How to pad a string with spaces when size of data is unknown in Microsoft SQL Server

Requirement
When I select a character data with varchar(6) from Microsoft SQL Server....

And these data should have fixed length in report.
If the data is 01, it should right pad with 4 spaces.
If the data is 01234, it should right pad with 1 space.

Solution
If we would like to meet this requirement in SQL Server, we can use 'CAST' function which provided by SQL Server

select cast(repno as char(6)) from NSS313FA  

Utilizing cast function in SQL statement, you can get fixed length in report no matter how long the data is.

   

You can get further information in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa226054(v=sql.80).aspx

How to convert the amount from Arabic numerals to Chinese number (如何將阿拉伯數字金額轉大寫國字)

Requirement
In our payment slip, we need to convert the amount from Arabic numerals to Chinese number. ex. 325250 will be converted to 參拾貳萬伍仟貳佰伍拾.

Solution
Here has a utility method to do conversion.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52

/** * Convert to Chinese amount * * @param amount * the amount * @return the string */ public static String convertToChineseAmt(Long amount) { String num[] = { "零", "壹", "貳", "參", "肆", "伍", "陸", "柒", "捌", "玖" }; String xx[] = { "拾", "佰", "仟" }; String yy[] = { "萬", "億", "兆", "京" }; String chineseAmt = ""; int i; int temp; boolean first = true; boolean zero = false; for (i = 0; (int) (amount / (long) Math.pow(10, i)) != 0; i++) { ;// 計算位數i } if (i == 0) { return num[0]; } for (int k = (i - 1) / 4; k >= 0; k--) { temp = (int) ((amount / (long) Math.pow(10, 4 * k)) % (int) Math.pow(10, 4)); if (temp == 0) { zero = true; continue; } for (int x = 3; x >= 0; x--) { if (first) { x = (i - 1) % 4; first = false; } if (temp / (int) Math.pow(10, x) % 10 == 0) { zero = true; } else { if (zero) { chineseAmt += num[0]; zero = false; } chineseAmt += num[temp / (int) Math.pow(10, x) % 10]; if (x > 0) { chineseAmt += xx[x - 1]; } } } if (k > 0) { chineseAmt = chineseAmt + yy[k - 1]; } } return chineseAmt; }

Test
We inputted three amount into this method to do conversion

1 2 3 4 5

public static void main(String args[]) { System.out.println(ReportUtils.convertToChineseAmt(2500L)); System.out.println(ReportUtils.convertToChineseAmt(50100L)); System.out.println(ReportUtils.convertToChineseAmt(325250L)); }

How to do collection filter in Java

Requirement
Assume I have a collection of Cta612pDto, and this collection contains:

1:  [Cta612pDto [acc=0100, amt=13033356, seqnm=(*)年度預算支出, ypay=null, formattedAmt=null],   
2:  Cta612pDto [acc=0101, amt=3809733, seqnm=  一般政務支出                                , ypay=null, formattedAmt=null],   
3:  Cta612pDto [acc=0102, amt=3894280, seqnm=  國防支出                                  , ypay=null, formattedAmt=null],   
4:  Cta612pDto [acc=0103, amt=2532563, seqnm=  教育科學文化支出                              , ypay=null, formattedAmt=null],   
5:  Cta612pDto [acc=0104, amt=1655232, seqnm=  經濟發展支出                                , ypay=null, formattedAmt=null],   
6:  Cta612pDto [acc=0105, amt=460708, seqnm=  社會福利支出                                , ypay=null, formattedAmt=null],   
7:  Cta612pDto [acc=0106, amt=59111, seqnm=  社區發展及環境保護支出                           , ypay=null, formattedAmt=null],   
8:  Cta612pDto [acc=0107, amt=366285, seqnm=  退休撫卹支出                                , ypay=null, formattedAmt=null],   
9:  Cta612pDto [acc=0109, amt=255444, seqnm=  一般補助及其他支出                             , ypay=null, formattedAmt=null],   
10:  Cta612pDto [acc=0200, amt=130015, seqnm=(*)以前年度支出                                 , ypay=null, formattedAmt=null],   
11:  Cta612pDto [acc=0400, amt=14271298, seqnm=(*)特種基金及保管款支出                             , ypay=null, formattedAmt=null],   
12:  Cta612pDto [acc=0500, amt=0, seqnm=(*)國庫券及短期借款還本支出, ypay=null, formattedAmt=null],   
13:  Cta612pDto [acc=8888, amt=1539861, seqnm=null, ypay=null, formattedAmt=null],   
14:  Cta612pDto [acc=9800, amt=757028109, seqnm=合計, ypay=null, formattedAmt=null],   
15:  Cta612pDto [acc=9900, amt=849981138506, seqnm=累計, ypay=null, formattedAmt=null],   
16:  Cta612pDto [acc=9991, amt=1539861, seqnm=  支付註銷, ypay=null, formattedAmt=null],   
17:  Cta612pDto [acc=9992, amt=728053579, seqnm=  支出收回, ypay=null, formattedAmt=null],   
18:  Cta612pDto [acc=9999, amt=728053579, seqnm=null, ypay=null, formattedAmt=null]]  

We need to remove some java beans from this collection when acc is 8888 or 9999.

Solution
We can make good use of PredicateUtils.nonePredicate to define our conditions which provide by Apache commons Collection. It will create a new Predicate that returns true if none of the specified predicates are true. If the array of predicates is empty, then this predicate returns true. 
And also use CollectionUtils.filter to filter the collection by applying a Predicate to each element.

1:      BeanPropertyValueEqualsPredicate acc8888Predicate = new BeanPropertyValueEqualsPredicate(  
2:          "acc", "8888");  
3:      BeanPropertyValueEqualsPredicate acc9999Predicate = new BeanPropertyValueEqualsPredicate(  
4:          "acc", "9999");  
5:      Predicate predicate = PredicateUtils.nonePredicate(new Predicate[] { acc8888Predicate,  
6:          acc9999Predicate });  
7:      CollectionUtils.filter(dataList, predicate);  

After doing CollectionUtils.filter, you can find out two java beans had been removed from data list collection.

1:  [Cta612pDto [acc=0100, amt=13033356, seqnm=(*)年度預算支出, ypay=null, formattedAmt=13,033,356.00],

7:  Cta612pDto [acc=0106, amt=59111, seqnm=  社區發展及環境保護支出                           , ypay=null, formattedAmt=59,111.00　　　],   
8:  Cta612pDto [acc=0107, amt=366285, seqnm=  退休撫卹支出                                , ypay=null, formattedAmt=366,285.00　　　],

Why iReport eat my spaces

Requirement

We had a report requirement as bellows:

You can see some items' amount need to do indent. Others don't.

Problem

Here we add 7 single-byte spaces for some items' amount to do indent based on specific conditions.

1:   DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat();  
2:      df.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);  
3:      df.setMinimumFractionDigits(2);  
4:      for (Cta612pDto vo : dataList) {  
5:        if (StringUtils.startsWith(vo.getSeqnm(), "(*)") || "9800".equals(vo.getAcc())  
6:            || "9900".equals(vo.getAcc())) {  
7:          vo.setFormattedAmt(df.format(vo.getAmt()));  
8:        } else {  
9:          vo.setFormattedAmt(df.format(vo.getAmt()) + "       ");  
10:        }  
11:        formattedList.add(vo);  
12:      }  

But it does not work:

Root cause

 The iReport seem trim your spaces automatically. Therefore, it does not work for this circumstance.

Solution
We need to use double-byte spaces(全形空白) instead of single-byte spaces(半形空白).

1:   DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat();  
2:      df.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);  
3:      df.setMinimumFractionDigits(2);  
4:      for (Cta612pDto vo : dataList) {  
5:        if (StringUtils.startsWith(vo.getSeqnm(), "(*)") || "9800".equals(vo.getAcc())  
6:            || "9900".equals(vo.getAcc())) {  
7:          vo.setFormattedAmt(df.format(vo.getAmt()));  
8:        } else {  
9:          vo.setFormattedAmt(df.format(vo.getAmt()) + "　　　");  
10:        }  
11:        formattedList.add(vo);  
12:      }  

AngularJS - How to remove unnecessary blank option in dynamic drop down list

Based on AngularJS - How to create dynamic drop down list this post, you had learned how to create a dynamic drop down list via AnguarJS.

Problem
But we found out a problem, AngularJS will create an empty option in the dynamic drop down list and will place at first location. It's not my expected result.

Solution
You can set a default value to your dynamic drop down list, then you can fix your problem. Here is code snippet:

1:      //query  
2:      $scope.query = function(){  
3:        var result = nss702rService.query('rest/', $scope.model);  
4:        result.then(function(response){  
5:         $scope.dpNos = response;  
6:         //if have more than one record in dpNos,  
7:         //then set the first option as its default value  
8:         if($scope.dpNos.length > 0){  
9:           $scope.model.dpNo = $scope.dpNos[0].uid;  
10:         }  
11:       });  
12:      };  

Check the result. You won't find the empty option in the dynamic drop down list

How to adjust column width to fit the contents in Apache POI

Problem
I utilized Apache POI to write data into excel file. But I found out each cell width has the same default width, it does not adjust it's width based on its contents.

Solution

You can call autoSizeColumn method in HSSFSheet to fix this problem.
Here is the JavaDoc: http://poi.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/poi/hssf/usermodel/HSSFSheet.html#autoSizeColumn(int, boolean)
If you have 10 columns, you need to call autoSizeColumn 10 times in for-loop.
For example.

1:          for (int resizeCnt = 0; resizeCnt < pdateSet.size() + 3; resizeCnt++) {  
2:            sheet.autoSizeColumn(resizeCnt);  
3:          }  

Check the result after we call autoSizeColumn. 
You can see some columns' width may not really fit the contents, but it's much better than the original one.

Apache Commons Application - Predicate Chain

Requirement
If you have a collection of value object, and would like to do search just like SQL.
And you may have more complex requirement, ex. two or more search criteria.
You may can try Apache Commons CollectionUtils and BeanUtils.

Example
Prepare a bean class whose named person with 3 attributes (name, birthPlace and department)

Here is our CollectionTest class to demonstrate how to do filter in collection via Apache Commons CollectionUtils and BeanUtils.
The entry point is main method.

• Step1. Call setUpData to create test data (List of Person).
• Step2. Call filterDataWithTwoCriteria and pass search criteria (find out the person who birthPlace is 'ChiaYi' and work at 'DEPT1' department)

67:            test.filterDataWithTwoCriteria("ChiaYi", "DEPT1");  
68:       }  
69:  }  

After executing this standalone Java application, the console will print the person whose birth place is 'ChiaYi' and work at 'DEPT1' department

1:  Person [birthPlace=ChiaYi, department=DEPT1, name=Albert]  
2:  Person [birthPlace=ChiaYi, department=DEPT1, name=Alex]
