Accessing XI Tables (ABAP Stack) from Java code

Hi,
IS it possible to access tables like SXMSPMAST, SXMSPEMAS directly from Java code without the use of any RFC or BAPI in between?
Cheers,
Earlence

I think it is technically possible, as you can get access to the JDBC Connector service using J2EE's JNDI feature ... Then you can use the internal DB datasource to read data from tables (read ONLY, cuz I'm not sure it is a good idea to update data "outside" the box, and reading can also have potiential perf or stability issue) ... Some (better) methods can also exist !

Accessing variable of a datatable from Java Code

Hello,
I am trying to present a list of objects with a jsf datatable. However, each object needs to be rendered differently, so, I am including another JSP fragment, depending on the datatype.
JSP code follows:
<h:dataTable value="#{pc_ConsultaCliente.dadosCliente.historicoCliente}" var="varhistoricoCliente" styleClass="dataTable" >
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText styleClass="outputText" value="HistoricoCliente"/>
</f:facet>
<%
String toinclude="";
try {
toinclude=FragmentsHandler.getFragmentForBinding(
javax.faces.context.FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(),
"#{varhistoricoCliente}" ,
Contacto.class);
} catch (Exception ex) { throw new RuntimeException(ex); }
%>
<h:panelGroup>
     <jsp:include page="<%= toinclude %>"/>
</h:panelGroup>
</h:column></h:dataTable>
The problem is, when I try to access the varhistoricoCliente from the FragmentsHandler class, I simply can't reach it (I keep on getting null):
In it, I use (I get fc as a Faces Context from the JSP):
public static String getFragmentForBinding(FacesContext fc, String valueBinding, Class defaultClass) throws IOException {
Object o=fc.getApplication().createValueBinding(valueBinding).getValue(fc), defaultClass);
//After this, o just gets null
Is this this right? How can I access the var from the datatable component?
Many thanks!

I'm no JSF expert but I'm not sure your approach can work at all.
I would simplify everything by entering a different tag for each different type of object, and enabling the right one with the "rendered" attribute.
Something like:
<table>
   <column>
     <tag1 rendered="#{myResult.isType1}">...
     <tag2 rendered="#{myResult.isType2}">...
   ...

Can u access Oracle9i Reports objects from Java Code?

Hi,
How can you access Oracle9i Reports (Rel 2) objects like Body, DataSource, Groups etc from Java Code?
What are the available APIs?
I went thru the APIs at http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/docs/Javadocs/oracle/reports/plugin/definition/package-summary.html
However various constructors stated in these APIs are using classes from "oracle.reports.definition" package which are difficult for me to locate.
For eg. Report constructor is using oracle.reports.definition.RWReport and there is no API documentation available for RWReport class.
Please suggest me the site for the above APIs or the method to get a reference to "Report" instance.
Thanks
Rakesh.

Thanks Tugdual for your quick reply.
Thats exactly what I am trying to do. I want to develop a utility which can have a subset of Report Developer's functionality.
Currently using Reports Developer & Report Wizard, I can create a report by providing SQL statement and few parameters (like Report Style, Calculated Fields, Template file etc). I want to put all these parameters in a XML file and run my java utility (based on the APIs which I am looking for) which will use these XML parameter file and generate a '.rdf' file.
Also, could you please suggest me the site for oracle.reports.definition package API or the way to get a reference to oracle.reports.plugin.definition.Report instance.
Thanks,
Rakesh

How to trigger tree table from java code

Trying to trigger tree table from java code, using :
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(treeTableComponent);
But its not working. Am i using the correct approach?

Sorry for the incomplete information,
I have a tree table in a region and that region i am including inside a jspx file. In the region i have one popup and based on the input taken from the popup i want to trigger the table to show the data.
For that i am trying :
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
UIComponent component = findComponent( context.getViewRoot(),"treeTableID");
if(component != null){
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(component);
public static UIComponent findComponent(UIComponent base, String id)
if (id.equals(base.getId()))
return base;
UIComponent children = null;
UIComponent result = null;
Iterator childrens = base.getFacetsAndChildren();
while (childrens.hasNext() && (result == null))
children = (UIComponent) childrens.next();
if (id.equals(children.getId()))
result = children;
break;
result = findComponent(children, id);
if (result != null)
break;
return result;
Model is getting data before i use : AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(component);
But table is not calling getData() in model to show the populated data on UI.

Clear the Filter Criteria from java code programmatically

Hi All,
I am using jdev version 11.1.1.6.0.
I do have ADF table for which I have added filter to each column .
I created table using java class data control.
Filter is working Fine .
My use case is-
When I click on search button data is populated in table.
When anybody enters filter value in column suppose product and hit enter ,it filters data.
if he clears and do not hit enter key and search again then it does not show all data it only show filtered data.
So how can I programmatically clear all filters so on click of search it will show all the values not filtered values.
I have not used default Filter Behavior.
Please check below code for reference
<af:table value="#{bindings.AfMyAccOrderStatusHistorySearchVO.rangeSet}"
                              var="row"

                        </af:column>
So how to clear all filter values from java code.

I can't get the example "Programmatically Manipulating a Table's QBE Filter Fields"
Where is it ?

How to receive an RFC message in PI ABAP stack from ECC

Hi mates,
I am involved in a scenario in which we want to receive a message in PI (ABAP stack) from ECC (ABAP stack as well).
We created a RFC destination (3) in sender system (ECC) so both stacks could be linked. However, we do not know how to receive this message once we are in PI Abap stack.
In sender system code, a call destination takes place, an this destination stands for the one destination i noted before.
BUT, as this RFC does not exist in PI, i wonder what steps have to be done in PI in order to be able to get the message from ECC.
Hope you guys can guide me through this. Any help
Thanks a lot in advance and best regards,
david

Hi Anand,
No no, i do not want to create any sender RFC Comm Channel.
What i want is to receive (by means of no PI adapter) a message in PI (abap stack) from ECC (abap stack), just by a RFC connection (type 3) between both systems.
I will try to explain in more detail what i want to achieve:
1) A standard SAP program is executed in ECC, at the end, a call destination is done.
2) This destination call, calls an RFC destination that points to PI (RFC dest in SM59, type 3)
(Until now, nothing is done in PI, there is no sender adapter, we just linked both ABAP stacks)
3) In ABAP stack of PI, we want to receive the message, make any transformations and send the target emssage to PI adapters
4) From that moment on, a ordinary PI integration is done.
So my question is, what kind of stepd so i have to perform to get the message from ECC in PI without creating any object in PI (ESR, ID, i mean). Just as if we wanted to receive a RFC message, lets say, in BI (abap side) from ECC.
Hope you got me this time.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards,
david

Executing a DDL statement from java code

Hi all,
this is code from jdev11.1.1.3 version. I am trying to execute a DDL statement in oracle db from java code, but "ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement" error is coming.
I am trying to create a table in same schema in same db by using 'Copy' command.
Same DDL command is executing from sql command prompt & table is being created. Plz help me , as how to do from java?
        public String cmb_action() {
        // Add event code here...
        try {
            //getting source db connection
            InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
            DataSource ds = (DataSource) initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/SourceConnDS");
            Connection sourceconn = ds.getConnection();
            sourceconn.setAutoCommit(false);
            String sql = "Copy from myschema/mypass@DB insert t_dept using select * from dept;"
            Statement stat = sourceconn.createStatement();
            stat.executeUpdate(sql);
            sourceconn.commit();
            System.out.println("done");
          catch (Exception ne) {
            // TODO: Add catch code
            ne.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }

I have a requirement to transfer data from one db to another db from Java Application Layer.Maybe, maye not. We get all sorts of weird "requirements" - which are nothing but thoughts or proposed solutions.
But,
Did the "requirement" mention whether the table existed already or not in the target database? - If not, did it tell you to create it - drop/create it?
Did the "requirement" deliver some explanation to why this copying was neeeded? - Are we talking replication? - Or a one time cloning?
Etc, etc,
Personally I would always argue against a "reuirement" like that. - It just isn't the way to do it. Period.
Regards
Peter
P.S: If you are satisfied with what COPY does, then you could let Java make an OS call and do it from there?

Ask from Java code if service runs

Hi,
i have a service, com.business.company.navigation.connector
running as ear on sap portal server.
Is there a way to ask from Java code if this service is running or not!?
I found following code which shows how access the portal runtime to get
default portal services:
NavigationEventsHelperService helperService = (NavigationEventsHelperService) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(NavigationEventsHelperService.KEY);
Thanks for any hint.

Calling inactive version of ABAP object from Java

Hello,
When I call an ABAP object from Java Program which version of ABAP object is called inactive or active ?
Is there a mechanism to call the current inactive version or any other previous inactive /active versions ?
Regards,
Tarun

Only the "active" version of ABAP code is active and runnable.
You cannot run inactive versions. Like you have to compile a .java file to a .class file o make it runnable in the JVM.

Executing jar from java code, then kill parent java code

Please suggest if there is any best way around on executing jar from java code then killing parent java code.
a) I have desktop based java application say "Monitor.java" which runs every 5 minutes.
b) How can I START external java application say "execute.jar" from Monitor.java THEN EXIT Monitor.java
I tried various options using "ProcessBuilder" and calling bat file but I need Monitor (parent application to EXIT, immediately after calling child (execute.jar)
Try1) ProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder("java -jar execute.jar");
Process process = builder.start();
Try2) Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = null;
p = r.exec(new String[] { "cmd", "/c", "start C:/temp/Test.bat" });

Starting exetutable java file from java code

Hi I was wondering how I can start a executable java file from java code?
thanks

Hi Mkaveli,
Yes, it's possible. If you have a JAR executable, you've just to call the main method of its starter class. For a simple executable class, just call its main method.
This way :
SomeStarter.main(null); // if there's no argumentSmall precision : the executable JAR or class must be specified in the classpath of your application.

How to modify an existing xml file from java code.

Hi
I have worked on creating a new xml file from java code using xmlbeans.But if i try to modify an already existing file using java code I am unable to get errorfree xmlfile.
For example if xml file(studlist.xml) is as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<StudentList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="D:\kchaitanya\xmlprac1\abc\Studlist.xsd">
     <Student>
          <Name>ram</Name>
          <Age>27</Age>
     </Student>
<Student>
          <Name>sham</Name>
          <Age>26</Age>
     </Student>
</StudentList>
Now suppose i have set name to victor using student.setName,
and set age to 20 using setAge from javacode,
the new xml file is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<StudentList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="D:\kchaitanya\xmlprac1\abc\Studlist.xsd">
     <Student>
          <Name>ram</Name>
          <Age>27</Age>
     </Student>
<Student>
          <Name>sham</Name>
          <Age>26</Age>
     </Student>
</StudentList>
<Student>
          <Name>victor</Name>
          <Age>20</Age>
     </Student>
As observed this is not a valid xml file.But how can i modify without any errors?

I know it's an old post, but I found this while doing a google search for something else, and don't like to leave it un-aswered
Just in case anyone has a similar problem... In this case the new elements have been appended outside of the root element
What you need to do is first get the root element and then append the new children to that, there are several ways of getting the root element, which depend on what you want to do with the elements you get back here's a simple (incomplete) way.
// gets the root element of the specified file (code not shown)
Element rootElement= new SAXReader().read(file).getRootElement();Then just append the new elements as below (this is non-generic code and would need to be modified for your situation)
// write a new student element
Element student = document.createElement("Student"); // creates the new student
rootElement.appendChild(student); // ***appends it to the root element***
Element name = document.createElement("Name"); // creates the name element
name.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Fred")); // adds the name text to the name element
student.appendChild(name); // appends the name to the student
Element age= document.createElement("Age"); // creates the age element
age.appendChild(document.createTextNode("26")); // adds the age text to the age element
student.appendChild(age); // appends the name to the studentThen flush ya buffers or whatever and write the file

Hi,
Back in 2003 I have used an Applet which contain java code and this java code was calling the java scripts ( different methods, DHTML etc..)
There was a component developed by NetScape called JSObject I am not sure it there is other third party component other then the JSObject
look at this article which shows how (based on JSObject)
