Very big problem with JSF about FORM and "id=" for HTML form's elements and

I have discovered a very big problem with JSF about FORM and "id=" for HTML form's elements and java instruction "request.getParameterNames()".
Suppose you have something like this, to render some datas form a Java Beans :
<h:dataTable value="#{TablesDb2Bean.myDataDb2ListSelection}" var="current" border="2" width="50%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style="text-align: center">
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Name"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText id="nameTableDb2" value="#{current.db2_name_table}"/>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
Everything works fine...
Suppose you want to get the name/value pairs for id="nameTableDb2" and #{current.db2_name_table} to process them in a servlet. Here is the HTML generated :
<td><span <span class="attribute-name">id=<span class="attribute-value">"j_id_jsp_1715189495_22:0:nameTableDb2">my-table-db2-xxxxx</span></td>
You think you can use the java instructions :
Enumeration NamesParam = request.getParameterNames();
while (NomsParam.hasMoreElements()) {
String NameParam = (String) NamesParam.nextElement();
out.println("<h4>"++NameParam+ "+</h4>);
YOU ARE WRONG : request.getParameterNames() wants the syntax *name="nameTableDb2" but JSF must use id="nameTableDb2" for "<h:outputText"... So, you can't process datas in a FORM generated with JSF in a Servlet ! Perhaps I have made an error, but really, I wonder which ?

While I certainly appreciate ejb's helpful responses, this thread shows up a difference in perspective between how I read the forum and how others do. Author ejb is correct in advising you to stay inside JSF for form processing if form processing is what you want to do.
However, I detect another aspect to this post which reminds me of something Marc Andreesen once said when he was trying to get Netscape off the ground: "there's no such thing as bad HTML."
In this case, I interpret ungar's request as a new feature request. Can I phrase it like this?
"Wouldn't it be nice if I could render my nice form with JSF but, in certain cases, when I REALLY know what I'm doing" just post out to a separate servlet? I know that in this case I'll be missing out on all the nice validation, conversion, l10n, i18n, ajax, portlet and other features provided by JSF".
If this is the case, because it really misses the point of JSF, we don't allow it, but we do have an issue filed for it
https://javaserverfaces-spec-public.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=127
If you can't wait for it to be fixed, you could decorate the FormRenderer to fix what you want.
I have an example in my JSF book that shows how to do this decoration. http://bit.ly/edburnsjsf2

How do you extract SQL from Oracle Forms and Reports files?

I am developing an "as is" data model for a government client for a 14 year old system that has three databases, 20 schemas, over 1500 tables, and over 23,000 columns. Needless to say, I do not plan to perform a manual mapping of data to screens and reports.
Most of the system has been developed in Oracle Forms and Reports. I am trying to map the live tables and columns to forms and reports.
The process here has been to save the forms and reports files as .fmb and .rdf files. The client does not have an available copy of Oracle Designer, which I understand could be used to extract the SQL.
Is there a utility somewhere that can parse the .fmb and .rdf files to extract the SQL?
Thanks,
Jim Gearing

Jim,
I don't know of any utility that will do this. You can convert and save each fmb as a fmt so you can view/search the contents , but I don't recommend that approach.
On the other hand, you download a copy of Oracle Designer:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html
It usually is included with Oracle Forms and Reports.

CF 10 CFML function, tag definitions and help files in DW cs6

I'm unable to view the new CF 10 CFML function, tag definitions and help files in DW CS6 after using the ColdFusion10_Tags_for_DW.mxp update file. I see that the 'CF10 Extensions' are enabled in Adobe Extension Manager CS6.
When I pull up the Reference tab Book: 'Adobe CF Function Reference', I don't see canonicalize in the drop down of 'CFFunctions'.
Is there an issue with updating the extensions within DW CS6?
Any help would be great.
Garth

I am afraid http://forums.adobe.com/community/coldfusion is more suitable for this question.

Once more about "black" and "white" file lists.

Hello everyone!
I've got a task to find all unauthorized executables on all workstations in domain. The good point is that workstations are identical to each other (both hard and soft), bad point is that I have to find the existence of this files on HDDs, not their
launches. And I have to use SCCM 2012 SP1 for reporting as well. That's why I cannot use the AppLocker.
Well, what I've decided to do is to take one of workstations as the sample (SW - sample workstation). All updates, patches, etc. are provided at SW first, then are spread on whole domain. All .exe (and another file masks) on SW are presumed as "white",
all others on workstations are presumed as "black" ones.What I need now is to compare white-list from SW with file list from every computer in collection.
There already exists almost ready-to-use report that I need, but it has to be modified. Unfortunately, my knowledge of MS SQL is somewhere below zero (maybe absolute zero, -274C :) ). Thats,s why I'm asking for help. I've tried to find some articles about
creating or modifying reports, but most of them are the same: "Open Report Builder, now copy and paste there the sample query from below. Wonder what a pretty report you've got!"
The report is "Compare software inventory on two computers". What modifications do I need:
- Compare not "Computer name - Computer name" but "Computer name - Select a collection"
- Exclude files from white-list (from SW) from report.
- Exclude size, version and time check - only existence and (maybe) the difference in path..
- Group by machine name.
Maybe instead of ready query you can advice me some good article like "Composing reports in Report Builder for absolute newbies", I'll appreciate it very much as well.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely, Alexey

Hello, Daniel!
Thank you very much for your answer it was really helpful.
I really would like to delegate this report to programmers department but the problem is that they know nothing about SCCM, so I should explain to them what is SCCM, what is 'device collection' and all other things. Moreover, I've managed to find the list
of functions for SCCM 2012, but I didn't find the list of SQL views for it, found only for SCCM 2007 and I'm not sure that it will suit for 2012.
Well, I'm not too old yet to start learning something new :) , so I'll try to deal with this report myself.
Thank you again for your help.
Sincerely, Alexey.

About "Upload and download files from ADF into blob type colum."

hi
Using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0 I have tried the example available for download from this blog post by Jakub Pawlowski:
"Upload and download files from ADF into blob type colum."
at http://kuba.zilp.pl/?id=1
First a thank you to Jakub for this interesting example.
I have a question about a PDF file that I uploaded using the example.
The file has a size of 10445518 bytes.
After I upload that file, the blob column has a value with a size of 10445516 bytes, 2 bytes less.
SQL> select file_name, dbms_lob.getlength(stored_file) from blob_table;
FILE_NAME
DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(STORED_FILE)
ADF-DeveloperGuide-4GL-B25947_01.pdf
                       10445516If I download that file using the example, it has the same size as the blob value, 10445516 bytes.
If I open the downloaded file, using Adobe Reader 8.1.1, it first shows this message:
"The file is damaged but is being repaired."
After that, there is not problem using the PDF file in Adobe Reader.
I have tried this with both Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox 2.0.0.11.
I have also tried this with other (smaller) files, and those upload and download correctly.
question:
Why are those 2 bytes lost during upload?
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

Hi!
I can only post you my code that works for me and as I said I had same problems but can't remember what solved them. My code:
public void fileUploaded(ValueChangeEvent event)
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    UploadedFile file = (UploadedFile) event.getNewValue();
    if (file != null && file.getLength() > 0)
      // here I have some messages written and a call to the method on AM to save the uploaded file to the DB
private BlobDomain newBlobDomainForInputStream(InputStream in)
    throws SQLException, IOException
    BlobDomain loBlob = new BlobDomain();
    OutputStream out = loBlob.getBinaryOutputStream();
    writeInputStreamToWriter(in, out);
    in.close();
    out.close();
    return loBlob;
private static void writeInputStreamToWriter(InputStream in,
                                               OutputStream out)
    throws IOException
    byte[] buffer = new byte[8192];
    int charsRead = 0;
    while ((charsRead = in.read(buffer, 0, 8192)) != -1)
      out.write(buffer, 0, charsRead);
   * Launch the upload - see fileUploaded() for actual upload handling.
   * @return null navigation event - we stay on this page
public String UploadButton_action()
    if (this.getMyInputFile().getValue() == null)
      FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
      FacesMessage message =
        new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_WARN, JSFUtils.getStringFromBundle("fileupload.emptyfielderror"),
                         null);
      context.addMessage(this.getMyInputFile().getId(), message);
    return null;
   * Setter for inputFile UI Component.
   * @param inputFile inputFile UI component
public void setMyInputFile(CoreInputFile inputFile)
    this.myInputFile = inputFile;
   * Getter for inputFile UI Component.
   * @return inputFile UI component
public CoreInputFile getMyInputFile()
    return myInputFile;
}fileUploaded is a valueChangeListener on inputFile and UploadButton_action is as the name says the action for upload button.
Hope this helps. If not, than your problem is probably not the same as mine was, although the message about file corrupted was the same.
Next thing you can check in this case is if your file exceeds max file upload size. I don't know the exact default value, but if the file is too long I think this upload logic will upload only a part of the file and save it to the DB which can also lead to the same file corrupted error.
You can set the max upload value in web.xml like this:
<context-param>

<param-name>oracle.adf.view.faces.UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY</param-name>

<param-value>5120000</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>

<param-name>oracle.adf.view.faces.UPLOAD_MAX_DISK_SPACE</param-name>

<param-value>15360000</param-value>
</context-param>

Updated to itunes 10.5 and Help files are not accessible

I have updated my itunes to 10.5 today but now the Help files are not accessible. I receive the following message - the request URL/itunes/win/10.5was not found on this server - Apache/2.2.3 (Oracle) Server at help.apple.com Port 80.

I have seen this before. You need to update the apps in your app store, and once they are updated, they will work again.

Grapher - Importing Points, and Help File problem.

For some reason, I can't get the help file to load on Grapher to load. I have repaired permissions, but the thing will go no further than show me the entry page to Grapher help. Any searching just throws an error to the Console.
What I am actually trying to find out how to do is to import points into Grapher. There is an Edit Points option. From within the dialog that comes up, there is a button to import data to the application. I have been unable to get this to actually DO anything, and no error or alert is given despite what I provide as input.
Any ideas.
Grapher, btw. is a neat program, but the user interface is godawful. It really is organized pretty badly, IMHO.

Hi, Skip.
1. You wrote: "For some reason, I can't get the help file to load on Grapher to load. I have repaired permissions, but the thing will go no further than show me the entry page to Grapher help."See the "Help Viewer links do not work" section of my "Troubleshooting Help Viewer" FAQ.
2. You wrote: "What I am actually trying to find out how to do is to import points into Grapher. There is an Edit Points option. From within the dialog that comes up, there is a button to import data to the application. I have been unable to get this to actually DO anything, and no error or alert is given despite what I provide as input."I played around with this a bit using the Default graph type.
It appears that the data set you import has to be formatted in columns of x, y, and z coordinates (two columns for 2D graph). It appears to assume a plain text file with the (x,y,z) triplets on individual lines (Return at the end of each line), and tabs between the x, y, and z coordinates for a given point. For example, a data set you could create in TextEdit.
The Import option permits you to specify other options for handling the data you are importing, such as using a comma as the separator (vs. tab) in (x,y,z) triplets, ala CSV (comma-separated values) data sets you might export from Excel and then want to import to Grapher.
Also, if you want to import points for a new data set so you can compare two different sets of data in a single graph, you first need to add (Click [+] in the lower-left border of Grapher) a new data set, then import the data into such. If you simply choose Edit Points > Import with an existing data set, the points you import are added to the currently selected data set in the Equations column.
None of this is documented in Grapher's Help. I basically had to experiment with it to discern the info above.
3. You wrote: "Grapher, btw. is a neat program, but the user interface is godawful. It really is organized pretty badly, IMHO."I agree. The application does need a good bit of improvement w.r.t. Help details and interface design. I suggest you submit a Mac OS X Feedback.
Good luck!

Different font between Word and Help file

Hi,
I have a Word file in Arial 10, and the help file created
with RH (WinHelp 4) appears in Times New Roman 9 (or so). What is
wrong ?
Thanks for your help,
Sorrindo

Someone else reported just a couple of days ago that the
patch had not worked for them and cited another Microsoft patch as
causing the problem. Search back and see if removing that patch
fixes things. If it does, check with your IT people they are happy
to remove the patch.
Post back if stuck.

Jd3.0 and help files

I would like to put the web help files on a web server in our
intranetso that everyone will have access to them without the
need of installing them on everyone's computer. I have not been
able to find a setting with in the program. I have tried
editing the jdeveloper.ini file HelpBase attribute to
http://intranet/doc but this does not work. JDeveloper says
something about unable to locate installed help.
how can i go about doing this? is it possible?
thanks

David,
This is not a supported configuration.
However, here are the instructions for
doing so, but you may get sharing errors:
1. Exit JDeveloper if running.
2. Map a drive letter to our network location Example: net use s: \\ABC-Shared\JDevDocs
3. Edit your jdeveloper.ini (or jayva.tmp if jdev hasn't run yet) located in the [JDeveloper]\bin
directory.
4. Change the HelpBase= from ..\doc to s:\doc. This is the 4th entry. Use
your mapped drive letter.
Thanks,

Help needed about HTTPS and policy files !!

Hi everyone,
my Web Start application crashes with a SSLPeerUnverifiedException when I
try to connect to the server with HTTPClient :
// proxy settings
HTTPConnection.setProxyServer(ipProxy, portProxy);
// connection
HTTPConnection con = new HTTPConnection("https", serverName, -1);
// Post (then there is a SSLPeerUnverifiedException....)
HTTPResponse rsp = con.Post("/myurl.jsp, toSend, ct_hdr);
My application runs in a secure environnement configured by the javaws.policy :
grant codeBase "file:${jnlpx.home}/javaws.jar" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
and the ${user.home}.java.policy (shared by another application, an applet I think) :

very very strange...
my application is launched by Web Start 1.2 and use JRE 1.4.1
Any ideas ? Please, I become crazy...

In this file (.java.policy) when I replace "codebase
"https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/-""
by "codebase "http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/-"" everything
works fine !! I am not so sure that a code source cares for whether the resource is downloaded with s-http or normal http. Is the distinction important for the policy file?
You could go digging in the RFC that describes what a URL is (because that is what the code source is).
Also you could switch on a nice flag in you server environment that output information if security things go wrong: -Djava.security.debug=failure
In the output you should see from where your code is loaded. If it says http and not https, then that is what should appear in your policy file.
