[Rd] How to create a table structure in Java code?

Hi all,

Using RConsole, it's easy to get data from the database that you can use in
an R Command. Like this:

(Reference case)

irisQuery <- dbGetQuery(conn, "select * from iris")
boxM(irisQuery [,-5], irisQuery[,5])

----

(Actual case this posting is about)

Yet, if I'm getting that same (sample IRIS) data, say, in a web service
possibly POSTED from a SQL command, that same data might look like this (portion
of the included iris data set below). I'm thus not sure how to package the
data so R likes it.

Example R-included IRIS data from SQL output:

5.1,3.5,1.4,0.2,setosa,
4.9,3,1.4,0.2,setosa,
4.7,3.2,1.3,0.2,setosa,
4.6,3.1,1.5,0.2,setosa,
5,3.6,1.4,0.2,setosa,

I've tried various combinations in code to achieve what's simple in
RConsole, but I can't get R to accept my structure.

- I've tried just including the data in a string.
- I've tried wrapping the data with "data"
- I've tried wrapping the data with "data.frame" (as below).

Here's my latest attempt:

String tableRead = "data.frame(5.1,3.5,1.4,0.2,setosa\n" +
"4.9,3,1.4,0.2,setosa\n" +
"4.7,3.2,1.3,0.2,setosa\n" +
"4.6,3.1,1.5,0.2,setosa\n" +
"5,3.6,1.4,0.2,setosa)" ;

// using parseAndEval below to give me actual error R is sending...
REXP rResponseObject =
rConnection.parseAndEval("try(eval("+tableRead+"),silent=TRUE)");
if (rResponseObject.inherits("try-error"))
{
     System.out.println("R Serve Eval Exception :
"+rResponseObject.asString());
}
REXP boxMResult = rConnection.eval("boxM("+ tableRead+
"[,-5]," + tableRead + "[, 5])");  // FAILS <<

----

Error in the above case is:

Disconnected from the target VM, address: '127.0.0.1:51356', transport:
'socket'
org.rosuda.REngine.REngineException: eval failed, request status: R parser:
syntax error
at org.rosuda.REngine.Rserve.RConnection.parseAndEval(RConnection.java:454)
at org.rosuda.REngine.REngine.parseAndEval(REngine.java:108)
at
net.example.start_r_fromjava.RStatisticsExample.main(RStatisticsExample.java:151)

Does the POSTed data need to be in a different format or am I just not framing
it correctly?

Would appreciate any tips on how to package table data that might come from a
SQL Query passed to Java code.

Thanks very much in advance,

- M

I suspect that you are looking for something like:

read.csv(textConnection(
"5.1,3.5,1.4,0.2,setosa
4.9,3,1.4,0.2,setosa
4.7,3.2,1.3,0.2,setosa
4.6,3.1,1.5,0.2,setosa
5,3.6,1.4,0.2,setosa"
), header = FALSE)

[Rd] How to create a table structure in Java code?

That's amazing! Thank you!!!

One follow up question, if that's OK?

If, instead of using hard-coded CSV, I read the CSV into a variable first, then
it fails again with a parse error.

Code below.

So, if I read the CSV into a variable, do I need an additional wrapper method?

Seems like it should still work.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

 -M

String inputIris = "5.1,3.5,1.4,0.2,setosa\n" +
"4.9,3,1.4,0.2,setosa\n" +
"4.7,3.2,1.3,0.2,setosa\n" +
"4.6,3.1,1.5,0.2,setosa\n" +
"5,3.6,1.4,0.2,setosa\n" +
"5.4,3.9,1.7,0.4,setosa\n" +
"4.6,3.4,1.4,0.3,setosa";

REXP irisData =rConnection.eval(
"read.csv(textConnection(" + inputIris + "), header =
FALSE)");
