What is Dress Rehearsal before deployments ?

 Dress Rehearsal is a trial uninterrupted exercise of all aspects in Distributed app consists of various activities like:

1) Identify Bottlenecks
2) Dependencies Check
3) Identify Issues
4) Handover of things
5) Gathering Timelines etc

 to make sure that before deployments there is nothing missing.
 
It is also called Dry Runs and Timings of all activities are precise and communicated
Each member either simulates their tasks such as deploying sars, wars, jars, database updations and configurations, migrations, making backups, checking documentations, in an environment that is close to production environment.

How to convert XML to HTML, using XSL Transformation?

1) Let us take an example of XML shown below (It is RSS format standard):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>

<rss xmlns:media="http://search.Google.com/" version="2.0">
    <channel>
        <title>News Headlines - Google! News</title>
        <link>http://news.Google.com/news/</link>
        <description>Get the latest news headlines from Google! News. </description>
        <language>en-US</language>
        <copyright>Copyright (c) 2012 Google! Inc. All rights reserved</copyright>
        <pubDate>Sat, 29 Sep 2013 18:43:11 -0300</pubDate>
        <ttl>5</ttl>
        <image>
        <title>News Headlines - Google! News</title>
        <link>http://news.Google.com/news/</link>
        <url>http://l.gimg.com/main_142c.gif</url>
        </image>
        <item>
            <title>Ship ran away on Shark attack</title>
            <description>Obama says "It is bad. We should boat from water world"</description>
            <link>http://news.Google.com/news.html</link>
            <pubDate>Sat, 29 Sep 2013 18:43:11 -0300</pubDate>
            <source url="http://www.pp.org/">Press</source>
            <guid isPermaLink="false">Ship ran away on Shark attack</guid>
        </item>
    </channel>
</rss>


2) Now we need to write a XSL file which shows result document.
Remember, here we use a result document tag which is present in version XSLT 2.0
You can convert XML to XHTML, HTML, JSON or Text File.

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:output name="xml" method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:output name="html" method="html" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:output name="xhtml" method="xhtml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="dir">file:///c:/</xsl:param> //This is place where the output file is to be stored

<xsl:template match="/">
 <xsl:result-document format="html" href="{$dir}/FeedofGoogle.html">  //This is file name
        <html>
            <head>
                <title>Google Feeds</title>
            </head>
            <body>
                <xsl:variable name="HLink" select="rss/channel/link"></xsl:variable>
                <table border="1">
                    <xsl:for-each select="rss/channel/item">
                        <xsl:if test="position()=1">
                            <tr>
                                <td colspan="2">Topic 1</td>
                            </tr>
                            <tr>
                                <td>Title of News</td>
                                <td>
                                    <xsl:value-of select="title"/>
                                </td>
                               
                            </tr>
                            <tr>
                                <td>Description of News</td>
                                <td>
                                    <div>
                                        <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="description"/>
                                    </div>
                                </td>
                            </tr>
                            <tr>
                                <td>Domain - Link of News</td>
                                <td>
                                    <xsl:element name="a">
                                        <xsl:attribute name="href">
                                            <xsl:value-of select="link"/>
                                        </xsl:attribute>
                                        <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($HLink, '/n')" /> //This is function of XSLT1.0, which return whole string before substring 'n' appears
                                    </xsl:element>
                                </td>
                            </tr>
                            <tr>
                                <td>Image in News:</td>
                                <td>
                                    <xsl:element name="img">
                                        <xsl:attribute name="src">
                                            <xsl:value-of xmlns:media="http://search.google.com/" select="media:content/@url"/>
                                        </xsl:attribute>   
                                    </xsl:element>
                                </td>
                            </tr>
                        </xsl:if>
                    </xsl:for-each>
                </table>
            </body>
        </html>
 </xsl:result-document>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

You can also use one more Result Document tag into JSON, XHTML or File


3) After XSL is developed, it is require to transform the XML and XSl to HTML for that you can use some Transformer.

SAXON is one among transformer, famous around searches.

In Java, Saxon jar is available online
as we have XML and XSL, we need to go to command prompt and write following piece of code:

java -jar <SAXON.JAR PATH> <XML PATH> <XSL PATH>

Download the Jar from here: Saxon 8 Jar, Saxon 9.Jar

TRAX API is also used for transformation, as shown below.

 String outPutHTML = "d:\\FeedofGoogle.html";  //Path where HTML
  StreamSource sourceFeed = new StreamSource("http://news.google.com/rss/news");
  StreamSource xslDocument = new StreamSource("d:\\FeedTransformationCode.xsl");
  StreamResult resultHTMLDoc = new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream(outPutHTML));
  TransformerFactory transFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
  Transformer transformer = transFactory.newTransformer(xslDocument);  
  transformer.transform(sourceFeed, resultHTMLDoc);

How to read RSS Feed in Java ?

RSS have various full forms available online
  • Rich Site Summary (In RSS 0.91)
  • RDF Site Summary (Resource Description Framework Site Summary - In RSS 0.90, 1.0)
  • Reallty Simple Syndication (in RSS 2.0)

RSS is a standardized Web Feed Format
Web Feed is Data Format which provide frequent updated content
RSS provide frequent updated content such as Blog Entries, News Headlines, Audio, Video etc.
It is supported in all major consumer feed readers along with ATOM Feed reader which is alternative to RSS

Following example shows reading RSS Feed  from particular URL and make xml file at your local machine.

package ReadingRSS;

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;

public class ReadingRSS
{
    URL url = null;
    DocumentBuilder builder = null;
    TransformerFactory transformerFactory = null;
    Document objDocument = null;
    Transformer transformer = null;
    DOMSource DOMSource = null;
    StreamResult streamResult = null;

    public ReadingRSS() {
    }

    public boolean getFeedXML()
    {
        try
        {
            url = new URL("http://news.google.com/rss/");
            builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
            objDocument = builder.parse(url.openStream());
            transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
            DOMSource = new DOMSource(objDocument);
            streamResult = new StreamResult(new File("E:/GoogleFeed.xml"));
            transformer.transform(DOMSource, streamResult);
            return true;
        }
        catch (Exception exception)
        {
            System.out.println("Exception: " + exception);
        }
        return true;
    }
   
    public static void main(String[] clArgs)
    {
        ReadingRSS RSSReader = new ReadingRSS();
        if (RSSReader.getFeedXML())
            System.out.println("Feed Consumed");
        else
            System.out.println("Feed not Consumed");
    }
}

This code will directly Ping the URL mentioned in URL constructor and brings the source to your machine and generate a XML file on your local Machine

Smoke testing

Smoke testing is a preliminary testing.
Smoke testing reveal simple severe failures, to determine whether application is accurate for further testing or not.

Smoke term is metaphor i.e closed systems of pipes to test for leaks.
Smoke Testing focus extreme important functionality of a component or system are selected to check if critical functions work correctly
Smoke Testing may answer questions like
"Does the program run?",
"Does it open a window?", or
"Does clicking the main button do anything?"

"smoke tests broadly cover product features in a limited time ... if key features don't work or if key bugs haven't yet been fixed, your team won't waste further time installing or testing"

In project, UI QA, there are various widgets containing various buttons. w
e need to check them are are they working properly?
submitting the data properly?
Are sub widgets opening?
editing things properly?

JAX WS Web service Flow


> Service Class is extended:

public class WSObjectContext extends Service

public WSObjectContext(URL wsdlURL, QName qualifiedServiceName)
{
        super(wsdlURL, qualifiedServiceName);
}



> Service Class inside build ServiceDelegate object (Service Delegate is Abstract Class class) (IN WS.SPI Package).
getPort() is returned from Service Delegate

> ServiceDelegate is created using
      Provider Abstract Class (In WS.SPI Package) and
             in Provider Abstract class there is provider method
             which returns Implementation of Provider Class (use FactoryFinder method)

      Provider for Provider class is : com.sun.xml.internal.ws.spi.ProviderImpl

> ProviderImpl class have createServiceDelegate() implementation which returns  WSServiceDelegate object which is again class of com.sun.xml.internal.ws package


The whole implementation present in rt.jar. com.sun package contains oracle reference implementations of the standard Java (EE) APIs

Correlation ID and Message ID in JMS

i checked message header of two messages coming from WMQ server and found that Correlation ID is same for two messages but Message ID are different, as shown below:

  JMSMessageID:    ID:414d5120514d44332020202020202020ece34b503d2d7428
  JMSTimestamp:    1347271147937
  JMSCorrelationID:ID:414d5120514d44332020202020202020ece34b5005e87120
 
 
   JMSMessageID:    ID:414d5120514d44332020202020202020ece34b50292d7428
  JMSTimestamp:    1347271144225
  JMSCorrelationID:ID:414d5120514d44332020202020202020ece34b5005e87120 (Same as above)

so it means both are seperate entity.
