Rails Goodness : What is Jsonify in Rails, Why is needed for REST based controllers

JSONIFY is one of the original ways on how you can Rails converts its Models to JSON Views.

With .jsonfiy in your View, you can move the shenanigans of converting the models to JSON views .jsonify file.

It will also allow you to filter out  or convert the model to the desired JSON output.

If you are using pure REST controllers with no views, you need to have a .jsonfiy file (blank file in view folder is fine as well), for the controllers and rspec to work.

sample .jsonfiy file

json.applications(@applications) do |app|
  json.id         app.id
  json.name       app.name.force_encoding(Encoding::UTF_8)
  json.guid       app.guid.to_s
  json.icon       app.icon_path

  json.created_at        app.created_at.localtime
  json.created_at_human  l(app.created_at.localtime, :format => :human_date)
  json.updated_at        app.updated_at.localtime
  json.updated_at_human  l(app.updated_at.localtime, :format => :human_date)
end

Apache Airflow Wait Between Tasks

 Apache Airflow allows you to create custom workflows that can be triggered on a recurring basis at specific time intervals based on your needs. Some concepts to learn are DAGs - this defines the entire workflow Tasks - are the Individual tasks that constitute the workflow Operators - This is an airflow-specific concept, which needs to be understood, Based on what type of tasks you would like to perform there are multiple operators. To run a bash script there is a BashOperator, to run a python code you need to have a Python Operator. For more details, refer  https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/concepts/index.html Above 3 are sufficient to get started, ofcourse there are others like interprocess communication, variables, process dependency management, etc. Let's Define a Simple Workflow we want to achieve DAG = Tasks1 >> Wait for a Day >> Task2 Above is the DAG, where two tasks are executed, second task depends on first task and is executed afte...

Java J2EE Security Considerations

Java Application Security Considerations   1. Authentication Insecure Coding Practices Secure Coding Practices Concatenated SQL queries for login validation. In most cases it is seen that user credentials, as retrieved from the request is used to form concatenated login queries. Such instances result in injection flaws in the login page. In case of concatenated SQL query, it leads to SQL Injection vulnerability. String  username =request.getParameter(“username”); String  password =request.getParameter(“password”); String query = “SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = “+ username +” AND password=”+ password ; Statement st = con. createStatement(); Results res = st.executeQuery(query); Use Parameterized or pre-compiled queries. String username=request.getParameter(“username”); String password=request.getParameter(“password”); String query = “SELECT * FROM users WHERE  username =?  AND  password=? “; PreparedStatement  ps = con.prepareStatement(query); ps....

Suppose there is a requirement that for every call we need to create a new instance, how can that be done in Spring Boog Answer - using Spring bean with Scope as Prototype and then every time you need a bean, get the SpringApplicationContext and call ctx.getBean() 3. When a REST API POST call is made, how is that converted to Java objects to work in your controller or service layer Answer - Spring offers ViewResolvers, you can use JSONResolver to convert the JSON inputs to a Java Bean which then can be consumed by Controllers 4. How can you achieve Auto Scaling in kubernetes 5. Have you worked in Hibernate JPA or Spring JDBC in your projects? Answer - both , while Hibernate JPA is good for queries, there are some queries where its not efficient enough and you need to have SQLs itself, like if you want to do a bulk update 6. Explain the process of having your Spring WAR deployed on Kubernetes Cluster? 7. Explain how JWT Aut...
