Parse an "inputted" url string

I am simply trying to parse a URL for a particular value
without going through len(), left(), right(), findnocase() hell.
Can anyone please tell me how? I feel like I'm missing some obvious
function.
Example:
I only want the value of (v).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHMZa7Qb8XI&feature=yva-title

if v is always the first parameter in the query string, then
you can use
cf list functions to get its value:
<cfset url = "
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHMZa7Qb8XI&feature=yva-title">
<cfset v_value = listgetat(url, 2, "=")>
if it is in varying positions in the query string, you'll
need a regexp
to get its value. i am not big on regexp, so will let someone
else chime
in with correct code...

Japanese Characters working as URL parameters, turning to question marks when in URL string itself

I'm having some trouble getting coldfusion to see japanese
characters in the URL string.
To clarify, if I have something like this:
http://my.domain.com/index.cfm?categorylevel0=Search&categorylevel1=%E3%82%A2%E3%82%B8%E3% 82%A2%E3%83%BB%E3%83%93%E3%82%B8%E3%83%8D%E3%82%B9%E9%96%8B%E7%99%BA
All of my code works correctly and the server is able to pass
the japanese characters to the database and retrieve the correct
data.
If I have this instead:
http://my.domain.com/index.cfm/Search/%E3%82%A2%E3%82%B8%E3%82%A2%E3%83%BB%E3%83%93%E3%82% B8%E3%83%8D%E3%82%B9%E9%96%8B%E7%99%BA
My script (which works fine with English characters) parses
CGI variables and converts these to the same URL parameters that I
had in the first URL using a loop and a CFSET url.etc..
In the first example, looking at the CF debug info shows me
what I expect to see:
URL Parameters:
CATEGORYLEVEL0=Search
CATEGORYLEVEL1=アジア・ビジネス開発
In the second example it shows me this:
URL Parameters:
CATEGORYLEVEL0=Search
CATEGORYLEVEL1=???·??????
Can anyone suggest means for debugging this? I'm not sure if
this is a CF problem, an IIS problem, a JRUN problem or something
else altogether that causes it to lose the characters if they are
in the URL string but NOT as a parameter.

My suggestion was that you test with the
first url, not the second. However, I can see a source of
confusion. I overlooked your delimiter, "/". It should be "?" and
"=" in this case. With these modifications, we get
<cfif Len(cgi.query_string) neq 0>
<cfset i = 1>
<cfloop list="#cgi.query_string#" delimiters="&"
index="currentcatname">
<cfoutput>categorylevel#i# =
#ListGetAt(currentcatname,2,"=")#</cfoutput><br>
<cfset i = i + 1>
</cfloop>
If it is a failing of Coldfusion, the above test should fail,
too.
Now, an adaptation of the same test to your second url.
<cfset url2 = "
http://my.domain.com/index.cfm/Search/%E3%82%A2%E3%82%B8%E3%82%A2%E3%83%BB%E3%83%93%E3%82% B8%E3%83%8D%E3%82%B9%E9%96%8B%E7%99%BA">
<cfset query_str =
ListGetAt(replacenocase(url2,".cfm/","?"),2,"?")>
<cfif Len(query_str) neq 0>
<cfset i = 1>
<cfloop list="#query_str#" delimiters="/"
index="currentcatname">
<cfoutput>categorylevel#i# =
#currentcatname#</cfoutput><br>
<cfset i = i + 1>
</cfloop>

Pre-parsing user-entered query strings

I'm looking for a robust PL/SQL (or other) script for pre-parsing user-entered query strings, so I can make intermedia work like familiar search engines. (Think Yahoo/Alta Vista.) It has to deal gracefully and intuitively with embedded special characters, boolean constructs, quoted literals, etc.
Has Oracle released anything like this?

There's example code in "The Button" download from http://technet.oracle.com/products/intermedia in the file "avquery.java".
Putting the query directly into ABOUT() also works if you don't need to clean up end-user input.

Parse XML input stream (no .xml file)?

i have a java applet calling a web service that returns XML data as an input stream (char by char from SOAP) to this applet. if i append a all the chars to a string, is there some XML tool that will parse the string as if it were an XML document (like a getElement functions)?
the applet cannot write the data to a .xml file, and i don't want to mess around with .jarsigning. any ideas?
thanks,
jonathan

The XML parsers you are likely to be using support receiving input from a variety of sources besides files. For example you could parse XML from a String variable by passing a StringReader wrapping that String to the parser. Check the documentation for more details.

Problem in sending XML input as String in BPEL

Hi,
We have a BPEL flow (assign, invoke, assign) which takes an XML input as String.
<RegisterCustomerOnVAS><CustomerID>100</CustomerID><MSISDN>9999999</MSISDN><CustomerName>sanjeev</CustomerName><customerInfo>new user</customerInfo></RegisterCustomerOnVAS>
Assignment is doing fine, but when Invoke calls partner link, the input is getting parsed and only the first text value (eg 100) is getting passed to the partner webservice instead of the entire XML as string.
Can any one please help us in fixing in this problem.
Thanks

Hi,
You should watch your assign activity (maybe a bad assigment level in copy rule). I think the probem is there.

Parsing XML from a String

I have a servlet, this recieves an XML file from the client as a file input type from a html form. This XML is wrapped up in http headers and stuff. I parse the input stream from the client's http request to get a string containing the xml. This is fine.
How do I now build an XML document from this string? The DocumentBuilder will take in files and InputStreams but I can't find anything that helps me?
The only solution I've come up with is to write out the string to a temp file and then parse it back into a Document.
Any ideas anyone?????

Document doc = documentBuilder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(yourXMLString)));
voila!

GetConnection(String URL) vs. (String URL, String user, String password)

Hi,
would have a question referring to the documention at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e13995/oracle/jdbc/OracleDriver.html where the forms of getConnection are described.
I would like to convert from using a signature that takes the URL, user name, and password as separate parameters to using a signature that takes the URL, user name, and password all as part of a URL parameter.
While I was able to successfully connect to my database using the form getConnection(String URL, String, user, String password); I am not able to achieve the same when using getConnection(String URL).
Here are the code snippets, maybe someone can point out the reason why the second approach is not working?
approach 1 - working fine
String driver = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
try {
          Class.forName(driver);
          } catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
          String connectionURL = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:PMT";
          String pgUser = "\"James.Smith@000\"";
          String pgPwd = "\"js\"";
     try {
               Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL, pgUser, pgPwd);
approach 2 - error: java.sql.SQLException: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
String driver = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
try {
          Class.forName(driver);
          } catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
String connectionURL = "jdbc:oracle:thin:\"James.Smith@000\"/\"js\"@localhost:1521:PMT";
     try {
               Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL);
Thanks a lot in advance
Kind regards

Let me get this clear.
You want a login dialog.
Some program calls the dialog and waits untile user respond
once the user press ok or cancel it reutrn the users input to the caller.
You can do this directly using JFrame
but you can do it wil JDialog if you use it as aModal dialog.
it will look like this
class LogInDialog extends JDialog implements ActionListener{
   String value;
   public LogInDialog(){
      setModel(true);
    // This is what you invoke
    public String loadDialog(){
        setVisible(true);
        return value;
    public void actionListener(..... e){
        if (e.getSource() == bCancel)
           value = null;
        else if (e.getSource() == bOk)
           value = //generate the string
        dispose();
}

@Bhaskar (and @user11922800): You have to update the db10g/xdk to a version at least of 10.1.0.4. There were major bug fixes including XML-32009 error (bug number 3375952).
http://www.eygle.com/case/bug10104.htm
I've even tried the op's listing with my more to-date xdk without encountering any problem and it is compiled just fine.
ps: I am sure that was the hasty typo in dvohra16 post. The namespace in the op (/2001/) is correct. Encoding is still capable of resulting in some problems (I've had encounted if I recall), but that is not the problem for the issue raised in this thread.

Inputting a string to the console

Do someone happen to know a method for the Scanner class that lets you
input a string as a sentence. I understood that I can do this with
the nextLine() method but it doesn't always work for me.
In the following code I am able to read in the first input ("title") as a sentence,
but when I try to input another sentence ("publisher") a couple of inputs later,
output console skips down to next line input ("price") before I can enter the
"publisher". I just want to know if there is a general method I can
use to input more than one string seperated by spaces to the console.
Thanks in advance,
M
        Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("Enter the Title: ");
        String title = console.nextLine();
        System.out.println("Enter the ISBN: ");
        int isbn = console.nextInt();
        System.out.println("Enter the publisher: ");
        String pub = console.nextLine();
        System.out.println("Enter the price: ");
        double price = console.nextDouble();

Scanner.nextLine() is exactly the method you want.
Your problem comes from a misreading of the docs for .nextInt(). All of the .nextFoo() methods in Scanner will read up to the end of whatever input matches the type you're reading in and no further. This means that the newline at the end of the line of input will NOT be parsed when you call .nextInt().
You need to either call .nextLine() to clear the newline left over from the previous input or always call .nextLine() to get input and use the wrapper classes to parse the line you read in.

Input a string value

What is the simplest method to accept an input of string value? Is buffering or string tokenizer required to perform this?

vinayv wrote:
What is the simplest method to accept an input of string value? Is buffering or string tokenizer required to perform this?It depends what you're doing. StringTokenizer isn't used to get an input value, it's used to separate it out into tokens. It's also deprecated in favor of String.split.
You might want to use BufferedReader's readLine method. Or you might want to use Scanner's next, nextLine, nextInt, etc. It depends on how you're consuming and parsing input. You might even want to check out the Console class introduced in version 6.
Start here, and play around with the above until you find what best suits your needs.

Input a string and assign to a variable in the console window

i'm absolutely and completely new to java
i need to be able to input a string and then assign it to a variable, entirely using the console window, basically i'm looking for the Java alternative to C++'s "cin"
i've tried the System.in. method but nothing seems to work
i know this should be simple, but i cant find it anywhere
cheers

i've tried the System.in. method That thing is not a method: it's an object, an intstantiation of the InputStream
class. If you read the API documentation for that class you'll notice that it
isn't much more sophisticated than C's file IO. You can wrap an
object if this class in a more high level class (see InputStreamReader
and BufferedReader).
The latter allows you to read an entire line of characters. If you really want
to go fancy you can wrap the first class in a Scanner which is only
available in Java 1.5

Unable to get the SharePoint 2013 List names using Client object model for the input URL

Please can you help with this issue.
We are not able to get the SharePoint 2013 List names using Client object model for the input URL.
What we need is to use default credentials to authenticate user to get only those list which he has access to.
clientContext.Credentials = Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
But in this case we are getting error saying ‘The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.’
Instead of passing Default Credentials, if we pass the User credentials using:
clientContext.Credentials = New Net.NetworkCredential("Administrator", "password", "contoso")
It authenticates the user and works fine. Since we are developing a web part, it would not be possible to pass the user credentials. Also, the sample source code works perfectly fine on the SharePoint 2010 environment. We need to get the same functionality
working for SharePoint 2013.
We are also facing the same issue while authenticating PSI(Project Server Interface) Web services for Project Server 2013.
Can you please let us know how we can overcome the above issue? Please let us know if you need any further information from our end on the same.
Sample code is here: http://www.projectsolution.com/Data/Support/MS/SharePointTestApplication.zip
Regards, PJ Mistry (Email: [email protected] | Web: http://www.projectsolution.co.uk | Blog: EPMGuy.com)

Hi Mistry,
I sure that CSOM will authenticate without passing the
"clientContext.Credentials = Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials" by default. It will take the current login user credentials by default. For more details about the CSOM operations refer the below link.

Can I pass variables in the URL string?

I am trying to get some variables into a loaded swf at
runtime. The variables will carry information so the swf can load
the correct xml file. I thought we could pass them through the URL
string like so:
new URLRequest("testing.swf?myVar=varOne
but it just throws an URL cannot be found error. How can I
get variables into my swf at runtime?

What you are doing is fine. But you will always get that
error when testing
the movie (Ctrl+Enter). Try it in a browser and it should
work.
BTW, another way of doing the same is to use a URLVariables
object, like so:
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("testing.swf");
var vars:URLVariables = new
URLVariables("myVar=varOne&myVar2=varTwo");
req.data = vars;

URL String works for weeks, then decides to give up on life.

I have a game that uses the twitter API to call 20 recent tweets from the accoun the URL string is set up to, iot has been working for weeks no problems untill todya, when it just shouted at me! saying:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: file:////http://search.twitter.com/search.json?lang=en&q=Lady%20Gaga&rpp=100
          at DocumentMain()[F:\Documents and Settings\Scott Mitchell\Desktop\Comb Over Charlie Style Game\DocumentMain.as:88]
Sometimes i get another error, but thats if i change the url to: https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=LadyGaga
The code i have now to get the tweets is:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("//http://search.twitter.com/search.json?lang=en&q=Lady%20Gaga&rpp=100"));
                              loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);

haha thanks your a genius. But i removed it and its still not working, I get this error now:
But it seems it does not like this function:
private function loadComplete(e:Event):void
                                   processData(e.target.data);
its saying:
at DocumentMain/loadComplete()[F:\Documents and Settings\Scott Mitchell\Desktop\Comb Over Charlie Style Game\DocumentMain.as:539]
          at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
          at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()

Can set charset in jdbc url string?

can set charset in jdbc url string
like mysql
?

China,
As far as I know, you cannot set the charset in the JDBC URL string. However, there are ways to set it. Although I have no experience with setting the charset, I believe the "Oracle JDBC User's Guide and Reference" contains this information. The guide is available from:
http://tahiti.oracle.com
Allow me to give you some advice. Each DBMS does things differently. Oracle's JDBC driver does not work exactly the same way as the JDBC driver for "mySQL". You need to learn how Oracle's JDBC driver does things. In my opinion, the "Oracle JDBC User's Guide nad Reference" is very good for learning how to use Oracle's JDBC driver.
Good Luck,
Avi.
