I will start off by saying I am new to wcf and rest. Here is the situation I have created a wcf service, the service returns an object(person) that contains fields and a collection of order objects. When I create an instance, the object and the collection of orders gets populated as expected
When I call the same service via rest call returning json see below, the code fails. if i remove the code where the object is populated, it works. the json shows and empty set of orders.
<OperationContract()> _
<WebGet(UriTemplate:="GetPerson/{user}", ResponseFormat:=WebMessageFormat.Json)> _
Function GetPerson(ByVal User As String) As Budget
The line that fails looks like this
lobjPerson.OrderList.Add(order)
Order list has been instantiated, and works, but not when called via rest call returning json
The error i get in the browser is "the error is kcferrorDomainWinsock:10054". If i look at with web inspector I can't seem to see an error. Hopefully this rings a bell for someone.
I fixed my problem from switching from arraylist to list(of t) for my collections. I am still pondering why this worked, can anyone explain this?. Second question remaining is how do you debug rest calls to wcf? anyone?

I refer to the document https://developers.google.com/calendar/v3/reference/events/insert to call the insert method, but there is an error insufficientPermissions. I want to know what the general situation is, and I can use gapi.client.calendar.events.list() method to get the result normally.
You are probably using one of the Calendar API Quickstarts which is why calls to events.list works but events.insert doesn't. You need to change the scope to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar because that is required for events.insert.
Also don't forget to delete the previously saved credentials when adding the new scope.
After creating a model and adding it to a repository I want to have the new ID for different purposes (creating a mail, updating other fields outside the Extbase world)
$page = t3lib_div::makeInstance('Tx_MyExt_Domain_Model_Page');
$page->setTitle('Hello World');
$this->pageRepository->add($page);
At this point $page hasn't got an ID yet, uid is null.
$page->getUid(); // returns null
When does it get it? And how can I retrieve in on runtime?
In ExtBase, objects are "managed". This means every persistence transaction (add/remove/update) is simply noted in the underlying logic, but not yet executed until the appropriate time (like the end of processing a request). So, just because you add an object to a repository doesn't mean that it's actually added yet. That actually happens once $persistenceManager->persistAll() is called, which isn't something you need to do manually, ever. The point is, your $page object won't have a UID until it's saved and that's why $page->getUid() returns null. Look here for a great explanation.
I suspect that you are trying to do something outside of the ExtBase object/MVC lifecycle. At least, last time I got null when I tried to get the UID of an object, it was because I wasn't operating within the framework appropriately.
However, if you post some more code and give us a bigger picture of what you're trying to achieve, maybe we can help you get to a point where that object actually has a UID. For instance, if you're in a Controller object, tell us which Action method you're in, or if you're in a Repository object, tell us what you're trying to get from the repository and where/how you plan on using the query results.
EDIT
Just guessing here, but I'm assuming you're executing this code in some action of a controller. Since after the controller is executed a view is rendered, you can just pass the page object to the view:
$this->view->assign('page', $page);
And then in your view you can use the page object in a link:
<f:link.action action="show" arguments="{page:page}">
See this page object
</f:link.action>
And then in the show action of your controller you can show the page:
public function showAction(Tx_MyExt_Domain_Model_Page $page) {
// Do whatever you need to show the page in the `Show.html` template
}
I really am just guessing here. If you can give us a larger picture of what you're trying to do, what your action methods are supposed to do and things like that, we can answer your question a little more confidently.
(I'm also assuming that your page object isn't a replacement for the regular TYPO3 pages and that they are something totally different. It's much easier to deal with those TYPO3 pages through the backend interface than at the php level.)
You can call persistence manager explicitly in Your controller like this
#TYPO3 4.x
$persistenceManager = $this->objectManager->create('Tx_Extbase_Persistence_Manager');
$persistenceManager->persistAll();
#TYPO3 6.x
$persistenceManager = \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstance('TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Persistence\Generic\PersistenceManager');
$persistenceManager->persistAll();
Currently in the ASP.NET application I'm developing, basic validations (ie required fields) are being done in the Presentation Layer, using Validators and a ValidationSummary. This is working great for me specifically since the ValidationSummary will display multiple error messages (assuming multiple Validators are set to invalid).
I also have some validations being done in the business layer - due to their complexity (and data service layer reliance) I'd rather not keep them in the presentation layer. However, I'm not sure the best way to send these back to the presentation layer for display to the user. My initial consideration is to send back a List<string> with failed validation messages and then dynamically create a CustomValidator control (since apparently you can only bind one error message to one Validator control) for each error to show in the ValidationSummary when there are any.
I'm assuming I'm not the first one to come across this issue, so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on this.
Thanks!
There are essentially two ways to do this: either by passing back an error code/object from your business layer, or throw out an exception. You can also combine both.
For an example, you can take a look SqlException class. When you send a SQL to SQL Server, it runs a query parser to parse your SQL first. If it sees syntax error, then it will throw out a SqlException and terminate the query. There may be multiple syntax errors in your query. So SqlExeption class has an Errors property that contains a list of errors. You can then enumerate through that list in your presentation layer to format your error message, probably with a CustomValidator.
You can also simply just return the error list without throwing an exception. For example, you can have your function to return a List in case at least one error occurred and return null in case the call was successful. Or you can pass List as an argument into your function. They are all fine, it all depends on which way you feel is more convenient. The advantage of throwing out an exception is it unwinds multiple call frames immediately, so you don’t have to check return value on every level. For example, if function A calls function B , B calls function C, C sees something wrong, then if let C to return an error object (or error code), then B has to have code to check whether C returned an error and pass that error code/value back, A have to check it as well ---- you need to check it on every level. On the other hand, if you just let C to throw an exception, then the code goes straight to the exception handler. You don’t have check return values on every level.
I have followed this tutorial for the most part to explain what I am doing. http://www.asp.net/data-access/tutorials/creating-a-business-logic-layer-vb
What i need to do is figure out the best way to approach to be able to update my formview. I do not understand what the tutorial is trying to explain to me so i tried it the way i have updated a gridview before. But I am receiving "No parameterless constructor defined for this object." I tried to debug and view the callstack but it does not really tell me much.
I have my sql stored procedure to update which when executed works fine.
I also have another class in which i reference the application details class
applicant.vb
This is the code in order for when you click the view details link on the gridview it passes you off to another page that shows that applicants details it is within the same applicant.vb class
I am trying to update using the following method on the .aspx page but i receive the following error "No parameterless constructor defined for this object."
Memberdetails.aspx
Without knowing which line of code is causing that error, I can't say for sure, however, my guess is that your error is on this line of code.
_applicantadapter = New applicantTableAdapter
Put an open parentheses after applicantTableAdapter to see the different constructor signatures available to you for that type. I bet you'll see none of the options allow no parameters.
That error means that the object type you are trying to instantiate requires that you include parameter(s) (and you are not).
I am using methods with the Attribute [WebMethod] in my aspx pages. I don't use any asp.net ajax but jQuery to call these methods and return objects in JSON. This all works fine.
Next I added an authorization check inside the webMethod, if the current user doesn't have access to the feature I need to let the calling JavaScript know.
So I am throwing an AccessViolationException exception which can then be parsed by the OnError callback function in JavaScript. This works too but the exception includes the full StackTrace and I don't want to make this available to the calling client.
What other ways I could use to return an "Access Denied" to the client when the WebMethod returns a business object?
I'm using ASP.Net 3.5SP1 and jQuery 1.32
You can also add a:
customErrors mode="On"/
in your web.config, this will cut away the stack trace and leave you only the exception message
Why propagate errors through the wire? why not use an error response ?
Just wrap your object in a response object wich can contain an error code for status and an error message to present to users.
As suggested by NunFur I changed my approach and rather than throwing an error, I return a 'richer' object.
There are at least two options, the first one would be to encapsulate my business object into a response object with some status properties. I tried this but it makes the JSON more complicated.
So rather than adding a new object I added two properties to my business object, something like ServiceStatus and ServiceMessage. By default these are 200 and '', but can be set by the WebMethod code if anything goes wrong (no access, proper error). In this case they business object will be 'empty' (no data). The JavaScript code then first checks for the ServiceStatus and reacts appropriately.
I add the two fields to all my objects that are returned by WebMethods, even a simple string. They have to implement an Interface with those two properties.
Now I have complete control over that goes over the wire in case something unexpected is happening.
Thanks for the input
I save exceptions for when things go really wrong. (e.g. can't connect to the database)
Either return nothing (null/nill/whatever), or return a false bool value.
Sorry that I don't have a better answer than that...I'll have to keep looking myself.
You could look at SoapException: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.services.protocols.soapexception(VS.71).aspx
I'm just not sure, if it will work when it is called from JavaScript. Espeially if it's called with a get-request.
BTW AccessViolationException is to my best knowlegde ment to be thrown when the application is accessing memory it has no access to.
