Issue with inflector.jar

[RafaelViana]

I'm studying Restfulie to use in a project. So, I cloned it from
github and configured the build path.

I ran the ClientTests from rest_from_scratch_part_1_client project.
But, I get a NullPointerException in the line 84 in the XmlMediaType
class.

Line: names.add(Character.toLowerCase(plural.charAt(0)) +
plural.substring(1));

This exception is happening because the variable plural: String plural
= Noun.pluralOf(type.getSimpleName());

Then, I created a new project just using the inflector-0.7.0.jar and
run this test: System.out.println(Noun.pluralOf("teste"));
The output was also null.

What do I need to configure to use inflector?

Hi Rafael,

It seems like an issue of localization, did you try to change the
inflector to use portuguese rules? Can you also try with "test"?

The exception happens because library doesn't have a default locale.

Tests:

System.out.println(Noun.pluralOf("loaf")); //Like in the restful-
client
Output: null

System.out.println(Noun.pluralOf("loaf", Locale.ENGLISH));
Output: loaves

System.out.println(Noun.pluralOf("loaf", Locale.ITALY));
Output: loaf

Why don't you getting this exception?
My OS's language is Portuguese and yours? Maybe the inflector load the
locale from the OS?

=====

Considered I want to add a inflection to Restfulie. Can I? (The
inflector lets extends the RuleBasedPluralizer class to add
inflections).

I looked at the inflector project's tests and It's right.
If there isn't a locale the return is null.

In the test:
assertThat(pluralOf("loaf", CHINESE), NULL);

I'll try to implement portuguese rules using inflector.

[RafaelViana]

If the Restfulie implements a RuleBasedPlurarizer. Is there a way to
externalize this configuration to work like Ruby?
I'll try to fork the project tonight to show this ( I don't have
experience with git).

It will be something like:

br.com.caelum.restfulie.config

public class Inflections extends RuleBasedPluralizer
{
... all the rules
}

And use this class in the XMLMediaType.java:

String plural = Noun.pluralOf(type.getSimpleName(), new
Inflections());

The inflections will be contained inside Restfulie instead Inflection
library. It will be easier to add exceptions.
The best would be externalize this configuration to whom will use the
Restfulie. But, I can't imagine how.

Great idea!

maybe you should use an English inflector by default when implementing Inflections too.

we can configure it the same way as media types, via Restfulie.custom()

Hi Rafael,

Go ahead with it, it makes sense. If you commit it somewhere while deving it, just let us know and we can get u some feedback..

Please take a look at the fork.

https://github.com/RafaelRViana/restfulie-java

I needed to made the Restfulie like a singleton to access the
RestClient from the XmlMediaType.
I'll try to find other way to implement it, what do you think?

Today I spent more time configuring the github to fork the project
than working on the code rsrs

Hi,

I did the changes like you can see at the commit's conversation.
I think now it's better.
