Access specific extension object data from page code - firefox-addon

I'm trying to build an addon that will observe and collect XHR and image responses received on a page and make them available to page script (on that page) for further inspection.
In my 'http-on-examine-response' observer code, I push URLs I'm interested in, into an array for their associated window, into an object, something like this -
myWindowId = resp.outerWindowID+'-'+resp.currentInnerWindowID;
storedResponses[myWindowId].push(subject.URI.spec);
(I thought that approach may be better than using tab references to identify unique source windows)
The relevant arrays are updated automatically as any page makes a request.
I'd like to be able to query the relevant array from page script or a bookmarklet at any time.
Should I set up port.on..., or postMessage() communication between the page/bookmarklet, content script and extension, or use a pageMod to write the appropriate array directly to an unsafeWindow global object on the relevant page?
I couldn't figure out how to make a pageMod write a specific array to a specific page as soon as the new responses were observed.
Full source is here -
https://builder.addons.mozilla.org/addon/1064905/latest/
I think it's all working, apart from getting the data back on to the page.

With help from Wladimir Palant, I found that XPCNativeWrapper.unwrap() is defined and does what I needed from the SDK module context. It allowed me to set variables directly in a window from my addon.

parsing table from a dynamically changing url source

I want to parse tables spead over many pages from the below url
https://www.marketscreener.com/tools/stock-screener/
However, the page url address dynamically changes on every click (even though the data in the tables remains unchanged). I am not very well versed with recent website/webpage development technologies. I have some experience with requests/lxml.xpath but how do i pass the dynamic url address to 'requests.get' I tried to get the source container from the Network tab in chrome, but that too doesn't seem to work.
Edit_1:
further to #Andrej Kesely comments, basically my desired output is the href data contained in .//table//tbody/td/tr//a href which I can get with routine lxml.xpath function. My real challenge precedes that, it is that the url address keeps dynamically changing. So, I am having trouble passing static url at requests.get level. Hope I am making myself clear.

Using data movement sdk ,want to remove collection from docs in real time in marklogic?

Actually I am new to data movement SDK,I want to know how we can used data movement sdk to remove collection from docs which match's specific condition in real time in marklogic ?
Yes, DMSK can reprocess documents in the database including modifying the collections on the documents.
The most efficient way to change document collections on the server might be to take an approach similar to the out-of-the-box ApplyTransformListener (as summarized by
https://docs.marklogic.com/guide/java/data-movement#id_51555) but to execute a custom module instead of a transform.
Summarizing the main points:
Write an SJS (Server-Side JavaScript) module that declares a variable (using the JavaScript var statement) to receive the document URIs sent by the client and modifies the collections on those documents using a function such as
https://docs.marklogic.com/xdmp.documentSetCollections
Install the SJS module in the modules database as described here
https://docs.marklogic.com/guide/java/resourceservices#id_13008
Create a QueryBatcher to get the document URIs either from a query on the database or from a client iterator as described here:
https://docs.marklogic.com/guide/java/data-movement#id_46947
Supply a lambda function for the QueryBatcher.onUrisReady() method - see
https://docs.marklogic.com/javadoc/client/com/marklogic/client/datamovement/QueryBatcher.html#onUrisReady-com.marklogic.client.datamovement.QueryBatchListener-
In the lambda function, construct and execute a ServerEvaluationCall to the SJS module, assigning the variable to the URIs passed to the lambda function - see:
https://docs.marklogic.com/guide/java/resourceservices#id_84134
Be sure to register failure listeners using the QueryBatcher.onQueryFailure() ApplyTransformListener.onFailure​() methods to log error or otherwise respond to the unexpected.
Hoping that helps,

Where is 's' object cached when using AppMeasurement in DTM

Omniture's basic page tracking function, s.t(), was not crafted for AJAX implementation. Unlike the onclick s.tl() function which has some gating instructions with s.linkTrackVars and s.linkTrackEvents, the s.t() function just perpetuates every cached property through to the next call and beyond.
I used to be able to use a ClearVars function to empty out all of the s object's attributes, but now that I am using AppMeasurement and letting DTM manage my implementation with the most updated version of that library—which I want to keep doing—I can't call the s object. I get the same "ReferenceError: s is not defined" that another person asked about here!.
I tried following Crayon Violent's instructions within that post, but I can't seem to find where DTM is stashing the cached values in between Adobe calls. This code:
window.s = new AppMeasurement();
lets me change/clear the attributes of s, but it's not the s I'm looking for. When I call the next AJAX s.t() function, all of the cached values are still there.
In my experience working with DTM and AA, there has been no end to bugs and caveats and workarounds with DTM's "native integration" of AA. This is why I have more or less decided that the best thing I can do is to either manage the lib myself or else treat AA as a 3rd party script (100% implement it through rules, just ignore that it's available as a tool).
As mentioned in my answer you linked, that line of code only works to expose the AA object in the window namespace if you are managing the library yourself. When you configure DTM to manage the library, it will instantiate AA object itself, and it will be buried within its own code (Honestly, I don't know why DTM did this, considering AA puts a number of other variables in the global namespace that DTM does nothing about).
AFAIK there is no documented way to reference it, but one thing I have found that seems to work for me - which as a disclaimer to cover my own arse I do NOT officially endorse: use at your own risk - is to use the following to get a reference of it:
var s = _satellite.getToolsByType('sc')[0].getS();
This uses getToolsByType method to get an array of the SiteCatalyst (Adobe Analytics) objects setup as tools in DTM. It does this by looping through _satellite.tools and comparing _satellite.tools[n].settings.engine to what you passed to getToolsByType.
Then I use [0] to get the first one in the array, under the assumption that there's only one configured (most people only do one). Then the getS() object pulls together the s object based on the settings in DTM. So from there, you can do things with it, including making use of s.clearVars()

Set the Visitor ID in Adobe Analytics through DTM

I'm trying to set the Visitor ID in Adobe Analytics through DTM.
Above the s_code I have:
var visitor = new Visitor("xxxx")
visitor.trackingServer = "xxx.xx.xx.omtrdc.net"
I've created a data element where the legacy code used to call the
Visitor.getInstance("xxxx");
and set the Visitor ID to %Visitor ID%
That's not working however, and my visitor ID is always just set to %Visitor ID% and obviously not reading any values. I'd really appreciate any input that someone can give me.
Thanks,
Mike
The Visitor ID pops s.visitorID and is in general related to visitor id, but is not the same as s.visitor which is what gets popped for the VisitorAPI integration. DTM does not currently have a built-in field for the s.visitor variable, so you will have to set it yourself within the config, either in the Library Management code editor (assuming you are opting to c/p the core lib and not the "Managed by Adobe" option) or else in the Custom Page Code section.
Since you are popping it in a data layer first, you can reference the data layer like this:
s.visitor = _satellite.getVar('Visitor ID');
NOTE: A separate potential issue you may have is with whether or not the Visitor object is available for your data element. Since data elements are the first thing to be evaluated by DTM, you will need to ensure that the VisitorAPI.js library is output before your top page DTM script include.
If this is a problem for you, or if you are wanting to host VisitorAPI.js within DTM, then you may need to adjust where you are popping that stuff. For example, place the VisitorAPI core code above the custom code as the first stuff within the data element, before:
var visitor = new Visitor("xxxx") visitor.trackingServer = "xxx.xx.xx.omtrdc.net
Or, don't use the data element at all. Instead, put the VisitorAPI code within the Adobe Analytics custom code or core lib section and pop all that stuff (aboove the s.visitor assignment). Or a number of other methods; point is, VisitorAPI stuff must be loaded before the data element can make use of it, same as it must be loaded before Adobe Analytics can make use of it.
So DTM is changing pretty fast and furious right now. They have a "Marketing Cloud Service ID" that works well. Before I used that, however, I did find a way to fix the code. Crayon Violent was right, as usual, that the problem was that the script wasn't available yet. I fixed this by putting the following code in between the VisitorAPI.js and the AppMeasurement stuff in the DTM managed library.
var aA = new AppMeasurement();
aA.visitorNamespace="companyname";
aA.visitor = Visitor.getInstance("companyname");
In addition, there were also some issues using my localhost for testing while trying to see if I had this correct or not. If you are having issues and think you have it correct, it may be worthwhile to elevate it to a different environment.

Response comments added to the wrong parent document

I have a view data source that uses a view key to access documents and show them in a repeat with var "posts". within the repeat I have a document data source with var "post" that gets's the the unid of the documents using posts.getUniversalID().
further down the repeat I have another document data source "newcomment" that is a response and take the parent id as: post.getDocument().getUniversalID()
below the newcomment data source I have an editbox and a submit button which saves the comment as a response to the "post" using newcomment.save()
Here is my problem
two people access the same xpage. personA enters the page and starts writing a comment to a post. in the same time personB creates a new post and submit it before personA submits the comment. What happens now is that the comments gets binded to the latest post and not to the post personA responded to.
I tried anothoher thing also, let's say there is 10 posts in that database. personA and personB access the xpages. personA start writing a comment to post number 8. at the same time personB creates two new posts in the database. when personA now submits the comment it seem to get bind to the same index which is now two posts up. but still index 8. which is ofcourse the wrong post.
If I change the repeat to "createControlsAtPageCreation" ie.e repeatControls=true the comment is attached to the correct post but then I run into another problem that the view is not updated to show the latest posts.
my repeat is wihtin a custom control that is loaded dynamically using the dynamic content control in extlib.
As information here is what I have found about the repeatControls settings
Setting the repeatControls property to true instructs the repeat control to create a new copy of its children for each iteration over the dataset.
When the Repeat control is configured with the property
repeatControls=“true” , it repeats its contents only once, at page load time
So my question here is that I do not understand what is going on. why is my comment attached to the wrong parent document? and is there a way I can prevent this and still have new posts displayed correctly
thanks for your help
Without the code it's a bit hard to imagine what exactly is going one here but this looks very similar to problem that I had with repeat control and value binding.
Long story short the problem was connecet to repeatControls property set to false. When it was like that data binding were working only for first element in collection - all data was somehow magically saved to this first object! I managed to get this working by using combination of dynamic content control rebuild and repeatControls set to true. Only then databindings were working property.
It seems like if You are repeating rendering only (and this is what repeatControls set to false do) the decoding phase of jsf lifecycle goes foobar.
Without your XSP markup, it's difficult to be absolutely definitive but it appears that you're app code is creating and persisting the datasources and components per row during page load - therefore increasing the overall size and complexity of the component tree also. You should alternatively try an approach that will lazy-load the datasource only when requested by the end-user (eg: edit / reply).
Refer to the XPages Extension Library demo application (XPagesExt.nsf) for examples that use such a dynamic approach. In particular, look at Core_InPlaceForm.xsp which demonstrates using the xe:inPlaceForm control within a xp:repeat. And also see Domino_ForumView.xsp which demonstrates using the xe:forumView and xe:forumPost controls to manage and visualize a hierarchical thread. Also consider the concurrency mode that best suits your requirements when it actually comes to saving any given post or comment (fail, createConflict, force, exception) and document locking for high contention situations. The above-mentioned controls all provide the highest level of dynamic control and datasource creation and destruction.
Please feel free to send me on a worked example database, where I can understand your exact use case - DM me or email me.
