Passing javascript object containing another array of objects to localStorage and then to java servlet using ajax

I am trying to work out how to store a javascript object in local storage that has a few items as well as an array of objects, if that is possible. To then extract the data from the local storage and send to a java servlet using ajax, then extract the data from the java HttpServletRequest. Here is some of the code I have written. It's a bit too complex to put the entire code base here. I have multiple forms which a user completes and as they move between forms I store the data entered into local storage.
const object = localStorage.getItem(scenarioName);
let scenarioObject = JSON.parse(object);
if (formIsValid) {
scenarioObject.SUPER_BALANCE = 420000;
scenarioObject.SUPER_INVESTMENT_FEES = 0.14;
scenarioObject.SUPER_ADMIN_FEES = 120;
scenarioObject.LIFE_INSURANCE = 200000;
scenarioObject.ANNUAL_LUMP_SUM_SUPER_CONTRIBUTION = 1500;
let objectString = JSON.stringify(scenarioObject);
localStorage.setItem(scenarioName, objectString);
}
To extract the data from local storage I do the following:
const object = localStorage.getItem(activeScenario);
const jsonString = JSON.parse(object);
const yourSuperBalance = jsonString.SUPER_BALANCE;
$("#your-super-balance").val(yourSuperBalance);
const yourInvestmentFees = jsonString.SUPER_INVESTMENT_FEES;
$("#super-investment-fees").val(yourInvestmentFees);
const yourSuperAdminFees = jsonString.SUPER_ADMIN_FEES;
$("#super-admin-fees").val(yourSuperAdminFees);
const yourInsurance = jsonString.LIFE_INSURANCE;
$("#life-insurance").val(yourInsurance);
const yourAnnualSuperContribution = jsonString.ANNUAL_LUMP_SUM_SUPER_CONTRIBUTION;
$("#your-annual-lump-sum-super-contribution").val(yourAnnualSuperContribution);
This all works fine, but now I wanted to add an array of objects from a table. I could not figure out a way to add this so I ended up storing two items in local storage. One for all the form data and one for the table data. I didn't like this approach but couldn't get it to work otherwise. Here is how I did the table:
function getSuperContributionsTableDataString(table) {
let yourSuperContributionsTableData = [];
let jsonData;
// commence for loop at 1 because the first row will be the header row and we want to skip that
for (let i = 1; i < table.rows.length; i++) {
let row = table.rows[i];
// first check all cells in row have a value, if not ignore
if (row.cells[0].innerText !== "" && row.cells[1].innerText !== "" && row.cells[2].innerText !== "") {
// As we are pushing the last element pushed becomes the first element in the array
// therefore, we push the before or after tax first and age last
jsonData = {};
jsonData[SUPER_TAXATION_CONTRIBUTION] = row.cells[2].innerText;
jsonData[SUPER_AMOUNT_CONTRIBUTION] = row.cells[1].innerText;
jsonData[SUPER_AGE_CONTRIBUTION] = row.cells[0].innerText;
yourSuperContributionsTableData.push(jsonData);
}
}
return JSON.stringify(yourSuperContributionsTableData);
}
let superContributionsTableDataString = getSuperContributionsTableDataString(
document.getElementById("your-extra-super-contributions-table"));
localStorage.setItem(scenarioName+ANNUAL_LUMP_SUM_SUPER_CONTRIBUTION, superContributionsTableDataString);
This all worked but then I had to figure out how to send this data to the server using ajax. Without the table, everything was working fine as follows:
function sendScenarioDetailsToServer() {
let activeScenario = localStorage.getItem(ACTIVE_SCENARIO_KEY);
let item = localStorage.getItem(activeScenario);
let passedData = JSON.parse(item);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "ScenarioServlet",
data: passedData,
success: function (data) {
const SUCCESS_INT = data.length - 1;
if (data[SUCCESS_INT].SUCCESS === FAIL) {
displayPopupMessage("Error saving scenario ", "Save Scenario");
}else {
displayResult();
}
},
error: function (error, status) {
console.log(`Error ${error}`);
const stackTrace = getStackTrace();
const message = "An error occurred sending your data to the server for calculation. ";
displayPopupMessage(message, "Server Error.", stackTrace);
}
});
}
I modified this function as follows to add the table data and everything in the java servlet code went wrong.
function sendScenarioDetailsToServer() {
let activeScenario = localStorage.getItem(ACTIVE_SCENARIO_KEY);
let item = localStorage.getItem(activeScenario);
let passedData = JSON.parse(item);
// superannuation table
const superTable = activeScenario+ANNUAL_LUMP_SUM_SUPER_CONTRIBUTION;
// this is already stringified
const superTableItem = localStorage.getItem(superTable);
const superTableData = '&' + ANNUAL_LUMP_SUM_SUPER_CONTRIBUTION + "=" + superTableItem;
const formData = passedData + superTableData;
console.log("formData " + formData);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "ScenarioServlet",
data: passedData + superTableData,
success: function (data) {
const SUCCESS_INT = data.length - 1;
if (data[SUCCESS_INT].SUCCESS === FAIL) {
// TODO display messages
displayPopupMessage("Error saving scenario ", "Save Scenario");
}else {
displayResult();
}
},
error: function (error, status) {
console.log(`Error ${error}`);
const stackTrace = getStackTrace();
const message = "An error occurred sending your data to the server for calculation. ";
displayPopupMessage(message, "Server Error.", stackTrace);
}
});
}
Can anyone advise how best to store a javascript object in local storage that has an item inside the object which is an array of objects for a table? How do I store this in local storage, retrieve it from local storage, send it to the java servlet using ajax and then retrieve it from the HttpServletRequest. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

I worked out a way to do this. I shall fully explain the situation and then my solution to the problem. Not sure if this is the best solution but it does work.
The situation is that I have multiple forms where the user enters data for calculations, including a table of data. I wanted to store this data on local storage for later retrieval next time the user uses the website. The calculations are done in Java on the server so when the user clicks on something like "calculate" the data in local storage is then sent to the server to perform the calculations and the result is sent back.
I needed to store a javascript object containing some elements plus a table, so basically a javascript object with an array inside it.
Collect data from the table
function getSuperContributionsTableDataString(table) {
let yourSuperContributionsTableData = [];
let jsonData;
// commence for loop at 1 because the first row will be the header row and we want to skip that
for (let i = 1; i < table.rows.length; i++) {
let row = table.rows[i];
// first check all cells in row have a value, if not ignore
if (row.cells[0].innerText !== "" && row.cells[1].innerText !== "" && row.cells[2].innerText !== "") {
// As we are pushing the last element pushed becomes the first element in the array
// therefore, we push the before or after tax first and age last
jsonData = {};
jsonData[SUPER_TAXATION_CONTRIBUTION] = row.cells[2].innerText;
jsonData[SUPER_AMOUNT_CONTRIBUTION] = row.cells[1].innerText;
jsonData[SUPER_AGE_CONTRIBUTION] = row.cells[0].innerText;
yourSuperContributionsTableData.push(jsonData);
}
}
return yourSuperContributionsTableData;
}
Where I went wrong with this originally was I stringified the array. As the entire javascript object is going to be stringified this was unnecessary.
Create javascript object and store in local storage
The first step is to extract the item from local storage to update it with the new data from the user. Notice we must parse the object because it was originally stringified.
Secondly set the user entered data on the javascript object. You will notice the call to the function above that retrieves the table data. That table data is set as a key value pair in the javascript object.
const scenarioName = localStorage.getItem(ACTIVE_SCENARIO_KEY);
const object = localStorage.getItem(scenarioName);
let scenarioObject = JSON.parse(object);
isValid = validateYourSuperannuationForm();
if (isValid) {
let superContributionsTableDataString = getSuperContributionsTableDataString(
document.getElementById("your-extra-super-contributions-table"));
scenarioObject.SUPER_BALANCE = $("#your-super-balance").val();
scenarioObject.SUPER_INVESTMENT_FEES = $("#super-investment-fees").val();
scenarioObject.SUPER_ADMIN_FEES = $("#super-admin-fees").val();
scenarioObject.LIFE_INSURANCE = $("#life-insurance").val();
scenarioObject.ANNUAL_LUMP_SUM_SUPER_CONTRIBUTION = $("#your-annual-lump-sum-super-contribution").val();
scenarioObject.EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA = superContributionsTableDataString;
let objectString = JSON.stringify(scenarioObject);
localStorage.setItem(scenarioName, objectString);
}
Send item in local storage to server
I discovered trying to stringify the entire javascript object caused problems at the server. What I had to do was create a new object for the formData to be sent to the server, BUT I had to stringify only the table data, not the entire object. I had to retrieve each item from local storage and set it on the formData object to be passed to the server.
function sendScenarioDetailsToServer() {
const activeScenario = localStorage.getItem(ACTIVE_SCENARIO_KEY);
const item = localStorage.getItem(activeScenario);
const scenarioObject = JSON.parse(item);
// We must do this because if superContributionsTableData == "" and we then stringify this it will
// end up with a value of """", which will cause an error.
const superContributionsTableData = scenarioObject.EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA;
let superContributionsTableDataString = "";
if (superContributionsTableData !== ""){
superContributionsTableDataString = JSON.stringify(superContributionsTableData);
}
const formData = {
SCENARIO_NAME: scenarioObject.SCENARIO_NAME,
DATE_OF_BIRTH: "",
IS_SINGLE: scenarioObject.IS_SINGLE,
IS_RETIRED: scenarioObject.IS_RETIRED,
RETIREMENT_DATE: scenarioObject.RETIREMENT_DATE,
IS_HOMEOWNER: scenarioObject.IS_HOMEOWNER,
FORTNIGHTLY_RENT: scenarioObject.FORTNIGHTLY_RENT,
DATE_RENT_CEASES: scenarioObject.DATE_RENT_CEASES,
IS_SINGLE_AND_SHARING: scenarioObject.IS_SINGLE_AND_SHARING,
SPOUSE_DATE_OF_BIRTH: scenarioObject.SPOUSE_DATE_OF_BIRTH,
IS_SPOUSE_RETIRED: scenarioObject.IS_SPOUSE_RETIRED,
SPOUSE_RETIREMENT_DATE: scenarioObject.SPOUSE_RETIREMENT_DATE,
SUPER_BALANCE: scenarioObject.SUPER_BALANCE,
SUPER_INVESTMENT_FEES: scenarioObject.SUPER_INVESTMENT_FEES,
SUPER_ADMIN_FEES: scenarioObject.SUPER_ADMIN_FEES,
LIFE_INSURANCE: scenarioObject.LIFE_INSURANCE,
ANNUAL_LUMP_SUM_SUPER_CONTRIBUTION: scenarioObject.ANNUAL_LUMP_SUM_SUPER_CONTRIBUTION,
EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA: superContributionsTableDataString
}
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "ScenarioServlet",
data: formData,
success: function (data) {
// do stuff here
{
},
error: function (error, status) {
console.log(`Error ${error}`);
const stackTrace = getStackTrace();
const message = "An error occurred sending your data to the server for calculation. ";
displayPopupMessage(message, "Server Error.", stackTrace);
}
});
In the Java Servlet the data is then extracted from the HttpServletRequest passed to the doPost method. It is retrieved in the usual way by calling HttpServletRequest.getParameter. Converting the table data is a little more complex because it is an array that was converted to a string. I am including an extract of that code in case it is of use to someone.
ArrayList<LumpSumSuperContribution> superContributionsList = new ArrayList<>();
String superContributionsTableData = request.getParameter(EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA);
// Array superContributionsArray = request.getParameter(EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA);
JSONObject superContributionsMessage = new JSONObject();
boolean errorOccurred = false;
if (superContributionsTableData != null && superContributionsTableData.length() > 0) {
try {
JSONArray superContributionsArray = new JSONArray(superContributionsTableData);
int i = 0;
while (i < superContributionsArray.length()) {
JSONObject contributionObj = (JSONObject) superContributionsArray.get(i);
String ageString = (String) contributionObj.get(SUPER_AGE_CONTRIBUTION);
Validator.WholeNumberResult result6 = Validator.validateMandatoryWholeNumber(ageString, 18, 99,
"Lump Sum Super Contribution age for row " + (i + 1));
if (!result6.getErrorMessage().equals(SUCCESS)) {
superContributionsMessage.put(EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA, result6.getErrorMessage());
messageArray.put(superContributionsMessage);
errorOccurred = true;
break;
}
Integer age = result6.getNumber();
String contributionAmountString = (String) contributionObj.get(SUPER_AMOUNT_CONTRIBUTION);
Validator.WholeNumberResult result7 = Validator.validateMandatoryWholeNumber(
contributionAmountString, 1, 9999999,
"Lump Sum Super Contribution amount for row " + (i + 1));
if (!result7.getErrorMessage().equals(SUCCESS)) {
superContributionsMessage.put(EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA, result7.getErrorMessage());
messageArray.put(superContributionsMessage);
errorOccurred = true;
break;
}
Integer amount = result7.getNumber();
String beforeAfterTaxString = (String) contributionObj.get(SUPER_TAXATION_CONTRIBUTION);
Validator.TextResult result8 = Validator.validateMandatoryText(beforeAfterTaxString,
"Lump Sum Super Contribution Before or After Tax for row " + (i + 1), 5, 6);
if (!result8.getErrorMessage().equals(SUCCESS)) {
superContributionsMessage.put(EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA, result8.getErrorMessage());
messageArray.put(superContributionsMessage);
errorOccurred = true;
break;
}
String beforeAfterTax = result8.getText();
LumpSumSuperContribution superContribution = new LumpSumSuperContribution(age, amount, false,
LumpSumSuperContribution.YOUR_CONTRIBUTION, beforeAfterTax);
superContributionsList.add(superContribution);
i++;
}
if (!errorOccurred) {
scenario.setAllYourSuperContributions(superContributionsList);
// superContributionsMessage.put(EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA, SUCCESS);
} else {
fail = true;
superContributionsMessage.put(EXTRA_SUPER_CONTRIBUTIONS_TABLE_DATA, FAIL);
messageArray.put(superContributionsMessage);
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}else {
scenario.setAllYourSuperContributions(null);
}
}
Summary
Create a javascript array. Then loop through the table data and create a javascript object for each row of the table and push onto the array.
Create or retrieve javascript object stored in local storage. If already in local storage, this object must be parsed using JSON.parse(object).
Set the details on the object entered by the user.
Stringify the javascript array and add the string to the object as a key value pair.
To send the data to the server retrieve the item from local storage and parse the item to extract details from it.
Set the extracted details on a newly created formData object.
Stringify the table data and set as a key value pair in formData.
Using ajax Post the data to the server.
I hope this helps someone in the future. It took me a while of trying different things to find a way to get this to work. If anyone has a better solution please post it.

Setting setRequestBody for Rest web services using Post method

Hi I'm trying to create a rest response using post method, I want to dynamically pass the variables instead of hard coding,But where i fail is,when I'm trying to to send an array as a parameter to the Rest web service using post method(example array ["CN=XXX_XX,OU=XXXXX,OU=1_XXXX XXXXity Groups,DC=XXXX,DC=local"]) and I know that there is a better way to do that Please find my code sample.This is the method that gives me a appropriate result.
First Method:(Works)
`
try {
var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('SailPoint_IdM', 'post');
var txt = "{\r\n\t\"workflowArgs\":\r\n\t{\r\n\t\"identityName\":\"SiamR\",\r\n\t\"appName\":\"Active Directory\",\r\n\t\"listEntitlements\":[\"CN=ER_CxxxK,OU=xxxxx,OU=1_xxxxxx Security xxx,DC=xxxx,DC=local\"],\r\n\t\"operation\":\"Add\",\r\n\t\"ticketNumber\":\"RITM1234567\"\r\n\t}\r\n}";
r.setRequestBody(txt);
var response = r.execute();
var ResponseBody = response.getBody();
var HTTPCode = response.getStatusCode();
gs.log(ResponseBody);
gs.log(HTTPCode);
} catch (ex) {
var message = ex.getMessage();
}
output:

Im facing issue with this parameter as im trying to pass this as aray paramenter '["CN=Exxx_xxxK,OU=xxxxion,OU=1_xxxxx Security xxxx,DC=xxx,DC=xxxx"]'
Please suggest a way to implement this and to pass all the variables dynamically if suggesting first method

Below is one of my function, to handle dynamic parameters in either appear in request endpoint (url), headers or body;
For eg: parameter p
var p = {abc: 'def'};
and outbuond rest settings:
rest url = https://xxxx.sss.com/api/showme?name=${abc}
rest headers name = custom-header; value = ${abc}
rest body = {name: "${abc}"}
so it will replace all ${abc} to 'def'
_.isNullOrEmpty - check is obj, string or array is null or empty;
_.loop - loop an obj or array, pass in function(nm/i, val) {}
_.isArray - to check if is array
_.str - convert anything to string
_.rpl - replace all string A to B
restParameters: function (restRequest, obj, endpoint) {
var _ = this;
if ((_.isNullOrEmpty(restRequest)) || (_.isNullOrEmpty(obj))) return;
if (_.isNullOrEmpty(endpoint)) endpoint = restRequest.getEndpoint();
var body = restRequest.getRequestBody();
var headers = restRequest.getRequestHeaders();
_.loop(obj, function(nm, val) {
if (_.isArray(val)) {
val = (_.isNullOrEmpty(val)) ? '[]' : JSON.stringify(val);
} else val = _.str(val);
//for my case my array pass in as string become: "[\"1\", \"2\"]"
//comment below if pass in as object
if (val.contains('"')) val = _.rpl(val, '"', '\\"');
restRequest.setStringParameterNoEscape(nm, val);
var sch = '${' + nm + '}';
endpoint = _.rpl(endpoint, sch, val);
body = _.rpl(body, sch, val);
_.loop(headers, function (hn, hv) {
headers[hn] = _.rpl(hv, sch, val);
});
}, true);
restRequest.setEndpoint(endpoint);
restRequest.setRequestBody(body);
_.loop(headers, function (hn, hv) { restRequest.setRequestHeader(hn, hv); });
}

Unable to parse jsonp response from geocode site

I am totally new to JavaScript, trying to get JSONP geocoding data from geocoding.geo.census.gov into a website. The response looks something like that (from chrome), only the first few keys are shown:
JSONPCallback({"result":{"input":{"address":{"address":"333 e 33th st austin tx"},"vintage":{"isDefault":true,"vintageName":"Current_Current","id":"4","vintageDescription":"Current Vintage - Current Benchmark"},"benchmark":{"isDefault":false,"id":"4","benchmarkName":"Public_AR_Current","benchmarkDescription":"Public Address Ranges - Current Benchmark"}}...............
This is the code I'm using:
var jsonp = {
callbackCounter: 0,
fetch: function(url, callback) {
var fn = 'JSONPCallback_' + this.callbackCounter++;
window[fn] = this.evalJSONP(callback);
url = url.replace('=JSONPCallback', '=' + fn);
var scriptTag = document.createElement('SCRIPT');
scriptTag.src = url;
document.getElementsByTagName('HEAD')[0].appendChild(scriptTag);
},
evalJSONP: function(callback) {
return function(data) {
var validJSON = false;
if (typeof data == "string") {
try {validJSON = JSON.parse(data);} catch (e) {
/*invalid JSON*/}
} else {
validJSON = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(data));
window.console && console.warn('response data was not a JSON string');
}
if (validJSON) {
callback(validJSON);
} else {
throw("JSONP call returned invalid or empty JSON");
}
}
}
}
then:
{console.log(Object.keys(data));} //(or data[0])
and all I'm getting in the console is:
response data was not a JSON string
Array[1]0: "result"
length: 1
proto: Array[0]
I don't understand why all I'm getting is just "result"?

evalJSONP: function(callback) {
return callback;
}
That should work. If your sample is accurate. Then you don't need to parse the data.

I believe the old code wasn't working because it was trying to parse an object. Plase correct me if I'm wrong.

Creating Parse.Object new parse server

I am using the new open source parse server and this is what I have in the main.js for creating a object.
Parse.Cloud.define("purchaseItem", function(request, response) {
Parse.Cloud.useMasterKey();
var order, custom;
Parse.Promise.as().then(function() {
var fullreceipt;
var receiptData = new Array();
receiptData = request.params.receipt.titles;
if(receiptData){
console.log('value of recept data is good');
}
if (!receiptData){
console.log('Value of receiptData is empty');
}
for (var i = 0; i < receiptData.length; i++) {
console.log(receiptData[i]);
fullreceipt = receiptData[i];
console.log(fullreceipt);
//Do something
}
var currentUser = Parse.User.current();
order = new Parse.Object('Order');
order.set('name', request.params.name);
order.set('email', request.params.email);
order.set('address', request.params.address);
order.set('zip', request.params.zip);
order.set('city_state', request.params.city_state);
order.set('fulfilled', false);
order.set('charged', false); // set to false until we actually charge the card
order.set('user', currentUser);
order.set('receipt', request.params.receipt);
order.set('tipAmount', request.params.tipAmount);
order.set('taxAmount', request.params.taxAmount);
order.set('orderInstructions', request.params.instructions);
order.set('pickupOrDelivery', request.params.pickupOrDelivery);
order.set('totalBillAmount', request.params.totalBill);
return order.save().then(null, function(error) {
console.log('Creating order object failed. Error: ' + error);
return Parse.Promise.error('An error has occurred. Your credit card was not charged.' + order);
});
}
}
In the logs I get value of recept data is good but creating the object fails and I get the error message, Creating order object failed. Error: [object Object]
. If any one cloud help that would be great!

I looks like found my own answer in a error message. What was going wrong was I need to point it to the new parse server on AWS api and not the old parse api.

Parse Cloud Code - Only Retrieve Certain Columns Before Sending Response.

I currently have this cloud code to retrieve all the users that have a relation with the current user. I have to first find the current user then query the "Friends" column hence the relational query step.
The line response.success(results) returns all the attributes of all of the current user's friends. I only want a few of the columns that belong to these friends, not every single thing they saved when signing up.
Parse.Cloud.define("getFriends", function(request, response) {
var userId = request.params.UserKey;
var query = new Parse.Query(Parse.User);
query.ascending("updatedAt");
query.get(userId, {
success: function(foundCurrentUser) {
var currentUser = foundCurrentUser;
var relation = currentUser.relation("Friends");
var getRelationQuery = relation.query();
getRelationQuery.find().then(function(results) {
response.success(results);
});
},
error: function(error) {
response.error(error);
}
});
});
I am using swift to to use the response, I am not sure that if I need to tweak the swift code but will provide it anyway.
func LoadCarpoolersFromParse(Success:(object:AnyObject)->(),Failure:(error:NSError)->())
{
let params = NSMutableDictionary()
params.setObject(PFUser.currentUser()!.objectId!, forKey: "UserKey")
PFCloud.callFunctionInBackground("getCarpoolers", withParameters: params as [NSObject : AnyObject], block: {
(response:AnyObject?, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if error == nil {
Success(object: response!)
}
else{
Failure(error:error!)
}
})
}
}

You can do it by using select method of Parse.Query, make the following changes in your cloud code
Parse.Cloud.define("getFriends", function(request, response) {
var userId = request.params.UserKey;
var query = new Parse.Query(Parse.User);
query.ascending("updatedAt");
query.select("name","phone"); // replace with your required fields
