Russian Culture #001 (IMO)

The Love of Russian to Russia is interesting and hard to understand:
in Russian culture is very common to swear the Country, but it's allowed only for Russians. If some foreigner would try to say some abusive words about Russia - the reaction could vary from a silent lose of confidence to this person to very emotional discussion or even a fight. That could be started even by someone who heard by a case ad even was not invited in the conversation.

This way gives a very weird image about the relationships between the Russians and Russia.

Maybe some examples could give more light for this...

Just by a case I remembered one deep and interesting point: expressions "you are not Russian, aren't you?" or "you are like not Russian" are abusive. These expressions mean that a person behaves in some stupid or totally weird and unacceptable way. The strength of the expression is tuned by emotions of a person who says it and normally that means - by loudness.

win shell scripts: emulate user input

start.cmd

echo y| call test.cmd

pause

test.cmd

SET /p input=Input any key!

@echo ::::::::::::::::::
@echo :::::%input%::::::
@echo ::::::::::::::::::

pause

If the program reads input from STDIN (most likely), not specifically from the keyboard, it can be done just fine.

Ezbear, suppose you answer "Yes" to the prompt. This would run the program and automatically answer the prompt "Yes":

echo Yes|prog.exe [parameters]

The strings "prog.exe" and "[parameters]" are just examples of the program name and its parameters.

If there are multiple prompts, you can do it like this (let's say the answers are "Yes" to the first prompt and "Blue" to the second):

@echo off
echo Yes> %temp%
echo Blue>> %temp%
prog.exe [parameters] <%temp%

However, beware: you won't be able to type in anything else for an eventual third prompt from the program. If the information on the source file (%temp%.\$) is not enough for feeding the program so it completes its process, it will stuck waiting for further input and you won't be able to type it (it will crash, basically). So, you gotta put on the source file all the input that the program will need.

get values from form in controller by auto-mapping

Given:
we expect data send from form, that is fully or partly described in requestListSearchCommand POJO Bean.
We expect that data will be auto-wired by spring and request (POST/GET) parameters values will be set to the bean fields

wrong:

@ModelAttribute("requestListSearchCommand")
public RequestListSearchCommand addSearchParameters(
    @RequestParam(value = "requestListSearchCommand",required=false)
    RequestListSearchCommand requestListSearchCommand) {

if (requestListSearchCommand != null) {  // always FALSE
 requestListSearchCommand = new RequestListSearchCommand();
}
requestListSearchCommand.setSameValue(service.getFromService(randomThing));

Solution:

@ModelAttribute("requestListSearchCommand")
public RequestListSearchCommand addSearchParameters(
    @ModelAttribute(value = "requestListSearchCommand")
    RequestListSearchCommand requestListSearchCommand) {

if (requestListSearchCommand != null) {  // always TRUE
 requestListSearchCommand.setSameValue(service.getFromService(randomThing));
}

Spring does auto-mapping request parameters on parameters beans while bean is getting from model.

freemarker macro complex param issue

GIVEN:

<#macro lalala xxx yyy="BYBYBY" >
title=${title}, order = ${currentSort}


NEED:
<@lalala "ssssssssss" ((requestListSearchParam.order)!"") />
RESULT:
Expected method. "ssssssssss" evaluated instead to freemarker.template.SimpleScalar on <.....> The problematic instruction: - ==> macro lalala [on line <.........................>


FIX:
<#-- COMMA (,) ADDED -->

<@lalala "ssssssssss", ((requestListSearchParam.order)!"") />
