Custom Annotation Reader

Hi,
I'm trying to following Kohsuke Kawaguchi advise from here
[http://weblogs.java.net/blog/kohsuke/archive/2007/01/mapping_the_sam.html] and implement my own AnnotationReader, in order to map the same POJOs to different XML representations in JAXB.
However, when writing a class that implements AnnotationReader or extends AbstractInlineAnnotationReaderImpl i'm getting an error during javac compilation saying that the class cannot be accessed.
I googled around and found few places saying that rt.jar classes are not aviable during javac compilation (see for example here - proper way to access classes in rt.jar not contained in ct.sym ).
What is the proper way to do it? should i really use -XDignore.symbol.file?
Thanks in advance,
Moshe

Simple example of a custom annotation    for log

Please help me write me my custom annotations. I like to use them to provide log ,security etc . I did not find articles where I can write my annotation to change the behaviour. Suppoe I decare annotation on a method , I want jvm to call code in my annotation where I can control the behaviour of the method similar to aop stuff ,
here is what i need
MyClass {
@MyCustomAnnotation
   void myMethod(){
}now I want MyCustomAnnotation to log that this method is begin called can I do this ?

I can think of only one way to do something like this, and it's messy:
Let's say your code looks like this:
public class MyClass
    @MyLogging
    public void myMethod(String arg)
}Have your @MyLogging annotation processing generate a new Class source that extends your original class and overrides the methods that you've annotated with code that looks something like this:
public class MyClassGenerated extends MyClass
   Log log = ... // create a logger
    @Override
    public void myMethod(String arg)
        log.info("myMethod called");
        super.myMethod(arg);
}Now you'll have to change your code to use MyClassGenerated instead of MyClass, which presents its own problems... you may be able to add in some kind of factory mechanism or something to make that work easier.

PDF Custom Annotations Types?

Can some kind reader comment and/or point to documentation on PDF's Custom Annotation Types?
I was first introduced to those by Aandi Inston's reply to my "Click to Dial Plugin" posting.
Unfortunately, such posting seems to have been pulled (lost?, relocated?, bitbucketed?) from the forum.
My objective is to programmatically insert several links of different types in my PDF files. I intend to have a type for voice phone numbers, another for fax numbers, and yet another company or client ID, etc.
The part below refers to a plugin (to be written).
Later on, when the user clicks on a phone number, a call will be placed, clicks on a fax number will result in the document being faxed, while a click on an ID will result on a database lookup.
I don't want to go through the hassle of studying the page's geometry to determine whether a phone number is voice or fax. I am just looking for a way to mark the different links, giving each one of them a type, which will be passed to the plugin upon a link being clicked.
I recall that Aandi's explanation made an exact match for my application, but as I said before, his posting is gone.

Perhaps the use Custom Annotation Types (CAT) is an overkill? It seems that when a CAT is defined, an annotation handler has to be registered, and such handler provides the drawing. In my case I don't need any custom drawing. I just need to mark somehow the different links, assigning a type to each.
Thanks for sharing your expertise, and helping the PDF format to become more useful and widespread...

Adding link to custom annotation.

Hi all...
I am developing a plugin that stamps custom annotation to a pdf file.
I would like to add a link to it by adding another annotation of type 'link' just above it.
But the link is not working when it is above my custom annotation.
(When it is not above the custom annotation this URI link is working fine.)
I also tried with Acrobat 9 Pro's link tool. The link provided by this tool
is also not working when it is above my custom annotation. Is this a bug in
Acrobat or due to some reason is this not recognizing by custom annotation?
But in both above cases the link (made from my plugin and Acrobat's tool) are get
selected and active temporarily on tab press.
Please help me to set link annotation on a custom annotation.
Regards
Sudhin.
I

But when i changed my stamp Subtype to 'Stamp'(Subtype of rubber stamp)
i could able to add link to my stamp.Then why i couldn't add link to a custom stamp.
If acrobat could place the link on top of rubber stamp(Subtype :Stamp), can anybody say how they
implement this. The same implementation may help my custom annotation to add link above it.

Running custom annotations from ant

I know this may be the wrong forum for such a question but figured someone ,ight have done it b4 and will not mind telling me
I want to know how to run my custom annotation processor from an ant build script.
I can run it from commanline but i dont know the ant targets fro doing it

Vikas:
Can you help me with this one too.....
I am trying to add a custom page in iproc. According to the dev guide I should use the same AM that iproc uses. so I used ShoppingAM provided by Oracle. I extended it and created my own Am called DKSearchAM. But when I try to run the page from Jdev I get the following error messages.
I brought ShoppingAM.xml file from the server and added it to my project and then updated it to create ShoppingAMImpl.java file.
Please help!!!!!!!!
I get the following error:

Creating custom annotations (Singleton)

Hi,
Am bit out date of java so that's why I am posting this;
Actually I want to write my custom annotation of Singleton like,
*@Singleton*
Class Spooler {
so now when this annotation is applied on any class will become a singleton by automatically providing the Spooler::getInstence() method (donno may be at runtime or compiletime)
and if user tries to declare the public constructor then there should be a compile time error that @Singleton is applied so the constructor should not be public.
Am I asking a correct thing regarding the annotations or am already lost due to being outdate
thanks in advance
Edited by: user10657941 on Jun 15, 2011 12:18 AM

What would be the advantage over using the simpler enum singleton?
enum Spooler {
INSTANCE;
}An enum type automatically ensures that only the instances listed are created.

Custom Annotation :: inject object at runtime

I would like develop a custom annotation to inject object at runtime. The annotation will work as follows
1. develop ValidatorClass annotation on type.
2. If annotated on a type object will be created at runtime and injected to the object. e.g. in class A it will inject validatorimpl object to vald object/
Please let me know how to implement that.
package com.debopam.validate
public interface validator{
public String validate();
package com.debopam.validate
public class validatorimpl implements validator{
public String validate(){
   return "true";
pckage com.debopam
public class A{
@ValidatorClass(name="com.debopam.validate.validatorimpl")
validator vald;
}

yogeshd,
It might be that the .class file for the annotation that you are compiling against is the one you have given us the source code for above, but when you run the program, the class file for the annotation is not the same, and is one that was compiled before you added the static field.
This can happen if your classpath is wrong. (and would explain why the problem only occurs sometimes - because it is only failing when the classpath is wrong).
If you run the following program with the Fully qualified name of your annotation as the argument, and with the same classpath as you run your program, it can tell you where it is finding the annotation class file. Check that this is the same one that you are compiling to.
class WhereLoaded {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Class theClass=null;
        if(args.length > 0) {
            try {
                theClass=Class.forName(args[0]);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
                theClass=Object.class;
        } else {
            System.out.println(
                "The first argument should be a fully qualified class name," +
                " using java.lang.Object instead"
            theClass=Object.class;
        String name=theClass.getName();
        name=name.substring(name.lastIndexOf(".")+1) + ".class";
        System.out.println(name + " loaded from " + theClass.getResource(name));

Limit to Custom Screen Reader Text for 508 Compliance

I am converting forms for a government Agency. The forms must be Section 508 compliant. Some pages of the forms are full pages of instructional text. I am using a single field to contain all of the accessibility text so that I can control the flow of information through the tab order with limited additional tabbing from the original version. I am adding all of the text in a Jaws friendly format into the Custom Screen Reader Text field under the Accessibility tab in the Object window. When I test the form, Jaws stops reading the Accessibility text about 980 characters in. The only way to get it to read the text in its entirety is to use the down arrow key, which forces the Jaws reader to read it line by line. This is not desirable. Has anyone else experienced this? Why is there a seemingly arbitrary limit to how much Accessibility text that can be passed to Jaws?
I am using Livecycle 7.1 and testing in Acrobat Professional 7 and Adobe Reader 8 with Dynamic PDF 7.0.5.

An associate in the field told me this is not a problem with Adobe's product. Rather it is a problem with Jaws. Apparently he has the same problem with Jaws and IBM Workplace Forms.

VCenter 5 Alerts with custom Annotations

Hello,
I want to be able to create alerts with the use of SCOM and VCenter's PowerCLI. Has anyone been able to achieve this?
Essentially I want to tie into VCenter's console, and grab the custom annotations define by the user, and feed the custom annotations back into the SCOM generated alert.
Suggestions? Thanks.

Hi,
You can build a pack that leverages powercli for discovery and monitoring.At least you could use powercli to check for vcenter alerts and bring them to scom.

Custom Annotation showing Error: is missing clinit

Hi!
I have created some custom annotations for use in my project. Sometimes they show error: is missing <clinit> and sometimes they don't. I'm confused. If I create a jar and use that jar in another project this error appears at compiletime .
Here is the source of one of my custom annotations....
import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;
* User: yogeshd
* Date: Mar 30, 2007
* Time: 10:54:31 AM
@Constraint
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target(ElementType.FIELD)
public @interface ConstraintMaxIntValue {
public Validator validator = new MaxIntValidator();
int value() default 0;
The strange thing is that this error doesnot appears all the time...
If anyone can explain the reason I will be enlightened. ;) thnx.

Making a Custom Annotation similar to @Deprecated

I want to make an annotation for a method (and annotation processor) that at compile-time will throw a custom warning/error if a user ever uses the annotated method during compile time.
Currently I have a way to throw a warning/error at the declaration of the method, but not at the method's use.
I'd like it to only throw an error at a usage of the method. I'm thinking i may have to do some tricky stuff with reflection, but I'd like to know if annotations already have some way to do this (I can't find any after several searches).
I'm hoping that it is easy, since @Deprecated already does a similar thing (errors at use, not declaration)
Here's my code at the moment (again, it causes errors for the declarations of the methods, not the uses).
A) The actual annotation
package unsupported;
import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.SOURCE)
@Target({ ElementType.METHOD})
public @interface Unsupported {
}B) The annotation processor
package unsupported;
import java.util.Set;
import javax.annotation.processing.AbstractProcessor;
import javax.annotation.processing.ProcessingEnvironment;
import javax.annotation.processing.RoundEnvironment;
import javax.annotation.processing.SupportedAnnotationTypes;
import javax.lang.model.element.Element;
import javax.lang.model.element.TypeElement;
import javax.tools.Diagnostic.Kind;
@SupportedAnnotationTypes("unsupported.Unsupported")
public class UnsupportedProcessor extends AbstractProcessor {
    private ProcessingEnvironment env;
    @Override
    public synchronized void init(ProcessingEnvironment procEnv) {
        this.env = procEnv;
    @Override
    public boolean process(Set<? extends TypeElement> annotations, RoundEnvironment roundEnv) {
        if (!roundEnv.processingOver()) {
            for (TypeElement myTypeElement : annotations) {
                final Set< ? extends Element> elements = roundEnv.getElementsAnnotatedWith(myTypeElement);
                for (Element elt : elements) {
                    env.getMessager().printMessage(Kind.ERROR,
                            String.format("%s : The Following Element is Unsupported: %s"
                            + "\nThe Compiler will now exit. \n\n", roundEnv.getRootElements(), elt),
                            myTypeElement);
        return true;
}I then compile these 2 files into a JAR, along with the folder: "META_INF/services" that has the file: "javax.annotation.processing.Processor", with 1 line of text giving the path to the processor: "unsupported.UnsupportedProcessor" (this lets javac know to use the processor at compile time)
I can then import this jar to my libraries and use the @Unsupported annotation like this:
class OtherClass1
   @Unsupported
   public void unsupportedmethod()
      System.out.println("hi1") ;
}Then, when compiling the above code i get this:
error: [OtherClass1] : The Following Element is Unsupported: unsupportedmethod()
The Compiler will now exit. Any ideas on how i can modify this to only throw an error when the method is used?
Thanks,
- JT

Hi,
I read your blog. The solution that you provided in the blog is creating new Assignment Block and integrate it in BT application on the UI level. The data is populated from the UI by calling Function Module and fill the value context node.
This will not propagate to GenIL, therefore you will not see any thing on GenIL layer, because there is no integration on GenIL layer.
The approach needs to be the other way around. Your approach is make something available in UI and you want to propagate it to backend(GenIL). The value node that you created in the UI is not dependent object. It is only a context node which is only available in UI. The right approach is you make the dependent object on the backend(GenIL) and than you propagate the dependent object to the UI.
You can try transaction EEWB to create custom table for BT application and this will generate for you also the dependent object on the GenIL layer. This solution provided by EEWB has also a generic assignment block that displays the generated dependent object and show it in BT overview page. To see the generic assignment block from BT you can open the component BT_GEN_EXT.

Steve

Help on Custom Annotation Mapping between @CustomAnno and ResultSet Mapping

Hi,
I am working on a DAO which has getter and setter methods and annotation of the Database Table Column Name.
Class UserDao {
@CustomAnnotation(value="FIRST_NAME")
String firstName
CREATE TABLE USER(
FIRST_NAME VARCHAR(30)
Question
1. I am planning to create a generic implementation where the when i give the Result Set and Dao name it should fill the Dao automatically. I was using Reflection but was wondering is any better way to handel this?
I am using JDK 1.6 and i am not sure why JDBC 4.0 (which says its part of JDK 1.6) has no DataSet api's.
Any ideas are very helpful.
Thanks..,

Far as I know annotations do not magically produce code. You must use them in something else which understands the annotations and the intent. I didn't see you mentioning anything like that. I am rather certain that there are existing consumers (of annotations) that do that and you can create your own.
Also, again as far as I know, you don't really have a "DAO" there, but rather a DTO.

Custom header reading of bounce mail

Hi,
When I send a mail to invalid mail address on gmail server, form the bounce mail able to read the custom headers using javax.mail api.
But when I send mail to invalid user on MS Exchange server, from the bounce mail I got, not able to read the custom headers using javax.mail. But the outlook shows (by looking at the option) the custom header is present. I think I may be missing some configuration while reading the mail from mail server using javax.mail. and not reading all the headers. (but its working with other email servers like gmail)

First, you need to understand that it's up to the
destination server what it returns, if anything, when
you send a message to an invalid address.
In this case, if sounds like the destination server has
returned a message that includes all the headers
you want to see, but you can only see them using
Outlook and not when using JavaMail.
Note that Outlook typically uses a Microsoft proprietary
protocol to talk to Exchange, so it's possible for it to
see and do things that are not possible using the
standard internet protocols that JavaMail uses.
You'll probably need to consult an Exchange expert
to see if there are configuration options that control
what information it makes available to internet
protocol clients in this case.

What webbased tools can I use to create a custom PDF Reader Web App?

I want to build a webtool that allows user to view PDFs but I also want to add my own toolbar to allow users to do some custom things to the document like select text and return that text to the webapp (built with AJAX). Or maybe insert a bookmark or open multiple PDF documents in multiple windows to compare them.
What tools do I need to build something like this???
Thanks!

I've seen it done with Flex, which means in theory it should work with AIR as well.
However, the Acrobat SDK would be way out of range for this. You are not allowed to install Acrobat on a web server (section 2.3 of the EULA), so it would have to be entirely separate from the Acrobat SDK, since the SDK is nothing and does nothing without Acrobat installed.
EDIT: Actually, I believe it was using FlashPaper, not a direct PDF-in-Flash render.

Make the Custom page read only depending

Hello all,
Is there anyway to make a custom page readyonly for some users? I know we can set rendered to false for each region but i'm wondering if we have a property for the whole page.
Thanks
KK

Hi KK,
Is it a 11i or R12
if it is R12 it is easy just passing the region where you want to make it read only or for the entire page, pass the top level region.
If it is 11i, you need to copy paste the sample code and call it from your Process request after you did the user check.
Btw, instead of user check, create a responsibility and assign that responsibility to those users and check for that responsibility to avoid any hard code in User list side.
Check this thread and if you are not able to make it, please update the issue you face.
