Apache Beam/Dataflow: Passing in attributes between Transforms - google-cloud-dataflow

Is there a way to pass meta data/attributes between PTransforms? This information is not part of a element, but should be accessible when processing elements. I have a constraint that this information cannot be passed in as a constructor argument.

Why can't it be passed in as a constructor argument?
Is the value unknown until you get to a particular Transform? If so, the you could retrieve it as an additional output, and then input it everywhere it is needed as a side-input by using pvalue.

How do you get the value of a data attribute within an event-based rule in Adobe Dynamic Tag Manager (DTM)?

I have an event-based rule configured to fire on click of an element with a specific class. On click, I would like to capture the value of a data attribute that exists. The DTM documentation says you can capture attribute values using this syntax:
%this.data-event%
or
%this.id%
Example HTML:
On click of links with the class "test", I would like to store the value of "event name" within an eVar. When I used the above syntax however, the syntax is converted to a string and in the Adobe server call as:
v25:%this.data-event%
What is the best way to dynamically grab the value of an attribute of an HTML element on click within DTM?
DTM documentation says you can do that, but in practice I too have found that it doesn't seem to work as advertised most of the time, and will instead populate it with a literal (un-eval'd) string like that.
So what I do instead is under Conditions > Rule Conditions I create a Custom condition. In the Custom condition, I add the following:
// example to get id
_satellite.setVar('this_id',this.id);
// example to get href
_satellite.setVar('this_href',this.href);
return true;
Basically I create on-the-fly data elements using javascript, and then return true (so the condition doesn't affect the rule from triggering).
Then I use %this_id%, %this_href%, etc. syntax from the data element I created, in the Adobe Analytics section variable fields.
The easist way to capture the values of a data attribute against an eVar or prop on the element clicked using DTM is to set the input as the following:
%this.getAttribute(data-attributename)%
For example, if there was a data attribute on an element of data-social-share-destination='facebook' simply input %this.getAttribute(data-social-share-destination)%. This will then capture the value of 'facebook'
More detail on data attributes can be found at http://www.digitalbalance.com.au/our-blog/event-based-tracking-using-html5-custom-data-attributes/
I found a solution. The best way to grab the value of an attribute on click is to use this syntax:
%this.getAttribute(data-title)%
The key is to not use quotes around the attribute name AND ensure the attribute has a value.
If the attribute is missing, the expression is not replaced by an empty string as one would normally expect from experience in other platforms, but instead will display the raw un-interpolated code.

How to update value in angular ui typeahead directive if no matching option is found

I've an array of objects containing title and salary which is used in typeahead directive.
I display department name and get entire object as value.
If none of the options match, I want user entered string to be converted to object still. Is there any way to update that?
This answer is pretty late, but I would just use ng-blur (to trap the end of the users input) along with a variable bound to typeahead-no-results. Then test if the variable is true in the method bound to ng-blur, and, if so, make an object out of the String supplied by the user and push it to your data source. Simple example found here.

Is it possible to call a setter for name in hidden tag in struts2?

In my jsp page I have a form (in struts2) in which I try to assign the size of the ArrayList data to the Vector testVector using hidden tag after submitting the form, but I still get the size of testVector equal to 0.
<s:hidden name="testVector.size" value="%{data.size}" />
I have created setters and getters for data and testVector in my Action class.
private Vector<String> testVector = new Vector<String>();
private ArrayList<String> data = new ArrayList<String>();
private String testName; // a field for testing the form.
// getters and setters of testVector and data
I supposed that this should work because Vector has a public setter setSize(int size).For the other field "testName" it was well submitted.. So am I have a problem in syntax?
Thank you a lot.
You should not be using a Vector. Be aware that OGNL does not work the same from a requests as it does when rendering a JSP for security reasons, it is simply too powerful. You should just set bean properties, collections, arrays and built in types from the request (type converters ignored).
From the request in this case it thinks are are trying to put values into the vector. I think it will create a new string put it into the Vector and then try to set the size of string (which will not work because that method does not exist).
To confirm this I tried to do what you are saying and the log states:
WARNING: Error setting expression 'testVector.size' with value '[Ljava.lang.String;#5c7b2d2f'
ognl.OgnlException: Error converting given String values for Collection. [ognl.NoSuchPropertyException: java.lang.String.size]
If you want this behaviour you will need to create a second method such as setSize() within your action which then goes about modifying the vector size. This I don't think is a very good thing to expose to the outside world, what if someone called your action many times passing in a huge number?

What is the difference between put and add method in statehelper in JSF 2

What is the difference between:
Object put(Serializable key, Object value)
void add(Serializable key, Object value)
methods in StateHelper in JSF?
I found the api documentation not that helpful myself and investigated it. Each time add is called it appends another value to a list which is saved under the given key. If you call a get on that key you get back a list. The add method saves you creating that list and watches for corner cases, ex. creating the list when the key is empty.
The put you mentioned works similar to a map-like put. It saves a value under a key.
In contrast, there is an overloaded put with 3 parameters. It creates a map under that key and does a put on that map with another pair of key/value. Again, a get on the key gives you a map.
Thats basically how add and put work. There is some more going on to make partial states working. To sum it up: when you want to add several values under a key you can use add. put with 2 parameters gives you map-like behavior. put with 3 parameters allows you to fill a map under a key.
From the Mojarra API documentation:
void add(java.io.Serializable key, java.lang.Object value)
Store the specified value in a List that is internal to the
StateHelper.
java.lang.Object put(java.io.Serializable key, java.lang.Object value)
Return the previously stored value and store the specified key/value
pair.
I guess MyFaces implemented it in a similar way.

GWT JSONObject adding an additional incorrect key when converting overlay type to json string

I'm encountering the following problem - I have simple GWT overlay types, and I'm trying to convert one to a JSON string on the client; I'm simply doing:
new JSONObject(this).toString();
The conversion works, but it adds an additional, incorrect key to the json string, such as:
{"key1":"value1", "key2":value2, "$H":1}
where "$H":1 doesn't correspond to anything in my overlay type.
Any idea why this is?
Any help is appreciated on this, thanks.
This issue is define in this link
The $H property comes from the
implementation of
JavaScriptObject#hashCode() (in
com.google.gwt.cire.client.impl.Impl#getHashCode(Object)).
In your case, this is due to
AbstractEditableCell maintaining a map
of value keys to their "view data",
and your use (I guess) of the default
ProvidesKey implementation
(SimpleProvidesKey) which directly
returns the item.
So, when rendering, the EditTextCell
calls getViewData, which looks up the
key in the map (and thus needs the
hashcode of the key, hence the call to
hashCode), and the key is your JSO
(hence the new $H property).
I believe that giving a ProvidesKey
implementation (in you case, returning
the name property for instance) to the
Celltable would solve your issue.
