ExclusiveStartKey in dynamodb paginations

i am using pagination with querySpec.withExclusiveKeyStart() as i need to give
last Evaluated Key that is given below
{bracket={N: 5895,}, logid={N: 5895,}, userid={N: 5895,}, eventiduserid={S: 1-186592,}}
I don't know how to pass this value to Exclusive Start Key in java where my other code is
querySpec.withKeyConditionExpression("eventiduserid = :v_eventid ")
.withValueMap(new ValueMap().withString(":v_eventid", "1-186592"))
.withProjectionExpression("logid, eventid, userid, lastupdated, userurl,useraction, bracket, phasenumber, userlocation, userip, client")
.withScanIndexForward(false)
.withExclusiveStartKey(result.getLastEvaluatedKey());
Here in the place of result.getLastEvaluatedKey i want to put this value
{bracket={N: 5895,}, logid={N: 5895,}, userid={N: 5895,}, eventiduserid={S: 1-186592,}}
but i don't know how to do it . i am deadly stuck in it and don't know how to solve this problem.

FreeMarker access distinct MultiMap Values per key

I want to loop over the MultiMap in Freemarker template and access(display) the key and its distinct values(which are objects in this case):
Here TaskType is a String (dont misunderstand)
multiMap.put(TaskType.DHOLDING_TASK,Obj1);
multiMap.put(TaskType.BTRADE_TASK,Obj2);
multiMap.put(TaskType.ANONE,Obj3);
multiMap.put(TaskType.DHOLDING_TASK,Obj4);
multiMap.put(TaskType.CPRICE_TASK,Obj5);
multiMap.put(TaskType.BTRADE_TASK,Obj6);
multiMap.put(TaskType.ANONE,Obj7);
multiMap.put(TaskType.CPRICE_TASK,Obj8);
The output will look like this of teh MultiMap:
{CPRICE_TASK=[Obj5, Obj8], ANONE=[Obj3, Obj7], BTRADE_TASK=[Obj2, Obj6], DHOLDING_TASK=[Obj1, Obj4]}
My freeMarker code :
<#assign taskKeys = multiMap?keys >
<#list taskKeys as key>
${key} --It works fine till here :-)
`taskList[key] or taskList[key_values]---XXX both gives exception
How to display the multivalues associated with the key here in list???
I need to access the value part o fthe pair here(i.e. the RHS) : CPRICE_TASK=[Obj5, Obj8]
A help is much appreciated :)

Thanks ddekany for the reply.. :)
However, I could find the answer, It was mistake in freemarker code..I iterate over the keys as
<#list taskList?keys as taskType>
which is fine ..After that I should be iterating over the list associated with the key (i.e the multiple values)as it is a google multimap.Like:
<#assign values = taskList?values>
<#list values[taskType_index] as task>
I guess I was missing the assign tag in my code..while accessing the values of the keys.
Hope this will help some one.

java: convert HashMap with dynamic keys to Bean

I'm trying to convert a large Map> to some JavaBean. The key of map corresponds to some property of JavaBean, and the value somehow is decoded to property value. So I decided to use some util for that, but don't know what will work. There are some requirements I have to this util (or framework):
all configuration must be in separate files
should be a possibility to map dynamic quantity of keys:
there is a map:
key | value
quan | n
key_1| value_1
key_2| value_2
........ | .............
key_n| value_n
where n - is any number
and the JavaBean has a List of some beans. They have a property. value_1, value_2, ... must be mapped in this property, and in the end there must be so much beans in list, as these keys and values in map.
3.. should be a possibility to set up custom decoder for property mapping, because in most cases the value in map is a List with 1 value, so I need to get the first item of list (if it's not empty).
4.. should be a possibility run some script to execute extraordinary mappings, for example:
there is a map, that is described in 2d point.
and the JavaBean has a property of type HashMap, where value_1 is mapped to Bean1 and some analogous value from input map is mapped to Bean2.
I've tried to use smooks, but when I've started, all these requirements were not clear yet and the smooks was something new, I haven't worked with it until now. So the smooks config doesn't contain the whole business-logic (because of second req.) and looks ugly, I don't like that. I can show the most ugliest fragment for 2d point:
<jb:bean beanId="javaBean" class="com.example.JavaBean" createOnElement="map">
<jb:wiring property="someBeans" beanIdRef="someBeanItems"/>
</jb:bean>
<jb:bean beanId="someBeanItems" class="java.util.ArrayList" createOnElement="map/entry">
<jb:wiring beanIdRef="someBeanItem"/>
</jb:bean>
<jb:bean beanId="someBeanItem" class="com.example.someBeanItem" createOnElement="map/entry">
<condition>map.quan[0]>0</condition>
<jb:expression property="property1">
index = map.quan[0]-1;
value = additionalProperties.property1_List[index];
map.quan[0] = map.quan[0] - 1;
return value;
</jb:expression>
</jb:bean>
Here "property1_List" is builded before executing smooks.
Now I look for something more nice and need your help: maybe you know how to make that better using smooks? Or what another frameworks for mapping can you recommend for my issue?

Hibernate multiple parameters setString generated Java

I'm using hibernate, and trying to do a LIKE on certain fields.
I'm splitting a string, and then generating the HQL, with
table.entry LIKE :argsearch_0 OR table.entry LIKE :argsearch_0 OR
table.entry LIKE :argsearch_1 OR table.entry LIKE :argsearch_1
(0 and 1 is in fact incremented with a counter).
But i get :
Not all named parameters have been set: [argsearch_0]
First question :
Can I used 2 named parameter and do only 1 setParameter (or setString) :
String nameParam = "argsearch_"+i;
q.setParameter(nameParam, "%"+args[i]+"%");
Second question :
Why my parameters are not working ?

Depends what you mean when you ask "Can I used 2 named parameter and do only 1 setParameter".
In your original query you have 2 named parameters ('argsearch_0' and 'argsearch_1') and each has 2 usages in the query. So you have to call set for both 'argsearch_0' and 'argsearch_1'. But you only call set once for each (actually you can call set multiple times for each parameter if you really want, but only the last once is used.
As for your second question, as someone already pointed out, its because you have a bug in your code. You are not setting the value for the 'argsearch_0' parameter.

You can Try this
**Step 1--:** Add How many parameter you need just add in hashmap
-------------------------------------------------------------------
HashMap param_List=new HashMap();
param_List.put("contactNo",22);
**Step 2--:** Just You pass your Query
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Query query1 = session.createQuery("select * from emailTemplate where c.contactNo =:contactNo");
**Step 3--:** What ever Data type is no matters but get an output.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
for(Object paramKey : param_List.keySet())
{
query1.setParameter(paramkey.toString(), param_List.get(paramKey);
}
**Step 4--:**
-------------------------------------------------------------------
String finalResult=query1.getSingleResult().toString();

retrieving the values from the nested hashmap

I have a XML file with many copies of table node structure as below:
<databasetable TblID=”123” TblName=”Department1_mailbox”>
<SelectColumns>
<Slno>dept1_slno</Slno>
<To>dept1_to</To>
<From>dept1_from</From>
<Subject>dept1_sub</Subject>
<Body>dept1_body</Body>
<BCC>dept1_BCC</BCC>
<CC>dept1_CC</CC>
</SelectColumns>
<WhereCondition>MailSentStatus=’New’</WhereCondition>
<UpdateSuccess>
<MailSentStatus>’Yes’</MailSentStatus>
<MailSentFailedReason>’Mail Sent Successfully’</MailSentFailedReason>
</UpdateSuccess>
<UpdateFailure>
<MailSentStatus>’No’</MailSentStatus>
<MailSentFailedReason>’Mail Sending Failed ’</MailSentFailedReason>
</ UpdateFailure>
</databasetable>
As it is not an efficient manner to traverse the file for each time to fetch the details of each node for the queries in the program, I used the nested hashmap concept to store the details while traversing the XML file for the first time. The structure I used is as below:
MapMaster
Key Value
123 MapDetails
Key Value
TblName Department1_mailbox
SelectColumns mapSelect
Key Value
Slno dept1_slno
To dept1_to
From dept1_from
Subject dept1_sub
Body dept1_body
BCC dept1_BCC
CC dept1_CC
WhereCondition MailSentStatus=’New’
UpdateSuccess mapUS
MailSentStatus ’Yes’
MailSentFailedReason ’Mail Sent Successfully’
UpdateFailure mapUF
MailSentStatus ’No’
MailSentFailedReason ’Mail Sending Failed’
But the problem I’m facing now is regarding retrieving the Value part using the nested Keys. For example,
If I need the value of Slno Key, I have to specify TblID, SelectColumns, Slno in nested form like:
Stirng Slno = ((HashMap)((HashMap)mapMaster.get(“123”))mapDetails.get(“SelectColumns”))mapSelect.get(“Slno”);
This is unconvinent to use in a program. Please suggest a solution but don’t tell that iterators are available. As I’ve to fetch the individual value from the map according to the need of my program.
EDIT:my program has to fetch the IDs of the department for which there is privilege to send mails and then these IDs are compared with the IDs in XML file. Only information of those IDs are fetched from XML which returned true in comparison. This is all my program. Please help.
Thanks in advance,

Never cast to specific Map implementation. Better use casting to Map interface, i.e.
((Map)one.get("foo")).get("bar")
Do not use casting in your case. You can define collection using generics, so compiler will do work for you:
Map<String, Map> one = new HashMap<String, Map>();
Map<String, Integer> two = new HashMap<String, Integer>();
Now your can say:
int n = one.get("foo").get("bar");
No casting, no problems.
But the better solution is not to use nested tables at all. Create your custom classes like SelectColumns, WhereCondition etc. Each class should have appropriate private fields, getters and setters. Now parse your XML creating instance of these classes. And then use getters to traverse the data structure.
BTW if you wish to use JAXB you do not have to do almost anything! Something like the following:
Unmarshaller u = JAXBContext.newInstance(SelectColumns.class, WhereCondition.class).createUnmarshaller();
SelectColumns[] columns = (SelectColumns[])u.unmarshal(in);

One approach to take would be to generate fully qualified keys that contain the XML path to the element or attribute. These keys would be unique, stored in a single hashmap and get you to the element quickly.
Your code would simply have to generate a unique textual representation of the path and store and retrieve the xml element based on the key.
