ADF Faces w/ADF BC: Bug(?) w/null values in drop down list in find mode

Using JDev 10.1.3.0.4.
I have a page that shows a single record. The user can toggle between regular and Find mode to enter query by example criteria.
One of the fields has been bound to a dynamic list. The "No Selection" Item in the List Binding Editor is set to "Selection Required".
When editing a record, this list does not have an empty item. When the user enters find mode, the list has an empty item in the list - which makes sense since the user might not want to search on a value in that particular field.
However, if the user enters find mode, selects an item from the list, executes the query (Execute action), and enters find mode again then the empty item no longer shows up in the list. Is this a bug?
(Note - there is an easy workaround - if you delete and create in find mode, then the new critieria record has the list fixed with an empty item in it.)

Master detail form - drop down list in detail (ADF)

Hi,
Been racking our brains for a few days/weeks about this one, and would be grateful for any pointers why this does not work.
We have developed an in-house application for dealing with risk and chemical assessments.
The process we have adopted allows users to create an assessment first then they are taken to another form where they are then able to add risk factors/ or chemicals relating to the assessment. The intention is to present the user with the ability to select from a drop down list which contains the chemical names.
We have been going through the forums and have tried all the examples we can find (all the examples work on our system), but when we try to adapt them to our approach they create an error indicating that they cannot find the values in the entity object.
Has anyone else come across the same problem or is it that the ADF is not suited to dealing with the master/detail approach and drop down menus.
The drop down lists are in an ADF table.
Thanks in advance
Andrew

Hi Kuba,
Thanks for the pointer, I think we tried that one early on. For the time being we have opted for using a selectInputText box, and that appears to be working. Well at least it has got us past the deadline for yesterday, now onto the next deadline.
Thanks again!
Andrew

BUG: Sorting drop-down lists from the field tab when using "specify item values"

Hi all,
I've finished creating my form now, but I came across this whilst writing up my documentation for maintenance tasks.
This occurs when adding new values to a drop-down list that has the "Specify item values" checkbox in the binding tab checked.
When I then try to sort my list using the built in sort buttons, it will sort the items, but the list of specified values in the binding tab does not sort reorder to stay with the original items in the list. This is hapenning when I sort from the Object > Field tab. If I sort in the Object > Binding tab then the sort will include the specified values.
For example:
A    5
C    2
D    9
Add a new value to get:
A    5
C    2
D    9
B    10
Sort the list using the button:
A    5
B    2
C    9
D    10
But it should be:
A     5
B     10
C     2
D     9

I was able to duplicate this problem and it looks like a possible bug. I've submitted it to support.

Adding a *Not* Null Entry to a Data-Bound Drop Down List

How do I add a not null entry to a data-bound drop down list? I am supposed to have something like this:
<html:select property="Korisnik1" >
<html:option value="0000">
(Not null value)
</html:option>
<html:option value="-1">
(Null value)
</html:option>
<html:optionsCollection label="prompt" value="index" property="Korisnik1.displayData" />
</html:select >
In case the value 0000 is marked the value should be inserted in to the database. The code above displays the value but insert doesn't work.

I think that in this case that article is not what's required Shay as the question related to a "No Null" entry. The answer would be to add it into the list that is used to populate the list in the first place - generally by adding a "union select from dual" to the query that generates the list values.

Disable ADF Client and Server side validation during drop down changes

In my ADF Faces there is PanelFormLayout containing dropdown with country code value. Changing the dropdown value should change the layout to different country.
If the data is proper in the form the Layout changes perfectly but if the data is not proper it gives client validation & the layout doesn't get changed.
I want to disable the client/server side validation while changing the dropdown.

Hi Just framing the Question once again -
In my ADF Faces there is PanelFormLayout containing dropdown with country code value. Changing the dropdown value should change the layout to different country.
If the data is proper in the form, the Layout changes perfectly but if the data is not proper it gives client validation & the layout doesn't get changed.
I want to disable the client side validation just for that page or panelformLayout
Issue -
If the data is incorrect on the form, user is able to change the countrycode from the dropdown but the layout doesn't changes because client validation is stopping.
Below is the code -
1) Changing the drop down cause the switcher to call the code - defaultFacet="#{backingBeanScope.AddressComp.displayType}" which changes the layout.
2) But if the data is not correct the country value is getting change with the new Country but the Layout is unable to get change. ADF start showing client validation.

Hide Null Value in Drill Down KPI

Dear Sir,
I have Problem : i want to Hide the Null Value in SSM KPI. This is the link picture ( http://tinypic.com/r/aak9r6/5 ).
Thanks for your answer.

Por,
Can't remember if you are on 7.5 or 10. On 7.5 , go to Administrator interface Scorecards > Set Scorecard Defaults > select the Context from the picklist and in the middle of the page KPIs - Set Missing or Null Data. The default is Display KPI, hide indicators, but you can also choose Hide KPI.
In SSM 10 this same function is under Context Management > Scorecard Defaults. Contexts are listed in box instead of picklist.

Selection Screen Bug :: Drop Down List.

Hi
I have created the following ABAP Report. I am new at this and I have just hit an issue. I have two drop down boxes linked to transactions. Now when I select a report from Drop Down 1 and click it it goes to the transaction. Now if I also have a selection in Drop Down 2 it actually runs both transactions.
How can i fix this?
Thanks

Is there a bug in the score layout drop-down?

I have a project with 6 software instrument tracks, each track is one region. When I select all tracks and try using the score editors drop down Layout option"create score from selection" I never get the top most track in the score.. I have tried creating a new score set but it still leaves the top track out of the score. There are no hidden or muted regions and no MIDI data tracks. I am still in OS10.5.8 because I am watching other forums to see if pro users are moving up and all I see are big problems with 10.6, I may do what they are doing and change my MBP to 10.6 then 10.7 and see what works, but my main work is done on the iMac so I need to figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This happens also when I choose "All Instruments" score set-shouldn't that default show all the tracks?

Thanks christiano and Jim, but that causes my 9.1.1 to change the position, length and pitch of 90% of the regions' notes. I have been repeating the same copy paste commands for 4 hours and now they seem slowly to begin to work[Jobs has left the building]. I did try before my original post the option dragging in the Arrange but as I wrote it causes too many mistakes, unless there are only a simple repeated series of a single note-THEN it decides to work.
Any other ideas would be interesting but Apple should get the copy paste in the score going too.

ADF Databound Drop Down causes "invalid for working set view object"

I've created a drop-down list per the instructions laid out in the "Creating a Databound Drop Down List in Oracle JDeveloper 10g" HowTo ( http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/tips/mills/databound_lists.html ). The list works fine when editing an existing row, but I get the following error when working with a newly created row:
JBO-25048: Operation getAllRowsInRange is invalid for a working set view object.
The drop-down list actually gets populated correctly despite the error. The error only occurs the first time I access the detail page that uses the list. I'm guessing that this may have something to do with the fact that the row value associated with with list is null.
Any ideas on how to workaround this one? Thanks.

Thanks Duncan.
The ViewObject that is bound to the list is only used for the purposes of the list so there shouldn't be any problem with its state being altered elsewhere. Not sure if that's what you mean by collisions or not...
I tried adding a "null/empty" value to the list but the results are the same.
What is meant by "working set view object"? What other types of ViewObject are there? How are they different and how does someone know which operations are valid/invalid?

Component binding return null value

I'm migrating a JSF 1.2 application to JSF 2.1, specificly I'm currently using mojorra 2.1.24.
The application consists of request scoped beans, and in order to pass data between requests, it embeds the data inside UI components.
The following behaviour works well with JSF 1.2, but not with JSF 2.1.
The application has the following configuration:
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
<param-value>client</param-value>
</context-param>
The page contains the following snippet:
<h:form prependId="false">
     <h:inputHidden binding="#{bean.inputHidden}" />
     <h:panelGroup rendered="#{bean.rendered}">
      <h:commandLink value="onAction" action="#{bean.onAction}" />
     </h:panelGroup>
</h:form>
The bean is the following:
@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
public class Bean {
private UIInput inputHidden;
private AItem item;
public setInputHidden(UIInput inputHidden){
    this.inputHidden = inputHidden;
    if(item != null){ this.inputHidden.setValue(item); }
public AItem getItem(){
    return (AItem) getInputHidden().getValue();
// other getter/setter
public String onNavToPage(AItem item){ this.item = item; return "page"; }
public String onAction(){ //... do something return ""; }
public boolean isRendered(){ return getProcessItem() != null; }
The steps are the following:
to navigate to page page the method bean.onNavToPage is invoked from within another page;
upon page rendering the bean.item is set as bean.inputHidden value;
after the page is diplayed, the command link is pressed.
At this point no command link is invoked, because the bean.inputHidden.getValue() returns null, and the command link is not processed.
I noticed that the inputHidden parameter passed to the setInputHidden method during restore view phase has, inputHidden.getValue() == null, no value has been saved previously in the view.
I would guess that something has changed in the component state management, but debugging the JSF code I didn't find what.
Debugging JSF code I found that the component state has been masked before the state has been saved in the view, so the ComponentStateHelper.saveState saves the deltaMap and not the defaultMap, where all the state has been put.
public Object saveState(FacesContext context) {
        if (context == null) {
            throw new NullPointerException();
        if(component.initialStateMarked()) {
            return saveMap(context, deltaMap);
        else {
            return saveMap(context, defaultMap);
is this a bug?
If not, how can I restore JSF 1.2 behaviuor and save the defaultMap?
Thanks in advance for the help.

so what can i do to insert a null value from a select list?
i gave up RTFM. because i found nothing (NULL) ?!?!

Parameter with Null values

Hi. I have a simple ssrs report with a parameter which is linked to a dataset. The parameter is a single selection dropdown list.
The records in the database are Cars, with a column for Car Color. My drop down list contains a distinct set of colors based on the existing records.
However - some Cars do not have a color set, they are Null. How do I configure my report to show a drop down list of colors and a Null/Not set option which would return records which have a Car Colour of Null?
Thanks

Make the query for parameter as
SELECT 'Not Set' AS value,'Not Set' AS Label,0 AS Ord
UNION ALL
SELECT CarColor,CarColor,1
FROM carTable
ORDER BY Ord
Then use value as value of parameter and Label for prompt.
In the query behind for dataset used by report make where condition like
WHERE COALESCE(CarColor,'Not Set') = @ParameterName
AND ...
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

               } myRow is the arrayList i am adding the cells of the excel file to. I have checked for blank spaces in my coding so please help with how to check for the black spaces that has been added to my arraylist.
I have tried checking by looping through the ArrayList and then checking for null values like this
if(myRow.get(i)!=null)
// do something
// i have tried this also
if(myRow.get(i)!="")
//do something

From your post I see you are using a 3rd party package to access the Excel SpreadSheets, you will have to look in your API for you 3rd party package and see if there is a method that will identify a blank row, if there is and it does not work, then you have to take that problem up with them. I know this is a pain, but it is the price we pay for 3rd party object use.
In the mean time, you can make a workaround by checking every column in your row and seeing if it is null, or perhaps even better: check and see if the trimmed value of each cell has a lenth of 0.
