ADF application input fields barcode

Hi ,
I would like to understand that, if an application developed in ADF, does ADF input fields support the values read by barcode scanner. For example on a form if there are 2 fields which are needed to be input by barcode scanner, can we have these 2 fields to support reading of the data from barcode scanner?
In oracle form based application, this is very much achievable.
Appreciate your response on this.
Thanks,
Sai

Hi,
there is no functionality in ADF for this. However, if your barcode scanner has a plugin for the browser to write to an HTML field then I don't see why it should not work. Have you checked the capabilities and configuration options of your barcode scanner? What does it say?

Auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF

Hello all,
I am not able to auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF.
I tried AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(val); in the back end using setter method of input text field.
its not working ..
is there any way to achieve it

Shakir

Hi,
Always mention your JDev version.
The valueChangeListener would fire only when you set the autoSubmit property of the field to true. Can you elaborate your requirement? What do you mean by related data? Are you performing some sort of search?
If you want to get the value you entered on the field, just set autoSubmit to true and get the new value from the valueChangeListener. If your requirement is something like as and when you type, do something, you need to check out this approach :https://blogs.oracle.com/groundside/entry/auto_reduce_search_sample

Problem DB Trigger and ADF Application for update a field.

I again,
I have a Data Base table as following :
--Solicitudes*
id number not null,
extern_code integer,
delivery_date timestamp( 6 ),
... and more fields
And a Trigger as following :
create or replace trigger update_delivery_date
before update of on Solicitudes
for each row
begin
if ( :new.extern_code = 9 ) then -- I need update the "delivery_date" to the current date and timestamp
select systimestamp into :new.delivery_date from dual;
end if;
end;
The trigger works fine in the DB, but when I update the 'Solicitudes' data base table through the ADF Application, the 'delivery_date' field is updated to different current systimestamp , for example suppose right now is : 19-JUN-*2012** 10.45.30.773000000 PM -04:00 , it field should be update to this date, but it is not update to that date, it is update to : 10-DEC-*1989* 10.45.30.773000000 PM -04:00.
Why is this ?
I put in the SQL Developer's query editor : select systimestamp from dual; and it show me the correct date and time.
That problem occurs only when I update the table through my ADF Application.

Marco,
I don't see any issue with ADF in this. Just tried with a dummy table created with similar structure and tried updating it (have a similar trigger as well). It updated with proper timestamp (tried from SQL Developer, AppModule Tester and in jspx page - all same result).
Can you check the system date on the machine where your DB is hosted. I guess you are using different database for testing the query and the app is using a different db.
If not, try creating a simple testcase (as I mentioned in the first line) and see if you are able to reproduce the issue.

P.S : I tried this in 11.2.0.1 DB & JDev 11.1.2.0.0

Default Value in Numeric Input Field in Visual Composer Application

Hi All,
I have developed a visual composer application which has a numeric input field for Hours.
It is mapped to a backend module.
We are using portal 7.31
The problem is that the deafult value of this input field is "0", but the rquirement is to display as "0.0"
The functionality has been tested with input values in decimals and works fine. The problem is when the screen first populates, that field should show "0.0" .
Please advise.
Thanks

Hi Soumya Chanda,
I don't know of an agreeable way around it. You could have a textual input, but then it doesn't have the numeric control behavior, plus you need to handle incorrect typing (alphanumeric notes).
Sorry!

Input Field disabled in Web Dynpro Application

Hi,
I created an application with three input fields and created the corresponding context. When I start the wd app the input fields are disabled and can not be edited. The property enabled if this fields is true!
I compared the context with other wd app in my nwds and the only thing I recognize is that in other apps, at every attribute is a litte triangle. This attribute also have one property more - it is called "Input Element".
So my questions are:
1. What might be the reason why I can not edit the fields?
2. How can I configure my attributes to get this triangle?
I appreciate any comment!
Regards

Wow, that was more than fast :-D
But you are absolutely right, THANKS!!! The input fields are enabled now.
Do you might also know how I can get this triangle? I have this problem also in an other topic ([How-to Integrate Visual Composer UIs within a CE7.11 BPM Process|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2011e628-b317-2c10-9fa7-952155e10705]).

Some fields in ADF application are responding during playback

Hi All,
I'm facing some issues when playbacks the script which was recorded ADF application. Mainly 3 fields are showing this abnormal behavior. For combo-box `adf.table(..., .....).rowSelect(3);` is used to select value, but it's not working during playback. For date field the date picker I used is not working during playback. One Text field is also showing some issue. Value of text field is not get set during playback and it leaves it blank and passes the run. There are also other fields, including many Text fields, but all of them are working except the 3 above mentioned..
Please help me, if any one knows solution for this. Even if you don't know solution please share your ideas.

Deepu

You give us no clue about what you used to record/playback scripts

ADF JSF Shuttle Component - Additional input fields

Hello,
We're in the process of integrating the nice shuttle JSF component into our application. Our app though requires that before the assignment is done (by moving an item left ->right in the shuttle UI) a dialog window must be opened to allow the user to fill in additional input fields (i.e the targe N-M association table that is populated by the shuttle component, needs those additional fields filled for each new record).
Is there a way to do that with the current shuttle component?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Jordi

ckx,
The components don't require a model reference (i.e. assocaition with a JavaBean). You can access all of the components on the posting page on the server, so you could definitely get all of the values that way. You can build up the tree dynamically as well.
So the short answer is yes :-).

SmartSync Application:Passing Input Field parameters& Fetching Data.

Hello SDNers
I have created a sample Smart Sync Application from Custom Syncbo (Search Functionality).
Also Created a Custom Jsp with One button for "GetList" and 3 Input Fields namely Name(mandatory), Email, Address and 1 Table.
Overall fuctionality (also of sysncbo ) such that after filling the fields, wenever person will press Getlist, these three parameters shud get passed to backend and then fetch data to fill the table..
" I dont have ne clue regarding how to pass parameters and fetch details.."
Can anyone give me a code for the same or tell me how to access DB parameters mentioned in Bapiwrapper/syncbo.
Kindly Help..
Thanks n Regards....

Hi Chetan,
First I have some queries on your post.
When you say Smart Sync Application, you created it from NWDS using MDK plugin right..?
when you say access table etc u mean tables related to Sync BOs in Mobile deivice database Db2e right.?
When you say on click of getlist button it should pass parameters to backend in the sense MO bile device backend i.e., db2e not MI or R/3.
but any how, when you create a Smart Sync Application in NWDS using MDK plugin for meRepMeta.xml MDK plug in will generate all the APIs interfacing to your data on device.
using these APIs you can set,get data from the local database but it all depends on the properties of the fields in SyncBO.

Sai.

How to set Date in input field by hard coding in application

Hi all,
1.I have to make a date(its my choice to set the date) to appear in input field which is date type.
2.How to compare two numbers of type decimal. for example greatest of two numbers
urgent requirement

Hi
Check the http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/sql/Date.html
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Calendar.html
Sample Code
Date now = new Date();
      DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance();
      String s = df.format(now);
      System.out.println("Today is " + s);
java.sql.Date descends from java.util.Date, but uses only the year, month and day values. There are two methods to create a Date object. The first uses a Calendar object, setting the year, month and day portions to the desired values. The hour, minute, second and millisecond values must be set to zero. At that point, Calendar.getTime().getTime() is invoked to get the java.util.Date milliseconds. That value is then passed to a java.sql.Date constructor:
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    // set Date portion to January 1, 1970
    cal.set( cal.YEAR, 1970 );
    cal.set( cal.MONTH, cal.JANUARY );
    cal.set( cal.DATE, 1 );
    cal.set( cal.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0 );
    cal.set( cal.MINUTE, 0 );
    cal.set( cal.SECOND, 0 );
    cal.set( cal.MILLISECOND, 0 );
    java.sql.Date jsqlD =
       new java.sql.Date( cal.getTime().getTime() );
The second method is java.sql.Date's valueOf method. valueOf() accepts a String, which must be the date in JDBC time escape format - "yyyy-mm-dd". For example,
    java.sql.Date jsqlD = java.sql.Date.valueOf( "2010-01-31" );
creates a Date object representing January 31, 2010. To use this method with a Calendar object, use:
    java.sql.Date jsqlD = java.sql.Date.valueOf(
            cal.get(cal.YEAR) + ":" +
            cal.get(cal.MONTH) + ":" +
            cal.get(cal.DATE) );
which produces a Date object with the same value as the first example.

ADF: Mandatory symbol for ReadOnly input fields

Hi All,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2 version. I am creating sample login window. In that there is Input Text filed called "old Password" which should be readOnly always [It will display oldPassword value]. When I ran my page in OldPassword field, mandatory symbol is not displaying. Eventhough I gave required="true" and showRequired="true" in jsff file, I am getting same output. The input Text is not ViewObject based. I am just binding ManagedBean variable value to that Input field to display oldPassword value.
Can u please help me out?
Regards,
Praveen.

This is the normal behavior, as a workaround you can surround the input text with af:panelLabelAndMessage and set its showRequired property to true.
<af:panelLabelAndMessage id="plam1" showRequired="true">
<af:inputText label="old Password" id="it1" readOnly="true" value="value"/>
</af:panelLabelAndMessage>

Ability to populate an input field by scanning a bar code or manually

Hi All,
We are developing a NW Mobile 7.1 OCA application. The user requires ability to enter values in input fields either by scanning a barcode or enter manually. We are on SP08 ... Right now we are able to scan and populate values or enter them manually(any of the two but not both)... Any ideas on how we can achieve these are higly appreciated.
Thanks

why try to use the label when the field has a clearly defined name:
web:input_text[@name='my/id

Building Oracle ADF Applications Workshop

I have finished going through the "Building Oracle ADF Applications: Workshop"
from the following link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe9051jdev/ide1012/adfworkshop/buildingadfapplicationsworkshop.htm
Hopefully that is sufficient for the doc writer to locate the context of my
comments. If not, let me know and I'll provide additional information.
I grouped all of these together as one big comment. If you want it in a
different format, again, let me know.
Prior starting the workshop I printed out the entire document which resulted in
51 pages of output. In each comment, except for the first general comment, I
list the section name, step number and my page number which should be enough to
uniquely identify the area that the comment relates to. My suggestions start
out with "It would be nice...". I numbered the comments so I could have
comments refer to each other.
(1) One of the things I really liked was the "If you want to see a
demonstration of these steps, click here" links. Sometimes the discussion
was not precise so being able to see the actual usage worked well. It would
be nice if there were more of these in the workshop.
(2) "Building the Basic Page Flow", step 2, page 13.
I had some trouble with this because it wasn't clear how one changes the
DataPage's name. I used the property sheet and did it wrong, resulting in
an error. I had to consult the "If you what to see..." link to determine
how to do this correctly.
It would be nice if there were a paragraph before "When you are done"
saying something like:
To change the name of a DataPage just click on the icon's label and
enter the new value, starting with the leading slash.
(3) "Connecting the Pages", step 9, page 21.
This step has one switch to the Source editor view to make a change. This
change can also be made in the Design view.
It would be nice to stay in the Design view. The suggested wording for this
is:
In the Design view you can change the Edit button link by clicking on
the Edit button and pressing the left arrow (<--) key once on the
keyboard. The Property Inspector will be in an <A> element. Edit the
href property by appending the following:
&event=Edit
(4) "Connecting the Pages", step 10, page 22.
The first time I had trouble drawing the links. A bit more discussion on
how to draw the links with corners would be nice. One of the troubles was
that I would edit one link and another (or all of them) would suddenly
change to simple vertical links (no corners). The link lines were
separated, but the link names were displayed making it more difficult than
necessary to tell which link line went with which link name.
(5) "Adding a Create Function", step 4, page 24.
I have the same comment on this step as I did in comment (3).
(6) "Creating Session Variables with onEvent() methods", step 2, page 27.
The last paragraph describes how JDeveloper will prompt you to enter an
import statement. The comment I wrote on that page was:
Cool!
It's nice that JDeveloper handles this booking task.
(7) "Building a Message Stack with a findForward() method", step 1, page 28.
In the second paragraph it's not clear what the context is. It would be
nice if the second paragraph would start out with:
In struts-config.xml, right-click ...
(8) "Building a Message Stack with a findForward() method", step 6, page 30.
This code fragment at the end of this step has all lines starting in column
1. It would be nice if this was indented so it could be followed with less
effort. The same is true for the other code fragments in this section.
(9) "Building a Message Stack with a findForward() method", step 12, page 32.
I wrote a simple Java program that compared a String variable to a string
literal. In all cases using == to compare returned false, while .equals()
worked correctly. I was using Java 1.4.2_06_b03. Even if Java 1.5 supports
converting the == between strings to equals(), it would be nice if the
comparisons to the "type" variable used the .equals() method instead of ==,
so that those of us still using Java 1.4 would have properly working code.
Note that == in 1.4 compares the hash values while equals() looks at the
contents.
(10) "Enabling the Delete Confirmation Page", step 5, page 36.
The last sentence of the first paragraph contains the phrase:
if there are errors, build the ActionMessage object.
It would be nice if this contained an extra word as in:
if there are no errors, build the ActionMessage object.
(11) "Enabling the Delete Confirmation Page", step 6, page 36.
Line 12 (or 13 if you count blank lines) is storing a value in the request
object. It would be nice to have a discussion in this step instead of
having to wait until section "Intercepting the Middle-Tier Message", step
8, page 42 before we know what this is all about.
(12) "Overriding the findForward() Method", step 1, page 44.
It appears that the call to the super.findForward method is missing. It
would be nice if the following were inserted before the closing curly
brace:
super.findForward(actionContext);
(13) "Overriding the findForward() Method", step 9, page 46.
Near the end of this step it mentions the imports that are added. It
appears that there is a missing import statement. If this is correct, it
would be nice to also include the following import:
import oracle.adf.controller.struts.actions.DataActionContext;
(14) "Overriding the findForward() Method", step 10, page 46.
My diagram doesn't look like this. The "Edit" link between /browseCustomers
and /editCustomers should be "Commit". The "Cancel" link from
/editCustomers back to itself shouldn't be there. The "Commit" link from
/sure to /browseCustomers should be "Cancel". Compare this with the diagram
in section "Creating a Delete Confirmation Page and a Forward", step 5,
page 25.
(15) "Internationalizing Field Labels", step 3, page 48.
This is another case where the context is not clear. It would be nice if
the following was added to the first paragraph:
In the browseCustomers page,
(16) "Internationalizing Field Labels", step 10+, page 49.
Everything is internationalized except for the buttons. How does one
internationalize them?
(17) "Conditionally Displaying a Field", step 1, page 49.
The last sentence says "The result should look like the following:". If one
were following this workshop from front to back then what should be shown
is the internationalized version of this page.
(18) "Conditionally Displaying a Field", step 5, page 50. Bug?
When I look at the Source view of editCustomers.jsp the <INPUT> element has
a property setting of disabled="true". When I run the application and look
at the HTML source used by the browser, that same <INPUT> element has a
property setting of disabled="disabled". It works, but isn't that somewhat
redundant? I recommend that the source code should have the disabled
property setting as it appears in the Source view.

Automatic Event Fire on every entry in Input Field

Dear All,
Here i have a scenerio, I am using barcode reader application. After reading the barcode from barcode machine, , numeric value eg '1234567890' is automatically displaying in my input field. After that I have to call my RFC according to every entry in that field.
Mean to say as the value comes to the input field , automatically my next view should be called where i am displaying the detail of particular employee having I card of that barcode.
So is there any possibility in Webdynpro Java to fire an event automatically on every entry?
Kindly help me out.
Thanks & Regards
Nivedita

Dear Monalisa,
Thanks for your quick response (SDN was down so i could not reply back). But as i explained earlier, my application is not for mobile barcode reader. Its for normal Id card Barcodes. Mobile Barcode Reader requires 2 types of barcode reader equipments and link given by you is explaining that proccess only.
Here I am able to read the data from barcode Reader. But after reading data i need to generate any automatic event. I dont want to use any submit button or Enter key action. I want that as the value comes to my input field ,automatically it should go to database. webynpro does not support Javascript as per my knowledge.
Kindly suggest something.
Thanks & Regards
Nivedita
