javafx field which accepts double only

I'm trying to create a field which accepts doubles only. I want the value to be commited without the user having to click on enter. So I am setting a listener to the changes that are happening and setting the value each time.
Here is some of my code:
// Change the behaviour of the converter to avoid empty strings and values outside the defined bounds
valueFactory.setConverter(new StringConverter<Double>() {
private final DecimalFormat format = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
#Override
public String toString(Double value) {
if (value == null) {
return format.format(0);
}
return value.toString();
}
#Override
public Double fromString(String string) {
try {
if (string == null || string.trim().length() < 0 || string.trim().length() > MAX_LENGTH) {
return null;
} else {
Double newVal = format.parse(string).doubleValue();
return (newVal >= min && max >= newVal) ? newVal : null;
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
return 0.00;
}
}
});
// Define a formatter on the text entered into the field
TextFormatter<Object> textFormatter = new TextFormatter<>(c -> {
if (c.getText().matches("[^0-9.]+") && !c.getText().trim().isEmpty()) {
return null;
}
if(c.getControlNewText().length() <= MAX_LENGTH) {
try {
Double newVal = Double.valueOf(c.getControlNewText());
return (newVal >= min && max >= newVal) ? c : null;
} catch (Exception ex) {
if(c.getControlNewText().isEmpty()) {
c.setText("0.00");
} else if(c.getControlNewText().length() == 1) {
c.setText("0.00");
} else {
c.setText("");
}
return c;
}
} else {
c.setText("");
return c;
}
});
getEditor().setTextFormatter(textFormatter);
getEditor().textProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<String>() {
public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends String> observable, String oldValue, String newValue) {
if(!newValue.trim().isEmpty()) {
try {
setValue(Double.parseDouble(newValue), amountToStepBy);
} catch(Exception e) {
setValue(min, amountToStepBy);
getEditor().setText(min.toString());
}
}
}
});
I want the user to only be able to add double numbers in the format #.## only. The problem is this fails when I enter a number like 0.00000001 and I get an exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The start must be <= the end
at javafx.scene.control.TextInputControl.getText(TextInputControl.java:446)
at javafx.scene.control.TextInputControl.updateContent(TextInputControl.java:564)
at javafx.scene.control.TextInputControl.replaceText(TextInputControl.java:548)
at com.sun.javafx.scene.control.skin.TextFieldSkin.replaceText(TextFieldSkin.java:576)
Also the text field gets edited with the value 1.0E-8.

Parse JSON into a java object

Hello I have the following task:
A URL that has a JSON Object:
- Write a program to read/write URL
- Parse data in URL using JSON to JAVA Object
- display 3 variables to user from the object
- Find entity/list of object = Find object that has ‘name’
- Find Object that has ‘author’
- Find Object that has ‘item’
*Define through annotation how to define JSON into Java list and find Object that has ‘name’ in it.
I think the question is asking to parse the JSON without using any java library. So far I have developed the following code:
class JSONObject {
HashMap map = new HashMap();
}
public class SYW {
public static String sampleUrl = "https://api.github.com/users/mralexgray/repos";
public static Integer index = 1;
public static void main(String[] args) {
//String sampleJSON = fetchJSON(sampleUrl);
JSONObject json = getJSONObject("{\"login\": \"mralexgray\",\"id\": 262517,\"avatar_url\": \"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/262517?v=3\"}");
// suppose there is a owner class
populateJavaObject(json, Owner.class);
}
public static void populateJavaObject(JSONObject json, Class class1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Object obj = null;
try {
obj = class1.newInstance();
Iterator it = json.map.keySet().iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
String key = (String)it.next();
Object value = json.map.get(key);
Field field = class1.getDeclaredField(key);
field.setAccessible(true);
if (value instanceof Integer) {
field.setInt(obj, (Integer)value);
} else if (value instanceof String) {
field.setString(obj, (String)value);
}
}
} catch (InstantiationException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();

while (jsonStr.charAt(i) != '\"') {
jsonStr.charAt(i);
buf.append(jsonStr.charAt(i));
i++;
}
index = i;
return buf.toString();
}
public static JSONObject getJSONObject (String jsonStr) {
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
boolean isKey = true;
String currentKey = "";
Object currentValue = "";
JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
while (jsonStr.charAt(index) != '}') {

} else if (jsonStr.charAt(index) == ',' || jsonStr.charAt(index) == '}') {

json.map.put(currentKey, currentValue);
}
index++;
}
return json;
}
private static ArrayList getArray(String jsonStr) {
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
while (jsonStr.charAt(index) != ']') {
index++;
}
return null;
}
private static Integer getNumber(String jsonStr) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Integer num = 0;
while (Character.isDigit(jsonStr.charAt(index))) {
num = num * 10 + Integer.parseInt(jsonStr.charAt(index)+"");
index++;
}
index--;
return num;
}
public static Object parseJSON(String jsonStr) {
Owner owner = new Owner();
while (index <= jsonStr.length()) {
if (jsonStr.charAt(index) == '{') {
return getJSONObject(jsonStr);
} else if (jsonStr.charAt(index) == '[') {
return getArray(jsonStr);
}
}
return null;
}
public static String fetchJSON(String url) {
String nextLine = "";
try {
URL sywURL = new URL(url);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(sywURL.openStream()));

while ((nextLine = reader.readLine()) != null) {
buf.append(nextLine);
}
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return nextLine;
}
}
What I am doing here is I have a JSONObject class which stores the JSON attributes in a map then I want to use reflection to populate any class.
For parsing the JSON, I am trying to create a mini FSM ( :) ), which parses the string using a for loop and based on the character it either parses the string or number or array token. I am using a non-generic map so that I can store object of any type.
I was thinking may be I can use template or something pattern where each node will have a recursive structure or will be a leaf node. But I am really confused how to represent that because each leaf node can have one attribute and value. How can I represent that? Besides Is this the only way to represent that or whatever I have done so far is in the right direction?
Secondly, if I parse the objects, then how can I store them? Obviously the task is to find elements based on different attribute values. So I can create probably a hashmap based on one key to serve the one such query. But then how can I create an efficient data structure that will allow me efficiently query based on different attributes?
Thirdly, I am not sure what this means "Define through annotation how to define JSON into Java list and find Object that has ‘name’ in it."
Please help.
Thanks

'I think the question is asking to parse the JSON without using any java library' - personally I take it as being the complete opposite.
Software engineering principle number 1 is 'Don't reinvent the wheel'.
I think 'Define through annotation how to define JSON into Java list and find Object that has ‘name’ in it.' is a strong hint to use the annotations with the Jackson parser - which would be the standard way to attack this problem. Jackson annotations

Creating an Hierarchy-Object with an undefined number of childs

I am currently working on a "code parser" parsing Valve Map Format (.vmf files) into a java readable Object.
In vmf files,
there are 2 types of objects: Classes and Properties.
classes have a name and can contain other classes and properties.
properties have a name and an unlimited number of values.
Therefore I created a VMFClass Object Class and a VMFProperty Object Class.
I created a List with self-created HierarchyObjects, containing the VMFClass/VMFProperty Object, an UUID and the parentUUID.
The VMFClass Object Contains 2 Lists one with sub-VMFClasses, one with properties.
My Problem is that I have no clue on how to achieve that a Class contains all of its subclasses, since I can't tell how much subclasses the subclasses have and so on...
Here is my Code (Github):

this.UUID = random;
usedUUIDs.put(random, parent);
break;
}
}
}

Overview
It seems to me that your class layout is overcomplicated.
Let's try to simplify it...
What you have described with the VMF model is essentially a linked-list Tree.
Here's what the model looks like:
[.vmf file] (root)
/ \
_____/ \ _____
/ \
/ \
(VMFClass) (VMFClass)
/ \ / \
/ \ / \
/ \ / \
(VMFClass) (VMFProperties) (VMFClass) (VMFProperties)
/ \
/ \
/ \
(VMFClass) (VMFProperties)
What you need:
A Parser class (in your case, you have VMFObject, but lets call this class VMFParser).
The VMFClass and VMFProperty classes which you have are fine.
What you don't need:
The HierarchyObject class. The VMFParser can be the main controller and container for the hierarchy (e.g. the linked-list Tree model).
All the UUIDs (parent, child, etc.) These are just complicated things, but I see why you have them. You don't need them to track the hierarchy - Java will do this for us!!
VMFClass
public class VMFClass
{
// name of the class
private String name;
// reference back up to the parent
private VMFClass parentClass = null;
// all direct children go here
private List<VMFClass> children = new ArrayList<VMFClass>();
// I don't think you need a list of properties here since your VMFProperty class holds onto an array of properties
private VMFProperty properties;
// set the parent of this class
public void setParent (VMFClass parent)
{
this.parentClass = parent;
}
// get the direct children
public List<VMFClass> getChildren()
{
return this.children;
}
// rest of methods...
}
VMFParser
class VMFParser
{
private String rawfile = "";
// this is really the container for everything - think of it as the file shell
private VMFClass root = new VMFClass("root", null, null);
// construct yourself with the file
public VMFParser (String fileName)
{
this.rawfile = fileName;
}
public void parse ()
{
// all the parsing code goes here
read();
evaluate();
get();
// now at this point your hierarchy is built and stored in the
// root object in this class.
// Use the traverse method to go through it
}
private void get() throws VMFParsingException
{
// keep a reference to the current VMFClass parent
// starts out as root
VMFClass currParentClass = root;
// main parse loop
for (...)
{
// if you find a class
VMFClass currClass = new VMFClass(/* params here */);
// add this class to the parent
currParentClass.add(currClass);
// set the parent of this class
currClass.setParent(currParentClass);
// if you find a property
// parse and add all the properties to the property
VMFProperty property = new VMFProperty (/* value params here */);
// attach this property to the last VMF class that got parsed
currClass.setPoperties(property);
// If you nest deeper into classes, then the parent becomes the current class
currParentClass = currClass;
// If you go back out of a class
currParentClass = currClass.getParent();
}
}
// Traverse the hierarchy
public void traverse ()
{
traverseTree(root);
}
private void traverseTree (VMFClass root)
{
System.out.println("Class Name: " + root.getName());
// print out any properties
VMFProperty prop = root.getProperty();
if (prop != null)
{
System.out.println("Property Name: " + prop.getName());
String [] props = prop.getValues();
for (String s: props)
{
System.out.println("Value: " + s);
}
}
// get all child classes
List<VMFClass> children = root.getChildren();
for (VMFClass c: children)
{
traverseTree(c);
}
}
}
Client Code
Example
public static void main(String[] args)
{
VMFParser vmfParser = null;
try
{
vmfParser = new VMFParser("myFile.vmf");
vmfParser.parse();
// access the vmfParser for the hierarchy
vmfParser.traverse();
}
catch (VMFParsingException vpe)
{
// do something here
vpe.printStackTrace();
}
finally
{
// clean up...
}
}

How can I get a list of all the implementations of an interface programmatically in Java?

Hibernate gives a strange ClassCast exception (using Transformers)

This code:
#Override
public List<FactCodeDto> getAllFactsWithoutParentsAsFactDto() {
String completeQuery = FactCodeQueries.SELECT_DTO_FROM_FACT_WITH_NO_PARENTS;
Query query = createHibernateQueryForUnmappedTypeFactDto(completeQuery);
List<FactCodeDto> factDtoList = query.list(); //line 133
return factDtoList;
}
calling this method:
private Query createHibernateQueryForUnmappedTypeFactDto(String sqlQuery) throws HibernateException {
return FactCodeQueries.addScalars(createSQLQuery(sqlQuery)).setResultTransformer(Transformers.aliasToBean(FactCodeDto.class));
}
gives me a ClassCastException -> part of the trace:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.bamboomy.cjr.dto.FactCodeDto cannot be cast to java.util.Map
at org.hibernate.property.access.internal.PropertyAccessMapImpl$SetterImpl.set(PropertyAccessMapImpl.java:102)

at org.bamboomy.cjr.dao.factcode.FactCodeDAOImpl.getAllFactsWithoutParentsAsFactDto(FactCodeDAOImpl.java:133)
Which is pretty strange because, indeed, if you look up the source code of Hibernate it tries to do this:
#Override
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public void set(Object target, Object value, SessionFactoryImplementor factory) {
( (Map) target ).put( propertyName, value ); //line 102
}
Which doesn't make any sense...
target is of type Class and this code tries to cast it to Map,
why does it try to do that???
any pointers are more than welcome...
I'm using Hibernate 5 (and am upgrading from 3)...
edit: I also use Spring (4.2.1.RELEASE; also upgrading) which calls these methods upon deploy, any debugging pointers are most welcome as well...
edit 2: (the whole FactCodeDto class, as requested)

I found that AliasToBean has changed in Hibernate 5. For me adding getter for my field fixed the problem.

This exception occurs when the setters and getters are not mapped correctly to the column names.
Make sure you have the correct getters and setters for the query(Correct names and correct datatypes).
Read more about it here:
http://javahonk.com/java-lang-classcastexception-com-wfs-otc-datamodels-imagineexpirymodel-cannot-cast-java-util-map/

I do some investigation on this question. The problem is that Hibernate converts aliases for column names to upper case — cdFact becomesCDFACT.
Read for a more deeply explanation and workaround here:
mapping Hibernate query results to custom class?

In the end it wasn't so hard to find a solution,
I just created my own (custom) ResultTransformer and specified that in the setResultTransformer method:
private Query createHibernateQueryForUnmappedTypeFactDto(String sqlQuery) throws HibernateException {
return FactCodeQueries.addScalars(createSQLQuery(sqlQuery)).setResultTransformer(new FactCodeDtoResultTransformer());
//return FactCodeQueries.addScalars(createSQLQuery(sqlQuery)).setResultTransformer(Transformers.aliasToBean(FactCodeDto.class));
}
the code of the custom result transformer:
package org.bamboomy.cjr.dao.factcode;
import org.bamboomy.cjr.dto.FactCodeDto;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.List;
/**
* Created by a162299 on 3-11-2015.
*/
public class FactCodeDtoResultTransformer implements org.hibernate.transform.ResultTransformer {
#Override
public Object transformTuple(Object[] objects, String[] strings) {
FactCodeDto result = new FactCodeDto();
for (int i = 0; i < objects.length; i++) {
setField(result, strings[i], objects[i]);
}
return result;
}
private void setField(FactCodeDto result, String string, Object object) {
if (string.equalsIgnoreCase("cdFact")) {
result.setCdFact((String) object);
} else if (string.equalsIgnoreCase("cdFactSuffix")) {
result.setCdFactSuffix((String) object);
} else if (string.equalsIgnoreCase("isSupplementCode")) {
result.setIsSupplementCode((Boolean) object);
} else if (string.equalsIgnoreCase("isTitleCode")) {
result.setIsTitleCode((Boolean) object);
} else if (string.equalsIgnoreCase("mustBeFollowed")) {
result.setMustBeFollowed((Boolean) object);
} else if (string.equalsIgnoreCase("activeFrom")) {
result.setActiveFrom((Date) object);
} else if (string.equalsIgnoreCase("activeTo")) {
result.setActiveTo((Date) object);
} else if (string.equalsIgnoreCase("descFr")) {
result.setDescFr((String) object);
} else if (string.equalsIgnoreCase("descNl")) {
result.setDescNl((String) object);
} else if (string.equalsIgnoreCase("descDe")) {
result.setDescDe((String) object);
} else if (string.equalsIgnoreCase("type")) {
result.setType((String) object);
} else if (string.equalsIgnoreCase("idFact")) {
result.setIdFact((Long) object);
} else if (string.equalsIgnoreCase("idParent")) {
result.setIdParent((Long) object);
} else if (string.equalsIgnoreCase("isCode")) {
result.setIsCode((Boolean) object);
} else {
throw new RuntimeException("unknown field");
}
}
#Override
public List transformList(List list) {
return list;
}
}
in hibernate 3 you could set Aliasses to queries but you can't do that anymore in hibernate 5 (correct me if I'm wrong) hence the aliasToBean is something you only can use when actually using aliasses; which I didn't, hence the exception.

Im my case :
=> write sql query and try to map result to Class List
=> Use "Transformers.aliasToBean"
=> get Error "cannot be cast to java.util.Map"
Solution :
=> just put \" before and after query aliases
ex:
"select first_name as \"firstName\" from test"
The problem is that Hibernate converts aliases for column names to upper case or lower case

I solved it by defining my own custom transformer as given below -
import org.hibernate.transform.BasicTransformerAdapter;
public class FluentHibernateResultTransformer extends BasicTransformerAdapter {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 6825154815776629666L;
private final Class<?> resultClass;
private NestedSetter[] setters;
public FluentHibernateResultTransformer(Class<?> resultClass) {
this.resultClass = resultClass;
}
#Override
public Object transformTuple(Object[] tuple, String[] aliases) {
createCachedSetters(resultClass, aliases);
Object result = ClassUtils.newInstance(resultClass);
for (int i = 0; i < aliases.length; i++) {
setters[i].set(result, tuple[i]);
}
return result;
}
private void createCachedSetters(Class<?> resultClass, String[] aliases) {
if (setters == null) {
setters = createSetters(resultClass, aliases);
}
}
private static NestedSetter[] createSetters(Class<?> resultClass, String[] aliases) {
NestedSetter[] result = new NestedSetter[aliases.length];
for (int i = 0; i < aliases.length; i++) {
result[i] = NestedSetter.create(resultClass, aliases[i]);
}
return result;
}
}
And used this way inside the repository method -
#Override
public List<WalletVO> getWalletRelatedData(WalletRequest walletRequest,
Set<String> requiredVariablesSet) throws GenericBusinessException {
String query = getWalletQuery(requiredVariablesSet);
try {
if (query != null && !query.isEmpty()) {
SQLQuery sqlQuery = mEntityManager.unwrap(Session.class).createSQLQuery(query);
return sqlQuery.setResultTransformer(new FluentHibernateResultTransformer(WalletVO.class))
.list();
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
exceptionThrower.throwDatabaseException(null, false);
}
return Collections.emptyList();
}
It worked perfectly !!!

Try putting Column names and field names both in capital letters.

This exception occurs when the class that you specified in the AliasToBeanResultTransformer does not have getter for the corresponding columns. Although the exception details from the hibernate are misleading.

Printing all variables value from a class

I have a class with information about a Person that looks something like this:
public class Contact {
private String name;
private String location;
private String address;
private String email;
private String phone;
private String fax;
public String toString() {
// Something here
}
// Getters and setters.
}
I want toString() to return this.name +" - "+ this.locations + ... for all variables. I was trying to implement it using reflection as shown from this question but I can't manage to print instance variables.
What is the correct way to solve this?

From Implementing toString:
public String toString() {
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
String newLine = System.getProperty("line.separator");
result.append( this.getClass().getName() );
result.append( " Object {" );
result.append(newLine);
//determine fields declared in this class only (no fields of superclass)
Field[] fields = this.getClass().getDeclaredFields();
//print field names paired with their values
for ( Field field : fields ) {
result.append(" ");
try {
result.append( field.getName() );
result.append(": ");
//requires access to private field:
result.append( field.get(this) );
} catch ( IllegalAccessException ex ) {
System.out.println(ex);
}
result.append(newLine);
}
result.append("}");
return result.toString();
}

Why do you want to reinvent the wheel when there are opensource that are already doing the job pretty nicely.
Both apache common-langs and spring support some very flexible builder pattern
For apache, here is how you do it reflectively
#Override
public String toString()
{
return ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString(this);
}
Here is how you do it if you only want to print fields that you care about.
#Override
public String toString()
{
return new ToStringBuilder(this)
.append("name", name)
.append("location", location)
.append("address", address)
.toString();
}
You can go as far as "styling" your print output with non-default ToStringStyle or even customizing it with your own style.
I didn't personally try spring ToStringCreator api, but it looks very similar.

If you are using Eclipse, this should be easy:
1.Press Alt+Shift+S
2.Choose "Generate toString()..."
Enjoy! You can have any template of toString()s.
This also works with getter/setters.

Generic toString() one-liner, using reflection and style customization:
import org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.ReflectionToStringBuilder;
import org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.ToStringStyle;
...
public String toString()
{
return ReflectionToStringBuilder.toString(this, ToStringStyle.SHORT_PREFIX_STYLE);
}

When accessing the field value, pass the instance rather than null.
Why not use code generation here? Eclipse, for example, will generate a reasoble toString implementation for you.

Another simple approach is to let Lombok generate the toString method for you.
For this:
Simply add Lombok to your project
Add the annotation #ToString to the definition of your class
Compile your class/project, and it is done
So for example in your case, your class would look like this:
#ToString
public class Contact {
private String name;
private String location;
private String address;
private String email;
private String phone;
private String fax;
// Getters and setters.
}
Example of output in this case:
Contact(name=John, location=USA, address=SF, email=foo#bar.com, phone=99999, fax=88888)
More details about how to use the annotation #ToString.
NB: You can also let Lombok generate the getters and setters for you, here is the full feature list.

If the output from ReflectionToStringBuilder.toString() is not enough readable for you, here is code that:
1) sorts field names alphabetically
2) flags non-null fields with asterisks in the beginning of the line
public static Collection<Field> getAllFields(Class<?> type) {
TreeSet<Field> fields = new TreeSet<Field>(
new Comparator<Field>() {
#Override
public int compare(Field o1, Field o2) {
int res = o1.getName().compareTo(o2.getName());
if (0 != res) {
return res;
}
res = o1.getDeclaringClass().getSimpleName().compareTo(o2.getDeclaringClass().getSimpleName());
if (0 != res) {
return res;
}
res = o1.getDeclaringClass().getName().compareTo(o2.getDeclaringClass().getName());
return res;
}
});
for (Class<?> c = type; c != null; c = c.getSuperclass()) {
fields.addAll(Arrays.asList(c.getDeclaredFields()));
}
return fields;
}
public static void printAllFields(Object obj) {
for (Field field : getAllFields(obj.getClass())) {
field.setAccessible(true);
String name = field.getName();
Object value = null;
try {
value = field.get(obj);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException | IllegalAccessException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.printf("%s %s.%s = %s;\n", value==null?" ":"*", field.getDeclaringClass().getSimpleName(), name, value);
}
}
test harness:
public static void main(String[] args) {
A a = new A();
a.x = 1;
B b = new B();
b.x=10;
b.y=20;
System.out.println("=======");
printAllFields(a);
System.out.println("=======");
printAllFields(b);
System.out.println("=======");
}
class A {
int x;
String z = "z";
Integer b;
}
class B extends A {
int y;
private double z = 12345.6;
public int a = 55;
}

Addition with #cletus answer, You have to fetch all model fields(upper hierarchy) and set field.setAccessible(true) to access private members. Here is the full snippet:
#Override
public String toString() {
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
String newLine = System.getProperty("line.separator");
result.append(getClass().getSimpleName());
result.append( " {" );
result.append(newLine);
List<Field> fields = getAllModelFields(getClass());
for (Field field : fields) {
result.append(" ");
try {
result.append(field.getName());
result.append(": ");
field.setAccessible(true);
result.append(field.get(this));
} catch ( IllegalAccessException ex ) {
// System.err.println(ex);
}
result.append(newLine);
}
result.append("}");
result.append(newLine);
return result.toString();
}
private List<Field> getAllModelFields(Class aClass) {
List<Field> fields = new ArrayList<>();
do {
Collections.addAll(fields, aClass.getDeclaredFields());
aClass = aClass.getSuperclass();
} while (aClass != null);
return fields;
}
