Create a Java Request in jMeter for validating multiple variables

Here in My HTTP Request I extracted some variables using JSON Path Extractor. I want to create a Java Request it will validate the above variables. i.e I want to check the value of reqVar1 is equal to resVar1 or not and reqVar2 is equal to resVar2 or not like that.

You are making things over complicated, you could achieve the same using normal Response Assertion.
For example, if you have a JMeter Variable ${var1} and you need to compare it to ${var2}, ${var3} and ${var4} you can just configure the Response Assertion like:
More information on conditionally marking sampler results as successful or failed: How to Use JMeter Assertions in Three Easy Steps

Instead of Java Request sampler, you can add BeanShell Assertion to compare the values. following is the code:
if(vars.get("reqVar1").equals(vars.get("resVar1")))
{
if(vars.get("reqVar2").equals(vars.get("resVar2")))
{
SampleResult.setResponseCode("200");
SampleResult.setResponseMessage("SUCESS");
}
else{
SampleResult.setResponseCode("403"); // keep error code as per your wish
SampleResult.setResponseMessage("reqVar2 and reqVar2 are NOT same" + vars.get("reqVar2") + vars.get("resVar2"));
}
}
else{
SampleResult.setResponseCode("403"); // keep error code as per your wish
SampleResult.setResponseMessage("reqVar1 and reqVar1 are NOT same" + vars.get("reqVar1") + vars.get("resVar1"));
}
Add the BeanShell Assertion as a child element to the HTTP Sampler in which you are getting the values for reqVar1, reqVar2, resVar1, resVar2
Once the decision is taken based on If condition, you can change the response code and message using SampleResult

adding function to jsonjava object and calling it from xpages control

I am trying to add a function to a JSONJavaObject and calling it from a control on an xpage.
so far I have:
json = (JsonJavaObject) JsonParser.fromJson(factory, colJson);
String func = "function () { alert('you clicked?'); }";
json.put("onClick", new JsonReference(func) );
In the first line I add key-value pairs from a column in a Notes view.
In the second line I define the function as a string.
In the last line I place the converted string as function in the jsonjava object.
I read about this in the following blog post:
http://camerongregor.com/2016/01/19/doublequoteavoidance/
In the next step I bind the function to e.g. a button control as followed:
<xp:button value="Label" id="button1">
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="false">
<xp:this.script><![CDATA[obj.onClick]]></xp:this.script>
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:button>
obj is the respresentation of the JSONJava object in SSJS.
But without success. Anyone know how I can call the function in the object?

I hope I will make sense here, let me know if anything to clarify.
If you are simply trying to dynamically output the client side script of a button event, then you don't need to use JsonReference at all. You can just use a String.
In my blog article I might not have make it clear why I needed to use JsonReference. I was using it in the process of rendering a custom UIComponent, part of this process required generating a Json object client side. To do this I created the JsonJavaObject as you did and then asked it to be turned into a string with the 'toJson' method. My problem was that when I asked the whole object to become a string, every property of that object that was a String, would begin and end with a double quote. I needed to ensure that the properties which were intended to be functions did not begin and end with "". By using the JsonReference the JsonGenerator became aware of my intention not to include these double quotes.
In your case, it looks as though you are just trying to dynamically determine what happens with onClick. To do this you could simply use a String instead of the JsonReference. The inclusion of the 'function() {}' is unnecessary as this will be generated when the event handler is rendered at the end of the page.
For Example here would be the Json Java Object
JsonJavaObject obj = new JsonJavaObject();
String func = " alert('you clicked?'); ";
obj.put("onClick", func);
return obj;
And here would be the button:
<xp:button id="button1" value="Alert Me">
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="false"
script="#{javascript: myBean.myObject.get('onClick')}">
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:button>
This should give you the end result of seeing 'you clicked?' alert.
You can also inspect how this has all been generated in the script block near the end of the page using 'view Source' or your favourite web browser developer tools:
function view__id1__id2_clientSide_onclick(thisEvent) {
alert('you clicked?');
}
XSP.addOnLoad(function() {
XSP.attachEvent("view:_id1:_id2", "view:_id1:button1", "onclick",
view__id1__id2_clientSide_onclick, false, 2);
});
Let me know if anything isn't clear, hope it helps!

Does obj.onClick already give you a handle to the function returned by the Java class? If it does then you should be able to call it using the call or apply methods that are available in JavaScript:
obj.onClick.call();
obj.onClick.apply();
More details about those two methods can be found here: What is the difference between call and apply?

Android Data Validation

I am wondering what is the most effective form of data validation for android. So, when getting a value from an EditText how should the value given be validated before it is used? I currently check to make sure the string returned from getText().toString() is not null or empty using the guava library:
Strings.isNullOrEmpty(editText.getText().toString())
Then, depending on what type of data I am expecting, I create a method to see if the data can be parsed. So if I am expecting a double I will create a method like this:
private boolean isDouble(String string) {
try {
double stringDouble = Double.parseDouble(string);
return true;
} catch (Exception e)
{
return false;
}
}
Is there a simpler way to do this without the need to create a separate method for each type of data I am expecting to receive?

I've used the edittext-validator the last time I needed a quick validation. Works like charm :)
https://github.com/vekexasia/android-edittext-validator

If you are using EditText you should know what purposes it serves. Usually you are expecting to have just a plain string to, for example, send it to server or store in SharedPreferences.
But, if you want a particular data to be filled in, you can use Pattern class for validation. In case of number values you are using android:inputType="number" and when converting it using Integer.valueOf(text)

Ebay Finding API

I am making a call from a server that is located in US to FindItemsAdvanced of ebay finding api.
I define ListedIn as "EBAY-ENCA", however, when I make the call - I see that it doesn't return results. I believe that this is because that items are not available to US.
I see that there is a parameter called: AvailableTo - but how can I say "to all countries" ? Writing each iso code in the world could be exhausting..
My code:
ItemFilter marketFilter = new ItemFilter();
marketFilter.setName(ItemFilterType.LISTED_IN);
marketFilter.getValue().add("EBAY-ENCA");
request.getItemFilter().add(marketFilter);
ItemFilter conditionFilter = new ItemFilter();
conditionFilter.setName(ItemFilterType.AVAILABLE_TO);
conditionFilter.getValue().add("UK");
request.getItemFilter().add(conditionFilter);

In general this call should work - regardless from where you call the API. So I assume that you get an error message from the API that prevent items from being returned. Be aware that the FindItemsAdvanced call of the eBay Finding API requires either a given "categoryId" or a "keyword". Do you set any of these?
Here is the XML payload of a working call:
<findItemsAdvancedRequest xmlns="http://www.ebay.com/marketplace/search/v1/services">
<keywords>iPhone6</keywords>
<itemFilter>
<name>ListedIn</name>
<value>EBAY-ENCA</value>
</itemFilter>
</findItemsAdvancedRequest>
I've created an example in our API playground. It uses the XML version of the Finding API. Just execute the call to see the valid response with items included. You can adapt and customize the request parameters to your needs and see how the API responses.
The "AvailableTo" filter can only be used once per request with exactly one value. So it won't be possible to add it multiple times or to add it once with multiple values. But I'm not sure if I get your use case right. Do you really want to get only those items that are available world wide? If yes, then I'm afraid this most probably isn't possible without filtering them locally (eg. by filtering for "Worldwide" in the "shipToLocations").

Authorize.net create ARB and get Id

When I create a new ARB subscription the response comes back and I save the id it gives us. I tried it out and it gives us back "33".
Then when the silent post callback hits our method, the response has a different id, 15631016.
15631016 is correct in matching up with the one we see in the authorize.net online portal.
So, what is 33 and why doesn't it return the real ARB ID?
Here is the code that creates the new ARB and then gets the arbId:
net.authorize.arb.Transaction arbTransaction = createARBTransaction(startDate.getTime(), creditCard, member, splitOccurrences.intValue() - 1, splitUnit, useBillingAddress, billingAddress, recurringOrder.getTotalAmount().doubleValue(), recurringOrder);
net.authorize.arb.Result<?> arbResult = (net.authorize.arb.Result<?>) merchant.postTransaction(arbTransaction);
String arbId;
if (arbResult.isOk()) {
arbId = arbResult.getResultSubscriptionId();
}
If getResultSubscriptionId() is not the correct way to get the new ARB subscription ID, what is the correct method to use?

I went through the sample code and also their community and there isn't much to go on. The only thing I can think of trying is changing:
arbResult.getResultSubscriptionId();
to:
arbTransaction.getResultSubscriptionId();
I know that doesn't sound logical but it's the best I can some up with.

According to the source code, you are using the correct method.
If you trace the calls back into the code you'll see that the subscription id gets set by the following call in importResponseMessages() of net.authorize.arb.Result
getElementText(txn.getCurrentResponse().getDocumentElement(),AuthNetField.ELEMENT_SUBSCRIPTION_ID.getFieldName());
so if you call this on your arbResult variable, you might get closer. Note that txn should be replaced by your variable arbTransaction.
Alternatively, you can dig into the response itself to see why the Authorize.net APK isn't returning the correct subscription id.
xml = arbTransaction.getCurrentResponse().dump(true);
The true determines whether the XML tree is collapsed. xml should be a string containing your XML response from authorize.net
