How can I access the text of the SMS sent thru Twilio to my Spring Boot Controller?

I'm trying to use Twilio to receive SMS messages, and use the body of the SMS to perform various DB functions. The part where I'm stuck is parsing the message that I get from Twilio when they receive a text message.
Here's the controller:
#RequestMapping(
value = "/incomingSMS",
method = RequestMethod.POST)
public void getPhrase(#RequestBody String request) {
System.out.println("***********************************");
System.out.println(request);
System.out.println("***********************************");
}
And here's what is getting printed out (with new lines added for readability, and some numbers censored.):
ToCountry=US&
ToState=statecode&
SmsMessageSid=smsMessageSid&
NumMedia=0&
ToCity=city&
FromZip=zipCode&
SmsSid=SmsSid&
FromState=statecode&
SmsStatus=received&
FromCity=city&
Body=Hello+it%27s+John+&
FromCountry=US&
To=%2B1toPhoneNumber&
ToZip=55401&
NumSegments=1&
MessageSid=messageSid&
AccountSid=accountSid&
From=%2B1fromPhoneNumber&
ApiVersion=2010-04-01
I can see in "Body" my message is hiding. I also see the phone number. Is there any way I can just parse this into a Twilio object that I don't know about, so I can use methods like getBody(), getFrom()?

You can easily manipulate it by using the good old java.util.Properties class.
For the example bellow, I'm using the Apache Common IO lib to transform the String into an InputStream witch is required by Properties class. After that, all you have to do is use getProperty method to get what you need.
package com.pipocandobits.maven;
import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Properties;
public class App {
public static void main( String[] args ) throws IOException {
System.out.println( "Hello World!" );
String source = "ToCountry=US&\n" +
"ToState=statecode&\n" +
"SmsMessageSid=smsMessageSid&\n" +
"NumMedia=0&\n" +
"ToCity=city&\n" +
"FromZip=zipCode&\n" +
"SmsSid=SmsSid&\n" +
"FromState=statecode&\n" +
"SmsStatus=received&\n" +
"FromCity=city&\n" +
"Body=Hello+it%27s+John+&\n" +
"FromCountry=US&\n" +
"To=%2B1toPhoneNumber&\n" +
"ToZip=55401&\n" +
"NumSegments=1&\n" +
"MessageSid=messageSid&\n" +
"AccountSid=accountSid&\n" +
"From=%2B1fromPhoneNumber&\n" +
"ApiVersion=2010-04-01";
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.load(IOUtils.toInputStream(source, "UTF-8"));
System.out.println("Message body = " + properties.getProperty("Body"));
}
}

Attaching xml file to mimeentity crashes Notes server

In an Java agent I generate a mail. When I send this only with text then the mail is sent to the recipient. I also want to attach an xml file to the mail. If I attach it my notes server crashes.
I think my code is wrong, this is the part where I want to add the attachment to the mail:
mime = mimeRoot.createChildEntity();
MIMEHeader hdr = mime.createHeader("Content-Disposition");
hdr.setHeaderValAndParams("attachment; filename=" + OrderFilePath);
Stream stream = session.createStream();
System.out.println("Open stream");
//AT THIS IF IT WILL CRASH THE SERVER
if (stream.open(OrderFilePath, "binary")){
System.out.println("in eerste if");
if (stream.getBytes() != 0) {
System.out.println("getbytes !0 ");
mime.setContentFromBytes(stream, "application/octet-stream",MIMEEntity.ENC_IDENTITY_BINARY);
}
else System.out.println
(OrderFilePath + "has no content or is not working");
}

I have some working LotusScript code that does almost the same, with the exception of two lines:
hdr.setHeaderValAndParams("attachment; filename=\\"" + OrderFilePath + "\\"");
and
mime.setContentFromBytes(stream, "application/octet-stream; name=\\"" + OrderFilePath + "\\"",MIMEEntity.ENC_IDENTITY_BINARY);
My LS code, so yo can see for yourself:
ForAll att In attachments
disposition= "attachment"
If att.isInLine Then disposition= "inline"
Set sect = body.createChildEntity()
Call sect.CreateHeader("Content-Disposition").SetHeaderValAndParams(disposition + {; filename="} & att.attName & {";"} )
Call sect.CreateHeader("Content-ID").SetHeaderVal( |<| & ListTag(att) & |>| )
Set stream = session.CreateStream
If stream.Open(att.attFile) Then
Call sect.SetContentFromBytes(stream, strContentType & {; name="} & att.attName & {"}, ENC_IDENTITY_BINARY)
Call stream.Close
End If
End Forall
attachments is a list of Attachment objects that contain only the name and the filepath of an attachment; it isn't a full Notes attachment embedded object thing.

Download csv file from link with java

I'm creating a csv file with data saved to it. The next thing i wanna do is that any person can download that file from a link in a HTML page.
The problem is I've never worked before with Java and I've searched for some good options but non of them seems to work. I hope any one can help me with this.
This is how is save to my CSV file
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
public class Logbook {
public Logbook() {
super();
}
/**
* #param date
* #param memoryMax
* #param memoryCommitted
* #param memoryUsed
* #param JvmUpTimeH
* #param JvmUpTimeD
* #param JvmUpTimeM
* #param JvmUpTimeS
*/
public void writeLog(String date, Long memoryMax, Long memoryCommitted, Long memoryUsed, String TotalTime) {
File Logbook = new File("C:/Logbook/Logbook.csv");
try (PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(Logbook, true)))) {
out.println(date + " , " + memoryMax + " b" + " , " + memoryCommitted + " b" + " , " + memoryUsed + " b" + " , " + TotalTime);
} catch (IOException e) {
// exception handling left as an exercise for the reader
}
}
}
After this I have a new page were it refreshes the page every sec my code to write it in the file is here
Long memoryUsed=agent.readMemoryUsed();
Long memoryCommitted=agent.readMemoryCommitted();
Long memoryMax=agent.readMemoryMax();
Date today2 = new Date();
SimpleDateFormat savedLog = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/YY kk:mm:ss");
String date = savedLog.format(today2);
Logbook logBook = new Logbook();
logBook.writeLog(date, memoryMax,memoryCommitted,memoryUsed, TotalTime);
All I want now is to download the file with that information into it for any person that wanna download it.

Probably the easiest way to address this is to write the file to a location under your web server's file directory. You can serve this file statically - you don't need it to go through a webapp to provide it.
You don't mention what web server you're using, or even if you're using an application server on top of it, so we really can't help you that much more. If your question is actually about how to setup a web server - that gets beyond the scope of StackOverflow.

Protocol message contained an invalid tag (zero)

I'm working with pbf files from the open street maps
I want to parse node, relations, and ways.
when I try to parse nodes I get that message.
The code looks like
package myCode;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;
import protpbufCode.OsmPbf;
import protpbufCode.OsmPbf.Node;
import protpbufCode.OsmPbf.PrimitiveGroup;
public class ReadingPBF
{
public static void print(PrimitiveGroup node)
{
for (Node m: node.getNodesList())
{
System.out.print("Person ID: " + m.getId() + " ");
System.out.print(" Lat: " + m.getLat()+ " ");
System.out.print(" Long: "+ m.getLon()+ " ");
System.out.println("");
}
}
public static void main (String args[])
{
try
{
PrimitiveGroup newNode = PrimitiveGroup.parseFrom(new FileInputStream(new File("isle.pbf")));
print(newNode);
}
catch (IOException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
System.out.println(e.getCause());
}
}
}
the OsmPbf is java class that created using the protobuf compiler.
and that what gets printed.

OpenStreetMap .pbf files are not simple protobufs. See the documentation here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/PBF_Format
Under the section "File format", you'll see this:
The format is a repeating sequence of:
int4: length of the BlobHeader message in network byte order
serialized BlobHeader message
serialized Blob message (size is given in the header)
That is, the file starts out with a 4-byte integer before the first protobuf message. Since this integer is probably smaller than 2^24, the first byte will of course be zero, which explains the exact exception you are seeing.
You will need to read this 4-byte value manually, then make sure to read only that many bytes and parse them as a BlobHeader, and so on.
Personally I'd recommend looking for a PBF decoder library that already handles this for you. There must be a few out there.

Creating a UTF-8 File in Java

I'm currently making a program that saves Chinese Words onto a text file. I create the text file in java, and then try and write words to it. However, the text file I create is never encoded in UTF-8. This is the code I'm using, why doesn't it work? I was told that there was a bug inherent in Java but I have no idea how to get around it.
public void createFile(String name) {
try {
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(
new FileOutputStream(name +".txt"), "UTF-8"));
out.write("");
}
catch(java.io.IOException e) {
System.err.println("Something went wrong.");
}
}
Also, do I have another option aside from text files with which I could still use UTF encoding?
Also I'm testing its encoding by opening the TextEdit application and trying to write Chinese characters. Could this also be a problem?

First, files themselves don't have encodings. They're a bunch of 0s and 1s. If you write "asdf" in utf-8, it's completely indistinguishable from plain old ascii7.
If you were writing in, say, utf-16, then the byte-order mark (BOM) would be a pretty clear indication that it's written in utf-16, even with an empty string, but utf-8 does not require such a marker to be present.
Therefore, your editor has no way of knowing that this file is supposed to be written in utf-8. You could write utf-8's BOM to your file by:
out.write(0xEFBBBF);
However, in this case, outwould have to be an OutputStream, such as the FileOutputStream. (BufferedWriter and OutputStreamWriter do not accept byte arrays for input.)

This may be a TextEdit usage issue.
If there are no non-ASCII characters in the file you're writing, TextEdit's algorithm to determine encoding will likely land on ASCII or a Latin-1 variant.
You can specify a text file's encoding in the File->Open dialog. I'm not sure whether TextEdit remembers this decision on future double-clicks of this file.

Try the following code. It worked for me. The file was written out as UTF-8. I was able to open it with Notepad++, which verified that the encoding was UTF-8. The characters encoded correctly. I got the characters from http://www.khngai.com/chinese/charmap/tbluni.php.

Try UTF-8 instead of UTF8. This might solve your problem.

I noticed that you didn't close your stream:
out.close();
Of course you didn't include the code that wrote the actual characters either...
