[groovy-user] Fwd: Re: [groovy-dev] Groovy ant task and Java 1.7

Steve Higham — 2013-05-25T21:03:21

Hi Andre,

I get the following error message when I run an ant command using a build file that contains a <groovy> command - e.g. "ant -p"

Buildfile: /.../build.XML
/.../build.XML:443 Java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/codehaus/groovy/ant/Groovyc : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Line 443 in the build file is the <taskdef name="groovyc" ... />  command.

Googling this shows that version 51.0 is Java 1.7 which I'm running on this machine (1.7.0_21 Iced Tea 2.3.9). This build file has been working fine under Java 1.6.

Any help appreciated. Otherwise I'll be reverting to Java 1.6.

Thanks,

Steve

[groovy-user] Groovy ant task and Java 1.7

Steve Higham — 2013-05-25T13:26:33

I have an Ant build file using the groovy task <groovy>. This worked fine until I tried to run it on a laptop running OpenSuse and Java 1.7. I then got an incompatable version exception. I upgraded to the latest groovy version (2.1.3) but I'm still getting the same exception. Is this a known issue? I can't find it in the bug tracker.

Kind Regards,

[groovy-user] Groovy Classes and ObjectInputStream

Jochen Eddelbüttel — 2013-05-25T10:53:05

Im currently trying to expand the Groovy I/O tutorial to cover object
streams. Makes for some interesting research.

 

Ive got this Groovy class definition 

 

package sample

 

class Container implements Serializable {

 

    List list

    Map map

    

    boolean equals(Container other) {

        this.list == other.list && this.map == other.map

    }

}

 

Im having trouble reading the data after ANY recompilation. It only work if
I compile to sample/Container.class once and leave it alone.

 

Otherwise the code that reads in the data

 

import sample.Container

 

def objects = []

def fis = new FileInputStream("object.bin")

fis.newObjectInputStream(Container.classLoader).eachObject { obj ->

    objects << obj

}

 

keeps on throwing exceptions like this one:

 

java.io.InvalidClassException: sample.Container; local class incompatible:

stream classdesc serialVersionUID = -3698705106567121233, local class
serialVersionUID = 6309088008650198638

[groovy-user] Git vs Perforce Comparison

Alan Thompson — 2013-05-24T18:17:56

Hello Groovers,

I'm sure that everyone here is pretty well sold on the idea that Git is
nearly always a better SCM choice than Perforce, etc.  I recently had to do
a comparison at work highlighting the differences between the two systems
as we try to move from a legacy home-grown SCM solution to a more modern
approach.  The result is posted at the link below in case you find it
useful in making a similar argument.  Enjoy!

[groovy-user] Do we have ruby's symbols analogue?

Fedor Belov — 2013-05-24T11:46:43

Hello

While developing Grails application I spend a lot of time working with 
strings - comparing them, using them as keys in maps and so on. 
Sometimes I feel that it should be enums (like language "en", "ru") but 
it adds complexity - add one more class, sometimes use it, sometimes 
strings...
May be we should have something similar to Ruby's symbols - enums that 
super simple/fast convert to/from string

I don't know how Groovy/Java works with strings. The goal of symbols:

1. Less memory consumption
2. Fastest object comparison

[groovy-user] Running static analysis on Groovy code to look for security problems.

Preetham Kajekar — 2013-05-23T16:55:00

Hi,
   Having used groovy successfully in the the part in a Spring MVC app 
(with a lot of Java code), I am trying to push the introduction of 
groovy in another product. However, the only barrier I have is the lack 
of ability to do web-app security static analysis for Groovy code from 
vendors like whitehat security (https://www.whitehatsec.com/) . We are 
evaluating using these tools to do some static analysis of our code, and 
most of these tools do not support (understandably) dynamic languages 
like groovy.

What options do I have ? I would not like to loose out on Groovy, but at 
the same time, this 3rd party security testing (static and pen testing) 
is very important for us. Please advice.

Thanks,
  ~preetham

[groovy-user] Expando - getProperties doesn't include Class Properties

Steve Amerige — 2013-05-23T15:50:18

Hi all,

Can anyone explain why a class that extends Expando has no properties as 
in the example below?  How do I get the properties of a class that 
extends Expando?  I'm using Groovy 2.1.3.

    class A
    {
        def x = 37
    }

    class B extends Expando
    {
        def x = 37
    }

    A a = new A()
    println a.properties

    B b = new B()
    println b.properties

output:

    *[class:class A, x:37]*
    *[:]*

Hi all,

The code below is successfully able to determine the String name of a

I might have missed?

     static String getClosureName(Closure c)
     {
         return c instanceof Closure && !(c instanceof MethodClosure) ?

== v }.getKey()
            :  null
     }
}

class Foo
{
     def x = {}
     def fn() {}
}

     def y = {}
}

f = new Foo()

[groovy-user] Where to get PDF version of all groovy documentation?

Harry Simons — 2013-05-23T12:16:08

Hello,

Just like Grails' "single.pdf" that contains all of Grails documentation,
can somebody please create and upload a similar bundle for Groovy?

If not a a single PDF, then, maybe a PDF each for "Getting Started with
Groovy", "Using Groovy", "Cookbook Examples", "Advanced Usage", etc would
also be greatly helpful.

If not PDF's, then at least downloadable HTML tarballs would also be
helpful.

I usually have a need to read Groovy documentation over a slow (and paid!)
connection, so would greatly appreciate offline versions. I'm sure many
others would be benefited too.

Many thanks in advance,

[groovy-user] groovy - invoking a closure

Opal — 2013-05-23T07:32:14

Hi,

Given the following piece of code:

class Lol {
    def clo = {
        println "arg $it"
    }.memoize()
}

Why it's not possible to invoke closure as following:

new Lol().clo('sample arg')

The result is:
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method:
org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.memoize.Memoize$MemoizeFunction.doCall() is
applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: [sample arg]

Why? Do I have to call 'call()' method explicitly?

[groovy-user] Tend to forgetting each...

OC — 2013-05-22T15:07:02

Hello there,

I've found I repeatedly tend to forget 'each', i.e., I tend to write

someCollection { ... }

instead of

someCollection.each { ... }

I wonder, is that just me, or happens this to others, too? To be quite frank I am considering whether to tweak the runtime to automatically perform 'each' in such cases through methodMissing, or whether it would bring more harm than benefits :P

All the best,
OC

[groovy-user] XML size (Was: XmlSlurper no GC

Subject: Re: [groovy-user] XmlSlurper no GC 

Jess,

I've had my hand on the XmlSlurper sources just recently. Its categorization as "lazy evaluation" only extends to GPath queries (where it builds a hierarchy of Iterators instead of collecting nodes into new lists) and node structure manipulation (where new node content is represented by Builder closures until the XML is streamed out again). But it still creates a full in-memory representation of its (groovy.util.slurpersupport.)Nodes in the parse method based on SAX events. So we end up with something that is closer to DOM than StAX. It's all implemented in Java, not compile

[groovy-user] Groovy not working with Rhino JS to Java call

Schleis, David M. — 2013-05-21T21:32:07

Mirth Connect is an open source integration engine with specific support
for

HL7 (healthcare) messages. 

Internally it uses the Rhino JavaScript engine which of course runs
JavaScript, but also allows calling code from custom Java packages
(found in jar files in the custom-lib). 

 

I have written a simple Groovy class and then created the jar using the
GroovyWrapper
(http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GROOVY/WrappingGroovyScript) 

 

The code runs without error, but I find that when I try to do something
Groovy, the call is simply ignored. 

For example: 

 

        def orderList = orders.split("\n") 

        return orderList[0] 

 

returns the expected single line (orderList[0]) when running in the IDE,
but returns the entire multi-line string (orders) when run from Mirth
(Rhino). 

 

Admittedly, this is my first attempt at running compiled Groovy from
Java, so the chances that I am missing something completely obvious are
high, but I have spent some time on this before calling for help.

[groovy-user] XmlSlurper no GC

2013-05-21T14:34:41

Background, I'm contemplating upwards of 25MB SOAP responses coming across the wire to me and vainly holding on to the illusion that the syntactically beautiful XmlSlurper would ever scale, memory wise, to support concurrent processing of such requests in a JEE server environment.  Oh, I can hear the I told you so's echoing from my teammates already.  :)
 
I have a Groovy script that simply reads a 25MB message from disk and does some light processing using XmlSlurper.  With a 128MB heap, it just manages to run (oh StAX how I envy you now).  However, if I run this block in a loop, then I get an OOME.  Once the root GPathResult returned by the parse invocation is queried, then it appears that memory is never GC'd.  I see no explicit cleanup methods on any of these classes.  I've tried scoping in a closure, explicitly assigning nulls, etc. and nothing seems to work.  Other allocations, big arrays, etc. are GC'd as expected.  Are there known memory leak issues in this implementation or maybe Sun's underlying S

[groovy-user] ClassLoaders and garbage collection

theirish81 — 2013-05-21T06:33:12

Hello everyone,
I'm not that big expert of garbage collection and classloaders, but there's
something that puzzles me and it's very important for me to find an answer
to this.
I've been told that a class can be collected when 
1) all the instances of that class have lost all references. Hence, they're
marked for collection
2) all the classes loaded by the same classloader have no referenced
instances
3) the classloader that loaded is no referenced anymore

I'm experiencing an unexpected behavior with the groovyclassloader.
Let's take this sample code:


We have 2 classloaders extending GroovyClassLoader. the XClassLoader loads a
java.util.Date, while the WoodClassLoader parses a class on the fly.
Both classloaders override finalize() to give us a hint the classloader is
marked for collection.
Finally the instance overrides finalize() as well to let us now the object
is marked for collection as well.

I would expect to see:
- dead instance
- Death of wood class loader
- Death of X class laoder

I've read fact

[groovy-user] arrays equals and hashCode

Pawel Slusarz — 2013-05-19T20:00:13

Greetings,

It seems Groovy arrays don't obey the javadoc hashCode contract
(http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#hashCode()).
Specifically, array equality is computed by comparing array elements,
but hashCode is computed based on the object reference. We ran into this
issue at work when trying to use byte arrays as keys in a HashMap
(instead of Strings). I do not see this unexpected behavior documented
anywhere, so I thought I'd post it here for discussion.

Below are some non-exhaustive test cases. Out of these, only the last
test, using Strings, passes. All others fail on the hashCode assertion.

Regards,
Paul
