    Making functions permanent in Powershell

    2018-04-09 01:00:00 +0000

    I created a function in powershell to access a remote docker host from my windows 10 workstation. You should never just expose the docker socket. Always work with certificates. The official docker documentation has a nice step by step tutorial to do exactly that.

    function docker02 {docker "-H=docker02.mydomain.net:2376" --tlsverify --tlscacert=C:\ca.pem --tlscert=C:\cert.pem  --tlskey=C:\key.pem $args}

    Now I had to insert this command every time I open a new powershell. This annoyed me really fast.

    Powershell supports user profiles.

    You can check the path with:

    $profile

    Check if a profile file already exists:

    test-path $profile

    If “false” use this command:

    new-item -path $profile -itemtype file -force

    Now you just need to insert the function in the profile file:

    powershell_ise $profile

    Book recommendation: MetaGame

    2017-09-13 19:00:00 +0000

    Here’s a book recommendation. A science-fiction thriller. The most interesting part was how the writer fused the world with technology. There a nanobots in this world, which send out a “ping”. They sit on everything. Multiple devices can pick up this signal and therefore pinpoint the object. Objects in displays can be overlayed with other objects. Therefor building a world on top the real world… hence meta :) :

    Mapping query result to a plain java bean with @SqlResultSetMapping

    2017-09-10 19:00:00 +0000

    I needed some data from a old big oracle database. Most of the time I write or generate a entity class, and fetch the data with a Named Query. But this time I only needed two informations and I didn’t what to use a dozen primary keys and so on to find it. So I used a Native Query.. I know… messy.

    Trying to make it look a little professional, I used a SqlResultSetMapping to map the result to a plain old java bean.

    //Need to be put in an entity class. Any entity class will do
@SqlResultSetMapping(
        name = EntityClass.RESULT_MAPPING_NAME,
        classes = {
            @ConstructorResult(
                    targetClass = MyPlainBean.class,
                    columns = {
                        @ColumnResult(name = "something"),
                        @ColumnResult(name = "someone")
                    }
            )
        }
)

//EntityClass is the name of the plain bean - NOT an entity

//Some static final Strings to reference the information. Do not use the same string multiple times!
public static final String RESULT_MAPPING_NAME  = "aVeryGoodName";
public static final String NATIVE_SQL_QUERY  = "SELECT  column1 \"something\" column32 \"someone\" where.....";

//The Native Query call
final Query<MyPlainBean> query = session.createNativeQuery(EntityClass.NATIVE_SQL_QUERY,EntityClass.RESULT_MAPPING_NAME);

    Use a URIResolver if the stylesheets can not be found in test

    2017-09-04 19:00:00 +0000

    I use quiet a lot XSL transformations at work. Since they tend to grow rather big with every new rule I implement, I split the file up. Every file has it’s own domain/rule. This works fine. I also write a new junit test for every new xslt rule/template, to ensure that I did not break anything.

    At somepoint in every new project I get the error, that a transformation in production (src/main) does work, but in test (src/test) does not. After a few minutes of searching I come to the conclusion, that a import/include stylesheet can not be found. A few minutes later and the penny dropes… I always forget to implement the URIResolver. Every time…

    import java.io.InputStream;
import javax.xml.transform.Source;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerException;
import javax.xml.transform.URIResolver;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;


public class XsltURIResolver implements URIResolver {


    @Override
    public Source resolve(String href, String base) throws TransformerException {
        try {
            final InputStream inputStream = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(href);
            return new StreamSource(inputStream);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
    }
}

    And they setting it:

    TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
transformerFactory.setURIResolver(new XsltURIResolver());
