ADF Faces InputHidden required

Hi all,
I've a InputHidden in my form that has the required property as true. When the validation occurs, in the message panel is showed " - is required." without a label, in InputHidden hasn't a label property, so has any way to associate a label to a InputHidden to prevent this problem?
Thanks

Hi,
In my case i've a Two Fields as sample:
CODE, DESCRIPTION
In my screen i show only DESCRIPTION field, that's populated by a LOV (Popup), i need to update the CODE, that is a FK (Sequence), but it's field haven't relevancy to show to user, a detail, DESCRIPTION can only be populated by LOV, so it's disable field.
Thanks

Adf faces: Design Requirements

Can someone please point me in the right direction as to the best practices for designing jsp pages using adf.
We are at the design phase of the project at the moment and current technical design templates do not satisfy the requirements needed to design a page using adf faces.
Are there any examples out there???

Thanks for your response. My question was not so much about ADF itself. My question was how to design the pages and components that are to be coded.
May seem a very simple question but a framework such as ADF faces requires certain things to be in place eg. config files, backing beans...
I thought it may be advantageous to the community that design these pages (as well as the coders) to have example design documents (maybe that are used in the new ADF toystore) that designers can use to help them to get started with designing pages that use oracle ADF and to start with best practices rather than home grown mistakes.
Once again thanks for your response.

Help required building ADF-Swing/ADF-Faces using ADF Business Components

My question is in regards to how you can go about building a light swing application to an ADF model?
In particular if I were to say that we were developing a 3-tier project whereby we had a database tier, a series of EJB-ADF façade session beans to the database (middle-tier), and a swing client communicating with the session beans (view-controller tier), how would you go about developing these screens?
In particular can we develop these screens using ADF-Faces and also ADF-Swing?
The EJB session façade beans of course are ADF app modules with customised methods. The methods would return back customised DTO objects. These DTO objects are wrappers to row objects ADF would create. This would be mainly due to making these facade beans web service enabled (Oracle state that these methods cannot return oracle.jbo objects if they are to be web service enabled).
This would be typically deployed to an app server, like Oracle App Server 10G.
Could you please have a look at this, as I am doing a lot of research into this.
eg. Taking example from oracle magazine sept/oct 2006
with slight enhancements
package oramag.frameworks.example.common;
import oracle.jbo.ApplicationModule;
import oramag.frameworks.customdto.EmployeeDTO;
public interface HRService extends ApplicationModule {
void deleteCurrentEmpAndCommit();
EmployeeDTO findEmployee(int employeeId); // new method
import oramag.frameworks.customdto.EmployeeDTO;
public class HRServiceImpl extends ApplicationModuleImpl {
public void deleteCurrentEmpAndCommit() {
Row empRow = getEmpView().getCurrentRow();
if (empRow != null) {
empRow.remove();
getDBTransaction().commit();
public EmployeeDTO findEmployee(int employeeId)() {
EmployeeDTO employeeDTO = null;
EmployeesImpl employees = getEmployees();
employees.setNamedWhereClauseParam("EmployeeId", employeeId);
employees.executeQuery();
if(employees.hasNext()) {
EmployeesRowImpl employee = (EmployeesRowImpl)employees.next();
employeeDTO = new EmployeeDTO(employee);
return employeeDTO;
public EmployeesImpl getEmployees() {
return (EmployeesImpl)findViewObject("Employees");
Now given the above code snippet, how could you turn this into an ADF-Swing/ADF Faces application so that if a user using the swing application enters an employee id, then the application will execute the query on the app server, the app server in turn returns the results to the client, and the client finally display the results. Typical MVC example.
Cheers

The tutorial is for ADF BC used with JavaServer Faces.
While the tutorial doesn't cover it, we also support drag and drop development for Swing and visual WYSIWYG layout for Swing panels and windows, too. For a very simple example, watch screencast #4 on my blog here:
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2005/06/24/jdeveloperAdfScreencasts.html
One thing I have noticed is that when using ADF business components, when the app module returns a custom DTO object like the above example, it returns the data in a element structure according to the data control palette.
You don't generally ever need to create your own custom DTO's when working with ADF for use by client UI's. The only situation where can be necessary -- until we simplify this in the JDeveloper/ADF 11g release -- is when you desire to expose custom methods that can return sets/arrays of typed row structures through a web service. However, web services are not involved/required in building 3-tier Swing applications.
When dropping onto a page it does so like a string and doesnt give option to display the data in a read only form etc. Is there anything we need to do, to get the functionality.
It's more of what you don't need to do :-)
Just leverage the active data model that the ADF application module provides. You can read more about it in section 4.5 "Understanding the Active Data Model" of the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers on the ADF Learning Center at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/learnadf.html). Your UI's bind to view object instances in the data model, and your UI's are automatically kept up to date without needing to write methods that return data. I short article I wrote that preceeded my writing the ADF Developer Guide content on this topis is here:
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2006/01/26/theAdfBusinessComponentsActiveDataModel.html
I know that when dropping a view object you get this functionality. Also was wondering if we were to pass an object of thios type back to the model it might not give us the rich functionality like input forms, like what Oracle provides if we were to drop a enitity view object.
Just use the active data model and everything becomes totally easy, with no changes required to switch between local or three-tier deployment configurations.
Trying to do everything with hand-coded DTO beans is really going the hard way.
Could you help us regarding this?

Message bundle, replace default "Required" message in ADF faces

Hello,
I hope i can ask some ADF faces questions here,
I am trying to replace the default msg that adf faces give for different components
I successfully created a resource properties file which includes 2 msgs, one is to replace the default value given to required msg, and other is just a msg i will use for one of my buttons.
oracle.adf.view.faces.UIXEditableValue.REQUIRED=Enter number please
button_name=Submit
I specify this bundle in my application node in my faces config file.
I also load it with loadbudle component in the page that i want to use it.
now i can call my second msg "button_name" fine from with in the page, so I know that I have my file set up correctly,
but the first msg, which is the key for the required msg, does not work
em i missing something??
is there a different setup when trying to override msgs.
Thank you

I found a solution,
I hope there is a better one,
What i did is a got the source for ADF faces found the XML file where all the msgs are located (MessageBundle.xrts). Then using a tool that comes with the source files XRTSMakeBundle, I compiled the XML file, and it created java files with all the msgs. So I compiled them and replaced the classes in the ADF faces api jar.
this seems like a long work around, in JSF RI, all you have to do is extend the key in the resource bundle and poof it works, I couldn't get that working here.
This works, seems like a lot of work for a simple task!!!
any other solutions out there????

How much memory and CPU requirement to deploy ADF Faces application ?

Hi All,
Is there any formula or docs to help me to determine how much memory and CPU requirement for IAS server, to deploy ADF Faces application ?
How much memory / CPU GHz required per 1 user ?
We plan to develope web based ERP application using ADF Faces and ADF BC.
Pleasssee.. give me any aclue.. I need it so badly..
Thank you for your help,

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!

ADF Faces - Which type of barcode scanner is recommended for ADF JSP?

Hello everybody:
1.- I'm trying to implement and adf faces app, with the functionality to get some
data from a barcode reader.
2.- I was reading about the different types of reader's interfaces: keyboard wedge,
RS232, USB, bluetooth, etc.
--- QUESTION' SECTION ---
3.- First, the best thing is that my app could be compatible with all interfaces, I
don't know if this is possible without any changes to the code.
4.- If the previous point is not possible, I know that at least my app has to be
compatible with the KB wedge and RS232, because I have read that the USB
just emulate these two interfaces, but in an USB port.
5.- I haven't read to much about this, but I need that my app do a post imediately
after read the barcode, so the best thing my mind could imagine is add an
<enter> char from the reader, I read too that this is only possible with the
RS232, is the only way to modify the output of the scanner before send it to
the app, and with the KB wedge is not possible.
6.- But, the KB wedge is easier to use because my app does not require any extra-
code to handle it, the only thing is: the cursor must be in the correct place in
the correct time.
I have read in this forum that some people has already implement this, if some of
you guys have any suggestion, please let me know.
Thnks in advance.
Alex.

Hi,
thre is no specific certification between barcode readers and ADF Faces. So if you need a barcode reader, it s up to you testing which one can interact with the browser to fill in the form fields (and this basically is all it does)

JDeveloper 10g, ADF Faces & BC: setVar method on CoreTable is not working

Hi all,
I am in the process of creating a custom tag library for our organization. I seem to be having problems with the setVar method on the CoreTable component. I created a simple reproducible example using the scott/tiger schema. Within my tabletest.jsp, I have a af:table which was created via dragging from the datacontrol pallet. Next, I add my custom tag and set the same value attribute. When I run the page, #{row.Deptno} does not evaluate to anything! However, I know that the value is set properly due to the same number of rows appearing within my custom table tag.
Suggestions are appreciated.
thanks,
Wes

How to populate ADF Faces Drop Down without Errors?

Hi,
I have a drop down in ADF Faces which gets populated when a value is selected in another drop down. And its mandatory that we need to select both the values from the drop down. Hence i have used the attribute 'required' and set it to 'true'. The code snippet is here.
<af:selectOneChoice styleClass="selectOneClass" unselectedLabel="Pick One" inlineStyle="width:250px" accessKey="S" label="Site" id="siteDrop" disabled="false" rendered="true" required="true"
requiredMessageDetail="Select a Value" value="#{QualityEvalBean.sites}"
valueChangeListener="#{QualityEvalBean.siteValueChange}" autoSubmit="true" immediate="true">
<f:selectItems value="#{QualityEvalBean.siteslist}"/>

</af:selectOneChoice>
<af:selectOneChoice inlineStyle="width:250px" unselectedLabel="Pick One" accessKey="T" label="Transaction Type" id="transDrop" rendered="true"
partialTriggers="siteDrop" immediate="true" required="true" value="#{QualityEvalBean.transactionType}">
<f:selectItems value="#{QualityEvalBean.transactionTypeList}"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>
While picking the value from the first drop down the second drop down is also getting validated and its giving a red colored icon beside the second drop down. There are absolutely no issues in case of populating the values in the second drop down.
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks
Rahul Uday

you can create a method to populate the context attribute that you are using to map to your dropdown box.
DATA: node_info TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info.
DATA: it_table TYPE wdr_context_attr_value_list.
** select your dropdown data into it_table and pass it to your context attribute.
** here, mine is call PROJ_TYPE - the values should appear in your dropdown.
node_info->set_attribute_value_set(
name = 'PROJ_TYPE'
value_set = it_table ).

ADF Faces - indenting text in table column.

Is there a way to indent text in an ADF Faces coreColumn component? I'm trying to represent a recursive tree structure in a CoreTable. I've tried inserting object spacers depending on the depth of each node in the tree, but Faces then wraps the text after the spacers, even when I specify no wrap for the column.
Better yet, is there a way I could do this with a tree component? I've tried separating the different levels into different collections with separate custom methods, but I don't know how to specify the master/detail relationships between them.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Brian Spear.

Thanks, Frank. I don't think a tree table is the answer; it has the same requirements as the tree (or so I understand) with regards to populating each level from a different collection, and foreign key relationships. Not suitable for recursive relationships. Furthermore it only shows a small part of the tree at a time. I've got as far as returning a list of nodes within a structure, and I can display the structure, with icons for expanding and collapsing the nodes. All I need now is a way to indent the levels so the structure is more visible. The best I've managed so far is by inserting ". . ." in the text itself on each lower level, to make the left-justified text look indented. Obviously, I'd like a better way, that can be implemented in the view layer.
Is there maybe a way of nesting objects within an outputText component so that it doesn't wrap? Must look into that.
Thanks again.
Brian Spear.

ER - Problem with ADF Faces filter when running ADF Faces within a portlet

I am attempting to get ADF Faces to run within Oracle Portal, i.e. within a portlet using the JPDK.
This, I am sure you are about to tell me, is not something that is fully supported, as yet.
However, I have been successful in getting MyFaces to run within a portlet, by customizing the form tag.
MyFaces, it seems, keeps track of the current viewid by storing it in the session, then uses this within the viewhandler and navigationhandler to determine the next view to load, based on the faces-config.xml navigation entries.
By customizing the form tag it is then possible to retrieve this viewid from the faces context and outputting it in the form's action parameter.
It is also possible, with a few more customizations, to run JSF RI within a portlet, i.e. by adding a custom viewhandler and loading a session variable with the current viewid from the faces context, then retrieving the viewid and outputting it as the action string in the customized form tag .
Unfortunately there does not appear to be any way of getting ADF Faces (EA19 version) to run as a portlet, with either the RI or with MyFaces.
I have configured a basic .jspx document in the <showPage> tags of the provider.xml file.
This uses only the form tag and a few input tags and works when executed directly within my portlet project in JDeveloper (http://localhost:8988/TestJSFAppContext/faces/htdocs/facesportlet/index.jspx) using a redirectfilter (*.jspx htdocs -> /faces/htdocs).
It is not possible to run ADF Faces with RI as a portlet since customization of the ADF Faces ViewHandler appears not to be supported.
When attempting to run this with MyFaces as a portlet, however, I get the following message:
oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.webapp.AdfFacesFilterImpl verifyFilterIsInstalled
WARNING: The AdfFacesFilter has not been installed. ADF Faces requires this filter for proper execution.
I am having difficulty in understanding as to why this is happening but am guessing it must be something to do with either redirect URLs or due to the .jspx files being under /htdocs, i.e. the ADF Faces renderkit is checking that the ADF Faces filter is configured but the check fails since the filter does not execute.
I have configured the filter in web.xml, as detailed in the documentation:
<filter>
    <filter-name>adfFaces</filter-name>
    <filter-class>oracle.adf.view.faces.webapp.AdfFacesFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>adfFaces</filter-name>
    <servlet-name>ADF Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>ADF Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>ADF Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/faces/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>and have modified the provider.xml file as follows:-
      <renderer class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.render.RenderManager">
         <renderContainer>true</renderContainer>
         <renderCustomize>true</renderCustomize>
         <autoRedirect>true</autoRedirect>
         <contentType>text/html</contentType>
<showPage>/faces/htdocs/facesportlet/index.jspx</showPage>
         <editPage>/htdocs/facesportlet/FacesportletEditPage.jsp</editPage>
         <editDefaultsPage>/htdocs/facesportlet/FacesportletEditDefaultsPage.jsp</editDefaultsPage>
      </renderer>with the following tags also set:
   <session>true</session>
   <passAllUrlParams>true</passAllUrlParams>In order to ensure that the session stays alive so that the views are retrieved.
As I say, the page loads OK when run directly within the JPDK project within JDeveloper, with a redirect filter (*.jspx -> /faces/*.jspx) but not when run from within Oracle Portal.
In fact I have found that this filter is very sensitive, i.e. ADF Faces will not run in any project unless the configuration is exactly as above.
It seems that the MyFaces team have got around the problem of maintaining session state with redirections but that ADF Faces needs the page URL that is passed in to the filter to be consistent.
Is there some way around this, i.e. some kind of customization that I can implement to get the filter working?
Thnks

I have found a way to go round the problem.
I use the servlet 2.4/jsp 2.0 route and then
change the web.xml header to the servlet 2.3/jsp 1.2
format. Everything then works fine after this!
Please fix this for production.

does any one yet tried this ?Are you trying to 1) get the ADF faces components working in Creator itself or 2) adding them afterward to an existing Creator developed page? Unfortunately, #1 requires additional work. See http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/edwingo?entry=component_authoring_for_creator for more information. You may be able to do #2, but I haven't tried it.

ADF Faces: how to extend one of the faces components

Hi all,
I am thinking of extending the built-in ADF Faces CommandMenuItem component (to work around a bug that was filed). The only thing that I think I need to do is to add an additional property - I don't believe that I will need to add any additional behavior to the tag.
Can anyone comment on (high level) the steps that I would need to go through? I'd like to
a). Add the property
b). Make sure the property shows up in the JDev property inspector
c). Inherit everything else from CoreCommandMenuItem.
I've looked at the source code (from the Apache guys), and this doesn't look too hard. I don't want to re-compile the whole Apache drop, just create a new component as described above, but I've no idea really where to start.
Any insights appreciated,
John

Hello John,
I don't know how possible it will be. It depend on what kind of property you want to add. Here are the general indications to acheive this.
1) Make a custom component class extending CommandMenuItem class and add an additional property.
2) Extends the commandMenuItem tag clas with your own
3) override the method public void setProperties(javax.faces.component.UIComponent component)
you just have to call the parent first which is the specification behavior anyway, so:
public void setProperties(UIComponent component) {
super.setProperties(component);
// Cast the component to your component class and set your additional property on it
4) The hard part... This is where I'm unsure of the procedure, but I would say that you'll have to extends ADF Faces's renderer for commandMenuItem and find a way to push the property in it if it has to be sent to the client. This seem really annoying to do. One way to do it would be to wrap the ResponseWriter so you can intercept what the parent renderer encodes and insert your property in the right spot. That strategy requires an additional (probably intern) class extending ResponseWriter. Then you would have to do something like this:
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ResponseWriter initial = context.getResponseWriter();
context.setResponseWriter(new MyWrapperWriter(initial));
super.encodeBegin(context, component);
context.setResponseWriter(initial);
The Wrapper would have to override all methods and delegate the call to the wrapped instance. When calling startElement(String) you would add a call to writeAttribute for your own property.
5) For showing the property in the property editor panel you must fill a faces-config.xml file with the <component> tag. Since that one does not allow inheritance (which is really annoying imho) you'll have to copy most of the properties from adf faces' faces-config.xml file.
6) Fill the tld for your new tag
7) JAR the whole thing
8) Edit your tag library from Tool in the menu I think (not on a computer with JDev installed atm so cannot be sure). Add your library that you just created. If faces.config.xml and the .tld are well made JDev will figure prety much everything on its own. You will now have a new choice in the dropdown menu of the component palette for your custom library.
I hope I was decently clear.
