MongoKit: Unexpected behaviour when using use_schemaless together with use_dot_notation - schemaless

I am using MongoKit (v0.8.1) and am bit confused about the behaviour when defining a document with use_schemaless=True and use_dot_notation=True. MongoKit ignores any dynamic attributes (ie. anything that hasn't been defined in structure dict) when saving to the db. Works as expected when accessing the document via the usual square brackets. Obviously, I can work around this by overriding __setattr__ but I find it a bit unexpected. Or is this intentional? Thanks!

TypeORM to_tsquery Injection prevention

I want to perform a full-text-search on 2 columns with partial queries included.
I've tried multiple options and this one seems the best to me:
Add <-> between the words of the query and :* at the end
Execute query
The problem is, that I have to execute the query in TypeORM. So when I use to_tsquery(:query) there might be invalid syntax in the query, which produces an error.
The function plainto_tsquery() would be perfect since it prevents invalid syntax in the argument, but at the same time it prevents the partial queries, which I can do as described.
Any idea how I could combine the best of the to worlds?
You could try something like
SELECT to_tsquery(quote_literal(query) || ':*')
This will add <-> between word and :* at the end of every word, while quote_literal should protect you from syntax issues by escaping the text.
Disadvantage of this method however is that the generated query might behave unexpectedly when encountering queries with symbols, e.g. o'reilley as query will yield 'o':* <-> 'reilley':* as tsquery, which likely won't give back the expected result. Unfortunately, the only solution I know for this is cleaning both the input and text data of any symbols.

JMeter functions and variables

I'm new to JMeter so this question may sound absolutely dumb...
I have a loop in which a variable (let's say it is called "raw") is being changed and written to file every iteration. The variable contains HTML encoded text so it has to be converted into plain text. I found out this can be done using __unescapeHtml function. When I tried using it worked but I ended up always receiving the same text as on the first iteration. Then I learned that I have to use vars.get instead of ${} to access a variable. So I changed ${__unescapeHtml("${raw}")} to ${__unescapeHtml(vars.get("raw")} which kind of helped: vars.get is getting the new value of raw each iteration but __unescapeHtml didn't work at all now - it just returns the encoded text from raw. I didn't succeded finding anything about this exact problem so I'm kind of stuck.
Ended up using
import org.apache.commons.lang3.StringEscapeUtils
...
StringEscapeUtils.unescapeHtml4(vars.get("raw"))
Don't know if it is a good way to do this but at least it works.
I assume, that you are using the expression ${...} inside a JSR-223 sampler or similar context. The user manual for JSR-223 Sampler states, that those scripts can be cached by JMeter. That is why you only get the values from the first time the context gets created.
The same is true for simple variable evaluations as ${varname}, as for function calls like ${__unescapeHtml(...)}.
The solution here is:
don't use ${...} inside of JSR-223 contexts, that might be cached.
you can however pass those expressions (${...}) into the context by using them as parameters through the input labeled Parameters on the JSR-223 Sampler – again assuming, that you are using it.
you can use the features, that your chosen JSR-223 context gives you, as you have done, by using the StringEscapeUtils#unescapeHtml4

Converting an ASTNode into code

How does one convert an ASTNode (or at least a CompilationUnit) into a valid piece of source code?
The documentation says that one shouldn't use toString, but doesn't mention any alternatives:
Returns a string representation of this node suitable for debugging purposes only.
CompilationUnits have rewrite, but that one does not work for ASTs created by hand.
Formatting options would be nice to have, but I'd basically be satisfied with anything that turns arbitrary ASTNodes into semantically equivalent source code.
In JDT the normal way for AST manipulation is to start with a basic CompilationUnit and then use a rewriter to add content. Then ASTRewriteAnalyzer / ASTRewriteFormatter should take care of creating formatted source code. Creating a CU just containing a stub type declaration shouldn't be hard, so that's one option.
If that doesn't suite your needs, you may want to experiement with directly calling the internal org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.dom.rewrite.ASTRewriteFlattener.asString(ASTNode, RewriteEventStore). If not editing existing files, you may probably ignore the events collected in the RewriteEventStore, just use the returned String.

Is there any way to interpolate colors when using a structure grid in VTK?

I want to make a color map on vtkstructuredgrid and I need the colors to be interpolated between cells. The other option is using point data but when ever I use
structuredgrid->PointData()->SetScalars(Floatarray);
it says I cant have a pointer to a incomplete class type.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Your approach should work...
However, PointData is not a method, for the vtkStructuredGrid class: you should avoid (), and that's the reason for the error (Pointer to incomplete class type is not allowed).
Moreover, PointData is protected, in the "standard" definition of vtkStructuredGrid, and you should derive the entire class to access it from your code.
Before trying that, by the way, can you try with
structuredgrid->GetPointData()->SetScalars(Floatarray);
?
It should work too (not sure about the parameter type passed to SetScalar(), BTW).

proper syntax for bpel bpel:doXslTransform

I am trying to do an XSL transform on an xml structure in a bpel assignment statement. There is a syntax problem, but I am having trouble finding official documentation. There are examples all over the internet but I have not found a clear explanation. Here is my best shot. What do the last two parameters do? Why is eclipse saying the first argument must be a literal, even though test3.xsl is a string?
<bpel:assign validate="yes" name="Assign">
<bpel:copy keepSrcElementName="no">
<bpel:from>
<![CDATA[bpel:doXslTransform("test3.xsl", $personalInfoServiceOutput.parameters), "middle", $positionSkillManagementInput]]>
</bpel:from>
<bpel:to variable="positionSkillManagementInput"></bpel:to>
</bpel:copy>
</bpel:assign>
The signature of doXSLTransform looks as follows:
object bpel:doXslTransform(string, node-set, (string, object)*)
The first parameter is the name of the XSLT script, the second parameter is an XPath identifying the source document (e.g. a variable, part, nodeset, node). The third and the fourth parameter is a key-value pair, the string is the key and the object is the value. Those pairs are mapped into the script's parameter context so that you can access these values by their name in the script. There can be any number of these pairs.
The best resource to look up such things is the WS-BPEL 2.0 specification, doXSLTransform is described in Sect. 8.4
When I use the following code :
<bpel:copy keepSrcElementName="no">
<bpel:from>
<![CDATA[bpel:doXslTransform("parseSample.xsl", $output.payload)]]>
</bpel:from>
<bpel:to variable="output"></bpel:to>
</bpel:copy>
I also get the error, that first argument must be literal string.
But, when I deploy my service (with error) to wso2 bps, it works fine.
You can try with this.
I faced the same issue. Agree with NGoyal. Shows error in BPEL but works when deployed.
