ADF Faces 11g Skins

Hi!
How should we create ADF Faces 11g Skins ?
does the mentioning the skin family used in trinidad-config.xml file reflect for the ADF Rich Faces as well?
What about the new RC Components ;They do not have any similar components in Trinidad,I suppose.
so where can we get the complete information of all CSS Classes that are to be used with new ADF Rich Faces Componenents?
Can you point me to source where I can get the information about all CSS Classes for RC Components , and how to change Skins in 11g for RC Components and Trinidad Components , for I use a mixture of Both,some times.
Thanking you in advance,
Samba

Sassira,
Here is an article to get you started:
http://jdj.sys-con.com/read/273945.htm
This link oulines all of the skinning key:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/adffaces/11/doc/skin-selectors.html
And here is a thread that outlines how to get started:
Could not get resource key af_componentX.XXX from skin
Hope that helps.

Jdev11g: How to use a Ord.image data type with ADF Faces 11g

Compare between component id in adf faces and component id in html.

Hi all,
[Oracle ADF Faces 11g]
When I design layout and set ID for ADF Component such as:
<af:inputText id="*itCalendar*" />
After I run and view HTML source, I saw:
<INPUT class=x25 id=*j_id_id7:itCalendar* name=*j_id_id7:itCalendar*/>
My question:
1. Why ID changed after I run ?
2. How to away: ID don't change ?
3. Why all atributes of Javascript attributes in adf faces 11 don't show? such as:
onchange
onclick
...etc.,
Can you help me, please?
thanks all.

User,
1). The ID changes because your af:inputText is inside another component that is a naming container. the *j_id_id7 is the (apparently auto-generated) ID used by the naming container.
2). Don't put your component inside of a naming container (tongue-in-cheek, as that's usually not very possible). The best thing is to put ID's on all of your components, then you can know what the final ID in the HTML will be

Page navigation and send parameters between different projects (ADF Faces)

Hi,
I am using ADF Faces 11g and have an application which has multiple web projects, I want to navigate between different projects' pages and send form values as parameters. How can i do that?
Thanks
Edited by: user12227999 on 16.Şub.2010 01:43

You'll need to use JavaScript to alter the action url on the form element to achieve that, but it's going to be complex and I'm not too positive on the resulting stability in a 11g environment that often need to send XHR to the server. What's your exact use case? It looks like a bad design to me. Normal external call would be using URL parameters, which is consistent to RESTful strategies. What you want to do is a POST to an external application from another which is quite horrible imho, how will you handle session management? Piping the response from the server could be another option.

ADF faces price

Hi,
I am new to ADF faces. I am reading something about adf are donated to apache.
I cannot figure out what is the price of ADF if I am using with Tomcat? (I have found that the license for adf is around $6000 per processor but I am not sure about this).
I have downloaded jdeveloper with adf and weblogic for free from oracle web site.
Is it legal to use them for commercial purposes?
If not, why you can download them for free. How oracle will know that my application is used for commercials?
Regards.

Hi,
- ADF Faces 10g was given to Apache as MyFaces Trinidad (http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad). therefore Trinidad is completely free whatever your environment is.
- ADF Faces 11g is a proprietary Oracle product that was supposed to be given to Apache as well as part of MyFaces RCF (http://incubator.apache.org/projects/rcf.html), but the Apache Software Foundation is about to close that possibility since Oracle is taking way too long. You'll have to check the incubator mailing list to get that info. Oracle has yet to react of publish a standing concerning that issue as far as I can tell. Currently anyway, it's still proprietary, but free to use IF and only if you're using WebLogic or Oracle AS 11g (the latter not yet available). So, if you want to use it on Tomcat, it's NOT free, I don't know the exact price though. Please note that I'm not working for Oracle though so you may want to wait for an answer from one from Oracle team.

Problem with a example of "Developing and Using ADF Faces Skins"

Hi, I've tried the example "Developing and Using ADF Faces Skins", but when I run the sample.jspx page and choose the skin "MyCompany" in the select skin I obtain the next message:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.ui.laf.simple.desktop.SideBarRenderer._getIconData(SideBarRenderer.java:393)

at oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.ui.BaseRenderer.render(BaseRenderer.java:79)
Could somebody help me?
Thanks a lot ;-)

Hi there,
I had the same issue last friday.
It's probably because you are using JDeveloper 10.1.3.2 instead of 10.1.3.0 or 10.1.3.1 for which the example is made.
I haven't been able to fix this yet, other then by commenting out the this part of the css.

JDeveloper 11g/ADF Faces Rich Client

Hello,
We are trying to decide between using JDeveloper 10.1.4 and JDeveloper 11g for developing a new application - we plan to use just the ADF Faces layer of the ADF Framework along with Spring and TopLink for other layers.
On one hand we think that is is safer to use 10.x version of ADF Faces as it may be more stable and on the other hand we are tempted to use 11g as it provides Ajax-enabled JSF Components.
Has anyone used ADF Faces Rich Client Framework for developing applications? Is it stable enought to be used for production-level applications?
I would love to hear your thoughts!

Hi,
don't use 10.1.3.4 to develop a new application now unless you have browser constraints with your user-base.
ADF Faces RC / 11g requires:
FireFox 2, 3
Internet Explorer 7.0
Safari 3.0
11g is a significant update and they have vastly improved/redesigned a lot of things that were difficult/complex to do in earlier versions.
Plus the 11g user interface is way better from a users perspective.

About skinning in ADF Faces EA19

I'm working with skinning adf faces technology and I'm trying to personalize .AFErrorIcon style with my own icon but it doesn't work. The image is not rendered. Can somebody help with this, please...
Thanks,
Victor

I am also trying to customize the skin for menu tab. However, it doesn't use the selectedIcons.
My JSP is :
<af:menuTabs var="item" value="#{Application.views}" >
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:commandMenuItem text="#{item.label}" action="#{item.select}" selected="#{item.selected}" />
</f:facet>
</af:menuTabs>
The demo uses goCommandItem and doesn't use facet "nodeStamp". I tried to change the property to selected ="true" and it still doesn't use the right icon. Could anyone let me know if it is a bug?

Adf faces skin-family change for page or component

I know how to change this by editing adf-faces-config.xml tile. Is it possible to change the skin-family at a page level or for even for an individual component?

You can change the skin at the page level by setting the value of the skin-family property to an expression language:
<adf-faces-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/view/faces/config">
<skin-family>#{skinFamily.skinSelection}</skin-family>
</adf-faces-config>
Where skinFamily is a managed bean and skinSelecion can be implemented as follows:
public String getSkinSelection()
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
UIViewRoot viewRoot = context.getViewRoot();
String viewId = viewRoot.getViewId();
System.out.println(viewId);
if ( viewId.startsWith("/blaf/") ) {
skinSelection = "oracle";
else if ( viewId.startsWith("/minimal/") ) {
skinSelection = "minimal";
else if ( viewId.startsWith("/vantive/") ) {
skinSelection = "vantive";
return skinSelection;
If you want to have two components, let's say, two tables, at the same page but with a different style you can accomplish that by using the inline-style tag.

How to apply New ADF Faces Skin into JHeadStart Application

Hi
I have downloaded the new skins such as srdemo,mycompany..
I have only changed skinfamily value in adf-faces-config file but when i generate application with JAG the new skin does not apply it.
Can anybody help me what's the problem?
thanks

This should work fine. Did you accidently re-enable JHeadstart on your project? This wil overwrite adf-faces-config.xml again, so double check your skin family is specified correctly.

ADF Faces Skins Not Working

I can't seem to get my ADF faces skins to register at all. I have a css file, an adf-faces-skins.xml file, and a <skin-family> element in my adf-faces-config.xml file, but to no avail.
One possible hint--I think I might not be getting access to the appropriate XML namespace in my adf-faces-skins.xml file. I can't, for example, get code insight to work there ("No insight available"). I'm using
<skins xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfview/faces/skin">
which looks like it's right out of the help. Am I missing a library of some sort?
Thanks much,
Avrom

Yes, I have, and I don't see anything I've done substantially differently from there--with the exception of adding a new version of Faces to my project. I assume I don't have to do that if I'm using 10.1.3 Production (the HowTo says it's a "more recent" version of Faces, but it was written against EA 1).

Using ADF Faces Skins

I'm looking for a reference on deploying Skins with ADF Faces. The published howto on OTN is'nt very helpful because the sample code link is broken (See my previous post). The JDeveloper help files are somewhat helpful but I'm looking for a working example. I'm following the technique as implemented in SRDEMO but I must be missing something as my style sheet changes are not showing up.
It would be nice if someone from Oracle could look into fixing the link to the sample code for:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/howtos/adfskins/index.html
I think if I had a working example that allows skins to change at runtime I would be able to figure out what I'm missing. I have been trying access the link for a couple days now and no one has reponded to any of my requests.

The link to http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/howtos/adfskins/adffaces-skin.war
seems to work for me.
In any case to change the skin you are using you change the adf-faces-config.xml file.
To get it to change at runtime - just put a reference to a value in a backing bean instead of the fixed "oracle" and then change the value in the bean at runtime.

Problem in Developing and Using ADF Faces Skins sample

sample.jspx dose not have “Select Skin” box as the document shown.
I am trying the sample project downloaded from sample WAR file - adffaces_skin.war in article “Developing and Using ADF Faces Skins”.
In paragraph “Changing the Color Schema of a Skin”
sample.jspx has a “Select Skin” box to allow user to select “Simple” or “MyCompany”. (in JSP Visual Editor)
However, it does not show on the project built from downloaded from sample WAR file (adffaces_skin.war).

After reading the whole document, I realize it is my mistake.
The box will be created after all user skins setting.
The sample works.
Only thing need to remind is for later version Jdeveloper, Application Worksapce in only for early version Jdeveloper. All the version after 10g 1.3 EA1, Only have Application.
