Azure App Configuration Feature Management

I am looking for a solution using Maven and Java (Not Spring) where I can upload all my Key and labels and flag value by Json to deploy.
When I configure my project in Jenkins it should apply all the values which are changed.
Kindly provide me some directions, I tried lot with less material on this topic

I managed to workout the solution. Basically following this Microsoft Azure Link
, but not completely solved my problem by this link though. Below is the Code Snippet which solved my problem. Code is not testable or productionable , this is just for reference.
public void process() {
String value = "{\"id\": \"test\", \"description\": \"Sample Feature\",\"enabled\": false,\"conditions\": { \"client_filters\": []}}";
DefaultAzureCredential credential = new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build();
ConfigurationClient configurationClient = new ConfigurationClientBuilder()
.connectionString(END_POINT)
.buildClient();
final ConfigurationSetting configurationSetting = new ConfigurationSetting();
configurationSetting.setKey(format(".appconfig.abc/%s", "abc"));
configurationSetting.setLabel("lable");
configurationSetting.setContentType("application/vnd.microsoft.appconfig.ff+json;charset=utf-8");
configurationSetting.setValue(value);
configurationClient.addConfigurationSettingWithResponse(configurationSetting, NONE)
}
Key points here is ".appconfig.abc" , At this point of time we don't have direct call to Feature Management , but we can add Key and labels to configuration as I said in the code snippet but with the Key as ".appconfig.abc" which you can get this info from portal. And the value should be a Json object, how we make this Json is upto you really.
Overall so much of information around the sites but none of them are connected in Java world for Azure. May be helpful to any one.
End Point , one can get from the Configuration Access Keys.

Is it possible to get Direct Messages from Twitter by a specific user using the Twitter4j library?

I'm using the Twitter4j library to develop a proyect that works with Twitter, one of the things what I need is to get the Direct messages, I'm using the following code:
try{
List<DirectMessage> loStatusList = loTwitter.getDirectMessages();
for (DirectMessage loStatus : loStatusList) {
System.out.println(loStatus.getId() + ",#" + loStatus.getSenderScreenName() + "," + loStatus.getText() + "|");
}
}
catch(Exception e)
It works fine, but what the code returns is a list of the most recent messages in general. What I want is to get those direct messages using some kind of filter that allows finding them by a user that I indicate.
For example, I need to see the DM only from user #TwitterUser.
Is this posible with this library?
All kinds of suggestions are accepted, even if I should use another library I would be grateful if you let me know.

It looks like the actual Twitter API doesn't support a direct filter on that API, by username anyway. (See Twitter API doc: GET direct_messages.)
Which means, you'd have to make multiple calls to the API with pagination enabled, and cache the responses into a list.
Here is an example of pagination wtih Twitter4J getDirectMessages().
In that example, use the existing:
List<DirectMessage> messages;
But inside the loop, do:
messages.addAll(twitter.getDirectMessages(paging));
Note: you only would have to do this once. And in fact, you should persist these to a durable local cache like Redis or something. Because once you have the last message id, you can ask the Twitter API to only return "messages since id" with the since_id param.
Anyway, then on the client side you'd just do your filtering with the usual means in Java. For example:
// Joe is on twitter as #joe
private static final String AT_JOE = "Joe";
// Java 8 Lambda to filter by screen name
List<DirectMessage> messagesFromJoe = messages.stream()
.filter(message -> message.getSenderScreenName().equals(AT_JOE))
.collect(Collectors.toList());
Above, getSenderScreenName() was discovered by reading the Twitter4J API doc for DirectMessage.

How to increment/update a issue custom Value in JIRA, based on its previous value?

Hello I have a lot of automatic issue creation and commenting in JIRA. And wanted to add to the issue a customField named "Number of automatic updates" that increments everytime an issues is commented. The tipical solution for this is using the number of comments but that is not possible in because the comments are limited programatically to 20. So in this case I would always have at max 20.
Is there any straightforward method that makes it possible to do so?
I'm trying this approach but it keeps giving me exception and errors related to the CustomField Object:
MutableIssue issue = IM.getIssueObject(alreadyReportedIssueId);
private static final String COMMENTNUMBER_CUSTOMFIELD_ID = "commentnumber-customfield-id";
private static final CustomField customFieldObject = CustomFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName(COMMENTNUMBER_CUSTOMFIELD_ID);
issue.setCustomFieldValue(COMMENTNUMBER_CUSTOMFIELD_ID, (Integer.parseInt(customFieldObject.getValue(issue))++));
PS: The version of JIRA I'm using is: version 3.13.5

This seems trivial with the Jira REST API?

box-api search parameters not working?

I'm using the Java SDK to connect to Box. I find the root folder (this is a small dev instance so I don't mind searching from there.) I execute the search query and I get results. My problem is that the search parameters do not seem to work consistently or at all.
For example, this query
Iterator resultSet = rootFolder.search("query=NR_chewy_chic_swt_pot_app&file_extensions=jpg&content_type=name&type=file").iterator();
returns three entries.
NR_chewy_chic_swt_pot_app.jpg
NR Chewy Chicken AD02.xls
PreInvoice_M197301-3644756_NR Chewy Treats SURP.pdf
I remove the substring "&file_extensions=jpg" because it doesn't seem to do anything and save/recompile/run and I get the same three results.
I change "&type=file" to "&type=folder" and I get the same three results.
I change "query=NR_chewy_chic_swt_pot_app" to "query=NR" and I get NO results. Even though SO user Peter (who appears to work for Box) says that partial strings should match1.
I've tried rearranging the order of the search parameters to no avail. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Eric B.

Advanced search has yet to be implemented in the SDK (since it's still in beta), but it will be added in the coming weeks.
The reason why your call doesn't work is because the query method parameter is sent as the "query" URL parameter in the API call. Therefore, the ampersands in your query string are being escaped.
If you need an immediate workaround, you can use the BoxAPIRequest and BoxAPIResponse classes to make a custom search request. For example:
BoxAPIConnection api = new BoxAPIConnection("token");
URL url = new URL("https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=NR_chewy_chic_swt_pot_app&file_extensions=jpg&content_type=name&type=file")
BoxAPIRequest request = new BoxAPIRequest(api, url, "GET");
BoxJSONResponse response = (BoxJSONResponse) request.send();
String json = response.getJSON();
Sorry that this wasn't clear. We'll update the documentation to make it more explicit that query represents the query field and not the URL query string.

Elasticsearch: send JSON query string via Java client?

I am new to Elasticsearch. I read Elasticsearch's Java client APIs and am able to build query and send it to the Elasticsearch server via the transport client.
Because my query is quite complex with multi-level filters and I notice that it is cumbersome to build a query via the Java client. I feel that it is much simpler to build a JSON query string and then send it over to the Elasticsearch server via a Java client.
Is this something Elasticsearch offers?
I do like what Elasticsearch Java API can do after receiving results such as scrolling over the results. I want to keep these features.
Thanks for any input and links!
Regards.

Did further research on Elasticsearch API and found out that Elasticsearch does offer this capability. Here is how:
SearchResponse scrollResp = client.prepareSearch("my-index")
.setTypes("my-type")
.setSearchType(SearchType.SCAN)
.setQuery(query) // **<-- Query string in JSON format**
.execute().actionGet();

You can no longer pass in string to the .setQuery function, however you can use a WrapperQueryBuilder like this:
WrapperQueryBuilder builder = QueryBuilders.wrapperQuery(searchQuery);
SearchRequestBuilder sr = client.prepareSearch().setIndices(index).setTypes(mapping).setQuery(builder);

I'd recommend using the Java API, it is very good once you get used to it and in most cases it is less cumbersome. If you look through the Elasticsearch source code you will see that the Java API Builds the JSON under the hood. Here is an example from the MatchAllQueryBuilder:
#Override
public void doXContent(XContentBuilder builder, Params params) throws IOException {
builder.startObject(MatchAllQueryParser.NAME);
if (boost != -1) {
builder.field("boost", boost);
}
if (normsField != null) {
builder.field("norms_field", normsField);
}
builder.endObject();
}

ElasticSearch has built in capabilities to do exactly what you need, in an organized manner.
To answer your question, please see this link (the material is gone on elastic's site, so it might no longer work):
https://web.archive.org/web/20150906215934/https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-api/current/search.html
All you have to do is build a simple file which contains your search template i.e complex search query.
It can be a simple json file, or a text file.
Now you simply pass in your parameters, through your java code.
See the example in the link, it makes things amply clear.
