unable to redirect response in rest controller

I made two RestController apis. On response of second api I wanted first api's response (which is a json response), so I tried to use HttpServletResponse.redirect. I also set required content type to it. But on second api response I got Unsupported Media Type Content type 'null' not supported.
first API
#GetMapping(value="checkStatus/{msisdn}",consumes=MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
public ResponseEntity<CoreResponseHandler> fetchOcsByDate2(#PathVariable(value="msisdn",required=true)String msisdn){
long l_time_start = System.currentTimeMillis();
List<Object[]> list = repository.getSingleCallDetail(msisdn);
if(list==null || list.size()==0) {
System.out.println("NO RECORD FOUND");
}
JSONObject objMain = new JSONObject();
for(Object[] objArr: list) {
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
String msisdn_ = objArr[0]==null?null:objArr[0].toString();
String songId = objArr[1]==null?null:objArr[1].toString();
String songName = objArr[2]==null?null:objArr[2].toString();
String status = objArr[3]==null?null:objArr[3].toString();
String lang = objArr[4]==null?null:objArr[4].toString();
String startDate = objArr[5]==null?null:objArr[5].toString();
objMain.put("status", status);
objMain.put("language", lang);
obj.put("id", songId);
obj.put("msisdn", msisdn);
obj.put("songName", songName);
objMain.put("subscription", obj);
}
long l_time_end = System.currentTimeMillis();
long l_diff = l_time_end-l_time_start;
if(list!=null && list.size()>0) {
return new ResponseEntity<CoreResponseHandler>(new SuccessResponseBeanRefined(HttpStatus.OK, ResponseStatusEnum.SUCCESSFUL, ApplicationResponse.SUCCESSFUL, objMain,l_diff+" ms"),HttpStatus.OK);
}
if(list==null || list.size()==0) {
return new ResponseEntity<CoreResponseHandler>(new SuccessResponseBeanRefined(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND, ResponseStatusEnum.FAILED, ApplicationResponse.Failed, "not found",l_diff+" ms"),HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND);
}
return new ResponseEntity<CoreResponseHandler>(new SuccessResponseBeanRefined(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST, ResponseStatusEnum.FAILED, ApplicationResponse.Failed," > Bad request",l_diff+" ms"),HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST);
}
no problem in output. ran smooth
second API
#GetMapping(value="verifyOtp/{msisdn}/{otp}",consumes=MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
public void verifyOtp(#PathVariable(value="msisdn",required=true)String msisdn,
#PathVariable(value="otp",required=true)String otp,HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception{
long l_time_start = System.currentTimeMillis();
long l_time_end = System.currentTimeMillis();
long l_diff = l_time_end-l_time_start;
List<Object[]> list = repository.verifyOtp(msisdn,otp);
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
if(list!=null && list.size()>0) {
for(Object[] obj:list) {
String strDate = obj[3]==null?null:obj[3].toString();
Date dtDb = sdf.parse(strDate);
Date dtNow = new Date();
String strDtNow = sdf.format(dtNow);
dtNow = sdf.parse(strDtNow);
long ldtDb = dtDb.getTime();
long ldtNow = dtNow.getTime();
if(ldtDb>ldtNow) {
System.out.println("success within time");
int ii = repository.updateIsActive(msisdn);
response.setContentType("application/json");
response.sendRedirect("http://localhost:9393/crbt/api/subscriber/ivr/checkStatus/"+msisdn);
}
else {
System.out.println("failure time over!");
}
}
}
else {
}
}
second Api Response in postman
What I expected was first API's response. But its giving me some 415 content type error
How can I get first API's success json response from second api's response.. I even tried org.springframework.http.HttpHeaders but couldn't get desired output. What changes I had to do in order to get first Api's response in my second api response.

I have a strange feeling answering your questions, because I dislike the solution I'll provided. But it might help, so I'll give a try.
Basically, your Controller are just Spring beans, which means you can do is having a dependency, and second controller will call first controller. This will also change your method verifyOtp to make it change the return type.
Something like that:
...
#Autowired
private FirstController firstController;
...
#GetMapping(value="verifyOtp/{msisdn}/{otp}",consumes=MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
public ResponseEntity<CoreResponseHandler> verifyOtp(#PathVariable(value="msisdn",required=true)String msisdn,
#PathVariable(value="otp",required=true)String otp,HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception{
long l_time_start = System.currentTimeMillis();
long l_time_end = System.currentTimeMillis();
long l_diff = l_time_end-l_time_start;
List<Object[]> list = repository.verifyOtp(msisdn,otp);
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
if(list!=null && list.size()>0) {
for(Object[] obj:list) {
String strDate = obj[3]==null?null:obj[3].toString();
Date dtDb = sdf.parse(strDate);
Date dtNow = new Date();
String strDtNow = sdf.format(dtNow);
dtNow = sdf.parse(strDtNow);
long ldtDb = dtDb.getTime();
long ldtNow = dtNow.getTime();
if(ldtDb>ldtNow) {
System.out.println("success within time");
int ii = repository.updateIsActive(msisdn);
return firstController.fetchOcsByDate2(msidn);
}
else {
System.out.println("failure time over!");
return null;
}
}
}
else {
return null;
}
}
I think you are trying to achieve something uncommon, and to avoid having this dependency between controller, consider:
Change your use case. Make the second controller returning a HttpStatus.OK, and make the client do the next call to the first controller
Create a service in charge of loading the msidn, which will avoid duplicate code, and keep you in a more standard position to make our evolutions.

The issue occurred due to GetMapping .
#GetMapping(value="checkStatus/{msisdn}",consumes=MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
replace with below in first Api:
#GetMapping(value="checkStatus/{msisdn}")

Command manager procedure in MicroStrategy not converting to date

I am running below command manager procedure in Microstrategy but it does not convert the string into date, tried lot of options. Can someone please assist?
*********** PROCEDURE***************************************
String sQuery = "LIST ALL SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR SCHEDULE \"" + sScheduleName + "\" FOR PROJECT \"" + projectName + "\";";
ResultSet oSubs=executeCapture(sQuery);
oSubs.moveFirst();
while(!oSubs.isEof()){
String sSubsName = oSubs.getFieldValueString(DisplayPropertyEnum.GUID);
ResultSet RecList = executeCapture("LIST ALL PROPERTIES FOR SUBSCRIPTION GUID " +sSubsName+ " FOR PROJECT \"projectname\";");
RecList.moveFirst();
while(!RecList.isEof()){
ResultSet oResultSetSubProps = (ResultSet)RecList.getResultCell(SUBSCRIPTION_RESULT_SET).getValue();
oResultSetSubProps.moveFirst();
while(!oResultSetSubProps.isEof())
{
String d1 = oResultSetSubProps.getFieldValueString(DisplayPropertyEnum.EXPIRATIONDATE);
// the below few lines in red return nothing, its unable to convert to Date as it is unable to recognize the Expiration date in the String format.
java.text.SimpleDateFormat formatter = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("M/dd/yyyy");
String dateInString = d1;
Date date = formatter.parse(dateInString);
printOut(formatter.format(date));
oResultSetSubProps.moveNext();
}
RecList.moveNext();
}
oSubs.moveNext();
}

This worked for me. The string was neither empty, nor null and no even blank but it would still not parse it so i had to use the length of the string.
java.text.DateFormat formatter = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("M/d/yyyy",Locale.US);
String dateInString = d1;
if(d1.trim().length()>0)
{
Date date = formatter.parse(dateInString);
if(todaydate.compareTo(date)>0)
{
printOut(name+";"+formatter.format(date));
}
}

if(d1.contains("/"))
{
Date EDate=new Date(d1);
Date today= new Date();
if(d1.compareTo(today)<0)
{
printOut("Expired");
}
}
else
{
printOut("Active");
}
//blank or null values can be handled in Else condition instead.. Hope it helps..

Avoiding a particular check for YYYY-MM--dd format in date

I have below method in which different date patterns have been handled
below is the method in which different date formats have been handled now
now for the particulat format YYYY-MM-dd i don't want it to go for the check where we are prefixing 20 before in code please advise how can i skip that part lets say if the date pattern is YYYY-MM-dd then avoid the logic of prefixing 20 in front of year
below is my code
public java.util.Date extractDate(String dateStr, String dateType) {
String[] datePatternsOfUk = { "d-M-yy", "d-M-yyyy", "d/M/yy", "d/M/yyyy", "yyyy-MM-dd","dd-MM-yy", "dd-MMM-yy","dd-MMM-yyyy","dd-MM-yyyy",
"dd/MM/yy","dd/MMM/yy","dd/MMM/yyyy"};
String[] datePatternsOfUs = { "M-d-yy","MM-dd-yy","M/d/yy","MM/dd/yy", "MM/dd/yy", "MMM-dd-yy",
"MMM/dd/yy", "MMM-dd-yyyy", "MM-dd-yyyy", "MMM/dd/yyyy",
"MM/dd/yyyy" };
java.util.Date date = null;
String[] datePatterns = datePatternsOfUk;
if (dateType.equals("US")) {
datePatterns = datePatternsOfUs;
} else if (dateType.equals("UK")) {
datePatterns = datePatternsOfUk;
}
///******code should not go in this check where date pattern is YYYY-MM-dd
int p = dateStr.lastIndexOf("/");
if (p == -1) {
p = dateStr.lastIndexOf("-");
}
String firstSubstring = dateStr.substring(0, p + 1);
String secondSubstring = dateStr.substring(p + 1);
if (p != -1 && secondSubstring.length() <= 2) {
secondSubstring = Integer.toString(2000 + Integer.parseInt(secondSubstring));
dateStr = firstSubstring + secondSubstring;
}
///****************************************//
try {
date = DateUtils.parseDate(dateStr, datePatterns);
} catch (ParseException ex) {
logger.error("##$$$$$### Error in invoice inside extractDate method : ##$$$$$$#### "
+ ErrorUtility.getStackTraceForException(ex));
}
return date;
}

You could avoid trying any inappropriate pattern by checking if the string "looks like" the pattern before parsing with the pattern.
The general way to do this is:
String datePattern = "yyyy-MM-dd"; // for example
String input;
if (input.matches(datePattern.replaceAll("\\w", "\\d"))) {
// the input looks like the pattern
// in this example "dddd-dd-dd" where "d" is any digit
// so go ahead and try the parse
}
You can enhance this logic to add:
if (input.matches("\\d\\d\\D.*")) {
// then it only has a two digit year, so add "20" to the front
}

if (!dateStr.equals("YYYY-MM-dd")) {
// code
}

Function works inside Main method but doesn't work in another class

I am facing this weird issue. I have written following function which fetches tweets of a user between specified dates:
List<Tweet> tweetlist = TweetManager.getTweets("arynewsofficial", fromdate, todate, null);
The function works absolutely fine inside main method and returns collection of tweets. However, when I add this line of code in another function inside some other class, application doesnt return anything. Rather, it hangs. Here is my class in which I have added my function:
public class NewsCollector {
public List<String> collectTweets(String stockdate[], int noofpastimpacts)
throws IOException
{
try
{
int year= Integer.parseInt(stockdate[0]);
int month= Integer.parseInt(stockdate[1]);
int day= Integer.parseInt(stockdate[2]);
List<String> tweetstext = new ArrayList<String>();
LocalDate currentdate = LocalDate.of(year, month, day);
LocalDate datefromdate = currentdate.minusDays(noofpastimpacts+1);
String fromdate= datefromdate.getYear()+ "-" +
datefromdate.getMonthValue() + "-" +
datefromdate.getDayOfMonth();
LocalDate datetodate = datefromdate.plusDays(noofpastimpacts);
String todate = datetodate.getYear() + "-" +
datetodate.getMonthValue() + "-" +
datetodate.getDayOfMonth();
List<Tweet> tweetlist =
TweetManager.getTweets("arynewsofficial", fromdate, todate, null);
List<String[]> data = new ArrayList<String[]>();
data.add(new String[] {"Text", "Date","Sentiment"});
for(Tweet tweety: tweetlist)
{
data.add(new String[] { tweety.getText(),
tweety.getDate().toString(),
"0"});
tweetstext.add(tweety.getText());
}
String csv = "D:/Tweets/"+fromdate+".csv";
CSVWriter writer = new CSVWriter(new FileWriter(csv));
writer.writeAll(data);
writer.close();
System.out.print("Total Tweets Retreived: "+tweetlist.size() );
return tweetstext;
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
return null;
}
}
}

Is NewsCollector supposed to be used as an object? It doesn't look like that, so you may want to make your method static.

Validating a Date in Java exactly like Oracle does in TO_DATE()

I have to Validate a date in Java to check if it is in correct format and correct value.
If I use SimpleDateformat Class, it will make wrong date valid as well because if a month is given as 14 it will add 1 year to the Year part.
However in Oracle it will indivisually check if Month , Date , Hour , Minute etc is correct.
E.g. in Oracle
TO_DATE(20141511 , 'YYYYMMDD')
will give error that the MONTH i.e. 15 is incorrect
But in Java
Date d = "YYYYMMDD".parse("20141511");
will be valid because it will count it as 2015+3 months.
So, how can I validate a date in Java exactly like Oracle does in its TO_DATE function?

If I understand your question, you could use DateFormat.setLenient(false). Per the JavaDoc,
Specify whether or not date/time parsing is to be lenient ... With strict parsing, inputs must match this object's format.
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
df.setLenient(false);
try {
Date d = df.parse("20141511");
} catch (ParseException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Does not allow the invalid date to parse and throws
java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "20141511"

None of these solutions account Oracle settings for the date format. A more global solution using oracle.sql.Date and exceptions:
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import oracle.sql.DATE;
public void validateDate (String dateString, String nlsDateFormat, String nlsDateLanguage) throws ParseException, SQLException {
if (dateString == null) {
throw new ParseException("Date parameter not entered.", 0);
} else {
try {
DATE.fromText(dateString, nlsDateFormat, nlsDateLanguage); //not implemented in every ojdbc driver, works with ojbdbc6.jar
} catch (SQLException e) {
if (!e.getMessage().contains("Unimplemented")) {
throw new SQLException (e);
}
}
}
}
(I discovered some drivers couldn't even handle this.. so validation is bypassed if oracle.sql.DATE is not implemented)/ To get session variables for NLS_FORMAT and NLS_LANGUAGE:
private String getDateNlsFmt() throws SQLException {
String nlsDateFormat;
String sqlStmt =
"SELECT value nlsDateFormat "
+ " FROM nls_session_parameters "
+ " WHERE parameter = 'NLS_DATE_FORMAT' ";
QueryStatement q = new QueryStatement(conn, sqlStmt);
q.open();
if (!q.eof()) {
nlsDateFormat = q.getString("nlsDateFormat");
}
q.close();
return nlsDateFormat;
}
private String getDateNlsLang() throws SQLException {
String nlsDateLanguage;
String sqlStmt =
"SELECT value nlsDateLanguage "
+ " FROM nls_session_parameters "
+ " WHERE parameter = 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE' ";
QueryStatement q = new QueryStatement(conn, sqlStmt);
q.open();
if (!q.eof()) {
nlsDateLanguage = q.getString("nlsDateLanguage");
}
q.close();
return nlsDateLanguage;
}
