Starting Eclipse / Android Game Development - Day 1

Started by reading this next but skipped the Java Part 1 and went right to Part 2
http://www.kilobolt.com/game-development-tutorial.html

Downloaded Android for Eclipse Plugin and Android 2.1 for Eclipse.

Created a project and followed Part 2 of the above tutorial.

Day #3 - Angular JS Customer App Part 1

Goal: 
Develop a Customer Management Application using Angular JS, JQuery and CSS

Day #2 - Basic Spring MVC Web App framework, Annotation driven, JAVA, XML

Description/Goal:
Create a basic Spring MVC Web Application that is Annotation driven that sets the framework to be used in future programs.

Roadblocks:

• Getting the Annotations picked up by the Eclipse Tomcat instance. 
• Understanding how the @ResponseBody Annotation worked
• Getting JSON to be sent back to the browser, I was missing JSON Jackson Jar, downloading the 1.9 Jackson (ALL) from here resolved it.

Day #1 - Pay per hour Counter in Javascript, JQuery

Program #1 - Pay Per Hour Counter

Description: Sort of like a stop watch, given an amount per hour, will start counting based on the time, how much you're making at the moment until stopped. Will show the time elapsed and the amount accrued.

Platform: Javascript, JQuery

30 Programs in 30 Days

So a goal of mine since reading this incredible article about Jennifer Dewalt is to code 30 programs/projects in 30 days. Uploading everything to my github.com account with an accompanying blog post. Some of the larger projects will be done incrementally. Doing as much as I can each day and uploading that version of what I got done in an Agile ( albeit develop, test and release in a 1 day ) format. If I can reach 30, I'd like to continue and set a new stretch goal.

Project Outline / Goals:

1. Build a different program/project everyday for 30 consecutive days.
2. Every website must be accompanied by a blog post.
3. Any code I write must be made publicly available so that everyone can see it.
4. Projects can build upon others, but a working version must be released each day.

Benefits:

• Being able to develop whatever I want through directed self-study increases motivation
• Making and seeing incremental progress on projects
• Being accountable/visible to/for my code leads to proper practices like readability, comments, unit tests
• Improving and expanding a diverse set of programming skills 

Cons:

• Effects on Social Life
• Demands of a Full Time Software Engineering job can be draining

Solved: Liferay Parent Child Nav elements highlighted

So some background.

I have 2 pages at the top horizontally aligned. When one of those is selected, I have 5 pages. Under one of those, the child pages were not showing my "selected" css classes. I wanted them to show up but nothing was working. So I did some basic print outs to the screen with the boolean values of isSelected and isChildSelected. From there I came up with the solution below. 

Basically if isSelected() was false and isChildSelected() was true then display the css class "selected" element for the child menu element. 

 #if (!$nav_child.isSelected() && $nav_child.isChildSelected())                       
                            <li class="sub_menu">           
                                <a class="selected" href="$nav_child.getURL()" $nav_child.getTarget()>$nav_child_upper.toUpperCase()</a>
                            </li>

Goal for the week - 1 Angular JS fiddle per day

So I'm aiming to shoot for a goal this week. 1 Angular JS fiddle per day. Doesn't have to be anything that great. Something I can create within an hour or two.

Minor nuisances:

• Must be "No Wrap - in <head>
• Angular JS 1.0.3 at least

Good place to start is with a robust form using Angular JS controller and model elements

AJAX in Liferay Portlets Example

A working example for Liferay Portal with AJAX using AUI

3 components here. init.jsp, view.jsp and the portlet, in this case I call it AjaxTestPortlet and it extends GenericPortlet. init.jsp contains the basic setup stuff like "page" and "taglib" imports for liferay jsps.

Here is the code for the view.jsp

<%@ include file="init.jsp" %>

<portlet:resourceURL var="testLink" id="test22" />


<h1>Ajax Test</h1>
<div id="<portlet:namespace />testDiv">
    <label for="<portlet:namespace />name">Enter Name</label>
    <div>
        <input id="<portlet:namespace />name" name="usernameField" type="text" maxlength="255" value=""/>   
    </div>

    <label for="<portlet:namespace />age">Enter Age</label>
    <div>
        <input id="<portlet:namespace />age" name="incidentField" type="text" maxlength="255" value=""/>    
    </div>
</div>

<button onClick="javascript:<portlet:namespace />ajaxTest()">Test Ajax</button>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function <portlet:namespace />ajaxTest()
    {
        var url = '<%= testLink.toString() %>';
        AUI().use( function(A){
           
            var name1 = document.getElementById("<portlet:namespace />name").value;
            var age1 = document.getElementById("<portlet:namespace />age").value;
           
            A.io.request(url, {
                data: {
                    name: name1,
                    age: age1
                },
                dataType: 'json',
                on: {
                    failure: function(){
                    },

                    success: function(event, id, obj)
                    {
                        console.log("Ajax Test worked!!!!" + name1 + " and " + age1);
                        alert("Ajax Test Worked!!!!!" + name1 + " and " + age1);
                    }
                }
            });
        });
    }

</script>

And here is the code for the AjaxTestPortlet

 import java.io.IOException;

import javax.portlet.ActionRequest;
import javax.portlet.ActionResponse;
import javax.portlet.GenericPortlet;
import javax.portlet.PortletException;
import javax.portlet.PortletRequestDispatcher;
import javax.portlet.RenderRequest;
import javax.portlet.RenderResponse;

import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;

public class AjaxTestPortlet extends GenericPortlet {

    private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog(AjaxTestPortlet.class);

    protected static String viewJSP = "";

    public void init() throws PortletException {
        viewJSP = getInitParameter("view-jsp");
    }

    public void processAction(ActionRequest aReq, ActionResponse aResp) throws IOException,    PortletException {

    }

    public void doView(RenderRequest renderRequest, RenderResponse renderResponse)
            throws IOException, PortletException {

        include(viewJSP, renderRequest, renderResponse);
    }

    protected void include(String path, RenderRequest renderRequest, RenderResponse renderResponse)
            throws IOException, PortletException {
        PortletRequestDispatcher portletRequestDispatcher = getPortletContext()
                .getRequestDispatcher(path);
        if (portletRequestDispatcher == null) {
            log.error(path + " is not a valid include!");
        } else {
            portletRequestDispatcher.include(renderRequest, renderResponse);
        }
    }

Liferay Save File to Liferay CMS

Not the best method but it works:

public void saveFileToCMS(ActionRequest aReq, long groupId, String fileName, File filenameWithPath) {
        try {
            ServiceContext serviceContext = ServiceContextFactory.getInstance(
                    Group.class.getName(), aReq);

            // prevents duplicate entries based on unique title name
            Random rand = new Random();
            Integer suffix = new Integer(rand.nextInt(10000));

            // actual method which does inserting, poor liferay documentation on this
            DLAppServiceUtil.addFileEntry(groupId, 0, fileName, "application/vnd.ms-excel",
                    fileName + suffix.toString(), "description goes here", "changelogname",
                    filenameWithPath, serviceContext);
            log.info("Successfully added the new file");

        } catch (PortalException pe) {
            log.error("Portal Exception occurred while saving file to CMS");
            pe.printStackTrace();
        } catch (SystemException e) {

Spring PetClinic sample setup and description

Examining the Spring Pet Clinic Project

1. Forked the project on Github
2. Downloaded the Spring Petclinic project via eGit plugin through my github fork
3. Deleted project because it wasn't setup as a Maven project but directory was now there
4. Re-Imported it as a maven project and then "shared the project" via eGit to my fork
5. Project requires Tomcat, so I downloaded Apache Tomcat 7
6. Started up Tomcat and verified localhost:8080 worked
7. Also created Tomcat Server in Eclipse but not sure what it does yet 
8. CMD Prompt: Ran "mvn clean install" and it generated the war
9. CMD Prompt: Ran "mvn deploy" and it didn't deploy... going to hand copy it over
10. Found the default location of maven is ~/m2/
11. Found out I can right-click on pom.xml > Run As... ( maven build )
12. Copied the petclinic.war to the tomcat/webapps dir
13. Restarted tomcat, verified project in webapps directory
14. Went to localhost:8080 and logged into the manager gui with tomcat/s3cret
15. Deployed project to http://localhost:8080/petclinic
16. Read the project description at http://static.springsource.org/docs/petclinic.html
    I have to say they did an excellent job describing the application structure
17. Learned more about what a use case is
18. Had to setup the JDK in Eclipse due to error running mvn build
19. Unresolved test failures upon mvn build ( inside eclipse )
20. Reverted back to HSQL
21. Opened CMD prompt, went to pom dir, ran mvn clean install, worked fine
22. Reverted data-access.properties back to MYSQL

Some Questions/Goals/Concerns

1. What should I be focusing on.... Modifying the Spring code. ( yes, priority )
2. Where are the main parts of the project? ( 
3. How can I change the view?
4. How is Spring Roo involved in the Framework?
5. Does JPA add the annotations to the Entity POJOs?
6. How do I collapse all the methods I'm viewing in Eclipse?

Jboss jBPM first look

• Downloaded the jbpm-5.4.0.Final-installer-full.zip
• Extracted it to /hibernate folder
• Ran the build.xml scripts as referenced in the install.html for manual install
• Downloaded a 64 bit eclipse and dropped it into the extracted folder
• Went to Eclipse Marketplace and added this eclipse download site for DROOLS
  http://download.jboss.org/drools/release/5.5.0.Final/org.drools.updatesite/
• Installed the DROOLS core, Guvnor, jBPM Core and jBPM Task updates. 
• Went to File > New > Other > jBPM > jBPM project
• Configured a jBPM Runtime 

Areas to focus learning next

• Expert Spring Knowledge ( 3/20 )
• Maven Experience ( 3/20 ) 
• JBoss jBPM
• JBoss ESB
• Continuous Integration Tools
• Oracle

Liferay Service Builder Notes

Things I've learned while using Liferay Service Builder

• All you really write initially is a service.xml file with the table schemas.
  
• Then you right click the service.xml script > Liferay > Build Services
  
• When the server gets started, it updates the tables in the database automatically
  
• Service Builder can generate your queries for you using "Finder methods". These are declared inside the <entity> mapping of the service.xml. For example:
  
  <finder name="Product" return-type="Collection">
              <finder-column name="productId" />
  </finder>
  
  This line will generate a method which can be called via the ProductLocalServiceUtil class. It will take an ID and return a collection of product objects.
  
• Once you've ran Service Builder and you want to start using the auto generated methods, you first have to implement the Impl class methods. So if your class name was product, that file is ProductLocalServiceImpl. Heres the thing though that they don't explain very well in the Liferay documentation though. You make your model method calls to the productPersistence object (where product is replaced by your class name) without initializing it. So for instance,
  
  Product p = productPersistence.findByLatestProduct(true);
  
  Also of note, those queries Service Builder generated for you are in the that object, as referenced by my example above.

Liferay Notes: windowState, sessionErrors

Liferay First Hand Notes:

windowState 

When working on a portlet and creating a popup, in the there is a windowState variable which should be set. It basically tells the browser what parts of the screen to render on load. So for windowState, there is normal which includes everything, maximized which I'm not sure, and exclusive which shows only that JSP page. 

sessionErrors 

So there are 2 parts to sessionErrors:

First part: You must add something like this to the jsp
<liferay-ui:error key="excel-failure" message="File Extension Not Supported."/>

Second part: Wherever you call need to call the error in your java code, add something like this
SessionErrors.add(aReq, "excel-failure");

Maven Spring Hibernate MySQL Project

Goal: Create a Maven Spring Hibernate MySQL project with Git integration

http://www.mkyong.com/spring/maven-spring-hibernate-mysql-example/

• Ran this command in a dos prompt in the workspace folder:
  mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.exo.mass -DartifactId=MavenHibernateSpringMysql -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false
• It creates a folder and the layout structure
• Next I ran this command
  mvn eclipse:eclipse
• Then imported as a Maven project into Eclipse
• Created the database with MySQL Workbench
• 
  

Hibernate Generic DAO Project

First of all, I wrote a successful HQL query earlier using this link
http://www.mkyong.com/hibernate/hibernate-query-examples-hql/

                Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().openSession();
Query query = session.createQuery("from Actor where firstName = :firstName ");
query.setParameter("firstName", firstName);
List actors = query.list();
session.close();
return actors;

Anyways, I'm looking for a better way to use Hibernate without writing complex DAO's. I found a couple ways

http://blog.patouchas.net/technology/hibernate-dao-java-tutorial/

http://code.google.com/p/hibernate-generic-dao/

A bit later I finished that tutorial and also committed my project to git then pushed it to github.

Liferay Portal FileUpload Notes

First of all, I have one months experience using Liferay. I've created a custom theme and some simple portlets so far.

Now, I've been tasked with creating a Portlet to upload an Excel Document and display it in a   Table Grid ( Liferay SearchContainer )

So far implementing the SearchContainer was pretty simple. There are tons of code you can copy and slap into your JSP to have it display. I created a POJO and then built a list in my portlet, then called the portlet method in the searchContainer results.

First major hurdle I've had is with understanding the ActionURL in Liferay Portal as it corresponds to JSP pages.

• If you define <portlet:actionURL var="someURL" ... You do not have to have a jsp:useBean in your code

Hib Eclipse Part 3 Notes

New steps to take:

• In Eclipse, select Database Development. Right click Database Connections, New.
• Create a Java > Build Path > User Library
  Get jars from hibernate/required folder
• Download Hibernate Annotations GA
  Add EJB3Persistence and Annotations jars to user library
• Add 2 jars from /test dir

I didn't know:

• You don't need mapping files in the hibernate.cfg.xml if you're using annotations
• User Libraries simplify adding new projects
• The hibernate Dialect corresponds to a class type in the Hibernate distribution
• db-derby/bin/startNetworkServer

Hibernate with Eclipse Plugin Part 2

Some notes on what caused me a hassle before I finally got Hibernate with Eclipse Plugin working finally.

If you're using PostGres, make sure you add the Driver Jar to the library as well and remove the MySQL driver. 


I needed ALL of these jars. I had to download them individually. Why these aren't included in some package makes no sense to me honestly.

Hibernate ID generation

Use Longs, not Integers for ID auto incrementing

So did a totally from scratch 2nd example, I generated hibernate classes and hbm files from reverse engineering using this tutorial. http://www.wikihow.com/Generate-Hibernate-Pojo-Classes-from-DB-Tables

I still had JNDI setup errors, javax.naming.NoInitialContextException. I fixed it by 

Hibernate Tools plugin for Eclipse

Some steps of how I got Hibernate to run in Eclipse while using this tutorial
http://www.dzone.com/tutorials/java/hibernate/hibernate-example/hibernate-tools-1.html

Download the Hibernate Tools from
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/

Download the MySQL Jar to a folder on C:
Add to the CLASSPATH ( optional )

Create a Java Project
Create a Class

In Hibernate Perspective

New > hbm xml mapping file
New > hibernate.cfg.xml file
New > Console Configuration ( Drill down and find the MySQL jar and add it, its in a submenu )

Find the green run task on top bar > Hibernate Code Generation tool

Got a mapping exception, could not find *.hbm.xml file, went to project "Run as configurations", selected classpath and added the folder containing the hbm.xml to the path.
.HBM.XML MUST BE IN SAME FOLDER AS .JAVA !!!


Got an Error:
org.hibernate.MappingException: class ll.mit.edu.Person not found while looking for property: id

Fixed it by editing the src/ll/mit/edu/Person.hbm.xml file. This is what passed for me.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd" ><hibernate-mapping package="ll.mit.edu">    <class name="ll.mit.edu.Person" table="Person">        <id name="id" column="id" type="java.lang.Integer" />        <property name="name" column="name" type="java.lang.String"/>        <property name="surname" column="surname" type="java.lang.String" />        <property name="address" column="address" type="java.lang.String" />    </class></hibernate-mapping>

After that here is what my configuration looked like:

Project > New > Source Folder > select /src

Downloaded Hibernate from Sourceforge to C:\hibernate

In project java build path, added external jar, Hibernate3.jar to jar path

Java Checkstyle with Xalan Formatter

An ANT script I created to parse Java with Checkstyle and then parse it with Xalan formatting it into HTML

<project name="Checkstyle Code Review and Reports"
    basedir="." default="runCodeReview" >
   
    <property name="home.dir" location="/home/euish7v/ae23d" />
    <property name="checkstyle.dir" location="${home.dir}/checkstyle-5.6/" />
    <property name="xalan.dir" location="${home.dir}/Downloads/xalan-j_2_7_0" />
   
    <target name="runCodeReview">
        <taskdef resource="checkstyletask.properties"
              classpath="${checkstyle.dir}/checkstyle-5.6-all.jar" />
         <checkstyle config="${checkstyle.dir}/sun_checks.xml"
                 failOnViolation="false">
            <fileset dir="src/main/java">
                <include name="**/*.java"/>
            </fileset>
            <formatter type="xml" toFile="checkstyle-result.xml"/>
        </checkstyle>
    </target>
   
    <target name="generateReport">
        <xslt basedir="." destdir="${checkstyle.dir}/html"
                style="${checkstyle.dir}/contrib/checkstyle-frames.xsl" >
            <classpath>
                    <fileset dir="${xalan.dir}">
                            <include name="*.jar"/>
                    </fileset>
            </classpath>
        </xslt>        
    </target>
</project>

Unix, GIT and Maven Commands

Unix:

ps -ef | grep "liferay"
kill -9 18490
find . -name "liferay"
chmod -R a+rwx
vim .bashrc
CD to the WAR directory on your local machine, something like
~/liferay-6-ce-ga2/dist
LS to look at the files
scp SomePortlet.war 444.33.22.11:
In a new terminal tab
sudo cp SomePortlet.war /liferay/deploy
In a new terminal tab
cd /liferay/tomcat.../logs
tail -f catalina.out

GIT:

git status
git stash ( gets rid of adds/untracked files before you commit)
git commit -am "Comment goes here"
git checkout master
git pull origin master
git checkout develop
git push origin develop
git branch
git clean -f -d ( removes untracked files and directories from working copy )

git fetch
git remote prune origin


Maven

/usr/lib/mvn clean install  (from projects pom.xml directory)

Generating Javadoc comments for projects

Generating Javadoc for existing Java Projects with JAutoDoc

• Install the eclipse plugin from http://jautodoc.sourceforge.net/
• Under Window > Preferences > Java > JAutodoc, remove the option for "Add ToDo", the rest is pretty good standard.
  
• At the project root create a build file xml
• Add this code:
  
  <project name="ABC Project" basedir="." default="jautodoc">   
      <target name="jautodoc">       
          <jautodoc srcdir="src" includes="**/*.java"/>
      </target>
  </project>
• Add to the ANT view and then "Run As...", Select JRE tab and then select "Run in the same JRE as the workspace"
• Run the ant script and then verify the code.
