How to get all the queues and topics from solace

I want to discover all the destinations from solace (queues and topics)
I tried using MBeanServerConnection and query after names (but I didn't find a proper way to use this) or JNDI lookups Destination dest = (Destination) context.lookup(Dest_name), but I don't have the names of the queues/topics.
I am using solace - jms library.
I am searching for smth like this: (but for solace, not activeMq)
get all Queue from activeMQ

You will need to make use of SEMP over the management interface for this.
Sample commands:
curl -d '<rpc><show><queue><name>*</name></queue></show></rpc>' -u semp_username:semp_password http://your_management_ip:your_management_port/SEMP
curl -d '<rpc><show><topic-endpoint><name>*</name></topic-endpoint></show></rpc>' -u semp_username:semp_password http://your_management_ip:your_management_port/SEMP
Note that I'm using curl for simplicity, but any application can perform HTTP POSTs to execute these commands.
If you are using Java, you can refer to the SempHttpSetRequest sample found within the Solace API samples.
Documentation on SEMP can be found here.
However, the larger question here is why do you need to discover all destinations?
One of the features of the message broker is to decouple the publishers and consumers.
If you need to know if your persistent message is being published to a topic with no consumers, you can make use of the reject-msg-to-sender-on-no-subscription-match setting in the publishing application's client-profile.
This means that the publisher will obtain a negative acknowledgement in the event that it tries to publish a message on a topic that has no matching subscribers.
You can refer to "Handling Guaranteed Messages with No Matches" at https://docs.solace.com/Configuring-and-Managing/Configuring-Client-Profiles.htm for further details.

Here is some source code that might help. With the appliance configured correctly, SEMP is also available over JMS on topic "#SEMP/(router)/SHOW".

You can get message VPN specific queues and topics using following SEMPv2 command.
curl -s -X GET -u semp_user:semp_pass management_host:management_port/SEMP/v2/monitor/msgVpns/{vpn-name}/queues?select="queueName"
curl -s -X GET -u semp_user:semp_pass management_host:management_port/SEMP/v2/monitor/msgVpns/{vpn-name}/topicEndpoints?select="topicEndpointName"

How to wait until processes finish Java AWS Lambda

I want to wait until my processes finish before I return my speechlet response, otherwise it seems to cut my process off and thus, not complete it, I actually believe it may freeze the process, but thats not my desire.
How do I go about waiting?
#Override
public SpeechletResponse onIntent(SpeechletRequestEnvelope<IntentRequest> requestEnvelope) {
IntentRequest request = requestEnvelope.getRequest();
Intent intent = request.getIntent();
String intentName = (intent != null) ? intent.getName() : null;
if (intentName == null) return null;
switch (intentName) {
case IntentTitle.NEW_TICKET:
switch (request.getDialogState()) {
case STARTED:
return Response.getDialogueResponse(intent, true);
case IN_PROGRESS:
return Response.getDialogueResponse(intent, false);
case COMPLETED:
String numberString = intent.getSlot(SlotTitle.ID).getValue();
if (!NumberUtils.isCreatable(numberString)) return Response.ERROR;
Member member = Info.GUILD.getMemberById(numberString);
User sender = UserDB.getUser(member);
CommissionTicket commissionTicket = new CommissionTicket(sender);
commissionTicket.create();
//wait until processes finish before continuing
return Response.NEW_TICKED_CREATED;
}
}
return null;
}
UPDATE:
Had a look at the CloudWatch logs, and well, pretty much what I expected was happening is happening... have a look at the times for these logs (I ran them 3 different times, so 3 different times are logged, but apart of the same lambda session)
public void create() {
System.out.println("log2");
GuildController guildController = Info.GUILD.getController();
guildController.createTextChannel(ticketType.name().toLowerCase() + "-" + creator.getName() + "-" + id.value()).queue(channel -> {
System.out.println("log3");
ChannelManager channelManager = channel.getManager();
GuildManager guildManager = channelManager.getGuild().getManager();
List<Member> members = guildManager.getGuild().getMembers();
List<Member> admins = new ArrayList<>();

UPDATE
Implemented the Future class, worked, but still a bit buggy.
It now completely creates the ticket, which is great, however, when I go to send the same call again, it for some reason sends a message in the same channel before preceding to create the next ticket.
So, to simulate...
Function call through AWS Lambda
Creates ticket completely
Function call through AWS Lambda again
Sends a message or two in the previous tickets channel
Creates new ticket completely

I'm not sure what's going on inside commissionTicket.create(); (I assume it's your code, not part of some library, and that it's running asynchronously somehow), but one solution would be to have that method return a Future<> object and then wait on it to finish. Something along the lines of:
Future<CommissionTicket> commissionTicketFuture = CommissionTicket.create(sender);
commissionTicketFuture.get(SOME_TIMEOUT, TimeUnit.MILLIS);
return Response.NEW_TICKET_CREATED;

Discord JDA EmbedMessage Profile Link

Currently I'm making a rather simple logging bot for Discord. All it does is send an EmbedMessage to any #log channel in the server.
This little bit of messy code:
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(MessageReceivedEvent e) {
Message message = e.getMessage();
User author = e.getAuthor();
MessageChannel channel = e.getChannel();
if (channel.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("log") && !author.isBot()) {
message.delete().queue();
} else {
EmbedBuilder eBuilder = new EmbedBuilder();
String aMention = "#" + author.getName() + "#" + author.getDiscriminator();
eBuilder.setAuthor(aMention, null, author.getEffectiveAvatarUrl());
eBuilder.setColor(Color.GRAY);
eBuilder.setFooter("#" + channel.getName(), null);
eBuilder.appendDescription(message.getContentDisplay());
MessageEmbed embed = eBuilder.build();
for (MessageChannel mc : e.getGuild().getTextChannels()) {
if (mc.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("log") && !author.isBot()) {
mc.sendMessage(embed).queue();
}
}
}
}
is the setup for logging non-bot chatting. Currently, it doesn't seem to setup a direct profile link to the user talking, in the line String aMention = "#" + author.getName() + "#" + author.getDiscriminator();. I tried searching for a specific method that gets a profile link, but currently I am not able to find it.

If you want to mention a member, just use:
Member yourMember = e.getMember();
String mention = yourMember.getAsMention();
// ...your code

Updating a table when clicking on an element from another table

I need to show elements on a table depending on the element (Person) clicked on another table. The problem is that, using a Service, if the user clicks on two elements of the first table very quickly, the data of the two elements is showed in the table, and I only want to show the data from the last one clicked. Hope you can help me.
Here is my code:
personTable.getSelectionModel().selectedItemProperty().addListener(
(observable, oldValue, newValue) -> {
try {
contactoTable.setPlaceholder(new Label("Cargando..."));
showPersonDetails(newValue);
} catch (SQLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(PersonOverviewController.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
});
And showPersonDatails:
contactoTable.setVisible(true);
contactoTable.getItems().clear();
firstNameLabel.setText(person.getFirstName());
lastNameLabel.setText(person.getLastName());
mailLabel.setText(person.getMail());
phoneLabel.setText(person.getPhone());
descriptionLabel.setText(person.getDescription());
service = new Service<Void>() {
#Override
protected Task<Void> createTask() {
return new Task<Void>() {
#Override
protected Void call() throws Exception {
//Background work
DBManager db = new DBManager();
String query = "SELECT * FROM eventos";
ResultSet r = db.executeSelect(query);
contactoTable.getItems().clear();
contactoData.clear();
while (r.next()) {
String q = "SELECT * FROM " + r.getString("Nombre").replace(" ", "_") + " WHERE Nombre = '" + person.getFirstName() + "' AND Apellidos = '" + person.getLastName() + "' AND Correo = '" + person.getMail() + "'";
ResultSet result = db.executeSelect(q);
while (result.next()) {
contactoData.add(new Row(r.getString("Nombre"), result.getString("Asistencia")));
}
}
final CountDownLatch latch = new CountDownLatch(1);
Platform.runLater(() -> {
try {
//FX Stuff done here
contactoTable.setPlaceholder(new Label("No invitado a ningún evento"));
contactoTable.setItems(contactoData);
} finally {
latch.countDown();
}
});
latch.await();
//Keep with the background work
return null;
}
};
}
};
service.start();

You are referencing the same data list (contactoData) from multiple threads, with apparently no synchronization on the list. If the user selects two different items in rapid succession, you launch a service for each one, each service running its task in a different thread. Consequently you have no control over the order the two different threads perform their (multiple) manipulations on contactoData. For example, it is possible (even probable) that the order for two services executing asynchronously is:
First service clears the list
Second service clears the list
First service adds elements to the list
Second service adds elements to the list
and in this case the list contains elements generated by both services, not just one of them.
So you should have your tasks operate on, and return, a new list they create. Then process that list on the FX Application Thread.
It's also not clear why you need a service here, as you only seem to ever use each service once. You may as well just use a task directly.
You also probably want to ensure that the last selection is the one displayed. Since the tasks are running asynchronously, it's possible that if two tasks were started in quick succession, the second would complete before the first. This would result in the second selection being displayed, and then the first selection replacing it. You can avoid this by doing the UI update in an onSucceeded handler, and canceling any current task when you start a new one (thus preventing the currently-executing task from invoking its onSucceeded handler).
Finally, it's really not clear to me why you are making the task wait until the UI is updated.
Here is an updated version of your code:
private Task<List<Row>> updateContactTableTask ;
// ...
private void showPersonDetails(Person person) {
contactoTable.getItems().clear();
firstNameLabel.setText(person.getFirstName());
lastNameLabel.setText(person.getLastName());
mailLabel.setText(person.getMail());
phoneLabel.setText(person.getPhone());
descriptionLabel.setText(person.getDescription());
if (updateContactTableTask != null && updateContactTableTask.isRunning()) {
updateContactTableTask.cancel();
}
updateContactTableTask = new Task<List<Row>>() {
#Override
protected List<Row> call() throws Exception {
List<Row> resultList = new ArrayList<>() ;
//Background work
DBManager db = new DBManager();
String query = "SELECT * FROM eventos";
ResultSet r = db.executeSelect(query);
// quit if we got canceled here...
if (isCancelled()) {
return resultList;
}
while (r.next() && ! isCancelled()) {
// Note: building a query like this is inherently unsafe
// You should use a PreparedStatement in your DBManager class instead
String q = "SELECT * FROM " + r.getString("Nombre").replace(" ", "_") + " WHERE Nombre = '" + person.getFirstName() + "' AND Apellidos = '" + person.getLastName() + "' AND Correo = '" + person.getMail() + "'";
ResultSet result = db.executeSelect(q);
while (result.next()) {
resultList.add(new Row(r.getString("Nombre"), result.getString("Asistencia")));
}
}
return resultList ;
}
};
updateContactTableTask.setOnSucceeded(e -> {
// not really clear you still need contactoData, but if you do:
contactoData.setAll(updateContactTableTask.getValue());
contactoTable.setPlaceholder(new Label("No invitado a ningún evento"));
contactoTable.setItems(contactoData);
});
updateContactTableTask.setOnFailed(e -> {
// handle database errors here...
});
new Thread(updateContactTableTask).start();
}
As an aside, it's not clear to me if, and if so, how, you are closing your database resources. E.g. the result sets never seem to get closed. This could cause resource leaks. However this is incidental to the question (and relies on knowing how your DBManager class is implemented), so I won't address it here.

Can't update a cq5 workflow to get the current state.

I'm following this tutorial to write a workflow for 3 HTML forms (without using CQ5 form component and CQ5 workflow submit button). I use this code to write Process step handling for my workflow:
public class MyProcess implements WorkflowProcess {
public void execute(WorkItem item, WorkflowSession session,
MetaDataMap map) throws WorkflowException {
boolean advanced = false;
Boolean goBack = map.get("goBack", Boolean.class);
List<Route> routes = null;
if (goBack == null || goBack == false) {
routes = session.getRoutes(item);
} else {
routes = session.getBackRoutes(item);
}
for (Route route : routes) {
LOG.info("===============================");
LOG.info("Rout name: " + route.getName());
LOG.info("Destinations: ");
for (WorkflowTransition dest: route.getDestinations()) {
LOG.info("dest: " + dest.getTo().getTitle());
}
LOG.info("===============================");
if (route.hasDefault()) {
String fromTitle = item.getNode().getTitle();
String toTitle = route.getDestinations().get(0).getTo()
.getTitle();
session.complete(item, route);
LOG.info("===============================");
LOG.info(item.getId() + " advanced from " + fromTitle
+ " to " + toTitle);
LOG.info("===============================");
advanced = true;
}
}
// fallback if no route was marked as default
if (!advanced) {
session.complete(item, routes.get(0));
String fromTitle = item.getNode().getTitle();
String toTitle = routes.get(0).getDestinations().get(0).getTo()
.getTitle();
LOG.info("===============================");
LOG.info(item.getId() + " advanced from " + fromTitle + " to "
+ toTitle);
LOG.info("===============================");
}
}
}
My question is: after i use session.complete to advance to next step, how can i refresh the workflow session to reach the current step information.

I think #yashahuja is correct. I was poking around and on the aem 'working with workflow' page I found some information about persisting data throw workflow steps using MetaDataMap.
From this page: http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/workflows/wf-extending.html
"Use workflow metadata to persist information that is required during the lifetime of the workflow. A common requirement of workflow steps is to persist data for future use in the workflow, or to retrieve the persisted data.
Workflow metadata is stored in a MetaDataMap object. The Java API provides the Workflow.getMetaDataMap method that returns the MetaDataMap object. Also, the WorkItem.getWorkflowData method returns a WorkflowData object that provides the same getMetaDataMap object.
Therefore, the workflow MetaDataMap object is available to the OSGi service or ECMA script of a step component."
example:
public void execute(WorkItem item, WorkflowSession session, MetaDataMap args) throws WorkflowException {
MetaDataMap wfd = item.getWorkflow().getMetaDataMap();
wfd.put("mykey", "My Step Value");
Set<String> keyset = wfd.keySet();
Iterator<String> i = keyset.iterator();
while (i.hasNext()){
Object key = i.next();
log.info("The workflow medata includes key {} and value {}",key.toString(),wfd.get(key).toString());
}
