Storing a secret string

Hi,
Our ATG based site has to make a call to a REST web services located in the cloud (somewhere on the internet). The call only executes when we send a secret api key along with it. This key is configurable. It can change over time. Normally we would store similar configuration strings in ATG nucleus property files. However, in this case, we do not want the key to be stored unencrypted on the file system of the ATG server.
We are now looking for some sort of vault in which we can store the key. Does anyone happen to know of such a solution? We checked if the Java keystore/keytool could help us but that requires a specific format. Any other suggestions are very welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Bart.

If you want to encrypt any sensitive information that is stored in a Nucleus component properties file, you can do that by providing an implementation of atg.nucleus.PropertyValueDecoder. Then within your component you can decode the value of encoded property before you actually use it.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26180_01/Platform.94/ATGProgGuide/html/s0206decodingencryptedpropertiesinnuc01.html
PropertyValueDecoder has two variants of decode() method as: public String decode(String s) and public Object decode(Object o). There are two default OOB implementation provided also for PropertyValueDecoder which are atg.service.jdbc.SimpleLoginDecoder and atg.crypto.CipherPropertyValueDecoder. SimpleLoginDecoder uses the OOB class atg.core.util.Base64 for decoding the encrypted value in the properties file while CipherPropertyValueDecoder class can use a atg.crypto.Cipher object where you can have you own encrypt/decrypt implementations.

How to find out the type of the value stored in a string variable?

Hi,
How do i find out the type of the value stored in a string variable?
for example,
I have a string variable str, in which the following type of values wil be stored
1) Intger
2) Long
3) boolean
4) Char
Is there any method to find out the type of the value, anything like str.getType()?. Please kindly help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi All, i'm sorry for the double posting, by mistake it occured.
Thanks for your replies, i have a string variable str, in which the value is stored and i have another string variable type, in which the type of the value is stored.
For example,
String str = "15";
String type = "Integer";
Is there any way to verify whether the value stroed in str is of type stored in the variable 'type'. I want to write a method of type boolean, it will throw true of the value stored in str is of type 'type'. Thanks

How to create an instance of a class which is stored in a String?

I've class name stored in a String Object.
now i've to create an instance of that class name.
How?

This is very dangerous ground because you give up compile-time safety, but you can get a Class object using Class.forName(String). Then you can use methods of the class Class to operate on it (including creating an instance).

For just executing a method or two, reflection might be easier than beanshell (or it might not). For executing entire scripts, beanshell will be preferable over reflection.
(I assume beanshell uses reflection under the hood, but I've never bothered to peek.)

How to create a new file having a name that is stored in a string

Hello friends i am new to java and i need your help .
I have a string which will take different values at run time. I want to create a file which has the same name as stored in the string . Can anyone help me?

The Java Almanac example I linked to uses createNewFile() - the API documentation is not particularly clear about exactly what happens if c:\some\value\assigned\at doesn't already exist. But you're only a small experiment away from finding out!
Another page gives examples of directory creation.
http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.io/CreateDir.html
Once (or if) the file is created using a File then, yes, that File is the name of the file: parent directories and all. If you create a FileReader based on the File it will read from the right place.

Using an array name stored in a String in a Statement

In my sequence, I build an array in one section and store it in a variable called Locals.Test_Array.
I build the name of the permanent place I would like to store this array and store it in a string called Locals.SG_Test_Array_Name.
I would like to move the values from Locals.Test_Array to the Station Globals Array name stored in Locals.SG_Test_Array_Name.
For example:
the string stored in Locals.SG_Test_Array_Name is "StationGlobals.Coolant_Temperature_Test_Array" (already created in Station Globals)
What I am trying to do is this:
Statement StationGlobals.Coolant_Temperature_Test_Array=Locals.Test_Array (this works)
The Station Global Array name needs to change as the sequence executes and the data in Locals.Test_Array changes.
What I need is something like this.
Statement Locals.SG_Test_Array_Name=Locals.Test_Array (where SG_Test_Array_Name is a string that holds the name of the array)
Thanks, Big_Will

Evaluate(Locals.SG_Test_Array_Name + " = Locals.Test_Array " )

Database toolkit stored procedure return String

Hi all,
How I can return the entire string from my stored procedure using the attached code ?
With this code I only retrive the first caractere of the string return by the stored procedure.
Thanks for your help.

It could be that there is something screwy with LV, but given that it uses standard interfaces for comm with the DBMS, I would not expect that. A much more realistic possibility is that the toolkit is mucking things up. (A fairly common occurrence.)
Try bypassing the toolbox -- which you don't really need anyway -- an talk directly to the ActiveX or .net interface.
Also, what DBMS? What drivers are you using?

How to check the current time with a Stored time in string format

Hi All
I would like to compare the system time with an existing time values which is allready there in String format..
i mean i would like to check if the SysTime is inbetween 6:30 and 14:00
I accomplished this in Oracle ..
Select 'Y' from dual where to_date(to_char(sysdate,'HH24:MI '),'HH24:MI') between to_date('06:30','HH24:MI') and to_date('14:00','HH24:MI')
But instead of checking the DB each and every time , the perfomance would be better if we can do this in our java code..
Could some one provide me with a code to accomplish the above scenario..
Thanks in advance..,.,

import java.util.Calendar;
Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance(); // gets the current date and time to millisec
Calendar earlyTime = Calendar.getInstance().set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 6).set(Calendar.MINUTE, 30);
Calendar lateTime = Calendar.getInstance().set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 8).set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
if (rightNow.compareTo(earlyTime)> 0 && rightNow.compareTo(lateTime) < 0){
// do something
}Try this.

How to run command stored as a string other than eval()

hi,
my code looks like this:
function getById(ID){
    var returnArray=[];
    for(var i= 0;i<ID.length;i++){
        returnArray.push("sap.ui.getCore().byId"+'('+'"'+ID[i]+'"'+')');
    return returnArray;
var x=getById(["miRequestDateDatePicker","miApprovalDateDatePicker"]);
        for(var i=0;i< x.length;i++){
            x[i]=x[i].concat(".setEditable"+'('+mode+')'+';');
            console.log(x[i]);
            //eval(x[i]);
my array elements looks like this
x[0]="sap.ui.getCore().byId("miRequestDateDatePicker").setEditable(true);" i need to run this code in place of //eval(x[i]),
please suggest me a solution other than eval();
regards
Ajaay

Try this instead
var id;
   for(var i=0;i< x.length;i++)
            x[i]=x[i].concat(".setEditable"+'('+mode+')'+';');
            console.log(x[i]);
               id = x[i].split('"')[1]; // which extracts the id from the string. mode variable is already there
               sap.ui.getCore().byId(id).setEnabled(mode);
            //eval(x[i]);

Get class object for primitive datatype name stored in a string

Hi,
I have an array of Strings:
String[] somePrimitives = {"int", "char", "void" };
I want to achieve the equivalent of :
for(int k = 0; k < somePrimitives.length; k++) {
Class myClass = Class.forName(somePrimitives[k]); //Wont work
We all know, we cannot do Class.forName("int") etc since "int" is not a path to
an actual class - whereas Class.forName("java.lang.Integer") will work.
Can anyone tell me how to achieve the above ?
Of course, I don't want to have numerous hardcoded checking conditions like
if(somePrimitives[k].equals("int")) return (Integer.TYPE);
thanks.

1. Why couldn't java provide me a simple provision to list all available primitives and their corresponding
class mapping ? Why should I do the mapping...shouldn't the language have taken care of
its provisions ?Yes, and native compilation on the fly, dynamic modification of classes, a sensible types system, usable Number tree, quasiquotation, access to the AST of the source, getting a method based on argument types rather than parameter types, etc. etc.
2. Or even better they could have made the method
Class.getPrimitiveClass(String primitiveDatatTypeName)
as a public method. This would have solved the whole
problem with a one line piece of code. Why did they
have to make it non-public ???If you want it easy, go elsewhere.
But seriously, the reflection capabilities were tagged onto Java as it grew, and were not designed to reflect the state of the art, but as a 'just enough to get by' solution. Most of the time people don't need it, so it's not there, any you have to roll your own.

Can a structure be stored in a string using structure notation

Is there any way to store a structure as a string, for
example in a database, that could be converted runtime like
javascript can with eval, something like <cfset
tmp=Evaluate("{VarA=[1,2,3]}")>

The closest you can come is if you want to serialize and
deserialize the structure as a JSON object (JavaScript Object
Notation).
<cfscript>
struct = StructNew();
struct.key1 = "Key 1";
struct.key2 = "Key 2";
struct.key3 = "Key 3";
myJSONStruct = SerializeJSON(struct);// converts the
structure to a JSON string
myStructBack = DeserializeJSON(myJSONStruct);
</cfscript>
<cfdump var="#myJSONStruct#" />
<cfdump var="#myStructBack#" />
Of course, you'll need to know how to use a JSON
string/object in your JS for this to be helpful but this will
convert your struct to a string representation and allow you the
option to convert it back in CF, if needed.

Storing foreign languages in a string

Hi all.
I have a multi-language application. It has a textfield that allows users to type in values in a language of their choice. This value is stored in a string. The class which contains this string will be serialized. My problem is how can I retrieve the value of that string, after de-serialization, and display it back to the user in the same language it was enter?
My solution was to take the value the user has entered and convert it into unicode. Therefore, when I display the string, it will always be in the original language. Is there a better solution?
thanks,
Paul

Strings are already in Unicode, you know. And you would have to do something to prevent the user from seeing what they typed in, if your code does what you say, so there must be something you haven't said.
