Convert Map String, Object to Map Object, Object

is there any way to convert a map of type Map<String, Object> to a map of type Map<Object, Object>? I tried casting it did not work

You can also take the long way around:
    Map<Object, Object> map = (Map<Object, Object>)buildMapObject(
      new String[] { "1", "2", "3" },
      new Object[] { new Integer(1), new Integer(100), new Integer(1000) });
public Object buildMapObject(String[] s, Object[] o) {
    Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>();
// Populate map from arguments
    return map;
}Though why you'd want to do that is beyond me.

How to create a xml file from String object in CS4

Hi All,
I want to convert a string object into an XML file using Javascript in Indesign CS4.
I have done the following script. But it does not convert the namespaces for the xml elements with no value in it.
var xml = new XML(string);
The value present in string is "<level_1 xsi:nil="true" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"/>"
When it is converted to xml, the value becomes "<level_1 xsi:nil="true"/>"
On processing the above xml object, am getting an error like this "Uncaught JavaScript exception: Unbound namespace prefix."
Kindly help.
Thanks,
Anitha

Can you post more of the script?
Are you getting the XML file from disk, or a string?

Hi,
I have date as string object "22/04/2008". I want convert this string object to Date object as specified format (dd/MM/yyyy) only.

I tried as follows

System.out.println("dateObj::::" + dateObj);
Output : Mon Apr 21 00:00:00 IST 2008 A date object is always a wrapper around a millisecond value. It does not contain any formatting information, so you should never print a Date object. You should always convert it to a String using SimpleDateFormat before you print.

Conver String object into char

Hi friends,
I don't know how convert the String object into char(Primitive data type), using wrapper class?
Kindly let me know.

Have a look in the String API documentation for a method that returns an array of char.
(It's not really what most people would describe as a wrapper class: that's more like converting a single char into an instance of Character.)

Convert Map String, Object to Map String,String ?

How can I convert a map say;
Map<String, Object> map = new Map<Striing, Object>();
map.put("value", "hello");
to a Map<String,String>.
I want to pass the map to another method which is expecting Map<String,String>.
Thanks

Oh wait, no, we're not! We're back to my original reply:
What do you want and/or expect to happen if one of the values isn't actually a String object but something else?Nothing like a bit of confusion :). They are and always will be String objects.
So this external method, call it external1 for now returns a Map<String, Object>, I then want to pass this map to another external method external2 which takes Map <String,String> as a parameter.

The output sholud be june 2008,Dec 2008, Mar 2009. ie according to the increase order of monthsThat doesn't make it any clearer, in the example "June 2008" and "Mar 2009" are in the same map. Do you want that map to appear both before and after "Dec 2008" which doesn't make sense or are you expecting to restructure the data. If so, I would suggest you use a SortedMap like;
List<Map<String,Object>> maps = ...
SortedMap<String, Object> results = new TreeMap<String, Object>(dateComparator);
for(Map<String, Object> map: maps)
results.putAll(map);BTW: is there any good reason your dates are Strings instead of Date objects which are much easier to sort?

Converting Base64 encoded String to String object

Hi,
Description:
I have a Base64 encoded string and I am using this API for it,
[ http://ws.apache.org/axis/java/apiDocs/org/apache/axis/encoding/Base64.html]
I am simply trying to convert it to a String object.
Problem:
When I try and write the String, ( which is xml ) as a XMLType to a oracle 9i database I am getting a "Cannot map Unicode to Oracle character." The root problem is because of the conversion of the base64 encoded string to a String object. I noticed that some weird square characters show up at the start of the string after i convert it. It seems like I am not properly converting to a String object. If i change the value of the variable on the fly and delete these little characters at the start, I don't get the uni code error. Just looking for a second thought on this.
Code: Converting Base64 Encoded String to String object
public String decodeToString( String base64String )
byte[] decodedByteArray = Base64.decode( base64String );
String decodedString = new String( decodedByteArray, "UTF-8");
}Any suggestions?

To answer bigdaddy's question and clairfy a bit more:
Constraints:
1. Using a integrated 3rd party software that expects a Base64 encoded String and sends back a encoded base64 String.
2. Using JSF
3. Oracle 10g database and storing in a XMLType column.
Steps in process.
1. I submit my base64 encoded String to this 3rd party software.
2. The tool takes the encoded string and renders a output that works correctly. The XML can be modified dynamically using this tool.
3. I have a button that is binded to my jsf backing bean. When that button is clicked, the 3rd party tool sets a backing bean string value with the Base64 String representing the updated XML.
4. On the backend in my jsf backing bean, i attempt to decode it to string value to store in the oracle database as a XML type. Upon converting the byte[] array to a String, i get this conversion issue.
Possibly what is happen is that the tool is sending me a different encoding that is not UTF-8. I thought maybe there was a better way of doing the decoding that i wasn't looking at. I will proceed down that path and look at the possibility that the tool is sending back a different encoding then what it should. I was just looking for input on doing the byte[] decoding.
Thanks for the input though.

"Property value is not valid" when PropertyGridView tries to convert a string to a custom object type.

Hi,
I have a problem with an PropertyGrid enum property that uses a type converter.
In general it works, but when I double clicking or using the scoll wheel, an error message appears:
"Property value is not valid"
Details: "Object of type 'System.String' cannot be converted to type 'myCompany.myProject.CC_myCustomProperty."
I noticed that the CommitValue method (in PropertyGridView.cs) tries to convert a string value to a CC_myCustomProperty object.
Here is the code that causes the error (see line 33):
(Using the .net symbols from the PropertyGridView.cs file)
1
        internal bool CommitValue(GridEntry ipeCur, object value) {
2

            Debug.WriteLineIf(CompModSwitches.DebugGridView.TraceVerbose,  "PropertyGridView:CommitValue(" + (value==null ? "null" :value.ToString()) + ")");

            int propCount = ipeCur.ChildCount;

            bool capture = Edit.HookMouseDown;

24
                    //from the editor, without having it close every time.

                    if (ipeCur != null &&
26
                        ipeCur.Enumerable) {

43
                    return false;

I'm stuck.
I was wondering is there a way to work around this? Maybe extend the string converter class to accept this?
Thanks in advance,

How to convert a string into an objects name?

Hi
I have the following problem;
I have a string
String a = "e1"
and a method
call(Event e1) that calls the "Event" class with object the name of the string a.
How can I convert the strings name into an object so as to use it in the "call" method?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I don't know if this helps you, but you can do things like this.
String a = "com.example.SomeEvent";
//Instantiate com.example.SomeEvent
Object o = Class.forName(a).newInstance();SomeEvent must have a non-argument constructor for this to work.
Class that will be instantiated depens on runtime value of String a, and can be different across different executions of the program.

How Do I Convert a String that Names an Object to a Reference to the Object

You get many program-specific object names in the XML that is returned by describeType. Suppose I find an object that interests me. What is the best way to convert the String that names the object (e.g. the id of the object) to a reference variable that points to the object?

Sure. I am working on a complex application that involves several ViewStacks, several Accordions, some checkboxes, some radio buttons, some text boxes. These components are scattered about, but all are children of a base class that is successfully enumerated by
var classInfo:XML = describeType(vwstk);
Suppose I write a loop as follows:
for each (var a:XML in classInfo..accessor){
Inside that loop I have a series of tests like
if (a.@type == "mx.controls::CheckBox"{
Then, I iterate thru all of the children of the base class as in:
for
(var u:Object in vwstk)
{ if
Inside the if I persist the checked/not checked status of the checkbox.
The tricky part is going from the string a.@name to the Object reference u. I doubt my proposed method will work. Do you have a better idea?

Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string

Dear all,
Im very new in PHP development and trying to consume a ASP.NET webservice.
This is my code:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>New Document</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<?php
require_once('lib/nusoap.php');
$soap = new SoapClient('https://testsoap.test.nl:446/Service1.asmx?wsdl');
try {
    $result = $soap->testPhp();
    echo "$result";
} catch (SoapFault $e) {
    echo "Error: {$e->faultstring}";
?>
</BODY></HTML>
When running this, im getting this error:
PHP Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string . on line 14.
And this is line 14 in my code:
echo "$result";
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks

Without knowing what version of PHP you are using and also there does not seem to be an SAP angle, have you tried var_dump() instead of echo.
e.g. var_dump($result);

Converting an array of char to a String object

let's say i have an extremely long character array of 1 million chars and store a text file to it. is it safe to cast the character array into a String object? if not, what is a safe way to convert it to a String? I need to search through the String and create substrings and stuff. Thanks you!

HOMEWORK ALERT HOMEWORK ALERT
You can't cast from a character to a String. That doesn't work.
However, in a fit of being helpful.
Look at the constructors for the String object in the API
Link ===> http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#String(char[])
char[] charA = {'H', 'E', 'L', 'L', 'O', ' ', 'W', 'O', 'R', 'L', 'D' } ;
String a = new String(charA) ;
System.out.println(a) ;There's a price for my help, and it's this. Now that you understand what you can do, is it a good idea or a bad idea and why ???

Converting a String to an Object

Is there some way of converting a String (from a textfield) to an Object? What I want is something similar to the functionality offerred by a JTable. This is because I want the user to be able to input a value of any type to the textfield (e.g. String, int, boolean, etc) and get its object representation ...
Would a simple cast do ?
David

dattard,
A string is an object, when someone enters something into a JTextField, REGARDLESS of what it is (int, double, string, etc) it is stored in the string text in that text field (JTextField.getText()).
So if someone enters in "123", its the STRING 123, not the number one hundred and twenty three... to GET the number 123, you'll need to do something like:
int value = Integer.parseInt( myTextField.getText() );
to have the string parsed for the value, if you want a double, same idea:
double value = Double.parseDouble( myTextField.getText() );
NOTE: The number wrapper classes (Integer, Double, Float, etc.) contain "parseXXXX" methods that allow you to parse a corresponding numeric value out of a String object.
Also, when a user enters ANYTHING into a text input field of any type, its ALWAYS a String, if you want a different version of what they entered, its up to you to parse it and decide what it was.

Converting a string to Class object and calling its method

I have recently moved to Java and I need help on this specific issue given below.
I have to do this :
ValModule1 val1 = new ValModule1();
ValModule2 val2 = new ValModule2();
if(val1.checkModule(xmlDocument)){
$i++;
There are many ValModule* classes and they all have the method called checkModule in them. I need to instantiate each class and run the checkMethod which returns true or false. My problem is that I am trying to get the name of the module (if it is ValModule1 or 2 or 3) from the user. What I get from the user is the name of the class for which I should call checkModule method on.
how can I convert this string validationname given by the user and instantiate that class and call the method?
I have tried this:
String str="c:/xpathtest/src/Plugin_Config.xml";
File xmlDocument = new File(str);
String cls = "ValModule1"; // assuming this is what the user gave me
Class t = Class.forName("ValModule1");
Object o = t.newInstance();
After that if I try
if(o.checkModule(xmlDocument)){
$i++;
It gives me an error saying that it is not an existing method
cannot resolve symbol
[javac] symbol : method checkModule (java.io.File)
[javac] location: class java.lang.Object
[javac] if(o.checkModule(xmlDocument)){
[javac] ^
[javac] 1 error
Can you please let me know where I am screwing up :-) ? If you need me to put both the programs I can do that too. Thanks in Anticipation

Define an interface containing the method all your classes have in common, cast the Object reference returned by newInstance to that interface, then you can call that method.
