Extract Object Data into usable format - java

I am a real newbie so go easy on me and my terminology, I am still learning!
I have a Backendless database I would like to show in my app.
I have successfully connected it to my Android Studio app, queried it and returned the data in the following method:
Backendless.Data.of( "database" ).find( queryBuilder, new AsyncCallback>(){public void handleResponse(List'<'Map'>'response ){
The narrative on the Backendless SDK says "the "response" object is a collection of java.util.Map objects"
I then used an iterator:
Iterator itr = response.iterator();
And a while loop to 'get' the object:
Object element = itr.next();
I am happy up until this point, the next step is to extract the useful data from element.
I have tried many options of but the only one I have working is element.toString() and use various methods to pick out what I want. This seems so inefficient I thought I would ask the experts for a better option!?

Your question is rather about working with Java Map interface. So I'd advice you to look into its documentation and maybe some tutorials on this topic.
As to your Backendless question, it looks like you got the request part right. Here is the extended example from the docs, which shows you how to retrieve the object fields:
Backendless.Persistence.of( "Contact" ).find( new AsyncCallback<List<Map<String, Object>>>(){
#Override
public void handleResponse( List<Map<String, Object>> foundContacts )
{
Iterator<Map<String, Object>> contactsIterator = foundContacts.iterator();
while( contactsIterator.hasNext() )
{
Map<String, Object> contact = contactsIterator.next();
String name = (String) contact.get( "name" ); // in case you have STRING field 'name' in Backendless database
Integer age = (Integer) contact.get( "age" ); // in case you have INT field 'age' in Backendless database
// etc.
}
}
#Override
public void handleFault( BackendlessFault fault )
{
System.out.err( "Failed find: " + fault );
}
});
As you may see, the main concern is to retrieve a Map instead of Object from the response List.
And also your question would be more useful with code samples of what you tried and maybe direct link to the docs you used as an example.

I am only receiving partial output from an object Groovy

I have an object in Groovy and in this object there appears to be either a map. I am trying to get the "value" rather than the key from this objects map. How do I go about doing something like this?
This is the output I am receiving in my console the first is the object and the 2nd is the output for the property fromValues...
<com.atlassian.jira.issue.changehistory.ChangeHistoryItem#b791639b id=10130 changeGroupId=10113 userKey=Charley field=status projectId=10000 issueId=10217 issueKey=ICB-128 created=2019-03-12 14:19:22.0 nextChangeCreated=292278994-08-17 02:12:55.807 fromValues=[10003:To Do] toValues=[3:In Progress]>
[runner.ScriptRunnerImpl]: 10003
Here is my code below that I am working with so far in attempt to get this information: (Just so you understand the context... I am pulling an issue from Jira software and extracting the history of that particular issue.)
IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject("ICB-128");
def changeHistoryManager = ComponentAccessor.getChangeHistoryManager()
def changeItems = changeHistoryManager.getAllChangeItems(issue)
//def changeItems = changeHistoryManager.getChangeHistoriesSince(issue, since)
changeItems.eachWithIndex { item, index ->
//log.warn(changeItems.dump())
def last_change = changeItems[index]
log.warn(last_change.dump())
def text = "LAST MODIFIED FIELD:"+ last_change["field"] + "; FROM VALUE:"+ last_change["fromValue"] + "; TO VALUE:"+ last_change["toValue"]
if (last_change["fromValue"])
{
log.warn(last_change["fromValue"])
}
}
Edit 1: I have corrected for what #vahid suggested and now have both values returned how I want it. I have tried numerous ways to call and retrieve specifically the value for that map and nothing has worked (.get or .value or even .key)... Any suggestions?
Edit 2: Turns out this extracted field is now considered as a type "hashmap"

Convert DirectoryObject to User

Given a query for members of a particular directory role, I would like to return a list of corresponding users. What I have is this:
IDirectoryObjectCollectionWithReferencesRequest request = graphServiceClient.directoryRoles(roleId).members().buildRequest();
IDirectoryObjectCollectionWithReferencesPage page = request.select(USER_FIELDS_TO_RETURN).get();
List<DirectoryObject> objects = page.getCurrentPage();
IDirectoryObjectCollectionWithReferencesRequestBuilder builder = page.getNextPage();
while (builder != null) {
request = builder.buildRequest();
page = request.select(USER_FIELDS_TO_RETURN).get();
objects.addAll(page.getCurrentPage());
builder = page.getNextPage();
}
return objects.stream().filter(o -> o.oDataType.equals("#microsoft.graph.user")).map(o -> new User()).collect(Collectors.toList());
The question lies in the return statement. Filter on only user objects (couldn't find a more elegant way of doing this than comparing the oDataType) and return the user object with the contents of o:
objects.stream().filter(o -> o.oDataType.equals("#microsoft.graph.user")).map(o -> {
// the only thing that I could think of is to do some weird
// serialization/deserialization logic here which is a bad solution
// for anything other than a small number of elements
}).collect(Collectors.toList());
what is the correct way of converting DirectoryObject to User
Microsoft Graph does not currently support this requirement.
If you're checking a specific directoryRole, you could come at this from the other direction. The /members endpoint does support filtering by member id:
v1.0/directoryRoles/{role-id}/members?$filter=id eq '{user-id}'
Please check the answers and workarounds provided in this thread. How to get admin roles that I am a member of, from Microsoft Graph using .Net Client SDK?
I know this is an old question, but I had the same problem and found a better solution.
You can actually convert it to a user after you have the list. So if you are iterating through the list:
var myDirectoryList = (List<DirectoryObject>)myRetrievedList;
foreach(var item in myDirectoryList)
{
var myUser = (User)item;
Console.WriteLine($"My name is {myUser.GivenName}");
}
Where DirectoryObject is Microsoft.Graph.DirectoryObject and User is Microsoft.Graph.User.
Just had the same problem, so, for anyone getting there, here is what i did (And i could not find any other simple solution...).
What you call "some weird serialization/deserialization logic" can actually be done this way using the DefaultSerializer :
private ISerializer serializer = new DefaultSerializer(new DefaultLogger());
...
objects.stream().filter(o -> o.oDataType.equals("#microsoft.graph.user")).map(o -> {
return serializer.deserializeObject(o.getRawObject().toString(), User.class)
}).collect(Collectors.toList());

Updating pre-existing documents in mongoDB java driver when you've changed document structure

I've got a database of playerdata that has some pre-existing fields from previous versions of the program. Example out-dated document:
{
"playername": "foo"
}
but a player document generated under the new version would look like this:
{
"playername": "bar",
"playercurrency": 20
}
the issue is that if I try to query playercurrency on foo I get a NullPointerException because playercurrency doesn't exist for foo. I want to add the playercurrency field to foo without disturbing any other data that could be stored in foo. I've tried some code using $exists Example:
players.updateOne(new Document("playername", "foo"), new Document("$exists", new Document("playername", "")));
players.updateOne(new Document("playername", "foo"), new Document("$exists", new Document("playercurrency", 20)));
My thought is that it updates only playercurrency because it doesn't exist and it would leave playername alone becuase it exists. I might be using exists horribly wrong, and if so please do let me know because this is one of my first MongoDB projects and I would like to learn as much as I possibly can.
Do you have to do this with java? Whenever I add a new field that I want to be required I just use the command line to migrate all existing documents. This will loop through all players that don't have a playercurrency and set it to 0 (change to whatever default you want):
db.players.find({playercurrency:null}).forEach(function(player) {
player.playercurrency = 0; // or whatever default value
db.players.save(player);
});
This will result in you having the following documents:
{
"playername" : "foo",
"playercurrency" : 0
}
{
"playername" : "bar",
"playercurrency" : 20
}
So I know that it is normally frowned upon on answering your own question, but nobody really posted what I ended up doing I would like to take this time to thank #Mark Watson for answering and ultimately guiding me to finding my answer.
Since checking if a certain field is null doesn't work in the MongoDB Java Driver I needed to find a different way to know when something is primed for an update. So after a little bit of research I stumbled upon this question which helped me come up with this code:
private static void updateValue(final String name, final Object defaultValue, final UUID key) {
if (!exists(name, key)) {
FindIterable iterable = players.find(new Document("_id", key));
iterable.forEach(new Block<Document>() {
#Override
public void apply(Document document) {
players.updateOne(new Document("_id", key), new Document("$set", new Document(name, defaultValue)));
}
});
}
}
private static boolean exists(String name, UUID key) {
Document query = new Document(name, new Document("$exists", true)).append("_id", key);
return players.count(query) == 1;
}
Obviously this is a little specialized to what I wanted to do, but with little revisions it can be easliy changed to work with anything you might need. Make sure to replace players with your Collection object.

Save object to file. "Delete object", but find it in a statistic- and history search. UPDATED

I am working on a insurance-schoolproject where I should be able to create a new client, add insurances (house, car, boat, etc) and save to file. I am using
public void skrivTilFil(HashMap hm) {
if ( hm != null ) {
try (ObjectOutputStream utStream =
new ObjectOutputStream(
new FileOutputStream(filename))) {
utStream.writeObject (hm);
The thing is that I should be able to delete objects (a house-, a car-insurance, the client itself, etc) BUT I must have a history- and statisticsearch where both the objects and deleted objects show.
I have thought about saving to two different files, and delete from just one file. Meaning I have one file where I delete and an other file for the history- and statisticsearch. But I am definitely not allowes to double-save. So I understand it so I only can have one file therefore cannot delete the objects.
I have also thought about having a boolean value where "false" = show, and "true" = deleted. Then show only "show-objects" and not "deleted" when necessary, and both "false" and "true" when searching history and statistics.
So I have made this method:
public void eraseCustomer( int insurancenr )
{
Iterator<Map.Entry<Integer, Person>> iterator = vindu.register.personTM.entrySet().iterator() ;
while(iterator.hasNext())
{
Map.Entry<Integer, Person> insuranceNrEntry = iterator.next();
if( insurancenr == insuranceNrEntry.getKey())
{
Vindu.setUtskriftsomraadet("Found person " + insuranceNrEntry.getValue() );
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "arrived at eraseCustomer");
}
Running this code shows that I get a value, like "Person#2936643".
What I need is to get the name of the person/object (String lastname) and to set that personboolean to true.
I have a insurancenrkey to find this person.
So 1:
Is it possible to update that personobject with boolean = true an easy way, or do I have to make a new object and then replace it with the object I found? I just need to change the booleanvalue, not the name, birthday, etc.
2:
How do I get the name of the object and not Person#2936643?
The thing is that this is way over my knowledge... Do you have any tips or suggestions on how I can do this, that would be very much appreciated!
(I'm norwegian so please excuse me for the bad english)

Trying to compare a HashSet element with an element in a List

I have a HashSet that I created and this is what it contains. It will contain more later on, this is pasted from standard out when I did a toString on it. Just to show the contents.
foo.toString(): Abstractfoo [id=2, serial=1d21d, value=1.25, date=2012-09-02 12:00:00.0]
INFO [STDOUT] price.toString(): Abstractfoo [id=1, serial=1d24d, value=1.30, date=2012-09-19 12:00:00.0]
I have a List that I also have and I need to compare the two. One of the elements in List is:
Bar.toString(): Bar [id=1d21d, name=Dell, description=Laptop, ownerId=null]
Here is what I am trying to do...
Bar contains all of the elements I want foo to have. There will only be one unique serial. I would like my program to see if an element in the list that is in HashSet contains the id for bar. So serial == id.
Here is what I've been trying to do
Removed code and added clearer code below
I've verified the data is getting entered into the HashSet and List correctly by viewing it through the debugger.
foo is being pulled from a database through hibernate, and bar is coming from a different source. If there is an element in bar I need to add it to a list and I'm passing it back to my UI where I'll enter some additional data and then commit it to the database.
Let me know if this makes sense and if I can provide anymore information.
Thanks
EDIT: Here is the class
#RequestMapping(value = "/system", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public #ResponseBody
List<AbstractSystem> SystemList() {
// Retrieve system list from database
HashSet<AbstractSystem> systemData = new HashSet<AbstractSystem>(
systemService.getSystemData());
// Retrieve system info from cloud API
List<SystemName> systemName= null;
try {
systemName = cloudClass.getImages();
} catch (Exception e) {
LOG.warn("Unable to get status", e);
}
// Tried this but, iter2 only has two items and iter has many more.
// In production it will be the other way around, but I need to not
// Have to worry about that
Iterator<SystemName> iter = systemName.iterator();
Iterator<AbstractSystem> iter2 = systemData .iterator();
while(iter.hasNext()){
Image temp = iter.next();
while(iter2.hasNext()){
AbstractPricing temp2 = iter2.next();
System.out.println("temp2.getSerial(): " + temp2.getSerial());
System.out.println("temp.getId(): " + temp.getId());
if(temp2.getSerial().equals(temp.getId())){
System.out.println("This will be slow...");
}
}
}
return systemData;
}
If N is the number of items in systemName and M is the number of items in systemData, then you've effectively built an O(N*M) method.
If you instead represent your systemData as a HashMap of AbstractSystem by AbstractSystem.getSerial() values, then you just loop through the systemName collection and lookup by systemName.getId(). This becomes more like O(N+M).
(You might want to avoid variables like iter, iter2, temp2, etc., since those make the code harder to read.)
EDIT - here's what I mean:
// Retrieve system list from database
HashMap<Integer, AbstractSystem> systemDataMap = new HashMap<AbstractSystem>(
systemService.getSystemDataMap());
// Retrieve system info from cloud API
List<SystemName> systemNames = cloudClass.getImages();
for (SystemName systemName : systemNames) {
if (systemDataMap.containsKey(systemName.getId()) {
System.out.println("This will be slow...");
}
}
I used Integer because I can't tell from your code what the type of AbstractSystem.getSerial() or SystemName.getId() are. This assumes that you store the system data as a Map elsewhere. If not, you could construct the map yourself here.
