Re: [BeanUtils] Handling array creation?
Sorry Frank, but I don't think you have to worry about casting at all. Say you've collected all your values into a List (myList), as Thomas suggested - then all you need to do is something like the following: Class type = PropertyUtils.getPropertyType(obj, "myArray"); // Array Processing if (type.isArray()) { Class componentType = type.getComponentType(); // Create new instance of the array Object myArray = Array.newInstance(componentType, myList.size()); // Get the converter Converter converter = ConvertUtils.lookup(componentType); // populate array values for (int i = 0; i < myList.size(); i++) { // Get & Convert the value Object value = converter.convert(componentType, myList.get(i)); // Set the value in the array Array.set(myArray, i, value); } // set the beans property BeanUtils.setProperty(obj, "myArray", myArray); } else { // ? handle error ? } - Original Message - From: "Frank W.

LazyDynaBean does something pretty similar to this - have a look at the growIndexedProperty() method for dynamically growing arrays and createIndexedProperty() method for instantiating new arrays. Actually, I spent a while trying to crack this nut and then it occurred to me that since these objects are configured via XML, all I'm going to have basically *are* Strings anyway, so Thomas's solution will do the trick. If and when I want to support other data types, I could do something like: String type = (PropertyUtils.getPropertyType(obj, "myArray")).getName(); if (type.equalsIgnoreCase("string")) { String[] o = new String[values.size()]; BeanUtils.setProperty(obj, "myArray", values.toArray(o)); } else if (type.equalsIgnoreCase("integer")) { Integer[] o = new Integer[values.size()]; BeanUtils.setProperty(obj, "myArray", values.toArray(o)); } // ... and so on for all supported types I wouldn't claim that's pretty code, but it would get the job done. I could only support those types that BeanUtils can automatically convert to anyway (ignoring the possibility of custom converters), so it's not all that bad an answer I think. Anyway the java.lang.reflect.Array has useful (static) methods for manipulating arrays... 1) Instantiating an Array Object myArray = Array.newInstance(type.getComponentType(), arraySize); 2) Setting a value in an array, e.g Array.set(myArray, index, value); 3) Finding the length of an array Array.getLength(myArray); Niall Yep, knew about these already... unfortunately, the one thing that would make this a piece of cake is not available here, or in Java t all: dynamic casting.

I can re-visit this at a later time. FYI, I took a look at the LazyDynaBean code...

Thomas Dudziak wrote: So I take it that you either got a setter for this field, or you want to use reflection directly (Field object). Right... IIRC, having a getter and setter for the entire array is in the javabean spec anyway, so that's certainly something I can expect of any class that is going to be dynamically created like this. Even if it isn't in the spec, it certainly isn't too much to ask :) But why shouldn't that work ? I mean, in the end arrays are normal objects and can be used as such. Eg. you can do something like: That code looks pretty much perfect to me... I was not aware that you could use setProperty() in that way, I've never seen it done before. I don't think I even need to go the reflection route, the first example you posted I think will do the trick nicely. Does that answer your question, or did I misunderstood you ? Thanks Tom, I think that does indeed answer my question exactly.

Re: [BeanUtils] Handling array creation?
I explained in another reply, but it's worth replying directly here... The use case is that I'm dynamically creating instances of myBean based on a configuration file... this is part of the DependencyFilter I added to Jave Web Parts in the past few days. It already handles simple properties, Maps and Lists with no problem, but arrays seem a bit trickier... The thing that is making it trickier, unless I'm missing something simple (which is entirely possible!) is that say I read in the config file and find that there are 10 items to be added to a given array field in byBean... I don't want myBean to have to know before-hand how big the array will be, nor do I want to have to arbitrarily set some high value. So, I need to be able to dynamically create the array from OUTSIDE myBean based on the number of items found in the config file. Since myArray is private in myBean as per my example, I can't simply access the field directly as I showed in the example. Hence my question :) Hope that makes some sense...

[Digester] Can I do an object-create-rule within a set-properties-rule?
I am setting up Digester to parse XML in this format: My Book My Publisher The rules file I have is this: My problem is that I use Java classes generated by a tool that scans the database. The com.myclasses.Document class does not have a "type" property. Instead, it has a "doctypeid" property. I need to instantiate a com.myclasses.DocumentType object, set its "doctypeNm" property to the "type" attribute (eg. "DocumentTypeA"), then use it to retrieve the value which which I can set the Document.doctypeid property. I thought of doing an object-create-rule on a HashMap class and using that to store attributes, then setting the Document properties out of the HashMap object, but that seems like a clumsy workaround.

I'd think that if you deploy the javamail jar together with your application, this should work. Regards Henning -- Dipl.-Inf. (Univ.) Henning P.

Fwd: [email] commons-email 1.0-RC8 available
FYI all. -- Forwarded message -- From: Henning P. Schmiedehausen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sep 7, 2005 10:11 PM Subject: [email] commons-email 1.0-RC8 available To: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org Due to the requests from Stephen, Niall and some remarks on the users list about using commons-email in J2EE environments, I've applied the patches that they contributed and verified that commons-email indeed builds and works with JDK 1.3.x and Javamail 1.2 using both the maven and the ant build. I've built a new release candidate using JDK 1.3.1: commons-email-1.0-rc8 Get it (and also source and binary distributions) from http://people.apache.org/~henning/commons-email/ I also redeployed the commons-email site; the updated docs should be available from jakarta.apache.org in a few hours. If there are no further objections, I think that we should restart the vote ASAP. Best regards Henning -- Dipl.-Inf. (Univ.) Henning P.

Re: DIGESTER -- how to handle embedded HTML
Hi, IMO you shoud use CDATA sections in your xml to put HTML code. I do not think this will affect your DTD. Regards, Catalin Pitts, Nathan wrote: Hi all, I have a question that I'm sure is very simple, but I haven't seen any docs on it. This is my first time using digester. Let's say I have an XML document (which is generated so I don't have control of it) that may include HTML inside the XML elements. Sometimes the HTML is not xml compliant - like using a without a Currently, my I am getting null values for that element, although the other elements (without embedded HTML) work fine. Example: This is a book This book is good.This book has embedded HTML inside the summary. Does this mean I need to come up with a dtd that lists summary contents as CDATA?

See [io] FileSystemUtils for an example of using the command line from Java to get the free space on the drive. You could extend this [io] class to add file permissions.

Re: Basic questions about VFS
Hi Mario, Yes, I see the problem and I agree that native libraries would not be a good solution. However, there must be some underlying libraries (e.g. the FTP libraries?) that understand file permissions. Even if it weren't available in VFS files that are underlain by java.io.File, perhaps it would still be useful to have support in VFS for filesystems that do support permissions in pure Java? VFS could detect whether permissions were supported and allow manipulation accordingly.

Re: Basic questions about VFS
Hi! Perhaps there could be a "hasPosixPermissions" Capability, and if a file has that capability, its permissions can be set and read? The main problem is the lack of support in the underlaying libraries. Even for local files we might need a native library (I hate native libraries) to set permissions as there is no real support in java.io.file. And we have to figure out how to abstract the various different permission systems. For windows/unix this document might help: http://docs.hp.com/en/B8725-90053/ch03s02.html Maybe this might happen, though I cant promise it.

Re: Basic questions about VFS
Hi Mario, Thanks very much for all this information. The lack of file permissions support could be a problem for me. I understand why it's not there, as many systems don't use permissions, but I was wondering if there could at least be a system for setting and getting file permissions (if the correct Capability is set) and for creating files and folders with given permissions? Perhaps there could be a "hasPosixPermissions" Capability, and if a file has that capability, its permissions can be set and read? As for the asynchronous I/O, that would be very useful too. I might be able to contribute something when I've understood VFS a bit better.
