on-the-fly

I have to monitor an XML file being written by a tool running all the day. But the XML file is properly completed and closed only at the end of the day. Same constraints as XML stream processing: Parse an incomplete XML file on-the-fly and trigger actions Keep track of the last position within the file to avoid processing it again from the beginning On answer of Need to read XML files as a stream using BeautifulSoup in Python , slezica suggests xml.sax , xml.etree.ElementTree and cElementTree . But no success with my attempts to use xml.etree.ElementTree and cElementTree . There are also xml

I'm writing .NET On-the-Fly compiler for CLR scripting and want execution method make generic acceptable: object Execute() { return type.InvokeMember(..); } T Execute<T>() { return Execute() as T; /* doesn't work: The type parameter 'T' cannot be used with the 'as' operator because it does not have a class type constraint nor a 'class' constraint */ // also neither typeof(T) not T.GetType(), so on are possible return (T) Execute(); // ok } But I think operator as will be very useful: if result type isn't T method will return null , instead of an exception! Is it possible to do? You need to add

I'm stuck in a problem where I need to set reference of my object being parsed to its child objects during deserialization using Gson and InstanceCreator . To depict the problem, following is the simple representation of classes' structure. public class Workshift { private final transient Context context; private final Visit visit; public Workshift(Context context) { this.context = context; this.visit = new Visit(this); } } public class Visit { private final transient Workshift workshift; public Visit(Workshift ws) { this.workshift = ws; } } With this structure, I am able to set Context in

In Java, is it possible to create a class definition on the fly while an application is running, and then create an object of that class? For example, a running application would read in a text file that contains a list of class members to include in the new class. The application would then define a class definition based on the list of members, and then insantiate it. Yes its possible to do so in theory your class file is byte code which is at the end a byte array! you can then use the method defineClass(String, byte[], int, int) to get a Class instance that can be used to instantiate
