Using one Input data in two tasks - java

Is there a way to use one Input data in two tasks? I have a program that has to check if an Email matches a particular pattern and at the end if an email is correct the program prints it. In my case I have to write the email twice, one time so an email can be stored in a variable email = In.readLine(); and the second time so it can be checked vname = In.readIdentifier(); and I want to write it just once.
Out.print("Please enter an Email-Adress: ");
email = In.readLine();
name = In.readIdentifier();
if (!In.done()) {
Out.println("Error : False name");
return;
}

Change your readIdentifier() function so you can pass the previously read "email" variable to it instead of reading from In again.

You dont need to read email twice. So your custom code:
email = In.readLine();
name = In.readIdentifier();
can be changed to:
email = In.readLine();
//name = In.readIdentifier();
and further in your business logic you could just use email instead.

"Cast" a String Attribute to String Java [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
What is a NullPointerException, and how do I fix it?
(12 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have a little problem with Attributes. I am currently working on a project that parses emails from an LDAP server into the Java application that will be doing some interesting stuff with emails in the future.
I am currently having this code that takes emails from users on LDAP and it needs to put emails in the User class as seen in my code:
[some code here, TRY CATCH is also included]
LdapContext ctx = new InitialLdapContext(env, null);
ctx.setRequestControls(null);
NamingEnumeration<?> namingEnum2 = ctx.search("[path to the server]", "(objectClass=user)", getSimpleSearchControls());
System.out.println("Test: print emails from whole DIRECOTRY: \n");
while (namingEnum2.hasMore()) {
SearchResult result = (SearchResult) namingEnum2.next();
Attributes attrs = result.getAttributes();
System.out.println(attrs.get("mail"));
/** This line above works fine, but every time there is no email
in User info, it prints "null" in some cases when there is
no email, which is not perfect. But this is just here to see
if everything works and indeed it does.**/
/**User Class accepts a String parameter, checks if it's empty
and all that, does some checking and etc... BUT! attrs.get("mail")
is an Attribute, NOT a String. And I need to somehow "cast" this
attribute to a String, so I can work with it.**/
User user = new User(attrs.get("mail")); //error yet,because the parameter is not a String.
User user = new User(attrs.get("mail").toString());//gives an expeption.
/** And I know that there is a toString() method in Attribute Class,
but it doesn't work, it gives an "java.lang.NullPointerException"
exception when I use it as attrs.get("mail").toString() **/
}
Here is User class's constructor:
public User(String mail){
eMail = "NO EMAIL!";
if (mail != null && !mail.isEmpty()){
eMail = mail;
}
else
{
eMail = "NO EMAIL!";
}
}
try this
User user = new User(attrs.get("mail")!=null?attrs.get("mail").toString():null);
First you need to check that given attribute exists by using != null (e.g. using Objects.toString which does that inside, or manual if) check, and then use either toString on the Attribute, just like println does inside:
User user = new User(Objects.toString(attrs.get("mail")));
Or you can also use (to retrieve a single value in the attribute, if you have many you need to use getAll):
Object mail = null;
if (attrs.get("mail") != null) {
mail = attrs.get("mail").get();
}
User user = new User(mail.toString());

JT400 - Get spool file generated by a command

I am developing a java class with JT400 and trying to get the result of the command “dspmsg qsysopr" with:
AS400 as400 = new AS400(system, user, password);
CommandCall cmd = new CommandCall(as400);
cmd.runCommand("dspmsg qsysopr");
I found out that the command runs in a JOB with the user QUSER, but an spool file with the result is generated under the user "user" specified when I instantiate the object AS400.
I can successfully run the command, but instead of the messages in the queue I have as result:
"Printer output created."
I get this result with the code:
Job job = cmd.getServerJob();
AS400Message[] messageList = cmd.getMessageList();
for (int i = 0; i < messageList.length; i++) {
System.out.println(messageList[i].getText());
}
Question 1: Is there a way to not receive the messages in a spool file but have it returned to me as na AS400Message or something similar?
Not been able to do so, I am using the following method to get the spool file:
public String getSpoolFile (
String splfname, // splf name
String splfnumbert, // splf number
String jobname, // job name
String jobuser, // job user
String jobfnumber // job number
) throws Exception {
int splno = Integer.parseInt(splfnumbert);
SpooledFile sf = new SpooledFile( as400, // system
splfname, // splf name
splno, // splf number
jobname, // job name
jobuser, // job user
jobfnumber );
PrintParameterList printParms = new PrintParameterList();
printParms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_WORKSTATION_CUST_OBJECT, "/QSYS.LIB/QWPDEFAULT.WSCST");
printParms.setParameter(PrintObject.ATTR_MFGTYPE, "*WSCST");
// Create a page input stream from the spooled file
PrintObjectPageInputStream is;
String data ="";
String response ="";
is = sf.getPageInputStream(printParms);
BufferedReader d = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
while((data = d.readLine() )!=null)
{
response+=data+"\n";
}
return response;
}
The problem is: I don't have the parameters to call the method "getSpoolFile".
If I manually log in AS400, check the spool file details and call the method with the manually obtained parameters, I successfully get the spool file.
But the JOB object I receive under:
Job job = cmd.getServerJob();
After running:
cmd.runCommand("dspmsg qsysopr");
Is not the same Job that created the spool file. For example, If I check:
System.out.println(job.getUser());
I have "QUSER" as result, but the spool file is generated under “user” output queue.
Question 2: How can I get the JOB related to the generation of that spool file?
Question 3: can I also get the parameters related to the spool file generated like the spool file number and spool file name?
I need the following information in order to call the "getSpoolFile" method:
Spool file name
Spool file number
Job name
Job user
Job number
thanks,
Carlos
You probably don't want to "print" the messages at all. You haven't said what you want to do with any messages once you get them (and getting QSYSOPR messages is probably not a good idea in the first place).
You might review AS/400 Message queue filtering - JT400 and then begin thinking how you want to proceed. There is a lot that can be done with messages.
Not specifically how to retrieve the spool file information but this will get you the QSYSOPR messages if that is your ultimate goal.
AS400 sys = new AS400(as400system,username,password);
//Get the user object for QSYSOPR
User u = new User(sys,"qsysopr");
//Get the path to the user's message queue
String qpath = u.getMessageQueue();
//Retrieve the message queue object
MessageQueue queue = new MessageQueue(sys, qpath);
// Get the list of messages currently in this user's queue.
queue.setListDirection(false);
//Get the first 15 messsages
QueuedMessage[] qm = queue.getMessages(0,15);
//Loop through the messages
for (int i = qm.length -1; i >=0; i--)
{
System.out.println(qm[i].getText());
}
Of course there are other properties, date, reply status, user that you can retrieve from the QueuedMessage class. No parsing needed.

Lotus Notes - Mail Document - Principal/From,INetFrom, SentTime, ReceivedTime fields

I have a requirement to fetch the SenderName,SenderEmail,ToNames,ToEmails,CCNames,CcEmails from a lotus notes document instance.
Issue1
Looking into lotus.domino.Document API I found out the method getItems. When I write the elements to the system.out values for SenderEmail, ToEmails and CcEmails can be found.
However values for SenderName(a.k.a From), ToNames cannot be derived that easily.
The values seems to be using an common name format. For example check check my system.output below.
Principal = "CN=Amaw Scritz/O=fictive"
$MessageID = "<OF0FF3779B.36590F8A-ON80257D15.001DBC47-65257D15.001DC804#LocalDomain>"
INetFrom = "AmawScritz#fictive.com"
Recipients = "CN=Girl1/O=fictive#fictive"
MailOptions = "0"
SaveOptions = "1"
From = "CN=Amaw Scritz/O=fictive"
AltFrom = "CN=Amaw Scritz/O=fictive"
SendTo = "CN=Girl1/O=fictive#fictive"
CopyTo = "CN=Girl2/O=fictive#fictive"
BlindCopyTo = ""
InetSendTo = "Girl1#fictive.com"
InetCopyTo = "Girl2#fictive.com"
$Abstract = "sasdasda"
$UpdatedBy = "CN=Amaw Scritz/O=fictive"
Body = "Hello World"
The question is how can I get 'Amaw Scritz' from the common name 'CN=Amaw Scritz/O=fictive'. Is there any look up mechanism that can be used. (I would prefer to have a option other than doing a substring of the common name)
Issue2
is it possible to retrieve SentTime and ReceivedTime from mail document instance?
I know that there are two methods called getCreated and getLastModified. getCreated can be loosely associated with the SentTime and getLastModified can be loosely associated with ReceivedTime. Are there are other ways to get times for SentTime and ReceivedTime.
Issue3
How can one distinguish whether a mail document is a Sent mail or a Received Mail?
Issue1
You can use Name class.
Here example from this link:
import lotus.domino.*;
public class JavaAgent extends AgentBase {
public void NotesMain() {
try {
Session session = getSession();
AgentContext agentContext = session.getAgentContext();
// (Your code goes here)
// Create a hierarchical name
Name nam = session.createName(
"CN=John B Goode/OU=Sales/OU=East/O=Acme/C=US");
// Returns:
// John B Goode
// John B Goode/Sales/East/Acme/US
// CN=John B Goode/OU=Sales/OU=East/O=Acme/C=US
System.out.println(nam.getCommon());
System.out.println(nam.getAbbreviated());
System.out.println(nam.getCanonical());
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Issue2
Use values of PostedDate field and DeliveredDate field of mail document.
Issue3
Check that $Inbox folder contains your mail document. Or take a look at Dave Delay answer.
I agree with #nempoBu4 on Issues 1 and 2. I disagree with the answer to Issue 3. A received message can be removed from the inbox, so checking $Inbox doesn't help you distinguish between sent and received messages.
Assuming you have the document open, the best approach is to check two items. Sent and received messages both have a PostedDate item, but only a received message has a DeliveredDate item. Incidentally, a draft message has neither PostedDate or DeliveredDate.

Smack - How to read a MultiUserChat's configuration?

I tried to create a multiuserchat with Java. I'm using smack library.
Here is my code to create multiuserchat:
MultiUserChat muc = new MultiUserChat(connection, "roomname#somehost");
muc.create("mynickname");
Form form = muc.getConfigurationForm();
Form submitForm = form.createAnswerForm();
submitForm.setAnswer("muc#roomconfig_roomname", "A nice formatted Room Name");
submitForm.setAnswer("muc#roomconfig_roomdesc", "The description. It should be longer.");
muc.sendConfigurationForm(submitForm);
muc.addMessageListener(mucMessageListener); // mucMessageListener is a PacketListener
Then, I tried to capture the message sent by this room created above using mucMessageListener:
private PacketListener mucMessageListener = new PacketListener() {
public void processPacket(Packet packet) {
if (packet instanceof Message) {
Message message = (Message) packet;
// this is where I got the problem
}
}
}
As the message received by other part (the user who is not the owner of this multiuserchat), can he somehow get the value set in this line above:
submitForm.setAnswer("muc#roomconfig_roomname", "A nice formatted Room Name");
You see, getting just the JID of the room is not really good for the view. I expect I could have a String which value is "A nice formatted Room Name".
How can we get that?
You can easily get its configurations like name and etc from this code:
MultiUserChatManager mucManager = MultiUserChatManager.getInstanceFor(connection);
RoomInfo info = mucManager.getRoomInfo(room.getRoom());
now you can get its informations like this:
String mucName = info.getName();
Boolean isPersistence = info.isPersistent();
and etc.
Retrieving the value of muc#roomconfig_romname is described in XEP-45 6.4. Smack provides the MultiUserChat.getRoomInfo() method to perform the query.
RoomInfo roomInfo = MultiUserChat.getRoomInfo(connection, "roomname#somehost.com")
String roomDescription = roomInfo.getDescription()
If you want to read a value of var for example title name of room in config
Form form = chat.getConfigurationForm();
String value = form.getField("muc#roomconfig_roomname").getValues().next();
then do what ever you want with value..

using java select city and country from a given string that contains full address

I am writing a code in which I want user to provide a string of unknown length.. suppose he provided a string.. now I want to get city and country present in that string...
If anybody have any better idea, please share..
As your requirement, you have to build a case where you need to defined all the possibility city or country like Array city= new Array["America","England","China","Myanmar"]; after that now loop your array then read the user defined line from index 0 and each time move your character point +1(do in a loop too)(convert it in String) then search your city pattern to match with the character(String). Your program complexity will increase more and more due to your requirement, I think your complexity will raise up to O(n*n), it is not good for memory.
On my view of point, you should ask from user to get the actual requirement step by step like (Enter City :_ then Enter Country :__) it is better to handle the string.GOOD LUCK!
In the question you never specified the format of the input string but assuming the format is "city, country" then this works
String s = "the name of a city, the name of a country";
String city = s.substring(0, s.indexOf(", "));
String country = s.substring(s.indexOf(", ") + 2);
System.out.println("City = " + city);
System.out.println("Country = " + country);
Well, your questions are very interesting. The program you are writing now is depending on LOGIC and I think there is no such jar files available to get solution on it. It is better to get solution manually. Did you ever think about Dictionary program. Mostly Dictionary words are written in a text file and at run time, the program load that words into an array or some other Collections. This way you can also Load Your file at runtime into a 2D array or collection(mostly HashMap is used). So you can scan your file and load it.Suppose u want to read
Example:
Agra,India
London,England
Yangon,Myanmar
Tokyo,Japan
etc...
` String line;
FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream(dataFile);
//dataFile is your file directory
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(fstream);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
HashMap<String,String> divideCityCountry =new HashMap<String,String>();
while((line=br.readLine())!=-1)
{
String[] lineSplit = line.split(",");//use the ',' as delimiter
divideCityCountry.put(lineSplit[0], lineSplit[1]);
} `
Now you can check or get the city and country in the divideCityCountry HashMap().
Hope this may helpful.Good Luck!
