How to save Large html(data) content with Play framewrok, MongoDB and Scala

Hi all,

While I was working on a project I had to save large content of data from text area filed in a form.
I'm using Play Framework 2.0.2 as a web framework and using scala html templates as views.

I have text area filed in my form to add html data (Actually here I'm using ace.js  that is high quality code editor. Ill give brief introduction to ace later).

Ok Here I do not post form binding with model class but just think that there is a simple model class lets say Page. Most important thing is the saving part of this program. Here I have posted my save definition(function).




def save = Action(parse.urlFormEncoded(maxLength = 1024 * 1000)) 
            { implicit request =

          //More code goes here.. I have not posted

          Page.save(pageForm)

          Redirect(Pages.show(

            new ObjectId(page))).flashing("message" -> 
            "Page Saved !!!")

        }

      })

  }
Important part of the above code snippet is

parse.urlFormEncoded(maxLength = 1024 * 1000)

It accepts  1000 KB of data. default length is 100 KB. I have to save 600KB of data (from text area) and without above code browser is hanging and data is not saved and ultimately browser is stopped.

Upload CSV file using opencsv with Play 2.0.2, Scala and MongoDB

Hi Everyone... Today I'm going to explain you that how we could upload a CSV file with list of products to the MongoDB table. The way I'm describing here might me inefficient but still it is useful. We know that Scala is running on JVM and so that we can use any java library with Scala . I will use OpenCSV as a CSV parser for this program. OpenCSV is a CSV parser library for Java. No matter it is for java here we will use it with Scala. First we should have MongoDB up and running. Include following opencsv dependency in your build file. I'm using SBT as building tool. "net.sf.opencsv" % "opencsv" % "2.1" Here next I will create view file. Name of this file will be 'index.scala.html'. @(message: String)(implicit request: RequestHeader, flash:Flash, l: Lang=Lang("en")) @import play.api.i18n._ @import views.html.helper._ @main(message, null) { //print messages @if(flash.data.contains("message")){ ...

Scala : not enough arguments for constructor : ()

not enough arguments for constructor : ( ) Here Im trying to create new Object from case class in scala, but I get this error withing my following code. def getTax(id: ObjectId): models.Tax = { models.Tax.findOne(MongoDBObject("_id" -> id)) .getOrElse(new models.Tax) // this line is generating error } It says that it cannot build a new Tax object without providing the constructor arguments. That is correct, If we want to buld an object we should provide constructor arguments. Just take a look at my Tax class. case class Tax( id: ObjectId = new ObjectId, var name: String, var description: String, var defaultFlag: Boolean, var rate: List[Rate] = List.empty ){ } I have specified default values for id field and rate field but what about name, description and defaultFlag field. There are no default values for them. So if we want to create and object like this 'new models.Tax' (which means without passing arguments to constructor), you should pr...

Way to Resolve 'no persistent classes found for query class'

Last few days I had experience about this issue. I was developing test application with Spring 3, Hibernate 3.3.1, Maven 3 and Jboss 5.0. I had a class called Employer and it was annotated. Here I have given sample. This is under the package hrm.com.domain. @Entity @Table(name="employer") public class Employer { @Id @Column(name="ID") @GeneratedValue private Integer id; My application was Spring MVC application and Im not going to post all the source code here. I had following configuration files. 1. hibernate.cfg.xml 2. spring-servlet.xml 3. web.xml Here is javax.persistence dependency in my POM.xml file. (I have only post here is important part) javax.persistence persistence-api 1.0 Then I built the application and copy the war file into jboss_home/server/default/deploy directory. Then Server is started. Server is started without any issue. Interested thing happened when I run the application in the web browser. Application needs to list down all the employ...
