I am trying to access a bean from a list of beans at a specific index (which varies for each function call).
I can do it with a static number like ${fruits[0].name}.
But trying to access it like ${fruits[x].name}, where in var x is received in the javascript function, does not work.
JavaScript is executed on client side while JSTL is done on server side. So it is not possible to pass variables of JavaScript to JSTL.
You may have to use Ajax, WebSocket or get all variables needed by client side on server side.

I want to add "Weather: 24C" to the rental-listing component of the super-rentals tutorial app.
Where would be the "best-practices" place to put this ajax request?
Ember.$.getJSON(`http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=${location}&APPID=${apiKey}`)
.then(function(json) {
return JSON.parse(json).main.temp;
});
Do I need to add a component, add a model, add a service, add a second adapter, modify the existing adapter? Something else? All of these? Is the problem that the tutorial uses Mirage? I ask this because when I think I'm getting close, I get an error like this:
Mirage: Your Ember app tried to GET
'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=london&APPID=5432',
but there was no route defined to handle this request.
Define a route that matches this path in your
mirage/config.js file. Did you forget to add your namespace?
You need to configure mirage to allow you making calls to outside in case mirage is active; what I mean is using this.passthrough function within mirage/config.js, that is explained in api documentation quite well.
Regarding your question about where to make the remote call is; it depends:
If you need the data from the server to arrive in case a route is about to open; you should prefer putting it within model hook of the corresponding route.
If you intend to develop a component that is to be reused from within different routes or even from within different applications with the same remote call over and over again; you can consider putting the ajax remote call to a component. Even if that is not a very common case usually; it might be the case that a component itself should be wrapped up to fetch the data and display it by itself for reusing in different places; there is nothing that prevents you to do so. However by usually applying data-down action-up principle; generally the remote calls fall into routes or controllers.
Whether using an ember-data model is another thing to consider. If you intend to use ember-data; you should not directly use Ember.$.ajax but rather be using store provided by ember-data and perhaps providing your custom adapter/serializer to convert data to the format ember-data accepts in case the server do not match to the formats that ember-data accepts. In summary; you do not need to use models if you use pure ajax as you do in this question.
I'm trying to use express-flash in a standard web express js app. I don't want to use session, because I want to do the app as stateless as possible, but when I try to use without session, the app show me this error:
req.flash() requires sessions
Can I use express-flash without session? Can I use other alternatives for this kind of messages?
Thanks.
Note: A flash message is a variable stored within a session that is only available once, for the next request. That is if we put a flash variable and renders a page, the flash variable is available but if we render the same (or other) page again the flash variable is not present (it is destroyed).
-- acanimal
Based on this premise, you need to have sessions to use message flashing.
One way I think you can accomplish what you want is to add an item to the request (req) object in your middleware, and then in your controller, check if the key exists. You can then pass a specific message to your template, assuming you're using a template engine or pass it as part of your response.
Hope this helps.
I am using Spring Security with Spring Controllers. There are some weird requests caused by some third party browser extension ending such as undefined or weird hexadecimal numbers. I would like to configure my application to block these requests but I could not find an easy way.
I do not want to declare a empty controller for this purpose. What is the correct way to return no-content for these requests?
Edit:
Some sample requets:
/activity/favorites/undefined
/activity/favorites/my/undefined
/help/undefined
Create some servlet filter that is invoked for every request (*). That filter has to check the request URL, and if it is on of the "strangers" that return what you want, but prevent the request from being future processed.
I am trying to work out a way to provide a CSV download through a Spring 3 Portlet. I have a method that uses the #ResourceMapping annotation to define a handler that takes some report params in the form of a #ModelAttribute, builds the report, and returns it. The catch-22 I am running into is validating the parameters being send in from the client form.
If I make the handler a #ResourceMapping, I can set the headers and write out the report as using the ResourceResponse, but I can't seem to figure out how to redirect the user back to the Portlet view with errors when their input fails validation. However, if I make it an #ActionMapping, I can then check the BindingResults and forward them back to the form as needed, but the ActionResponse doesn't allow me to set the Content-Disposition header nor write out the CSV bytes, which is sort of critical for sending the report back.
I am at a total loss here, as I don't even know what my options are. Is it even possible to do what I am trying to do with a Portlet? Are there other examples I could look at for a possible work-around?
I suggest you to use both #ActionMapping and #ResourceMapping to fulfill your requirement.
As you said you were able to handle the validation errors using the #ActionResponse, I'll tell you how to handle the Resource Streaming.
As you know every #ActionResponse is followed by a #RenderResponse, just return the same view but, with a hidden iframe this time whose src points to the ResourceURL.
Now the Request you receive in #ResourceMapping is something which is already Validated. So, you can now serve your CSV.
I dont know how complex is your UI and if you are using jsp as views in your application. If nicely managed, Validation can be handled by #ResourceMapping.
Thank you
I'd like to be able to access some HTTP GET parameters directly in a JSP, without having to pass them through a Controller+Model, but at the same time still use the dispatcher/controller/model/view mechanism for other parameters and logic.
This is because I have many HTTP GET parameters that are generated by Javascript and used also only in Javascript. My Controllers don't need them at all.
I tried ${arg}, ${request.arg}, ${requestScope.arg}, nothing seems to work.
If I bypass the dispatcher, ${requestScope.arg} works.
But is there a way to make it work with the dispatcher?
Thanks!
If that's request parameters that you want to access (and not request attributes like the title says), then the syntax is ${param.parameterName}.
If it's request attributes, then it's ${requestScope.attributeName}.
