ADF Documentation

Hi All,
What are you currently using as a good resource for ADF development. I have found some good blogs and I am also using some online Safari books. I can't seem to find the Oracle Tahiti 11g ADF Development guide....
I am using 11g
Any other thoughts on good resources?

Take a look into the developer guides:
Fusion Developer's Guide: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/web.1111/b31974/toc.htm
Web user Developer's Guide: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/web.1111/b31973/toc.htm
Thanks,

JDev and ADF is difficult

As a new user to ADF I am finding ADF and JDev a little discouraging and hard to use. I did a search on how to improve jdev's performance and found a lot of useful tips and tricks to use, but I pose the question. Shouldn't it just work out of the box? Coming from a web 2.0 background developing EE applications using Spring, JPA/Hibernate, Extjs, and netbeans I keep thinking to myself wow how in the world should I have known that changing this or that table attribute causes this or that to behave differently. For example I read a thread on multi-selecting table rows and in this article multiselect selectedRowKeys must be removed for multi select to perform correctly. Now I realize this is a simple example, but I find myself asking the same types of questions about dragging and dropping views into jdev or mapping bindings to pages so that I can gain access to data. I can relate to some angry posts by some about how difficult it is to develop anything useful in JDev and ADF because of a series of random problems (things like running OOM, or mapping bindings to a page which then for some reason map incorrectly or they think they are mapped to another page, etc...) Now I can already hear the first response... you are new to this world (yes) and you just need time. What if I told you I've been reading so much documentation over the past month that my eyes are bleeding. I've been through countless tutorials on how to use JDev and ADF. I've successfully created "Sample applications" generating useless tables of data. I've read several books on ADF and how to button click my way to creating EE applications, but I find the memorization of button clicking to be exhausting. I keep telling my boss I want to go back to writing code not dragging and dropping items on a page so that JDev can generate/modify .xml files for me.
Now that said I know I am new to this world and I'm trying to find some common ground as my job requires me to develop EE applications in ADF, and I must learn this technology. So I ask all of you ADF and JDev advocates prove me wrong here and point me to the documentation that all of you use to navigate this world of yours.
Thanks for your understand,
Wraith (Newbie and found wanting)

First off thank you for the response Shay!
>
Getting used to the way you build applications with JDev and ADF takes time, but think how much time did it took you to learn Spring, JPA, ExtJS etc to a level where you knew every little setting you needed to manually code in a spring XML file, or JPQL query syntax in your JPA or a javascript in ExtJS - My guess was that getting to a situation where you know everything in those technology wasn't exactly a problem less experience.
>
It is true it took some time to learn the technologies listed above. I guess If I were arguing for them I would say they were easier to use and learn due to most of them being open source and very popular because of this (i.e tons of examples, books, and documentation). Not sure if ADF is there yet?
>
I do like the fact that I can get from 0 to a fully functional page with a few clicks here and there, and then fine tune the results with some property settings in various places.
And then if I need even further customization I can go to the code level when needed.
>
I agree it takes very little time to create something that is at least visually usable. I'm not familiar enough ADF yet to determine now hard it is to actually create a fully functioning application that does more than display data. For example, how would I create a visualization that updates every 10 seconds and allows users to post feedback in a similar manner to this forum?
>
The question of whether the declarative and visual development experience is a good thing or not is to some degree a matter of personal preferences.
I wonder how long would it have taken someone to build something like this: http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/ADF112/ADF112.html
with the stack you mentioned above. How many lines of code would they have needed to write, how many syntax errors while coding, and would the result be as functional so fast.
>
Agree I'm not hear to argue which type of development experience is better or worse. I would point out however that as a JDev/ADF developer in order to develop in the technology it seems you must do most of your development within the JDev environment or have extensive experience in JSF (i.e know which xml files to edit and why I believe there is a reason JSF and JSP are seldom used IMHO because they are difficult. I understand JDev/ADF try to solve this problem) were as in other technologies you as the developer can choose the IDE etc. Another thing I noticed while watching the link you listed was the developer went from place to place to place within jdev making changes. As a newbie it seems that in order to develop ADF in JDev you must just "know things" (ie. for example he pulled in a method in to the task flow so he could invoke some validation or prereq check. As a developer how am I to know how and where and why I can/must do these things? ADF seems to be process based in order to achieve some goal, but the JDev framework gives no clues as to what you should/need to do next. As well as that I needed to create that method within my Application Module in order to do this, which by the way was not mentioned within this video.).
>
We often see the reaction of "I don't get what all those XML files that JDev generate are doing" reaction from people who just start up with JDev and ADF.
But we do try and explain how everything is working in places like the ADF Insider Advanced seminars:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/adfinsider-093342.html
I think the fact that there is a lot of documentation for ADF, and a lot of blog entries, how-to's etc on the web is actually a good thing.
I often find that if I run into an issue with ADF - a simple google search will show me how someone else solved that issue - and I like this too.
>
I guess my biggest gripe here would be yes there is tons of JDev/ADF documentation on OTN and other places, but none of it is complete, and I would also argue that the organization on OTN is half hazard, and makes learning ADF difficult as well. I find myself drilling down through layers and layers of links only to not be able to get back to were I came from to look at another topic/tutorial I was interested in(maybe we need a ADF train to be added to the documentation wikis).
I would also argue when developing in other frameworks writing the xml is a big part to understanding how your application is tied together. For example, Spring servlet mapping or Spring injection mapping. When JDev does the mapping for me I feel that I know less and less about how my application works and I bet all the advanced ADF developers out there know quite a bit about how ADF xml mapping occurs and why, and I bet they make changes to these xml files manually quite often to get things to work as they desire?
I want to be clear here I am not trying to flaming here, just trying to make a difference for other developers like myself who come along and need to learn ADF to complete some task. Looking at the OTN site I believe creating documentation for ADF development appears to be a top priority, but due to the complexity of the framework there is just so much and it seems to be everywhere. My suggestion would be to include why we are doing such and such with in jdev approach instead of a drag this here to do this approach. For example, I'd like to see a tutorial where it explains when you drag this item in to the content window it creates this xml bind which is the same as what you would normally do in JSF like this (if anyone knows of such a tutorial plz link).
Again thanks for the reply, and I encourage others to give feedback and suggestions on how I too can become a better JDev/ADF developer.

How to implement Quick Query and Saved Searches in ADF?

We are using 11gR2 ADF.
The requirement is to enable Quick Search and save the Searches.
In the Oracle ADF documentation, it is mentioned that
- Create a view with view criteria named.
- In the .jspx drag and drop the view criteria and Select Quick Query
Upon doing the above, we see that a Search panel is getting created, but with a message 'No Search Fields Added'.
In the named view criteria, Under 'UI Hints' we have set
-- execution mode as Both
-- Search region mode is Basic
-- Show Operators in Basic
Under 'Criteria Definition'
the attributes are added in a group with OR condition.
Thanks for your reply. Oracle ADF developer guide does not help!!
If you have any other documentation that helps in implementing this Quick Query and Saved Search, your help is greatly appreciated.

Set the following on your af:query component
SaveQueryMode = hidden
ModeChangeVisible = false
This should work for you ..
Regards,

Help with implementing a login page - ADF Faces & 10.1.3

I am having trouble getting a basic login page working and am hoping someone can help. I'd like to have a login page with username and password fields and a submit button. When submitted, I would like to authenticate the user and either send them to a second page if I find the username & password, or return them to the login page and display a global JSF message if I can't find the username/password info. Pretty standard stuff.
I've got an app module that contains a read-only view object, which has a custom method (in MyViewImpl.java) that checks the username & password against a database table and returns a boolean. I don't have an entity object since it's a read-only view.
I've tried 2 different approaches:
1) Binding the username and pw inputText fields to the parameters of my custom method, and binding the submit button to the custom method, all done by drag and drop from my data controls.
The problem with this approach is that I cannot figure out how to set the global message if the username/password combo is invalid. Once my method is invoked, it returns an "action" String and page navigation occurs (In this case, I have my custom method return a String instead of a boolean). If login fails, at what point do I set the global message?
2) Using a backing bean for my login page and binding the fields and the button to the bean, and setting the button's action to a method in the bean, which then calls my custom method. Finally, either set the message or navigate based on the boolean returned from my method.
This seems the better approach, since it keeps the navigation and error message in the ViewController. The problem here is that I can't figure out how to call my custom method from my backing bean. I've seen a few examples, including one using a managed property and calling the action binding's invoke() method, but haven't had any luck (see #51 on this page: http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2004/09/23/notYetDocumentedAdfSampleApplications.html). The invoke() method does not return a value, so I cannot get the boolean value I need.
So, I'm apparently missing a piece (or two or three) of the puzzle here. Any guidance is most welcome! And I'm fine with changing any piece of this puzzle if there's a better way of accomplishing this.
Thanks,
Andy

Frank,
Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure if container managed authentication is a good fit or not for my current application, so I will have to look into the details of how it works. Thanks for the suggestion. Whether I use it or not, I will still need to authenticate against a database and not a flat file due to the fact that users may come and go and change passwords frequently, and my application will not be handling the management of that.
So, I would be still left with the task of accessing the ViewObject and navigating/displaying a message based on the results of that lookup. Fortunately, after slogging through my code and consulting the ADF documentation that is scattered throughout the Oracle website, I was able to get the login page working as I wanted (I found the "Accessing Bindings and Binding Containers from JSF Backing Beans" section of http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/muench/1013eabinding/index.html to be especially helpful). I used the submit button's action to call a method in the backing bean that sent the username and password to my application module's custom authentication method. When I got the boolean result, I either returned a "success" action or set a global JSF message and returned "null".
Needless to say, I am looking forward to the ADF/JSF version of the Toystore application, along with some sort of comprehensive framework documentation.
Thanks,
Andy

Deploying ADF/JDeveloper portlets in WebSphere Portal

I'd like to use ADF/JDeveloper to build my application, but my customer is already heavily invested on a WebSphere Portal deployment platform. The JDeveloper/ADF documentation has extensive information on creating portlets in various ways, but they all seem focused exclusively on deploying in an Oracle platform. I have tried both the "Standards-Based" as well as the "JSF Portlet Bridge". I have tried to deploy the portlets in WebSphere Portal using both the generated WAR file, as well as by registering the WSRP producer. None work.
With the WAR file, WebSphere Portal seems to import the WAR file just fine, and I can add a portlet to a page, but the portlet always shows as "unavaiable"
With the WSRP producer, I can get something to show in the page, but the functionality within the portlet doesn't seem to work.
I've searched extensively, but cannot locate any documentation or use cases for deploying portlets from JDeveloper into WebSphere Portal. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Dvohra21, again, I apreciate the effort, but I think you're missing the fundamental question.
You've given me two types of articles/links. Some are generic WebSphere Portal documentation about deploying a portlet from a WAR file. Others are Oracle articles about who to generate portlets in JDeveloper, with examples deploying in Oracle/WebLogic servers. Unfortunately I don't have a problem with either of those.
I CAN deploy a portlet WAR file in WebSphere Portal, and sucessfully add it to a Portal page. I have done that with multiple WAR files generated from Rational Application Developer.
I CAN produce a WAR file from JDeveloper, following the instructions in the same resources you included, plus a few others.
The problem is, the WAR file from JDeveloper, does not successfully run on WebSphere Portal. I create a simple Hello World portlet in JDeveloper, and I can generate a WAR file from it, and seemingly deploy to WebSphere Portal. However when I add it to a Portal page, it always displays only a blank box with the text "This portlet is unavailable". This is in the same exact portal page, where the portlet created with Rational Application Developer shows up just fine right along side it.
Bottomline is, although there is a great deal of information an demos about generating portlets from JDeveloper within an Oracle environment, I could not find a SINGLE ONE, that goes through an end to end scenario where it is deployed in WebSphere Portal. Nothing in this forum, nothing in Oracle docs, and nothing I can find on a Google search.

ADF Faces - af:tree - updating nodeStamp components

My tree's nodeStamp is an af:selectBooleanCheckbox which maps to a hierarchy of items of indeterminate depth. There are usually at least 3 levels however. If I toggle a parent checkbox then all the child checkboxes must also toggle to match. That is the whole point of the parents in this tree is to be able to turn on or off sets of children, grand-children etc. This should be a pretty standard thing to do with trees. However, I have a bit of a dilemma and I'm hoping that someone out there can help me.
When I toggle a parent checkbox the ThemeTree.valueChangeListener does a getModel().getRowData() to return the current row. I can then traverse the model tree from that instance to toggle all the children to match the state of the parent. From the model perspective everything works fine.
However, if the tree is expanded when the parent state is changed, the visual state of the children do not change! The parent Checkbox is unchecked but the child Checkboxes remain checked :(or visa versa):
Now to make things even more weird. If I close the parent tree and reopen it the children remain out of sync with the parent; even though the backing code model data is properly set.
Even weirder. If the parent Checkbox is not expanded and I change the state and then I open the parent all the child Checkboxes are CORRRECTLY set.
My jsp code looks as follows.
<af:panelGroup partialTriggers="theme_display">
<af:tree id="theme_tree" var="theme"
       binding="#{ThemeTree.tree}"
       value="#{ThemeTree.model}"
       partialTriggers="theme_display">
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:panelGroup layout="horizontal">
    <af:objectImage source="#{theme.graphic}"
                    rendered="#{theme.graphic != null}"
                    align="right"/>
    <af:objectSpacer width="3"
                     rendered="#{theme.graphic != null}"/>
    <af:selectBooleanCheckbox id="theme_tree_row"
                              value="#{theme.display}"
                              text="#{theme.displayName}"
                              shortDesc="#{theme.shortDesc}"
                              autoSubmit="true" immediate="true"
                              valueChangeListener="#{ThemeTree.valueChangeListener}"/>
</af:panelGroup>
</f:facet>
</af:tree>
....My ValueChangeListener looks like this.
    public void valueChangeListener(ValueChangeEvent vce) {
        if (tree != null) {
            setTreeChangeHappening(true);
            ThemeTreeBean currentTheme = (ThemeTreeBean)treeModel.getRowData();
            if (currentTheme.getChild() != null) {
                boolean display = ((Boolean)vce.getNewValue()).booleanValue();
                currentTheme.setDisplayAll(display);
            //TODO: is this doing what I think it is doing? I'm starting to think not.
            AdfFacesContext afc = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
            UIComponent checkBox = vce.getComponent();
            String id = checkBox.getId();
            int i = treeModel.getRowIndex();
            while (treeModel.isRowAvailable()) {
                ThemeTreeBean themeBean = (ThemeTreeBean)treeModel.getRowData();
                String x = themeBean.getName(); // used for debugging
                String y = themeBean.getDisplayName(); // used for debuggin
                afc.addPartialTarget(checkBox); // this might do something if we could get the instance of the UIComponent from the treeModel
                afc.partialUpdateNotify(checkBox);
                treeModel.setRowIndex(++i);
    }List of things that I've tried
(a) I know how to AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(vce.getComponent()) and ...partialUpdateNotify(same) but I haven't figured out how to get a handle on the UIComponent instances of the child Checkboxes. The components inside a nodeStamp facet seem to live an arms-length existance. I tried binding the selectBooleanCheckbox to a CoreSelectBooleanCheckbox property in my var class (theme) but this just doesn't work: ADF does not appear to allow it.
(b) I tried various combinations using partialTriggers (no luck there).
(c) The id cannot be a JSF expression (even though the JDeveloper tip claims it can; the ADF documentation says no) so I cannot get the id to find the UIComponent of the children. (Are there UIComponents of the children?)
(d) I tried traversing the treeModel using the setRowIndex(int) method but this only stepped me through the parent level, it did no return the children. Even if it did I'm not sure how I would force the visual update of the child.
The long and short of it is that the behaviour of components inside the nodeStamp is different and it makes for a real problem. I'm about to abandon the af:tree and see if there is anything in myfaces that might help. But before I give up altogether, I thought that I'd ask one more time to see if anyone out there could give me a hint for anything else to try.
Thanks in advance, Mark

More information: You cannot use the var attribute to bind the SelectBooleanCheckbox because it is not a managed bean and you can only bind to managed beans. So I created a CoreSelectBooleanCheckbox property in the ThemeTreeTree class (which is a managed bean) with the intent of matching references to the checkBox property as it rippled through the list.
BUT...it doesn't ripple through the list. There is only one instance of the CoreSelectBooleanCheckbox which appears to be shared by all the visible components.
So ... I'm still stumped.

Handling DB sequences for create and commit actions on ADF tables

Hello,
Most of the tables will have sequences used for primary keys and there will be columns like created_On and created_By columns. But my table does not require user inputs for these columns. So when commit button is clicked on the table how to handle these columns. The commit action should refer the sequence and enter SYSDATE and username for created_on and created_by columns.
what is the workaround for this ?
Thanks.

Use groovy expressions as default values for the EO fields - adf.currentDate and adf.context.securityContext.getUserName()
For the sequence see the ADF documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16162_01/web.1112/e16182/bcentities.htm#sm0147

ADF : Can we skip the default activity of ADF train in bounded task flow.?

Hi All,
I'm a newbie for ADF and JDev. Started learning from the documentation provided for ADF, I'm trying to create a bounded task flow which has a train component and every train stop should be enabled/skipped programmatically. I'm able to skip the train stops after reading the content provided at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/82-programmatically-navigate-trains-396873.pdf.
But I'm not able to skip the default train stop which is the first activity call in my case upon initialization.
Below are the steps I've followed :
1. Created a viewController project and created a bounded task flow in it with Train component enabled.
2. Added 4 views with train component marking the first view as default activity call.
3. As per the document I mentioned above, I added managed bean files to skip the train stop programmatically.
Now when i run the task flow, I'm able to skip the train stops number 2/3/4 but I'm not able to skip the stop number 1(first stop which is the default activity) on initialization.
As per ADF documentation, for a bounded task flow there must be a default activity assigned which will always be called first when we enter the bounded task flow. So that means, default activity will always be called upon initialization of that bounded task flow and never be skipped programmatically.? or else if there is a way to skip the default activity, then please let me know the documentation/steps to do this.
Thanks in advace.
Edited by: 1004973 on May 9, 2013 2:52 AM

Thanks Timo. Your idea resolved my issue. :)
I've created a new page in my bounded task flow which I've made as a default activity for that bounded task flow. Then I applied navigation through router and based on some condition I'm now able to move my control to my desired train stop. By this design I can do other customization on train button(Back/Next).

11g TP2 ADF Task Flows and Transaction Management

I'm wondering how ADF Task Flow Transaction Management works vis-a-vis database sessions and using stored procedure calls in an environment with connection pooling. I haven't written the code yet but am looking for a better understanding of how it works before I try.
Example:
I create a bounded adf task flow. I set the "transaction" property to "new-transaction" and the "data control scope" to "isolated".
As the task flow is running, the user clicks buttons that navigate from page to page in the flow. Each button click posts the page back to the app server. On the app server a backing bean method in each page calls a stored procedure in a database package to modify some values in one or more tables in the database. The procedure does not commit these changes.
Each time a backing bean makes a stored procedure call will it be in the same database session? Or will connection pooling possibly return a different database connection and therefore a different database session?
If the transaction management feature of the adf task flows guarantees me that I will always be in the same database session then I don't have to write any extra code to make this work. Will it do that or not?

I don't know if it is documented in the adf documentation currently available for 11g TP2 but what you ask for is a normal transaction management with connection pooling and i can't imagine it is not implemented in ADF BC layer like it is in JPA or other persistence layer.
A transaction will always be executed in the same session. Normally your web session will stay in the same session even you start more than one transaction. You don't have to write any code to manage the session pooling. It is a good practices to customize it at the persistence layer during installation depending on your infrastructure.
Take a look into Fusion Developer Guide ... i'm sure you will find some better explanations about this.

JDeveloper 10.1.3.4.0: Controlling HTML formatting of ADF Faces components

I have been investigating the ADF Faces components, and some of them write a fairly substantial block of HTML to the browser.
The inputText, for example, renders an HTML table containing, among other things, an input, required field indicator, and a span for error display.
This would appear to limit the amount of control a page designer would have over the precise layout of these sub-elements.
We are en E-Commerce shop, so the ability to control the exact layout of our pages is critical to our business.
Are the ADF Faces components going to allow us the fine-grained UI control we need?
It could be a coincidence, but it seems as if all the real-world application examples in the ADF documentation seem to be business-type applications,
where the UI is right out of the box with minimal tweaking.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Jonathan,
For a label above the text you can use this:
            <af:group>
              <af:outputLabel value="outputLabel1"/>
              <af:inputText/>
            </af:group>You can also achieve a lot of other customization with skins for ADF Faces components.
But more to the point - since the JSF components offer you more then just basic HTML component I guess there might be a limit to the customization you can do to them.
At the end your company will need to make the call on what is more valuable - the ability to stick exactly to a style or the ability to use components with rich functionality that save you coding.
Think for example how much coding on the client you'll need to do in standard JSP/HTML to achieve what the ADF Table component gives you out of the box (sorting, range paging, detail disclosure, banding, etc). Maybe it is worthwhile to be a little more flexible on the layout issues instead of ending up wasting a lot of time writing these code.
In any case even if you choose to go with plain JSP and Struts or with plain JSF and the plain JSF components - the ADF framework will still enable you to do drag and drop binding to your UI.
The benefit of the ADF Faces components is the built in functionality they provide with things like partial page rendering, Ajax functionality etc...

UserName for non ADF secured app

I am struggling to find the appropriate binding to access the logged in user for an 11G worklist application that is not secured by ADF so that I can pass it to a newly introduced service. I've tried several different values and most are unpopulated. ADF documentation leads me to believe the following should work but it is blank as well:
#{data.adfContext.enterpriseName}
I'm currently employing a workaround assessing the worklist systemAttributes.assignees but that doesn't seem to be dynamic through Claim/Release for group activity.
The data input for 'Logged in as' is what I'm really after.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
in ADF you use #{securityContext.userName}. If the user is not web authenticated, then this however will not return the username. You need to know how worklist is authenticating users and if this is nit with server authentication, where this information is stored in

Adf form

Have a VO which joins 2 different tables - totally has 4 attributes. (one of them is a transient attribute)
I need to create a page where one of this 4 attributes will be entered by the user and a Query button is clicked
the VO queried and data shown.
When user enters rest of the 3 fields, I need to call a Database stored procedure to read these 4 fields and create a record in a 3rd table.
What is the best way to go about it please. Being a newbie little detail will help.

Have a look at this demo to see how to use an AM service method that filters a view.

In the ADF documentation you can also find how to call a stored procedure from an AM method.
Then you expose that one as another service method and bind it to another button.

Dragging ADF FACES DVT Values

Hi,
Does ADF DVT bar graph support dragging its data?
Use Case:
I would show a user a bar chart displaying his current values for certain products.
User can choose to drag the value up and down to increase/decrease its current value.
Is this possible?
It is some sort of dynamically changing the bar chart value on the fly using the DVT UI..

Hi Shay, thanks for the info...
I tried to read at the documentation, I only see drag and drop functionality for the Scatter/Bubble/Gannt Chart from the Web User Interface Guide.
How about the bar chart and line chart? Does this support this also?
I mean, you can drag the value of the bar chart up and down and not dragging and dropping it on the other part of the graph which is done by the scatter or bubble graph.
Of course, I would add some logic to save this data in my managed bean.
