Doubt in WebStyle search form in ADF

Hi,
I do have a search form as in the following url.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/muench/screencasts/threesearchpages/threesearchforms_partone.html?_template=/ocom/technology/content/print
The 'SearchView' has three entity objects in it. One entity is the main table with a primary key. And the other two has the foreign key of the main table and it has multiple records for the same primary key of the main table. So now if I drag and drop this 'SearchView' as a adf search form, the result shows multiple results for the same primary key of the main table as it has multiple occurence in the other two tables.
So in this scenario, is it possible for me to display the results only from the main table? That is I want to see only one result for the primary key. But at the same time I need other entity objects also in the search view.
Or can you suggest me any other way to do this? Please help me.
Thanks,
Priya.S

Jan and Steve,
Thanks so much for the reply. But I am still confused with my case.
There are three entities.
1. Bill info (All main info with a request Id as a primary key, with the final status )
2. Bill status history (Different status history for the same request id)
3. Bill items (Different items to be billed for the same request id)
My requirement is that I need to have a search page to find the requests using the request id and other criteria. The result(billInfoviewresult) is a adf table with the request ids which is given with a command link. So using the link, I can navigate to the actual request. This result page should have all the above three entities. i.e. a read and write table for the item entity with the old values and a adf creation form for the 'Status history' so that the user can change the status (the status should be inserted as a new row. The DB should have all the status history from 'new' to 'completed').Everything should be for that particular request id.
I had a viewobject only for the bill info entity so that the result was a single occurence for a requestid. But I find difficulty in creating a status and item table as it always points to the first record in the data base. And when I manually change the data to set to this particular request, I do get null values. Because of this I wanted to add all these entities into a single viewobject. But getting multiple occurence for the same id in the result.
Can you please give me any suggestion in building the correct viewobject to acheive this?
Thanks,
Priya

Problems with custom search form in adf

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.4. please can you help with this issue?
I've created a custom search form with the help from this link.
Jdeveloper,Oracle ADF &amp; Java: Implementing custom search form in ADF programmatically (Without using af:query)
I've created two bind variables SkuBind & ImperfectBind and a View Criteria.
My problem is when I press Search button, it does not filter based on values of the bind variables in the View Criteria.
I rightly get bind variable values in the System output though
Skubind = 1000
Imperfectbind = N
but there is no where clause
where clause = null
public void SearchOddShoes(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
AppModuleImpl am = (AppModuleImpl)resolvElDC("AppModuleDataControl");
ViewObject oddShoeVo = am.getRtnOddShoesVO1();
oddShoeVo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("SkuBind", skuPgBind.getValue());
oddShoeVo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("ImperfectBind", imperfectPgBind.getValue());
System.out.print("Named Skubind = " + oddShoeVo.getNamedWhereClauseParam("SkuBind") +"\n");
System.out.print("Named Imperfectbind = " + oddShoeVo.getNamedWhereClauseParam("ImperfectBind") +"\n");
System.out.print("where clause = " + oddShoeVo.getWhereClause()+"\n");
System.out.print("where clause params= " + oddShoeVo.getWhereClauseParams()+"\n");

           FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
           Application app = fc.getApplication();
           ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
           ELContext elContext = fc.getELContext();
           ValueExpression valueExp =
                   elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext, "#{data." + data + ".dataProvider}", Object.class);
           return valueExp.getValue(elContext);
thanks

Not clear what part of the code doesn't work. Assuming that you did check that the code you wrote executed
the problem may be the following.
You need to add partial trigger on the destination component.
Add ...
oddShoeVo.executeQuery();
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(HERE_THE_BIND_NAME_OF_YOUR_TABLE);
Also I don't see that you acctually use View Criteria. There are specific way to apply View Criteria programatically and I don't see that you use it.
The simpliest way is just to change the VO query to embed bind variables into the query
E.G.
select 1
from dual
where some_column= :P_PARAM1

Jdev 10.1.13 EA1 - search form (BC + ADF faces) with date field

Did anyone tried to make a simple search form with BC,( just draging view form control palette to faces page?)
Because when i did it and tried to search by one date field (for example orderDate) i got exception:
oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.convert.ConvertException: Could not convert instance:Wed Sep 07 00:00:00 CEST 2005 of type:class java.util.Date into type:class java.lang.String
Is it a bug?
I tried to use converDateTime component but it haven't fixed the problem.
Bart.

Hi,
Business Components doesn't perform type conversion. This is the problem I see. Basicaly the expected format is String
Could not convert instance:Wed Sep 07 00:00:00 CEST 2005 of type:class java.util.Date into type:class java.lang.String
Is you date field really a date field ?

How to Enable the LOV to query for partial user entries in af:query in an ADF search form

Hi guys,
I have faced one issue in creating a search form in ADF, in that I have used af:query and table region. and I have attached an lov vo to the base vo for the list of values and given UI hint as Input values with List of values. Now the issue is that I have given auto submit property as true so when I give some value suppose "Jan-14" and tab out it gives me all the correct results. but if I give like "Jan%" and then tab out then it does not give me any value. Could you kindly help me with some solution. I am using Jdev 11.1.1.6.0.
Thanks,
Tanmoy

To enable the LOV to query for partial user entries, we can trap the 'LaunchPopupListener' event and add custom code there. Within the af:query component, just wondering how can we set property the 'LaunchPopupListener' for the search criteria ?

How To create ADF Search form in JDeveloper 11g 11.1.1.0.1

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 11g 11.1.1.0.1 , in which i tried creating an ADF search form that has Find and Execute Buttons.
I created the same ADF search form using JDeveloper 11g TP3 and TP4 wherein it works fine but not in JDeveloper 11g 11.1.1.0.1.
Scenario....
I dragged a read only view object on to the jspx page as ADF Search Form and dragged the same as Read only table.
After doing this if i run the application the search functionality does not happen .
( I click on the find button and enter the condition and then click on the execute button. records does not get filtered based on that condition specified.)
But when the same steps is done in 11g TP3 and TP4 the search functionalty works fine.
Can someone suggest me what is the issue.
Is this a bug in the new release.

vinitha

ADF UIX Search Form - Is this a bug?

I created a JDev 9.0.5.2 ADF UIX Search form from the component palette. I ran the page without making any changes. I chose the Find button which displayed the search criteria. I selected the delete button and then the create button, which created 2 blank records (possible bug?) in the search criteria table at the top. I selected one of the blank records and entered search criteria. I chose the submit button which changed the data in the search criteria table as it is supposed to do. I selected the other blank record, entered search criteria and submitted it. Again the data in the search criteria table was changed appropriately. I selected the delete button and the wrong record was deleted (bug?).
Are these bugs?

Hello,
a similar sort of situation is created if you have a Read-only table on a page which drills down to an edit/create input form page. If you enable a create functionality you need to enable some way for the user to back out of the created record and clean up the newly created row. On the detail page (JobsEdit.do) i created a link to a custom event on the master page action (JobsView.do) like this:
<button text="Cancel" destination="JobsView.do?event=cancelinput"/> In the Data Action class for the JobsView page i have a method defined as follows:
public void onCancelinput(DataActionContext ctx)
Row row = ctx.getBindingContainer().getApplicationModule().findViewObject("JobsView1").getCurrentRow();
row.refresh(row.REFRESH_REMOVE_NEW_ROWS );
}as a workaround, it sounds like you may need put some manual controls in place to tightly control any newly created rows which have/will not been used. I don't know if this will resolve the deleting wrong record problem...

ADF 11g: How to implement search form with automatic substring search

We have ADF search form and result table on the same page. Say, VO that this search form is based upon is famous Employee table from HR schema. What we need is a logic when user enters partial employee first name ie: 'jo'...it should return 'john', johnny, joanne etc...
just like if user would use wildcard %
What worked in 10g ADF was something like this:
        AccessServiceImpl svc = (AccessServiceImpl)JSFUtils.EL("#{data.AccessService.dataProvider}");
        BirthViewNewImpl b = svc.getBirthViewNew();
        ViewCriteria vc = b.getViewCriteria();
        String staffId = JSFUtils.getFromSession("staffId").toString();
        String studyId = JSFUtils.getFromSession("studyId").toString();
        if (vc != null) {
            System.out.print("BR " + studyId + " " + staffId + " ");
            AttributeDef[] defs = vc.getViewObject().getAttributeDefs();
            Iterator criteriaRows = vc.iterator();
            while (criteriaRows.hasNext()) {
                ViewCriteriaRow r = (ViewCriteriaRow)criteriaRows.next();
                if (r != null) {
                    for (int j = 0, numAttrs = defs.length; j < numAttrs; j++) {

                                 System.out.print(col + "=" + val + " ");//just to see what is going on
             System.out.println("");
        b.searchRecords();//method in VO that executes query
         * This is now very wrong.... Very artificial way to eliminate % from the UI
         if (vc != null) {
             AttributeDef[] defs = vc.getViewObject().getAttributeDefs();
             Iterator criteriaRows = vc.iterator();

                                 val = val.substring(0,val.length()-1);//return to normal

What is the best practice to achieve this functionality in 11g?

Or use a catsearch index or a contains index in your query. The will preform much better for large datasets as it doesn't do a full table scan.

After query clear ADF search form

I have a adf search form with a date picker. When I push the search button I go to my view object class to change the query
String criteria3 = (String)vcr.getAttribute("Datenaiss");
if (attrs.getName()=="Datenaiss"){
if (criteria3 != null) {
criteria3="> '"+criteria3+"'";
vcr.setAttribute("Datenaiss", criteria3 );
The I receive the result on my jsp but in the field of my date I see now e.g. > '1992-01-17'
can you help me ?

If have found a solution to clear the search form

Dates in ADF Search Form

Hi,
I have implemented a search form where i query the set of entries and display the results below in a table.
The problem that i am facing is that when i query the set using the "Created by" column of my table i do not get any results. The date format in my database is in the form of dd-MMM-yy and i have set the control hint of the attribute in the entity but with no luck.
Please someone help me.
Thanks
Antonis

Can you double-check with a SQL example? Often create-date is something people populate with the SYSDATE or the current machine time that has both a date and a time component.
I tried this test with the SCOTT schema:
SQL> update emp set hiredate = to_date('17-NOV-1981 10:41:22','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') where empno = 7839;
1 row updated.
SQL> select empno, to_char(hiredate,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') as hiredate from emp where empno in (7839, 7369);
     EMPNO HIREDATE
      7369 17-DEC-1980 00:00:00
      7839 17-NOV-1981 10:41:22If formatted as above at the SQL level to show the full HH24:MI:SS time component, do your created date values have all 00:00:00 for the time, or some non-zero time?
If you try a query like:
select count(*) from your_table where trunc(created_date) = created_datedo you get a count that is the same as all rows in the table, or some number that is less than all the rows?

ADF Swing Search form based on readonly VO

Hello,
Does somebody know how to use the JUNavigationBar search form, when it is binded to ViewObject, that is readonly?
The problem is that the form begins readonly too...
Thanks,

Hi,
you could create your own parameter form and pass the data to a method on the ApplicationModule that hen applied the ViewCriteria. Alternatively you add bind variables to the query and use a form based on the ExecuteWithParams operation

ADF Search form inside a jsp page's panel page container

I am going through the Oracle JDeveloper 10g for Forms & PL/SQL book and I got to page 391 where I need to drop a search form onto a jsp page set up with a panelpage. The form show up but when I go to delete the extra fields JDeveloper completely locks up. I am running JDeveloper version 10.1.3.3.0.4157. I tried reinstalling it and it still locks up. I tried going back a few steps and recreate the search form and it still locks up.
Can anyone explain why it is locking up or how to delete the extra fields without locking up?

I also tried selecting a field in the source file code window. Just selecting a field in any form or window locks up JDeveloper. My program worked find until I created a search form from a data set. I think it is a bug in the version of JDeveloper I have. I did a similar task in a previous version and it worked fine. I could select and delete fields with no problem.

SelectInputDate component in a search form - JDev 10.1.3.0.4

Cheers to all of you buddies in this valley of tears, have a good day
I have a table that contains a date column, and a search form to do "query by example" and its date field is a "selectInputDate" with its date chooser.
The date column in the table is formatted as yyyy-MM-dd (assigned in the underlying BO).
I assigned a "convertDateTime" with a pattern yyyy-MM-dd to the selectInputDate component.
At this point, the page works correctly. I select a date and get the appropiate results.
The problem rised when adding a validator to the "selectInputDate" component.
I added a "validateDatatimeRange" validator and binded the Maximum and Minimum values to two java.util.Date fields (minDate and maxDate) defined in a session managed bean named depSessionBean. The binding was done using EL as #{depSessionBean.minDate} and #{depSessionBean.maxDate}. The effect is that the date chooser only enables dates within the range (good).
The problem arises when I click on the "Execute" action button. All I get is a lovely error complaining about date conversions.
The attached converter returns a String that is correctly used to query the data but the validator expects a java.util.Date (it does not accept String values).
So, am I missing something? How can I get the converter and validator to work together?
Thanks a heap for any help.

Frank,
Thanks for your reply and yes I'm using BC (I allways forget that important piece of information).
Unfortunatelly I still have a few doubts:
- I suppose that assigning a pattern to a date column in a BO is for display purposes and in some cases to have the right conversions in where clauses. In this case, choosing yyyy-MM-dd (that is the default) is a coincidence and in this case, you are right it is superfluous. But suppose we use dd/MM/yyyy. In this case, the date will be rendered with this new pattern. Even more, I suppose that in a query by example, when building the where clause, JDev expects the given date to be a string with that same pattern (dd/MM/yyyy). So, we have the first conclusion: The selected date must be a String with the given pattern. That is why I assigned a converter to the selectInputDate component.
I did some tests and concluded: The patterns in the BO and in the converter assigned to the selectInputDate component must match or the query won't work.
The second step is to narrow the date range. The way I found to do it is by assigning a datetime validator to the selectInputDate component. This validator expects java.util.Date values for its min and max dates, and the date chooser works well (by enabling only dates between the given range).
The problem rises when you submit the form. At validation time you have: a date expressed as a formatted String (needed for the query) and a validator expecting a java.util.Date to perform the validation. So, you get a casting error.
All this is what I understood and concluded about the situation and, of course I could be completelly wrong.
If my steps for configuring the search parameters are correct, there must be a way to do the String - Date casting and avoid the error.
If my approach is wrong then there must be a correct approach for this kind of situation.
Thanks a lot for your help,
A. Gurisatti
