Response data is changed when calling web api using ajax request - ajax

I have a web api which is returning a list(each item consists of bit values).
But when I see response from client side in console, I found that the bit value is changed.
For example if I have 36028797018963968 bit value in database then it is changed to 36028797018963970.
This is happening only for this bit value. In a list of 5 values only the above mentioned value is changing. The remaining are coming fine.
I have never seen this type of behaviour before, so I am not sure what else I should be posting here. Ask me if you need anything else.

There is no limitation for integer values in Json. But Javascript has boundaries.
JSON transfer of bigint: 12000000000002539 is converted to 12000000000002540?

Access the replied/forwarded/etc state from REST

I am trying to get and set the forwarded/replied state of an email message in the Graph API. This is the represented in OWA by the little icon in the right column.
It seems there is not a first class way to access this information, at least it does not come out in the unfiltered JSON dump.
Google suggests this is stored in the extended properties for PidTagLastVerbExecuted or PidTagIconIndex, however attempts to access these just give back 404:
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/mailFolders/{id}/messages?$select=SingleValueExtendedProperties&$expand=SingleValueExtendedProperties($filter%3Did+eq+'String+0x1081')
Other extended properties like 0x0070 do work, so it seems the syntax is correct, and 0x1081 comes from here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/client-developer/outlook/mapi/pidtaglastverbexecuted-canonical-property
This information is stored, you can see it in OWA, the Outlook apps, and you can see it in IMAP.
Is there some way to do this? It seems strange this basic information about the email state is not made available.
Your specifying the wrong datatype that property is defined as a Long in the documentation (but the doco is for MAPI) so its actually an Integer in EWS and Graph eg this is something i used to return both PidTagLastVerbExecuted and PidTagLastVerbExecutedTime (which gives you the time of the last action)for a particular message
/v1.0/users('user#domaincom')/MailFolders/AllItems/messages/?$select=ReceivedDateTime,Sender,Subject,IsRead,inferenceClassification,InternetMessageId,parentFolderId,hasAttachments,webLink,InternetMessageHeaders&$Top=1000&$filter=internetMessageId+eq+%27%3cSG2PR04MB3223962312D5B46D0C9CA1B5C89C0%40SG2PR04MB3223.apcprd04.prod.outlook.com%3e%27&$expand=SingleValueExtendedProperties($filter=(Id%20eq%20'Integer%200x1081')%20or%20(Id%20eq%20'SystemTime%200x1082'))

How to display cookie value in JSF facelet (xhtml file) by using implicit object; "cookie"

I wrote a code as follows in JSF facelet(xhtml file)
${cookie}
If I run the xhtml file on a web app server. The below is displayed on the screen.
{JSESSIONID=javax.servlet.http.Cookie#faf91d8}
However, it seems to be the address of where the cookie instance is stored.
I want to see the value(sessionid) in the cookie.
I tried this code, but it did not work.
${cookie[value]}
I tried reading the following specifications in JCP, but I could not find the answer.
https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=372
Could you please tell me how to properly write a code to display a value in a cookie? I would appreciate your help.
As you can see from what is printed, it looks like a key-value pair and since the spec says it maps to a single cookie,
#{cookie['JSESSIONID']}
is what returns an actual single cookie. But you still need the value of it so
#{cookie['JSESSIONID'].value}
is most likely what you need

How do I parse a POST to my Rails 3.1 server manually?

Scenario:
I have a Board model in my Rails server side, and an Android device is trying to post some content to a specific board via a POST. Finally, the server needs to send back a response to the Android device.
How do I parse the POST manually (or do I need to)? I am not sure how to handle this kind of external request. I looked into Metal, Middleware, HttpParty; but none of them seems to fit what I am trying to do. The reason I want to parse it manually is because some of the information I want will not be part of the parameters.
Does anyone know a way to approach this problem?
I am also thinking about using SSL later on, how might this affect the problem?
Thank you in advance!! :)
I was trying to make a cross-domain request from ie9 to my rails app, and I needed to parse the body of a POST manually because ie9's XDR object restricts the contentType that we can send to text/plain, rather than application/x-www-urlencoded (see this post). Originally I had just been using the params hash provided by the controller, but once I restricted the contentType and dataType in my ajax request, that hash no longer contained the right information.
Following the URL in the comment above (link), I learned the how to recover that information. The author mentions that in a rails controller we always have access to a request variable that gives us an instance of the ActionDispatch::Request object. I tried to use request.query_string to get at the request body, but that just returned an empty string. A bit of snooping in the API, though, uncovered the raw_post method. That method returned exactly what I needed!
To "parse it manually" you could iterate over the string returned by request.raw_post and do whatever you want, but I don't recommend it. I used Rack::Utils.parse_nested_query, as suggested in Arthur Gunn's answer to this question, to parse the raw_post into a hash. Once it is in hash form, you can shove whatever else you need in there, and then merge it with the params hash. Doing this meant I didn't have to change much else in my controller!
params.merge!(Rack::Utils.parse_nested_query(request.raw_post))
Hope that helps someone!
Not sure exactly what you mean by "manually", posts are normally handled by the "create" or "update" methods in the controller. Check out the controller for your Board model, and you can add code to the appropriate method. You can access the params with the params hash.
You should be more specific about what you are trying to do. :)

ajax send parameter to jsp but failed

I am trying to send data to my jsp via:"xhr.send(projectCode);"
but apparently the parameter is not received when I am trying to realise it with System.out.print it is a null displayed.
so the story from the begining. my javascript function send the parameter to the jsp whitch construct an xml file and resend to the first one.
this will reconstruct my second dropdownList with the xml code constructed and received.
so the problem that the parameter dosent sent at all.
What should I do.
Just note in case the syntax whatever you have sent is like this:
url="postjob2.jsp?param=" + param;
After param=" keep a space and then the parameter. My issue got resolved as soon as I entered the space.
The simplest all-round solution is to run your application with a HTTP-tracer, such as fiddler for windows or wireshark. In that way you can see if the proper data is being submitted from your client to the server Given the amount of details you provide, I think this is the best starting point

GET vs POST in AJAX?

Why are there GET and POST requests in AJAX as it does not affect page URL anyway? What difference does it make by passing sensitive data over GET in AJAX as the data is not getting reflected to page URL?
You should use the proper HTTP verb according to what you require from your web service.
When dealing with a Collection URI like: http://example.com/resources/
GET: List the members of the collection, complete with their member URIs for further navigation. For example, list all the cars for sale.
PUT: Meaning defined as "replace the entire collection with another collection".
POST: Create a new entry in the collection where the ID is assigned automatically by the collection. The ID created is usually included as part of the data returned by this operation.
DELETE: Meaning defined as "delete the entire collection".
When dealing with a Member URI like: http://example.com/resources/7HOU57Y
GET: Retrieve a representation of the addressed member of the collection expressed in an appropriate MIME type.
PUT: Update the addressed member of the collection or create it with the specified ID.
POST: Treats the addressed member as a collection in its own right and creates a new subordinate of it.
DELETE: Delete the addressed member of the collection.

Well, as for GET, you still have the url length limitation. Other than that, it is quite conceivable that the server treats POST and GET requests differently; thus the need to be able to specify what request you're doing.
Another difference between GET and POST is the way caching is handled in browsers. POST response is never cached. GET may or may not be cached based on the caching rules specified in your response headers.
Two primary reasons for having them:
GET requests have some pretty restrictive limitations on size; POST are typically capable of containing much more information.
The backend may be expecting GET or POST, depending on how it's designed. We need the flexibility of doing a GET if the backend expects one, or a POST if that's what it's expecting.
It's simply down to respecting the rules of the http protocol.
Get - calls must be idempotent. This means that if you call it multiple times you will get the same result. It is not intended to change the underlying data. You might use this for a search box etc.
Post - calls are NOT idempotent. It is allowed to make a change to the underlying data, so might be used in a create method. If you call it multiple times you will create multiple entries.
You normally send parameters to the AJAX script, it returns data based on these parameters. It works just like a form that has method="get" or method="post". When using the GET method, the parameters are passed in the query string. When using POST method, the parameters are sent in the post body.
Generally, if your parameters have very few characters and do not contain sensitive information then you send them via GET method. Sensitive data (e.g. password) or long text (e.g. an 8000 character long bio of a person) are better sent via POST method.
Thanks..
I mainly use the GET method with Ajax and I haven't got any problems until now except the following:
Internet Explorer (unlike Firefox and Google Chrome) cache GET calling if using the same GET values.
So, using some interval with Ajax GET can show the same results unless you change URL with irrelevant random number usage for each Ajax GET.
Others have covered the main points (context/idempotency, and size), but i'll add another: encryption. If you are using SSL and want to encrypt your input args, you need to use POST.
When we use the GET method in Ajax, only the content of the value of the field is sent, not the format in which the content is. For example, content in the text area is just added in the URL in case of the GET method (without a new line character). That is not the case in the POST method.
