Searching by query and location in Grails app - search

I am using the searchable plugin in my grails application to search for "Offering" instances in the following way.
Search setup with following mapping in Offering class
class Offering {
static searchable = {
only: ['title', 'description']
}
String title
String description
Category category
Location location
BigDecimal price
PricePeriod pricePeriod
static belongsTo = [user: SecUser]
static constraints = {
title(blank: false, maxSize: 100)
description(blank: false, maxSize: 10240)
category(nullable: false)
location(nullable: false)
price(nullable: true, scale: 2)
pricePeriod(nullable: true)
}
public String toString() {
return title
}
}
Call to searchable service
def search = {
must(queryString(params.query))
}
def searchResult = searchableService.search(search, params)
As expected this returns appropriate hits from the mapped properties of Offering instances. A collection of offerings
What I would like to do now is search not only by the search query but also the Offerings child element of location. Specifically the "locationName" field within the child Location instance.
So if I search by query "dinner" and location "Brisbane" I would like to get a collection of offerings matching "dinner" with a child location instance with the "locationName" property matching "Brisbane"
Any ideas on where to start to implement something like this using the searchable plugin?
Location class
class Location {
String locationName
Location locationParent
String postcode
static hasMany = [locations: Location]
static constraints = {
locationName(blank: false, unique: true)
locationParent(nullable: true)
postcode(nullable: true)
}
public String toString() {
return locationName
}
}
Thanks for your help

I think what you want to do is something along the lines of:
class Offering {
...
static searchable = {
only: ['title', 'description']
location component: true
}
...
}
and
class Location {
...
static searchable = {
only: ['locationName']
location component: true
}
...
}

Apache Calcite - ReflectiveSchema StackoverflowError

I'm trying to create a simple schema using ReflectiveSchema and then trying to project an Employee "table" using Groovy as my programming language. Code below.
class CalciteDemo {
String doDemo() {
RelNode node = new CalciteAlgebraBuilder().build()
return RelOptUtil.toString(node)
}
class DummySchema {
public final Employee[] emp = [new Employee(1, "Ting"), new Employee(2, "Tong")]
#Override
String toString() {
return "DummySchema"
}
class Employee {
Employee(int id, String name) {
this.id = id
this.name = name
}
public final int id
public final String name
}
}
class CalciteAlgebraBuilder {
FrameworkConfig config
CalciteAlgebraBuilder() {
SchemaPlus rootSchema = Frameworks.createRootSchema(true)
Schema schema = new ReflectiveSchema(new DummySchema())
SchemaPlus rootPlusDummy = rootSchema.add("dummySchema", schema)
this.config = Frameworks.newConfigBuilder().parserConfig(SqlParser.Config.DEFAULT).defaultSchema(rootPlusDummy).traitDefs((List<RelTraitDef>)null).build()
}
RelNode build() {
RelBuilder.create(config).scan("emp").build()
}
}
}
I seem to be correctly passing in the "schema" object to the constructor of the ReflectiveSchema class, but I think its failing while trying to get the fields of the Employee class.
Here's the error
java.lang.StackOverflowError
at java.lang.Class.copyFields(Class.java:3115)

What is wrong with this example?
Seems that by just moving the Employee class a level above, ie. making it a sibling of the DummySchema class, makes the problem go away.
I think the way the org.apache.calcite.jdbc.JavaTypeFactoryImpl of Calcite is written doesn't handle Groovy's internal fields well.

Grails "Row was updated or deleted by another transaction (or unsaved-value mapping was incorrect)"

There doesn't appear to be definite solution to concurrency problems in Grails (2.3.7). I've tried all the recommendations, but when I push the number of concurrent threads, the following piece of code invariably fails:
package simpledb
import grails.transaction.Transactional
import groovy.transform.Synchronized
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory
#Transactional
class OwnerService {
private static final myLock1 = new Object()
private static final myLock2 = new Object()
#Synchronized('myLock1')
static public saveOwner(def ownerName) {
def ownerInstance = null
Owner.withNewTransaction {
ownerInstance = Owner.findOrCreateByName(ownerName)
ownerInstance.save(failOnError: true, flush: true)
}
ownerInstance
}
#Synchronized('myLock2')
static public associateDog(def ownerId, def dogId) {
def lockedOwnerInstance
Owner.withNewTransaction {
lockedOwnerInstance = Owner.lock(ownerId)
def lockedDogInstance = Dog.lock(dogId)
lockedOwnerInstance.addToDogs(lockedDogInstance)
lockedOwnerInstance.save(failOnError: true, flush: true)
}
lockedOwnerInstance
}
}
It fails on the line "def lockedDogInstance = Dog.lock(dogId)":
Error 500: Internal Server Error
URI
/simpledb/JsonSlurper/api
Class
org.hibernate.StaleObjectStateException
Message
Row was updated or deleted by another transaction (or unsaved-value mapping was incorrect): [simpledb.Dog#111]
The above design is very simple where there's a Many-to-Many relationship between Owner and Dog:
Dog Class:
package simpledb
class Dog {
String name
Breed breed = null
Integer age = null
static hasMany = [owners: Owner]
static belongsTo = Owner
static mapping = { owners lazy: false }
static constraints = {
name blank: false, nullable: false, unique: true
breed nullable: true
age nullable: true
}
}
Owner Class:
package simpledb
class Owner {
String name;
static hasMany = [dogs: Dog]
static mapping = { dogs lazy: false }
static constraints = {
}
}
FYI - The DB is MySQL.
Any recommendations?
OK, you've got a lot going on here, most of which I bet you can dispose of. So instead of trying to fix it, let's tear it down to the bare minimum and proceed from there:
Your service methods should not be static.
Your service is already transactional, so withNewTransaction() can go. You also don't need to flush.
There's no need to synchronize the service methods.
You don't need to lock on the Dog because you're not changing it (adding it to Owner.dogs only creates a record in the join table).
With these changes, your service ends up looking like this:
package simpledb
import grails.transaction.Transactional
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory
#Transactional
class OwnerService {
def saveOwner(def ownerName) {
def ownerInstance = Owner.findOrCreateByName(ownerName)
ownerInstance.save(failOnError: true)
ownerInstance
}
def associateDog(def ownerId, def dogId) {
def ownerInstance = Owner.lock(ownerId)
def dogInstance = Dog.read(dogId)
ownerInstance.addToDogs(dogInstance)
ownerInstance.save(failOnError: true)
ownerInstance
}
}
See how far that takes you. You may even be able to remove the Owner lock.
Aside from what #Emmanuel-Rosa has said, if there are too many concurrent updates happening, can you also ensure to call 'refresh' (on owner) before saving? (repeatable reads approach).
Join table additions shouldn't suffer from these though. Only if some dogs are being attempted to be 're-added' to same owners, it could cause problem.
Another approach (not in this case, but) if only one or two columns are to be updated, you could use plain SQL.

Orchard Query For Page with Show on a menu checked

Hi I want to make a "Query" and put a filter for returning all pages that has "Show on a menu" checked. I did not find a way to do that.. Is it possible?
Try something like this:
using Orchard.Localization;
using Orchard.Projections.Descriptors.Filter;
using Orchard.Navigation;
using IFilterProvider = Orchard.Projections.Services.IFilterProvider;
namespace MyProject.Filters
{
public class MenuPartFilter : IFilterProvider {
public Localizer T { get; set; }
public ProductPartFilter() {
T = NullLocalizer.Instance;
}
public void Describe(DescribeFilterContext describe)
{
describe.For(
"Content", // The category of this filter
T("Content"), // The name of the filter (not used in 1.4)
T("Content")) // The description of the filter (not used in 1.4)
// Defines the actual filter (we could define multiple filters using the fluent syntax)
.Element(
"MenuParts", // Type of the element
T("Menu Parts"), // Name of the element
T("Menu parts"), // Description of the element
ApplyFilter, // Delegate to a method that performs the actual filtering for this element
DisplayFilter // Delegate to a method that returns a descriptive string for this element
);
}
private void ApplyFilter(FilterContext context) {
// Set the Query property of the context parameter to any IHqlQuery. In our case, we use a default query
// and narrow it down by joining with the MenuPartRecord.
context.Query = context.Query.Join(x => x.ContentPartRecord(typeof (MenuPartRecord)));
}
private LocalizedString DisplayFilter(FilterContext context) {
return T("Content with MenuPart");
}
}
}

Get job title using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement

I've successfully used the AccountManagement code to retrieve basic AD information but it's only returning a very limited set of information about the returned object. How can I get extended information from AD using the AccountManagement functionality. Specifically the Job Title or title as it seems to be called in my instance of AD.
I know how to do it using the older DirectoryServices but I'd like to know how to do it using the new namespace.
Yes, the default set of properties on UserPrincipal is quite limited - but the great part is: there's a neat extensibility story in place!
You need to define a class descending from UserPrincipal and then you can very easily get access to a lot more properties, if needed.
The skeleton would look something like this:
namespace ADExtended
{
[DirectoryRdnPrefix("CN")]
[DirectoryObjectClass("User")]
public class UserPrincipalEx : UserPrincipal
{
// Inplement the constructor using the base class constructor.
public UserPrincipalEx(PrincipalContext context) : base(context)
{ }
// Implement the constructor with initialization parameters.
public UserPrincipalEx(PrincipalContext context,
string samAccountName,
string password,
bool enabled) : base(context, samAccountName, password, enabled)
{}
UserPrincipalExSearchFilter searchFilter;
new public UserPrincipalExSearchFilter AdvancedSearchFilter
{
get
{
if (null == searchFilter)
searchFilter = new UserPrincipalExSearchFilter(this);
return searchFilter;
}
}
// Create the "Title" property.
[DirectoryProperty("title")]
public string Title
{
get
{
if (ExtensionGet("title").Length != 1)
return string.Empty;
return (string)ExtensionGet("title")[0];
}
set { ExtensionSet("title", value); }
}
// Implement the overloaded search method FindByIdentity.
public static new UserPrincipalEx FindByIdentity(PrincipalContext context, string identityValue)
{
return (UserPrincipalEx)FindByIdentityWithType(context, typeof(UserPrincipalEx), identityValue);
}
// Implement the overloaded search method FindByIdentity.
public static new UserPrincipalEx FindByIdentity(PrincipalContext context, IdentityType identityType, string identityValue)
{
return (UserPrincipalEx)FindByIdentityWithType(context, typeof(UserPrincipalEx), identityType, identityValue);
}
}
}
And that's really almost all there is! The ExtensionGet and ExtensionSet methods allow you to "reach down" into the underlying directory entry and grab out all the attributes you might be interested in....
Now, in your code, use your new UserPrincipalEx class instead of UserPrincipal:
using (PrincipalContext ctx = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain))
{
// Search the directory for the new object.
UserPrincipalEx myUser = UserPrincipalEx.FindByIdentity(ctx, "someUserName");
if(myUser != null)
{
// get the title which is now available on your "myUser" object!
string title = myUser.Title;
}
}
Read all about the System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement namespace and its extensibility story here:
Managing Directory Security Principals in the .NET Framework 3.5
Update: sorry - here's the UserPrincipalExSearchFilter class - missed that one in the original post. It just shows the ability to also extend the search filters, if need be:
public class UserPrincipalExSearchFilter : AdvancedFilters
{
public UserPrincipalExSearchFilter(Principal p) : base(p) { }
public void LogonCount(int value, MatchType mt)
{
this.AdvancedFilterSet("LogonCount", value, typeof(int), mt);
}
}
To Augment the above I have knocked up an extension method to call ExtensionGet. It uses reflection to get hold of the protected method you would otherwise have to inherit. You might need to use this if you are returning UserPrincipalObjects from Groups.Members, for example
public static class AccountManagmentExtensions
{
public static string ExtensionGet(this UserPrincipal up, string key)
{
string value = null;
MethodInfo mi = up.GetType()
.GetMethod("ExtensionGet", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
Func<UserPrincipal, string, object[]> extensionGet = (k,v) =>
((object[])mi.Invoke(k, new object[] { v }));
if (extensionGet(up,key).Length > 0)
{
value = (string)extensionGet(up, key)[0];
}
return value;
}
}
There are simpler ways of getting to that info. Here is the way I got to Job Title in VB.NET:
Dim yourDomain As New PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "yourcompany.local")
Dim user1 As UserPrincipal = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(yourDomain, principal.Identity.Name)
Dim Entry As DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry = user1.GetUnderlyingObject()
Dim JobTitle As String = Entry.Properties.Item("Title").Value.ToString
To expand on Programmierus' comment, here is a simple way to do this on the fly in C#.
public static string GetProperty(UserPrincipal userPrincipal, string property)
{
DirectoryEntry d = (DirectoryEntry)userPrincipal.GetUnderlyingObject();
return d.Properties[property]?.Value?.ToString();
}

Fluent Automapper issue with tag creation

POST EDITED - see edit below
I have a query about the FLuent Automapping which is used as part of the SHarp Architecture. Running one of the tests cases will generate a schema which I can use to create tables in my DB.
I'm developing a site with Posts, and Tags associated with these posts. I want a tag to be able to be associated with more than one post, and for each post to have 0 or more tags.
I wanting to achieve a DB schema of:
Post {Id, Title, SubmitTime, Content}
Tag {Id, Name}
PostTag {PostId, TagId}
Instead, I'm getting:
Post {Id, Title, SubmitTime, Content}
Tag {Id, Name, PostID (FK)}
I'm using sharp architecture, and may classes look as follows (more or less):
public class Post : Entity
{
[DomainSignature]
private DateTime _submittime;
[DomainSignature]
private String _posttitle;
private IList<Tag> _taglist;
private String _content;
public Post() { }
public Post(String postTitle)
{
_submittime = DateTime.Now;
_posttitle = postTitle;
this._taglist = new List<Tag>();
}
public virtual DateTime SubmitTime { get { return _submittime; } private set { _submittime = value; } }
public virtual string PostTitle { get { return _posttitle; } private set { _posttitle = value; } }
public virtual string Content { get { return _content; } set { _content = value; } }
public virtual IList<Tag> TagList { get { return _taglist; } set { _taglist = value; } }
public class Tag : Entity
{
[DomainSignature]
private String _name;
public Tag() { }
public Tag(String name)
{
this._name = name;
}
public virtual String Name
{
get { return _name; }
private set { _name = value; }
}
public virtual void EditTagName(String name)
{
this.Name = name;
}
}
I can see why it's gone for the DB schema set up that it has, as there will be times when an object can only exist as part of another. But a Tag can exist separately.
How would I go about achieving this? I'm quite new to MVC, Nhibernate, and SHarp architecture, etc, so any help would be much appreciated!
EDIT*
OK, I have now adjusted my classes slightly. My issue was that I was expecting the intermediate table to be inferred. Instead, I realise that I have to create it.
So I now have (I've simplified the classes a bit for readability's sake.:
class Post : Entity
{
[DomainSignature]
String Title
[DomainSignature]
DateTime SubmitTime
IList<PostTag> tagList
}
class Tag : Entity
{
[DomainSignature]
string name
}
class PostTag : Entity
{
[DomainSignature]
Post post
[DomainSignature]
Tag tag
}
This gives me the schema for the intermediate entity along with the usual Post and Tag tables:
PostTag{id, name, PostId(FK)}
The problem with the above is that it still does not include The foreign key for Tag. Also, should it really have an ID column, as it is a relational table? I would think that it should really be a composite key consisting of the PK from both Post and Tag tables.
I'm sure that by adding to the Tag class
IList<PostTag> postList
I will get another FK added to the PostTag schema, but I don't want to add the above, as the postList could be huge. I don't need it every time I bring a post into the system. I would have a separate query to calculate that sort of info.
Can anyone help me solve this last part? Thanks for your time.
Ok, I'd been led to believe that modelling the composite class in the domain was the way forward, but I finally come across a bit of automapper override code which creates the composite table without me needing to create the class for it, which was what I was expecting in the first place:
public class PostMappingOverride
: IAutoMappingOverride
{
public void Override(AutoMapping map)
{
map.HasManyToMany(e => e.TagList)
.Inverse()
.Cascade.SaveUpdate();
}
}
This will now give me my schema (following schema non simplified):
create table Posts (
Id INT not null,
PublishTime DATETIME null,
SubmitTime DATETIME null,
PostTitle NVARCHAR(255) null,
Content NVARCHAR(255) null,
primary key (Id)
)
create table Posts_Tags (
PostFk INT not null,
TagFk INT not null
)
create table Tags (
Id INT not null,
Name NVARCHAR(255) null,
primary key (Id)
)
alter table Posts_Tags
add constraint FK864F92C27E2C4FCD
foreign key (TagFk)
references Tags
alter table Posts_Tags
add constraint FK864F92C2EC575AE6
foreign key (PostFk)
references Posts
I think the thrower is that I've been looking for a one-to-many relationship, which it is, but it is called HasManytoMAny here...
