common xsd schema imported into another schema not being unmarshalled - schema

re http://blog.bdoughan.com/2011/12/reusing-generated-jaxb-classes.html
I am trying to switch from using castor to jaxb.
I am importing a commontypes.xsd schema into another schema and then using jaxb to generate the java classes but when I unmarhsal a sample XML file the imported types are null unless I explicitly set all the namespaces in the sample xml.
This is a real pain because I want calling apps to be able to send me plain XML not one littered with a tonne of namespaces and prefixes etc.
Any suggestions as to how to avoid having to do this?
I generated .episodes files in maven using the above article and XJC episode with maven but it doesnt help and Im still getting nulls when I unmarshal.
Can anyone help?
thanks

I got it working!
The problem was the package-info.java file generated by xjc from my .xsd file had elementFormDefault set to be QUALIFIED
#javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema(
namespace = "http://www.example.com/commontypes",
elementFormDefault = javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED
)
package com.example.commontypes;
When I changed this to be unqualified and recompiled the java code, the unmarshall then worked.
The root cause fix was in my .xsd file, where I set elementFormDefault="unqualified"
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.com/commontypes"
xmlns="http://www.example.com/commontypes"
elementFormDefault="unqualified"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
This resulting in the following generated package-info.java file
#javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema(
namespace = "http://www.example.com/commontypes"
)
package com.example.commontypes;
and again, the unmarshall then worked!
Thanks to Blaise for all the work he puts in, it was comment on one of his blog posts that let me figure it out!

Deltek Vision 7.6 - Column: does not exist when UpdateProject

I'm currently working in an integration with Deltek Vision 7.6, I'm using the SOAP API, it exposes all actions and I'm creating and updating records currently.
The problem is, adding a mew field in the database table and in Deltek Vision, executing the same call it returns an error like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DLTKVisionMessage>
<ReturnCode>ErrSave</ReturnCode>
<ReturnDesc>An unexpected error has occured while saving</ReturnDesc>
<ChangesNotProcessed>
<InsertErrors>
<Error rowNum="1">
<ErrorCode>InsertError</ErrorCode>
<Message>Column: does not exist.</Message>
<Table>Projects_MilestoneCompletionLog</Table>
<ROW new="1" mod="1" del="0">
<WBS1>100434</WBS1>
<WBS2>1014</WBS2>
<WBS3>SD</WBS3>
<Seq>a0D0m000000cf9NEAQ</Seq>
<CustMilestoneNumber>MS01</CustMilestoneNumber>
<CustMilestoneName>DM91 - Data Maintenance SAQ</CustMilestoneName>
<CustAmount>1150.0</CustAmount>
<CustSiteTrackerDate>2018-07-06T10:01:50</CustSiteTrackerDate>
</ROW>
</Error>
</InsertErrors>
</ChangesNotProcessed>
<Detail>Column: does not exist.</Detail>
<CallStack>UpdateProject.SendDataToDeltekVision</CallStack>
</DLTKVisionMessage>
The problematic field is: CustSiteTrackerDate if I remove this from Vision and Database the update call happens correctly.
Does anyone knows if after create a new custom field in Deltek is anything special we need to do to allow the update calls throw the API?
Thanks
I have been working with the Deltek Soap API as well and found this in some of the documentation:
XML Schema for Vision Web Services/APIs The data that you are adding
or updating in the Vision database must be sent in XML format. The
format of the XML data must comply with the schema. The order of the
fields in your XML file must match the order of the fields that is
defined by the schema. If your XML file does not match the required
schema and the order of the fields, you will receive an error when you
use web services to update the Vision database. Each applicable Info
Center in Vision has an XML schema defined. Examples of the schema for
each Info Center are included in schema files that are located on the
Vision Web/app server in \Vision\Web\Xsd directory
( is the directory where Deltek Vision is installed). The
names of the schema files start with the generic Info-Center-name
followed by ‘_Schema.xsd.’ For example, the name of the XML schema
file used for Employee Info Center would be ‘Employee_Schema.Xsd.’
It may be that you need to add the new field to the Info Center XML, go to the server hosting your Vision/Web/App and find the infocenter XML that this new field should exist in and make sure it is there.

boost build - sources with the same name

src
|--Manager.cpp
|--Specializations
| |--Manager.cpp
Building this Boost.Build tries to create
/bin/...
|--Manager.o
|--Manager.o
but fails. How to resolve this automatically? I read FAQ item, but I don't like the solution, as I have to fix things manually when I have a same class name, but different namespace. Would it be possible to make Boost.Build automatically prefix object file names with directory?
/bin/...
|--Manager.o
|--Specializations.Manager.o
Or duplicate the source directory tree?
/bin/...
|--Manager.o
|--Specializations
| |--Manager.o
This behavior has been changed a long time ago and should just work. Boost.Build now mimics the source structure, i.e. you should get both bin/Manager.o and bin/Specializations/Manager.o.

Using System.Reflection and resources in Phalanger

I need to embed some resource in a pure compiled dll written in php using phalanger.
These are txt files tha I set in visual studio as "Embedded Resource".
My problem is that I cannot use the Assembly class to get the resource using GetManifestResourceStream.
I tried code like this:
use System\Reflection\Assembly
$asm = Assembly::GetExecutingAssembly(); //this gives me mscorlib instead of my dll
$str = $asm->GetManifestResourceStream("name");
My question is: how do I get access to embedded resources in phalanger?
Many thanks
I'm not sure, why Assembly::GetExecutingAssembly() returns an incorrect value. Anyway to workaround the $asm value, use following code:
$MyType = CLRTypeOf MyProgram;
$asm = $MyType->Assembly;
Then you can access embedded resources as you posted
$asm->GetManifestResourceStream("TextFile1.txt");
or you can include standard resource file (.resx) into your project, and use \System\Resources\ResourceManager
$this->manager = new \System\Resources\ResourceManager("",$asm);
$this->manager->GetObject("String1",null);
Just note, currently there can be just one .resx within Phalanger project
This question is old, but the part of the Phalanger code (Php.Core.Emit.AddResourceFile() method) responsible for this hasn't changed since this was asked. I faced the same problem and solved it in (almost) non-hacky way. You have to provide alternative name (/res:/path/to/filename,alternative-name) for this to work though.
$asm = clr_typeof('self')->Assembly;
$resourceStream = $asm->GetManifestResourceStream("filename");
$reader = new \System\Resources\ResourceReader($resourceStream);
$type = $data = null;
$reader->GetResourceData("alternative-name", $type, $data);
// and still there are 4 excess bytes
// representing the length of the resource
$data = \substr($data, 4);
$stream = new IO\MemoryStream($data);
// after this $stream is usable as you would expect
Straightforward GetManifestResourceStream() (as suggested by Jakub) does not work because Phalanger does not use System.Reflection.Emit.ModuleBuilder.DefineManifestResource() (like I think it should when supplied with unrecognized file format). It uses ModuleBuilder.DefineResource() which returns ResourceWriter instead, that only really suited for .resources files. And this is what dictates the requirement to use ResourceReader when you need to read your resource.
Note: This answer applies to Phalanger master branch at the time of writing and prior versions since circa 2011. Noted because it looks like a bug (especially the need to use both original and alternative names).

How to fix source is empty error in XML source while using Foreach loop container in SSIS 2012?

I have an issue with a very simple task in SSIS 2012.
I have a for-each container that runs in FOR-EACH-FILE Enumerator mode. I want to read a target folder with XML files. The path to the folder is correctly configured. The files field is set to *.xml
The variable mapping is defined with the follwing Variable: User::FileVar , Index 0.
Now I add a simple data flow task inside the container. The dataflow task only has a XML-Data Source task, that's it. For the XML Data source task, the XSD location is set. When I click choose columns, I can see the columns from the XSD schema.
BUT: When I save the XML task , I always get the error message: The Property XMLDataVariable is empty. I tried both data Access modes, XML file from variable and XML data from variable. The error message remains, I cannot run the package.
I don't use any expressions, neither at the foreach loop container nor at the data flow task.
I dont know what's wrong here, I did the steps exactly as shown in some tutorials for older versions of SSIS.
Do you have any ideas?
The issue is that the XML Source is trying to validate the existence of the given file during the design time. However, you will know the file name only during runtime when the Foreach loop container executes and loops through every XML file available in a given folder.
I recreated an SSIS 2012 package using my answer to one of other SO questions.
SSIS reading multiple xml files from folder
I was able to reproduce the error The property "XMLDataVariable" on the XML Source was empty
On the XML source, I set the property ValidateExternalMetadata to False. Setting this to false will force the package not to verify the existence of the xml file path during design time.
I was successfully able to execute the package.
Hope that helps.

Birt data source parameters from a property file

I have multiple BIRT reports that obtains the data from the same jdbc data source.
Is it possible to obtain the conection parameters (Driver URL, User Name, and Password) from an external property file or similar?
One you create a functional data source, you can add that data source to a report library that can be imported and used by all BIRT reports in your system. The source inside the library can have static connection attributes, or you can abstract them using externalized properties.
If you want to externalize the connection info, you will need to tweak the Data source itself. Inside the Data Source Editor, there is a "Property Binding" section that allows you to abstract all the values governing the data connection. From there you can bind the values (using the expression editor) to either report parameters or a properties file.
To bind to a report parameter, use this syntax: params[parametername].value as the expression.
To bind to a properties file, set the Resource file in the Report's top-level properties. From there you can just use the property key value to bind the entry to the Data Source.
Good Luck!
An alternative to the good #Mystik's "Property binding" solution is externalizing to a connection profile.
Create a data source (say "DS"), setting up a correct configuration of the parameters to connect to a DB.
Right click on "DS" > Externalize to Connection Profile... > check both options, set a name for the Connection Profile, Ok > set the path and filename were to save the Connection Profile Store (say "reportName.cps"), uncheck Encrypt... (in this way we can modify information in the XML file by hand).
Now we have "reportName.cps", an XML file that we can modify according to the environment where we place our report (development, production,...). The problem is that "DS" has loaded statically those info from "reportName.cps". It loads them dinamically if it can find "reportName.cps" in the absolute path we specified. So changing environment the file path will be different and the report won't find our file. To tell the report the correct location of the file and load it dynamically let's write a script:
Setup a beforeOpen script to use the connection profile that is deployed in the resource folder which can be different for every environment:
var myresourcefolder = reportContext.getDesignHandle().getResourceFolder();
this.setExtensionProperty("OdaConnProfileStorePath", myresourcefolder + "/reportName.cps");
For those struggling configuring a connection profile, the files must look as follow (exemple using PostgreSQL as an exemple):
db-config-birt.xml (or whatever name)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<DataTools.ServerProfiles version="1.0">
<profile autoconnect="No" desc="" id="uuid" name="MyPostgreSQL"
providerID="org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc">
<baseproperties>
<property name="odaDriverClass" value="org.postgresql.Driver"/>
<property name="odaURL" value="jdbc:postgresql://XX:5432/YY"/>
<property name="odaPassword" value="zzz"/>
<property name="odaUser" value="abc"/>
</baseproperties>
</profile>
</DataTools.ServerProfiles>
The key points here are:
The xml MUST start with <?xml version="1.0"?> (or <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> but when I was using it, I have having a parsing exception while deploying on Tomcat)
The properties keys MUST be odaDriverClass, odaURL, odaPassword, odaUser (order doesn't matter)
This file must have the right to be accessed, for e.g. chmod 664 this file
If any of the 2 conditions above aren't met, Birt will throw a laconic :
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.EngineException: An exception occurred during processing. Please see the following message for details:
Cannot open the connection for the driver: org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc.
org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc.JDBCException: Missing properties in Connection.open(Properties). ;
org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.OdaException: Unable to find or access the named profile (MyPostgreSQL) in profile store path (/opt/tomcat/mytomcat/conf/db-config-birt.xml). ;
org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.OdaException ;
Then in the report (myreport.rptdesign), in the XML of it, the datasource must then look like that:
myreport.rptdesign (or whatever name)
<data-sources>
<oda-data-source extensionID="org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc" name="MyPostgreSQL" id="320">
<property name="OdaConnProfileName">MyPostgreSQL</property>
<property name="OdaConnProfileStorePath">/opt/tomcat/mytomcat/conf/db-config-birt.xml</property>
</oda-data-source>
</data-sources>
Obviously, you will adapt the OdaConnProfileStorePath to suit your needs
