ADF Faces: included pages and bindings

Hello all,
I want to create a page with a panelSplitter, where the left panel has some sort of selection menu and the right panel displays a page depending on the selection made.
I am displaying the pages with ppr using f:subview and jsp:include. I have already learned that the bindings for the included page must be in the pageDef of the enclosing form for it to work properly. Now I found a post in the forum where someone said that in JDev 11 it would be possible to include one pageDef into another pageDef. Is that feature already available in the 11g Preview? If so, how do I use it?
Thanks,
Achim

Achim,
Including a .jsff page in a jspx/jsp page with the jsp:include tag will not include any pageDef associated with the page fragment. Instead you can include a page fragment in a page by creating a task flow that contains the fragment you wish to reference and then include the task flow in you jspx via an af:region. Below is a link to an online demo the illustrates how-to create a task flow.

Pass parameter to included page and read it in the included packing bean

Hello
i have a page include in adf page (main.jspx include body.jspx) and i send a parameter to the included page ,and the included page has a request scope backing bean ,and in the constructor for this backing bean i tried to read the parameter , how can i get the included parameter "userId" in the backingbean which is realted to body page i.e(i want to pass the userid parameter to the body backing bean),the following is my code.
main.jspx :
<f:subview id="Body">

<jsp:param name="userId" value="123456"/>
</jsp:include>
</f:subview>

ADF Faces : partial page rendering in f:subview

hi
Please consider this blog post, "ADF Faces: How-to issue a PPR event from a f:subview and how-to PPR of subviews" :
http://thepeninsulasedge.com/frank_nimphius/2008/02/14/adf-faces-how-to-issue-a-ppr-event-from-a-fsubview-and-how-to-ppr-of-subviews/
In this post, Frank Nimphius writes : "... PPR from a containing page to the subview - unfortunately - only works for the whole subview, which means that the included page is getting refreshed. Because the f:subview component does not support PR, you need to work with a wrapping ADF Faces container, like af:panelGroup ...".
But, it looks like such partial page rendering in a subview can be done without a specific "wrapping ADF Faces container" like this ...
        <h:form id="firstPPRPageFormID">
          <af:panelPage title="firstPPRPage">
            <af:panelHeader text="components on firstPPRPage">
              <af:panelForm>
                <af:panelLabelAndMessage label="dateUtil.currentDateAsString, with partial trigger">
                  <af:outputText value="#{dateUtil.currentDateAsString}"
                                 partialTriggers="firstSubviewID:firstSubviewCButton"/>
                </af:panelLabelAndMessage>
                <af:panelLabelAndMessage label="dateUtil.currentDateAsString">
                  <af:outputText value="#{dateUtil.currentDateAsString}"/>
                </af:panelLabelAndMessage>
                <f:facet name="footer">
                  <af:commandButton text="firstPPRPage button"
                                    id="firstPPRPageCButton"
                                    partialSubmit="true"/>
                </f:facet>
              </af:panelForm>
            </af:panelHeader>
            <f:subview id="firstSubviewID">
              <jsp:include page="/firstSubview.jspx" flush="true"/>
            </f:subview>
          </af:panelPage>
        </h:form>... and where firstSubview.jspx contains something like this ...
<af:panelHeader text="components on firstSubview">
    <af:panelForm>
      <af:panelLabelAndMessage label="dateUtil.currentDateAsString, with partial trigger">
        <af:outputText value="#{dateUtil.currentDateAsString}"
                       partialTriggers=":firstPPRPageFormID:firstPPRPageCButton"/>
      </af:panelLabelAndMessage>
      <af:panelLabelAndMessage label="dateUtil.currentDateAsString">
        <af:outputText value="#{dateUtil.currentDateAsString}"/>
      </af:panelLabelAndMessage>
      <f:facet name="footer">
        <af:commandButton text="firstSubview button" id="firstSubviewCButton"
                          partialSubmit="true"/>
      </f:facet>
    </af:panelForm>
</af:panelHeader>Note the value ":firstPPRPageFormID:firstPPRPageCButton" for the partialTriggers attribute.
see http://verveja.footsteps.be/~verveja/files/oracle/PartialPageRenderingInSubview-v0.01.zip (check README.txt)
questions:
(1) Why exactly does this approach seem to work?
(2) Because of question (1), what could be potential issues with this approach?
regards
Jan Vervecken

Jan,
good job ! I actually never thought of reversing what I said about PPR'ing a component from a subview.
Actually
partialTriggers=":firstPPRPageFormID:firstPPRPageCButton"/>
works because the leading ":" makes ADF Faces to start the component search from the root container. Note that if you use af:form instead of h:form, the trigger is
partialTriggers=":firstPPRPageCButton"/>
I'll update my blog

Adf faces, data control and more than one session context ?

I already put the question in the forum but nobody answered may be my question may not be so clear so i would put it again with other words.
Each xml page definition are instantiated in a binding container for a http session, you are able to get the data with bindings or data that represent the current binding container (bindings) or a given container corresponding to an another page that the current (data).
It is perfect when you don't allow multiple instances of the same page in the same application session. Browser are now offering tab management that allow user to navigate through multiple applications just by changing the current tab. It's very useful. I imagine that user's will be using it also in my application and will use it to compare or more simply just watch about two different entities of the same type (the same xml page definition, the same object instantiated in the binding container).
Because the binding container is associated with the http session all tabs will share the same one, isn't ? So i understand the problem and that it is forbidden to have many identical page for a single instance in the binding container because of synchronization issues.
Is all that i said true ?
Is it a way to solve this type of problem ?
Will this problem be addressed by adf faces and data controls ?
Hope somebody will answer !

ADF FACES: af:forEach and panelGrids

Hi,
I can't get code resembling the following to work:
<h:panelGrid columns="4">
<af:forEach items="#{bindings.WebCategoriesIterator.collectionModel}"
    var="current">
    <af:panelGroup>
      <af:outputText value="#{current.CatName}" />
      <af:outputText value="#{current.CatDesc}" />
    </af:panelGroup>
</af:forEach>
</h:panelGrid>Am I misunderstanding how one of these components works? I know <af:forEach> "only works with ADF Faces components", but I'd been assuming that means that all the components inside it have to be ADF Faces components, not that all the components on the page do. (That is, I'd assumed that the panelGrid was fine.)
I get a couple of Log4J "Error null" messages on the console when I run this, and the panel grid doesn't seem to render at all. A table built on the same data model works fine.
Assuming I can't use a forEach inside a panel grid, does anyone have any suggestions? Eventually, there will be images and links in these cells--the idea is to have a n x m grid of images, each linked to a "product" page, much as you might see in most web stores.
I suppose I could use a large tableLayout with cellFormats and manually check each row in the range in the form bean, setting rowLayout and cellFormat properties to "false" once there aren't any more rows, but this seems hideously ugly for what should be a fairly simple widget.

Problems with combination of ADF Faces, Tomahawk, Facelets and MyFaces

Hello,
I am trying to combine all things named in the Subject and run into several problems:
1. ADF Render Kit forces the Tomahawk Components to be rendered in a wrong way or stop there functionality.
Example 1: The clickable parts of the t:dataScroller Tag can not be accessed because an empty a Tag will be rendered after the outputText.
Example 2: The t:commandSortHeader Tag can be clicked but the table content will not be sorted anymore.
The given examples works if i remove the default-render-kit-id element from the faces-config.xml
2. The ad:table Tag runs into an ClassCastException, only when I put a simple example code snipped into my xhtml file.
Code snipped:
<af:table>
<af:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<af:outputText value="Firstname"/>
</f:facet>
</af:column>
<af:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Lastname"/>
</f:facet>
</af:column>
</af:table>
The stack trace look like this:

I followed all steps for the ADF installation and the suggested steps for using ADF with Facelets.
Used versions:
- Oracle ADF Faces 10.1.3 Early Access
- myFaces 1.1.1
- Facelets 1.1.1
- oc4j 10.1.2.0.2
Has somebody try to use these things together, too?
Thanks,

Hi,
Inside our fusion applications(ADF/Webcenter) using combination of JSTL and ADF Faces is good practice or pitfal?
To suggest a a rule of thumb: Try ADF Faces on-board functionality first before reaching out to JSTL. The difference between JSF in general and JSTL is that the JSTL expressions are evaluated at page compile time wheras JSF expressions are evaluated deferred. This difference may have an impact to PPR refreshes and the data rendering (which in many cases I assume you can fix by setting the ADF Faces component content delivery to immediate instead of deferred). On a training slight I flagged JSTL with a "heads up" alert because of this

ADF Faces: af:column and styleClass

The styleClass attribute of the af:column tag does not seem to have any effect. Do styleClass and inlineStyle only work with certain ADF Faces tags?
For example,
<af:column styleClass="headerXXSmall">
<f:facet name="header"><af:outputText value="First Name"/></f:facet>
<af:commandLink action="#{tabularBB.editLinkAction}">
<af:outputText value="#{row.firstName}"/>
</af:commandLink>
</af:column>
produces the following html. My "headerXXSmall" style class is ignored in favor of the ADF "xd" style class.
<td headers="M__Ida" class="x1l x4x">
<span class="headerXXSmall">
<a onclick="submitForm('_id3',1,{source:'_id3:_id4:0:_id8'});return false;" href="#" class="xd">Fred
</a>
</span>
</td>

Hallo,
Did anyone find ever a solution for that?
I have tried it with the following:
<af:column headerText="#{bindings.findAllFonds1.labels.quSt}" sortProperty="quSt" sortable="false" styleClass="myStyle">
... looking at the generated HTML, I don't see anything.
Thx, Willi

Hi Mukul,
Thanks for the tute, am new to ADF so this was of great help to me. I had a query, if i want to have my own look and feel web pages and Oracle ADF ones, does the custimzation involve too much of manual coding or can be done easily in ADF. Also is there an equivalent tag to div in ADF Faces

How to include "pages" and "documents" as different tabs in most popular item webpart from site collection ?

Hello,
I require to customize the most popular item web part that should show the "pages" and "documents" from entire site collection in different tabs in the same web part.
can anyone suggest me the approach on the same ?
Thanks and Regards,
Dipti Chhatrapati

Hi,
It would not be an easy job to customize an existing web part which with its own design.
As a suggestion, it would be more appropriate to create a custom new web part with the help of Search API in your scenario, there, we can create custom style more
freely than customizing on an existing web part.
About Search API in SharePoint 2013:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn423226.aspx
Some jQuery Tabs plugins would be helpful to you:

ADF FACES: af:table and complex column data

Using EA15.
I want to use an af:table to allow the in-place editing of the data. However, I have some fields that are not simple text entry fields. Two of them would ideally use af:selectOneList elements. This doesn't work given the limitations of how af:column elements work.
Is there anyone out there creating complex, in-place edit tables? If so, how are you doing it?
Thanks.

I was mistakenly believing that you couldn't use a selectOneChoice in an af:table given some experimentation where they simply failed to render at all.
It turns out that I had a hadn'e created the appropriate setter method for the property. However, instead of making the data readOnly (as most of the ADF FACES controls do) it just didn't render anything. Thus making me think it just didn't work inside of a table.
FYI - in case this happens to anyone else.

ADF Faces & BC: PPR and refresh condition on pagedef executables.

Hi all,
I'm running into some problems on my page when a command button is pressed. It's partialSubmit attribute is set to true, it seems that iterators/invokeActions within my pageDef are re-executed and thus resetting the index iterator cursor to its original position which leads to the following two messages:
Jun 2, 2008 5:34:57 PM oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.model.binding.FacesCtrlRangeBinding$FacesModel setRowKey
WARNING: row is null for rowKey:oracle.jbo.Key[TEST_MN 00123456 2008-05-08 98 98 4 ]
Jun 2, 2008 5:34:57 PM oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.model.binding.FacesCtrlRangeBinding$FacesModel makeCurrent
My pageDef code:
<iterator id="MasterVoIterator" RangeSize="10"
Binds="MasterVo"
DataControl="AppModule" />
<iterator id="DetailVoIterator" RangeSize="10"
Binds="DetailVo"
DataControl="AppModule" />
<invokeAction Binds="invokeInitValues" id="initValues"/>
I would like to know how to setup the refresh property under the following scinero:
1. when the page shows up for the first time:
MasterVoIterator - invoke
DetailVoIterator - invoke
invokeInitValues - invoke
2. When a show/hide button is used to display the detail rows is clicked:
MasterVoIterator - do nothing
DetailVoIterator - invoke // to refresh the detail records.
invokeInitValues - do nothing
Here is a pic of the component I am working with:

Any advice is appreciated
Thanks,

Hi,
use
${!adfFacesContext.postback}
as the refresh condition property value to avoid a refresh on postback (when a button is clicked)

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);
Regards,
Luis R.

ADF FACES: af:panelForm and wrapping text

Using EA15.
I have a long piece of text being displayed in the "value" (right) column of a panelForm element. The text is not wrapping and I can't find an easy way to make it wrap (as it should in a table cell). I can see that the generated HTML includes a "noWrap" in the TD element in the table. I don't see any way to control this setting.
Is there a way to allow the text in the right hand column of the panelForm to wrap?
Thanks.

Sure, here's a snippet:
<af:panelForm labelWidth="5%">
<af:panelLabelAndMessage label="some data:">
<af:outputText value="this is a really long string and it should wrap unless the panelForm prevents it from doing so when it would normally want to."/>
</af:panelLabelAndMessage>
</af:panelForm>
Take a look at the generated html and you'll see that the TD cell containing the value string is marked "noWrap" and that seems to be the culprit.
Thanks.

ADF FACES: af:messages and autosubmit

Using EA14.
I have a view comprised of a main .jspx and two included .jspx files that each contain a f:subview. The main .jspx uses an af:panelPage with a "messages" facet containing an af:messages element. An af:inputText field in a subview has the autoSubmit atrribute set "true". In a valueChangeListener on that field the value entered may be incorrect and a global error message is created by calling
FacesMessage fmsg = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, message, detail);
getFacesContext().addMessage(null, fmsg);
I give all this as prelude to asking why the message added above would not be displayed. If I add a message to the specific component, it appears properly. If I add a global message (clientid=null), the message does not appear. I even tried adding a partialTriggers to the af:messages element, but that didn't work either.
So, is there anything obvious that would be preventing the error message from being displayed?
Thanks.

Are you saying that, whether or not you specify a null clientId, it won't appear in the <af:messages>? When it's non-null, and refers to a specific component, does it appear both by the component or in <af:messages>, or only by the component?

ADF FACES: af:table and cellpadding

How do I control the basic table attributes of cellspacing and cellpadding when using an af:table with sortable headers?
I have searched through the documentation, and it's not clear at all. The attributes you'd expect (ala h:table) are not legal on af:table.
Thanks.

Andy, thanks for picking up this thread - I know the demands of a development schedule :-)
The problem with no padding on the table is that the data becomes very difficult to read when the cell contents are fairly uniform in size. You need padding around the contents in order to make it easy to read. Also, you should have some control over the border size (cell spacing) in order to create specific visual effects. I need control over the alignment of the cell contents. Not just left, right, and center, but also control over the vertical alignment as well. Finally, some control over things like background color and border color would be very helpful.
Although abstracting away from the underlying HTML has merits from a device independence perspective, there are capabilities in the HTML model that should not be lost in the process. Since HTML is the underlying view model in almost all cases, we should have proper control over that view. I don't really care how the functionality is realized, but tables are one of the most versatile components in HTML and we need solid control of that component from the ADF abstractions. The ability to control the table cell layout is just one example. Also, L&F guidelines should be just that - guidelines. The defaults should provide your goal L&F, but the developer should have the capability to override that guideline to meet specific project needs.
Thanks,
Larry.
