clojure.core/merge-with
([f & maps])
  Returns a map that consists of the rest of the maps conj-ed onto
  the first.  If a key occurs in more than one map, the mapping(s)
  from the latter (left-to-right) will be combined with the mapping in
  the result by calling (f val-in-result val-in-latter).

Using merge-with yields a rather terse code, comprising a tree-walker and a final tally.

(defn count-syms
  "count number time of a symbol occurs in the first place of a sequence"
  [obj]
  (if (not (seq? obj))
      {} ; only count sequences
      (do
        (reduce #(merge-with + %1 %2)
          (conj

                count-syms
                (filter seq? (rest obj)))
            (inc-dict dict (first obj)))))))

Now, I have a study-plan.

Incidentally, waterfront IDE is quite nice, particularly because I don’t have to learn Emacs key-bindings. There are some moments when it barfs and prints out hashmaps incorrectly, but I enjoyed working in a REPL environment.

Unsetting the JAVA_HOME resolved the problem.
I hope this helps somebody.

var circles:Circle[];
var group:Group = Group { content: [circles] };

strangely, I couldn’t get newly inserted circles to render.

It turns out that you have to bind group.content to ensure that changes in circles are reflected in group.content.

Here’s a test routine.

import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.scene.paint.*;
import javafx.scene.shape.*;
import javafx.stage.*;

var lines = for (i in [1..10])
    Line {startX:i*30 startY:20 endX:i*20 endY:500};

var circles = for (i in [1..10])
    Circle {centerX:i*30 centerY:50 radius:20};

Stage
{
    scene: Scene
    {
        content: Group
        {
            content: // bind
            [

                Rectangle {fill:Color.YELLOW width:800 height:500}
                circles,
                lines,

            ]

            onMouseClicked: function(e)
            {
                println('clicked');
                insert Circle {fill:Color.RED centerX:e.x centerY:e.y radius:20} into circles;
            }

        }

    }
}

Uncomment the //bind and observe the difference.

Another way to do it is via a signed applet. Unfortunately, the signed applet is unable to cooperate with the rest of the HTML form to submit multipart posts.

The next best thing is to send the screenshot to a hidden field with a base64 encoded image.

Download signed jar with sources SImageUploadApplet.jar

Here’s a proof of concept:

Download signed jar with sources SImageUploadApplet.jar

It’s 2009, perhaps HTML should have a rich text area that can submit inlined images.

I’m sorry if I missed your name here. Please leave a comment here if you wish to be on the blog roll.

AribaWeb is a 4GL RAD for web applications running on a Java stack.

It uses an approach described in data dictionaries as a database pattern to generate metadata-driven UI.

The Ariba toolset seems reasonably mature from the screencasts, although one has to be wary because a lot of the AJAX work appears to be relatively new.

I’m watching the MetaUI screencast now, and the bubble style error messages on fields is quite cool. However, cooler still is the use of CSS-like language to mark up how fields are presented. This reduces impedance mismatch between binding data to controls, instead turns data into its representation.

Custom validation rules is specfied using a groovy string. I’m not sure if this is translated into Javascript on the client-side. The Meta UI specification decoupled from HTML (layout is in named zones), and there is no reason why this couldn’t be rendered in a RIA.

Actions in UI on a POJO is declared via an annotation (similar to Naked Objects). However, the actions seem to be more restrictive in the sense that the methods must not take any arguments.

e.g.

@Action(message="Account Suspended")
@Visible("! $object.isSuspended")
void suspendAccount() {
...
}

Overall, AribaWeb looks very polished. I haven’t had a look at the underlying libraries used¹, but I look forward to delve into it further.
