I tried making a form in GXT to upload files, but I see more examples on the net, I failed to make it work a simple FileUploadField to save the file locally.
Cde fragment:
formPanel = new FormPanel();
formPanel.setBodyBorder(false);
formPanel.setHeaderVisible(false);
formPanel.setAction(GWT.getModuleBaseURL() + "fileUpload");
formPanel.setEncoding(Encoding.MULTIPART);
formPanel.setMethod(Method.POST);
formPanel.setButtonAlign(HorizontalAlignment.CENTER);
formPanel.setHeaderVisible(true);
fileUploadField = new FileUploadField();
fileUploadField.setName("fileName");
fileUploadField.setAllowBlank(false);
fileUploadField.setFieldLabel("Archivo");
fileUploadField.addListener(Events.OnChange, new Listener<BaseEvent>() {
public void handleEvent(BaseEvent BaseEvent) {
aSubmitButton.setEnabled(true);
}
});
aSubmitButton = new Button("OK");
aSubmitButton.setEnabled(false);
aSubmitButton.setId("submit_button");
aSubmitButton.addSelectionListener(new SelectionListener<ButtonEvent>() {
#Override
public void componentSelected(ButtonEvent inButtonEvent) {
formPanel.submit();
}
});
The above code is the declaration of FormPanel and FileUploadField.
We use gwtupload-0.6.3-compat.jar library to do the job.
Basically, the idea is that on the server side you need to create a servlet, which is going to be accepting your uploaded files. The mentioned library provides UploadAction servlet extension facilitating that.
On the client side you can use one of gwtupload components. We use MultiUploader for instance. That's literally a few lines of code there. Main code is in the listener:
private IUploader.OnFinishUploaderHandler onFinishUploaderHandler = new IUploader.OnFinishUploaderHandler() {
public void onFinish(IUploader uploader) {
if (uploader.getStatus() == Status.SUCCESS) {
// What you want to do when file is uploaded.
}
}
};
The rest is taken care of by the component. Since the library is for GWT, it comes with source code, so you can see what it's doing behind the scene and read extensive comments in the code.
Free to use of course.

I would like to send a binary file via an appended MVCResourceCommand I coded for the native journal portlet. But the program is unable to use the OutputStream provided by the resource request.
IOUtils.copy( input, response.getPortletOutputStream() );
Considering:
The code works perfectly on StrutsActions
In custom portlets, it also works
In StrutsActions:
IOUtils.copy( input, response.getOutputStream() );
However, the code throws an IllegalStateException, saying that the writer is being used when I call response.getOutputStream().
I know we can not mix these two
The code is not attempting to do so
I wonder if Liferay is doing something with that request before it reaches my extension of BaseMVCResourceCommand, this is specifically for that native portlet.
I checked the preview feature for a webcontect item, but its URL is for the view mode.
The URL is created from a portlet:resourceURL tag inserted through a JSP fragment and the command is in its own OSGi module.
For sure, the URL is correct and the command logs that it was hit, but the exception is thrown afterwards.
The portlet I am trying to change is the:
"com_liferay_journal_web_portlet_JournalPortlet"
Any thoughts?
PS: I know about the Servlet and Portlet ResponseUtils. but they also eventually try getting the stream, leadin to the same exception.
#Component( immediate = true,
property = {
"javax.portlet.name=" + JOURNAL, "mvc.command.name=/command"
},
service = MVCResourceCommand.class )
public class Resource extends BaseMVCResourceCommand {
#Override
public void doServeResource( ResourceRequest request, ResourceResponse response ) throws PortletException {
try {
response.getPortletOutputStream();
}
catch ( Exception e ) {
throw new PortletException( e );
}
}
}
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to obtain OutputStream because Writer is already in use
at com.liferay.portlet.MimeResponseImpl.getPortletOutputStream(MimeResponseImpl.java:75)
Update:
It seems this is the source of my issues (PortletURLImpl), still looking for a solution though:
if (lifecycle.equals(PortletRequest.RESOURCE_PHASE)) {
_copyCurrentRenderParameters = true;
}
When the URL is created it comes with all sources of garbage from the render phase. Including an MVCPath
I'm working with the revit api, and one of its problems is that it locks the .dll once the command's run. You have to exit revit before the command can be rebuilt, very time consuming.
After some research, I came across this post on GitHub, that streams the command .dll into memory, thus hiding it from Revit. Letting you rebuild the VS project as much as you like.
The AutoReload Class impliments the revit IExteneralCommand Class which is the link into the Revit Program.
But the AutoReload class hides the actual source DLL from revit. So revit can't lock the DLL and lets one rebuilt the source file.
Only problem is I cant figure out how to implement it, and have revit execute the command. I guess my C# general knowledge is still too limited.
I created an entry in the RevitAddin.addin manifest that points to the AutoReload Method command, but nothing happens.
I've tried to follow all the comments in the posted code, but nothing seems to work; and no luck finding a contact for the developer.

}
There is an easier approach: Add-in Manager
Go to Revit Developer Center and download the Revit SDK, unzip/install it, the check at \Revit 2016 SDK\Add-In Manager folder. With this tool you can load/reload DLLs without having to modify your code.
There is also some additional information at this blog post.
this is how you can use the above code:
Create a new VS class project; name it anything (eg. AutoLoad)
Copy&Paste the above code in-between the namespace region
reference revitapi.dll & revitapiui.dll
Scroll down to AutoReloadExample class and replace the path to point
your dll
Replace "Mine.ExampleCommand" with your plugins namespace.mainclass
Build the solution
Create an .addin manifest to point this new loader (eg.
AutoLoad.dll)
your .addin should include "FullClassName" AutoLoad.AutoReloadExample
This method uses reflection to create an instance of your plugin and prevent Revit to lock your dll file! You can add more of your commands just by adding new classes like AutoReloadExample and point them with seperate .addin files.

I'm trying to get the hung of catel but have a problem.
Trying "Messaging via attribute" gets an compile error.
'Catel.MVVM.ViewModelBase.GetService(object)' is obsolete: 'GetService is no longer >recommended. It is better to inject all dependencies (which the TypeFactory fully supports) >Will be removed in version 4.0.0.'
private void OnCmdExecute()
{
var mediator = GetService<IMessageMediator>();
mediator.SendMessage("Test Value");
}
[MessageRecipient]
private void ShowMessage(string value)
{
var messageService = GetService<IMessageService>();
messageService.Show(value);
}
I'm using 3.9.
A hint and a code snippet whould be good help.
Thanks for your attention.
The GetService is marked obsolete. You have 2 options:
1) If you are using a view model, simply let the services be injected in the constructor:
private readonly IMessageMediator _messageMediator;
private readonly IMessageService _messageService;
public MyViewModel(IMessageMediator messageMediator, IMessageService messageService)
{
Argument.IsNotNull(() => messageMediator);
Argument.IsNotNull(() => messageService);
_messageMediator = messageMediator;
_messageService= messageService;
}
2) Use the GetDependencyResolver extension method:
var dependencyResolver = this.GetDependencyResolver();
var messageMediator = dependencyResolver.Resolve<IMessageMediator>();
Solution 1 is the recommended way.
Thanks for your answer.
I also found a good example in the "Catel.Examples" solution, link to download
My PLUGIN is firing on Entity A and in my code I am invoking a web service that returns an XML file with some attributes (attr1,attr2,attr3 etc ...) for Entity B including GUID.
I need to update Entity B using the attributes I received from the web service.
Can I use Service Context Class (SaveChanges) or what is the best way to accomplish my task please?
I would appreciate it if you provide an example.
There is no reason you need to use a service context in this instance. Here is basic example of how I would solve this requirement. You'll obviously need to update this code to use the appropriate entities, implement your external web service call, and handle the field updates. In addition, this does not have any error checking or handling as should be included for production code.
I made an assumption you were using the early-bound entity classes, if not you'll need to update the code to use the generic Entity().
class UpdateAnotherEntity : IPlugin
{
private const string TARGET = "Target";
public void Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)
{
//PluginSetup is an abstraction from: http://nicknow.net/dynamics-crm-2011-abstracting-plugin-setup/
var p = new PluginSetup(serviceProvider);
var target = ((Entity) p.Context.InputParameters[TARGET]).ToEntity<Account>();
var updateEntityAndXml = GetRelatedRecordAndXml(target);
var relatedContactEntity =
p.Service.Retrieve(Contact.EntityLogicalName, updateEntityAndXml.Item1, new ColumnSet(true)).ToEntity<Contact>();
UpdateContactEntityWithXml(relatedContactEntity, updateEntityAndXml.Item2);
p.Service.Update(relatedContactEntity);
}
private static void UpdateContactEntityWithXml(Contact relatedEntity, XmlDocument xmlDocument)
{
throw new NotImplementedException("UpdateContactEntityWithXml");
}
private static Tuple<Guid, XmlDocument> GetRelatedRecordAndXml(Account target)
{
throw new NotImplementedException("GetRelatedRecordAndXml");
}
}
I am using Breeze with much success in my SPA, but seem to be stuck when trying to return parent->child data in a single query by using expand().
When doing a single table query, the $type in the JSON return is correct:
$type: MySPA.Models.Challenge, MySPA
However if I use expand() in my query I get the relational data, but the $type is this:
System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary 2[[System.String, mscorlib],[System.Object, mscorlib]]
Because of the $type is not the proper table + namespace, the client side code can't tell that this is an entity and exposes it as JSON and not a Breeze object (with observables, entityAspect, etc.).
At first I was using my own ContextProvider so that I could override the Before/After saving methods. When I had these problems, I reverted back to the stock EFContextProvider<>.
I am using EF5 in a database first mode.
Here's my controller code:
[BreezeController]
public class DataController : ApiController
{
// readonly ModelProvider _contextProvider = new ModelProvider();
readonly EFContextProvider<TestEntities> _contextProvider = new EFContextProvider<TestEntities>();
[HttpGet]
public string Metadata()
{
return _contextProvider.Metadata();
}
[Queryable(AllowedQueryOptions = AllowedQueryOptions.All)]
[HttpGet]
public IQueryable<Challenge> Challenges()
{
return _contextProvider.Context.Challenges;
}
[HttpPost]
public SaveResult SaveChanges(JObject saveBundle)
{
return _contextProvider.SaveChanges(saveBundle);
}
public IQueryable<ChallengeNote> ChallengeNotes()
{
return _contextProvider.Context.ChallengeNotes;
}
}
Here's my BreezeWebApiConfig.cs
public static void RegisterBreezePreStart()
{
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.Remove(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.XmlFormatter);
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "BreezeApi",
routeTemplate: "breeze/{controller}/{action}"
);
}
Is there a configuration setting that I am missing?
Did you try "expanding" on server side? Is it needed to do expand on client side? I tried to do expand before but failed for me as well, did some research and decided I'd rather place it on server:
[HttpGet]
public IQueryable<Challenge> ChallengesWithNotes()
{
return _contextProvider.Context.Challenges.Include("ChallengeNotes");
}
This should be parsed as expected. On client side you would query for "ChallengeNotes" instead of "Challenges" and you wouldn't need to write expand part.
I strongly suspect that the problem is due to your use of the [Queryable] attribute.
You must use the [BreezeQueryable] attribute instead!
See the documentation on limiting queries.
We are aware that Web API's QueryableAttribute has been deprecated in favor of EnableQueryAttribute in Web API v.1.5. Please stick with BreezeQueryable until we've had a chance to write a corresponding derived attribute for EnableQuery. Check with the documentation for the status of this development.
