How to generate operation documentation at run time? - asp.net

Can you set Swashbuckle documentation for an Operation at runtime?
Example: document list of values that are allowed, which is based on an internal dictionary but could also be based on configuration.
What does not solve the problem:
Use XML documentation: sets documentation from the XML comments in code. This is static instead of dynamic.
Set global description using the AddSwaggerGen method. This is dynamic, but at the wrong level.

Using an ISchemaFilter you can do some crazy documentation.
Here is an example:

.Net Inline Schema/XML Programmatic Generation for Excel

I have a set of data rendered using ASP.Net (VB.Net) to a web page. I now want to export that data to XML. I have created some code to generate a schema, however, I don't know what to do next. I want to have the schema be in-line with the XML data, and I would like the compiler to check to make sure that the data I'm entering for the XML content validates against the included schema. Anyone know of a way to do this? The idea is for me to be able to open the resultant file in Excel with fields of the correct type.
I've build XML documents before, and this is my first schema document I've created programmatically. However, I've never worked with inline schema's, much less used them to strongly-type the XML being added to the document.
I've read over the following, which were quite helpful, but neither of which addressed the issue I mention above:
http://www.aspfree.com/c/a/XML/Generating-XML-Schema-Dynamically-Using-VBNET-2005-Essentials/
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kaevans/archive/2007/06/05/inline-an-xml-schema-into-your-xml-document.aspx
I have no idea what you mean by "... I would like the compiler to check to make sure that the data I'm entering for the XML content validates against the included schema."
The compiler never checks that. If you want to validate your XML Document against a schema programmatically, you should probably use http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.schema.xmlschemavalidator.aspx.
But for inlining the schema with your document, you sort of answered your own question. The second link in your question, to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kaevans/archive/2007/06/05/inline-an-xml-schema-into-your-xml-document.aspx, is exactly what you are trying to do.
You can think of an inline XML Schema as a document-within-a-document. Well, using Kirk's example, the outermost document is more of a container which uses the undefined namespace (no schema). His example uses a document root of "DerekDoc" that belongs to the undefined namespace. You can name yours whatever you want.
Inside that root are essentially two documents. One is the inline XML Schema. You would just add it as a child element of the root. The other is the XML document that you intended to conform to the XML Schema. You will need to use the xmlns attribute to set this element to the namespace defined by your XML Schema (the target namespace of the schema).
It might work (I haven't tried it) to set the root element to the target namespace of the schema, but it might be harder for clients to validate the document since it's a forward reference.

Accessing an object's workflow state in collective.easytemplate

I would like to use collective.easytemplate to generate templated emails (for content rules). However, I am not sure if it can output an objects workflow state. Anybody know if it is possible and how it is done?
Thanks.
You can, it is possible, and one way is to use the portal_workflow tool e.g. from parts/omelette/plone/app/contentrules/tests/test_action_workflow.py:
self.assertEquals('published',
self.portal.portal_workflow.getInfoFor(self.folder.d1, 'review_state'))
More generally, something like:
context.portal_workflow.getInfoFor(context, 'review_state')
in a page template should work. Or use the portal_catalog as Spanky suggests e.g. if "obj" is a catalog "brain" (i.e. part of a result set from a catalog search) then:
obj.review_state
should work.
The portal_catalog also has an index of the workflow's Review State, so if you don't already have the object you're working on (e.g. context ≠ the object) you could use the catalog, look up the object and get the review state from the resulting "brains" object.
Apparently there are ALSO browser view methods available to you as well, and I notice that one of them is workflow_state. See:

How to override record table naming to access existing data in Orchard CMS

I need to access data from pre-existing tables. I've started working my way through creating a module to display the data etc. However, Orchard is prefixing the table commands with the 'Table_Prefix' and 'Module Name'.
Is there any way I can specify what table to bind the model, so that I can use the existing IRepository
I'm trying to steer clear of modifying the core code, or implement my own IRepository ( which I've got a feeling is what I'm going to have to do.)
Thanks in advance.
You can create custom table naming convention (so that it would fit your current naming) by altering the core code, in three ways:
Record name mapping is created in BuildRecord method of
CompositionStrategy class
(Orchard.Framework/Environment/ShellBuilders/CompositionStrategy), so you can simply modify the code here.
By altering the Apply method of Orchard.Data.Conventions.RecordTableNameConvention class. This is where the record table name mappings (built in point 1.) get pushed to NHibernate.
Create your own implementation of FluentNHibernate.Conventions.IClassConvention (similar to RecordTableNameConvention mentioned above and replace the default one used by AutoMap in Orchard.Data.Providers.AbstractDataServicesProvider's CreatePersistenceModel(...) method with it.
You could also create your own IDataServicesProvider implementation, but that would surely be an overkill if you only need to change the table naming convention.
I was modifying CompositionStrategy and discovered that you have to modify the following
1. SetupService.cs (Modules\Orchard.Setup\Services):
Tables hardcoded in the Setup method are
"Orchard_Framework_DataMigrationRecord" and
"Settings_ShellDescriptorRecord"
2. InfosetController.cs (Modules\Upgrade\Controllers):
Multiple tables were hardcoded in this class which need to be updated.
3. DataMigrationManager.cs (Data\Migration):
Replace the SchemaBuilder parameters to the contructor.

Is it possible to place custom values (properties) in ejb-jar.xml?

1) We are using OpenEJB (both embedded and standalone) with a few deployed EJBs. We would like to specify some simple static business rules and values (example: icon_size=200). Normally, we would put them in a regular properties file (example: rules.properties). Since we shouldn't access the file system directly while inside the application server, is is possible to place those key-value pairs somewhere inside the ejb-jar.xml?
2) If not, is there a standard mechanism to do this? What is it?
Thanks
Use env-entry. In XML:
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>icon_size</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.Integer</env-entry-type>
<env-entry-value>200</env-entry-value>
</env-entry>
In annotation:
#Resource(name="icon_size")
int icon_size;
I personally just use a .properties file; well a TernarySearchTree which reads in .properties and .XML files and allows quick retrieval. These files are available at application level. However you can in EJB 3 inject env-entry elements into your EJB. This link explains it in good detail Injection of env entry
There are some OpenEJB extensions here that might be useful.
env-entries.properties
Check out the Custom Injection example which is basically allows the <env-entry> to be specified as plain properties in a META-INF/env-entries.properties file. Nice for collapsing all those name & value pairs into a simple properties file. Internally, we just generate the xml for you using those properties. The default type is always java.lang.String, which is good for this next part.
java.beans.PropertyEditor support
Any <env-entry> which is of <env-entry-type> java.lang.String will automatically have its type converted using the VM java.beans.PropertyEditor for the target type. That's also how Spring does the converting. There are few built-in converters, such as #Resource java.util.Date myDate and #Resource java.io.File myFile

How do I exclude the Scheme name from SqlMetal generated Objects?

SqlMetal is creating object names such as...
The View:
Sales.ProductDescription
is created as:
Sales_ProductDescription
Ideally SqlMetal would create the ProductDescription class under a namespace .Sales. but thats probably too much to ask for. So is there anyways to get it to create the class without the sheme prefix such as "ProductDescription".
Thanks,
Justin
This would involve some modifications to the DBML file after it's been generated. However, in terms of maintainability that might restrict your ability to quickly regenerate when the schema changes.
If you have a volatile schema you could check out this collection of powershell scripts I wrote some time ago that will handle such changes to the DBML. It takes an XML file as input. Warning: the sample in the code repository may be out of date, but the scripts certainly work - I still use them.
SqlMetal has an optional parameter to include a namespace. The default value is no namespace. Check out this link on MSDN.
