Vaadin-8 ComboBox click has no effect - java

I have a ComboBox in my Vaadin 8 code.
allAtts here is a Set of Attendant-s, and the field theAtt in there is of type String:
private ComboBox<Attendant> theCB = new ComboBox<Attendant>(null,allAtts);
theCB.setEmptySelectionAllowed(false);
Binder<SearchArgs> binder = new Binder<SearchArgs>(SearchArgs.class);
binder.setBean(sas);
binder.forField(theCB).bind("theAtt");
..
VerticalLayout vl = new VerticalLayout(theCB, rb, deleteBtn);
What's more - this exact flow of theCB is a copy-paste from another class i wrote, on the very same type Attendant.
The problem here is the drop-down click on theCB is not working. That is, clicking that little chevron-down icon on the ComboBox is producing no effect. What could this be!?
I tried removing the other items, rb, deleteBtn in vl. Still didn't work.
Nothing else happening to theCB anywhere else.
TIA.
EDIT:
theCB is otherwise functional. typing in the field is allowed, brings the choices and returns the selection accurately.
EDIT-2
https://github.com/vaadin/vaadin-combo-box/issues/680 is not the issue. nothing changing when i pass a non-null label value to the constructor. Besides, it's working fine with null label in that other place in the code.
EDIT-3
Attendant contains several fields, one of which is String att.
SearchArgs composes Attendant in a its field theAtt. Attendant.toString() returns att only.
Once again - this exact same logic is working, as i'm typing these, in another part in the code.
Also note: i since also tried the following without success:
binding theCB on a separate binder, i.e. declare a second binder on sas and use that one for binding theCB
cloning the Attendant objects that go into theCB as data-provider.

How to correct a display problem when inserting a row in a JavaFX grid?

I want to insert a new JavaFX bean in a grid using an "insert" button. Everything is fine, except for a display problem. After insertion, a "ghost selection" is displayed lower in the grid, as shown in this screenshot. In this example, a fourth section bean was added and selected as requested. But a fake selection appears 10 lines under the last real bean, where no bean is set for this row.
Has anyone experienced this kind of behavior? Any clue how get rid of this ghost selection? Here is what the code for the insert button looks like:
#FXML
private Button insert;
...
insert.setOnAction(event -> {
JfxBean newBean = createBean();
tableView.getItems().add(newBean);
int index = tableView.getItems().indexOf(newBean);
tableView.getSelectionModel().clearSelection();
tableView.requestFocus();
tableView.scrollTo(index);
tableView.getSelectionModel().focus(index);
tableView.getSelectionModel().select(index);
};
According to javaFX-8 documentation, SelectionModel.java does not expose any focus() method. FocusModel.java does instead. Therefore JVM will fail to compile your presented code.
Below is a possible solution:
insert.setOnAction(event -> {
JfxBean newBean = createBean();
tableView.getItems().add(newBean);
int index = tableView.getItems().indexOf(newBean);
tableView.getSelectionModel().clearSelection();
tableView.requestFocus();
tableView.scrollTo(index);
// below line is the amendment
tableView.getFocusModel().focus(index);
tableView.getSelectionModel().select(index);
};
Finally, adding tableView.refresh() corrected this weird behavior. No more ghost selection.

System.out.println() always display class not value

how to display value of content in object in Java? I always get something like: org.springframework.ws.soap.security.xwss.XwsSecurityInterceptor#1a28aef12019-10-13
#Bean
public XwsSecurityInterceptor securityInterceptor() {
XwsSecurityInterceptor securityInterceptor = new XwsSecurityInterceptor();
securityInterceptor.setPolicyConfiguration(new ClassPathResource("securityPolicy.xml"));
securityInterceptor.setCallbackHandler(callback());
System.out.print("toStringBean: "+securityInterceptor.toString());
//Security Policy -> securityPolicy.xml
return securityInterceptor;
}
I read that I should use toString() but I get same result. I just need value of properties inside object :)
You cannot read the properties of XwsSecurityInterceptor using toString method as it is not overridden in the class from Object class.If you want to see the value you better put a debug point in the class and inspect the values and run the application in Debug mode.
For Debug in intellij.
click on the bug button in below screenshot. For adding the dubug point just single click on line number. then a red dot appears on the line number. When you run the application. You can see execution stops at the point. Then right click on the variable and select Evaluate Expression and a popup opens. Just click on the evaluate button in the popup and you can see the different value of objects present in the class.

GWT Hyperlink strange behavior - redirecting to http://localhost:8080/#

Okay, this is very strange.
All I am having is a Hyperlink in my menu:
Hyperlink eventCalendar= new Hyperlink("Eventkalender", "eventCalendar=" + store.getId());
and I am listening to the ValueChangeEvent in the MainViewPresenter. Please notice that I am not doing anything. Right before the creation of the listener I am setting a SimplePanel to be the display for the ActivityManager:
App.activityManager.setDisplay(this.mainView.getMainContentContainer());
History.addValueChangeHandler(new ValueChangeHandler<String>() {
#Override
public void onValueChange(ValueChangeEvent<String> event) {
String historyToken = event.getValue();
GWT.log("onValueChange() historyToken " + historyToken);
}
});
But if I click the link what happens is this:
First, for the blink of an eye I can see the browser URL change to
http://localhost:8080/#eventCalendar=1
but it changes immediately back to
http://localhost:8080/#
which causes my landing page to get loaded inside the SimplePanel which I declared as display (see above).
Does anybody have an idea what could cause this behavior because this does not make sense to me? Why does the URL get changed again? Am I using History or Hyperlink wrong?
Most probably your PlaceHistoryMapper returns null for the eventCalendar=1 token, so it's replaced with the default place you gave to the PlaceHistoryHandler. If you're using GWT.create() based on PlaceTokenizers, with a factory and/or #WithTokenizers, that means either you don't have a PlaceTokenizer for the empty-string prefix (#Prefix("")), or that one tokenizer returns null.
That being said, you probably should rather try to use places directly rather than going through the history. That means using a ClickHandler on some widget and calling PlaceController#goTo with the appropriate place. Ideally, that widget would be an Anchor whose href is computed from the result of getToken from your PlaceHistoryMapper with the given place (how the href actually looks depends on your Historian; if you stick to the default behavior, then just prepend a # to the returned token).

How to use Nebula NatTable's PreserveSelectionModel?

I am developing an RCP Application, and am using Nebula's NatTable for that.
When it comes to selection, I am failing to understand how I am supposed to use it.
What I want is:
I want to have entire Rows selected. I was able do that using the RowOnlySelectionConfiguration and the RowOnlySelectionBindings.
If I select a row, I want the selection to stay there and not be cleared when some data in that row gets updated. How do I do that?
If a row is selected, and the position of the element in that row changes (e.g. one of the previous elements is removed, and the position changes to index - 1), I want the selection to change the position with the element, so that the same element is selected after the change. How do I do that?
I have seen that the documentation talks about a PreserveSelectionModel that can be used for that:
If you used the PreserveSelectionStructuralChangeEventHandler workaround in previous versions for not clearing the selection on structural changes, you will notice that this workaround will not work anymore. If you still need that behavior, you are now able to achieve the same by configuring and setting a SelectionModel instance like this:
SelectionModel model = new SelectionModel(selectionLayer);
// configure to not clear the selection on structural changes
model.setClearSelectionOnChange(false);
selectionLayer.setSelectionModel(model);
If you expect that the selection should update and move with structural changes (e.g. sorting), try to use the PreserveSelectionModel.
https://www.eclipse.org/nattable/nandn/nandn_120.php
So I guess I have to use the PreserveSelectionModel? But there I can't call setClearSelectionOnChange(false). Does it do that by default?
And how do I use the PreserveSelectionModel? What do I pass in the constructor?
I implement my own BodyLayerStack, in a class called TableBodyLayerStack, where I tried this in the constructor:
public TableBodyLayerStack(IUniqueIndexLayer underlyingLayer) {
super(underlyingLayer);
columnReorderLayer = new ColumnReorderLayer(underlyingLayer);
columnHideShowLayer = new ColumnHideShowLayer(columnReorderLayer);
selectionLayer = new SelectionLayer(columnHideShowLayer, null, true, false);
PreserveSelectionModel<?> selectionModel = new PreserveSelectionModel<>(
selectionLayer, null, null);
selectionLayer.setSelectionModel(selectionModel);
selectionLayer.registerEventHandler(new SelectEventHandler(selectionLayer));
viewportLayer = new ViewportLayer(selectionLayer);
setUnderlyingLayer(viewportLayer);
registerCommandHandler(new CopyDataCommandHandler(selectionLayer));
}
Then, in the contructor of my implementation of the GridLayer, I do this:
// ...
bodyLayer = new TableBodyLayerStack(eventLayer);
// register different selection move command handler that always moves by row
bodyLayer.getSelectionLayer().addConfiguration(new RowOnlySelectionConfiguration<T>());
// register selection bindings that will perform row selections instead of cell selections
// registering the bindings on a layer that is above the SelectionLayer will consume the
// commands before they are handled by the SelectionLayer
bodyLayer.addConfiguration(new RowOnlySelectionBindings());
// ...
But this is giving me NullPointerExceptions in the PreserveSelectionModel.

I guess it is because I pass null values in the constructor of my PreserveSelectionModel. But how do I use it instead? What do I have to pass as arguments for the constructor? Where do I get the values from?
Any help is appreciated.
you are on the wrong track to achieve your goals. First I will answer your questions:
So I guess I have to use the PreserveSelectionModel?
No, the PreserveSelectionModel is intended to preserve the selection for cell selections. You want to preserve the selection for whole rows. So you need to use the RowSelectionModel.
But there I can't call setClearSelectionOnChange(false). Does it do that by default?
Yes
But this is giving me NullPointerExceptions in the PreserveSelectionModel. I guess it is because I pass null values in the constructor of my PreserveSelectionModel.
Yes
What do I have to pass as arguments for the constructor? Where do I get the values from?
The second parameter is IRowDataProvider<T>, so it is the IDataProvider for the body.
The third parameter is IRowIdAccessor<T>. You need to create an implementation that provides an unique id, so a row can be identified without knowing the position or index in the underlying collection.
So what you need to do is something like this:
selectionLayer.setSelectionModel(new RowSelectionModel<Person>(
selectionLayer, bodyDataProvider, new IRowIdAccessor<Person>() {
#Override
public Serializable getRowId(Person rowObject) {
return rowObject.getId();
}
}));
But of course you need to provide the IDataProvider and also the IRowIdAccessor to your TableBodyLayerStack if you want to keep it generic.
Also note that you don't have to call SelectionLayer#registerEventHandler() yourself! This is done internally by calling SelectionLayer#setSelectionModel().
You can find several examples in the NatTable Examples Application at https://www.eclipse.org/nattable/ (the Try it! button on the right side).
For your question the Tutorial Examples -> Layers -> Selection -> RowSelectionExample seems to be the one to look at.

Remove page reference from annotation

I added a textfield with several kids similar as described here. Did that to use the autofill functionality of PDF...
Now my question is how am I able to remove the page reference from the parent element? The data field should not contain a parent reference since it is not related to any page. The widgets should contain those (which I added there however I can't remove the parent /P page reference)
I tried
PdfFormField parent = PdfFormField.createTextField(stamper.getWriter(), false, false, 0);
parent.setFieldName(fieldName);
for (int page = 1; page <= pages; page++) {
TextField textField = new TextField(stamper.getWriter(), new Rectangle(560, 600, 590, 800), null);
PdfFormField pff = textField.getTextField();
parent.addKid(pff);
// add widget to each page
pff.setPlaceInPage(page);
//iText workarounds
field.put(PdfName.P, stamper.getWriter().getPageReference(page));
field.remove(PdfName.FF);
field.remove(PdfName.FT);
}
//in addAnnotation() the page reference is written
stamper.addAnnotation(parent, 1);
//does not work
parent.remove(PdfName.P);
however it didn't work since I guess the page reference is already written. Is there a way to remove it afterwards?
Fact 1:
The PdfFormField class extends the PdfAnnotation class, because most of the times, it is possible to merge a field dictionary with an annotation dictionary.
In your case, you have a PdfFormField that is used as a hierarchical element and although that element is also an instance of PdfAnnotation, it isn't. You can check this by using the isAnnotation() method. It will return false.
Fact 2:
When you add an annotation to an existing PDF, you have to use PdfStamper's addAnnotation() method that not only accepts an annotation object, but also a page number. If you didn't add a page number, PdfStamper wouldn't know where to add the annotation.
When you add a real annotation, PdfStamper will add a /P key that refers to the page where the annotations is visualized.
Fact 3:
There is no other way than using addAnnotation() with an annotation and a page number when working with PdfStamper. When you add a PdfFormField object that is not a real annotation, it won't be treated differently, hence a /P entry will be added, although that doesn't really make sense (as you rightly point out in your question).
Fact 4:
The /P entry is optional. For the widget annotations to be displayed correctly, it is sufficient that they appear in the /Annots of a page.
Conclusion:
iText shouldn't add a /P entry in case you add a PdfFormField that is not a real annotation. Hence I have committed the following change: revision 6756
void addAnnotation(PdfAnnotation annot, int page) {
- annot.setPage(page);
+ if (annot.isAnnotation())
+ annot.setPage(page);
addAnnotation(annot, reader.getPageN(page));
}
I have tested this with the AddFieldAndKids example and it seems to work: the /P entry is no longer added.
This solves your problem in a more robust way. You shouldn't try to remove something that shouldn't have been added in the first place.
