ADF Faces dialog

Hello,
Is there any way to launch dialog on defined screen position, eg screen center?

Check out:

You can put the move script in the dialog body onLoad javascript event. The screen object can help you get the screen resolution to help you calculate how to "center" your dialog.

ADF Faces: dialog framework calls twice prepareModel and prepareRender

Hi ,
does anybody know why ADF Faces dialog framework calls twice prepareModel and prepareRender lifecycle methods . That's a really problem for me because i'm calling db procedures through backing beans methods which are attached on components properties.
I cannot allow myself to cal the procedures more than once.
Can somebody help me?

Okay, although the servlet doesn't require to be run inside the JSF context, I added "/faces" to the URL simply because this would allow me to query the "postback" flag. In other words, I changed the invocation URL from "/jrrun" to "/faces/jrrun".
In the servlet's "service()" method I put:
logger.debug(">>>>>> isPostBack? " + AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().isPostback());
I also attached a JSF PhaseListener to the whole thing.
Then I opened the parent page, I clicked on the button and the dialog appeared. The console output follows:

By the way, partialSubmit="true" has the same effect as partialSubmit="false".
I'm not sure I understand you correctly. Or perhaps you don't understand me correctly.
I haven't got a problem with the parent page. I have a problem with the dialog page. It's executed twice. The RENDER_RESPONSE phase (as well as the RESTORE_VIEW phase) is executed twice.
I want it to be executed only once. I don't want the servlet to be executed twice.
Let me point out again that in the Embedded OC4J (inside JDeveloper) everything is okay. The servlet is executed only once. However, the same thing on OAS 10.1.3.1 runs twice.

Can ADF Faces Dialog Framework be used in a Bounded Task Flow ?

Jdev. 11.1.1.4
I have read chapter "19 Using Dialogs in Your Application" in the Jdev documentation.
There explains that there are mainly two methods to open dialogs in ADF:
The first (point 19.2) is calling a bounded task flow from a view activity (for example). This system can only open modal windows.
The other is using the ADF Faces Dialog Framework and it seems to be more general. In point "19.3.1 How to Define a JSF Navigation Rule for Opening a Dialog" it is explainied the way to achieve this but the explanation begins with "In the adfc-config.xml file, create a page flow for".
does this mean that I can not use this technology inside a Bounded task flow ?
I have tried and it seems that it doesn't work.
Currently we are using af:showpopupbehaviour to open popups, but this doesn't work with task flows and I don't like this.

does this mean that I can not use this technology inside a Bounded task flow ?ADF Faces Dialog Framework can be used in both unbounded and bounded taskflows.
I have tried and it seems that it doesn't work.The command commponent outcome must begin with "dialog:" and the command component tag must have useWindow="true", for example:
<tt><af:commandButton action="dialog:toEdit" useWindow="true" .../></tt>
Currently we are using af:showpopupbehaviour to open popups<af:showPopupBehaviour> can be used to open inline popups, but it has nothing to do with the Dialog Framework. Inline popups and the dialogs of the Dialog Framework are two different things.

ADF Faces Dialog problem.

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper IDE- 10.1.3.3.
I have a ADF Faces Dialog (launch Dialog) with a form and several input text components binded to a Backing Bean.
When Dialog is opened for the second time, the values of the text components loaded with previous values which I have enterd for the first time.
Scope of the Backing Bean is Request.
All the launch Dialogs are working in the same way.
The problem exists when I run the application from Application server(10.1.2.0).
It works fine from the JDeveloper.
How to do this ? please help!
Its very urgent.
Note: I have different application with similar launch dialog and functionality which works fine on the same Server and JDeveloper.
Thanks in advance.

Supravat,
A sample of the pertinent code from a dialog that persists values would be helpful here.

ADF Faces Dialog position and status bar

Hi,
I would like to set the status ="no" for the popup and set the position before it is launched..
Is there a way to do this with a selectInputText custom renderer or something else?? using the JSF navigation rules "dialog:"
Thanks
JO

Yes you can. Try to lauch the dialog manually.
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
UIViewRoot root = context.getApplication().getViewHandler().createView(context, "/faces/test.jspx");
HashMap properties = new HashMap();
properties.put("width", new Integer(200));
properties.put("height", new Integer(200));
properties.put("status","no");
properties.put("left", new Integer(80));
properties.put("top",new Integer(80));
AdfFacesContext afContext = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Map dialogParameters = new HashMap();
dialogParameters.put("message", "This is a test.");
afContext.launchDialog(root, dialogParameters, null, true, properties);

ADF Faces - Dialog from code

Hi everyone,
I need to open a dialog window which is not actually in any .jsp file, but it's being coded at the backed bean.
any ideas how to do it?
thanks in advance

I'm working over a jsp page which represent a master entity. there is a table, to represent the detail, on this file, where the columns are loaded dinamically. so far it works...
at the footer of this table there are action buttons to insert, update or delete a detail. the fields in the popup, to insert a new detail for instance, are to be built dinamically.
I have setup a jsp for the detail using the same backedbean then for the master. the form has a binding, and so does a panelGrid where i want to add the new fields
I have a method where i'm creating the new fields, which is called at the getForm method, but when i try to get the childre's reference from the panelGrid i get a null pointer exception
any ideas how to solve this?

Hi, I want to open dialog window with ADF Faces

Hi, I want to open dialog window with ADF Faces when commandButton pressed, but the window opended at same window, not opened new window.
my command button is follow,
<af:commandButton text="Ücret Girişi"
binding="#{backing_rezervasyonlar.rez_iptal}"
id="rez_iptal"
action="dialog:ucret"
windowHeight="200"
windowWidth="300"/>
I am waiting your help....

Remove the partialSubmit attribute from the declaration of your command button. Therefore, the code you posted should be:
<af:commandButton text="Ücret Girişi"
binding="#{backing_rezervasyonlar.rez_iptal}"
id="rez_iptal"
action="dialog:ucret"
useWindow="true"
windowHeight="200"
windowWidth="300"/> NOT:
<af:commandButton text="Ücret Girişi"
binding="#{backing_rezervasyonlar.rez_iptal}"
id="rez_iptal"
action="dialog:ucret"
partialSubmit="true"
useWindow="true"
windowHeight="200"
windowWidth="300"/> --RiC

ADF Faces JDev 10g Dialog framework and session timeouts

Hi,
using ADF Faces & BC 10.1.3.4 for a web application with a main page that opens a dialog where the uses fill out stuff and click next until complete. Occasionally they will leave the application open and the session times out and when they go to use it they get the login page inside the dialog. They login but as expected the whole state of their session is lost resulting in no or the wrong record being displayed. Additionally of they go back to the parent window the row keys are all stuffed, they get the first record in the dialog even though the record from the previous session was still shown on the screen.
Any web developer would know to close the dialog and login properly, but this for end users of any experience level.
Is there anyway to prevent the login screen appearing in the dialog or at least direct them to properly re-establishing the session?
Brenden

Hi,
the question is how you identify that the page is loaded in a dialog window. Because if you know this then the redirect would be to a html page that has an onLoad event defined that calls window.close();. Next problem then however is that the calling parent page too is timed out.

ADF Faces: PPR and Dialog framework

Hi All,
I know that there have been some navigation-related issues reported with 10.1.3 and the dialog framework, so if this is a bug.....
Anyway, I have an ADF Faces page that displays some data (from ADF View Object) in an af:Table. I have an "Edit Record" button and a "Create Record" button in the appropriate facets of the table. The 2 buttons use a dialog: navigation case (useWindow=true) to open a pop-up window with a record displayed for editing. Each of the buttons also has partialSubmit=true with an appropriate ID set on the button.
Now, I am trying to get the table to refresh upon return from the dialog. After much experimentation, I have found that setting the partialTriggers property on the af:OutputText components that are inside the af:Table->af:Column will cause an existing row to refresh upon return from the edit button. However, I cannot get a new row to show up inside of the table upon return from the create button. I have tried setting partial triggers on the af:OutputText, af:Column, af:Table, etc all the way up to the top-level af:Page to no avail. I have also tried refreshing the iterator binding in the dialog return, to no avail. If I completely refresh the page (see sample code below), the record does show up, but it does cause other undesirable side effects (screen scrolls to the top, af:showDetailHeader's re-set their state, etc).
Any pointers are appreciated...
Here is the code behind my create button:
public String performCreateCheck()
    DCBindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
    OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("CreateNewCheck");
    Object result = operationBinding.execute();
    // Stuff snipped - the CreateNewCheck binding does a "CreateInsert" on my VO
    return "dialog:EditCheck";
}Here is the code that refreshes the page (causes the new row to appear):
protected void refreshCurrentPage()
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    String currentView = context.getViewRoot().getViewId();
    ViewHandler vh = context.getApplication().getViewHandler();
    UIViewRoot x = vh.createView(context, currentView);
    x.setViewId(currentView);
    context.setViewRoot(x);
}Kind regards,
John

Found this: http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2004/09/23/notYetDocumentedAdfSampleApplications.html#81
on Steve M's blog. His example uses exactly the same method that I do. However, It would be nice to get this working "properly" with PPR instead of refreshing the whole page. Here are what I see as the drawbacks to the "refresh the whole page" method:
1). The page will scroll up to the top. If the page is bigger than a screenful, this is an annoyance.
2). Any af:showDetailHeader's will have their disclosed property reset (unless you implement some method of saving their state). This is an issue for me, as the af:Table is inside of a normally un-disclosed af:showDetailHeader
3). If any component anywhere puts something into the faces messages (e.g. "Record saved"), it will be lost when the page is refreshed.
Any ideas on how to get this working with PPR?
Regards,
John

Using dialog box in adf face

hello,
I like to know if it's possible to use the dialog of adf faces to meet these needs
A) in case i want to insert row in the table :
1- verify if the information that i try to insert doesnt exist in database, if not a dialog must displayed to inform that we can't insert because the information already exist.
2- once the user click on the insert button, another dialog message must be displayed to ask the user to confirm the insert operation, the dialog will be an OkCancel type .
3- After the insert operation is complete, a last dialog message must be displayed to confirm that the insert operation is succesful.
B) in case of delete row operation :
1- a dialog of confimation must be displayed (OkCancel), after the user click delete button.
2- a second dialog message stating that the delete operation is successful.
my last question is if its possible to use one dialog message and change his parameter according to the situation.
that's all, i look for the simplest solution
thank you in advance

actually I do not want the action to be triggered from the dialog box, because with this method I would have to create a popup object for each control, I'd rather create my dialog boxes from code. I have an example that can generate a dialog box to type information :
public String cb1_action() {
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("Commit");
Object result = operationBinding.execute();
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, new FacesMessage( FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "Success", null));
if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
return null;
return null;
but I do not know how to make this dialog box to be interactive so that i can choose one of two action ok or cancel and after binding an event to each action (okay or cancel)
thanks

Customizing ADF Faces Look & Feel. Some questions & suggestions

Hi everybody,
We are developing an application with ADF Faces using JHeadStart. For the moment, I am studying the way we must modify the JHS templates to adapt each element to our needs.
As it's told in the JHeadStart Developer's Guide, there are two ways to customize Look & Feel:
1) Modifying the templates
2) ADF Skinning
I'm using both methods, but I feel that thay are not good enough to adapt the L&F to our customer requirements.
My main problem now is in the ADF Table customization. I want to use ADF Table because it offers us a lot of features that are not in the jsf table (the selection column, the table overflow...), and is very usefull combined with the generated JHS code. But at the same time, it doesn't offer a lot of functionality in the look & feel customization. Using JSF Table, I can set the CSS style for headers, rows, columns, the table, I can set the border, cellspacing and cellpadding. But I cannot do
any of these thing (or at least, I don't see how) with the ADF Table.
Our customer (a government) have a strict definition of the look & feel of his web applications. They want we use their CSS styles definition file, so they can modify at once the Look & Feel of all their applications. Modifying the L&F through skinning generate other styles, not use the style classes in our CSS (o so I think).
So, the questions:
1) There is any way to set the suitable styles for the ADF Table components (headers, rows)?
1bis) Why, If I have defined a new skin, with only just a few selectors, some styles from oracle are applied? Maybe because the render kit in the 'adf-skins.xml' is "oracle.adf.desktop"? If it is true, how can I make that they are not used, I must implement a render kit or can I use another existent?
2) Can I decide how looks the select column (for example a button instead of a radio button)? Can I decide where does it goes (right or left)?
3) There is any way to hidden the text Show/Hide of the showDetail in the table (the tableOverflow), as I can change the icons through skinning? If it is not possible, How can I overwrite the text. I need it in Catalan, but it is shown in English for this locale. Where is the message bundle I should overwrite?
4) There is any way to force a tree to start fully expanded?
5) There is anywhere documentation about the javascript functions used in ADF and their meaning? I think for example in the previous question. If I knew which javascript function I should call for expand the tree and its parameters, I could put the call in the onload event of the body.
6) I use a selectInputDate. I have skinned the launch-icon, and I would like to do a similar thing in the chooseDate that is opened in a new window. But It seems not to be affected for my skinning directives (if I put a chooseDate in the same page, its L&F follow the skinning rules I've defined). I don't know if this dialog is an ADF feature or a JHS generated feature.
7) There is any way to keep unmodified the id I've choosed for a component? (I mean, an inputText with id="hello" in a form with id="form" will have in the HTML an id = "form:hello", but I would like it to be simply 'hello')
8) How can I control the position and the size of a dialog (the chooseDate dialog or a dialog I've created)? In the cases I've been testing, it seems the dialog is forced to resize depending on the content. I would like to know if I can establish a fixed size.
9) There is any way to open a non-modal dialog? (which I could keep open at the same time that another instance of the same dialog)
For the moment, I think I have no more question. But give me time.... :-D
The suggestion I've to do is basically more flexible components for a better customization (for example, the styles settings I've talked about previously). ADF components are nice and powerful, but I think they should generate pages that follow the tendencies in the web development: tableless pages (I cannot understand the utility of the objectSpacer existing the margins), use of CSS for layout...
Any answer, comment or suggestion will be welcome.
Carles.

I have been able to make the UIX 2.2 and ADF Faces LAF look near identical by updating the oracle-desktop.xss file within UIX 2.2 as follows

<style name="DarkAccentBackground">

<property name="background-color">#d2d8b0</property>
</style>
There are still some differences:
1) A black line appears on the ADF Faces on the 'menu1' facet selected tab below the text. DON'T KNOW HOW TO REMOVE THIS FROM ADF Faces or add it to UIX 2.2!!!
2) In UIX 2.2 a bulleted list uses the HTML <li> tag. In ADF Faces it doesn't use the HTML <li> tag rather it constructs the bulleted list using lower level HTML tags with the 'bullet' becoming an image, in my browser this means the disc is smaller in Faces. The motivation for this change I think is explained via this post. Since I have no control over how this specific HTML tag is rendered it forces me to replace the /adf/images/bltdscn.gif file in adf-faces-impl.jar with a larger disc!

May update this again if there are other things I notice.

ADF Faces useWindow attribute

I am trying to open a Dialog window using an af:CommandLink. It is not opening a new window, only navigating to the page as normal. Is there anything obvious I am doing wrong? I have also seen this syntax
useDialog="true"
The IDE is rejecting this as not part of the tld. It may have been part of an earlier version of ADF Faces?
Here is the script from the page
<af:table   var="row"
            value="#{accountBacking.accounts}"
            rows="5"
            banding="row"
            styleClass="table.sample"
            binding="#{accountBacking.table}"
            >
.......Trimmed for relevance.........
    <af:column formatType="icon">
        <f:facet name="header">
            <af:outputText value="Edit"/>
        </f:facet>
        <af:commandLink useWindow="true"
                        action="#{accountBacking.editAccountAction}"
                        partialSubmit="true">
            <af:objectImage source="/images/edit-blue.gif"/>
        </af:commandLink>
    </af:column>
.......Trimmed for relevance.........
</af:Table>

I figured it out. In older examples where useDialog was used, the return value from the action was "process:something". This was also defined as a navigation rule in faces-config.xml
I found an example from oracle that uses the useWindow attribute. Instead of "process:something" it should be "dialog:something"
Here is the example

Creation of object with sub-objects in ADF Faces

I am trying to create an object that has associated sub-objects (header/detail) using ADF Faces. The user enters the header information in an ADF Form, then he creates detail data. Example: If the object is a PO, user creates the PO header info and, in an ADF table, he creates the PO lines.
The problem is I am not able to figure how to bind the ADF table to the object that is being created. In a normal master-detail form, you drag the associated list from the Data Control palette and JDev automatically creates an accessor iterator that "feeds off" the master iterator. But, in this case, the associated list does not appear in the data control palette. Nor am I certain that is the right thing to do, anyway.
Help! This seems like it would be a common pattern.
Ara

Sorry. Here is some more information:
1. The project is for tracking duplication jobs requests.
2. Data Model--DocumentTicket and JobDocument objects are EJB 3.0 JPA objects. DocumentTicket has a getter (getJobDocuments) to retrieve a List<JobDocument> of related job documents. JobTicketManager is the session bean that encapsulates most business methods.
3. I am using ADF Faces bindings to "publish" the data model to the GUI.
4. In the GUI, I dragged/dropped the DocumentTicket constructor from the data control palette to create the document ticket. This created the appropriate method action bindings, as well as the DocumentTicketIter iterator to iterate over the constructor result.
5. Of course, the user also needs to specify the related job documents. In the GUI, I would like to have an ADF table that displays the current job documents, and a button labeled "Add Document" that is wired to a pop-up dialog. The idea is that the user clicks on the "Add Document" button, enters the information about the new JobDocument object. The object is then created and the table is updated with a new row. The table is also used to manipulate the list of job documents (chiefly, it allows the user to change their listed order).
Step 5 is where I am having trouble. I can see how to create the pop-up dialog, how to wire it to the JobDocument constructor, how to update the data model. The problem is: I do not know to which object I should wire the JobDocument table. Logically, I should be able to wire it to the jobDocumentList property. However, that is not displayed in the data control palette under the constructor results (it is displayed elsewhere; for example, under the result of the findAllDocumentTickets method).
I suppose I could create a separate finder method in the session bean, but then how do I connect it to the object being constructed (i.e., to the JobDocumentIter iterator)?
Either I am missing something here or I am hitting some limitation of the ADF binding framework.

URGENT: ADF Faces table updating issue.

I have a project that uses JSF, ADF Faces, EJB 3.0, and the ADF binding framework.
In this project, I have a page with a databound ADF Faces Table. The table has a number of read-only columns and two read-write columns. I also have an Edit button that allows the user to pop up a dialog box to edit the selected row of the table. When the user clicks OK in the dialog box, the data is passed back to the main page and the table is updated.
Everything works correctly for the read-only columns. For the read-write columns, however, the table data does not get updated following an edit. This is what I have found:
1. The table row data gets passed in to the Edit dialog correctly.
2. The data gets passed back correctly.
3. The model gets updated correctly (up to and including the database).
4. Looking at the iterator in the debugger shows the correct, updated data.
5. When the table row is getting redrawn, the getter calls for the read-write columns return the updated data.
6. As mentioned above, the read-only columns get updated correctly.
7. Updating the read-write columns directly from the table works correctly.
So, the problem appears to be in the GUI layer. I suspect that, somehow, the submitted values of the read-write columns are not getting set properly, but I cannot figure out how to do this.
Note that clicking on the Edit button results in a partial submit. In the return listener, I add a call to AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(getRecipientTable()) in order to redraw the table (getRecipientTable() is the bound value of the ADF table).
Please help! We are so close to production and we need to fix this.
Thanks,
Ara

Hi,
I don't have a testcase for this, so I just come up with ideas to try
1. refresh the parent container of the table. It seems that the input text components are not triggered to refresh if the refresh is on the table.
2. If using ADF, make sure the update is performed directly on theiterator (which automatically is the case if you use a ADF bound form for this)
3. Check if executing the table iterator and then setting back the current row makes a difference
