Adding a Custom Component to Check-In Operation

Hi everyone,
Our technical knowledge is very basic in UCM and ECM.
We are trying to add a JSP component which must have some interaction with the user just before a Check-in operation which should be consumed in the client's web browser.
Can anyone please point me in the right directions for creating such a schema. We are learning stuff such as Custom Components, Component Wizard, presentation of UCM data through JSON, JSP components, Dynamic Server Pages. We have found the product amazing so far just like every other Fusion Middleware product.
But still it is too early for us to decide what we should go with. Any info would be so much appreciated. I thought we could try a trigger before a Check-in operation through Content Profile, which would open a custom JSP added to UCM as a custom component. But it is very in-mature as you can point out.
Thanks.

What's the flow here?
Do you want to pop-up a JSP in a window to prompt the user for extra information before submitting the check-in form? If so, you need a custom component to override the resource that draws the "submit" button on the form.
Or, do you want to execute something like a web service during the check-in process? If so, do a validateStandard filter. See the 'DynamicPrefix' comonent in the howtocomponents:

Declaratively adding a custom component

I have extended a OAFlowLayout bean. When I add a region, the region style can be stated declaratively in the properties of the region. I would like my region to be added to that list. I imagine that I am extending JDeveloper and what it shows in the dropdown list that is displayed. I am wondering what I need to do so my component can be added to that list and used.

The requirement is to have tabs underneath the subTabLayout. It is understood that subtabs nested in subtabs are not allowed. My current solution is to subclass a layout and add the component programically. The number of tabs can be variable. Any ideas on how to do this is appriciated.

Daryl

How to add default values when adding custom component to design view?

I have a set of custom components (usually) extending Spark components. But when adding our custom component onto design view, how can I define defult values (in AS3).
For example, s:Button has default label = 'Button' when added to application, or mx:DataGrid has 3 columns predefined, but when using custom components there are no predefined values like this.
I can put this values in constructor, but they are not visible in design time, only runtime.
Any ideas? Thanks
Esmin

yes, I am. By the way I've found the solution. Someone might find this usefull.
In design.xml having
<component name="ExtendedTextInput" namespace="mynamespace" category="beta" displayName="ExtendedTextInput"/>
use this
<component name="ExtendedTextInput" namespace="mynamespace" category="beta" displayName="ExtendedTextInput">
<defaultAttribute name="text" value="ExtendedTextInput"/>
</component>
so when adding this component to design view, it will have text setted to value ('ExtendedTextInput' in this case).

Decode function not called for a custom component

I know this problem happened in the past - in the EA2, EA4 and I believe the beta version as well, but does anyone know if it has been solved for the release ?
In short - I'm working with the release, created a menuBar component and the decode method in the renderer is not called after I submit the page. In the past, there were rumors that this happened due to relative paths in the JSP (for js files, images, etc.).
Does anyone else have this problem ? or better , know how to solve it ?
Thanx,
Netta.

It's not that simple - The component is getting rendered, all the encode methods are called and the decode is called also , but only the first time the form is submitted.
I added this custom component to the guessNumber application, and I have a menuBar in the greeting.jsp that leads to the response.jsp and vice versa. it looks like this in the greeting.jsp page -

<t:MenuBar id="bar1" styleClass="myClass" >
<t:Menu id="menu1" name="menu1">
<t:Menu id="menu2" name="menu2">
<t:MenuItem id="item2_1" name="item2_1" action="/mytest/guess/response.jsp"/>
<t:MenuItem id="item2_2" name="item2_2" action="http://www.msn.com"/>
<t:Menu id="menu3" name="menu3">
<t:MenuItem id="item3_1" name="item3_1x" action="http://www.msn.com"/>
</t:Menu>
</t:Menu>
</t:Menu>
<t:MenuItem id="item3" name="item3" action="http://www.cnn.com"/>
</t:MenuBar>

In the response it looks like this -

<t:MenuBar id="bar2" styleClass="myClass" >
<t:MenuItem id="item3" name="item3" action="/mytest/guess/greeting.jsp"/>
</t:MenuBar>

and every time a menuItem is clicked on, the JS calls submit form.
Since the menus are rendered, I assume there's nothing wrong with the rendererType and any other renderer problem. Since the decode is called only once, I assume the right form is being submitted.
So, what can cause it to stop calling the decode ???
Could it be that becase I go directly to the page and not through the navigation rules ( I call window.open directly from the JS), it creates a problem ??
Please help, I've been wasting so much time on this !

Adding custom converter to custom component ?

Hi,
I have created a custom component in JSF 1.1 that extends HtmlInputText.
The component works as it should. My Problem is that when I apply one of my own custom converts to it, the converter is never invoked ?
<ps:custInputText id="text1" validator="#{pc_Start.validateText1}">
<f:attribute name="fieldReference" value="ref_text1" />
<f:converter converterId="ps.trimAllSpaces" />
</ps:custInputText>Does anyone know that's wrong ? Maybe it is not possible to to apply custom converters to custom components ?
Thanks in advance.

Try by adding value attribute to ur custom tag, it might work.

Best practices for adding components in a composite custom component

Hello,
I am developing a custom, composite JSF component need to dynamically add child components in my renderer class. I've noticed that people add components to a custom component in many different ways. I'd like to follow JSF best practices when developing this component - of the following approaches, which would you recommend? Or is there yet another approach I should be using?
1) in the encodeBegin method of my renderer class, create a new component, add it to the component tree, and let the page life cycle take care of the rendering:
HtmlDataList dimensionStateGroupDataList = (HtmlDataList) app.createComponent( HtmlDataList.COMPONENT_TYPE );
//set properties on dimensionStateGroupDataList
component.getChildren().add(dimensionStateGroupDataList);
2) in either the encodeBegin or encodeEnd method, create a component and encode it:
HtmlDataList dimensionStateGroupDataList = (HtmlDataList) app.createComponent( HtmlDataList.COMPONENT_TYPE );
//set properties on dimensionStateGroupDataList
dimensionStateGroupDataList.encodeBegin();
dimensionStateGroupDataList.encodeEnd();
Both of these methods are functional, and I prefer the first (why encode children if you don't have to?), but I am interested in other people's take on how this should be done.
Thanks for your help.
-Christopher

My bad, sorry, wasnt concentrating, Im afraid I have no experience with portlets, but I would have thought that you can mimic the outputLinkEx in you renderer by encoding your own links?
If you were to bind a backing bean variable to an outputLinkEx what would it be? Not understanding portlets, or knowing what an outputLinkEx is may be hindering me, but you should be able to create an instance of it in code like (this example uses HtmlOutputLink, you would need to know which component to use):
HtmlOutputLink hol = new HtmlOutputLink();
hol.set....Then set any attributes on it, and explicitly call its encodeStart, encodeEnd functions. Is that way off the mark.

Adding Parameters (Inspectable) to a Custom Component?

Hi --
I am attempting to build a custom component just to learn a
little more
about AS 3.0. I can not figure out where / how in my package
declarations I
can "expose" parameters that will be visible to the user in
the Flash IDE
when using my component.
Thanks

Best strategy for variable aggregate custom component in dataTable

Hey group, I've got a question.
I'd like to write a custom component to display a series of editable Things in a datatable, but the structure of each Thing will vary depending on what type of Thing it is. So, some Things will display radio button groups (with each radio button selecting a small set of additional input elements, so we have a vertical array radio buttons and beside each radio button, a small number of additional input elements), some will display text-entry fields, and so on.
I'm wondering what the best strategy for tackling this sort of thing is. I'm sort of thinking I'll need to do something like dynamically add to the component tree in my custom component's encodeBegin(), and purge the extra (sub-) components in encodeEnd().
Decoding will be a bit of a challenge, maybe.
Or do I simply instantiate (via constructor calls, not createComponent()) the components I want and explicitly call their encode*() and decode() methods, without adding them to the view tree?
To add to the fun of all this, I'm only just learning Faces (having gone through the Dudney book, Mastering JSF, and writing some simpler custom components) and I don't have experience with anything other than plain vanilla JSP. (No EJB, no Struts, no Tapestry, no spiffy VisualDevStudioWysiwyg++ [bah humbug, I'm an emacs user]). I'm using JSP 2.0, JSF 1.1_01, JBoss 4.0.1 and JDK 1.4.2. No, I won't upgrade to 1.5 (yet).
Any hints, pointers to good sample code? I've looked at some of the sample code that came with the RI and I've tried to navigate the JSF Blueprints stuff, but I haven't really found anything on aggregating components into a custom component. Did I miss something obvious?
If this isn't a good question, please let me know how I can sharpen it up a bit.
Thanks.
John.

Hi,
We're doing something very similar. I had a look at the Tomahawk Date component, and it seems to dynamically created InputText components in the encodeEnd(). However, it doesn't decode this directly (it only expects a single textual value). I expect you may have to check the request yourself in decode().
Other ideas would be appreciated, though - I'm still new to JSF.

Custom component property value handling at run time

I would like to develop simple custom component which has three properties PROP1, PROP2 & RESULT . These parameters are bound to excel sheet cells as follows..
cell A1 connected to PROP1
cell A2 connected to PROP2 and
cell A3 connected to RESULT.
In excel A1 cell has excel formula set as =IF(A2<5,10,0).
Custom component would be simple button display at runtime and on click of the same, I would like to perform following actions in sequence with N number of times.
1. First push any random number to PROP2. (which is simple task, I believe)
2. Pick new value of PROP1 which is changed due to existance of excel formula (+ using dispatchevent I could able to pass value to excel cell A2. But not able to read new value of PROP1+)
3. check new PROP1 value equal to 10. If it is 10 then count it otherwise again push new random value to PROP2.
4. Continue step 1 to 3 till N number of times. and finally
4. Push number of counts for PROP1 value 10 to RESULT parameter.
All the parameters are bindable (getter/setter with [Bindable]) in Flex component application and flex propertysheet application use binding ID to bind with cell address. with binding direction BOTH and SINGLETON
Here is flex function code which triggered at button click.
public function test002():void {
while ( N < 100)
this.PROP2 = Math.round(Math.random()*1000);
dispatchEvent(new PropertyChangeEvent(PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE, false, false, PropertyChangeEventKind.UPDATE, "PROP2", null, PROP2, this));
     if (this.PROP1 == 10)
      cnt++;
   this.RESULT = cnt;
My observations are as follows.
- new push of value to PROP2 get reflected to excel A2 when button click event is over, not at the time of while loop process execution.
- Also I observed PROP1 value never changes and it is the value which is recorded just before button click event of component at run time and remain the same till button click event is over.
- Further to this I notice as click event is over, new value of PROP2 reflected in cell A2 and change value (if it passes IF formula of excel ) in A1 as well. Next button click action takes these new A1 and A2 values in consideration and process the function "test002".
I would like to understand possibility of custom component event execution process, which can able to pass as well as read value from component parameters to underlying excel with changes due to excel formula existance. If it is not limitations (If so) what is the set of commands which can be helpful to achieve this. I appreciate if anybody explain typical event execution required in such scenarios with some actionscript code directions.
Thanks

Marton,
I have tried your solution. It works well immediately after xcelsius dashboard get displayed or preview. It does not wait click event to happen. So I modified further by adding one switch ( "switch001" in code piece shown below) to control iteration by click event. That stops running of iteration immediate after dashboard display.
In order to see iteration I have to click twice on button. First click does send "frm" parameter value to excel and excel formula operates. The excel formula result send back to component via SETTER of "frmResult" . But it stops over there. If I click second time the iteration starts for 100 times.
Also I try to export this to PDF. PDF file get generated. If I try to open PDF file it raise error.
My code is attached here.
"frm" is the parameter that sends random number to excel.
"frmResult" parameter receives excel formula output and send it back to component.
"test()" function operate on button click event and set switch001 and then calls "Calc" function for iterations.
MXML code..........
<mx:VBox>
       <mx:TextInput id="frmResultLabel" width="100" />
       <mx:Button label="test..." click="test()"/>
</mx:VBox>
Actionscript code
public var cnt:int;
          public var N:int = 0;
          public var sum:int = 0;
          public var switch001:Boolean = false;
         public function test():void {
               N = 0;
               sum = 0;
               switch001 = true;
          public function Calc():void {
          if (switch001 == true)
            if (N < 100)
                this.frm = Math.round(Math.random() * 1000);
            else if (N == 100) // return the result
                 this.frmResult = sum;
                 // Label component use to display frm and frmResult values at runtime
                 frmResultLabel.text = sum.toString() + ">" + this.frm + ">" + this.frmResult;
             N++;
          [Bindable]
          private var _frm:int;
          private var _frmChanged:Boolean = true;
          [Bindable]
          public function get frm():int
               return _frm;
          public function set frm(value:int):void
               //if (value == null) value = 0;
               if (_frm != value)
                    _frm = value;
                    _frmChanged = true;
                    invalidateProperties();
          override protected function commitProperties():void
             super.commitProperties();
             if (_frmResultChanged == true)
                    // start the cycle again by generating a new random number,
                    // or write out the result
                    Calc();

Custom Component using Rights Management

Hello!
I'm trying to build a custom component that interact with LiveCycle Rights Management.
In my implementation I need to use the:
import com.adobe.livecycle.rightsmanagement.client.RightsManagementClient;
in order to call a policyManager object.
But when I try to invoke the process in the workbench I get the following error:
05/10 18:33:13:732 BRT] 00000065 WorkflowDSCIn E com.adobe.idp.workflow.dsc.invoker.WorkflowDSCInvoker logFailedFaultRouting An exception was thrown with name java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError message:com.adobe.livecycle.rightsmanagement.client.RightsManagementClient while invoking service CustomUpdatePolicyService and operation atualiza and no fault routes were found to be configured.
Am I doing right?
The main objective is to receive a policy ID (String) and Users ID (LIST) and change the policy adding the users into it.
I appreciate any help.
Diego

The thing is: when developing a custom component that connects to a LC service, must be defined a different connection property, described here:

After deploying Custom Component BO Analysis Adaptive Server would not Start

Hello all,
I just developed my custom component in Design Studio with SDK and uploaded this component to BI Enterprise 4.1 SP2 Patch 3 server . After that, I tried to restart the Adaptive Processing Server which includes Analysis Service. However, the server would not start and it fails. If I uninstall the component and restart the server, it starts and works smoothly.
I have installed the same components to other BI servers without having any problems.
Do you guys have any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks in advanced.

Zahid,
Check if this line is added to the command line of the server holding the DS Server.
-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl
I had a similar problem, openned a support ticket and that solved it.
Best
