How to set markerOptions of a chart in primefacess

Primefaces uses jqplot to draw charts, but all configuration options of charts are not provided by primefaces. For example, you have a LineChartSeries object and you will draw it on a LineChartModel. There are only two configuration parameters(style and show) for marker (this option presents in LineChartSeries class) although there are more in jqplot API. What will you do if you want to set size of a marker? What about the color?
Well, there is a way to do it and it is INJECTION! When you look at it the source code you will see a json-formatted string to pass markerOptions in encode function of LineChartSeries class:


writer.write(",markerOptions:{show:" + this.isShowMarker()+ ", style:'" + this.getMarkerStyle() + "'}");
You can properly set markerStyle property whose type is String so that you can set size option when markerOptions is passed. Pay attention to single quotes. This is my injection :


myLineChartSeriesObj.setMarkerStyle("dash', size:'3.0");
Now you have just set size property of the marker. You can also set other marker options provided in jqPlot API by using this way.

Happy injection!

Migration from Proxmox to Openstack

I needed to migrate virtual machines in proxmox to openstack. VMs are in raw format. I needed to take some actions for a succesfull migration. I have perform all actions on Ubuntu 12.04 with virt-manager. qemu-kvm is installed. Here is the list of actions that I took: First, close the machine and copy the image file into your Ubuntu. Convert raw image to qcow2 format: qemu-img convert -O qcow2 image1.raw image1.qcow2 You need the image in qcow2 format for compatibility with openstack platform.  Open the converted image in virt-manager. Before opening, edit disk options. Under ' advanced options ' section, select ' qcow2 ' as ' storage forma t '. Start the virtual machine. You should see the login screen soon. (If you don't set storage format, vm will not find a bootable device. )   If everything is ok so far, close the vm. Take qcow2 image and upload it into glance. It may take time depending on size of it. After this process is completed, open a...

How to avoid API-level warning of Android Studio

Before giving the solution, let's start with a scenario. setSelectionFromTop() is a new method in Android Lollipop API. This method is basically beneficial to precisely keep scroll state of a ListView. By keeping that info, a developer can go back to old scroll state after doing some operation like data set change. You are aware of API level and you do your control before you call this function: if (currentapiVersion >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) { srlistview.setSelectionFromTop(index, top); } But if project minSdk is set to a lower level (in this case it is 15), this warning will still be displayed in Android Studio:
