Including a page flow in header

Hi all,
I want to include a page flow in header section of a portal.
I tried with JSP:include tag , but I'm getting message unable to find action .
Is it possible ?
thanks,
sathish

Sathish-
Through the use of custom and standard controls, I have incorporated authentication
and user management in my jsps. There is a netui tag that you can utilize to
reference a control. I have found the easiest way to add a control is to drag
it from my tree onto the JSP.
As for getting pageFlow into my header, I haven't tried yet.

I want to try a different approach.
I want to use a custom java control in jsp ?
Did you had a chance to try it out and had any luck ?

Have you tried a global pageflow? Also, did you include the netui tags
in the
pageflow? I personally have thought about doing the same, but I was
concerned
about using the jsp:include as some session information doesn't always
transfer
or call properly in an include. One idea may be to use a reference/render
to
a portlet. Those are just approach ideas I haven't tried, but may soon.
Hope
that at least gives you a starting point.

Workshop 8.1 - jsp:include an Page Flow action resource

Hi everybody.
Can i use jsp:include to "include" a page flow action ?
I've tried it, but odd things are happening: The resource got included, but fragments of html source "around" it are been lost.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.

Exiting a page flow

Hi guys, and thanks a lot for answering my previous questions.
Now i am wondering; is there a way to explicitly exit a page flow?

Hi Daniel
There are 2 ways you can acheive this.
1) Using something called Pageflowscoped form for this. This will let you use arrays for checkbox group.
The main part will be that you need to define a member varaible of the form at the pageflow level there by the data will not be lost
2) Using Request scoped form like you have now but need to modify the getter method to populate the "searchResult" object.
public List getSearchResult() {
if( null == searchResult){
System.out.println(" Pouplate the searchResult here. ");
searchResult= new ArrayList();
//populate the default values.
return this.searchResult;
More info at:
http://e-docs.bea.com/workshop/docs81/doc/en/workshop/guide/netui/guide/conReqScopedVsPageScopedBean.html
I have a sample with pageflowscoped bean and requestscoped bean that I can send you if you provide your email address.
Unfortunately we cannot attach files in the newsgroup.

          Two possibilities spring to mind, NTRealm which is a security realm for
          weblogic that works with NTLM, I have no personal experience with it however
          you can search edocs for more info about it. Another alternative is jCIFS
          which includes an NTLM authentication handler for HTTP. I have used this in
          a previous life and it works great. You can view more info about it here

Menu-drive page flow without having to resort to portals

Is it possible to use the page flow system in a cross-frame context, without having
to resort to the Portal paradigm?
We need to display a menu in the top frame and the actual page displayed in the
center frame needs to change when a menu option is clicked. I know this sounds
a lot like the portal, but it is much more simple. Can I find an example somewhere
on how to implement this with only a page flow.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Jan Noppen

Hi Jan,
we needed something similar in one of our projects. I don't know if you
mean html frames, or you just used the word to describe the menu-content
structure. We had the later.
We used netui:templates to do it. We created a template that contained a
menu and the actual content. The jsp-s of the pageflow used this
template, so they had the menu. The different parts can communicate
using request or session.
BR,

Forwards that are deleted by Struts Page Flow

I'm using JDev 9.0.5 preview and I'm having some problems with Struts page flow.
I create a �forward link� from a �Data Action� to a �Page forward�, then I edit this �forward link� to send a parameter to the Page Forward. To do that, I change the �path� of the forward link from �/menu.do� to �/menu.do?include=/UT1.do�.
Then if I run this project, everything work fine and I�m able use the parameter, but if I close Struts page Flow, when I will reopen it, the �Forward link� will be erased (not just the parameter I added, the �Forward link�).
I do this because I don�t want to include a header and a footer in all my pages, I want to do it the order way around : I want to the same page (which will contains a header, a body and a footer) to have the page that it receives in parameter as a body. For example, if this call is made : www.xxxxx.com/menu.do?include=/UT1.do, the page �menu.do� will include the page /UT1.do.
Does anyone know how I could prevent JDev from deleting my forward links or does anyone know an easier way to pass parameter between a �Data Action� and a �Page forward�.
Thanks

I had the same problem when I used a parameter named "event". I changed the name of the parameter to pmode and this seems to have fixed the problem. I am not 100% sure yet. The parameter names "event" and "include" may conflict with some automatic features of JDeveloper.
Another thing that happened while I was using "event" was that my web.xml was overwritten with a very basic/generic web.xml file - as if JDeveloper thought that it was creating a new project.

How to include a button in report header like rowspan? &logfile generation?

I am really new to this form and I have some questions on the APEX HTML DB:
The project I need to work on is like this: Based on some criteria, I need to do a database lookup. Then in the result, I need to be able to edit the individual record. So far it is no problem. Here comes the part that I am not sure how to handle or if it can be handled.
1. We need to have the ability to copy down certain columns value to selected rows. Therefore, a "copy down" button needs to be included right under the column header cell. For example, based on certain criteria, the following product information is returned: product description, serial number, price, category etc. The “COPY DOWN” button needs to be listed right under the “serial number” table header and before the first row of the result, like “rowspan” in html table header. Once you click on “copy down”, the first rows’s serial number will be copied to all selected rows “serial number”. – Can a button be put right under a column header? If so, can I even reference the cell value in javascript?
2. Since we are doing the batch update, I need to have the ability to maintain a logfile to include date and time and what information is modified. – Can I generate a logfile from APEX HTML DB?
I am not sure APEX HTML DB is a good candidate for the above two tasks.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi user572980,
Welcome to APEX... the more you'll do with it, the more you'll like it.
1) Are you using a Tabbed Form? Or are you in a report? I try to get a better idea what you're trying to do. Did you already have a look at the templates? You can have a template for the report for ex., in that you can adapt like you wish (in your case put a button under the column header).
You can also reference the cell values, but for that I should know where you're in (form, report). When you click right on the page and have a look at Page Source you see what item (reference) it is.
2) You can make a logfile yes. Are you using packages to do the batch update? In that you can make some code to store the history. In otherwords, out-of-the-box in APEX I don't think it exists, but with PLSQL you can do it (so also in APEX). For ex. the plsql package stores it in a history table and you built a report on top of that.

FM10: PDF output not including part of graphic in header

Here are my versions: (TCS3.0)
FM 10.0.1.402
Acrobat 10.1.1
Distiller 10.1.133
I have a book recently created in FM10. I needed to add a very large table. I followed Barb Binder's instructions for setting up landscape master pages (from the IconLogic 8/9/11 Skills & Drills newsletter). Everything worked perfectly. I was able to create the master pages and body pages using them, and eventuallly get the large table in the doc file. So far so good... I wanted to see how the new pages and table would look in PDF, so I did a File > Save as PDF. The PDF was created as expected.
However, I have a strange issue with our company logo in the header. It's in the header on all pages of this document and looks fine on all pages in FM - both on the body and master pages. But in the PDF, the last letter of the company name is cut off. I cannot figure out what's going on. I've also tried to Print to File using the Adobe PDF printer and creating a PS file that I then distilled to PDF. Same problem no matter what method I use. In the PDF, the logos on all non-landscape pages are fine.
Here are some screen caps.
The document open in FM - this shows the Telesoft logo on left and right body pages using the landscape master pages:
Here is the LandscapeLeft master page:
The LandscapeRight master page:
Here's a screen cap of a LandscapeLeft page in the PDF:
Here's a screen cap of a LandscapeRight page in the PDF:
Notice the final "T" missing for the header graphic on both the right and left pages. On the master page, there is plenty of room in the anchored frame that holds the graphic, so the frame isn't cutting anything off. The exact same headers are used on both the regular and landscape master pages and all is well in the PDF for the regular pages.
I really appreciate any suggestions!
Kim

I wonder if you repeated your steps with a *.png graphic if you would see the truncation in the horizontal layout?
OK, I tried it....interesting, but mixed results.
I created a portrait master page, deleted the header text frame, and imported a png image onto it. The png is on the page, not inside a frame. I then rotated the portrait page to a landscape master page. After several other imports, I have the following on the landscape master page.
1. The png from the original PORTRAIT master page.
2. The png imported to the LANDSCAPE master page without further rotation.
3. The png imported to the landscape master page with a rotation to match 1.
4. The png imported into the footer TEXT frame (which is now perpendicular on the left side of the page). This created an anchored frame to hold the png.
5. The standard text frame for the body text.
6. A copy of 4 but rotated back to portrait.
Then, on the body page that uses this lanscape master page, I imported the png. As per normal, this created an anchored frame below the line to hold the png. Of course it is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, because the text frame was rotated with the page.
RESULTS in the PDF:
a. ALL the png images were complete, EXCEPT 1 and 4. Interestingly, 1 was clipped on the right (bottom in landscape) and 4 was clipped on the left (top in landscape).
b. The png in 4 was NOT selectable, as Kim noted. When I clicked it, only the anchored frame was selected. When rotated back to zero degrees (6), the png was then selectable.
HOWEVER:
I was going to show a screen shot, but the png I used had company information in it. So, I created a png (Photoshop) of a flower, and created another master page with all six items.
c. THIS master page showed NO clipping on ANY of the png images.
d. To be complete, I created another png image from an eps file using Illustrator to mimic the workflow that created my original png. AND there was NO clipping of any of the png images in the PDF.
So, the results are mixed. But my tests indicate that the best way to create the master page is to rotate the page FIRST, then import the logo image. Do rotation after the import to get it into the correct orientation. DO NOT import the image into a background text frame (header or footer or other) that is on the master page. This creates an anchored frame holding the image, but the image is not selectable.
Hope this helps,
Van

Can I reference page-flow bean from a bounded-task-flow page-fragment?

I have a view activity implemented as page fragment in my bounded task flow.
I declare a page-flow scope managed-bean in adfc-config.xml to do some initialization for the bounded-task-flow:
<managed-bean id="__23">
<managed-bean-name id="__22">TaskFlowBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class id="__21">view.backing.TaskFlowBackingBean</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope id="__20">pageFlow</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
In my bounded task flow, the default activity is a method-call activity which call the page-flow bean method
<method-call id="initFlow">
<method>#{pageFlowScope.TaskFlowBean.initFlow}</method>
<outcome id="__27">
<fixed-outcome>showPanel</fixed-outcome>
</outcome>
</method-call>
But JDeveloper (11.1.1.2) show a warning "Refereneed pageFlowScope not found" at the "Diagram" view of the flow definition.
The fixed outcome of the default activity is to render a page-fragment which also reference the page-flow scope bean method getPanelTitle():
<af:panelBox text="#{pageFlowScope.TaskFlowBean.panelTitle}" id="pb1">
<f:facet name="toolbar"/>
</af:panelBox>
At runtime, the page fragment was rendered properly except the panel box title is missing. No other error is reported
When I debugged the application, the bean methods initFlow() and getPanelTitle() didn't get call as the program didn't stop at the breakpoint set in the bean methods.
The page fragment was rendered properly except the panel box title is missing.
When I change the scope to backing bean, both initFlow() and getPanelTitle() get called but under a different backing bean.
As the bean attributes set by initFlow() were not no longer set when getPanelTitle() was invoked even though the methods were invoked in the correct order.
Why can't I use a page-flow scope bean within the bounded task flow?
On further debugging, I noticed the bean was not created when it is set to be page-flow scope. I put a debug message in the constructor... never get called.
When should a page-flow scope bean be created to be accessible on entry to a bounded task flow?
Edited by: Pricilla on Apr 29, 2010 3:16 PM

Please check the scope of the pageFlow from the manual.
pageFlowScope is only available for the pages/views in that taskflow and not in the included taskflows.

Don't include last page of the SSRS report based on the parameter.

I created the report, which has 4 pages.
Each page contains bunch of tables and charts, which display data in scope of dataset, created for each page and reflecting certain subject.
Each page also has Header and Footer.
My users requested, the report has possibility to include or not include data on Page #4.
Other words, report should display 3 or 4 pages based on the entered parameter.
1. I created parameter named “Include #### metrics”, which contains options: Y, N
2. For each object on the page 4 I added dependency on the selected
parameter in the visibility option.
Now if user select parameter Not include Page #4, report displays 3 pages as expected and page #4 is empty, but with Header and Footer.
The problem: Their
preference is to not to show page 4 at all if someone chooses to not to include
#### metrics.
My question is how to force the report to display just 3 selected pages.

Hi MK0526,
Per my understanding that you have add page break to make the report to display on three diferent pages and you want to show and hide the fourth page based on the parameter selected, now the issue is although the content on the fourth page have been hidden
but the page header and page footer still display, right?
I have tested on my local envoronment and can reproduce the issue, the issue can be caused by the page break you have set, you may have check the "Add a page break after", please find the details information below to reset the page break:
Please create four rectangles and add all the content from each pages to include in each rectangle
Please check the "Add a page break before" for rectangle2, rectangle3,rectangle4 in the rectangle properties and not add any page break in the first rectangle (Rectangle1)
Add expression below to show/hide the rectangle4:
=iif(Parameters!IncludePage4.Value="No",true,false)
Now you will not see the page header and footer in the fourth page when you select "No" in the parameter.
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Loading a Page Flow into a region programmatically

Hi everyone,
I'm currently using JDeveloper 11.1.1.0.2, I have a fragment with a backing bean that programatically generates a set of RichPanelSplitters to create a page with a user-defined amount of rows and columns.
This is working fine, but while creating these panels I want to insert into each facet a RichRegion that will contain a Page Flow that I've created (e.g. my-flow-definition.xml which I would normally drag onto a page and select 'Region' from the context menu).
I can easily create a RichRegion in my managed bean, but I have no idea how I'd 'insert' my flow definition into it programatically, is this possible?
Thanks in advance, Tom

Hi,
Ok, the post I linked you to won't be useful for that as you really need a "varying amount" of task flows in your page. Since you also posted on another topic about that part I pretty much get that you're trying to create a page composer on your own. MDS would greatly help you do that but, sadly, it's not available and you said your time frame is pretty short in the other thread, leaving you with very few options. Here's what you can attempt, but it's going to be complex:
1. Create a custom TaskFlowRegionModel (you'll have to check the ADFc API, including the private one, to create a working one). This step is the most complex one;
2. Make sure all dynamically added task flow do NOT use page defs / data binding nor call task flows that does;
3. Create an user preference table;
4. Create a model layer service managing the table;
5. Change your managed bean you retrieve/write properties on the service and creating region dynamically using your custom made RegionModel created in 1;
6. Add code to include the current fragment's content at that point, which is very fishy outside JSP pageContext.
You should plan between 10~20 days to create the model alone (step 1) and maybe 5~10 for fragment inclusion step 6. I've created my model in 3 days and the inclusion code in 2, so it's doable in that time frame as well, but I'm not a newbie with JDeveloper, ADF nor JSF at all so I would take those number as close to absolute minimum time required and even then I could not overcome the point 2's limitation. I'm not allowed to share the code though, sorry about that.

Javascript and page flows

Hi
I have my javascript code snippet as below in my jsp page (using page flows):-
<SCRIPT>
var contextName;
contextName="<%= request.GetContextPath() >";
</SCRIPT>
The problem is I can never get the above value dynamically computed in my app
. The value of contextName is always the static string - <%= request.GetContextPath()
and not its value .Is there any way I can get the above expression to be evaluated and the evaulated
value be assigned to contextName.
Thanks
Kar

Kar,
I think the problem here is that scriptlets (<%= ... %>) aren't
evaluated in a .js file, only in .jsp files. This is because they are a
JSP feature. I recommend you declare the variable you need in your .js
file in a small script section in your JSP that refers to the .js file,
or some variation of this.

Thanks for pointing out the typo :) . Actually the problem I am facing is that
I am trying to use an external javascript file in a template file as
<netui-template:includeSection name="jscriptSection" defaultPage="/resources/scripts/generic.js"></netui-template:includeSection>
where generic.js has my javascript code . This is basically spoofing the page
flow framework to read an external javascript file (Which it does properly ---
well almost). The problem is it is never able to evaluate the <%= request.getContextPath()%>
tag and spits it out as is . However if I change the name of generic.js to generic.jsp
and have the javascript code in it as is, at runtime it is able to proplely evaulate
the javascript contents in generic.jsp . So right now I have all my javascript
code in a .jsp file (which Idonot like ). I want to be able to create .js file
and hook it into the template framework in some way so that it is able to successfully
evaulate expressions.
Can u share the syntax or a tip as to how to include a .js file in a template

Master Page Flow Problems

I am trying to flow 4 xml documents into structured FrameMaker template that is 4 pages. The last page has 3 different master page versions. I have set the StructMasterPageMaps up to direct the page flow for the final page to the correct back page master page, depending on the value for the version attribute. The data is not flowing correctly. The master page that precedes this back master page is 2 column. If the data for this page only flows into the first column, and the second column is empty, the back page data flows into the correct version of the back master page. If the second column has data in it, the back page flows onto a new page but applies the master page used by the preceding data. It doesn’t apply the correct back master page version.
Does anyone know how I can correct this?

Michael,
It is certainly posible to map a master page to an element that does not contain text directly but is the root of a sub-hierarchy of elements. Examples include elements for a chapter or list.
