SPARQL Query questions in WSO2 DSS - authentication

I've got a question with using WSO2 DSS and SPARQL queries in Fedora Commons. At the moment I'm running WSO2 DSS from my desktop machine and accessing it as a localhost service. My SPARQL endpoint is a remote server, running an open source application called Fedora Commons, requires basic authentication to preform a query and accepts input via GET or POST requests with the content of the query being placed in the "query" var. For the sake of this example, we'll say the the endpoint URL I'm attempting to query looks like this:
http://fedoraAdmin:fedoraPW#fedora-server.yoyodyne.com:8080/fedora/risearch?lang=sparql
The query I'm attempting to run works in the Fedora Resource Index Query Service test page and looks like this:
PREFIX fedora: <info:fedora/fedora-system:def/relations-external#>
SELECT ?pid
FROM <#ri>
WHERE {
?pid fedora:isMemberOfCollection <info:fedora/islandora:root>
}
At some point I'd like to replace the identifier of "islandora:root" with a query param, but that's not important at the moment. The result of the above query look something like this:
<sparql>
<head>
<variable name="pid"/>
</head>
<results>
<result>
<pid uri="info:fedora/islandora:sp_basic_image_collection"/>
</result>
<result>
<pid uri="info:fedora/islandora:sp_large_image_collection"/>
</result>
<result>
<pid uri="info:fedora/islandora:70"/>
</result>
<result>
<pid uri="info:fedora/rick:1"/>
</result>
<result>
<pid uri="info:fedora/islandora:419"/>
</result>
<result>
<pid uri="info:fedora/islandora:420"/>
</result>
</results>
</sparql>
Given the above situation and data output, I have created a data service in WSO2 DSS that resembles the following:
<data name="FedoraSPARQL">
<config id="FedoraDEVServer">
<property name="rdf_datasource">http://fedoraAdmin:fedoraPW#fedora-server.yoyodyne.com:8080/fedora/risearch?lang=sparql</property>
</config>
<query id="getMemberOfCollection" useConfig="FedoraDEVServer">
<sparql><![CDATA[PREFIX fedora: <info:fedora/fedora-system:def/relations-external#> SELECT ?pid FROM <#ri> WHERE {?pid fedora:isMemberOfCollection <info:fedora/islandora:root>}]]></sparql>
<result element="results" rowName="result">
<element column="pid" name="pid" xsdType="string"/>
</result>
<param name="targetPID" sqlType="STRING"/>
</query>
<operation name="getMemberOfCollection">
<description>Returns the collection objects under islandora:root</description>
<call-query href="getMemberOfCollection">
<with-param name="targetPID" query-param="targetPID"/>
</call-query>
</operation>
</data>
Currently I'm experiencing a 401 Unauthorized likely due to either a typo or formatting error in the connection string or the fact that WSO2 DSS may not be able to connect to an SPARQL endpoint requiring authentication. My question here is how do I make the above data source work given my current setup? If I can't get authentication working with DSS, I do have the option of bypassing authentication completely if WSO2 DSS were running from another server. Assuming this can be made to work, what change do I need to make to use the "targetPID" query param in place of the "islandora:root" string currently used?

Ah, I think i see the problem with this approach. Wow, I totally misunderstood what a RDF data source operation is supposed to do. Funny how more coffee tends to make things a bit clearer.
When going through the Edit Data Source configuration I see that the property name of "rdf_datasource" in the configuration XML is listed as "RDF File Location" in the data source editor wizard. That make me think that DSS isn't sending any query to the Fedora server as I had hoped but is executing the query (locally) on a pre-existing RDF result it expects to download from the Fedora server.
I guess I need to restructure this as a Web Data Source to get the result I'm expecting.

LabVIEW Parsing XML String without using tools

I am creating an information displaying mini-app for a device. The response I receive from the device when I send an HTTP Get request is literally as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-2"?>
<root xmlns="http://www.papouch.com/xml/th2e/act">
<sns id="1" type="1" status="0" unit="0" val="25.0" w-min="" w-max="" e-min-val=" -0.3" e-max-val=" 124.0" e-min-dte="01/01/2014 13:16:44" e-max-dte="05/14/2014 10:00:43" /><sns id="2" type="2" status="0" unit="3" val="56.4" w-min="" w-max="" e-min-val=" 0.1" e-max-val=" 100.0" e-min-dte="01/27/2014 08:39:14" e-max-dte="03/04/2014 11:02:40" /><sns id="3" type="3" status="0" unit="0" val="15.7" w-min="" w-max="" e-min-val=" -21.3" e-max-val=" 85.9" e-min-dte="01/27/2014 12:21:28" e-max-dte="03/04/2014 11:29:32" /><status frm="1" location="NONAME" time="01/02/2014 7:12:00" typesens="3" /></root>
There are 3 sns elements with incrementing ids, I need to read the val attribute of the sns element with the id 1.
I tried implementing the suggested way here:Get specific XML element attributes in Labview , and shown below is my implementation, but it does not work. I tested the XPath on http://xpather.com/ and it fetches the value I need just fine.
The XPath I am using is: //root/sns[#id="1"]/#val
The result I get when I run is just nothing, no Parsing errors, no any other errors, everything seems to be okay but the String indicator is always empty, String 2 displays the HTTP response fine.
I am using (and have to use) LabVIEW 2011 SP1.
The reason why the result is empty is the wrong input of Get Node Text Content.

CRM Api FetchXml replaces characters when using like

I'm trying to call CRM Api to fetch contacts. The requirement says I can search by name using the LIKE operator.
I'm using the fetchxml below to query CRM:
<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false">
<entity name="contact">
<attribute name="fullname" />
<filter type="and">
<condition attribute="statecode" operator="eq" value="0" />
</filter>
<filter type="and">
<condition attribute="fullname" operator="like" value="%ben%" />
</filter>
</entity>
</fetch>
The problem is: If I try with "test" for example, it works fine. But if I try to search for "ben" it doesn't. I believe the issue is related to encoding but I can't find a way to fix it. Any ideas?
Seems like encoding error in your code. Try to pass your encoded fetchxml query in the below url & test in the browser address bar. If it results the expected record(s) then it’s not platform problem.
https://<yourorg>.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v8.2/contacts?fetchXml=encodedFetchXML
To use FetchXml, we need to format FetchXml in usable Web API service
endpoint format. We do this by storing the FetchXML in a variable and
encoding the string with the encodeURI function native to JavaScript as
below.
var encodedFetchXml = encodeURI(fetchContact);
Read more
Update:
I tested this. Both the below fetch filter worked & gave me the expected contact record in browser test.
<condition attribute="lastname" operator="like" value="%thiy%" />
<condition%20attribute="lastname"%20operator="like"%20value=%27%25thiy%25%27%20/>
Edit:
We faced this issue in our Production application today when users trying to search for %bernhard%, but we are handling in code with value="%%bbbernhard%" as a workaround.

SoapUI Assertions - either XPath or Contains Assertion would be fine

Sample response below. I want to check the existence of a specific error code (860) in the response below. Technically, to avoid picking the error up accidentally in a reference number, I need to be checking it is in the bit labelled < code >860< /code > (inserted spaces so it would show).
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<ns2:activatePortResponse xmlns:ns2="http://transferobjects.abc.abc.org">
<return som="6001365" state="Approved">
<errors>
<error>
<code>860</code>
<description>The Port cannot be activated outside the ready for service dateTime window (grace period taken into account).</description>
<mnemonic>RFS_WINDOW</mnemonic>
</error>
<name>som</name>
</errors>
<success>false</success>
</return>
</ns2:activatePortResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
I was trying to build a set of calls with expected error results to check the the error responses are returned as they should. Going through all the usual garbage messages that meant nothing to me, I just kept tweaking.
Turned out I could use a Contains method and just paste in more, rather than just 860 or even < code >860< /code > I just had to paste in a bigger chunk like this:
<error>
<code>860</code>
<description>The Port cannot be activated outside the ready for service dateTime window (grace period taken into account).</description>
<mnemonic>RFS_WINDOW</mnemonic>
</error>
So I have a solution, but if anyone wants to show me how to do it with XPath, in a less hamfisted way, that would be cool.
You could do an XPath Match assertion with the following expression //error/code, which in the above response message would find 860. This way you know that this 860 has been found at a particular place in the XML hierarchy.

Davical Sync-Token web request

I am trying not to re-invent the wheel here...
I have found some nice documentation on CalDav sync implementation there
According to its website, DaviCal is rfc6578-compliant since v. 0.9.8 (see here).
I therefore first send my request to get the sync token as follows:
PROPFIND http://my_cal_srv/user/calendar_path HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/xml; charset="utf-8"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<d:propfind xmlns:d='DAV:'>
<d:prop>
<d:displayname />
<d:sync-token />
</d:prop>
</d:propfind>
This returns data as expected:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<multistatus xmlns="DAV:">
<response>
<href>/caldav.php/user/calendar_path/</href>
<propstat>
<prop>
<displayname>My Calendar</displayname>
<sync-token>data:,9</sync-token>
</prop>
<status>HTTP/1.1 200 OK</status>
</propstat>
</response>
</multistatus>
So far so good, I have a token, it's "data: ,9". So, let's just try to get changes since 8, the token I had when I queried the server prior to adding some event.
REPORT http://my_cal_srv/user/calendar_path HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/xml; charset="utf-8"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<d:sync-collection xmlns:d="DAV:">
<d:sync-token>8</d:sync-token>
<d:sync-level>1</d:sync-level>
<d:prop>
<d:getetag/>
</d:prop>
</d:sync-collection>
The answer is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<multistatus xmlns="DAV:">
<response>
<href>/caldav.php/user/path/86166f9c-3e2e-4242-9a28-0f3bfb1dd67a-caldavsyncadapter.ics</href>
<propstat>
<prop>
<getetag>"5ed2101b0c867e490dbd71d40c7071bb"</getetag>
</prop>
<status>HTTP/1.1 200 OK</status>
</propstat>
</response>
<response>
<href>/caldav.php/user/path/cb354fab-b41d-49ad-8a4f-8d68c9090ea0.ics</href>
<propstat>
<prop>
<getetag>"334892703f4151024e9232eab9b515a7"</getetag>
</prop>
<status>HTTP/1.1 200 OK</status>
</propstat>
</response>
<sync-token>data:,9</sync-token>
</multistatus>
After deleting an entry (so I get sync-token 10, and still compare using token 8), I get following result :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<multistatus xmlns="DAV:">
<response>
<href>/caldav.php/user/cal_path/86166f9c-3e2e-4242-9a28-0f3bfb1dd67a-caldavsyncadapter.ics</href>
<status>HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found</status>
</response>
<response>
<href>/caldav.php/user/cal_path/cb354fab-b41d-49ad-8a4f-8d68c9090ea0.ics</href>
<propstat>
<prop>
<getetag>"334892703f4151024e9232eab9b515a7"</getetag>
</prop>
<status>HTTP/1.1 200 OK</status>
</propstat>
</response>
<sync-token>data:,10</sync-token>
</multistatus>
So I am a little confused here as I don't really know how to interpret these results...
Could anybody please explain to me how to extract the sync info from here? It is a little hard to figure out the changes types because the ICS namings are unclear...
Thanks in advance for helping out... And merry X-Mas !

That you get a "data:,9" doesn't imply you can actually query "data:,8" or ,7 etc. Sync tokens are opaque and do NOT give you a versioning system (you need sth like DAV Versioning Extensions for that).
DAV sync-tokens are a simple optimization technique - nothing more. They are completely opaque to the client and the server can expire sync tokens at any time (and is not required to save tombstones and such). Eg a server which can't store tombstones can simply expire tokens on DELETE requests.
The way you use sync-tokens is:
to figure out which child collections of a parent collection need to be re-synced
to optimize syncing of a the resources within a child collection
1) Which child collections need to be synced
Assume you have a collection of calendars (e.g. my_cal_srv/user/) and you do a PROPFIND Depth:1 on this collection, asking for the sync-tokens of the child collections. If those don't match the ones of your clients cache anymore, you know you need to perform a sync of just those child collections.
Note: do NOT use the token you got back from this request to sync the child collection (which is what you do above). It might have expired already. Within sync-reports only use tokens you got from sync-reports!
2) Optimizing syncing of the collection contents
Again: sync-token's are an optimization, nothing more. You always need to be prepared to get an (in)valid-sync-token precondition error (which means the server expired the token) and do a full refetch of the collection contents! And then compare that (URL,ETag) to your cached version to figure out what the changes are. (essentially all the steps you need to do when you have a server which doesn't support sync-reports).
If you get a sync-token in the sync-report results, you can then use it in the next sync-request. If the server still has the state, it'll just give you the changes. If it expired the token, it'll give you the sync-token error.
Note: In case it isn't obvious - in the very first sync-request you don't (can't) provide a token. You run the query w/o a token and get back all the contents. You do the same again if the server sends you an (in)valid-sync-token error.
You're not doing a correct request. In your request you have:
<d:sync-token>8</d:sync-token>
But this should be:
<d:sync-token>data:,8</d:sync-token>
Aside from that, the first response you are getting tells you that:
These resources have been changed or newly created:
/caldav.php/user/path/86166f9c-3e2e-4242-9a28-0f3bfb1dd67a-caldavsyncadapter.ics
/caldav.php/user/path/cb354fab-b41d-49ad-8a4f-8d68c9090ea0.ics
The second response tells you:

/caldav.php/user/cal_path/cb354fab-b41d-49ad-8a4f-8d68c9090ea0.ics

Tsung Issue with Dyn_Variable

I am very new to ERLANG and TSung, I never worked in this areas, but I am very much keen to know the fundamentals and do distributed load test for my web application. I am in half the way to complete, but I have a big hurdle and not able to moving forward , please read below tsung.xml file and advise me where & what I am missing?
**===> tsung.xml (this file perfectly working without any errors)**

When I run this url (it is web service call) "http://_127.000.000.112/Create_Rec" in the web browser, I get the following similar response from Server (in the back ground it creates the record in database and generates new id i.e. myId). When I run above tsung.xml, the first request working perfectly fine as I expected.

What I am looking here, I need to grab the myId from first request and pass into second request myId=%%_myId%%, but it is never working and myId always empty string. I am beyond of dyn_variable since two days, no clue and proper examples/documentation on it. Please suggest me, what I am missing.
You will have to set up the subst="true" in your request for substitution to work. So, your request should change to..
<request subst="true">
If still it doesn't work then I would suggest you to see the tsung.dump file and check the response which you are getting from server
