hai
Our company has planned to use ADF Faces.Then delpoy it in JBOSS server.How much should we have to pay to oracle corp regarding this.
Help pls
Aniesh U.K

(note that for the same price you can get the full
Oracle Application Server - J2EE edition with ADF and

ADF Faces or APEX for a lightweight browser-based front end.

I'm tasked with prototyping a lightweight browser based front end to display consolidated customer information. It needs to be callable from half a dozen disparate and mostly non-Oracle applications. The idea is that each application will have a button that can kick off a browser session to see a data-warehouse sourced view of a customer. Forms10g (where my experience lies) seems too resource heavy for the constant opening/closing of this little application but APEX looks like a good fit with not too steep a learning curve and the guys on the forum thuoght it was well suited. ADF Faces seems to have a steep learning curve given that I don't have any Java experience but a small view-only app like this might be a good place to gain experience useful for more complex apps. My question is whether ADF Faces is a goot fit for this sort of task. If anyone has used ADF Faces and APEX I'd be very grateful for their thoughts.

Thanks for those pointers Grant.
Just a couple of further questions. As a company we're stuck on Internet Explorer 5.5 for another 18 months or so (>5,000desktops!). Does that exclude ADF Faces as an option given the prune-faced geriatric nature of the browser we're using (we're also on NT4.0 :-) Also, they're likely to be in and out of this screen like a fiddler's elbow and I'm wondering if the start-up effort using ADF Faces is likely to be significantly more resource intensive than an APEX equivalent.
My background is Oracle*Forms (since 2.0) and it would be nice to make a start on a technology that could be used in place of Forms in more complex apps - I just need to be able to justify the likely increased costs to people focused predominantly on this project's costs.

ADF Faces tooltip text for datatable's columns impossible?

Hi,
How can I show tooltip text for column in datatable? ShortDesc property for column is ignored.
thanks,
Branislav

Hi Brano,
this is a small workaround:
<af:table rows="5">
    <af:column>
      <f:facet name="header">
        <af:panelGroup layout="vertical">
          <af:outputText value="Ako ide ADF?"/>
          <af:outputText value="Small blue tooltip"
                                inlineStyle="font-size: 70%; color: blue"/>
        </af:panelGroup>

    </af:column>
</af:table>Rado

ADF Faces - Change style for menuTab component

How to change color for menuTab components (selected and enabled)?
I do not want to create new style, all I need is just change some colors and fonts for default oracle style.
I was able to change color for table, overridinf some styles in my css-file, but overriding
<af_menuTabs_selected> and <af_menuTabs_enabled> did not work, because on generated html-page menuTab components do not use any styles. Is there any workaround to change color of that component?
Thanks.

public String commandButton_action() {
ot_msg.setValue("Hello");
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(ot_msg);
The code above works fine but I nead also, in the method, to generate a excel file with JXLS librairie.
The file can takes a long time to download and thus I want to change the value of outputText while the file is generating and not after.
How can I do that ?
Thanks

ADF BC and ADF Faces deployment question

Hi all,
In my previous web project, the middle layer was packaged into a .ear file and deployed onto a sever that had jboss running. My client layer was deployed on a seperate server running tomcat. My question is how do I accomplish this seperation with BC and ADF Faces in terms of deployment?
Thanks.
Z

Let me be a bit more specific.
Here is the tree view of my application workspace:
-My Application
  -Model
    -Application Sources
      -org
      -org.myorg
      -org.myorg.model
      -org.myorg.model.entity
      -org.myorg.model.association
  -View
    -Application Sources
    -Web Content
Can I deploy only the model or middle layer on server A running oc4j and deploy the view layer on server B also running oc4j?
Thanks.

Can't find Javadoc for ADF Faces components

I have tried to locate javadoc documentation for ADF Faces Java classes, but am not able to find anything. For example, the ADF Faces tag documentation for af:convertNumber has the following comment:
"Further more information see javadoc for oracle.adf.view.faces.converter.NumberConverter"
But I cannot find this javadoc anywhere on the OTN documentation site.

Pls Check this link

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.

How to create a graph in ADF Faces

Hi there,
I am working with ADF using JDeveloper 10.1.3 with Business Components (BC) and ADF Faces.
I am trying to create a graph base on a View object, but I can't see any options on the Data Control Palette.
Is there a graph wizard component for ADF Faces?
Thanks for any help.
Jim

Thanks Frank.
A graph was created successfully using the following steps:
1. using BIGraphDef1.xml (with Oracle BI Graph library)
2. add to pageDef.xml
<iterator id="EmployeesView1Iterator" RangeSize="10" Binds="EmployeesView1"
DataControl="AppModuleDataControl"/>
<graph id="pageGraphid"
IterBinding="EmployeesView1Iterator"
ControlClass="oracle.dss.graph.Graph" SeriesLabel="EmployeeId"
GraphPropertiesFileName="view.BIGraphDef1"
SeriesType="SINGLE_SERIES">
<AttrNames>
<Item Value="Salary"/>
</AttrNames>
</graph>
3. add to .jspx (with Graph 1.0 as library )
<h:form>
<af:panelGroup>
<f:verbatim>
<graph:Graph imageHeight="300" imageWidth="500" data="${bindings.pageGraphid}"/>
</f:verbatim>
</af:panelGroup>
</h:form>
4. add to web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>GraphGeneratorServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>oracle.jbo.html.jsp.graph.GraphGeneratorServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>GraphGeneratorServlet</servlet-name>

ADF Faces Components Demo - Illegal Characters error

Hi ,
I downloaded the ADF Faces Components Demo for version 11.1.2.3.0 from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/downloads/index.html . I tried following instructions :ADF Faces Components Demo Install Instructions
This is getting downloaded as rcf-dvt-demo.zip. I renamed it to rcf-dvt-demo.war.
Then I tried to create a project from this war... and got following error :
The project file "C:\rcf-dvt-demo.war!\Project.jpr" is not valid. The file name may contain illegal characters, it may be too long, or permissions for this file or one of it's parent directories may be restricted.
Please help . Am i downloading from correct location and following the correct instructions.
Thanks,
Rajdeep

Good Catch Timo ... Lot of thanks.
Still I will put down the silly mistake of overlooking the wizard.
I was doing the correct thing - "create a new application and inside this application workspace you add a new 'project from war'." But mistake was .. First step of wizard it is project name and path,, and then second step is war location... and in hurry I was giving the project name and war location in first step.
Thanks,
Rajdeep

ADF Faces with ADF BC

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to map a <af:table> to an ADF Business Component. I can retrieve the records and I can also navigate doing Next and Previous, but I cannot do a Delete of a record. Do you know if there's any kind of "work arround" to use ADF Faces with ADF BC to do a delete or update, etc.?
Here is the code, you can notice the: <af:tableSelectOne> tag to put the radio buttons colums to select which one to delete, and you can also notice the action="#{row.markForDeletion}" for the commandbutton to perform the delete.
Jonas Jacobi wrote in his web blog on August 16 that he was going to post some samples for this "work arround" but I think he never posted them.
Here is the code:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>

Thanks,
Pablo (sorry for the long post)

Thank you Gabrielle. At least now I have an excuse to tell my boss why I can't get it to work.
Any idea when it may be available? Would it be a better idea to implement the table in plain vanilla JSF, and when ADF Faces is ready for ADF BC then do the migration?
Are there any workarround to this problem?
Thank you for your time,
Pablo

ADF Faces: is mixing JSF RI and ADF Faces tags supported?

Hi,
I'm looking at ADF Faces as a future possibility for our application that is currently based on JSF RI.
When looking at the ADF Faces demo it strikes me that all pages are almost completely built up from ADF Faces tags.
For instance
af:form
af:commandButton
af:inputText
are used instead of the equivalent core jsf tags f:form, f:commandButton and f:inputText
I'm wondering if this is mandatory if we would like to use some ADF Faces components mixed within our existing application.
In other words: are ADF Faces tags supported in the environment of conventional JSF tags? And mixing ADF Faces JSF components with JSF components by other vendors?
Another thing that strikes me is that pages are constructed using ADF Faces tags for any and all markup content.
I guess this is meant to support several different clients (normal browser applications, mobile clients, voice activation over telephone) using different renderers.
In my experience abstracting markup this way inherently means loss of control over the exact markup that is sent to the client. This is not acceptable for all projects and customers.
Is embedding ADF Faces tags within template HTML, within f:verbatim tags or not, supported?
Regards,
Joost de Vries

You absolutely can mix JSF RI and ADF Faces tags. This is very much supported! You can swap in <h:form> and <h:commandButton> and <h:inputText>. Our versions support some features that the JSF tags do not, as described in our release notes.
Your point about using tags to produce all markup is a very cogent one. For some projects, absolute control over HTML will be a necessary requirement, so we do support that style of development. But we believe strongly that the future does not lie in constant handcoding of HTML, but instead in building more powerful, flexible, and reusable components and assembling those into pages. This was one of the themes of a talk I gave with two coworkers at this past JavaOne.

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

ADF Faces - Look & Feel

Hi,
Is there a way to keep the RI's look & feel
for certain components such as command button?
Thanks

In general, skinning APIs are being worked on for coming releases of ADF Faces. However, for now, you could simply just use <h:commandButton> instead of <af:commandButton>.
