Interface variable that return a NullPointerException.
Firstly I tried #Override the method in my test class (ClassA), but it don't work. After that I tried mock the interface object and control the comportment with Mockito.When().tehnReturn();
I will put here my code, I read some solutions but none works.
My Interface:
#FunctionalInterface
public interface Interface {
UpdateXResponse process(UpdateXRequest request) throws Exception;
}
The class I want to test:
#Service(ClassA.class)
public class ClassA extends VService implements UpdateX {
#Reference
#Inject
private Interface interface;
#Inject
public ClassA(...) {...}
#Override
public UpdateXResponse process(UpdateXRequest request) throws Exception {
UpdateXResponse response = initResponse(context, request, new UpdateXResponse());
UpdateXInput input = request.getInput();
UpdateXOutput output = new UpdateXOutput();
response.setOutput(output);
try {
firstMethodCall(...);
} catch (Exception t) {
throwCorrectException(t, logger);
}
return response;
}
private void firstMethodCall(...) throws Exception {
TypeF typeF = callInterfaceMethod(...);
...
}
/**
* Orchestrates Interface service
*/
protected TypeF callInterfaceMethod(...) {
...
request.setInput(input);
request.setHeader(header);
InterfaceResponse response = interface.process(request); // LINE ERROR - In this step interface is NULL when the test get this
return response;
}
}
And finally my class test:
#RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
#PrepareForTest(value = {ClassA.class,Interface.class} )
public class WithPowerMockUnitTest{
#InjectMocks
private ClassA classA;
private Interface interface;
#Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
InterfaceRequest InterfaceRequest = createInterfaceRequest();
InterfaceResponse serviceUnavailableResponse = createInterfaceResponse();
Interface = Mockito.mock(Interface.class);
when(Interface.process(Mockito.any(InterfaceRequest.class))).thenReturn(serviceUnavailableResponse);
}
#Test
public void testh() throws SOAException {
InterfaceResponse res = interface.process(Mockito.any(InterfaceRequest.class)); // There all run ok. The interface is not null and return what i expected.
System.out.println("RES "+res);
}
#Test
public void test() {
assertNotNull(classA); // not null
assertNotNull(interface); // not null
}
#Test
public void newTest() throws Exception {
InterfaceRequest InterfaceRequest = createInterfaceRequest();
InterfaceResponse serviceUnavailableResponse = createInterfaceResponse();
UpdateXResponse response = ClassA.process(updateXRequest()); // PROBLEM!! When that get the LINE ERROR the interface is null! WHY?
}
}
I put some comments in the lines where the problem exists for me.
public interface A{
Response process(Request r) throws Exception;
}
public class B{
private Class_That_Override_Interface_method ctoim;
public Response function(){
X res = method_B();
}
protected X method_B(){
response res = ctoim.process(request); // That ctoim is always NULL when the test get that line/call
}
}
Thanks
You're missing the #Mock annotation on your Interface variable.
Therefore the mock is not injected into your classA and the newTest() fails. (In this case remove Interface = Mockito.mock(Interface.class); from the setUp method).
Alternativly remove the #InjectMocks annotation and create your class under test manually passing your mock into the constructor.
For this specific case (assuming its a different case from the last question)
there doesn't seem to be a need to involve PowerMockito. So unless you left out some relevant parts you might as well just use the MockitoJUnitRunner.
Ps.:
Also remeber what I said last time about compilable examples?
interface is a keyword and can't be used for variables.
You should also aim to write variables identical all the times (not Interface and interface / classA and ClassA)
And in case you haven't read it yet check out the help section about minmal reproducible examples.
Edit:
I fogot to mention that the line interface.process(Mockito.any(InterfaceRequest.class)); in testh() is actually invalid syntax. You should use ArgumentMatchers only for parameters of mocked methods.
Also consider adding the MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this); to your setUp method, when using the PowerMockRunner.

How to get widget height in GWT using UiBinder

I'm unable to get the height of the widget in my code
docklayoutpanel.setHeight("1900px");
String height=Integer.toString(docklayoutpanel.getOffsetHeight());
String heightt=height+"px";
System.out.println(heightt);
but the o/p is always 0px.
The question is old but I had the same problem and it took me quite long to solve it. So to help others here is my solution.
I'm using UIBinder to constuct my views and in the constructor I added a Scheduler.
public class MyWidgetImpl extends Composite implements MyWidget {
#UiTemplate("MyWidget.ui.xml")
interface MainViewUiBinder extends UiBinder<Widget, MyWidgetImpl> {
}
#UiField(provided = true)
InputPanel inputPanel;
#UiField(provided = true)
ResultPanel resultPanel;
public MyWidgetImpl() {
inputPanel = ClientFactory.getInputPanel();
resultPanel = ClientFactory.getResultPanel();
MainViewUiBinder uiBinder = GWT.create(MainViewUiBinder.class);
initWidget(uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this));
Window.addResizeHandler(new ResizeHandler() {
public void onResize(ResizeEvent event) {
resize();
}
});
Scheduler.get().scheduleDeferred(new Scheduler.ScheduledCommand() {
public void execute() {
resize();
}
});
}
private void resize() {
if(Window.getClientHeight() > resultPanel.getCellTree().getAbsoluteTop())
resultPanel.getScrollPanel().setHeight((Window.getClientHeight() - resultPanel.getCellTree().getAbsoluteTop()) + "px");
}
}
It depends where do you call this code. Height will be available after load i.e. you can get you height in onLoad() method

Using GWT Editors with a complex usecase

I'm trying to create a page which is very similar to the Google Form creation page.
This is how I am attempting to model it using the GWT MVP framework (Places and Activities), and Editors.
CreateFormActivity (Activity and presenter)
CreateFormView (interface for view, with nested Presenter interface)
CreateFormViewImpl (implements CreateFormView and Editor< FormProxy >
CreateFormViewImpl has the following sub-editors:
TextBox title
TextBox description
QuestionListEditor questionList
QuestionListEditor implements IsEditor< ListEditor< QuestionProxy, QuestionEditor>>
QuestionEditor implements Editor < QuestionProxy>
QuestionEditor has the following sub-editors:
TextBox questionTitle
TextBox helpText
ValueListBox questionType
An optional subeditor for each question type below.
An editor for each question type:
TextQuestionEditor
ParagraphTextQuestionEditor
MultipleChoiceQuestionEditor
CheckboxesQuestionEditor
ListQuestionEditor
ScaleQuestionEditor
GridQuestionEditor
Specific Questions:

The Question Editor

dataType.setValue(QuestionType.BooleanQuestionType, true);
dataType.setAcceptableValues(Arrays.asList(QuestionType.values()));
/*
* The type drop-down UI element is an implementation detail of the
* CompositeEditor. When a question type is selected, the editor will
* call EditorChain.attach() with an instance of a QuestionData subtype

*/
dataType.addValueChangeHandler(new ValueChangeHandler<QuestionType>() {

Question Base Data Editor
public interface QuestionBaseDataEditor extends HasRequestContext<QuestionDataProxy>, IsWidget {
}
Example Subtype
public class BooleanQuestionDataEditor extends Composite implements QuestionBaseDataEditor {
interface Binder extends UiBinder<Widget, BooleanQuestionDataEditor> {}
#Path("prompt")
#UiField
TextBox prompt = new TextBox();
public QuestionNumberDataEditor() {
initWidget(GWT.<Binder> create(Binder.class).createAndBindUi(this));
}
#Override
public void setRequestContext(final RequestContext ctx) {
}
}
The only issue left is that QuestionData subtype specific data isn't being displayed, or flushed. I think it has to do with the Editor setup I'm using.
For example, The value for prompt in the BooleanQuestionDataEditor is neither set nor flushed, and is null in the rpc payload.
My guess is: Since the QuestionDataEditor implements LeafValueEditor, the driver will not visit the subeditor, even though it has been attached.
Big thanks to anyone who can help!!!
Fundamentally, you want a CompositeEditor to handle cases where objects are dynamically added or removed from the Editor hierarchy. The ListEditor and OptionalFieldEditor adaptors implement CompositeEditor.
If the information required for the different types of questions is fundamentally orthogonal, then multiple OptionalFieldEditor could be used with different fields, one for each question type. This will work when you have only a few question types, but won't really scale well in the future.
A different approach, that will scale better would be to use a custom implementation of a CompositeEditor + LeafValueEditor that handles a polymorphic QuestionData type hierarchy. The type drop-down UI element would become an implementation detail of the CompositeEditor. When a question type is selected, the editor will call EditorChain.attach() with an instance of a QuestionData subtype and the type-specific sub-Editor. The newly-created QuestionData instance should be retained to implement LeafValueEditor.getValue(). The implementation of CompositeEditor.setValue() just creates the type-specific sub-Editor and calls EditorChain.attach().
FWIW, OptionalFieldEditor can be used with ListEditor or any other editor type.
We implemented similar approach (see accepted answer) and it works for us like this.
Since driver is initially unaware of simple editor paths that might be used by sub-editors, every sub-editor has own driver:
public interface CreatesEditorDriver<T> {
RequestFactoryEditorDriver<T, ? extends Editor<T>> createDriver();
}
public interface RequestFactoryEditor<T> extends CreatesEditorDriver<T>, Editor<T> {
}
Then we use the following editor adapter that would allow any sub-editor that implements RequestFactoryEditor to be used. This is our workaround to support polimorphism in editors:
public static class DynamicEditor<T>
implements LeafValueEditor<T>, CompositeEditor<T, T, RequestFactoryEditor<T>>, HasRequestContext<T> {
private RequestFactoryEditorDriver<T, ? extends Editor<T>> subdriver;
private RequestFactoryEditor<T> subeditor;
private T value;
private EditorDelegate<T> delegate;
private RequestContext ctx;
public static <T> DynamicEditor<T> of(RequestFactoryEditor<T> subeditor) {
return new DynamicEditor<T>(subeditor);
}
protected DynamicEditor(RequestFactoryEditor<T> subeditor) {
this.subeditor = subeditor;
}
#Override
public void setValue(T value) {
this.value = value;
subdriver = null;
if (null != value) {
RequestFactoryEditorDriver<T, ? extends Editor<T>> newSubdriver = subeditor.createDriver();
if (null != ctx) {
newSubdriver.edit(value, ctx);
} else {
newSubdriver.display(value);
}
subdriver = newSubdriver;
}
}
#Override
public T getValue() {
return value;
}
#Override
public void flush() {
if (null != subdriver) {
subdriver.flush();
}
}
#Override
public void onPropertyChange(String... paths) {
}
#Override
public void setDelegate(EditorDelegate<T> delegate) {
this.delegate = delegate;
}
#Override
public RequestFactoryEditor<T> createEditorForTraversal() {
return subeditor;
}
#Override
public String getPathElement(RequestFactoryEditor<T> subEditor) {
return delegate.getPath();
}
#Override
public void setEditorChain(EditorChain<T, RequestFactoryEditor<T>> chain) {
}
#Override
public void setRequestContext(RequestContext ctx) {
this.ctx = ctx;
}
}
Our example sub-editor:
public static class VirtualProductEditor implements RequestFactoryEditor<ProductProxy> {
interface Driver extends RequestFactoryEditorDriver<ProductProxy, VirtualProductEditor> {}
private static final Driver driver = GWT.create(Driver.class);
public Driver createDriver() {
driver.initialize(this);
return driver;
}
...
}
Our usage example:
#Path("")
DynamicEditor<ProductProxy> productDetailsEditor;
...
public void setProductType(ProductType type){
if (ProductType.VIRTUAL==type){
productDetailsEditor = DynamicEditor.of(new VirtualProductEditor());
} else if (ProductType.PHYSICAL==type){
productDetailsEditor = DynamicEditor.of(new PhysicalProductEditor());
}
}
Would be great to hear your comments.
Regarding your question why subtype specific data isn't displayed or flushed:
My scenario is a little bit different but I made the following observation:
GWT editor databinding does not work as one would expect with abstract editors in the editor hierarchy. The subEditor declared in your QuestionDataEditor is of type QuestionBaseDataEditor and this is fully abstract type (an interface). When looking for fields/sub editors to populate with data/flush GWT takes all the fields declared in this type. Since QuestionBaseDataEditor has no sub editors declared nothing is displayed/flushed. From debugging I found out that is happens due to GWT using a generated EditorDelegate for that abstract type rather than the EditorDelegate for the concrete subtype present at that moment.
In my case all the concrete sub editors had the same types of leaf value editors (I had two different concrete editors one to display and one to edit the same bean type) so I could do something like this to work around this limitation:
interface MyAbstractEditor1 extends Editor<MyBean>
{
LeafValueEditor<String> description();
}
// or as an alternative
abstract class MyAbstractEditor2 implements Editor<MyBean>
{
#UiField protected LeafValueEditor<String> name;
}
class MyConcreteEditor extends MyAbstractEditor2 implements MyAbstractEditor1
{
#UiField TextBox description;
public LeafValueEditor<String> description()
{
return description;
}
// super.name is bound to a TextBox using UiBinder :)
}
Now GWT finds the subeditors in the abstract base class and in both cases I get the corresponding fields name and description populated and flushed.
Unfortunately this approach is not suitable when the concrete subeditors have different values in your bean structure to edit :(
I think this is a bug of the editors framework GWT code generation, that can only be solved by the GWT development team.
Isn't the fundamental problem that the binding happens at compile time so will only bind to QuestionDataProxy so won't have sub-type specific bindings? The CompositeEditor javadoc says "An interface that indicates that a given Editor is composed of an unknown number of sub-Editors all of the same type" so that rules this usage out?
At my current job I'm pushing to avoid polymorphism altogether as the RDBMS doesn't support it either. Sadly we do have some at the moment so I'm experimenting with a dummy wrapper class that exposes all the sub-types with specific getters so the compiler has something to work on. Not pretty though.
Have you seen this post: http://markmail.org/message/u2cff3mfbiboeejr this seems along the right lines.
I'm a bit worried about code bloat though.
Hope that makes some sort of sense!

GWT Widget.addHandler

I am trying to utilize Widget.addHandler(). However, the handler never gets called. Below is my sample code. What do I need to change to fix this?
My Handler Implementation:
public class CustomMouseMoveHandler
extends GwtEvent.Type<MouseMoveHandler>
implements MouseMoveHandler
{
#Override
public void onMouseMove(MouseMoveEvent event) {
System.out.println("----> onMouseMove.");
}
}
My EntryPoint.OnModuleLoad():
ContentPanel cp = new ContentPanel();
cp.setHeaderVisible(false);
cp.setHeight(com.google.gwt.user.client.Window.getClientHeight());
CustomMouseMoveHandler handler = new CustomMouseMoveHandler();
cp.addHandler(handler, handler);
RootPanel.get().add(cp);
/////
Added on 7/1/2011.
The following complete GWT simple code does not work either (with Jason's hint applied). Please help me out. Thanks
package tut.client;
import com.google.gwt.core.client.EntryPoint;
import com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.MouseMoveEvent;
import com.google.gwt.event.dom.client.MouseMoveHandler;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.RootPanel;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.TextArea;
/**
* Entry point classes define <code>onModuleLoad()</code>.
*/
public class GwtHandler implements EntryPoint, MouseMoveHandler {
/**
* This is the entry point method.
*/
public void onModuleLoad() {
TextArea comp = new TextArea();
comp.setSize("200px", "200px");
comp.setText("Testing Text");
comp.addHandler(this, MouseMoveEvent.getType());
RootPanel.get().add(comp);
}
#Override
public void onMouseMove(MouseMoveEvent event) {
com.google.gwt.user.client.Window.alert("onMouseMove");
}
}
GwtEvent.Type is used to dispatch events based on an event specific and unique object (object equality - == - is used to match event types). Passing your CustomMouseMoveHandler as the Type to addHandler indicates an event type other than that used for MouseMoveEvents (Indeed in this case every CustomMouseMoveHandler would be assigned to a different event Type since each object is different).
Instead of extending GwtEvent.Type<MouseMoveHandler> in your handler you need to get the event Type from MouseMoveEvent itself (using the static getType() method).
Don't extend GwtEvent.Type in your CustomMouseMoveHandler:
public class CustomMouseMoveHandler
implements MouseMoveHandler
{
...
}
And to add the handler:
cp.addDomHandler(handler, MouseMoveEvent.getType());
DomEvents have to be registered using addDomHandler, or you have to sinkEvents for their event type. addDomHandler is a shortcut for sinkEvents+addHandler.
Here's how I solved my problem. I wanted to add handlers to a NumberLabel. This is what worked:
final NumberLabel<Long> label = new NumberLabel<Long>();
label.setValue(2000l);
label.setHorizontalAlignment(HasHorizontalAlignment.ALIGN_RIGHT);
MouseOverHandler handler = new MouseOverHandler() {
public void onMouseOver(MouseOverEvent event) {
System.out.println("mouse over");
}
};
Widget widget = label.asWidget();
widget.addDomHandler(handler, MouseOverEvent.getType());
Treating is as a Widget did the trick.
By the way, System.out.println worked.

ClientBundle for multiple "themes"

We have a web application that needs a different theme for each major client. The original developer did this by looking at the URL in javascript and adding a stylesheet to override the default theme.
One problem with this is the site has the default look for a few seconds then suddenly swaps to the correct theme. Another is that it seems to waste a lot of bandwidth/time.
My current idea is to create a "default" ClientBundle with our default look and feel extend that interface and override each entry (as needed) with the client's images using the various annotations like #ImageResouce and pointing to a different location.
Has anybody had experience doing this? One problem I forsee is not being able to use the uibinder style tags as they statically point to a specific resource bundle.
Any ideas?
Overriden bundles
Yes you can.
I've did the override thing with ClientBundles and works fine. One thing you MUST do is inherit the types of the properties too. By example:
BigBundle {
Nestedundle otherBundle();
ImageResource otherImage();
Styles css();
}
And then you must inherit this way:
OtherBigBundle extends BigBundle {
OtherNestedBundle otherBundle(); // if you want to change it
ImageResource otherImage(); // of you want to change it
OtherStyles css(); // of you want to change it
}
and OtherNestedBundle extends NestedBundle
and OtherStyles extends Styles
At least with css's: if the properties are declared NOT USING the child interface they will produce styles for the same CSS classname and all will be mixed. So declare overriden styles with the child interfaces :)
Flexible UIBinders
You can set from outside the bundle to use if you use UiField(provided=true) annotation. In this way you first set the bundle and then call the uibindler. It will use the resource field assuming it's already created.
Deferred binding
You could use GWT.runAsync for loading just the correct bundle.
Some example
The ui.xml
<ui:with field='res' type='your.package.TheBundle'/>
the corresponding class
#UiField(provided=true) TheBundle bundle;
private void createTheThing() {
this.bundle = factory.createBundle();
MyUiBindler binder = GWT.create(MyUiBindler.class);
this.panel = binder.createAndBindUi(this);
...
}
Some bundle interfaces
interface TheBundle extends ClientBundle {
#ImageResource("default.png")
ImageResource image1();
#Source("default.css")
TheCss css();
}
interface Theme1Bundle extends TheBundle {
#ImageResource("one.png")
ImageResource image1(); // type: imageresource is ok
#Source("one.css")
OneCss css(); // type: OneCss => use other compiled css class-names
interface OneCss extends TheCss { // inner-interface, just for fun
// don't need to declare each String method
}
}
If you don't override something it's ok
Options for the bundle factory
1) just altogether
if (...) {
return GWT.create(TheBundle.class);
} else if (...) {
return GWT.create(Theme1Bundle.class);
}
2) runAsync (just load the needed part... but after the initial part is executed)
if (...) {
GWT.runAsync(new RunAsyncCallback() {
public void onSuccess() {
return GWT.create(TheBundle.class);
}
// please program the onFailure method
});
} else if (...) {
GWT.runAsync(new RunAsyncCallback() {
public void onSuccess() {
return GWT.create(Theme1Bundle.class);
}
// please program the onFailure method
});
}
3) use deferred-binding and generators for autogenerating factory in compile-time based on annotated bundles like #ThemeBundle("one")
This example is from the real world. I use a DynamicEntryPointWidgetFactory (DEPWidgetFactory for short) for creating widget based on an identifier string. Each widget is an application screen and each main menu ítem has the widgetName it has to create.
In your case the id will be the theme to create.
Important: if you use runAsync you cannot create the resourcebundle just before creating the UI like in the sample code before. You must ask for the theme and when it's ready (in the callback) pass it to your widget constructor and your widget can assign it to its field.
The factory interface:
public interface DynamicEntryPointWidgetFactory
{
public void buildWidget(String widgetName, AsyncCallback<Widget> callback);
}
The annotation for widgets to generate:
#Target(ElementType.TYPE)
public #interface EntryPointWidget
{
/**
* The name wich will be used to identify this widget.
*/
String value();
}
The module configuration:
It says: the implementation for the Factory will be generated with this class (the other option is to use replace-with, but in our case we don't have predefined options for each locale or browser, but something more dynamic).
<generate-with class="com.dia.nexdia.services.gwt.rebind.entrypoint.DynamicEntryPointFactoryGenerator">
<when-type-assignable class="com.dia.nexdia.services.gwt.client.entrypoint.DynamicEntryPointWidgetFactory" />
</generate-with>
The generator:
public class DynamicEntryPointFactoryGenerator extends Generator {
#Override
public String generate(TreeLogger logger, GeneratorContext context,
String typeName) throws UnableToCompleteException {
PrintWriter pw = context.tryCreate(logger,
"x.services.gwt.client.entrypoint",
"DynamicEntryPointWidgetFactoryImpl");
if (pw != null) {
// write package, imports, whatever
pw.append("package x.services.gwt.client.entrypoint;");
pw.append("import x.services.gwt.client.entrypoint.DynamicEntryPointWidgetFactory;");
pw.append("import com.google.gwt.core.client.GWT;");
pw.append("import com.google.gwt.core.client.RunAsyncCallback;");
pw.append("import com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.AsyncCallback;");
