Lexicon is ignored in SSML using MS cognitive speech service - text-to-speech

I try to use a lexicon but the TTS service ignores it.
This is my lexicon xml file:
<lexicon xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2005/01/pronunciation-lexicon http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/CR-pronunciation-lexicon-20071212/pls.xsd"
version="1.0"
xml:lang="de-DE"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/01/pronunciation-lexicon">
<lexeme>
<grapheme>Achsöl</grapheme>
<phoneme>aks øːl</phoneme>
</lexeme>
</lexicon>
I serve the file using a simple python server and ngrok
python3 -m http.server 80
ngrok http 80
In my c# code I create SSML which looks like this when sent to the TTS service:
<speak version="1.0"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/synthesis"
xmlns:mstts="http://www.w3.org/2001/mstts"
xmlns:emo="http://www.w3.org/2009/10/emotionml"
xml:lang="de-DE">
<voice name="Microsoft Server Speech Text to Speech Voice (de-DE, KatjaNeural)">
<lexicon uri="https://xyz.ngrok.io/Lexikon.xml" />
Achsöl
</voice>
</speak>
But the TTS service ignores my lexicon. I've checked that the file is accessible from internet.
What am I doing wrong?

Avahi service file for mDNS option for Physical Web

Physical Web docs vague about mDNS advertising. I am using Avahi to advertise a global app via mDNS and tried many combinations of service file parameters:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?>
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
<service-group>
<name>name-of-service</name>
<service protocol="ipv4">
<host-name>host.name.com</host-name>
<type>_https._tcp</type>
<port>443</port>
</service>
</service-group>
Is there a concrete definition of the form of the mDNS advertisement for physical web?

RavenDB on a port other than 8080

We are trying to install NServiceBus 4.2.0.0 with RavenDB via the following command:-
nserviceBus.host.exe -install serviceName="xxxx.Server" -displayname="xxxx.Server" -username="domainName\serviceAccountName" -password="serviceAccountPassword"
NServiceBus seems to install however the RavenDB install fails - note we are trying to install under a port other than 8080 - as a result we have placed the line:-
<add name="NServiceBus/Persistence" connectionString="Url = http://localhost:9090" />
...in our config
The error message we receive is:-
[1] WARN NServiceBus.ConfigureRavenPersistence [(null)] <(null)> - Raven could not be contacted. We tried to access Raven using the following url: http://localhost:9090.
If I leave at the default port (8080), everything installs correctly, however I need to change the port because 8080 is already in use
Does anyone have any ideas ?
RavenDB installation is separate from NServiceBus host installation.
To install RavenDB either follow the instructions on RavenDB website or you can install Raven server by using the NServiceBus Powershell cmdlets, see http://docs.particular.net/nservicebus/managing-nservicebus-using-powershell for instructions on how to load the cmdlets.
If you choose to use the cmdlets, you need to execute Install-NServiceBusRavenDB -Port 9090
If you just want to change the RavenDB port, you can do the following:
Note: The paths defined here are from the NServiceBus 4.3.2 installer with default paths
To download the installer, you can visit here: https://github.com/Particular/NServiceBus/releases/download/4.3.2/Particular.NServiceBus-4.3.2.exe
Launch the services management window (i.e. Run services.msc)
Stop service RavenDB
Navigate to the following path: "C:\Program Files\NServiceBus.Persistence.v4"
Edit the Raven.Server.exe.config: <add key="Raven/Port" value="<your port here>" />
Save the config
Start the service
Hit localhost on your new port
You should now be able to hit the RavenDB web on the new port!
Maybe try to change local.config in RavenDB folder.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LocalConfig Port="9090" />
then restart raven
To change the port of RavenDb,
IIS
Change the port in IIS :)
here's where mine is set (under bindings)
Development Console
Find the config file of the ravenDb exe or dll (depends if you're running it as an IIS website, windows server or just the console window).
<Root RavenDb folder>\Server\RavenDb.server.exe.config
Set the port, manually in the file. Change the following ...
<add key="Raven/Port" value="*"/>
to
<add key="Raven/Port" value="6969"/>
or whatever port you need/require.
Windows Service
No idea! i've never used it.
Good luck!

How to get the called address of a WCF Rest Request?

I have implemented a REST Webservice which returns (after an authentication via RFC 2617 HTTP Digest Authentication) an XML document with xlink's to the related resources.
Here's an example of a request:
http://172.32.42.53:8080/Service.svc/user/123
A result could look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<UserList xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<User>
<ID>2</ID>
<UserName>CHI</UserName>
<OutlineLink xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="http://demo:8080/Service.svc/Users/2/Outline/" cache="no"/>
<SettingsLink xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="http://demo:8080/Service.svc/Users/2/Settings/" cache="no"/>
<CatalogsLink xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="http://demo:8080/Service.svc/Users/2/Catalogs/" cache="no"/>
<LastName>Test</LastName>
</User>
</UserList>
So, the problem now is:
If the user calls the webservice via the IP address, the first handshake will be over the ip address and not the DNS name. So the authentication does only work if the second call (to the specified resource) will be over the IP address again. I tried it with following command:
OperationContext.Current.IncomingMessageProperties.Via.ToString();
But my webservice returns always the dns of the server and not the "called address".
Is there a possibility to get the called address? So I can dynamically return the called address (ip or dns). Would be great to get a solution. Relative URLs aren't allowed for xlinks.
Thanks for help!
Can you try to retrieve the called address from the request's server variables? I guess your web service needs to be in asp.Net compatibility mode to access this. Something like "REMOTE_HOST", "HTTP_HOST", "SERVER_NAME", etc...

Redeploy an existing Axis2 web service in remote server

I am trying to redeploy an Axis2 web service in a remote server. I am doing this by uploading the .aar file from the axis2 admin console.
I know 'hot update' is disabled by default. So I tried adding the following line to the services.xml file:
<parameter name="hotdeployment" >true</parameter>
<parameter name="hotupdate" >true</parameter>
However, the redeployment was not successful.
I also dont have permission to restart the server.
Can anyone let me know the right way to do this ?
Thanks!
This settings located in axis2.xml, You should set there.
Standalone Axis2 server:
$AXIS_HOME/conf/axis2.xml
In war file:
WEB-INF/conf/axis2.xml

Getting request and creating HTTP response using Tomcat

I am currently trying to use embeded Tomcat for my application and am trying to set it up to get the URL of the http request.
Some Background:
I am using the same code as in the first answer for the post here : Howto embed Tomcat 6?
The only change I have made is :
private String catalinaHome = "/home/xyz/tomcat"; // This dir is created and has full access permissions
Also , I am looking at: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/catalina/startup/Embedded.html
There are no server.xml and tomcat-users.xml that I could find, so I created a tomcat-users.xml since I was getting an exception :Memory database file /home/xyz/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml cannot be read .
tomcat-users.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="tomcat"/>
<role rolename="role1"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
<user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
<user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
</tomcat-users>
The code uses container.setRealm(new MemoryRealm());
It appears from here : http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/catalina/funcspecs/fs-memory-realm.html that I should have a server.xml file and there should already be one created by default.
1] Do I need to create a server.xml, what should be the default in it ?
I have put a file with default from here : http://www.akadia.com/download/soug/tomcat/html/tomcat_server_xml.html , but just want to know what is the right thing to do ?
2]When I access http://localhost:8089/mywebapp/index.html, all i get is The requested resource () is not available, though I have an index.html page at the "webappDir" in the code
3] My only need from the embedded tomcat is to intercept so as to get the URL passed to tomcat in my code. I can then parse the URL [do my stuff] and then create a http payload and send an http response back.
I would appreciate any pointers, especially for 3] ?
Thanks!
Ok, for your first question, yo do not need server.xml. If you check the code of your initial post they are setting the parameters there. So that is what server.xml would encapsulate. In reality what happens is that Tomcat will parse server.xml for the properties you are defining on your java file where you instanciate the catalina call to start. But since it is embedded you are setting all those parameters on you class instead.
For your second question, check your logs directory and see what is being parsed. Something is happening after your service starts because it should already redirect you once you call the port. either way, just try http://localhost:8089 and see what you get back in return from tomcat. It should give you some kind of response back from the server itself.
if you do it like this "http://localhost:8089/mywebapp/index.html" you are trying to access a created context, and that might not be configured correctly, but that is just a guess right now.
Try this first and tell me what you get back. we can troubleshoot from this point and see if I can help more in that sense.
Quick question, is this windows or linux you are installing on?
If it is linux the configurations filea are located usually on /etc/tomcat6. (at least on ubuntu they are). Reply back with the version you have installed. I might be able to help you out.
I guess I should also elaborate here a little more. Tomcat is a service in linux as well, so in ubuntu you have to start tomcat in order to access it.
$: sudo service tomcat6 start
then it starts tomcat on port 8080 (usually if not changed) of your localhost. hence you type localhost:8080 to access the website for configuration of tomcat that gives you a It works prompt for you.
Let me know if you have more questions, I will try to respond to the best of my knowledge
