JXPath XBeanInfo & Generic Collection Problem
Hi,
I'm trying to work out how I can add the following PojoNode to JXPath's
context for evaluation.
public class PojoNode extends java.util.ArrayList<PojoNode> {
public PojoNode(Pojo pojo) {
this.pojo = pojo;
}
private Pojo pojo;
public Pojo getPojo() {
return pojo;
}
}
The PojoNode tree above is (definitely) populated... then I setup and ask
JXPath to evaluate an expression on it:
JXPathIntrospector.registerDynamicClass(PojoNode.class,PojoDynamicPropertyHandler.class);
JXPathContext jxPathContext = JXPathContext.newContext(rootPojoNode);
PojoNode result = (PojoNode)jxPathContext.getValue("/"); //this always
produces an empty result
What concerns me is not the code I have written but the code I have not.
I've got log statements in the PojoXInfoBean and PojoDynamicPropertyHandler
(see below) but none every fire (in particular "I have been asked to
look.." and "...w00t"). Consequently the PojoNode tree is not being
traversed correctly and thus fails. I suspect that because PojoNode
implements a Collection it's picked up buy another DynamicPropertyHandler.
I feel like I have exhausted the javadocs and any help would be very very
much appreciated.
Thank You.
ps if you wanted to see more code it is below....
public class PojoNodeDynamicPropertyHandler implements
DynamicPropertyHandler {
private final static Logger log =
Logger.getLogger(PojoNodeDynamicPropertyHandler.class);
public Object getProperty(Object PojoNode, String name) {
log.debug("I have been asked to look for '"+name+"'");
Collection<PojoNode> hits = new ArrayList<PojoNode>();
for(PojoNode childPojoNode : (PojoNode) PojoNode){
if (childPojoNode.getPojo().getName().equals(name)){
hits.add(childPojoNode);
}
}
log.debug("I have found '"+hits.size()+"' instances of '"+name+"'");
return hits;
}
public String[] getPropertyNames(Object PojoNode) {
log.debug("JXPath has asked for this, w00t!");
HashSet<String> nameSet = new HashSet<String>();
nameSet.addAll(collectChildNames(PojoNode));
return (String[]) nameSet.toArray(new String[nameSet.size()]);
}
public void setProperty(Object arg0, String arg1, Object arg2) {
throw new RuntimeException(
"Manipulation through JXPath is not allowed.... (yet)");
}
private HashSet<String> collectChildNames(Object PojoNode) {
HashSet<String> nameSet = new HashSet<String>();
for (PojoNode childPojo : (PojoNode) PojoNode) {
nameSet.add(childPojo.getPojo().getName());
}
return nameSet;
}
}
........................................................................................
public class PojoNodeXBeanInfo implements JXPathBeanInfo{
private static final Logger log =
Logger.getLogger(PojoNodeXBeanInfo.class);
public Class<PojoNodeDynamicPropertyHandler>
getDynamicPropertyHandlerClass() {
log.debug("JXPath has asked for this, w00t!");
return PojoNodeDynamicPropertyHandler.class;
}
public PropertyDescriptor getPropertyDescriptor(String arg0) {
log.debug("JXPath has asked for this, w00t!");
return null;
}
public PropertyDescriptor[] getPropertyDescriptors() {
log.debug("JXPath has asked for this, w00t!");
return null;
}
public boolean isAtomic() {
log.debug("JXPath has asked for this, w00t!");
return false;
}
public boolean isDynamic() {
log.debug("JXPath has asked for this, w00t!");
return true;
}
}

Does JXPath still have an active user/development base? I've seen very
little traffic on this list. This still does not work and I've no idea why.

Re: JXPath XBeanInfo & Generic Collection Problem

Everything falls apart once collections or array's are involved. I am doing
something wrong, help would be most appreciated. I can't see any simple
examples online and there's no doco on how to do this.
I'm considering giving up, like the rest of the people before me.

Re: JXPath XBeanInfo & Generic Collection Problem
Posted by Andrew Hughes <ah...@gmail.com>.
After further testing, I have reduced the complexity of my 'Bean'. The
'Bean' is no longer a Collection<> and provides getThe* methods that do not
meet the Beans standard. Hence, JXPath must use an XBeanInfo and
DynamicHandler to perform sucessful traversal/evalution, and it does...
For the first time I can see DynamicHandler<init> being called. My
previous DynamicHandler that worked with a Collection class was never
initialized and thus proves JXPath was never using it.
The big question is, why? I know I can get around this by reworking my
datastructure so that it does not extend ArrayList<MyBean> () but I really
don't think I should have to do this.
I've read a few posts with the same problem now (some as far back as 2006).
Im yet to see a solution, it looks like everyone else just decides to 'give
up' which I'd rather not do, because if this works it's a great solution.

Re: JXPath XBeanInfo & Generic Collection Problem
Posted by Andrew Hughes <ah...@gmail.com>.
After a little more investigation, I have overriden every
Collection/ArrayList method in the "PojoNode" class to see how/if JXPath
calls ANY of the inherited super methods. It does not! If JXPath is not
traversing my data structure in any way, then it's probably not even
evaluating it. But Im not sure why this would be, or why under such
circumstances a mis-configuration like this does not throw any exceptions.
As I said, I think I have exhausted the online docs and I'm getting a little
desperate (probably sound like it too). So any help would definitely be
appreciated. :)
