CSCE 590: News

Also, the document Creating Type Mappings describes how to tell Apache SOAP which complex types are matched to which Classes.

Finally, Ranapratap R Vedre was kind enough to provide the following hints:

[The following] is a text file with method using SoapMappingRegistry 

public void search(String keywordValue) throws MalformedURLException

  URL url = new URL("http://api.google.com/search/beta2");
  String name = "";

  Call call = new Call();
  call.setTargetObjectURI("urn:GoogleSearch");
  call.setMethodName("doGoogleSearch");

  BeanSerializer bSerializer = new BeanSerializer();

  SOAPMappingRegistry registry = new SOAPMappingRegistry();

  QName searchResultName = new QName("urn:GoogleSearch",
                                     "GoogleSearchResult");
  QName directoryCategoryName = new QName("urn:GoogleSearch",
                                          "DirectoryCategory");
  QName resultelementnameName = new QName("urn:GoogleSearch",
                                          "ResultElement");

  registry.mapTypes(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC,
                    searchResultName,

  call.setEncodingStyleURI(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC);

  //They set the parameter values for the call.
  
  call.setParams(params);

  Response response = null;

  try{
    response = call.invoke(url,"");
  }

-4: You are not separating the command from the argument. Also,
 this does not scale!

1. Never use magic numbers in your code. If you must use a number declare it as a const (or DEFINE) in a header and comment it.
2. Practice good data abstraction by separating functionality. A function name is different from its arguement and should be separated from it at the first possible instance, and kept that way. It this person had separated the command "getdoc" from the argument "3" then all subsequent conditionals would be much clearer.
3. Whenever possible, program for generality and scalability. In order to add a document 6 this code someone would need to actually search the program for that if statement (and, how knows what else!) and actually change a line of code. This makes the code impossible to both maintain and extend.

On a related note, you might want to check my Software Engineering links from when I taught 492.

There are 2 requirements for uploaded files:
1. Each file size must be less than 2MB.
2. The file name cannot have special letters like spaces, tabs.

Make sure your zip file is less than 2MB and there is only letters
and numbers in your file name.

Having said that, Im dissapointed by the low grades in this test. Those of you at the tail end will need to improve or else you will not earn a passing grade.

Please send me an email if these are of any use to you. I am always looking for ways to improve the educational experience (oh, and to use the new technologies we teach :-)
