I have the following Elastic Search query with only a term filter. My query is much more complex but I am just trying to show the issue here.


    {
    	&quot;filter&quot;: {
            	&quot;term&quot;: {
                    	&quot;field&quot;: &quot;update-time&quot;
                    }
            }
    }

When I pass in a hyphenated value to the filter, I get zero results back. But if I try without an unhyphenated value I get results back. I am not sure if the hyphen is an issue here but my scenario makes me believe so. 

Is there a way to escape the hyphen so the filter would return results? I have tried escaping the hyphen with a back slash which I read from the Lucene forums but that didn&#39;t help. 


Also, if I pass in a GUID value into this field which is hyphenated and surrounded by curly braces, something like - {ASD23-34SD-DFE1-42FWW}, would I need to lower case the alphabet characters and would I need to escape the curly braces too?

Thanks


Elastic Search Hyphen issue with term filter

I think I am using plyr incorrectly. Could someone please tell me if this is &#39;efficient&#39; plyr code? 

    require(plyr)
    plyr &lt;- function(dd) ddply(dd, .(price), summarise, ss=sum(volume)) 

A little context: I have a few large aggregation problems and I have noted that they were each taking some time. In trying to solve the issues, I became interested in the performance of various aggregation procedures in R.  

I tested a few aggregation methods - and found myself waiting around all day. 

When I finally got results back, I discovered a huge gap between the plyr method and the others - which makes me think that I&#39;ve done something dead wrong.  

I ran the following code (I thought I&#39;d check out the new dataframe package while I was at it):

    require(plyr)
    require(data.table)
    require(dataframe)
    require(rbenchmark)
    require(xts)

    plyr &lt;- function(dd) ddply(dd, .(price), summarise, ss=sum(volume)) 
    t.apply &lt;- function(dd) unlist(tapply(dd$volume, dd$price, sum))
    t.apply.x &lt;- function(dd) unlist(tapply(dd[,2], dd[,1], sum))
    l.apply &lt;- function(dd) unlist(lapply(split(dd$volume, dd$price), sum))
    l.apply.x &lt;- function(dd) unlist(lapply(split(dd[,2], dd[,1]), sum))
    b.y &lt;- function(dd) unlist(by(dd$volume, dd$price, sum))
    b.y.x &lt;- function(dd) unlist(by(dd[,2], dd[,1], sum))
    agg &lt;- function(dd) aggregate(dd$volume, list(dd$price), sum)
    agg.x &lt;- function(dd) aggregate(dd[,2], list(dd[,1]), sum)
    dtd &lt;- function(dd) dd[, sum(volume), by=(price)]

    obs &lt;- c(5e1, 5e2, 5e3, 5e4, 5e5, 5e6, 5e6, 5e7, 5e8)

    bmkRL &lt;- list(NULL)

    for (i in 1:5){
      tt &lt;- timS[1:obs[i]]
    
      for (j in 1:8){
        pxl &lt;- seq(0.9, 1.1, by= (1.1 - 0.9)/floor(obs[i]/(11-j)))
        px &lt;- sample(pxl, length(tt), replace=TRUE)

        d.matrix &lt;- as.matrix(d.df[,-1])
        d.dt &lt;- data.table(d.df)
    
        listLabel &lt;- paste(&#39;i=&#39;,i, &#39;j=&#39;,j)
    
        bmkRL[[listLabel]] &lt;- benchmark(plyr(d.df), plyr(d.dfp), t.apply(d.df),     
                             t.apply(d.dfp), t.apply.x(d.matrix), 
                             l.apply(d.df), l.apply(d.dfp), l.apply.x(d.matrix),
                             b.y(d.df), b.y(d.dfp), b.y.x(d.matrix), agg(d.df),
                             agg(d.dfp), agg.x(d.matrix), dtd(d.dt),
              columns =c(&#39;test&#39;, &#39;elapsed&#39;, &#39;relative&#39;),
              replications = 10,
              order = &#39;elapsed&#39;)
      }
    }

The test was supposed to check up to 5e8, but it took too long - mostly due to plyr. The 5e5 the final table shows the problem: 

    $`i= 5 j= 8`

Is this right? Why is plyr 2250x slower than `data.table`? And why didn&#39;t using the new data frame package make a difference?

I&#39;m attempting to get the URL of the currently open page.  I am using Selenium WebDriver and Java.

I am accessing the current URL via:

    WebDriver driver = new WebDriver();
    String url = driver.getCurrentUrl();

however, the URL does not appear to actually reflect where I currently am.

My current test case involves going to the NYT website and then clicking on the &quot;Technology&quot; link.  However, `url` appears to always be `http://www.nytimes.com/`, regardless of the URL that is displayed in the address bar.

How do I actually access the value of the URL that&#39;s in the address bar so I can tell what page I&#39;m actually on?

I&#39;m a bit new at this so bear with me. I&#39;m currently learning C# and Java and one of their similarities is that the main function needs to be encapsulated within a class. For example

    public class HelloWorld {
    	public static void main(String[] args) {
    		// Some Code
    	}
    }

Now I understand that main is often the &quot;entry point&quot; when you run the program. So basically, your program will start executing wherever the main function is. But I believe in both languages you can have multiple main functions within multiple classes. So when I compile a project with multiple main functions, where is the &quot;entry point&quot;? How does the compiler know where to start?


Multiple Main Functions

I am not asking the question that is already asked here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5579744/what-is-the-difference-between-pathparam-and-queryparam

This is a &quot;best practices&quot; or convention question.

When would you use `@PathParam` vs `@QueryParam`.

What I can think of that the decision might be using the two to differentiate the information pattern. Let me illustrate below my LTPO - less than perfect observation.

PathParam use could be reserved for information category, which would fall nicely into a branch of an information tree. PathParam could be used to drill down to entity class hierarchy.

Whereas, QueryParam could be reserved for specifying attributes to locate the instance of a class.

For example,

- `/Vehicle/Car?registration=123`
- `/House/Colonial?region=newengland`

`/category?instance`

	@GET
	@Path(&quot;/employee/{dept}&quot;)
	Patient getEmployee(@PathParam(&quot;dept&quot;)Long dept, @QueryParam(&quot;id&quot;)Long id) ;

vs `/category/instance`


	@GET
	@Path(&quot;/employee/{dept}/{id}&quot;)
	Patient getEmployee(@PathParam(&quot;dept&quot;)Long dept, @PathParam(&quot;id&quot;)Long id) ;

vs `?category+instance`

	@GET
	@Path(&quot;/employee&quot;)
	Patient getEmployee(@QueryParam(&quot;dept&quot;)Long dept, @QueryParam(&quot;id&quot;)Long id) ;


I don&#39;t think there is a standard convention of doing it. Is there? However, I would like to hear of how people use PathParam vs QueryParam to differentiate their information like I exemplified above. I would also love to hear the reason behind the practice.

When to use @QueryParam vs @PathParam

What is the difference between:

 1. [JAX-WS](https://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=224)
 2. [Axis2](http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/)
 3. [CXF](http://cxf.apache.org/)

All three can be used to create webservices in Java.  
As of I know JAX-WS is a *specification* and Axis2 and CXF are implementations, but Java 1.6 has implementation of JAX-WS if I am not wrong.
 
So one can use Java 1.6 to develop JAX-WS web services without using Axis2 or CXF? Then what is the use of Axis2, CXF?

I would like to implement an `Iterator` in Java that behaves somewhat like the following generator function in Python:

    def iterator(array):
       for x in array:
          if x!= None:
            for y in x:
              if y!= None:
                for z in y:
                  if z!= None:
                    yield z

x on the java side can be multi-dimensional array or some form of nested collection. I am not sure how this would work. Ideas?

Generator functions equivalent in Java

I will be doing a project soon and I will have to use **full screen mode in it.**

It will draw some graphics in the window. It would be convienient if I use **JFrame** or something similar. 

I don&#39;t know what the final resolution of the screen will be. Please tell me if the graphics will be automaticly rescaled?

    JFrame jf = new JFrame();
    jf.setSize(1650,1080);
    //make it fullscreen;
    //now is everything is going to be rescaled so it looks like the original?

I have just recently done an export of my selenium IDE code to selenium web driver. I have found that a lot of the commands that worked in IDE either fail to work or selenium web driver claims to not support at all. So far I&#39;ve been tackling these issues one at a time which is less than ideal...

Currently I&#39;m working on finding out why clicking on a button does not work with web driver while it had previously worked in selenium IDE. My browser is FF 13 and my OS is Ubuntu.
&lt;p&gt;Code Snippet&lt;/p&gt;

    WebElement loginButton = driver.findElement(By.name(&quot;submit&quot;));
    loginButton.click();

I had previously tried

    driver.findElement(By.name(&quot;submit&quot;)).click();

however the above line failed as well. The element is getting selected, however it does not log us in as I would like. I found other pages with similar problems, but their problem seemed to be with Internet Explorer not Firefox. I don&#39;t even want to think about the problems IE will give me down the road.

thanks,

P.S.
A tip on a better way to migrate from selenium IDE to Selenium Webdriver without losing all the tests I&#39;ve written could solve this issue as well.


click command in selenium webdriver does not work

I see this only in Chrome.

The full error message reads:

&gt; &quot;org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Element is not clickable at point (411, 675). Other element would receive the click: ...&quot;

The element that &#39;would receive the click&#39; is to the side of the element in question, not on top of it and not overlapping it, not moving around the page.

I have tried adding an offset, but that does not work either.  The item is on the displayed window without any need for scrolling.

I have written the following code in Selenium 1 (a.k.a Selenium RC) for page scrolling using java:

    selenium.getEval(&quot;scrollBy(0, 250)&quot;);

What is the equivalent code in Selenium 2 (WebDriver)?

Page scroll up or down in Selenium WebDriver (Selenium 2) using java

I&#39;m trying to test a complicated JavaScript interface with Selenium (using the Python interface, and across multiple browsers). I have a number of buttons of the form:

    &lt;div&gt;My Button&lt;/div&gt;

I&#39;d like to be able to search for buttons based on &quot;My Button&quot; (or non-case-sensitive, partial matches such as &quot;my button&quot; or &quot;button&quot;).

I&#39;m finding this amazingly difficult, to the extent to which I feel like I&#39;m missing something obvious. The best thing I have so far is:

    driver.find_elements_by_xpath(&#39;//div[contains(text(), &quot;&#39; + text + &#39;&quot;)]&#39;)

This is case-sensitive, however. The other thing I&#39;ve tried is iterating through all the divs on the page, and checking the element.text property. However, every time you get a situation of the form:

    &lt;div class=&quot;outer&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;inner&quot;&gt;My Button&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

div.outer also has &quot;My Button&quot; as the text. To fix *that*, I&#39;ve tried looking to see if div.outer is the parent of div.inner, but I couldn&#39;t figure out how to do that (element.get_element_by_xpath(&#39;..&#39;) returns an element&#39;s parent, but it tests not equal to div.outer).

Also, iterating through all the elements on the page seems to be really slow, at least using the Chrome webdriver.

Ideas?

&lt;hr/&gt;

I asked (and answered) a more specific version here: *https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12325454/how-to-get-text-of-an-element-in-selenium-webdriver-via-the-python-api-without/12325461#12325461*




How do I find an element that contains specific text in Selenium WebDriver (Python)?

I&#39;m looking for something similar to `waitForElementPresent` to check whether element is displayed before I click it. I thought this can be done by `implicitWait`, so I used the following:

    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

and then click by

    driver.findElement(By.id(prop.getProperty(vName))).click();

Unfortunately, sometimes it waits for the element and sometimes not. I looked for a while and found this solution :

    for (int second = 0;; second++) {
		Thread.sleep(sleepTime);
		if (second &gt;= 10)
			fail(&quot;timeout : &quot; + vName);
		try {
			if (driver.findElement(By.id(prop.getProperty(vName))).isDisplayed())
				break;
		} catch (Exception e) {
			writeToExcel(&quot;data.xls&quot;, e.toString(), parameters.currentTestRow, 46);
		}
	}
	driver.findElement(By.id(prop.getProperty(vName))).click();

And it waited all right, but before timing out it had to wait 10 times 5, 50 seconds. A bit much. So I set the implicitly wait to 1sec and all seemed fine until now. Because now some things wait 10s before timeout but some other things time out after 1s.

How do you cover the waiting for element present/visible in your code? Any hint is appreciable.

WebDriver - wait for element using Java

I have a question.
I have elements something like this:

`&lt;a&gt;` element with id = someGenerated Some:Same:0:name

`&lt;a&gt;` element with id = someGenerated Some:Same:0:surname

`&lt;a&gt;` element with id = someGenerated Some:Same:1:name

`&lt;a&gt;` element with id = someGenerated Some:Same:1:surname

I need CSS selector to get names. The problem is that I don&#39;t know how to get it.
I tried `a[id*=&#39;Some:Same&#39;]` - it returned all `&lt;a&gt;` elements. After I can get elements which id ends with name. But I don&#39;t like this idea. I think that it can be done with some other selector.

CSS selector (id contains part of text)

I&#39;m working on a Java Selenium-WebDriver. I added 

&lt;!-- language-all: lang-java --&gt;

    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

and

    WebElement textbox = driver.findElement(By.id(&quot;textbox&quot;));

because my Applications takes few seconds to load the User Interface. So I set 2 seconds implicitwait. but I got **unable to locate element textbox**

Then I add `Thread.sleep(2000);`

Now it works fine. Which one is a better way? 

How can I ask the Selenium-WebDriver to wait for few seconds in Java?

I tried this

&lt;!-- language: lang-java --&gt;

    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

But I&#39;m getting the error as
