9.0.3 Bug Report:Attribute Wizard:Control Hints

I've run into a major bug in 9.0.3 Preview.
I was editing the display hints for an EO. I double-clicked on the last attribute in the list and nothing happened for a little while (2 seconds?). So I double-clicked the attribute again. When the Attribute Wizard came back up, it had an unexpected error dialog. Since I'm not on the computer that has the error (not connected to Internet), I'll give you a brief overview of the trace:
java.lang.NullPointerException

EventDispatchThread.java:93
void java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run()
EventDispatchThread.java:85
Since the Hints "tab" was pre-selected, I received this error for all further Attributes I tried to open via the Attribute Wizard.
When I exited and re-started JDev 9.0.3, I was able to see other properties of all Attributes except the Hints properties (same error as before). Once the Hints "tab" is selected, moving to any other "tab" reports the error.
If you need further information, please feel free to contact me via e-mail or telephone.
Is there any workaround or fix for this, once it has happened?
Thanks, George

No upgrade. I started an entire new project from scratch in 9.0.3.
Just checked an un-compromised Attribute in an un-compromised Entity. Same problem. Trace follows:

Bug editing report attributes in Firefox

Has anybody logged this problem before?
It occurs in Apex 2.2 and 3.0 and FireFox 2.2, but I cannot reproduce it using IE6.
Open a page with a report region and go to the report attributes.
Look at the Headings Type and remember the setting.
Edit one of the columns using the "pencil icon".
Go back to the report attributes using the back button in the browser.
The Headings Type has changed!
This can cause you to lose your custom headings.
Rob

from someone who clearly knew HTMLDB/Apex inside and out I'd say 'clearly not' if they said it wouldn't work on other browsers than IE ;)
Unless you're misquoting or mis-remembering what they actually said then that statement you heard was in direct conflict with the "Supported Browsers" section of the documentation -
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32472_01/doc/relnotes.300/b32465/toc.htm#BGBCEGBI
which quotes -
To view or develop Oracle Application Express applications, Web browsers
must support JavaScript and the HTML 4.0 and CSS 1.0 standards. The
following browsers meet this requirement:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher (Windows only)
Firefox 1.0 or higherI'll also add that 'officially supported' and 'will work' are actually two different things. I use a Mac and my browser of choice is usually Safari or Firefox and whilst Safari is not 'officially supported' the APEX Application Builder works absolutely fine (the SQL Workshop does not work though). However pretty much every application that I develop with APEX will also work in Safari quite happily.
not like those fly by night trainers who just go on the course themselves to teach it the next >week straight from the notes as I've seen on a few of the coursesI'm not sure who you're referring to specifically, but as with any course the best people (I have found) to teach are those people who do use the product day in and day out and have a passion for it, so perhaps it's another good opportunity to point out the following link -
European APEX Training
http://eurotraining.apex-evangelists.com/
(end of shameless self-advertising ;)
There are also many other great teaching courses around, including the event at ODTUG -
http://www.odtugapextraining.com/
and trust me...you won't hear anyone saying things like "APEX doesn't work in anything else but IE" at any of these training events ;)

Wizard control trigger transition

Hi,
I encountered a problem with the Wizard Control of VC7.1 SP4
I have a wizard with several steps which are shown as numbers in the upper wizard bar in the correct order. If I trigger a transition from step 1 to step 3 the wizard bar now only shows the numbers 1 and 3. After a transition to from step 3 to step 2, the wizard bar shows the steps in the order 1 3 2.
Is this a bug? Where is the correct place to report VC bugs? There are some more VC controls with odd behavior which should be fixed in the next service pack.
Regards,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Did you use actions to switch between the wizard steps?
If so, this may be the reason.
The wizard road-map (the numbers on the top), are calculated when the wizard is drawn on the screen for the first time.
However, this calculation is done only according to the default transition lines and ignores transition actions.
So if there are no transition lines, the road-map will show only steps the user has already visited.
To fix that, you need to connect the steps with default transition lines in the order you wish them to appear. The transition lines don't have to do anything, just be there so the default route will be calculated correctly.
I have created two screenshots that will help you find how to create transitin lines and how to select which is the default transition (in case you have more than one transition form a single step):

I hope this helps,

[JList] serious bug: readonly attribute should not disable jlist nav

Hi,
I've got a JList with a navigation binding. As display attribute, I chose an attribute that is read-only (Updateable: "Never").
Now the entire list becomes disabled. The fact that the field I'm displaying is readonly, does not mean that the navigation should be disabled. I want to be able to navigate through the records, which has no influence on the values of the attribute, so I see no reason why this is disabled.
Something similar was already discussed here: re:Bug: JList does not always show the right selection
but Shailesh could not reproduct it at that time. I've got a reproducable testcase now.
By the way, it's fairly easy to create your own testcase:
- Create an Entity with a default view object, and set the primary key (for example 'Id') to Updateable: Never.
- Populate the table with a few records.
- Create a JClient with a default form and panel to edit the data.
- Add a JList to the panel and bind it as a navigation binding to the view object, and select Id as display attribute.
- Run the app. You'll see that you can't use the list to navigate through the records. This should however be possible, as long as you don't change the values.
I would like to file this as a bug report, and more importantly, I would like to know if there's a workaround I can try (calling setEnabled(true) on the JList from inside jbInit doesn't seem to work).
Greetings,
Ivo

The same problem goes for the JCombBox with a navigational binding. Once the binding involves a non-updatable attribute, the control goes disabled.
I have solved this by creating my own sub-class of JComboBox which cannot be disabled. It overrides the setEnabled(boolean) method and does nothing (no call to super.setEnabled()). So, whenever I need a JComboBox with a navigational binding, I use this sub-class.
To work around your problem, I would suggest you create a JList subclass which also overrides the setEnabled() method and replace your JList instances with ones of the new clas.

Bug report: 3.2; DAC; GridControl; Navigation - Invalid reaction to mouse drag

Hi,
This is a bug report, I think.
I have a one-column GridControl with mandatory column. Normally, DAC framework prohibits from navigation out of empty field and emits one of those DAC-1002 or DAC-603 errors. The only exception I noticed was a double-click on another row. In this case navigation allowed but an error is still produced.
Today I was playing with this GridControl and discovered that I can drag the yellow frame across rows. And here comes a bug - GridControl doesn't change the current row on InfoBus according to current selection marked by yellow frame.
In my case it brings the following problem: if the cursor is placed on the new empty row, user drags the cursor to another row and then tries to use any other navigation means except dragging, he gets a navigation error. DAC framework still thinks that the current row is the empty one and produces an error telling that the attribute cannot be empty.
Dev Team, any comments?
Regards,
Vladimir

Hmm... Nobody answers. I'll try another variation of the same question.
DAC framework implicitly validates attributes on the base of Mandatory constraint in the Entity Object definition. Is it possible to set the level of this validation? For example, I want to conduct validation only when user navigates out of the row or the whole rowset, but not when he just leaves a field.
Regards,
Vladimir

BUG REPORT FIRMWARE 5.1.7 PLEASE FORWARD TO SUPERVISOR....

BUG REPORT FIRMWARE 5.1.7 PLEASE FORWARD TO SUPERVISOR.
The spa-3102 has the following two bugs.
When the unit sends a hook-flash to the fxo port it:
a) does not send the hook flash to the fxo port for PSTN Hook Flash Len: Instead it uses a very short pulse of about 100ms or 1/10 of a second. It should honor the PSTN Hook Flash Len configurable parameter of .2 – 1.5 seconds.
b) Does not change the line voltage from –7 (off-hook) to –48(on-hook) during a flash-hook to the fxo port. Instead it varies the voltage only by about 2.5 volts.
This was reported as early as June 07 to linksys support. It is reported they agreed and would fix in the next firmware release. There is info that firmware 5.2 being released and is this fix in 5.2 and how can I get it.

Although the problem is still not solved, at least I now know WHY the problem is happening... and Apple's Firmware Update is NOT to blame!
Through a series of coincidences, I was actually lucky enough to get in touch with the engineers in Apple's Airport firmware division, and they were helping me to nail down this problem.
Turns out that Apple takes great PRIDE in the fact that they are one of the VERY FEW manufacturers who make routers that behave properly in this regards: they SPECIFICALLY test for their Airport Extreme routers to allow you to connect to servers behind the NAT by way of the public WAN IP address of the NAT box. This is the way that apparently the NAT/DHCP specification is SUPPOSED TO WORK! You're SUPPOSED to be able to connect this way, if you so desire.
So what was causing the problem on my network, then?
Something I hadn't thought about... the Vonage Linksys RTP300 router that we're using for our Vonage VoIP service. Turns out that this router does NOT support clients behind the NAT connecting to servers behind the NAT by way of the public WAN IP address.
Linksys is to blame, not Apple!
And apparently, this feature may have actually been working in an earlier
firmware update, but apparently, Vonage AUTOMATICALLY pushes firmware
updates to RTP300's, apparently without user notification:
<http://www.vonage.com/help.php?article=1066&category=90&nav=5>
And a forum thread on vonage-forums.com seems to indicate that the 1.00.60 firmware in the RTP300 started getting pushed to customer units on or before 1/26/06, making it less than a month after Apple shipped the 5.7 firmware update for AirPort Extreme Base Stations:
<http://www.vonage-forum.com/ftopic10915.html>. So if the problem cropped up then, it's possible that I accidentally attributed it to Apple when really the RTP300 got a firmware update around then too which may have broken this feature (assuming it was working before then).

Sorting images mislabeled in Report Attributes?

I added some custom images in the Sorting section of the Report Attributes. When I ran the report the images displayed were opposite of what I expected (i.e. the descending image displayed for an ascending sort and vice versa.) Upon further investigation it appears that the labels in the Sorting section are indeed reversed. The descending image is displayed when the sort order is ascending and vice versa. Is this a bug?

Erik,
Thanks, this explains it. By specifying the request as part of your URL you run into the recently uncovered issue. The request you're setting is REMFROMLIST and ADD2LIST. You probably either have links that include those requests or you have branches where you specify them. Either way, in order to get reports sorting to work, you'll have to make sure that the request strings are not part of your URL. This is a work-around and the upcoming HTML DB patch release will solve this issue.
One way of avoiding this is to have computations on the previous pages that set a napplication level or page level item to the REMFROMLIST and ADD2LIST values and then you can use those items for your conditions that are currently evaluating those strings.
Hope this helps and sorry for the inconvenience,
Marc

Bug (reported to Apple) - Slide to unlock occasionally fails!

Hello folks,
Below is a copy of my bug report, I just missed an urgent call (with no call back number)... so I was prompted to finally report this problem!
Has anyone experienced this (I noticed some similar reports but none that exactly match my description).
NOTE: Please do not suggest that I turn off the "Slide to unlock" feature. I need to engage it, otherwise I will lose access to my corporate email.
Report----------------
Phone: iPhone 4
iOS: 4.3 (8F190)
I am experiencing a problem with the Slide to Unlock feature.
It is an inconsistent problem which is hard to repeat intentionally. However, it seems to occur randomly, about every 1 in 15 calls.
I believe the conditions related to the problem are as follows:
- Phone enters Auto-Lock mode (5 minutes)
Password Lock is engaged
- Screen off (phone not in use for more than 5 minutes)
Problem description:
When I receive phone call, I attempt to slide the "Slide to unlock" slider to the right. The slider does move to the right as intended, however, it has no affect on displaying the keypad.
The expected result should be the numeric keypad so that I can enter my keycode. As previously mention, these actions to answer a call do work more than 90% of time.
Additionally, pressing the Home button or the power button also has no affect while the phone is still ringing.
Only after the ringing has stopped do I regain control of the phone.
Note: This is not a new problem with iOS: 4.3 (8F190), rather, this did begin with the last iOS version.

Mine did it too, I would swipe the slide to unlock and the first attempt
failed usually 50% of time. I've since reactivated my old Nokia N95 until
we see what the next gen iPhone holds for us. My iPhone 4 was nothing
but trouble.
Despite this problem (which occurs rarely) and a few other idiosyncrasies, I can't agree with your statement. Since upgrading from the Android platform, the iPhone 4 is (by far) the very best phone I have ever owned!
It is hard to feel sorry for all those Android 'suckers' out there still complaining and hating their service providers for not releasing the latest aOS fixes. Complaining about bugs that will likely never get fixed...that is unless they upgrade to new Android hardware. Android... NEVER AGAIN!
BTW, I am no fanboy... I am just pleased with the iPhone user experience!

Bug Report Problem

I think there's a bug in the "bug report" procedure. Says I'm signed in but on next page says sign-in which takes me in a loop.

I have move my 5 x LC around, rebuild pref ?
yes, something like that. Firstly I would try to bring the LCs and XTs to default. Choose "Logic Pro/Preferences.../Control Surfaces/Rebuild Defaults".
If that doesn't help shut down all your devices and delete them from the CS-setup window. Quit Logic and delete
~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.cs
start Logic. When started switch on the LCs one after the other from left to right.
If that doesn't help, re-write the firmware. And if that doesn't help or if you already did all this:
sorry!
cheers

ITunes desperately needs bug reporting tools

Since this is the closest I'm going to get, I'd like to say that for some reason, if iTunes is minimized, whenever I use my media keys for volume (V up/down or mute), it gets counted twice. Works fine if iTunes is closed or focused, but otherwise, it doesn't. I also only noticed this behavior in iTunes 7.1.1. Why do all of their .1 releases break the control interface? 7.0.1 didn't let external programs control iTunes. Stupid people.

hi Lance!
actually we've also got (at long last) a dedicated itunes application feedback form now. it has a "bug report" feedback category. here's a link through to that:
iTunes application feedback
the following page is also helpful ... it contains all the Apple product feedback forms (including the QuickTime one, and all the different iPod ones):

Bug report: Reordering columns

Version 2.2
Came across a major bug in the reorder columns feature in Report Attributes
1. Create a report region with the following query
select
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7,
8,
9,
10,
11,
12,
13,
14,
15
from dual2. Click on Report Attributes
3. Uncheck the Show checkbox on columns 5 and 6
4. Click Apply Changes
5. Click the Down arrow on Column 15 to move it to the first position
6. Click on the Edit icon on Column 15 (or any other column) to go the Column Attributes page
7. Without changing anything, click Apply Changes on the Column Attributes page to come back to Report Attributes
Now, instead of Columns 5 and 6 having their Show checkbox unchecked, columns 4 and 5 have it unchecked!
[I have a report region with 2 dozen fields and a bunch of internal PK fields are not shown on the report so they had their Show checkbox unchecked. I re-ordered a bunch of fields and ran the report and was shocked to see all the internal fields exposed the the real fields hidden!]
Thanks

Carl:
Any update on this? What is the cause of the bug? Is there another workaround?
[It is very easy to forget to click Apply Changes after using the arrows to move the columns up and down and instead click on the Edit Column attributes icon and boom, that just messed up the columns' visibility on the report!]
Apex reports in general and the Report Attributes page is probably one of the most heavily used pages in the Builder so I think this is a critical issue.
Thanks for any update.

Cannot access report attributes for editing

I have a report/form combination. It's been working fine (both editing and running). I have made some changes to the report region definition source, successfully applied them, and they work as expected. However, I cannot (since yesterday, though it was fine before) access the report attributes. In the page definition, if I click on the 'report' to edit the report columns, I get an Internet Explorer error that the page cannot be found. Same thing if I try to access the report attributes by editing the region (the region definition and print attributes are fine, only the report attributes are inaccessible).
I thought I'd start over, just to see if that helped. I created a new report/form combination on the same table, and on this new report I still cannot access the report columns.
Has anyone seen this problem before?
thanks,
Carol

Please ignore this; the issue was needing a patch to handle a bug.

How to make RTF avalilble for download in the Report Attributes

I cannot see the RTF download in the Report Attributes of a Interactive report. Also, it may be related, I have that no printer servcer is configured. I have no idea where to llok, since in the installation guide says nothing about this.
Any dirrection will be appreciate it.
Thank you.
My APEX 4.0 version is:
Product Build: 4.0.2.00.07
Schema Compatibility: 2010.05.13

I found the following: About Report Printing Configuration Options
Standard Support. Enables you to print report regions and report queries using either the built-in templates (provided with a standard XSL-FO processing engine), or other XSL-FO compatible formats you provide. This setting does not support RTF.
Standard Support provides declarative formatting of report regions and report queries with basic control over page attributes, including page orientation, page size, column heading formats, page header, and page footer.
Advanced Support. Requires a valid license of Oracle BI Publisher (also known as Oracle XML Publisher). This setting, provides you with all the capabilities of the Standard configuration plus the ability to define RTF-based report layouts developed using the BI Publisher Word Template Builder.
So Oracle BI Publisher is needed for RTF to be enabled.

Mapping Report Attributes to Substitution Variables

Is there somewhere in the documentation that defines what fields on the Report Attributes tab map to which Substitution Variables in the Report Template?

Hi,
Copying from the documentation:
Report column templates provide you with control over the results of a row from a SQL query. This type of template defines a cell, not an entire row.
Each report template identifies column names using the syntax #1#, #2#, #3#, and so on. You can also name columns using column name substitution syntax such as #ENAME# or #EMPNO#. You can reference any item from your application within your template. For example, to reference an item called ABC. in your template, you could include the exact substitution string &ABC.. The actual value of ABC. would be provided by an end user editing an item in your application named ABC.
You can read more here: 13.2 Customizing Templates.
Thank you,
Erick
