Tag checkboxes in Spring MVC


In jsp page with Spring MVC you can use form tags.


With tag checkboxes you can create elegant structure of code in form, for example if you have typical 1:N or M:N relation between model classes.


I show 1:N relation between SECTION and PRODUCT class. It example uses Spring MVC and form-tag checkboxes.

Class Section

Section class is common POJO. Class contains reference to Product class.


public class Section {
    ...
    private List products;
    ...        
}

Class Product

Correct designed method boolean equals:Obj is very important for useful usage checkboxes tag.



public class Product {
    
    private Integer Id;
    private String title;
    
    ...

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        if (obj == null) {
            return false;
        }
        if (getClass() != obj.getClass()) {
            return false;
        }
        final Product other = (Product) obj;
        if (this.Id != other.Id && (this.Id == null || !this.Id.equals(other.Id))) {
            return false;
        }
        if ((this.title == null) ? (other.title != null) : !this.title.equals(other.title)) {
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }
}

Controller

It is important create Property editor for reference class (Product). Property editor is register in method initBinder. As you see the attribute allProducts in method getAllProducts is automatically putting to model. It is need in view section_edit.jsp.


@ModelAttribute("allProducts")
public List getAllProducts(){
     return productDao.all();
}

@RequestMapping(value="/section_edit.htm", method=RequestMethod.GET)   
public Section sectionEdit(Integer sectionId){
     return sectionDao.findById(sectionId);
}

@RequestMapping(value="/section_edit.htm", method=RequestMethod.POST)   
public String sectionEdit(Section section, Errors errors){               
     ...
     sectionDao.saveOrUpdate(section);
     return "redirect:/sections.htm";
}

@InitBinder
public void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder) {       
   binder.registerCustomEditor(Product.class, new ProductPropertyEditor());     
}

ProductPropertyEditor

In ProductProperty editor I override only method void setAsText:String. This method create Product instance from product.id represented as test in jsp form (section_edit.jsp).


public class ProductPropertyEditor extends PropertyEditorSupport{
    ...        
    @Override
    public void setAsText(final String text) {
        setValue(productDao.findById(Integer.parseInt(text)));
    }
    
}

section_edit.jsp

Expression ${allProducts} read model attribute allProduct setting in controller. It contain List of all products. As value of checkboxes tag attribute itemValue I set id. It use product.id value and this value can read method void setAsText:String from ProductPropertyEditor, when user submit form.

When tag checkboxes iterate items allProducts, then every Product from allProducts List is compare with Product from Section.products List. When they are the same, then will be rendered checkbox with checked attribute.

Checkbox will bee checked when Product from List of Section.products equals Product from List of allProduct.

You must override toString method in reference object (Product). It is very important behaviour of checkboxes tag from Spring checkboxes tag documentation.

question_edit.jsp

Conclusion

Checkbox is checked when:


  • Property is Collection or array and contains the same Object as wrapped Collection.

GnuPG

GnuPG ( GNU Privacy Guard ) is the GNU project's complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP standard. GnuPG allows to encrypt and sign your data and communication.

PGP use asymmetrics cryptography. It mean, that PGP use two keys.
  • private key
  • public key
Public key use to verification sign of private key. With public key you can also encrypt text. Decryption is possibly only with private key.
After generate your keys you must protect your private key and import your public key to Key server in Internet. Key server is repository of public PGP keys. You can search and take public keys of other people there.
If you want use GnuPG in comfortable way, you use Firefox plug-in FireGPG.

Create keys

$ gpg --gen-key

Please select what kind of key you want:
(1) DSA and Elgamal (default)
(2) DSA (sign only)
(5) RSA (sign only)
Your selection? 1
DSA keypair will have 1024 bits.
ELG-E keys may be between 1024 and 4096 bits long.
What keysize do you want? (2048) 2048
Requested keysize is 2048 bits
Please specify how long the key should be valid.
0 = key does not expire

Is this correct? (y/N) y

You need a user ID to identify your key; the software constructs the user ID
from the Real Name, Comment and Email Address in this form:
"Heinrich Heine (Der Dichter) "

Real name: Tomas Jurman
Email address: your@email.com
Comment:
You selected this USER-ID:

Change (N)ame, (C)omment, (E)mail or (O)kay/(Q)uit? O
You need a Passphrase to protect your secret key.

We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.

You can see your ID (hexadecimal number after slash - 09CEB475), identity (name and email address), expiration time and other.

Create revocation key

If You want to revoke your keys for reason If has been your keys compromised. (your private key become public known), you must prepare revocation keys.

It is good idea, prepare your revocation keys immediately after generate your keys. Because if you for example by mistake delete your private key, you can not generate your revocation keys. You can prepare revocation keys in advance, save revocation key to file and use in future if it you need.
$ gpg --gen-revoke 4CA09BBE
sec  1024D/4CA09BBE 2009-12-20 tomas jurman 

Create a revocation certificate for this key? (y/N) y
Please select the reason for the revocation:
0 = No reason specified
1 = Key has been compromised
2 = Key is superseded
3 = Key is no longer used
Q = Cancel
(Probably you want to select 1 here)
Your decision? 1
Enter an optional description; end it with an empty line:
> Key has been compromised
> My women bought my private notebook with my private keys.
>
Reason for revocation: Key has been compromised
Key has been compromised
My women bought my private notebook with my private keys.
Is this okay? (y/N) y

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "tomas jurman "
1024-bit DSA key, ID 4CA09BBE, created 2009-12-20

ASCII armored output forced.
Revocation certificate created.

Please move it to a medium which you can hide away; if Mallory gets
access to this certificate he can use it to make your key unusable.
It is smart to print this certificate and store it away, just in case
your media become unreadable.  But have some caution:  The print system of
your machine might store the data and make it available to others!

First you must delete private key and then public key.

Import your public key to Key server

For sending your public key to Key server you must determine your key ID.
$ gpg --send-keys 09CEB475
gpg: sending key 09CEB475 to hkp server keys.gnupg.net

Search public keys in Key server

$ gpg --search-key yourFriend@email.com

The key will bee find and GPG offer you to import key in your keys store.

Export public key to file

$ gpg -a --export your@email.com > my.key

Export secret key to file

gpg --export-secret-keys -a [id] > /home/tomas/mySecrKey.txt
Value Id is optional. If you dont use id, gpg export all yours secret keys

Import public key from file

$ gpg --import my.key

Encrypt file

$ gpg -ear 09CEB475 sourcerPlainText.txt
-e = encryt, -r = recipient, -o = output, -a = armor (to ascii)

Decrypt file

$ gpg -d encryptOutputFile.txt

Encrypt and Sign

gpg -esr 09CEB475 -u 16582121 sourcerPlainText.txt
This create .pgp file decript of recipient with ID 09CEB475 and sign of user with ID 16582121
-e = encrypt; -s - sign; -r = recipient; -u = user

Sign

  • $ gpg -s sourcerPlainText.txt
    Create .pgp file. Use compression and Contain source file data.
  • gpg --clearsign sourcerPlainText.txt
    Create .asc file. Dont use compression. Contain source file data.
  • gpg -b sourcerPlainText.txt
    Create .asc file. Create only sign, not contains data from file.
optional: -a = armor (to ascii); -u = user
gpg -bau 16582121 sourcerPlainText.txt

Fingerprint

gpg --fingerprint [ID | email]


Verify sign

You need 2 files. First file is Sign and second file contains some data for verify.
gpg --verify test.txt.sig test.txt

Create encrypt and sign file for SIMS

Every quarter of year we have to send encrypt and sign file to SIMS.
As -r (recipient) use ID or email address of Matrika studentu - sber dat
As -u (user) use your ID or your email address.
Don´t forget use switch --pgp6.
  1. gpg -easr sims@ics.muni.cz -u yourSchool@emailAddress.cz --pgp6 -o sims.pgp sims.xml
  2. gpg -easr 8E4E1C1C -u 16582121 --pgp6 -o sims.pgp sims.xml
