10G StrutsPageFlow Look/Feel/Use

Look and Feel:
In a post Brian Fry stated they are looking at Look and Feel for future releases. Today I was playing with the Struts Page Flow and here are a few Look/Feel/usability items
Again Thanks All
A
=============================
Add a full screen editor for Diagram Editing (Allow hot keys to floating pallets). Multiple monitor support if not already there.
More options for direct access on right click of objects to code, properties, ect.
Usability
I used the BC4J toy store example from Steve Muench and created a StrutsPageFlow from struts-config.xml. What a mess.
Next I right clicked on the diagram Diagram|Refresh Diagram from all Pages... Even worse.
I Right Clicked and selected Layout Diagram|Right to Left. This creates an unusable document that I could not find a way to get back to usable by clicking. The anchors in the lines do not clean up when the lines are moved or straightened.
I think I see the error in my logic for the next one but it seems to still be a problem in the way the system keeps the PageFlow, XML and code, consistent when using cut and paste. I do not know the exact path to recreate problem:
*after the Layout Diagram Results above I hand edited the whole pageflow to get all the bad anchors out and the whole diagram on a single page.
*Next I selected all items on the Struts Page Flow and used cut from the menu to cut all the Items displayed
*I deleted the page flow using File| Erase from Disk.
*I Creaed a new page flow and Pasted all the items back. They came back and looked like the page flow I cut but they were hollow, cold, and empty.
*This destroyed the PageFlow, config. xml, and project.
oops.
More Later ?

Arron,
Certainly the default layout of an imported struts-config in the preview is not pretty - For production it will automatically do a Hierarchical Top to Bottom which is a little better but we have to do some further work to tweek the label and line positioning - this is an area which will constantly evolve for the better...
Cut copy paste on the diagram does not work in Preview - it is fixed for production so I'm sorry about that.

Changing look & feel in jsp

Hi,
This is regarding to change the look & feel using jsp
i have create two .laf files (each contain differnt skin & skeleton)
in .jsp
a) how to show the look & feel names dynamically? (in dropdown)
b)when i select a particular look & feel, then that look & feel has to apply for the desktop.
how to achieve this. pls let me know.
Thanks,
Natesh.

I guess the OAM is the Oracle Access Manager of oracle's fusion middleware? Also 'webgate plugin' and 'access servers' do point me that way.
This is the linux forum. You should ask your question probably in the identity management forum: Identity Manager

Ok, using Windows Look-feel ... any changes?

Hi:
I am presently using the Kunststoft theme. I want to the use the SUN supplied Windows Look-feel, but I cannot change the black background in my desktop application. I use JInternal frames but start with a desktop pane.
Does anyone know how to specifically change the black background over the "default" black background that the windows UI sets. I tried setBackground(new Color(255,0,0)); .. got red for a moment, then the screen changed to black.
Any help appreciated. I really like the Windows Look-feel, but a lighter background desktop area is preferred.
Thanks,
PiratePete

After you set the Windows L&F, you must set another property.
Here is an example:
//Set the system L&F
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
//Perhaps the system is windows, so you must do this if you want to see
//the mnemonics without pressint Alt key
WindowsLookAndFeel.setMnemonicHidden(false);

JFrame resize flicker using look&feel

I just discovered JFrame's setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated. Of course, it works great (refreshing to see it on vanilla windows!), but the frame flickers during mouse resizing. Every pixel the mouse moves, the frame is drawn gray then the previous frame's image is drawn over. Is there any way to stop this?
And is there any way to do dynamic resizing? i.e. The window continuously revalidates&redraws itself while the user is resizing, and not just when the user stops resizing. At the least, is there a way to dynamically resize the border? Otherwise, a gray box (and the flicker) are the only things that shows until the user stops resizing.
Specs: WinMe/JDK1.4.

Run the following complete program and you should get the flicker problem when resizing it. Them dukes be still available! Tell me if you have any idea how to correct it, or how to dynamically resize the "guts" of the window. Thanks.

Customizing ADF Faces Look & Feel. Some questions & suggestions

Hi everybody,
We are developing an application with ADF Faces using JHeadStart. For the moment, I am studying the way we must modify the JHS templates to adapt each element to our needs.
As it's told in the JHeadStart Developer's Guide, there are two ways to customize Look & Feel:
1) Modifying the templates
2) ADF Skinning
I'm using both methods, but I feel that thay are not good enough to adapt the L&F to our customer requirements.
My main problem now is in the ADF Table customization. I want to use ADF Table because it offers us a lot of features that are not in the jsf table (the selection column, the table overflow...), and is very usefull combined with the generated JHS code. But at the same time, it doesn't offer a lot of functionality in the look & feel customization. Using JSF Table, I can set the CSS style for headers, rows, columns, the table, I can set the border, cellspacing and cellpadding. But I cannot do
any of these thing (or at least, I don't see how) with the ADF Table.
Our customer (a government) have a strict definition of the look & feel of his web applications. They want we use their CSS styles definition file, so they can modify at once the Look & Feel of all their applications. Modifying the L&F through skinning generate other styles, not use the style classes in our CSS (o so I think).
So, the questions:
1) There is any way to set the suitable styles for the ADF Table components (headers, rows)?
1bis) Why, If I have defined a new skin, with only just a few selectors, some styles from oracle are applied? Maybe because the render kit in the 'adf-skins.xml' is "oracle.adf.desktop"? If it is true, how can I make that they are not used, I must implement a render kit or can I use another existent?
2) Can I decide how looks the select column (for example a button instead of a radio button)? Can I decide where does it goes (right or left)?
3) There is any way to hidden the text Show/Hide of the showDetail in the table (the tableOverflow), as I can change the icons through skinning? If it is not possible, How can I overwrite the text. I need it in Catalan, but it is shown in English for this locale. Where is the message bundle I should overwrite?
4) There is any way to force a tree to start fully expanded?
5) There is anywhere documentation about the javascript functions used in ADF and their meaning? I think for example in the previous question. If I knew which javascript function I should call for expand the tree and its parameters, I could put the call in the onload event of the body.
6) I use a selectInputDate. I have skinned the launch-icon, and I would like to do a similar thing in the chooseDate that is opened in a new window. But It seems not to be affected for my skinning directives (if I put a chooseDate in the same page, its L&F follow the skinning rules I've defined). I don't know if this dialog is an ADF feature or a JHS generated feature.
7) There is any way to keep unmodified the id I've choosed for a component? (I mean, an inputText with id="hello" in a form with id="form" will have in the HTML an id = "form:hello", but I would like it to be simply 'hello')
8) How can I control the position and the size of a dialog (the chooseDate dialog or a dialog I've created)? In the cases I've been testing, it seems the dialog is forced to resize depending on the content. I would like to know if I can establish a fixed size.
9) There is any way to open a non-modal dialog? (which I could keep open at the same time that another instance of the same dialog)
For the moment, I think I have no more question. But give me time.... :-D
The suggestion I've to do is basically more flexible components for a better customization (for example, the styles settings I've talked about previously). ADF components are nice and powerful, but I think they should generate pages that follow the tendencies in the web development: tableless pages (I cannot understand the utility of the objectSpacer existing the margins), use of CSS for layout...
Any answer, comment or suggestion will be welcome.
Carles.

I have been able to make the UIX 2.2 and ADF Faces LAF look near identical by updating the oracle-desktop.xss file within UIX 2.2 as follows

<style name="DarkAccentBackground">

<property name="background-color">#d2d8b0</property>
</style>
There are still some differences:
1) A black line appears on the ADF Faces on the 'menu1' facet selected tab below the text. DON'T KNOW HOW TO REMOVE THIS FROM ADF Faces or add it to UIX 2.2!!!
2) In UIX 2.2 a bulleted list uses the HTML <li> tag. In ADF Faces it doesn't use the HTML <li> tag rather it constructs the bulleted list using lower level HTML tags with the 'bullet' becoming an image, in my browser this means the disc is smaller in Faces. The motivation for this change I think is explained via this post. Since I have no control over how this specific HTML tag is rendered it forces me to replace the /adf/images/bltdscn.gif file in adf-faces-impl.jar with a larger disc!

May update this again if there are other things I notice.

Setting Themes for Java Look & Feel

Hi All,
I am tring to set my customized theme to Java Look & Feel. I am able to set the theme using the following code:
ASC_WhiteSatin theme = new ASC_WhiteSatin();
MetalLookAndFeel.setCurrentTheme(theme);
The above code works fine and changes the color schemes correctly.
If I set another theme after setting the previous one i.e.let say abc Theme, dialogs and frames are updated properly where as JFileChooser start showing combination of both. Why?
I am also updating the Look & Feel and calling
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this);
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this.getParent());
((JFrame)this.getParent()).pack();
to refresh the themes for my frame. I am using JDK 1.4.1.
Thanks in advance

Hello!
You just need to install "libgnomeui". This package (or some of it dependencies... I never "investigated" what exactly happens) provides what is necessary to make Qt applications use the GTK theme. Probably it is going to work right after the installation. If not, try to logoff/login or restart the computer. And, as a "last resort" (it should not be necessary), change the Qt settings, on "qtconfig", to make it use the GTK+ Gui Style.
I hope this have worked. Anything else, just ask!

How to standardize the look & feel of different vendor JSF components?

Hi,
There are various JSF components created by different parties. For example, Tomahawk from Myfaces, ADF faces from Oracle, SUN components that provided in Java Studio creator. They look different.
Can we standard the look and feel for these various components when we use them in a same project? so that it wouldn't look that different when the page is displayed to the end user.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hi,
Can you be more specific how to achieve that using css? You mean the look and fee that we see is not an image?
Have you seen how Oracle ADF face look & feel is like?
How to change its look to what we have SUN offered in its Java studio creator 2?
Please advise.
Thank you.

How to show different Look & Feel to different users?

Hi,
how to show different Look & Feel to different users?
Thanks & Regards,
Venu--

If you want the user to select then LookAndFeel then Visitor Tools.
If you want to use code and dynamically change it then http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/javadoc/index.html?com/bea/netuix/laf/PortalLookAndFeel.html
if you have only a few combinations then you could even create different desktops and direct the user to the appropriate url

Changing shell, look & feel dynamically in desktop backing file

(I apologize if this post is showing up twice - I tried posting with
google groups but it doesn't appear at forums.bea.com, so I wanted to
post again using xnews to make sure it shows up.)
I have a backing file that I am using with my desktop and I need to be
able to change the shell and look & feel dynamically, based on the page
that is currently active. I am doing the following in the preRender()
method:
String newLAF = "myLookAndFeel";
String newShell = "myShell";
// here is where I would determine the appropriate LAF and shell based on the current page
customizationContext = new CustomizationContext(Locale.getDefault(), request);
customizationContext.setVisitorMode(true);
DesktopView desktopView =
PortalBeanManager.getPortalCustomizationManager().getDesktopView(customizationContext, webAppName, new PortalPath(portalPath), new DesktopPath(desktopPath));
DesktopInstanceId dii = desktopView.getDesktopInstanceId();
DesktopInstance di = PortalBeanManager.getPortalCustomizationManager().getDesktopInstance(customizationContext, dii);
LookAndFeelDefinitionId lookAndFeelId = null;
for(int i = 0, n = lookAndFeelDefinitions.length; i < n; i++) {
if(newLAF.equals(lookAndFeelDefinitions.getDefinitionLabel())) {
lookAndFeelId = lookAndFeelDefinitions[i].getLookAndFeelDefinitionId();
break;
di.setLookAndFeelDefinitionId(lookAndFeelId);
ShellDefinitionManager shellManager = PortalBeanManager.getShellDefinitionManager();
ShellDefinitionId shellId = null;
ShellDefinition[] shellDefinitions = getShellDefinitions(webAppName, request.getLocale(), request);
for(int i = 0, n = shellDefinitions.length; i < n; i++) {
String shellName = shellManager.getShellView(customizationContext, shellDefinitions[i].getShellDefinitionId()).getMarkupView().getMarkupDefinition().getName();
if(newShell.equals(shellName)) {
shellId = shellDefinitions[i].getShellDefinitionId();
break;
di.setShellDefinitionId(shellId);
PortalBeanManager.getPortalCustomizationManager().updateDesktopInstance(customizationContext, di);
This works just fine, but I once the portal renders itself in my
browser, I usually have to refresh the page before the changes to the
shell and look & feel are visible. I would like to do this in the
init() method of the backing file but I do not know how to determine
the current active page from within init.
I would appreciate any help you all could give me in finding a solution
so I do not have to refresh the page in order to see the shell and look
& feel changes. Thanks in advance!
Andy

We essentially have 2 "portals" running inside 1 .portal file. We'd
like to be able to use single sign on and entitlements to allow/restrict
access to various parts of the 2 portals (where certain books are
consider part of portal "A" and others part of portal "B"). If you are
logged in as a super-user, you will be able to access everything. If
you are logged in as user type "A" you can only access portal "A," and
similarly for user type "B" and portal "B."
Portals A and B have each have a distinct header, footer (i.e. shell),
and look and feel (skeleton and skin). If a super-user is looking at
portal A, the portal should have portal A's header, footer, and look and
feel, and similarly for portal B.
How would you recommend we accomplish this? Would it make more sense
(and is it possible) to have the header and footer jsps determine what
content to render based on the current book or page, and then use the
code you suggested below to change the look and feel dynamically?
Thanks,
Andy

in order to pick up the changes for that request you will need to do a redirect back to the server (our login examples shwo you how to do this). this is because the control tree has already been retrieved from the database (so you need to go back and get a new version).
I quick note: If you plan on doing this a lot this is quite a heavy process. if you just need to change the lookAndFeel on the fly you can look at the following ( i t think this is in the tutorial portal)
A) Modify the shell to include a jsp and backing file
<netuix:header>
<netuix:jspContent backingFile="com.acme.DynamicLookAndFeelHeaderBacking" contentUri="/portlets/lookAndFeel/dynamicLookAndFeelHeader/dynamicLookAndFeelHeader.jsp"/>
</netuix:header>
B) backing file looks like
public void init(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
// Get the session from the request
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
// Get the LookAndFeel object from the PrimaryTheme in the request
LookAndFeel lookAndFeel = LookAndFeel.getLookAndFeel(request);
if (request.getParameter("defaultButton") != null)
session.setAttribute("skin", "default");
if (request.getParameter("textButton") != null)
session.setAttribute("skin", "text");
if (request.getParameter("classicButton") != null)
session.setAttribute("skin", "classic");
String selectedSkin = (String) session.getAttribute("skin");
if (selectedSkin != null)
lookAndFeel.setSkin(selectedSkin);
lookAndFeel.setSkeleton(selectedSkin);
lookAndFeel.reinit();

[JProgressBar][Look&feel] Change the color

I want to change the color of my JProgressBar :
I have tried :
UIManager.put("ProgressBar.foreground", new ColorUIResource(255, 0, 0));
progressBar.updateUI();
and
progressBar.setForeground(Color.RED);[b]
When I use the default look&feel, it works but with a custom look&feel (com.birosoft.liquid.LiquidLookAndFeel), the color isn't changed.
Does anybody has an idea ?
thanks in advance
sylvain_2020

hi,
you're right but when I do :
<b>this.progressBar.setForeground(Color.RED);
this.progressBar.updateUI();</b>
Nothing changes. I found that the probleme comes from the look & feel that I used since the color is changed when I don't specify any look and feel ...
Do you know how I could resolve this ?

Java Look & Feel in Windows

I would like to implement the Java L&F on windows plattforms with those nice notched, blue title bars. I'm using the crossplattform look and feel from the UIManager (jsdk 1.4.1_01). Everything looks smashing (my scrollbars gets notched...mmm...nice) xept for the titlebars. They are as ugly as everything else in Windows. I'm using JFrames.
Note: When I run javaws apps, some of them get the Java L&F but when I run them as pure Java I'm stuck with Windows-titlebars. Grrr...

Sorry Stevo,
That is not necessarily true.
As of Java 1.4:
JFrame has a method called setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated.
So, before you create any frames if you call:
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);then all of your frames should have what you want, if the l&f supports it.
The Java Look & Feel does support, so that should give you what you need.
