Call a jstl variable inside loop [duplicate] - jstl

I have a Map in EL as ${map} and I am trying to get the value of it using a key which is by itself also an EL variable ${key} with the value "1000".
Using ${map["1000"]} works, but ${map["$key"]} does not work. What am I doing wrong and how can I get the Map value using a variable as key?

$ is not the start of a variable name, it indicates the start of an expression. You should use ${map[key]} to access the property key in map map.
You can try it on a page with a GET parameter, using the following query string for example ?whatEver=something
<c:set var="myParam" value="whatEver"/>
whatEver: <c:out value="${param[myParam]}"/>
This will output:
whatEver: something
See: https://stackoverflow.com/tags/el/info and scroll to the section "Brace notation".

I have faced this issue before. This typically happens when the key is not a String. The fix is to cast the key to a String before using the key to get a value from the map
Something like this:
<c:set var="keyString">${someKeyThatIsNotString}</c:set>
<c:out value="${map[keyString]}"/>
Hope that helps

You can put the key-value in a map on Java side and access the same using JSTL on JSP page as below:
Prior java 1.7:
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
map.put("key","value");
Java 1.7 and above:
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("key","value");
JSP Snippet:
<c:out value="${map['key']}"/>

My five cents. Now I am working with EL 3.0 (jakarta impl) and I can access map value using three ways:
1. ${map.someKey}
2. ${map['someKey']}
3. ${map[someVar]} //if someVar == 'someKey'

I think that you should access your map something like:
${map.key}
and check some tutorials about jstl like 1 and 2 (a little bit outdated, but still functional)

Array concatenation in IBM Filenet P8 Expression Builder?

In the Expression Builder for the Workplace Process Designer, I have an attachment variable of type String[] (array of strings). I'd like to add some elements to it using the Expression Builder, but I can't work out the syntax. Has anyone done this? Is it even possible to add elements to an existing array in Expression Builder?
The arraytostring solution only works if there is only one element the array.
Assign the additional value with the following expression:
stringarray[elementcount(stringarray) + 1] = value
The expected 'array out of bound exception' and the resizing of the array is handled during the assignment.
I originally thought that it is not possible that we had to resort to have a custom java component to do the job, however I had run a small experiment that should serve as a workaround for your case.
Suppose you have String[] arrayType={"string1, string2"}, you can use the following expression as a value for your updated array:
{(arraytostring(arrayType, " ", " ,", ","))+"string3"}
What I did was that,
First, I used arraytostring function to convert the array to a string separated by comma with a comma left at the end. My output is similar to string1,string2,
Second, I appended the string that I want to add to the end of the string, so that my output is string1,string2,string3
Lastly, I assigned the value above to my array, using the array expression format {}, so my final evaluated string is {string1,string2,string3}
For more information about array functions, please follow the link below:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSNW2F_5.2.1/com.ibm.p8.pe.user.doc/bpfe003.htm
I had a case like this, here is what I did:
I get the array from the attachment using the CE-Operation and store
in an array property on the workflow
Then I used the following to
{(arraytostring(workflowArray, " ", " ,", ","))+workflowStringProp}
using the CE-Operation again to set the array in the attachment with
the workflowArray.

How can I set a FreeMarker variable with an interpolated value? error: "You can't use "${" here as you are already in FreeMarker-expression-mode."?

I am absolutly new in FreeMarker and I have the following problem working on a Spring MVC application that use this template engine.
So into a controller method I put an int representing the current year (2016) into the model, in this way:
model.addAttribute("annoCorrente", annoCorrente);
Then, into my FreeMarker page I have to assign this value to a variable, so I write the following expression:
<#assign a = ${annoCorrente}>
But in this way I obtain the following error message:
[col. 86] You can't use "${" here as you are already in FreeMarker-expression-mode. Thus, instead of ${myExpression}, just write myExpression. (${...} is only needed where otherwise static text is expected, i.e, outside FreeMarker tags and ${...}-s.)
Why? How can I correctly initizialize a FreeMarker variable with the value obtained from the model associated to this view?
Change <#assign a = ${annoCorrente}> to <#assign a = annoCorrente>
(or you can do <#assign a = "${annoCorrente}"> but this is not recommended)

get list of servers Ebean+Play

I need to get a list of all existing servers in the application.conf file, I take a look to EBean class, but i only found how to get an specific server Ebean.getServer("test"), also this returns an EbeanServer object, and i need a string value.
This is part of my application.conf:
db.default.driver=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
db.default.url="jdbc:oracle:thin:#//178.20.26.25:1521/orcl"
db.default.user="TEST1"
db.default.password="test1"
db.test.driver=oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
db.test.url="jdbc:oracle:thin:#//178.20.26.26:1521/orcl"
db.test.user="TEST"
db.test.password="test"
ebean.default="models.*"
ebean.test="models.*"
My expected output is a list that contains (default,test). Does anybody know a way to get this without parsing hole file?
Thanks in advance.
Following code will give set instead of list:
Map<String, String> map = (Map<String, String>) play.Play.application().configuration().getObject("db");
Set<String> keys = map.keySet();
If you want to do it in type safe way and get rid of compiler warning:
Set<String> keys = play.Play.application().configuration().getConfig("db").subKeys();
Both examples will return subkeys of db key which is [default, test].

How to use "Result Variable Name" in JDBC Request object of Jmeter

In JMeter I added the configuration for oracle server. Then I added a JDBC request object and put the ResultSet variable name to status.
The test executes fine and result is displayed in treeview listener.
I want to use the variable status and compare it with string but jmeter is throwing error about casting arraylist to string.
How to retrieve this variable and compare with string in While Controller?
Just used some time to figure this out and think the accepted answer is slightly incorrect as the JDBC request sampler has two types of result variables.
The ones you specify in the Variable names box map to individual columns returned by your query and these you can access by saying columnVariable_{index}.
The one you specify in the Result variable name contains the entire result set and in practice this is a list of maps to values. The above syntax will obviously not work in this case.
The ResultSet variable returned with JDBC request in JMeter are in the for of array. So if you want to use variable status, you will have to use it with index. If you want to use the first(or only) record user status_1. So you need to use it like status_{index}.
String host = vars.getObject("status").get(0).get("option_value");
print(host);
log.info("----- " + host);
Form complete infromation read the "yellow box" in this link:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#JDBC_Request
Other util example:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/build-db-test-plan.html
You can use Beanshell/Groovy (same code works) in JSR233 PostProcessor to work with “Result Variable Name” from JDBC Request like this:
ArrayList results = vars.getObject("status");
for (HashMap row: results){
Iterator it = row.entrySet().iterator();
while (it.hasNext()){
Map.Entry pair = (Map.Entry)it.next();
log.info(pair.getKey() + "=" + pair.getValue());
}
}
Instead of output to log replace with adding to string with delimiters of your choice.

XPATH SELENIUM=Cannot add variable

I am trying to add a variable to an xpath but to no avail
This works below for java
assertTrue("Failed", verifyElementPresent("//*[#class='StdLJText' and contains(.,'2 Employees selected')]"));
but when I add a variable , like below it does not
String CountEmp1="2";
assertTrue("Failed", verifyElementPresent("//*[#class='StdLJText' and contains(.,CountEmp1+'Employees selected')]"));
You need to put CountEmp1 as a string addition in the main verifyElePresent func i.e verifyElementPresent("//*[#class='StdLJText' and contains(.,"+CountEmp1+"Employees selected')]"));
Note the replacement of "+CountEmp1+" at contains(.,CountEmp1+'
With your xpath the verifyElementPresent method basically looks for //*[#class='StdLJText' and contains(.,CountEmp1+'Employees selected')] where countEmp1 is taken as string value and not something that needs to be concatenadated.
