The requirement is very simple. Let's say I have a model Book, with the properties:
author (string)
views (integer)
code (string)
Let's say I have code property, which is a String. I would like to keep this code property protected and not expose it in most of my API Methods. However, only in 2 API Methods, I would like to return the books, with the code property viewable.
The question in short is. How can you achieve this in google cloud endpoints (java), where I would like to omit specific properties from model in response, conditionally (According to API Method being called).
Anything that points me in the direction would be appreciated. For some reason I'm just unable to find this information in google docs, nor searching in google.
I thought of few solutions, but none elegant enough. For example, I could do kind of a transformer, which loops over models returned and set properties I wanna hide to null for example, but I feel like there's a more elegant solution that I'm missing.
Thank you in advance.
Here are a few options, but they might not be elegant enough:
Have one class per subset of properties (bonus: statically enforces that the properties won't appear)
Set properties you don't want to expose to null in each API
I don't think transformers work for you, as they are API-wide.

We have a rather large application, with a great deal of dynamic content. Is there anyway to force struts to use a database for the i18n lookups, instead of properties files?
I'd be open for other ways to solve this as well, if anyone has ever done i18n with dynamic content.
I don't know of an easy plug-and-play solution for this, so you will probably have to implement it yourself -- plan on spending quite a bit of time just coming to grips with how the localization features of struts 2 (and XWork) are implemented. The key will probably be to provide your own implementation of com.opensymphony.xwork2.TextProvider (and tell struts to use it by providing a <bean> tag in struts.xml). I can think of at least two ways of fitting this into the overall architecture:
Have your TextProvider implementation access the database directly. In the spirit of YAGNI, this is probably the best way to start (you can always refactor later, if necessary).
Alternatively, you could place the database code into an implementation of Java's ResourceBundle interface, which is what XWork uses internally. To me this sounds like an even more design-heavy approach, but on the plus side there are some articles around describing how to do this.
No, there is no built-in way to have Struts2 load localized content from a database. You would need to write that yourself.
What are your requirements? Do you need for users to be able to dynamically change field prompts, error messages, etc.?
You may be able to do something like that by building a custom interceptor. You could have the interceptor read all the key value pairs from your database and inject them into the value stack. The only thing I am not sure about, not really having messed with i18n with struts before, is if the i18n stuff pulls that information from the value stack. If not, I am not sure if maybe you could do something else in the interceptor to load up the information.
Building a custom interceptor is not too terribly complicated. There are plenty of tutorial sites out there, including (brace for self promotion here) my blog: http://ddubbya.blogspot.com/2011/01/creating-custom-struts2-interceptors.html.
Use properties files just for static content, like labels, messages etc.
For dynamic content start with a database table that includes a language-code-id for every language you want to use. All the dynamic content entries that are already translated go with their respective language-code-id added to their primary key. If a translation is missing, you can program your application to fall back to your default language in order to make things easier until the right translation is present.
Let your users provide their contributions in the language they like and store it with the appropriate language-id. Someone should provide the translation to the other languages in order to make the contribution complete.

I need a custom definition of ServiceNow for my business. For which, I'll have to configure many tables like Incident, CIs to name a few, then the views, forms etc. I am aware that it can be done through UI provided at our instance. But doing it through a program which can configure our definition on a fresh instance in one go will be a challenge.
But I think it should be possible, to give you a scenario here's what I might be doing..
-- I need to create new views on a table, new fields on that view, adding dependent fields, new choices in the choice list for a choice field and the list goes on...
Is there any way to do it in Java? maybe using JSON Web services provided by ServiceNow?
Or is there any API in java which can simplify the work, like the one for BMC Remedy?
I understand that it is a big task, please let me know if there is any other way to do it.
PS: I am familiar with the JSON web service API available for ServiceNow.
I agree with Joey. It sounds like a vanilla use case for Update Sets.
I have restricted some pages like admin pages from not getting visible in search results.Using the below code
map.put("group.1_group.1_property","**jcr:content/cq:template**");
map.put("group.1_group.1_property.1_value","**/apps/MyApp/templates/SampleTemplate**");
map.put("group.1_group.1_property.and","true");
map.put("group.1_group.1_property.operation","unequals");
final Query finalQuery = builder.createQuery(PredicateGroup.create(map),
session);
which means it is template specific search filtration,means that Im telling the query builder not to display those pages having the above specified template .However the drawback is that, in future if we want to restrict more pages, those pages also must be mapped to the above template. So instead of specifying the template in the map, can we put any other property in the map, so that search restriction is not template specific.
Thanks,
Balaji
What other properties do your pages have available (specifically, the admin pages)? For example, if you have a specific property that you add to your admin pages, or other pages that you could sort on, that could work. On one site I worked on, we had a property we put into certain content items called hideInNav. So along those lines, this is how I would do it:
map.put("group.1_group.1_property","jcr:content/hideInNav");
map.put("group.1_group.1_property.1_value","/content/somepath/you/want");
map.put("group.1_group.1_property.and","true");
map.put("group.1_group.1_property.operation","unequals");
I hope that helps to make sense of it. Am I understanding it correctly? If not, please clarify and I'll try to help more.
---------------EDIT-----------------------
If you don't have a custom property, but you know the path these pages are located, and maybe a default property they all have in common (like a jcr:title), you could try doing that instead. Like this:
map.put(1_group.0_path","/content/yoursite");
map.put(2_group.0_type","cq:Page");
map.put(3_group.fulltext","test text");
map.put(3_group.fulltext.relPath","jcr:content/#jcr:title");
You can see how this would run on a local query debugger when you have CQ running:
http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/search/content/querydebug.html?_charset_=UTF-8&query=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A4502%2Fcontent%2Fsalesportal%2Fen%2Fmobile%2Fresources.assets.get.json%3Fp.limit%3D7%0D%0A1_group.0_path%3D%2Fcontent%2Fyoursite%0D%0A2_group.0_type%3Dcq%3APage%0D%0A3_group.fulltext%3Dtest+text%0D%0A3_group.fulltext.relPath%3Djcr%3Acontent%2F%40jcr%3Atitle
Hopefully that's more helpful.
EDIT #2
This is a summary of both my answers, and will hopefully answer your last comment as well.
In order to more fully answer your question (since you're still not quite getting what you want), I dug a little deeper to find the information you need. Just as a reference, any time you're doing XPath querying, this is a great tool to look at: JCR Query Usecases - jboss
Anyway, you said that you were getting results that didn't include items that were missing the 'hideInNav' property. Here is how you can get those results, specifically:
map.put("1_group.0_path","/content/yoursite");
map.put("2_group.0_type","cq:Page");
map.put("3_group.1_property","jcr:content/hideInNav");
map.put("3_group.1_property.1_value","not");
map.put("3_group.1_property.operation","not");
This way, you're searching in the path you want, getting the type of result you want (cq:Page, if that is what you're actually looking for), and you're getting the results that DO NOT HAVE the property 'hideInNav'.
Consider the page below. As in the image I have attached.
Now my problem is that I have multiple clients accessing the same page as given below. Now consider that each client has their own requirement such as:-
Name is mandatory for some clients not for others.
Age is mandatory for some clients but not for others along with some specific validations like age<20 or age>30 etc.
Search is also optional depending upon the clients.
Now I am searching for any such tools or technologies or methods that could help me to sort out the issue of dynamically validating the fields as well as hiding and showing the fields depending upon my clients. Please let me know any tools or technologies that can help in order to solve the above problem. I also heard about rule engine and templating .... Is it possible to work together with it to achieve the same. Please suggest.
I have no idea why hibernate-validator would not work here. You implement the validation as you want, by implementing an interface and creating your own validation annotations if needed. This is a server-side validation btw.
Showing or not some content in case of JSP is done with conditional :
c:when/c:choose
for example, assuming it's JSP you are using.
