jQuery Select Option from Json

jQuery select option population using json as data source

jQuery select option tutorial will show how you can glue together the following terms together

select box
JSON
jQuery
*Javascript

* You might ask isn’t jQuery javascript? Yes indeed you are right, but jQuery is a framework making javascript programming a lot easier.

When I say plain javascript, or as some are calling it old school javascript, I meant to use the same task without using jQuery.

What select box is and types of select box options

Select box is one of the most used HTML element along with text input, radio option and the like.

Select box will allow you to provide dropdown options where you can select one or more items from it. You can make the select box to allow multiple selection using multiple attribute

Passing composite object parameter to jersey in Restful Java web

How to pass complex object parameter to jersey

In this tutorial, I will try to show how to pass composite object as a parameter to jersey’s endpoint java application.

It seems like you are working on RESTful API based java application. In that case, chances are high that you are working with jersey.

If you are not familiar with jersey, jersey is an implementation of JAX-RS APIs. Hence, it is a seamless framework by which API based java projects can be implemented.

As of this writing, the current version of jersey is 2.23.

J2EE Maven Eclipse Hello World Tutorial Part Two

Hello World Beginner Tutorial using J2EE and Maven

This is part two of J2EE application with maven continued from Part One.

If you haven’t accomplished J2EE with Maven tutorial, please first complete it by going here

Maven relies highly on the pom.xml file that we would put on the project root folder. Lets do that.

In this part of J2EE tutorial and Maven tutorial, we will proceed from creating a pom.xml file which is the heart of maven.

3 Create the pom and compile the project using maven.

3.a put the following pom file in the MavenEclipseJ2EE directory.

Java solution for checking anagram strings – tell if phrases are anagrams

Anagram Algorithm in Java solving if two strings are anagrams or not

This is the java solution for checking if the given two strings are anagrams or not. For the examples of anagrams and the approach I used and analysis of the code, see analysis of anagram algorithm

Find missing numbers from billion number lists with limited memory

Anagram algorithm in Java solution


package algorithm;

import java.util.Arrays;

/**
 * Determine if the given two strings are anagrams or not 
 * A solution in java programming language
 * @author https://gullele.com
 * 
 * Analysis - this would run in o(nlogn) for the sorting part and all other others would be in o(n)
 * Hence it is o(nlogn) + o(n) ==> o(nlogn) assuming worst case sorting.
 */
public class Anagram implements AnagramFinder {

	public static void main(String string[]) {
		String string1 = "Debit Card ";
		String string2 = "bad credit";
		
		AnagramFinder anagramFinder = new Anagram();
		if (anagramFinder.areAnagrams(string1, string2)) {
			System.out.println("Anagrams");
		} else {
			System.out.println("Not Anagrams");
		}
	}
	
	public Anagram() {
		
	}
	
	@Override
	/**
	 * Verify if the given words are anagrams or not
	 */
	public boolean areAnagrams(String s1, String s2) {
		if (s1 == null || s2 == null) { //I don't think we would assume null is anagram at all..
			return false;
		}
		
		//get rid of the spaces 
		s1 = s1.replaceAll("\\s+", "").toLowerCase();
		s2 = s2.replaceAll("\\s+", "").toLowerCase();
		
		//no need to proceed if the length is not the same. assumed the anagrams are the same in length
		if (s1.length() != s2.length()) {
			return false;
		}
		
		//then order the string in characters
		char[] ordereds1 = sortChars(createCharArray(s1)); //o(nlogn)
 	 	char[] ordereds2 = sortChars(createCharArray(s2)); //o(nlogn)
		
 	 	//first thing first, if the size is not the same, then we are done
 	 	int index = 0;
 	 	while (index < ordereds1.length) { //this would run o(n)
 	 		if (ordereds1[index] != ordereds2[index]) {
 	 			return false;
 	 		}
 	 		index++;
 	 	}
 	 	
		return true;
	}
	
	/**
	 * Takes the string and converts it to characters
	 * @param string
	 * @return
	 */
	private char[] createCharArray(String string) {
		return new char[string.length()];
	}
	
	/**
	 * if I have to implement it I can use quick sort and make it at least n(logn)
	 * @param chars
	 * @return array
	 */
	private char[] sortChars(char[] chars) {
		Arrays.sort(chars);
		return chars;
	}
}

The above anagram algorithm solution is in java but it can be performed in any programming language.

Check if two strings are anagrams or not

Are the two strings or phrases anagrams or not algorithm

First thing first, What is anagram?

Anagrams are phrases/words of which one can be created from the other with rearrangement of characters.

Examples of anagram strings:

Debit card and bad credit
George Bush and He Bugs Gore

Now, given two strings, how would do find if the strings are anagrams or not.

The approach I used is a follows:

1. remove the space out of the strings
2. compare the length of strings, if they don’t match, they ain’t anagrams
3. sort the characters of each string
4. check character by character and see if they match till the end

This is approach I used with o(nlogn) because of the sorting part. All the others can be done in o(n)

No Persistence provider for EntityManager named Hibernate error

No Persistence provider for EntityManager named

If you are working on hibernate, then there are two ways to provide the configuration to it. Either you would be using hibernate.cfg.xml or persistence.xml

In both cases, hibernate would be using the information like the connection string information and classes associated with tables.

If you are using persistence.xml and you are getting No Persistence provider for EntityManager named error, then there the following would be an issue and here is how you solve those.

Finding missing numbers from billion sequential number list file

You are given a billion numbers but some are missing

This is interesting algorithm question. With my first attempt I have tried it with o(n**2) which needs improvement of course.

Do you know how to find complementary numbers in given array?

The question in detail

You are given a randomly listed billion numbers, from 1 to billion that is. And there are a couple of numbers missing from this list.

The task is to find those missing numbers from a billion list, and you are given a very limited memory resource – you can assume storage is not an issue.

How I proceed with this solution

Java Tomcat error: can not access a member of class with modifiers

Class org.apache.catalina.core.DefaultInstanceManager can not access a member of class with modifiers “” sun.reflect.Reflection.ensureMemberAccess(Reflection.java:102)

If you are on tomcat/or anyother webserver for J2EE and getting this error, then the most probable servlet you have would look like this


package package;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

class MyServletClass extends HttpServlet {
...
...
...
}

The fix:

You have missed the class modifier public

public class MyServletClass

Should solve the problem

pass all the jars in classpath when compiling java

How to pass multiple jar files while using javac – compiling java classes

If you have single jar file, you can pass as: lets assume you are compiling file.java

javac path/to/file.java -classpath "path/to/jar/file.jar" -d classpath

But how about if you have multiple jar files to be included in the class path?

If you are on windows you can list the jar files separated by semi colon(;) and in unix you can pass with colon(:)

javac path/to/java/file.java -classpath "file1.jar:file2.jar:dir/*"

The last example is for unix environment but you can apply it to windows with proper path and semicolon

Search and replace in vim

Find and replace text strings in vim file

It is one of the most frequent task you might do while working on vim.

Here are some of the most used ones

1. Find and search a single string and replace the first occurrence only
:s/search/replace/g

The above code would search for “search” and replaces it with “replace” and it would do it only once

2. Find all occurrences of the string and replace those
:%s/search/replace/g

In this case all strings in the file with “search” would be replaced by “replace”

3. Find and ask for confirmation before changing it
:%s/search/replace/gc

It would do the usual task but this time it would ask for confirmation before it changes it.

You can do search and replace in vi or vim using the above command being on vim. Don’t forget to be out of the update mode otherwise you would just be writing the above commands.
