Rules property in the JSF dataTable component

Does anyone know how to use this or if there is any documentation on how to use this? Is this how one can, for example, create rows of subtotals?
Any assitance would be greatly approciated.
Thanks

 rules="groups">

rules attribute:
"Code specifying which rules will appear between cells within this table. Valid values are: none (no rules, default value); groups (between row groups); rows (between rows only); cols (between columns only); and all (between all rows and columns)."

Jsf datatable component + java.sql.SQLException

I get the following error when implementing a JSF DataTable component using
JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.
javax.faces.FacesException: java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Socket closed
I am able to follow the article in this link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/06-jan/o16jsf.html
I can get the table generated, but it occurred to me that the example in this article does not include logic to close the statement, resultset, and connection. Sure enough, I jumped out to the database and there were numerous inactive connections hanging around from my application.
I added the following code before the return null statement from the article:
finally {
try {
rs.close();
stmt.close();
c.close();
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("after close");
So I need to know the proper procedure to closing the resultset, statement, and connection using a jsf datatable component.

You need to make sure you're using the Oracle9i JDBC driver, or using the Oracle 8.1.7.2 JDBC driver as I mentioned above.
If you are using JDeveloper9i release 9.0.2 or 9.0.3, the driver you need is in <jdevhome>\jdbc\lib
Otherwise, you can also download the drivers from OTN.

JSF runs at server side and produces HTML.
JS runs at client side and intercepts on HTML only.
With other words, when writing JS you should look at generated HTML output of JSF instead of the raw JSF code.

Displaying ResultSet in DataTable component

Say my program codes have created a ResultSet object by applying some SQL query into the database tables.
Now I just want to display the contents of that ResultSet object in the JSC DataTable component. Is it possible? If so, how?
Thank you.

Hi,
I think i have found a way to do what we want to do :
As written in Winston Prakash's Weblog (http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/winston),
1) I have created a java class "ResultRowDataProvider" that extends ListObjectDataProvider and that contains a method that fill a list from the resultset. (Later, this list will be automatically used to fill the Table Component)
That is to say :
public class ResultRowDataProvider extends ObjectListDataProvider{
private List resultList = new ArrayList();
/** Creates a new instance of ResultRowDataProvider */
public ResultRowDataProvider() {
setUserResizable(true);
public void fillResultList(ResultSet rs){
try{
rs.beforeFirst();
while(rs.next())
resultList.add(new ResultRow(rs.getString(1), rs.getString(2)));
} catch(SQLException sqle){}
setList(resultList);
public int getNbRows(){
return this.resultList.size();
2) I have created a java class "ResultRow" where I defined private attributes that the ResultRowDataProvider will provide.
That is to say :
public class ResultRow(){
private String field1;
private String field2;
public ResultRow(String field1, String field2){
this.field1 = field1;
this.field2 = field2;
public String getField1(){
return this.field1;
public String getField2(){
return this.field2;
public void setField1(String field1){
this.field1 = field1;
public void setField2(String field2){
this.field2 = field2;
3) I finally added the following line to the init( ) method in SessionBean1.java :
resultRowDataProvider = new ResultRowDataProvider();
Then it is compulsory to clean and build the project, to close the project and to reopen it so that the table component layout will take into account the ResultRowDataProvider.
I chose it, but it didn't display the two fields I defined (field1 and field2)
whereas Winston said it should display them. So I defined the table columns myself using as value : #{currentRow.getValue('field1')} for the field1 column.
It worked at runtime.
Now jetsons, I would like to tell you that I personnaly wanted to fill programmatically the Table Component because I am using an Oracle 9.2.0.1 database. In the first version of my project, i used the CachedRowSet. Then I read that i had to use OracleCachedRowSet using ocrs12.jar. But after many bugs at runtime, I had a look to forums and I read that :
"JDBC drivers provided by Oracle are not suitable for Sun Java Studio Creator, and are not supported. Oracle drivers currently available do not fully implement the JDBC 3.0 Specification. Sun Java Studio Creator requires certain schema information at design time that Oracle drivers do not provide."
In fact we can use DataDirect but ...
Filling programmatically a Table Component is a database-independant way ;)
Thank you for your help jetsons and MISS_DUKE.

Jsf datatable inside datatable component rendering problem.

I am creating an online survey application using JSF with IceFaces component library. The survey can have any number of questions. Each question can be any one of the types checkbox, radio button, etc with multiple options.
For this, I am using a datatable to dynamically add a question to the survey. Inside that datatable, I am using another datatable to add option to the survey.
Now the problem is, if I keep on click on add question button, in the outer data table, question is being added without any issue. Once I click on inner data table to add a option to any of the added questions, I am able to add. But after that, if I click again on add question button, it is not working.
This is my xhtml code:
<ice:dataTable id="icePnlQuestionAdd" var="questAdd" value="#{createSurveyManagedBean.surveyQuestionList}">
<ice:column>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<th><ice:outputText value="Question English" style="white-space: nowrap;" /></th>
<td colspan="15">
<ice:inputText id="QuestionEn" style="width:485px;" value="#{questAdd.questionEn}" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<ice:dataTable id="icePnlOptionAdd" var="optionAdd" value="#{questAdd.surveyQuestionOptionList}"> <ice:column>
<th><ice:outputText value="Option " /></th>
<td><ice:inputText id="OptionEn" value="#{optionAdd.optionEn}" /></td>
</ice:column>
</ice:dataTable>
</tr>
</table>
</ice:column>
</ice:dataTable>
This is the add question method:
public String addQuestion() {
SurveyDTO addSurveyQuestionDTO = new SurveyDTO();
questionNum = surveyQuestionList.size();
addSurveyQuestionDTO.setQuestionNum(questionNum);
surveyQuestionList.add(addSurveyQuestionDTO);
return "createSurvey";
This is the add option method:
public String addOption() {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
if (context.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("questionNum") != null) {
String questionNum = (String) context.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("questionNum");
int selectedQuestionNum = Integer.valueOf(questionNum);
SurveyQuestionOptionDTO surveyQuestionOptionDTO = new SurveyQuestionOptionDTO();
surveyQuestionList.get(selectedQuestionNum).getSurveyQuestionOptionList().add(surveyQuestionOptionDTO);
return "createSurvey";
}

Bind the h:datatable in the jsp to UIDataTable component in your java code. Then when the action method is invoked, use DataTable.getWrappedObject() to get the model. Cast the model to whatever your type is (List, Array...) and then iterate through the model to process individual rows.

Calling a method in the Custom ADF component from JSF page

HI.
I have created some custom compoents by extending the core ADF Components. Like i have a ComboBoxDefault component with it's ComboBoxDefaultTag.java and Controls.tld file.
Now my requirement is i want to bind my label to this component from the JSF page. like
<fwcontrols:label binding="#{listComponents.comboBoxDefaultLabel}" id="label1"/>
<fwcontrols:comboBoxDefault binding="#{listComponents.cmbLocales}"
value="en_GB" id="comboBoxDefault" autoSubmit="true" label="label1">
<f:selectItems value="#{listComponents.locales}"/>
</fwcontrols:comboBoxDefault>
In my JSF page the label will have an id, and that id will be specified in the label tag of the component.
In Tag.java file i have overrided the setProperty(FacesBean facesBean). In this method i have bind all my properties. In core JSF the setProperty method is provided with the UIComponent parameter, so i can call my method in component also. Which is not in case of ADF Faces.
My main point is how i can call my method setLabel() which is in ComboBoxDefault.java so that i can set the label.
Thanks in Advance.

Thanks for all your replies. I want this kind of a functionality because Im trying to invove a DC (Child DC) from a Parent DC such that the Child DC's view is displayed onto the view container of the Parent DC. I have embedded using 'interface view of a component instance' in the Parent Window and am able to create the component and set usage though the onPlugDefault of the Child View.
But I observe that when i make a call from the parent, the flow is like this:
1. The wdDoInit of the Child Component Controller gets triggered first.
2. Then the wdDoInit of the Child's VIEW gets triggered
3. and THEN the onPlugDefault of the Child Component Interface View
What I had actually wanted was to Fire onPlugDefault where Im calling a method LoadData(), after which the Child DC's view must be triggered so it can display the fetched data.
What is actually happening is the view gets displayed, but no data is displayed in the view.
Right now I have just given a work around where Im triggering LoadData() of the COmponent COntroller from the wdDoInit of the VIEW.
Is there a better way to do this? I find it strange that I have to load the Data from the view.
Thanks
Jack

How to bind table data to datatable component and show all the table data??

I bind table to datatable component !
The datatable has four rows,
but the datatable alway show the first row data in its four rows,why??

do you mean at design time or at runtime?
at design time, the datatable uses generic fields to
show if data type is numeric, text, date, etc...
If this is at runtime,
- what driver are you using?
- how did you bind the data to the table?
- what is the resulting code in the Java backing file?
hth,

Moving the tabs to right of the jsf page in the adf panel tabbed component

Hi,
i want to move the tabs in the panel tabbed component to the right. In the property inspector of this component, it doesn't have an option called right. How can we do this?
Thanks,

Hi,
why there is no reply from the community? Does it mean, no one had any requirement like this before or it is not possible in ADF.

Guide me to override the af:query component QueryListener property

Hi All,
If any one have sample application to override the af:query component query lisenere proprety, please share. I have the following requirement in search criteria.
Field 1
Field 2
Field 3
Field 4
Field 5
Find Button
Result section
Validations on these fields:
1. When user enters value in field 1 and tabs out, a background plsql should execute and return the value to field 2. If no value returns, then and exceptio should raise for field1.
2. Field 3: when the user enters a value and tabs out, it should automatically convert to UPPER case.
3. Field 5 and field 4 are date paremeters. Field 5 should be disabled until a value enters in field4
4. Value in field 5 should be validated agaigst field 4 it should always > field 5
5. Once user hits find button, it should check for atlease one search criteria other wise it should prompt the user to enter atlease one search criteria. (ALong with above 5 validations). Popup should come here.
Any suggestions would be appricated.

I'm not sure you'll be able to achieve all of this with the af:query component.
Here is how to do the dependent lists:
http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/2011/01/dependent_lovs_in_an_afquery_c.html
It might be easier to build this type of search form something like executeWithParams - see:

Problem in JSF addRemoveList component selection

Hi,
We are using JSF creator studio 2.0. In our project we are using addRemoveList component to display available and selected items.
We are able to display the selected value from available list to Selected list.
uisng Add and remove buttons of the AddremoveList component.
But we are facing the problem is, we are unable to get particular selected or highlighted value from the SelectedList .
However we are able to get all selected items in bakingBean.
This is very very important for us to move further in our development. I really appreciate for any sort of help.
Thanks,
Ramesh

Hey Andy,
I did it that way (JSC 2):
assuming the add remove component's id is arl and that the components' item-property is bound to a datatable (mysql). The value field is of type Long, the display field is of type String.
Get selected:
get an array of selected objects directly from the component, and then do what ever you like to with that array.
Object[] objSel = (Object[]) arl.getSelected();
int i;
int l = objSel.length;
String str;
for (i = 0; i < l ; i++) {
str = objSel.toString();
Set selected:
Just create an array of objects holding the selected values and pass it to the component. But, attention, you'll need to make sure you're feeding the object array with the correct types of values. In my sample the value is a Long as described above, so I also need to pass in a Long, else the component just does nothing at all.
Object[] selObj = new Object[] {new Long(5), new Long(8)};
arl.setSelected(selObj);
I found this the most easy option to get and set the add remove list selection.
An other quite easy option is to bind the selected-property of the component to any session-bean property of type object-array and then set this sessionbean-property to the approrpiate values. But here you need also to make sure the datatype is correct.

How to get the Dynamic UI component value from JSFF page to any managedbean

HI ,
We have list of bean objects in jSF page we are iterating the list of bean using the forEach loop and displaying the value into Input type text (UI component) value filed .
If we try to get the UI component value in Managed bean we are not getting the dynamic values .
The below piece of code used to retrieve the dynamic values from the JSF page doesn't have any form :
UIComponent component = null;
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
if (facesContext != null) {
UIComponent root = facesContext.getViewRoot();
component = findComponent(root, componentId);
then component type casting to the based on UI component which we trying to access and getting the value as " NULL " ..Please let me know how to get the dynamic values form the JSF ?
Please let me know if any other approach or any changes required on above ?
Thanks

Hi,
the root problem is this
<h:inputText id="it3" value="#{familyList.ctn}" />
<tr:commandButton text="Save" id="cb3"Note how each row writes to the same managed bean property, thus showing the same data. Instead your managed bean should expose a HashMap property that you then apply values to using a key/value pair. The key could be the ID of the field, which then you also should dynamically define e.g. cb<rowIndx>. The command button could then have a f:attribute assigned that has the row HahMap key as a value. This way you truly create value instances for the object

EL Expression in a JSF Datatable

I have a JSF Datatable that returns a list of results. These results contain a short version of what I actually want to display. For example, "DOC" which stands for "Document". Is there a way that I can create an EL expression inside the Datatable to print out the full name instead of the shortened name?

You can't use EL directly in a resource bundle out of the box, but it is possible to parametrize them anyway, did you know that? Perhaps that is already good enough for you.

Yes, I am aware of parameterising the resource bundles. However, these require you to use f:param .. and the last time I tried, these parameters were not available / visible at the requiredMessage attribute. I'll try it again anyway.As I have re-discovered, you cannot parameterise the requiredMessage attribute.

The other alternative I am looking at, for the cases where the requiredMessage needs to be parameterised, or needs to have dynamic content, is to call a backing method for the requiredMessage attribute, from which I can then do whatever I need, even use EL expressions. I was thinking of this as a last resort.
On the other hand, when one uses the validator attribute, usually one ends up adding one or multiple FacesMessage in code within the method being called, where the string of the message already comes from a resource bundle. I was trying to have a delineation whereby:
1) requiredMessage should only use resource bundles, no backing bean method called.
2) FacesMessages added via the method called by the validator attribute is OK
