How to search inside an String array for Names using created database

Total noob here.
I just started learning java and would like to create a program so my teacher does not need to count everyone just to figure out who is missing.
For this, I would need input data.
We use teams to learn java so the people who are attending could write something in chat so the teacher can copy/paste this as input data for my program.
This is what I already have:
String names = "Tupac Shakur,Randy Bobandy,Michael Scott,Randy Marsh,Leslie Knope,you mum gey,no u";
String[] arr = names.split(",");
System.out.println("Bot NaniPoonani: Who is here Tool v1 ");
System.out.println("Bot NaniPoonani: Copy/paste the chat data here: ");
Scanner inputNames = new Scanner(System.in);
String ScanNames = inputNamen.next();
String[] FilterdInputNames = ScanNamen.split(Arrays.toString(arr));
String[] FilterdNames = names.split(",");
for (String ss : arr);
System.out.println(" ");
System.out.println(" ");
System.out.println(" ");
System.out.println(" ");
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(FilterdInputNames));
}
This code did not work how I expected and I'm kinda blocked.
The second problem is the chat input is filled with not need data, here is an example:
> [Yesterday 4:44 PM] Tupac Shakur
Ja Patrick..
​[Yesterday 4:45 PM] James Bond
cya
​[Yesterday 4:45 PM] Nikola Tesla
laters
​[Yesterday 4:45 PM] Pewdie Pie
ok
​[Yesterday 4:45 PM] Huge Anus
Bedankt, MabOI!
​[Yesterday 4:45 PM] Humong Gus
Dank u wel !! (smile)
​[Yesterday 4:45 PM] Boby Lee
Tot morgen
​[Yesterday 4:45 PM] Mister Lahey

> Blockquote
My first thought was that I could use .split to fill an array with each name using the not needed data
[Yesterday 4:44 PM] Tupac Shakur (enter or /n )
something like this: String[] FilterdInputNames = ScanNamen.split("M]" + "/n");
But clearly, that's not how slipt works.
All advice is welcome since I am not even sure if I need to filter the not needed data.
Thank you in advance

How can I get the "packageId" from the response for this idToValidate. Please help me on it.

You can use JsonPath

for the following request: http://www.webservicex.net/globalweather.asmx.
I want to read XML Data in above response using script. but it is giving null.
I have tried script as below

def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder(messageExchange.responseContent)
holder.namespaces["ns"] = "http://www.webserviceX.NET/" def

log.info weatherinfo
bit Instead of getting above reponse I am getting NULL. I have read the SOAPUI documentation on CDATA but its not working.

I got answer. It was just one extra slash in namespace that was giving me null.
Both the below scripts are working now.
> def respXmlHolder = new
> com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder(messageExchange.getResponseContentAsXml())
> respXmlHolder.namespaces["ns1"] ="http://www.webserviceX.NET" def

JsonParser ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when parsing json

The following code should work as a JsonParser but it is returning an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException even though I check that there are still elements to parse.
public void parseJson(String url) {
try {
InputStream is = new URL(url).openStream();
JsonParser parser = Json.createParser(is);
while (parser.hasNext()) {
Event e = parser.next();
if (e == Event.KEY_NAME) {
if (parser.getString().equals("name") && parser.hasNext()) {
parser.next();
writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("names.txt"));
writer.write(parser.getString());
}
}
}
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
The error produced is such:

It seems this was a bug in version 1.0.1. Here's another thread that talks about it. The JsonTokenizer class has changed pretty dramatically since then. Upgrade to 1.0.2 and you will be fine.

How do I create a product with additional attributes in Magento via Soap/Java

Good day!
I would like to use the Magento’s SOAP API to manage the product catalog, attributes etc. I'm running following configuration:-
Magento 1.6
Soap API WS-I compliance
Mac OSX Lion
Mamp 2.0.5
In case someone wants to create a new product, it is necessary to set a few properties of the product object.
Following code will demonstrate my approach to do this :
public int createProduct(DatabaseProduct product) {
ArrayOfString categories = new ArrayOfString();
categories.getComplexObjectArray().add(categoryID);
createEntity.setCategoryIds(categories);
CatalogProductCreateEntity createEntity = populateCreateOrUpdateEntity(product);
CatalogProductCreateRequestParam param = new CatalogProductCreateRequestParam();
param.setSessionId(sessionId);
param.setSet(setId);
param.setSku(product.getSku());
param.setType("simple");
param.setStore(storeId);
param.setProductData(createEntity);
CatalogProductCreateResponseParam response = service.catalogProductCreate(param);
return response.getResult();
}
private CatalogProductCreateEntity populateCreateOrUpdateEntity(DatabaseProduct product) {
CatalogProductCreateEntity createEntity = new CatalogProductCreateEntity();
createEntity.setShortDescription(product.getDescription().substring(0, 20) + "...");
createEntity.setDescription(product.getDescription());
createEntity.setName(product.getName());
createEntity.setPrice(String.valueOf(product.getPrice()));
createEntity.setStatus("1"); //active
createEntity.setVisibility("4"); //visible in search/catalog
createEntity.setWeight("70"); //some value
createEntity.setTaxClassId("2"); //standard
AssociativeArray attributes = new AssociativeArray();
AssociativeEntity attr1 = new AssociativeEntity();
attr1.("attribute1_key";
attr1.("attribute1_value");
attributes.getComplexObjectArray().add(attr1);
AssociativeEntity attr2 = new AssociativeEntity();
attr2.("attribute2_key");
attr2.("attribute2_value");
attributes.getComplexObjectArray().add(attr2);
createEntity.setAdditionalAttributes(attributes);
return createEntity;
}
I realized that I get an error written to the "system.log" of Magento.
2012-01-21T09:41:01+00:00 DEBUG (7): First parameter must either be an object or the name of an existing class/opt/website/magento/app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Product/Api/V2.php
I could localize the error in the "V2.php" file on line 265.
According to the php.net documentation the "property_exists()" method only can check for fields in objects.
As a matter of fact the "$productData" variable holds a property called "additional_attributes" which is of the type array.
Therefore the execution of this code will lead to an error.
Moreover I don’t know to reproduce the object the structure of the "$productData" object through the use of Magento’s SOAP API V2.
If I examine this code ("foreach" loop) in line 270, it indicates that there is an object ("$productData") holding an array ("additional_attributes") which again shall encapsulate a set of key/value pairs (if I am right)
253 protected function _prepareDataForSave ($product, $productData)
254 {
255 if (property_exists($productData, 'website_ids') && is_array($productData->website_ids)) {
256 $product->setWebsiteIds($productData->website_ids);
257 }
258
259 Mage::log("debug1");
260 Mage::log(property_exists($productData, 'additional_attributes'));
261
262 Mage::log($productData);
263
264 if (property_exists($productData, 'additional_attributes')) {
265 if (property_exists($productData->additional_attributes, 'single_data')) {
266
267 Mage::log("---> single");
268 Mage::log($productData->additional_attributes);
269
270 foreach ($productData->additional_attributes->single_data as $_attribute) {
271 $_attrCode = $_attribute->key;
272 $productData->$_attrCode = $_attribute->value;
273 }
274 }
275 if (property_exists($productData->additional_attributes, 'multi_data')) {
276
277 Mage::log("---> multi");
278 Mage::log($productData->additional_attributes);
279
280 foreach ($productData->additional_attributes->multi_data as $_attribute) {
281 $_attrCode = $_attribute->key;
282 $productData->$_attrCode = $_attribute->value;
283 }
284 }
285
286 Mage::log("debugXXX");
287 unset($productData->additional_attributes);
288 }
289
290 Mage::log("debug2");
291
292 foreach ($product->getTypeInstance(true)->getEditableAttributes($product) as $attribute) {
293 $_attrCode = $attribute->getAttributeCode();
294 if ($this->_isAllowedAttribute($attribute) && (isset($productData->$_attrCode))) {
295 $product->setData(
296 ... etc ...
This seems to be a bug. So here is my question.
Am I going right to call this an programming issue which shall be posted in the bug base?
Is there a way to get over this issue?
Shall I rewrite parts of the php.code from above to satisfy my need to handle product information to create a product properly ?
Thanks in advance
$productData

[name] => testname
[description] => testdescription
[short_description] => shorttestdescription

[price] => 359.0
[tax_class_id] => 2
[additional_attributes] => Array

[attribute1] => 999.0
[attribute2] => testcontent
)

For the V2 SOAP API it appears that we need to nest the additional_attributes in a multi_data or single_data layer?
Looking at app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Product/Api/V2.php #256 I think we need to use
$manufacturer = new stdClass();
$manufacturer->key = "manufacturer";
$manufacturer->value = "20";
$additionalAttrs['single_data'][] = $manufacturer;
or
$manufacturer = new stdClass();
$manufacturer->key = "manufacturer";
$manufacturer->value = "20";
$additionalAttrs['multi_data'][] = $manufacturer;
to be used like:
$productData = new stdClass();
$additionalAttrs = array();
// manufacturer from one of the two above ^
$productData->name = $data['name'];
$productData->description = $data['description'];
$productData->short_description = $data['short_description'];
$productData->weight = 0;
$productData->status = 2; // 1 = active
$productData->visibility = 4; //visible in search/catalog
$productData->category_ids = $data['categories'];
$productData->price = $data['price'];
$productData->tax_class_id = 2; // 2=standard
$productData->additional_attributes = $additionalAttrs;
// Create new product
try {
$proxy->catalogProductCreate($sessionId, 'virtual', 9, $sku, $productData); // 9 is courses
} catch (SoapFault $e) {
print $e->getMessage(); //Internal Error. Please see log for details.
exit();
}

I actually had to patch app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Product/Api/V2.php to get this call to work in version 1.6.2.0.
The existing code checks for either a "single_data" or "multi_data" attribute under the 'additional_attributes' property and tries to iterate over the those as an associative array:
if (property_exists($productData, 'additional_attributes')) {
if (property_exists($productData->additional_attributes, 'single_data')) {
foreach ($productData->additional_attributes->single_data as $_attribute) {
$_attrCode = $_attribute->key;
$productData->$_attrCode = $_attribute->value;
}
}
if (property_exists($productData->additional_attributes, 'multi_data')) {
foreach ($productData->additional_attributes->multi_data as $_attribute) {
$_attrCode = $_attribute->key;
$productData->$_attrCode = $_attribute->value;
}
}
}
I think that the issue is that since we're passing the associative array structure:
<item>
<key>...</key>
<value>...</value>
</item>
<item>
<key>...</key>
<value>...</value>
</item>
directly under the additional_attribtutes block then it's really the additional_attributes property that must be iterated over to pull the attribute key/values, so I added third if block:
if (gettype($productData->additional_attributes) == 'array') {
foreach ($productData->additional_attributes as $k => $v) {
$_attrCode = $k;
$productData->$_attrCode = $v;
}
}
With that code in place my custom attributes are being added/updated.
Here's a sample request:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:Magento">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<urn:catalogProductUpdateRequestParam>
<sessionId>100fe1f9d0518b0fd0ed49cc460c1fa6</sessionId>
<productId>1</productId>
<productData>
<name>product 3</name>
<!-- the custom attributes to updated....
-->
<additional_attributes>
<complexObjectArray>
<key>feed_id</key>
<value>56920</value>
</complexObjectArray>
<complexObjectArray>
<key>feed_active</key>
<value>1</value>
</complexObjectArray>
</additional_attributes>
</productData>
</urn:catalogProductUpdateRequestParam>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

This is not a bug. I have been using this Magento SOAP API V2 for more than a year, and the concept which Magento team have applied here is absolutely correct.
First of all, every time any one using the SOAP API V2 must check the WSDL fully of that respective Magento, so that he can create / call messages correctly. The URL to load the WSDL of SOAP API V2 is "<your_magento_home_page_url>/api/v2_soap/index/wsdl/1".
Now coming back to your question, the type of the element "additional_attributes" is "associativeArray", which means its XML should look something like:-
<additional_attributes>
<!--
This XML tag "item" can be anything;
it's what I use, but can definitely be any other valid non-used literal.
-->
<item>
<key>attribute_1_code</key>
<value>attribute_1_value_as_defined_in_database</value>
</item>
<item>
<key>attribute_2_code</key>
<value>attribute_2_value_as_defined_in_database</value>
</item>
</additional_attributes>
One example of the above XML format will be:-
<additional_attributes>
<item>
<key>color</key>
<!--
I haven't provided the name / string "Blue",
because Magento's EAV database structure will only hold the option value
(which is a unique ID) and not the option literal string.
-->
<value>56</value> <!-- assuming this value for "Blue" color -->
</item>
<item>
<key>manufacturer</key>
<value>87</value> <!-- assuming this value for the manufacturer "Intel" -->
</item>
</additional_attributes>
So, your "$productData" variable must hold the values like this:-
$productData
(
[name] => testname
[description] => testdescription
[short_description] => shorttestdescription
[weight] => 70
[status] => 1
[visibility] => 4
[price] => 359.0
[tax_class_id] => 2
[additional_attributes] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[key] => attribute1
[value] => 999.0
)
[1] => Array
(
[key] => attribute2
[value] => testcontent
)
)
)
Hope it helps.

stroisi is almost completely correct. Just one fix to that answer:
the third condition you added will evaluate to true for the first two conditions too (thus adding those attributes twice in case you're using SOAPv2 in non-WSI-compliant mode).
That condition chain should look like this:
// ...
if (property_exists($productData->additional_attributes, 'single_data')) {
foreach ($productData->additional_attributes->single_data as $_attribute) {
$_attrCode = $_attribute->key;
$productData->$_attrCode = $_attribute->value;
}
}
if (property_exists($productData->additional_attributes, 'multi_data')) {
foreach ($productData->additional_attributes->multi_data as $_attribute) {
$_attrCode = $_attribute->key;
$productData->$_attrCode = $_attribute->value;
}
}
else if (! property_exists($productData->additional_attributes, 'single_data')) {
foreach ($productData->additional_attributes as $key => $value) {
$productData->$key = $value;
}
}
// ...
The third condition asserts that both 'single_data' and 'multi_data' are not properties of additional_attributes.
Though, in my opinion, the correct way to fix this bug is to edit the "wsi.xml" file so it is consistent with wsdl.xml (or vice versa).

I am using SOAP API for entering products in magento shops.
here is the full code
In the case of multiselect custom attribute.
$arrProductTime = explode(',', '136,139');
$result = $client->catalogProductCreate($session, 'simple', $attributeSet->set_id, 'product_sku1234', array(
'categories' => array(36),
'websites' => array(1),
'name' => 'my_pdt1008',
'description' => 'my_pdt1',
'short_description' => 'my_pdt1000',
'weight' => '11',
'status' => '1',
'url_key' => 'product-url-key1',
'url_path' => 'product-url-path1',
'visibility' => '4',
'price' => '100',
'tax_class_id' => 1,
'meta_title' => 'Product meta title1',
'meta_keyword' => 'Product meta keyword1',
'meta_description' => 'Product meta description1',
'stock_data' => array('qty'=>'100','is_in_stock'=>1,'manage_stock'=>1),
'additional_attributes' => array('multi_data' => array(array('key' => 'product_time', 'value' => $arrProductTime)))
));

Everyone, I spent a good amount of time while creating a product with multi_data additional attribute. Well finally I managed it to work with the following packet:
