Javascript Functions

JavaScript Functions -- Inferences

  1. Functions are fundamental modular units.
  2. Functions are Objects
  3. Every object has object.protoype property which is used for inheritance.
  4. Functions also have a Prototype property that is internally connected to Object.prototype.
  5. Function .prototype is a constructor property whose value is the function itself.
  6.  Since they are objects they can be passed as objects.
  7. When a function is invoked with .(Dot) or [Subscript] then the function becomes a method. 
  8. The Function by default gets "arguments" as default argument even if it is not present in function signature however it is not exactly an array object but has "length" property.
  9. This Keyword
    • If a function is defined within an Object and when function is invoked with that object."This" is tied to object. 
    • Any Object is used to invoke function accessing "This" will retrive that objectinside function scope.
    • When we use Nested Functions "This" will always refer to global object so the nested function cannot access the variables of the outer function.This is actually a defect of javascript whenever a nested function is invoked java script loses the scope and so it binds "This" to window object.However there are ways to retrieve outer function properties
       Eg :  
    • MyObject.double=function()
                  {

                     var that =this; // if this assignment copies the this object to the variable and makes it 
                           //avaliable for nested functions.
                     var helper=function()
                         {
                      that.value=add(that.value,1); //
                       alert(this);// will print window object
                         }
                       helper();
                     }
         
    • MyObject.double=function()
                  {
                     var that =this; // if this assignment copies the this object to the variable and makes it 
                           //avaliable for nested functions.
                     var helper=function()
                         {
                      that.value=add(that.value,1); //
                       alert(this);// will print window object
                         }
                     this.call(helper,' '); // Use apply or call here and the "This Object" 
                                                   //will be visible inside with proper scope.
                     }

Field or property 'jobParameters' cannot be found on object of type 'org.springframework.beans.factory.config.BeanExpressionContext' - Spring Batch

This Error happens when you are trying to retrieve a Job Execution parameter and inject it into a Bean. The bean can be anything a Task let, or a StatmentSetter the error can happen. E.g Implementation <bean id = "flatFileItemReader" scope="step" class="org.springframework.batch.item.file.FlatFileItemReader"> <property name = "resource" value = "#{jobParameters[input.file.name]}" /> </bean> The error is because of the Scope parameter missing Using a scope of  Step  is required in order to use late binding since the bean cannot actually be instantiated until the  Step  starts, which allows the attributes to be found. Because it is not part of the Spring container by default, the scope must be added explicitly. Check out the Documentation here ..  http://docs.spring.io/spring-batch/reference/html/configureStep.html#step-scope

java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException: Only RSAPrivate(Crt)KeySpec and PKCS8EncodedKeySpec supported for RSA private keys

public PrivateKey getPrivateKey(String fileName) throws IOException, InvalidKeySpecException, NoSuchAlgorithmException { byte[] keyFileBytes = readKeyFile(fileName); X509EncodedKeySpec spec = new X509EncodedKeySpec(keyFileBytes); KeyFactory kf = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA"); return kf.generatePrivate(spec); } The reason is this line, This is used to read public key spec and not private key. The private key is read via PKCS8EncodedKeySpec spec = new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec ( keyBytes ); So as the error says it needs to be in PKCS8 spec format for java to understand.
