XML/JSON Beautifier

There are lot of online tools available in the internet for this but they say, do not put sensitive information as they’re cached on the server side. So, obviously it is not a safe place to beautify. And not all companies allow admin access to developers to install plugins for this. What’s the solution for this? Let us develop something on our own and add what ever we want.

Here is a solution developed in-house keeping in mind all IIB/ACE developers.

You can not only beautify xml/json messages but also do the following

  • Blob to string
  • String to blob
  • Base64 Encode/Decode
  • XML to JSON
  • JSON to XML
  • XPath evaluation
  • XSLT Transformation
  • Validate XML against XSD
  • XML Decoding
  • Change themes

Above all this is developed as web-application and no external dependencies. Just deploy the war file to a web-server and start using it. By default it runs on port 8080 and so you can try http://hostname:8080

Here are some screenprints to please your eyes.

XML PrettyPrint
XML to JSON conversion
Blog to String

You can download this for free for personal use. For commercial use, please contact us at support@vaithu.com.

We also do full-stack development. If you’re looking for modernizing your UI, please contact us.

Vaadin themes

By default, Vaadin use Lumo theme but it also provides multiple themes which you can customize as you need. Vaadin provides an editor here https://demo.vaadin.com/lumo-editor/ which allows you to create your theme or customize the default ones. Let us see how to use them.

  • Go to https://demo.vaadin.com/lumo-editor/
  • In the right hand side, you will see the settings to modify. Modify them as you need and finally it will show you a HTML page like
  • In Vaadin v14, importing html is not supported so you’ve to copy the lines within <custom-style><style>...</style></custom-style> and copy it to a file under styles directory like
  • Now, import this file into your Java class like
@CssImport("./styles/my-lumo-theme.css")

Reload your project and you will the difference. I modified the theme to use Material theme and here is the page after importing them into my Java class

If you need DARK theme, just two lines would make it and they are

@Theme(value = Lumo.class,variant = Lumo.DARK)
public class MainView extends AppLayout {

Note these line should go into the Main/Parent class. Let us see how the dark theme looks

Let me put here my custom-theme HTML code for reference

html {
  --lumo-size-xl: 3rem;
  --lumo-size-l: 2.5rem;
  --lumo-size-m: 2rem;

We also started working on Full stack development using Vaadin. If you’ve any projects to develop in Vaadin, please contact us at support@vaithu.com

Cryptography in IIB

Not often but sometimes, there is a need to encrypt and decrypt messages flowing through IBM Integration Bus and there are some working solutions available in the market to achieve the same.

Since these algorithms are not available by default in ESQL, the next immediate solution is Java. So, if you are comfortable with Java Compute Node and know how to pick the Key from multiple locations like the below , then it is scalable and works like the same way as built-in nodes

  • User Defined Property
  • LocalEnvironment
  • Environment
  • Any other valid location in the Message Assembly

Here is a solution which uses AES algorithm to encrypt and decrypt the messages. All you need is 16bytes KEY.

Test flow

The KEY can be hard coded or its location can be $LocalEnvironment/Destination/Encrypt/Key or any other path which can be defined here

Now, this makes flexible that the KEY can be inside the incoming message or from LocalEnvironment or from Environment tree too.

Let us see how the encrypted message looks like after passing a simple XML file like below

Test message
Debugger
After Encryption Node
Encrypted Message
Decrypted Message in OUT Queue

If you are looking for the same solution or would like to know our capabilities in IIB, please contact us at support@vaithu.com/WhatsApp +1 6123058684.

We’ve rich experience in IIB and executed multiple projects since 2013. So, we assure that you get your solution on time in low cost without compromising on quality and efficiency.

IBM Integration API – What shall I get from this?

  • Are you a serious IIB developer/admin?
  • Are you switching with multiple applications/windows back & forth?
  • Are you not a fan of commands ?

Yes. Yes. Yes. We were also looking for some sort of way to get most of our stuff done with some simple clicks/buttons. So, we started looking the ways to achieve it and finally found this IBM Integration API which contains everything you & we needed.

Let us put here some high level things that you can get from this API

  • List all
    • messages flows/applications/static/shared libraries
    • UDPs
    • Queues used
    • Security Identities used
    • DSNs
    • Bar files
    • Integration Server properties
    • Configurable Services
    • Activity Log
    • Administrative Log
    • SubFlows
  • Stop/Start
    • Message Flow
    • Application
    • Integration Server
  • Deploy/Undeploy bar files
  • Update/Modify/Create Configurable service
  • Update UDPs
  • Set Workload Management Properties

Most of the above features might be available from Web UI but it does contain have a way to search. Also, it does not allow to copy one bar file from one environment to another. But when you know the above stuffs to do programmatically, you can do what ever you need.

import com.ibm.broker.config.proxy.*;
public class DeployBAR {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    BrokerConnectionParameters bcp =
       new MQBrokerConnectionParameters("localhost", 2414, "IB9QMGR");
    try {
      BrokerProxy b = BrokerProxy.getInstance(bcp);
      ExecutionGroupProxy eg = b.getExecutionGroupByName("default");
      DeployResult dr = eg.deploy("MyBAR.bar", true, 30000);
      System.out.println("Result = "+dr.getCompletionCode());
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

You can copy everything from one server and put it in another server. You can cross verify what is in multiple environments and much more can be done easily.

If you want to know more about this, we take training on these periodically. Join one of our training and control the Node as you wish. For more details, contact us at support@vaithu.com/WhatsApp +1 6123058684.

SnackOrder example using Holon-Platform and Vaadin

SnackOrder example using Holon-Platform and Vaadin

This is my another post in learning my Vaadin journey through Holon Platform. There is already an example here https://vaadin.com/learn/tutorials/dynamic-web-forms-with-validation-in-java explaining the concepts but I just want to mimic the same so that I can learn more about the Holon Platform APIs myself.

Here is the simplified code for the Dynamic WebForm example of SnackOrder

import com.holonplatform.core.property.PropertyBox;
import com.holonplatform.vaadin.flow.components.Components;
import com.holonplatform.vaadin.flow.components.PropertyInputForm;
import com.holonplatform.vaadin.flow.components.PropertyListing;
import com.holonplatform.vaadin.flow.components.SingleSelect;
import com.vaadin.flow.component.button.Button;
import com.vaadin.flow.component.combobox.ComboBox;
import com.vaadin.flow.component.orderedlayout.HorizontalLayout;
import com.vaadin.flow.component.orderedlayout.VerticalLayout;
import com.vaadin.flow.data.provider.ListDataProvider;
import com.vaadin.flow.router.Route;

import java.util.*;

@Route("Snack")
public class SnackOrderView extends VerticalLayout {

    private PropertyInputForm inputForm;
    private PropertyListing listing;

    public SnackOrderView() {

        initialize();


    }

    private void initialize() {

        Map<String, List<String>> snacks = new HashMap<>();
        snacks.put("Fruits", Arrays.asList("Banana", "Apple", "Orange", "Avocado"));
        snacks.put("Candy", Arrays.asList("Chocolate bar", "Gummy bears", "Granola bar"));
        snacks.put("Drinks", Arrays.asList("Soda", "Water", "Coffee", "Tea"));


        List<PropertyBox> snackOrders = new ArrayList<>();
        ListDataProvider<PropertyBox> gridDataProvider = new ListDataProvider<>(snackOrders);

        Button orderBtn = Components.button()
                .text("Order")
                .withThemeName("primary")
                .enabled(false)
                .onClick(event -> {
                    snackOrders.add(inputForm.getValue());
                    listing.refresh();
                })
                .build();

        SingleSelect<String> snackSelect = Components.input.singleSelect(String.class)
                .required()
                .enabled(false)
                .withValueChangeListener(event -> {
                    orderBtn.setEnabled(true);
                })
                .build();

        SingleSelect<String> snackTypeSelect = Components.input.singleSelect(String.class)
                .required()
                .items(snacks.keySet())
                .withValueChangeListener(event -> {
                    ((ComboBox<String>) snackSelect.getComponent()).setItems(snacks.get(event.getValue()));
                    ((ComboBox<String>) snackSelect.getComponent()).setEnabled(true);
                })
                .build();

        HorizontalLayout hl = Components.hl().build();

        inputForm = Components.input.form(hl, SnackOrder.PROPERTY_SET)
                .composer((content, source) -> {
                    source.getComponents().forEach(component -> {
                        content.add(component);
                    });
                    content.add(orderBtn);
                })
                .bind(SnackOrder.TYPE, snackTypeSelect)
                .bind(SnackOrder.SNACK, snackSelect)
                .initializer(content -> {
                    content.setSpacing(true);
                    content.setDefaultVerticalComponentAlignment(Alignment.BASELINE);
                })
                .withValueChangeListener(event -> {
                    orderBtn.setEnabled(inputForm.isValid());
                })
                .build();

        listing = Components.listing.properties(SnackOrder.PROPERTY_SET)
                .dataSource(gridDataProvider)
                .build();

        add(inputForm.getComponent(), listing.getComponent());

    }

}

Here is the screenprint showing the neat and simple web form

Vaadin Lazy Loading issues

I’ve a grid like this and if I edit the description column it throws error “java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0”.

It happens when there is only one matching value in the combobox filter. The combobox looks like this

The dataprovider used is

CallbackDataProvider<String, String> descDataProvider
                = DataProvider.fromFilteringCallbacks(query -> {
            String filter = query.getFilter().orElse("");
            datastore.query(Product.TARGET)
                    .restrict(query.getLimit(), query.getOffset())
                    .stream(Product.DESCRIPTION)
                    .filter(s -> StringUtils.startsWithIgnoreCase(s,filter))
                    .forEach(s -> System.out.print(s+"\t"));
            Stream<String> propertyBoxStream = datastore.query(Product.TARGET)
                    .restrict(query.getLimit(), query.getOffset())
                    .stream(Product.DESCRIPTION)
                    .filter(s -> StringUtils.startsWithIgnoreCase(s,filter));
                           // s -> s.startsWith(filter)
            return propertyBoxStream;
        }, query -> {
            String filter = query.getFilter().orElse("");
            long propertyBoxStream = datastore.query(Product.TARGET)
//                    .filter(Product.DESCRIPTION.startsWithIgnoreCase(filter))
//                    .filter(Product.DESCRIPTION.startsWithIgnoreCase(filter))
                    .stream(Product.DESCRIPTION)
            .filter(s -> StringUtils.startsWithIgnoreCase(s,filter))
                    .count();
            write("filter " + filter+"\t count :"+propertyBoxStream);
            return (int) propertyBoxStream;
        });

I do not know what is the problem and why it fails when there is only one matching value. If you know any solution, please put in the comments below.

Holon-Platform Examples for Vaadin Grid

Holon-Platform works on Properties. So, it is always best to have all your definitions modeled in an interface like here

import com.holonplatform.core.Validator;
import com.holonplatform.core.datastore.DataTarget;
import com.holonplatform.core.property.BooleanProperty;
import com.holonplatform.core.property.NumericProperty;
import com.holonplatform.core.property.PropertySet;
import com.holonplatform.core.property.PropertyValueConverter;
import com.holonplatform.core.property.StringProperty;

/**
 * Product property model
 */
public interface Product {

	public static final NumericProperty<Long> ID = NumericProperty.longType("id").message("Id");

	public static final StringProperty SKU = StringProperty.create("sku");

	public static final StringProperty DESCRIPTION = StringProperty.create("description").message("Description");

	public static final StringProperty CATEGORY = StringProperty.create("category");

	public static final NumericProperty<Double> UNIT_PRICE = NumericProperty.doubleType("price")
			// not negative value validator
			.withValidator(Validator.notNegative());

	public static final BooleanProperty WITHDRAWN = BooleanProperty.create("withdrawn")
			// set a property value converter from Integer model type to Boolean
			.converter(PropertyValueConverter.numericBoolean(Integer.class));

	// Product property set
	public static final PropertySet<?> PROPERTY_SET = PropertySet
			.builderOf(ID, SKU, DESCRIPTION, CATEGORY, UNIT_PRICE, WITHDRAWN).withIdentifier(ID).build();

	// "products" DataTarget
	public static final DataTarget<?> TARGET = DataTarget.named("products");

}
INSERT INTO products (sku,description,category,price,withdrawn) VALUES ('product-1', 'Product 1', 'C1', 19.90, 0);
INSERT INTO products (sku,description,category,price,withdrawn) VALUES ('product-2', 'Product 2', 'C2', 29.90, 0);

INSERT INTO products (sku,description,category,price,withdrawn) VALUES ('product-6', 'Product 6', 'C1', 39.90, 0);
INSERT INTO products (sku,description,category,price,withdrawn) VALUES ('product-7', 'Product 7', 'C4', 44.20, 0);
INSERT INTO products (sku,description,category,price,withdrawn) VALUES ('product-8', 'Product 8', 'C1', 77.00, 0);
INSERT INTO products (sku,description,category,price,withdrawn) VALUES ('product-9', 'Product 9', 'C3', 23.70, 1);
INSERT INTO products (sku,description,category,price,withdrawn) VALUES ('product-10', 'Product 10', 'C2', 92.20, 0);

Note that, every table should have a primary key and if there is none, you cannot update the row using Holon-Platform and if you try to do it, this is the message you would see

2020-07-16 10:16:36.842 WARN 32220 — [nio-8080-exec-4] com.holonplatform.datastore.jdbc : (Save operation) Cannot obtain the primary key for operation [PropertyBoxOperationConfiguration [value=PropertyBox – PROPERTIES: [“transactionId”:java.lang.Long],[“interfaceName”:java.lang.String],[“createTime”:java.time.LocalDateTime] – VALUES: (“transactionId”=1065093643),(“interfaceName”=test),(“createTime”=2020-01-17T08:21:55.983), target=DataTarget [name=Product, type=java.lang.String]]]: an INSERT operation will be performed by default

As it says, it will be doing INSERT operation instead of UPDATE. So, ensure there is a primary key and if not, tell the PropertySet which column to use as the primary key (you can combine multiple columns to make them as primary key if needed) like

public static final PropertySet<?> PROPERTY_SET = PropertySet.builderOf(TRANSACTIONID,INTERFACENAME,CREATETIME)
            .withIdentifier(TRANSACTIONID)
            .build();

Now, we can create any components binding using this model definition. Let’s first see how to create a grid using Holon Platform Listing API

Components.configure(this)
                .fullSize()
                .add(
                        Components.listing.properties(Product.PROPERTY_SET)
                                .dataSource(datastore, Product.TARGET)
                                .build()

                )
        ;

Now, let’s add some properties like

  1. multiSelect
  2. selectAllCheckboxVisibility
  3. columnReorderingAllowed
  4. resizable
  5. editable
  6. customCompnentColumn
public class MainView extends VerticalLayout {

    @Autowired
    private Datastore datastore;

    private PropertyListing listing;

    @PostConstruct
    public void init() {

        Components.configure(this)
                .fullSize()
                .add(listing =
                        Components.listing.properties(Product.PROPERTY_SET)
                                .dataSource(datastore, Product.TARGET)
                                .withThemeVariants(GridVariant.LUMO_COMPACT)
                                .multiSelect()
                                .selectAllCheckboxVisibility(GridMultiSelectionModel.SelectAllCheckboxVisibility.VISIBLE)
                                .columnReorderingAllowed(true)
                                .resizable(true)
                                .editable()
                                .withComponentColumn(properties -> {
                                    IronIcon editIcon = new IronIcon("lumo", "edit");
                                    editIcon.setClassName("size-s");
                                    return Components.button()
                                            .icon(editIcon)
                                            .withThemeName("small")
                                            .onClick(event -> listing.editItem(properties))
                                            .build();
                                })
                                .header("Edit")
                                .add()
                                .build()
                )
        ;
    }
}

So, how can we convert a column values to a component like button or span? Here is an example which shows, how to convert the Withdrawn property into a span component. The steps to do are

  1. Include @JsModule(“@vaadin/vaadin-lumo-styles/badge.js”)
  2. Include @CssImport(value = “./styles/shared-styles.css”, include = “lumo-badge”)
  3. Add a new method componentRenderer to the fluent builder PropertyListing like
.componentRenderer(Product.WITHDRAWN,properties -> {
                                    boolean yes = properties.getValue(Product.WITHDRAWN);
                                    return Components.span()
                                            .text(yes ? "Yes" : "No")
                                            .elementConfiguration(element -> element.setAttribute("theme",yes ? "badge success" : "badge error"))
                                            .build();
                                })

How about the theming? Are there any default themes available to set how the row and column must render? Grid provides some default variants like

.withThemeVariants(GridVariant.LUMO_COMPACT,GridVariant.LUMO_COLUMN_BORDERS,GridVariant.LUMO_ROW_STRIPES)

Editing is also easy. You just have to call the following methods in sequence

editable
editorBuffered(true)
withComponentColumn
editorComponent
withEditorSaveListener

Here is a complete example code

Components.configure(this)
                .fullSize()
                .add(listing =
                        Components.listing.properties(Product.PROPERTY_SET)
                                .dataSource(datastore, Product.TARGET)
                                .withThemeVariants(GridVariant.LUMO_COMPACT, GridVariant.LUMO_COLUMN_BORDERS, GridVariant.LUMO_ROW_STRIPES)
                                .multiSelect()
                                .selectAllCheckboxVisibility(GridMultiSelectionModel.SelectAllCheckboxVisibility.VISIBLE)
                                .columnReorderingAllowed(true)
                                .columnsAutoWidth()
                                .resizable(true)
                                .editable()
                                .editorBuffered(true)
                                .withComponentColumn(properties -> {
                                    IronIcon editIcon = new IronIcon("lumo", "edit");
                                    editIcon.setClassName("size-s");
                                    return Components.button()
                                            .icon(editIcon)
                                            .withThemeName("small")
                                            .onClick(event -> listing.editItem(properties))
                                            .build();
                                })
                                .editorComponent(new Div(
                                        Components.button("Save", event -> {
                                            listing.saveEditingItem();
                                            listing.refreshEditingItem();
                                        }),
                                        Components.button("Cancel", event -> listing.cancelEditing())
                                ))
                                .header("Edit")
                                .add()
                                .withEditorSaveListener(event -> {
                                    PropertyBox propertyBox = event.getItem();

                                    datastore.save(Product.TARGET, propertyBox);
                                    listing.refreshEditingItem();
                                    propertyBox.propertyValues().forEach(System.out::println);
                                    PropertyInputForm inputForm = Components.input.form(Product.PROPERTY_SET)
                                            .build();
                                    inputForm.setValue(propertyBox);
                                    Components.dialog.message()
                                            .sizeUndefined()
                                            .withComponent(inputForm.getComponent())
                                            .open();
                                })
                                .componentRenderer(Product.WITHDRAWN, properties -> {
                                    boolean yes = properties.getValue(Product.WITHDRAWN);
                                    return Components.span()
                                            .text(yes ? "Yes" : "No")
                                            .elementConfiguration(element -> element.setAttribute("theme", yes ? "badge success" : "badge error"))
                                            .build();
                                })

                                .build()
                )
        ;

Now is the time to implement ItemClickListener. I feel it is the better way to show the details or any other action to the user when he/she clicks the row. Here I want to show a dialog window which will have the row values in a form and allow the user to edit the same. Once the YES button is clicked, the editing item is saved to the backend and the row is refreshed to show the new values. The code to achieve this function is

.withItemClickListener(event -> {
                                            showSaveDialog(event.getItem());

The method showSaveDialog() implementation is

private void showSaveDialog(PropertyBox propertyBox) {
        PropertyInputForm inputForm = Components.input.form(Product.PROPERTY_SET)
                .initializer(formLayout -> {
                    formLayout.setResponsiveSteps(new FormLayout.ResponsiveStep("490px", 1));
                    formLayout.setWidth("490px");
                })
                .build();
        inputForm.setValue(propertyBox);
        Dialog open = Components.dialog.question(confirmSelected -> {

            if (confirmSelected) {
                save(inputForm.getValue());
            }
        })
                .withComponent(inputForm.getComponent())
                .open();

        open.setCloseOnEsc(true);
    }

    private void save(PropertyBox propertyBox) {

        datastore.save(Product.TARGET, propertyBox);
        listing.refreshItem(propertyBox);
        propertyBox.propertyValues().forEach(objectPropertyValue -> {
            System.out.println(objectPropertyValue.getValue());
        });
    }

When there are thousands of records available in a database table, how do we load them lazily into our grid? The Holon-Platform datastore API makes everything super simple and here is the code to justify that.

.dataSource(DataProvider.fromCallbacks(query -> {

                                    return datastore.query(Product.TARGET).restrict(query.getLimit(),query.getOffset())
                                            .stream(Product.PROPERTY_SET);
                                }, query -> {
                                    return (int) datastore.query(Product.TARGET).count();
                                }))

Do you’ve any other API to make this so simple and that works like a charm? I bet, NO.

Is there any difference in the page loading or user see any difference? I did some local testing and it worked perfectly fine. I’ll have to do some load test to authenticate my above statement.

Next,let us see how to remove a row from the grid. The Datastore API has method to remove an item and the code to use is

datastore.delete(Product.TARGET,properties);

Since it is a virtual column, we can use the same method withComponentColumn and add it to the grid like

.withComponentColumn(properties -> {
                                    return Components.button()
                                            .icon(VaadinIcon.TRASH)
                                            .withThemeName("small")
                                            .withThemeVariants(ButtonVariant.LUMO_ERROR)
                                            .onClick(event -> deleteItem(properties))
                                            .build();
                                })
                                .header("Delete")
                                .add()
private void deleteItem(PropertyBox properties) {
        datastore.delete(Product.TARGET,properties);
        listing.refresh();
    }

Are you wondering what about the validation? What if someone edits the row with invalid values? Does Holon Platform automatically take care of the validations already defined in the model file? Of course, YES. Here is an example to show the validation error when category property goes beyond 10 char limit. Not only this, it also takes care of preventing invalid values entered by the user. For example, if user tries to enter characters in place of numerals, it is automatically prevented by the framework. No, explicit code validation is required.

public static final StringProperty CATEGORY = StringProperty.create("category")
			.withValidator(Validator.max(10))
			;

Next, let’s see how to set some footer and a value to it. If you look into the column UNIT_PRICE, the values are in numeric. So, obviously we want to the total of all Product’s UNIT_PRICE. Here is the code to set footer

.footer(Product.UNIT_PRICE, calculateUnitPrice())
private String calculateUnitPrice() {

        return "Total : " + datastore.query(Product.TARGET)
                .findOne(Product.UNIT_PRICE.sum()).orElse(0.0000);
    }

What if user deletes a product? How can the footer show the updated value? To set the footer accordingly, we need first get the footer cell and then set the value like

listing.getFooter().ifPresent(item -> {
            ItemListing.ItemListingRow<Property<?>> itemListingRow = item.getRows().stream().filter(o -> o.getCell(Product.UNIT_PRICE).isPresent())
                    .findFirst()
                    .orElse(null);

            if (itemListingRow != null) {
                itemListingRow.getCell(Product.UNIT_PRICE).ifPresent(itemListingCell -> itemListingCell.setText(calculateUnitPrice()));
            }
        });
private void deleteItem(PropertyBox properties) {
        datastore.delete(Product.TARGET, properties);
        listing.getFooter().ifPresent(item -> {
            ItemListing.ItemListingRow<Property<?>> itemListingRow = item.getRows().stream().filter(o -> o.getCell(Product.UNIT_PRICE).isPresent())
                    .findFirst()
                    .orElse(null);

            if (itemListingRow != null) {
                itemListingRow.getCell(Product.UNIT_PRICE).ifPresent(itemListingCell -> itemListingCell.setText(calculateUnitPrice()));
            }
        });
        listing.refresh();
    }

How to switch Lumo themes dynamically?

I thought it is hard to change the themes on the fly but after looking into a sample, there is a simplest way to achieve that. So, here is the code which changes from Dark mode to Light and vice versa.

Button changeTheme = Components.button()
                .onClick(event -> {
                    ThemeList themeList = UI.getCurrent().getElement().getThemeList();

                    if (themeList.contains(Lumo.DARK)) {
                        themeList.remove(Lumo.DARK);
                    }else {
                        themeList.add(Lumo.DARK);
                    }

                })
                .text("Change theme")


                .build();

And screenprints are

If you want to switch just a single component/layout, again that is also so simple. All you need is, that component’s element -> themelist like

ThemeList themeList = formLayout.getElement().getThemeList();

and it will look like
