json serialization

What is JSON

Json stands for JavaScript Object Notification. it represents data in object format so that javascript and understand it easily and manipulate it easily

it looks like as below:
[{"id":"83","text":"sales crescent"},{"id":"88","text":"sales grey bar"}]
 its just a simple array of two json object

keep in mind that, if you will find [] symbol it means it's a array of object. that means one or more then one json object may be there inside the space

like bellow
var mathTen = 
[{
"name": "Aniruddha Das",
"email": "someemailaddress@gmail.com
"valuepaids": [{"id":"83","text":"sales crescent"},{"id":"88","text":"sales grey bar"}]
}]

you can also iterate this object by using jQuery.each() ot any normal javascript loop.

here variable mathTen contain a array of json. again inside mathTen there valuepaids node which contains a array of json object.

there are ways to manipulate these json object hierarchy inside in side javascript code (i am not mentioning here as we can do that , i think so :) )

Where we need json serialization:

We need json serialization where we want to pass json from one place to another. like from one environment to another. like while sending json data from java/php/asp.net codes to javascript code thorugh ajax call.

Or sending json data as parameter from a dynamically created javascript function

But in some situations we need to create dynamic html codes and pass as json as as parameters if we are creating dynamic javascript functions in that like below
var yuyu = [{"id":"83","text":"sales crescent"},{"id":"88","text":"sales grey bar"}];
indObj=[{"id":"83","text":"sales crescent"}];


$("#divAllIndividuals")
            .append("+indObj[0].id+"','"+JSON.stringify(yuyu)+"','"+JSON.stringify(indObj)+"','"+indObj[0].text+"') title=\"Delete Entry\">\"");

there json variable (yuyu and indObj) will no more will be json in the called function if you will not serialize these function here. here the serialize concept come


what is json serialization:

Json serialization is nothing but it convert json object to string so that you can easily send that string from one environment to another or you can pass that string as parameter from a dynamically created javascript function.

Use of json serialization:

to serialize a json object we can use JSON.stringify() as we did in the above created dynamically created javascript function. this function will convert json object to string.

Again we have to deserialize the json object string in the called function  (if we are calling in as parameter in dynamic javascript function) or if we are receiving it from other language like java/php/asp.net.

to deserilize json object string we need to call JSON.parse(); it will again convert josn object string to json object so that we can use json nodes in your program.

var indObj = $.parseJSON(jsonpassedvariablehere);


that it. now you can send json data from anywhere in your program and can use that anywhere in your program by serialize and deserialize the objects

What is the difference between visibility:hidden and display:none


visibility:hidden and display:none are not synonims.

display:none means that the the tag in question will not appear on the page at all (although you can still interact with it through the dom). There will be no space allocated for it between the other tags. 


Visibility:hidden means that unlike display:none, the tag is not visible, but space is allocated for it on the page. so for example

JSON: creating json in java and rendering javascript (JAVA string to JSON in javascript)

java string to json in javascript:


This is a common problem while we are transferring data from one technology to other technology. Specially encoding and decoding are concern while different format of data is required in different environment.

In my current piece of work i was required to create a JSON string in java and pass it to view (jsp) page where with the help of JavaScript (jQuery) data render need to perform.

common problem face

  • How to create a json data string in core java classes.
  • how to transfer json data from java to jsp 
  • How to convert normal java string to json object in javascript.  

Java does not understand json so for creating json in java various library are available. I picked simplest way like, I created a java string as like as json data and pass that string to the javascript. In the javascript end i converted that java string in to javascript string (by adding a null string like;var newval =  ""+strVariable). then with the help of jQuery.parseJSON() i converted it to the json object and renders. Below is the code which will describe in the details.

Ajax call from JSP:



       $(document).ready(function () {
        $.ajax({
        method:"GET",
        url: "user-struts action.action",
        //data: "variableifany="+$("#variableifany").val(),
        success: function(dataUser) {
//converting java string to javascript sting
//by adding null string ("") to the returned java string
        var yuyu = $.parseJSON(""+dataUser);
//simple testing of json object by calling jquery each function
$.each(yuyu, function(key, val) {
alert(val["id"]+"-"+val["text"]);
});
         
                     $("#divtoplace").select2({
                    multiple: true,
                       query: function (query){
                         var data = {results: []};
                         $.each(yuyu, function(){
                             if(query.term.length == 0 || this.text.toUpperCase().indexOf(query.term.toUpperCase()) >= 0 ){
                                 data.results.push({id: this.id, text: this.text });
                             }
                         });
                         query.callback(data);
                     }
                    });
         
        },
   error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown){
       alert("errorThrown="+errorThrown+
        '----zipcodesuccessError=' + textStatus+"----response text = "+XMLHttpRequest.responseText);
   }
        });


JAVA class code: 

String userJson = "[";
                map= new userList().users();
for (Map.Entry entry : map.entrySet()) {
userJson += "{ \"id\": \""+entry.getKey()+"\", \"text\": \""+entry.getValue()+"\" },";
}
userJson = userJson.substring(0, userJson.length()-1)+"]";
System.out.println("jsodata="+userJson);
inputStream=new StringBufferInputStream(userJson);
return SUCCESS;



Important points to remember:

  • while creating json string in java do remember to match the json format like 
  • do remember to convert from java string to javascript string
  • now parse the javascript string to json object.
  • now your json object is ready to user.

Setting java, java_home path for all users in unix

Setting java, java_home path for all users in unix

 
first check if there is a path set in /etc/profile file...
other wise you can set
 
Set JAVA_HOME / PATH for all user:


You need to setup global config in /etc/profile OR /etc/bash.bashrc file for all users:
# vi /etc/profile
Next setup PATH / JAVA_PATH variables as follows:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_07/bin
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_07/bin

Save and close the file. Once again you need to type the following command to activate the path settings immediately:
# source /etc/profile

Agile Scrum Sprint

In product development, a scrum sprint is a set period of time during which specific work has to be completed and made ready for review.

Each sprint begins with a planning meeting. During the meeting, the product owner (the person requesting the work) and the development team agree upon exactly what work will be accomplished during the sprint. The development team has the final say when it comes to determining how much work can realistically be accomplished during the sprint, and the product owner has the final say on what criteria needs to be met for the work to be approved and accepted.

The duration of a sprint is determined by the scrum master or development team owner, the team's facilitator. Once the team reaches a consensus for how many days a sprint should last, all future sprints should be the same. Traditionally, a sprint lasts 30 days.

After a sprint begins, the product owner must step back and let the team do their work. During the sprint, the team holds daily stand up meeting to discuss progress and brainstorm solutions to challenges. The project owner may attend these meetings as an observer but is not allowed to participate unless it is to answer questions. The project owner may not make requests for changes during a sprint and only the scrum master has the power to interrupt or stop the sprint.


At the end of the sprint, the team presents its completed work to the project owner and the project owner uses the criteria established at the sprint planning meeting to either accept or reject the work.

Difference Between cursor and ref cursor


Difference Between cursor and ref cursor:


Ref cursor are variable of type cursor. Once you will declare a Ref cursore you can place any cursor in that ref cousor. In short words you can say ref cursors are holder of of any type of cursor.

if you will see the below code rc is a ref cursor and c is a cursor. rc is opened with different sql queries later but c (normal cursor) which is fixed.

other differences are there also.

> ref cursors can sent to the client. in word of java you can say ref cursors are result sets you can pass to other sub programs
>you cannot declare ref cursor out side procedure.
> A ref cursor can be passed to subroutine to subroutine but normal cursors cannot passed.


Important difference is that 

Static sql (not using a ref cursor) is much more efficient then using ref cursors and that use of ref cursors should be limited to 

-  when returning result sets to clients

 - when there is NO other efficient/effective means of achieving the goal






Declare
   type rc is ref cursor;
   
   cursor c is select * from dual;

   l_cursor rc;
begin
   if ( to_char(sysdate,'dd') = 30 ) then
     open l_cursor for 'select * from emp';
   elsif ( to_char(sysdate,'dd') = 29 ) then
     open l_cursor for select * from dept;
   else
     open l_cursor for select * from dual;
   end if;
   open c;
end;
