cups4J printing multiple copies - printing

i have the following code:
FileInputStream fis =
new FileInputStream("C:/test.pdf");
//PrintJob.Builder test = new PrintJob.Builder(fis);
//test.duplex(true);
//test.build();
Map <String,String> newMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
newMap.put("job-attributes", "sides:keyword:two-sided-short-edge#copies:2");
PrintJob pj = new PrintJob.Builder(fis).jobName("testJob").copies(2).attributes(newMap).build();
cp.print(pj);
The issues i have is even though i have set copies to (2) it only prints it out once....
anything i have done wrong?

copies:2 in the job-attributes is incorrect. You need to code:
copies:integer:2
Somehow, the incorrect job-attributes entry causes the...
.copies(2)
..on the Builder to be ignored.
I was able to reproduce that on my system using the older(!) de.spqr-info cups4j v1.1 from 2016 (not the current v0.7.6 org.cups4j).
But beware: if the job-attributes value is correct, the value from the Builder will be used (even if you didn't specify it! It defaults in that case to 1)
The only way to use the value from the job-attributes is to explicitly code .copies(n) (where n <= 0) on the Builder.

How to convert raw String with a FIX message to QuickFIX/J Message object

What is the recommended way to convert a raw String, with one FIX message, to one QuickFIX/J Message object of the appropriate type, like one quickfix.fix44.ExecutionReport object?
I only have to deal with the FIX 4.4 version.
I found two options at this thread on Quickfixj-users mailing list.
I adapted these options to my situation and I was able to convert the message successfully in two different ways.
Example of a FIX message:
8=FIX.4.49=11035=834=749=EXEC52=20211014-19:39:25.75856=BANZAI6=011=114=10017=137=139=154=155=IBM150=2151=40010=237
I'd like to know which of the options below is better or if both are wrong and there's a better way.
Thanks in advance.
1 Option
quickfix.Message rawMessage = new quickfix.Message(rawMessageString);
// Example of MsgType = 8
MsgType msgType = new MsgType();
rawMessage.getHeader().getField(msgType);
MessageFactory messageFactory = new DefaultMessageFactory(ApplVerID.FIX44);
quickfix.Message message = messageFactory.create("FIX.4.4", msgType.getValue());
message.fromString(messageString, null, false, true);
// message.getName() = quickfix.fix44.ExecutionReport
System.out.println(message.getName() = " + message.getClass().getName());
2 Option
MessageFactory messageFactory = new DefaultMessageFactory(ApplVerID.FIX44);
quickfix.Message messageFromMessageUtils = quickfix.MessageUtils.parse(messageFactory, null, rawMessageString);
// message.getName() = quickfix.fix44.ExecutionReport
System.out.println(message.getName() = " + message.getClass().getName());
Data Dictionary
In the above tests, I didn't use a Data Dictionary, but in my real application I'll use one.
What I especially dislike about option 1 is that you need to construct two messages. One for the extraction of the MsgType and afterwards the actual message. Seems unnecessary to me.
If you are only using FIX4.4 I would go for the second option because it does all the magic for you, i.e. extracts the needed things like BeginString and MsgType from the raw String.
Downside: it will only work up to and including FIX4.4 since MessageUtils.parse() does only consider the BeginString (not the ApplVerID).
However, this should be no problem for your use case.
P.S.: If you ever need to parse messages for FIX5.0 and upwards, use the following (which is basically option 1 but without constructing a message to get the MsgType):
String msgType = MessageUtils.getMessageType(rawMessageString);
MessageFactory messageFactory = new DefaultMessageFactory(ApplVerID.FIX50); // FIX5.0 for example
quickfix.Message message = messageFactory.create("FIXT.1.1", ApplVerID.FIX50, msgType);
message.fromString(rawMessageString, dd, false, true);
P.P.S.: Not of interest for your use case but for the sake of completeness: you could also use one of the quickfix.Message(String) constructors but that would not return you a message of the correct type. Just a general quickfix.Message.

Assigning Value to StringValue In F#

I am working though this example of the Open XML SDK using F#
When I get to this line of code
sheet.Id = spreadsheetDocument.WorkbookPart.GetIdOfPart(worksheetPart)
I am getting a null ref exception when I implement it like this:
sheet.Id.Value <- document.WorkbookPart.GetIdOfPart(worksheetPart)
Is there another way to assign that value? System.Reflection?
I got it working like this:
let sheet = new Sheet
(
Id = new StringValue(spreadsheetDocument.WorkbookPart.GetIdOfPart(worksheetPart)),
SheetId = UInt32Value.FromUInt32(1u),
Name = new StringValue("mySheet")
)
If You want to take a look to the entire sample translated to F#, it's here.
To clarify what's going on, the problem is that sheet.Id is initially null. If we look at the following:
sheet.Id.Value <- document.WorkbookPart.GetIdOfPart(worksheetPart)
The code tries to access the sheet.Id and invoke its Value property setter, but the Id itself is null. The answer posted by Grzegorz sets the value of the whole Id property - it's done in a construtor syntax, but it's equivalent to writing the following:
sheet.Id <- new StringValue(spreadsheetDocument.WorkbookPart.GetIdOfPart(worksheetPart))
This sets the whole Id property to a new StringValue instance.

Open a libreoffice mail merged textdocument directly with swriter

I need help with opening the result of my mail merge operations directly in an new writer document.
Object mailMergeService = mcf.createInstanceWithContext(mailMergePackage, context);
XPropertySet mmProperties = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XPropertySet.class, mailMergeService);
mmProperties.setPropertyValue("DocumentURL", templatePath);
mmProperties.setPropertyValue("DataSourceName", dbName);
mmProperties.setPropertyValue("CommandType", mmCommandType);
mmProperties.setPropertyValue("Command", mmCommand);
mmProperties.setPropertyValue("OutputType", mmOutputType);
// mmProperties.setPropertyValue("OutputURL", templateDirectory);
// mmProperties.setPropertyValue("FileNamePrefix", mmFileNamePrefix);
// mmProperties.setPropertyValue("SaveAsSingleFile", mmSaveAsSingleFile);
The mmOutputType is set as MailMergeType.SHELL
The LibreOffice API documentation says
"The output is a document shell.
The successful mail marge returns a XTextDocument based component."
So I've tried something like this
XJob job = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XJob.class, mailMergeService);
Object mergedTextObject = job.execute(new NamedValue[0]);
String url = "private:factory/swriter";
loader.loadComponentFromURL(url, "_blank", 0, new PropertyValue[0]);
XTextDocument mergedText = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextDocument.class, mergedTextObject);
XTextCursor cursor = mergedText.getText().createTextCursor();
cursor.setString(mergedText.getText().getString());
I guess I have to pass the XTextDocument component to the url-argument of the loadComponentFromURL method but I didnt find the right way to do that.
When I change the OutputType to MailMergeType.FILE the result is generated in a given directory and I can open the file and see that the mail merge succeeded. But this is not what my application should do.
Does someone know how I can open the result of the mail merge directly in an new writer document without saving the result to the hard drive?

Hey guys I've found a simple way to open the result of my mail merge process directly.
The relevant snippets are these
XJob job = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XJob.class, mailMergeService);
Object mergedTextObject = job.execute(new NamedValue[0]);
XTextDocument mergedText = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextDocument.class, mergedTextObject);
mergedText.getCurrentController().getFrame().getContainerWindow().setVisible(true);
The last line of code made the window appear with the filled mail merge result.
I also don't need this line anymore
loader.loadComponentFromURL("private:factory/swriter", "_blank", 0, new PropertyValue[0]);
The document opens as a new instance of a swriter document. If you want to save the result as a file you can do this
mergedText.getCurrentController().getFrame().getContainerWindow().setVisible(true);
XStorable storeMM = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XStorable.class, mergedText);
XModel modelMM = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XModel.class, mergedText);
storeMM.storeAsURL(outputDirectory + outputFilename, modelMM.getArgs());
Sincerly

What version of LO are you using? The SHELL constant has only been around since LO 4.4, and it is not supported by Apache OpenOffice yet, so it could be that it isn't fully implemented. However this code seems to show a working test.
If it is returning an XTextDocument, then normally I would assume the component is already open. However it sounds like you are not seeing a Writer window appear. Did you start LO in headless mode? If not, then maybe the process needs a few seconds before it can display.
Object mergedTextObject = job.execute(new NamedValue[0]);
Thread.sleep(10000);
Anyway to me it looks like your code has a mistake in it. These two lines would simply insert the text onto itself:
XTextCursor cursor = mergedText.getText().createTextCursor();
cursor.setString(mergedText.getText().getString());
Probably you intended to write something like this instead:
XTextDocument mergedText = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextDocument.class, mergedTextObject);
String url = "private:factory/swriter";
XComponent xComponent = loader.loadComponentFromURL(url, "_blank", 0, new PropertyValue[0]);
XTextDocument xTextDocument = (XTextDocument)UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTextDocument.class, xComponent);
XText xText = (XText)xTextDocument.getText();
XTextRange xTextRange = xText.getEnd();
xTextRange.setString(mergedText.getText().getString());
One more thought: getString() might just return an empty string if the entire document is in a table. If that is the case then you could use the view cursor or enumerate text content.
EDIT:
To preserve formatting including tables, you can do something like this (adapted from https://blog.oio.de/2010/10/27/copy-and-paste-without-clipboard-using-openoffice-org-api/):
// Select all.
XController xMergedTextController = mergedText.getCurrentController();
XTextViewCursorSupplier supTextViewCursor =
(XTextViewCursorSupplier) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XTextViewCursorSupplier.class, xMergedTextController);
XTextViewCursor oVC = supTextViewCursor.getViewCursor();
oVC.gotoStart(False) // This would not work if your document began with a table.
oVC.gotoEnd(True)
// Copy and paste.
XTransferableSupplier xTransferableSupplier = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTransferableSupplier.class, xMergedTextController);
XTransferable transferable = xTransferableSupplier.getTransferable();
XController xController = xComponent.getCurrentController();
XTransferableSupplier xTransferableSupplier_newDoc = UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XTransferableSupplier.class, xController);
xTransferableSupplier_newDoc.insertTransferable(transferable);

How to get the Layout value of razor files?

I'm doing some custom infrastructure for auto-generating specific bundles for individual views, and have a case where I need to get the Layout value for each view while iterating them as files.
I've tried var view = new RazorView(new ControllerContext(), actionView.FullName, null, true, null); but this is taking the LayoutPath as an input, and it is indeed resulting in an empty string on the LayoutPath property of the RazorView if I give null for that parameter, so it's not parsing the file for the value.
Could there be any other way to solve this in a similar manner, or would my best/only option be to just parse the text of the raw file (and _ViewStart)?
This is only done once at application start, so the performance is currently not an issue.
Alright, after a lot of source debugging and an epic battle with the internal access modifier, I have a working solution without having to render the whole page. I don't expect anyone else ever having the need for this, but anyway:
var httpContext = new HttpContextWrapper(new HttpContext(new HttpRequest("", "http://dummyurl", ""), new HttpResponse(new StreamWriter(new MemoryStream()))));
var page = Activator.CreateInstance(BuildManager.GetCompiledType(ReverseMapPath(actionView.FullName))) as WebViewPage;
page.Context = httpContext;
page.PushContext(new WebPageContext(), new StreamWriter(new MemoryStream()));
page.Execute();
var layoutFileFullName = page.Layout;
// If page does not have a Layout defined, search for _ViewStart
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(layoutFileFullName))
{
page.VirtualPath = ReverseMapPath(actionView.FullName);
var startpage = StartPage.GetStartPage(page, "_ViewStart", new string[] {"cshtml"});
startpage.Execute();
layoutFileFullName = startpage.Layout;
}
Tada!
Ps. ReverseMapPath is a any arbitrary function to resolve the relative path of a full file name, see for example Getting relative virtual path from physical path

Deedle - create empty list and series

I am new to F#, looking at it as an alternative to Matlab.
In reference to this question, how can I create an empty Serie and an empty Frame.
If I did not just miss it, why an empty Serie or Frame has not been designed in the library,
something like list.empty ?
Adding Frame.empty and Series.empty is a great suggestion. I think these should be in the library and I'm adding an issue to GitHub to make sure they get added.
In the meantime, you should be able to use something like this:
let empty : Series<int, float> = series []
let empty : Frame<int, string> = frame []
Note that I had to add type annotations - from my code snippet, the compiler cannot figure out what is the type of keys and values, so I had to explicitly specify that (but if you use the values as arguments to other functions, then this should not be needed).
The second line does not actually work in the current version, because of a bug (oops!) so you can use Frame.ofRows instead, which works fine:
let frame : Frame<int, string> = Frame.ofRows []
EDIT: The bug is now fixed in version 0.9.11-beta
