jruby add RXTX serial listener - serial-port

I need to read a message incoming every 500ms from the serial COMx or /dev/ttySx interfaces under jruby.
What I am trying to do is to translate this example to Ruby in order to retrigger the listener.
I am learning jRuby so I started to activate the serial port and then I am trying to add the listener in this way:
java_import('gnu.io.RXTXPort') { 'JSerialPort' }
begin
sp=JSerialPort.new('COM6')
sp.setSerialPortParams(38400,8,1,0)
rescue
puts #error_message="myerror #{$!}"
ensure
sp.close
end
It seems to work.
Next is to add the listener which in the above example is described at this line
serialPort.addEventListener(new SerialReader(in));
This is described here where an addListener method is described.
I tried many ways to call the addListener methods, but I don't manage to call by jRuby such an inner method.
I tried sp::RXTXPort::addEventListener with no luck. Long research googling set me to stall (and some frustration).
Any help welcome.

Arduinocloud Begin without WiFiConnectionHandler Parameter

I searched in documentation and google a little but didn't see the "arduinocloud.begin" function call without the "WiFiConnectionHandler" parameter. I am handling wifi connections with the ESP8266WiFiMulti library and don't want to change it.
Is there a way to bypass the parameter of begin and other events connected to it?

How to make command to wait until all events triggered against it are completed successfully

I have came across a requirement where i want axon to wait untill all events in the eventbus fired against a particular Command finishes their execution. I will the brief the scenario:
I have a RestController which fires below command to create an application entity:
#RestController
class myController{
#PostMapping("/create")
#ResponseBody
public String create(
org.axonframework.commandhandling.gateway.CommandGateway.sendAndWait(new CreateApplicationCommand());
System.out.println(“in myController:: after sending CreateApplicationCommand”);
}
}
This command is being handled in the Aggregate, The Aggregate class is annotated with org.axonframework.spring.stereotype.Aggregate:
#Aggregate
class MyAggregate{
#CommandHandler //org.axonframework.commandhandling.CommandHandler
private MyAggregate(CreateApplicationCommand command) {
org.axonframework.modelling.command.AggregateLifecycle.apply(new AppCreatedEvent());
System.out.println(“in MyAggregate:: after firing AppCreatedEvent”);
}
#EventSourcingHandler //org.axonframework.eventsourcing.EventSourcingHandler
private void on(AppCreatedEvent appCreatedEvent) {
// Updates the state of the aggregate
this.id = appCreatedEvent.getId();
this.name = appCreatedEvent.getName();
System.out.println(“in MyAggregate:: after updating state”);
}
}
The AppCreatedEvent is handled at 2 places:
In the Aggregate itself, as we can see above.
In the projection class as below:
#EventHandler //org.axonframework.eventhandling.EventHandler
void on(AppCreatedEvent appCreatedEvent){
// persists into database
System.out.println(“in Projection:: after saving into database”);
}
The problem here is after catching the event at first place(i.e., inside aggregate) the call gets returned to myController.
i.e. The output here is:
in MyAggregate:: after firing AppCreatedEvent
in MyAggregate:: after updating state
in myController:: after sending CreateApplicationCommand
in Projection:: after saving into database
The output which i want is:
in MyAggregate:: after firing AppCreatedEvent
in MyAggregate:: after updating state
in Projection:: after saving into database
in myController:: after sending CreateApplicationCommand
In simple words, i want axon to wait untill all events triggered against a particular command are executed completely and then return to the class which triggered the command.
After searching on the forum i got to know that all sendAndWait does is wait until the handling of the command and publication of the events is finalized, and then i tired with Reactor Extension as well using below but got same results: org.axonframework.extensions.reactor.commandhandling.gateway.ReactorCommandGateway.send(new CreateApplicationCommand()).block();
Can someone please help me out.
Thanks in advance.
What would be best in your situation, #rohit, is to embrace the fact you are using an eventually consistent solution here. Thus, Command Handling is entirely separate from Event Handling, making the Query Models you create eventually consistent with the Command Model (your aggregates). Therefore, you wouldn't necessarily wait for the events exactly but react when the Query Model is present.
Embracing this comes down to building your application such that "yeah, I know my response might not be up to date now, but it might be somewhere in the near future." It is thus recommended to subscribe to the result you are interested in after or before the fact you have dispatched a command.
For example, you could see this as using WebSockets with the STOMP protocol, or you could tap into Project Reactor and use the Flux result type to receive the results as they go.
From your description, I assume you or your business have decided that the UI component should react in the (old-fashioned) synchronous way. There's nothing wrong with that, but it will bite your *ss when it comes to using something inherently eventually consistent like CQRS. You can, however, spoof the fact you are synchronous in your front-end, if you will.
To achieve this, I would recommend using Axon's Subscription Query to subscribe to the query model you know will be updated by the command you will send.
In pseudo-code, that would look a little bit like this:
public Result mySynchronousCall(String identifier) {
// Subscribe to the updates to come
SubscriptionQueryResult<Result> result = QueryGateway.subscriptionQuery(...);
// Issue command to update
CommandGateway.send(...);
// Wait on the Flux for the first result, and then close it
return result.updates()
.next()
.map(...)
.timeout(...)
.doFinally(it -> result.close());
}
You could see this being done in this sample WebFluxRest class, by the way.
Note that you are essentially closing the door to the front-end to tap into the asynchronous goodness by doing this. It'll work and allow you to wait for the result to be there as soon as it is there, but you'll lose some flexibility.

How do you get code to execute at the end of a procedure?

I'm working on a new piece of code at work to assist the rest of the programmers in making app server calls. Previously we just had a .i file and relied on the developer to make sure you made all the right calls and cleaned up the app server connection at the end of the program. Obviously some people have forgotten to do that in the past and it's caused problems for us.
I've been building a basic appserver.cls file, but I can't figure out how to get it to disconnect at the end of the program.
I've tried the following things so far.
ON CLOSE OF THIS-PROCEDURE
DO:
clAppServer:cleanupAppServer().
END.
This doesn't seem to fire at the end of the webspeed call.
DESTRUCTOR appserver():
cleanupAppServer().
END DESTRUCTOR.
This works when it does garbage collection, but Progress doesn't seem to do garbage collection at the end of a webspeed call and the objects are still in memory (which is an entirely different issue that I need to deal with).
ON CLOSE OF SESSION:LAST-PROCEDURE
DO:
clAppServer:cleanupAppServer().
END.
This doesn't even compile obviously.
I've tried a whole bunch of other things that are variants on these three to no avail.
Is there any way to do what I'm asking? Bonus points if it can be inside the appserver.cls file.
If I understand the question, you want to disconnect from another AppServer once the work is done. Would try something along the lines of the below work?
Create a AppServer-handle-wrapper class. This class is responsible for the A/S connection; it has a public "Handle" (or similarly-named) property that you can use to run stuff on the AppServer.
In this class' destructor you can add code that does your clean-up : disconnect and delete server handle .
Code that wants to run something on the AppServer does something like ...
def var asConn as AppServerConnection.
asConn = new AppServerConnection().
run foo.p on asConn:Handle (param1, out param2).
// cause GC
asConn = ?.
// manually destroy
delete object asConn.
The destructor will then do the right thing.
Note that if you have this code in an internal procedure or method, then the variable would go out of scope at the end of it, and the GC would kick in.
There's an example of this approach at https://github.com/consultingwerk/ADE-Sourcecode/blob/566ac0a6e085d6305a8f364f13a1d805d3597d2a/src/netlib/OpenEdge/Net/ServerConnection/ClientSocket.cls
Bear in mind that in the ClientSocket is that the handle is private - you may want to make it public for a general AppServer connection.

'ChromiumWebBrowser' does not contain a definition for 'NewScreenshot'

I'm just looking into CefSharp and am confused about NewScreenshot. I've found lots of references to it as well as example code, but none of it works. I found it marked as obsolete in the 63.0 docs...
Has NewScreenshot been removed? If so, what replaces it (how can I tell that the screen has rendered)? For my purposes a blocking (non-async) method would work fine.
Update:
Searching the source for the latest version of CefSharp I find no reference to NewScreenshot.
I started with the Minimal Example that #amaitland referred to. I made a few changes, adapting it for my use. As part of that change I moved the Shutdown() call to the program's destructor.
When I ran the project I received a mystifying error about calling Shutdown() from a thread different than the thread from which Initialize() was called.
Looking through the code I saw ScreenshotAsync and, as I wasn't (knowingly) using another thread, suspected it may be involved. I looked for another way to get my SVG image and found NewScreenshot. Which of course didn't solve my problem, which was that the GC was running my destructor in a different thread (I had no idea that could happen).
At any rate, by this time I'd shucked ScreenshotAsync for NewScreenshot which is how I ended up here.
I set a breakpoint in my handler (which I haven't included as it's never called). Here's what I hope is the relevant code. I've omitted the init code but I believe it's unchanged from the example.
public static void Main()
{
private const string url = "https://www.google.com/";
browser = new ChromiumWebBrowser();
browser.Paint += OnBrowserPaint;
browser.Load(url)
Console.ReadKey();
}
In stepping through the code in the debugger, I set a breakpoint on browser.Load(url). If I examine browser.Paint, I find errors:
Here's the tooltip for DeclaringMethod:
I have no idea if this is related to my event handler not firing, but want to point it out in the event it is involved.
I appreciate your other suggestions but feel I need to find out why an event that should be firing is not.
I'll be happy to reduce and upload the project if it will help. Oh, and thanks for your help!

Background URLSession on watchOS - what is the cycle?

I have a class with the delegates for a URLSession. I intend to use it with a background configuration. I understand that the handlers are called when a certain event happens, such as didFinishDownloadingTo.
However, I do have the handle function on my ExtensionDelegate class:
func handle( _ handleBackgroundTasks:
Set<WKRefreshBackgroundTask>)
// Sent when the system needs to launch the application in the background
to process tasks. Tasks arrive in a set, so loop through and process each one.
for task in handleBackgroundTasks {
switch task {
case let urlSessionTask as WKURLSessionRefreshBackgroundTask:
I wonder: where should I handle the data I receive after a download? At the didFinishDownloadingTo or at that function on my ExtensionDelegate class, on the appropriate case of the switch statement?
Another question on the same cycle: I read everywhere that one must remember to setTaskCompleted() after going through the background tasks. But I read elsewhere that one should not set a task as completed if the scheduled data transfer hasn't finished. How do I check that?
There is a very good explanation here.enter link description here
It worked when I had an array with my WKURLSessionRefreshBackgroundTask. Then, at the end of my didFinishDownloadingTo, I get the task on that array that has the same sessionIdentifier as the current session.configuration.identifier, and set it as complete.
