Context menu in ADF JDeveloper11g tp3

Has anyone attempted to create an AJAX style (right click) context menu in an ADF paradigm... specifically have an Oracle maps (div id="map") tempDef in which we've established a way to communicated between the OM server and the ADF context via a phase listener, now would like to have a context menu appear at the mouse event location (on the map) that has a ADF context and can be used to trigger ADF/javascript functions and send messages back to the ADF context... any hints, clues, advice or flames out there in Oracle land? Thanks Larry

Thanks Frank, I'll look into that. At this time, I'm using a different approach. The OracleMaps mapviewer is in a rather large (real-estate wise) div and all the mouse events inside or on the map are captured by mapviewer. Therefore to get back to a FacesContext or the ADFContext I need to send requests which are caught by the a phase listener, then I have access to the context, then I can set or use session variables etc between the map server and the adf application. On the map, the OracleMaps developers only expose a rather limited html interpreter therefore I can not use any af:components when displaying widgets on the map (or in the map space).
The biggest problem I did not see an answer to, was how to align a pop up(context menu) to absolute screen coordinates, all the align static variables seem to want to align the popup relative to some other af:component. This won't work on a map where the pop up should display where the mouse click occurs.
Hopefully you'll be able to see our humble WEB offering based on ADF tp3(4) and Oracle Maps11gtp2 for Cuyahoga County (Cleveland Ohio) soon. Though in beta I think it will be open to the public and invited guests, with the understanding that it is still a work in progress. But what do I know about politics, I'm just a programmer. No pressure, but I hope you guys release a RC version, if not a version one release of Fusion11g soon.

Context menu of adf tree not working properly in firefox

hi all,
I am creating a context menu using the context facet in <adf:tree>. Everything is working fine in both chrome and ie but the issue is with firefox.It's opening up the browser window and rarely showing up the context menu
Any help would be appreciated.
Here is the code
<af:tree value="#{bindings.FormSectionsView1.treeModel}" var="node"
selectionListener="#{bindings.FormSectionsView1.treeModel.makeCurrent}"
rowSelection="single" id="t1">
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:outputText value="#{node}" id="ot1"/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="contextMenu">
<af:popup childCreation="deferred" autoCancel="disabled" id="p1">
<af:menu text="menu 1" id="m2">
<af:commandMenuItem text="commandMenuItem 1" id="cmi1"/>
<af:commandMenuItem text="commandMenuItem 2" id="cmi2"/>
</af:menu>
</af:popup>
</f:facet>
</af:tree>
Thanks,
Raj

Raj,
Welcome to OTN. Always mention your JDev version (read through this announcement : https://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=56 )
Try running the tree demo in your browser and see if it works fine (Right click on any node to bring up the context menu).

ExpressionFactory expressionFactory =facesContext.getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
ValueExpression exp =expressionFactory.createValueExpression(elContext,"#{menuItemss.name}", Object.class);
but the exp is null.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thank you very much.

You might need a #

Context menu refresh issue in adf tree.

Hi All,
I am using jdeveloper 12.1.2.2.0.
I have a programmatically generated tree in which I have added two buttons in the context menu using context menu facet.
* I have selection listener in the tree and right click also selects the node.
There are two issues regarding the context menu:
1. If I right click the tree node, the context menu is showing only the two buttons I added and it is not showing the default expand/collapse, expand all/collapse all below and show as top options of context menu. Once I refresh the tree region doing some actions in the page, it is showing all the options.
2. The buttons I added inside the context menu have disabled conditions and the trigger is given for the parent container "popup" which will be triggered by tree node selection. The problem is that whenever I right click the tree node, the popup is refreshed because of the trigger and the expand/collapse functions are not working. If I right the same node again the functions are working fine.
How to resolve these issues?
Thanks in advance.

Context Menu in J2ME (LWUIT)

Hi All,
I have a requirement to have a drop down menu from header icon. I am currently using LWUIT. As far as i know we can have context menu from softkey command, but if we want to have separate menu. I am not sure how to do that. I have tried to used a dialog with list which will appear on click on icon in header. It is working fine, but with some issues. If user doesn't want to select any option, how to make menu disappear?
Any ideas or any other way in which we can achieve this?
Thanks in advance,

Context menu not working outside of JDev

Hi all,
RTFM replies welcomed, although I couldn't find anything.
I have a very simple application (ADF BC + ADF Faces, 11.1.1.1.0).
On one page, I have an af:table that lists departments; there is a context menu that allows me to right-click a row and go to an edit page. It works just fine using the WLS integrated in JDeveloper (on Windows). I have deployed the application to a 10.1.3.1 WLS (JRF installed properly) on Linux. The list page displays, context menu shows up, but when I choose the "edit" item in the context menu, nothing happens. I don't see anything interesting (or otherwise) in WLS log files.
Am I missing a configuration somewhere?
Thanks for any help (the app is the same app that I used for my ADF Essentials series on OTN, if anyone wants to download it - I'm trying to get one last wrinkle ironed on the last article, and they are good to go - so anyone who helps here, I'll give them a kudo in the article!).
I can post the content of the PPR requests and responses if that helps someone (yay, Firebug!)
As an update - I've tried all major browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome - sorry Opera) and get the same results.
Best,
John

John,
I had to make some changes. The app I got from your series contained only an empty page flow and empty pages. I added the DepartmentList.jspx and DepartmentEdit.jspx to the adfc-config.xml. I added the navigation editDepartment from DepartmentLits to DepartmentEdit in the task flow.
Because of the empty pages I'd put a read only table on the DepartmentList, added the code from your post to the contextMenu facet, added an edit form on the DepartmentEdit.jspx page.
Tested it in jdev -> OK
deployed the app on my test wls server -> OK
So nothing fancy.
Is the WLS on OpenSuse 11.2 RC a 64bit installation?
I remember seeing strange behavior on a ubuntu 9.04 64bit installation had used before. My app runs fine on 32bit ubuntu 9.04 but i got errors when the app was hosted on the 64bit server. Never investigated it further because at work we are using SLSE and it's working there.
Anyway I'll mail you the workspace I used.
Keep me posted :-)

Using Xcode to develop a Finder plugin (context menu)?

Hiya-
I'm trying various approaches to a project. It will basically act on one or more files selected in the Finder. I could make it a simple droplet app, or I could trigger it from the Script menu, but I would prefer to make it a Contextual Menu plugin for the Finder. The scope of the project, while relatively simple, is a bit beyond what I can do with Automator, so I don't think its Finder context menu for workflows will suffice.
Can anybody point me in the direction of the best way to go about this? I am learning Xcode; I have gone through the tutorials, and am ready to further my ability while applying it to a specific objective.
Any suggestions or advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Drewstre

Hi PhiLho and Surikov,
Thanks for your replies. Maybe my explanation on the problem is not clear enough..
Many ppl here might have experience with Oracle JDeveloper. If I create a new web application and add one task flow to it, I could double-click the task flow and build up an empty .jsff file. On that particular page I'm allowed to add any components as I like. But whatever, in the end I need to set up a new .jspx file and drag the task flow into the file to create region before running the project. (JDeveloper integrated an internal weblogic server.)
Now what I'm attempting is to include my JavaFX applet into the ADF task flow (instead of the normal .jsff file). This requires me to run the JavaFX applet from web page first, which is similar to .jsff. But I really dunno whether I'm able to this since I used Netbeans to develop my JavaFX but JDeveloper for creating task flow. They are really, two different platforms.
I've been spending 1.5 months developing my JavaFX UI and it's really a large and consummate project now. Running it from ADF task flow is probably the last and crucial requirement. If not being implemented successfully, all of my previous work on UI would not be appreciated.
Crazy with this.... Lend me a hand, please!

IE Context menu displays instead of app context menu in application

Hi,
In our application, in one of page we are using the af:treeTable and we have defined a context menu for the same in the contextMenu facet. The context menu is rightly displayed in Firefox, Chrome etc browsers. But in IE, the context menu is not displayed. Additionally after navigating out of this page, if we go to any page which has af:treeTable and a context menu defined, in that page also the app context menu is not displayed. Instead a IE popup menu is displayed upon right click on af:treeTable.
In order to get through this problem, only way for us is to logout of the application and relogin again.
Is there any bug in ADF which is specific to Internet Explorer browser, which disables the display of the application context menu? Or is there any state change notification sent to the browser which disables the display of the context menu. This is a very serious issue for us as in the complete application the context menu is not displayed without relogging into the application. We have this bug # 13617425 for this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is a major issue for the release of our application.
regards,
Chandra.

Hi,
if this works on IE 7 you can force the app to run in IE7 compatibility mode
See "Run ADF Faces applications with IE 9 in IE 8 compatibility mode" http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/april2011-otn-harvest-367335.pdf
Works the same for IE8 to IE7. This then gives you a solution for until the issue is solved
Btw.: If users click onto the folder icon (not the text, which brings up the tool tip) then the context menu work. I'll file a bug anyway

Context menu for tree node cannot be accessed in IE 8 (Jdev 11.1.2)

We use an af:tree with context menus for performing operations on each node. In IE 8 when you hover over a node before right clicking, "tooltip" text appears which basically just re-displays the text of the node. Even though the tooltip text is annoying, the context menu worked fine in 11.1.1.4, but now in 11.1.2 when you right-click on that tooltip text you get the "normal" browser context menu for text -- we no longer get our custom context menu.
You can see this same problem on the tree in the rich faces demo: http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/
Sometimes, if you're quick enough, you can get the custom context menu to work, but it seems that once you've hovered long enough over one node to get the standard context menu, you're stuck and any node you click on will display the browser's normal context menu.
This is a big problem for us because we rely on these context menus and most of our administrative users are on IE 8. Is there a workaround or can the tooltip text somehow be shut off? It doesn't appear in Firefox so Firefox works fine.
Thanks.

Create Data Control not showing in EJB Session Bean context menu

Hi All,
I've been studying the new Oracle Application Development Framework Tutorial for 10g Release 3 (10.1.3). When I get to page 2-16 (page 31 of the PDF doc) it says to create ADF Data Control. Specifically is says " In the Applications Navigator, right-click the SRPublicFacadeBean.java node and choose Create Data Control from the context menu."
But my context menu doesnt have the Create Data Control option. I double checked that I didn't miss a step in the tutorial. I'm sure it's something simple. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is there another way to create the Data Control for an EJB Session Bean?
Thanks,
Cary

I downloaded "jdevstudio1013.zip " and I still don't have this context menu?
What are the steps to correct this?
Thanks,
--Todd
Figured it out. I was having an extension issue and I had to turn off all of my extensions. Thus, turned on the ADF extension (duh!) and all was well.

I have exposed the method in the local interface.
I start the integrated server in the debug mode
When I right-click there is no option to do the sample client.
Am I missing a plug-in - like JUnit or something?
From the manual:
The integrated Oracle WebLogic Server runs within JDeveloper. You can run and test EJBs quickly and easily using this server, and then deploy your EJBs with no changes to them. You do not need to create a deployment profile to use this server, nor do you have to initialize it.
To run a sample client on the integrated Oracle WebLogic Server: In the Application Navigator, right-click on an EJB and choose Run.
Notice in the Message pane that Oracle WebLogic Server has been launched. Right-click on an EJB and choose Create Sample Java Client from the context menu. The default choice is to create a client for the integrated Oracle WebLogic Server, so click OK.
The client is created and opens in the code editor. If your session bean serves as a facade over JPA entities, code is generated to instantiate the query methods. If you exposed methods on your bean, the generated client contains methods that can be uncommented to call them.
After your EJB has been successfully started from the Application Navigator, right-click on the sample client and choose Run.

Shay,
Pretty much what I did exactly - except - since my apps are all using the local interface - I did not create the remote.
This may be an old habit - but generally it is not a good practice to do both - though this may have changed lately.
I have this app working and the EJBs are executing fine.
I used a testview and drug the method onto it - and was able to debug it that way - but still no create java client in the menu.
Is there any other place to find this other than the context menu? Then I can check to see if it is available.
I am using WLS 10.3 that ships with Jdev 11.1.1.3 (forgot that little bit) without any changes.

How to remove or hide toolbar context menu in visual studio IDE

Hi All,
Currently we are extending Visual studio and it's functionality.
As we know, we can have different categories of tool bars like standard, build, debug etc shown in pic -
or we can access the categories via - View Main Menu -> Toolbars
Basically My requirement is that, I don't want to show these options (Build, Debug, Debug Location, Layout, customize , Text Editor, Standard etc) shown in context menu or shown in submenu.
How can I achieve it ? Please advice.

AFAIK, you can only customize it manually, but can't hide the builtin menus:

or maybe you can try vsct:

Playlists missing but still in context menu

Macbook Pro 13" 2013 running Mavericks and latest versions of both Mavericks and iTunes.
This is a bit of a weird issue. At some point in the last few weeks iTunes decided to update itself from 7.0 despite the fact that I said NO every time the opportunity popped up. Then lo and behold, I open it one day and it's a newer version - fricking gremlins.
Anyway, after this update my library and playlists had disappeared. I figured I would just open a previous library, but for some reason the newest previous library was several months old and didn't have some playlists.
While it's not a major issue to remake those missing playlists, what's irritating me is that they're in the context menu when I right click. I can even add music to them. But I can't see the playlist. And when I add a song to one of these missing playlists, the "Show in Playlist" menu item doesn't list these missing playlists. The major problem is an overlap in names - an old playlist and a new replacement playlist with the same name and I'm accidentally adding to the old, not new.
Anyone have ANY idea what the heck is going on here?
As an addition, I have the old playlists on my phone (iPhone 4) still. I haven't synced the phone since this problem came up because it wants to erase everything on my phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

You aren't the only one. I did NOT upgrade to the latest Itunes version recently but upon entering Itunes today my playlists were all gone (and I spend a lot of time organizing playlists). Found a previous .itl (Itunes library file) and was able to save a lot of playlists but the .itl file was 6 months old so all updates made to playlists since then are gone. I may have lost more and am still determining loss but I really hate it when work is lost - I've been an Itunes user since it first came out and this is a regular experience.
Suggested update for Apple would be to create more historical .itl files (could be daily with user choices as to how many and naming conventions). .itl files can be big so there would have to be file reuse or some means to not overwhelm the user's computer with unused files.

I want to access the options in the context menu when clicking on a dropdown list in the bookmarks toolbar, but the context menu disappears when I try to click on one of the options. How can I keep the menu from disappearing?

I have several dropdown lists in my bookmarks toolbar and would like to access the properties for some of the the items. This used to work fine. However, now, when I go to the list and place the cursor on a particular item, the context menu that is usually available on a right click disappears when I try to access one of the options. This is the menu that begins with Open. What can I do to regain this functionality? I really need the information in the Properties section. I'm using Firefox 3.6.8

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
Also check the Mouse driver settings in the Control Panel.

Right click on the mail list doesn't open the context menu any more.

Hi everybody,
Thunderbird stoped to show the context menu on the mail list recently. Right click just prints the crossing line. What the problem could it be?
Thanks anyone for any help.

Very odd.
Right click on email in list should open a drop down selection.
Usually a crossed line through something denotes that it is marked as deleted in an imap mail account.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Deleting_messages_in_IMAP_accounts
See if there is a conflict with an addon.
Restart Thunderbird in safe mode.
Help > Restart with addons disabled.
then perform the same test; right click on email in list.
Do you get the drop down, if yes, then one of your addons is causing the conflict.
You would have to disbale each in turn to locate which one is the problem.
Maybe the addon needs updating.
Report back on results.

I have the same problem too. When i restarted with addons disablem problem dissapeared but when i switch to normal mode and disable all off the plugins and addons the problem still remains.
Please help.
