How can I add a Custom Payload to an Intent with Dialogflow's Java Client?

I was able to create an Intent in Dialogflow following this example:
https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/docs/manage-intents#create_intent
That worked just fine, adding plain text responses to that Intent. However, my Dialogflow Agent is using both text responses and a Custom Payload. I can't find any documentation explaining how to do this, so I tried playing around with the code.
I was able to get an empty Custom Payload to show by doing this:
Builder messageBuilder = Message.newBuilder();
messageBuilder.setText(Text.newBuilder().addAllText(messageTexts).build());
messageBuilder.setPayload(Struct.newBuilder().build());
However, this results in JUST the Custom Payload, not the Text responses. I have two questions:
How can I add some String content to the Custom Payload?
How can I have both Text responses and Custom Payload at the same time?

You can use the Struct.newBuilder().putFields(field).build());
where field is a Value that you can build as below :
Value.newBuilder().setStringValue(yourStringValue).build();

Android Retrofit - send dynamic number of POST parameters

I need to send a dynamic number of POST parameter values to an endpoint (there could be 1 or there could be 50). All of them will have the same key value.
Is this possible? I can't seem to figure out how to create a RequestBody that encompasses something like this, even when I try to construct it in plain text.
I have the list of strings prepared for it, but I just don't know how to create this kind of thing. The endpoint works in PostMan when I input a lot of post form parameters with the same key value, so the endpoint is setup properly for it. I'm just not sure if Retrofit supports this kind of thing, and I cannot seem to find any info around it.
I'm currently working with Java instead of Kotlin. Thoughts?

You can also pass multiple field parameter to your request like this:
#FormUrlEncoded
#POST("/oauth/access_token")
Call<YourResponseObject> sendData(
#FieldMap Map<String, String> params
);
The map can take variable number of args.
So you can pass data like:
/*
map = { "field1_key"="value1", "field2_key"="value2", "field3_key"="value3", ...}
*/
retrofit().create(YourInterface.class).sendData(mapOfFields)
p.s: retrofit() is a method that returns a Retrofit instance to work with.

OVH JAVA API using Get request with parameters

am trying to create a web interface to interact with OVH's telephony API ovh telephony api using the official JAVA wrapper OVH java wrapper.
I am trying to use a GET endpoint with parameters. this is the endpoint:
GET /telephony/{billingAccount}/line/{serviceName}/statistics
Parameters:
timeframe: string;
type : string
This is how I am doing the call:
api.get("/telephony/{myBuildingAccount}/line/{myServiceNumber}/statistics", "timeframe=daily&type=maxDelay", true);
But I am getting an error 400 bad signature.
Could someone help me with this ?

The API of the java wrapper specifies that the api.get method receives as the second parameter (in the three parameters version of api.get) the GET body; but you are passing a string containing the URL parameters:
api.get("/telephony/{ACCT}/line/{NUM}/statistics", "timeframe=daily&type=maxDelay", true);
Since the request you need does not require a body and does require the parameters in the URL, you need to use the following invocation:
api.get("/telephony/{ACCT}/line/{NUM}/statistics?timeframe=daily&type=maxDelay", true);
Pay attention that {ACCT} and {NUM} must be replaced by the actual account and service number values in that first string. Also, notice the parameters are appended directly into the string URL.
Hope this helps.

Using Olingo v2 Java as client for PATCH to OData v2 service

I'm trying to use Olingo to provide a client for interacting with an OData service (also written in Olingo). I'm trying to send a PATCH. However, the standard validation routines are kicking in and if I do not include those elements of the entity that are marked as non-nullable using the standard Olingo tools, I get an error.
in https://olingo.apache.org/doc/odata2/tutorials/OlingoV2BasicClientSample.html it says:
With an HTTP MERGE/PATCH it is also possible to send only the to be updated data as POST Body and omitting the unchanged data. But this is (currently) not shown within this sample.
Unfortunately I'm not sure how to do this, there, doesn't seem to be anywhere to flag to the EntityProvider.writeEntry method that it is a PATCH not a POST/PUT
EntityProviderWriteProperties properties = EntityProviderWriteProperties
.serviceRoot(rootUri).omitJsonWrapper(true).contentOnly(true)
.build();
// serialize data into ODataResponse object
ODataResponse response = EntityProvider.writeEntry(contentType,
entitySet, data, properties);
At this point in my code I get an error if "data" does not contain an entry for my non-nullable fields. The response also returns null values for all the attributes of the entity that aren't in my "data".
I deal with this by manipulating the response to remove all entries not in my "data" after the "standard" generation, but imagine that there must be a better way, even if I can't see it. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

You have to create an "ExpandSelectTreeNode" which contains only the name of the selected properties to be serialized.
Assuming that your data is a HashMap with the values you can use following code as an example to start from:
// data = new HashMap<>();
ExpandSelectTreeNode node = ExpandSelectTreeNode.entitySet(entitySet)
.selectedProperties(new ArrayList<String>(data.keySet())).build();
EntityProviderWriteProperties properties = EntityProviderWriteProperties
.serviceRoot(rootUri).omitJsonWrapper(true).contentOnly(true)
.expandSelectTree(node)
.build();
// serialize data into ODataResponse object
ODataResponse response = EntityProvider.writeEntry(contentType,
entitySet, data, properties);
Best Regards

Is the contenttype from the client application/json-patch+json ?

PHP how to consume SOAP web services?

I'm very new in using web services. Appreciate if anyone can help me on this.
In my PHP codes, I'm trying to use the SOAP web services from another server (JIRA, java). The JIRA SOAP API is shown here.
$jirasoap = new SoapClient($jiraserver['url']);
$token = $jirasoap->login($jiraserver['username'], $jiraserver['password']);
$remoteissue = $jirasoap->getIssue($token, "issuekey");
I found that my codes have no problem to call the functions listed on that page. However, I don't know how to use the objects returned by the API calls.
My question are:
In my PHP codes, how can I use the methods in the Java class objects returned by SOAP API calls?
For example, the function $remoteissue = $jirasoap->getIssue($a, $b) will return a RemoteIssue. Based on this (http://docs.atlassian.com/rpc-jira-plugin/latest/com/atlassian/jira/rpc/soap/beans/RemoteIssue.html), there are methods like getSummary, getKey, etc. How can I use these functions in my codes?
Based on some PHP examples I found from the internet, it seems that everyone is using something like this:
$remoteissue = $jirasoap->getIssue($token, "issuekey");
$key = $remoteissue->key;
They are not using the object's methods.
Refer to this example, it seems that someone is able to do this in other languages. Can it be done in PHP too?
The problem I'm facing is that, I am trying to get the ID of an Attachment. However, it seems that we can't get the Attachment ID using this method: $attachmentid = $remoteattachment->id;. I am trying to use the $remoteattachment->getId() method.
In PHP codes, after we made a SOAP API call and received the returned objects, how do we know what data fields are available in that object?
For example,
$remoteissue = $jirasoap->getIssue($token, "issuekey");
$summary = $remoteissue->summary;
How do we know ->summary is available in $remoteissue?
When i refer to this document (http://docs.atlassian.com/rpc-jira-plugin/latest/com/atlassian/jira/rpc/soap/beans/RemoteIssue.html), I don't see it mention any data fields in RemoteIssue. How do we know we can get key, summary, etc, from this object? How do we know it is ->summary, not ->getsummary? We need to use a web browser to open the WSDL URL?
Thanks.

This question is over one year old, but to share knowledge and provide an answer to people who have this same question and found this page, here are my findings.
The document mentioned in the question is an overview of the JiraSoapService interface. This is a good reference for what functions can be called with which arguments and what they return.
If you use Java for your Jira SoapClient the returned objects are implemented, but if you use PHP, the returned objects aren't of the type stated in this documentation and do not have any of the methods mentioned. The returned objects are instances of the internal PHP class stdClass, which is a placeholder for undefined objects. The best way to know what is returned is to use var_dump() on the objects returned from the SoapCalls.
$jirasoap = new SoapClient($jiraserver['url']);
$token = $jirasoap->login($jiraserver['username'], $jiraserver['password']);
$remoteissue = $jirasoap->getIssue($token, "PROJ-1");
var_dump($remoteissue);
/* -- You will get something like this ---
object(stdClass)#2 (21) {
["id"]=> string(3) "100"
["affectsVersions"]=> array(0) { }
["assignee"]=> string(4) "user"
...
["created"]=> string(24) "2012-12-13T09:27:49.934Z"
...
["description"]=> string(17) "issue description"
....
["key"]=> string(6) "PROJ-1"
["priority"]=> string(1) "3"
["project"]=> string(4) "PROJ"
["reporter"]=> string(4) "user"
["resolution"]=> NULL
["status"]=> string(1) "1"
["summary"]=> string(15) "Project issue 1"
["type"]=> string(1) "3"
["updated"]=> string(24) "2013-01-21T16:11:43.073Z"
["votes"]=> int(0)
}
*/
// You can access data like this:
$jiraKey = $remoteissue->key;
$jiraProject = $remoteissue->project;

The document you referred to in #2 is to a Java implementation and really doesn't give you any help with PHP. If they do not publish a public API for their service (which would be unusual), then using the WSDL as a reference will let you know what objects and methods are accepted by the service and you can plan your method calls accordingly.
The technique you used to call getIssue(...) seems fine, although you should consider using try...catch in case of a SoapException.

I have used Jira SOAP in .NET project and IntelliSense hinted me what fields are available for returned object.
You can use something like VS.Php for Visual Studio or Php for Visual Studio if you are using Visual Studio.
Or you can choose one of the IDEs from here with support of IntelliSense.
