I'm trying out the Cosmos DB SDK's new Patch/Partial Update-functionality (for .NET)
When adding a new property I use
var patchOperations = new List<PatchOperation>(){
PatchOperation.Add<string>("/FavoriteColor", **null**)
};
await container.PatchItemAsync<T>(
id: myId,
partitionKey: new PartitionKey(myPk),
patchOperations: patchOperations);
The problem is, that it throws at the PatchOperation-Add() if I set second parameter to null (with message "Value cannot be null"). I can set any non-null string and it works well. I just wonder if this isn't supported yet or if I missed something.
Thanks to github user rvdvelden (source), this work around appears to work perfectly:
private JToken NullValue { get { return new JProperty("nullValue", null).Value; } }
Used in this way:
operations.Add(PatchOperation.Set("\customer", value ?? NullValue));
Remove is one alternative if the intent is to remove field/property.
This is not supported with Patch yet,
However, if you want to remove the entire property you need to use Remove Operation

I have a table which gets its data server-side, using custom server-side initialization params which vary depending upon which report is produced. Once the table is generated, the user may open a popup in which they can add multiple additional filters on which to search. I need to be able to use the same initialization params as the original table, and add the new ones using fnServerParams.
I can't figure out how to get the original initialization params using the datatables API. I had thought I could get a reference to the object, get the settings using fnSettings, and pass those settings into a new datatables instance like so:
var oSettings = $('#myTable').dataTable().fnSettings();
// add additional params to the oSettings object
$('#myTable').dataTable(oSettings);
but the variable returned through fnSettings isn't what I need and doesn't work.
At this point, it seems like I'm going to re-architect things so that I can pass the initialization params around as a variable and add params as needed, unless somebody can steer me in the right direction.
EDIT:
Following tduchateau's answer below, I was able to get partway there by using
var oTable= $('#myTable').dataTable(),
oSettings = oTable.fnSettings(),
oParams = oTable.oApi._fnAjaxParameters(oSettings);
oParams.push('name':'my-new-filter', 'value':'my-new-filter-value');
and can confirm that my new serverside params are added on to the existing params.
However, I'm still not quite there.
$('#myTable').dataTable(oSettings);
gives the error:
DataTables warning(table id = 'myTable'): Cannot reinitialise DataTable.
To retrieve the DataTables object for this table, please pass either no arguments
to the dataTable() function, or set bRetrieve to true.
Alternatively, to destroy the old table and create a new one, set bDestroy to true.
Setting
oTable.bRetrieve = true;
doesn't get rid of the error, and setting
oSettings.bRetrieve = true;
causes the table to not execute the ajax call. Setting
oSettings.bDestroy = true;
loses all the custom params, while setting
oTable.bDestroy = true;
returns the above error. And simply calling
oTable.fnDraw();
causes the table to be redrawn with its original settings.
Finally got it to work using fnServerParams. Note that I'm both deleting unneccessary params and adding new ones, using a url var object:
"fnServerParams": function ( aoData ) {
var l = aoData.length;
// remove unneeded server params
for (var i = 0; i < l; ++i) {
// if param name starts with bRegex_, sSearch_, mDataProp_, bSearchable_, or bSortable_, remove it from the array
if (aoData[i].name.search(/bRegex_|sSearch_|mDataProp_|bSearchable_|bSortable_/) !== -1 ){
aoData.splice(i, 1);
// since we've removed an element from the array, we need to decrement both the index and the length vars
--i;
--l;
}
}
// add the url variables to the server array
for (i in oUrlvars) {
aoData.push( { "name": i, "value": oUrlvars[i]} );
}
}
This is normally the right way to retrieve the initialization settings:
var oSettings = oTable.fnSettings();
Why is it not what you need? What's wrong with these params?
If you need to filter data depending on your additional filters, you can complete the array of "AJAX data" sent to the server using this:
var oTable = $('#myTable').dataTable();
var oParams = oTable.oApi._fnAjaxParameters( oTable );
oParams.push({name: "your-additional-param-name", value: your-additional-param-value });
You can see some example usages in the TableTools plugin.
But I'm not sure this is what you need... :-)
Ektron 8.0.1 SP1
I am using SmartForms and Content Types to read (and hopefully write) data. I can read data but now I am attempting to write a new record similar to the following.
ContentTypeManager<member> contentTypeManager = new ContentTypeManager<member>();
ContentType<member> newmem = new ContentType<member>();
newmem.SmartForm.details.field1 = "Chuck"; // This line throws 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' error
newmem.SmartForm.details.field2 = "Norris";
contentTypeManager.Update(newmem);
I get the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." for that first assignment line. What am I missing?
I am having trouble finding good documentation on ContentTypes for 8.0.1 now that the Ektron website has been redesigned.
Thx.
Thanks for clarifying, to ADD content to a folder that has a smartform assigned to it, the basic code block should get you started: (Note: the Html attribute of the content is simply the xml matched to the schema you created)
Ektron.Cms.Framework.Content.ContentManager cmanager = new Cms.Framework.Content.ContentManager();
Ektron.Cms.ContentData cdata = new ContentData();
cdata.FolderId = 0;
cdata.XmlConfiguration.Id = 0; //SMARTFORM ID HERE
cdata.Html = "<root><field1>field1 value</field1><field2>field2 value</field2></root>";
cmanager.Add(cdata);
You could update ContentTypes.cs to include an Add method. Just copy the Update method and change contentManager.Update to contentManager.Add.
public void Add(ContentType<T> contentType)
{
Initialize();
contentType.Content.Html = Ektron.Cms.EkXml.Serialize(typeof(T), contentType.SmartForm);
contentManager.Add(contentType.Content);
}
Unfortunately, contentManager.Add returns void. Ideally it should return the new content ID.
Using Restlet 2.1 for Java EE, I am discovering an interesting problem with its ability to handle attributes.
Suppose you have code like the following:
cmp.getDefaultHost().attach("/testpath/{attr}",SomeServerResource.class);
and on your browser you provide the following URL:
http://localhost:8100/testpath/command
then, of course, the attr attribute gets set to "command".
Unfortunately, suppose you want the attribute to be something like command/test, as in the following URL:
http://localhost:8100/testpath/command/test
or if you want to dynamically add things with different levels, like:
http://localhost:800/testpath/command/test/subsystems/network/security
in both cases the attr attribute is still set to "command"!
Is there some way in a restlet application to make an attribute that can retain the "slash", so that one can, for example, make the attr attribute be set to "command/test"? I would like to be able to just grab everything after testpath and have the entire string be the attribute.
Is this possible? Someone please advise.
For the same case I usually change the type of the variable :
Route route = cmp.getDefaultHost().attach("/testpath/{attr}",SomeServerResource.class);
route.getTemplate().getVariables().get("attr") = new Variable(Variable.TYPE_URI_PATH);
You can do this by using url encoding.
I made the following attachment in my router:
router.attach("/test/{cmd}", TestResource.class);
My test resource class looks like this, with a little help from Apache Commons Codec URLCodec
#Override
protected Representation get() {
try {
String raw = ResourceWrapper.get(this, "cmd");
String decoded = new String(URLCodec.decodeUrl(raw.getBytes()));
return ResourceWrapper.wrap(raw + " " + decoded);
} catch(Exception e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); }
}
Note my resource wrapper class is simply utility methods. The get returns the string of the url param, and the wrap returns a StringRepresentation.
Now if I do something like this:
http://127.0.0.1/test/haha/awesome
I get a 404.
Instead, I do this:
http://127.0.0.1/test/haha%2fawesome
I have URLEncoded the folder path. This results in my browser saying:
haha%2fawesome haha/awesome
The first is the raw string, the second is the result. I don't know if this is suitable for your needs as it's a simplistic example, but as long as you URLEncode your attribute, you can decode it on the other end.
I have a yii application. Data is validated properly. the $model->validate() returns true but data is not being saved. Is there any way that I know about the error. It does nothing. neither prints error nor any warning.
if (isset($_POST['Invoice'])) {
$model->validate();
$model->attributes = $_POST['Invoice'];
if (!$model->validate()) {
die(CVarDumper::dump($model->errors,10,true));
}
if ($model->save()) {
die("Data saved");
$this->redirect(array('view', 'id' => $model->id));
} else {
CVarDumper::dump($model->attributes,10,true);
CVarDumper::dump($model->errors,10,true);
}
}
if you override beforeSave or afterFind method in your model,
public function beforeSave() {
return true; //don't forget this
}
public function afterFind() {
return true; //don't forget this
}
make sure you return true for those function
If save() is returning true and there are no errors as such in your database and queries. Only thing, thats possible is you haven't marked some of the column safe for mass assignment via "$model->attributes".
Make sure the column you are trying to save are marked safe in the "rules" function in your model. You can mark columns safe via adding the following rule in "rules" function in the model.
array ( "column_name1, column_name2 ....." , "safe" )
I've just ran into something similar to this. Everything was validating correctly, and $model->save() was returning true, but no data was saved in the database.
The problem and solution was that I was creating the $model object like so:
$model = ClassName::model();
but you need to create the object like so:
$model = new ClassName;
If you have this problem, you replace this:
$model->save(false)
This solves your problem.
If you use $model->save(); the filters is running that is not good for you.
Fire up some logging and see what going on...
I got the same error when I was using reCaptcha. I just did this and it worked:
$model->scenario = NULL;
Make sure you do this AFTER validation.
I had the same issue, my mistake was with the post name in the controller, where I used $model->save. I had given wrong - if(isset($_POST['postname']))
If I am not wrong, you are doing an AR save() in the $model->save() method. You do not get any error, but the data is not saved as well.
If this is the case you would like to do a:
die(CVarDumper::dump($arObj->errors,10,true));
after the $arObj->save(); call. Most of the time this happens because of the Database rejecting the values provided for insert or update.
Also do not override your model constructor:
function __construct() { } // don't do this
The issue for me was that I had a property for the column name in the ActiveRecord class, so it wasn't saving.
You should not declare properties for column names as I guess the magic methods __get() and __set() are used to save data, I guess by checking if there are column changes when you click the save() method to avoid useless SQL queries. In my case, because the column was a user-declared property, it wasn't in the columns list and therefore changes to it were not detected.
Hope this helps other people
I'm new to NHibernate and was assigned to a task where I have to change a value of an entity property and then compare if this new value (cached) is different from the actual value stored on the DB. However, every attempt to retrieve this value from the DB resulted in the cached value. As I said, I'm new to NHibernate, maybe this is something easy to do and obviously could be done with plain ADO.NET, but the client demands that we use NHibernate for every access to the DB. In order to make things clearer, those were my "successful" attempts (ie, no errors):
1
DetachedCriteria criteria = DetachedCriteria.For<User>()
.SetProjection(Projections.Distinct(Projections.Property(UserField.JobLoad)))
.Add(Expression.Eq(UserField.Id, userid));
return GetByDetachedCriteria(criteria)[0].Id; //this is the value I want
2
var JobLoadId = DetachedCriteria.For<User>()
.SetProjection(Projections.Distinct(Projections.Property(UserField.JobLoad)))
.Add(Expression.Eq(UserField.Id, userid));
ICriteria criteria = JobLoadId.GetExecutableCriteria(NHibernateSession);
var ids = criteria.List();
return ((JobLoad)ids[0]).Id;
Hope I made myself clear, sometimes is hard to explain a problem when even you don't quite understand the underlying framework.
Edit: Of course, this is a method body.
Edit 2: I found out that it doesn't work properly for the method call is inside a transaction context. If I remove the transaction, it works fine, but I need it to be in this context.
I do that opening a new stateless session for geting the actual object in the database:
User databaseuser;
using (IStatelessSession session = SessionFactory.OpenStatelessSession())
{
databaseuser = db.get<User>("id");
}
//do your checks
Within a session, NHibernate will return the same object from its Level-1 Cache (aka Identity Map). If you need to see the current value in the database, you can open a new session and load the object in that session.
I would do it like this:
public class MyObject : Entity
{
private readonly string myField;
public string MyProperty
{
get { return myField; }
set
{
if (value != myField)
{
myField = value;
DoWhateverYouNeedToDoWhenItIsChanged();
}
}
}
}
