ADF : Non Database Block Fields Validation

How should I add validation to "Non Database Block Fields"?
My question is based on this example:
see http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2004/09/23/notYetDocumentedAdfSampleApplications.html
"24. Passing User-Entered Data in "Non Database Block Fields" to Stored Procedure/Function"
http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/tips/muench/stprocnondbblock/PassUserEnteredValuesToStoredProc.zip
Should I add the validation to an Entity Object (where no fields are 'linked' to database fields) on which I base the "NonDBBlock" View Object?
If this is "Entity Object abuse" (because no database involved, only validation), what would be a better approach?
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

hi Steve
If all the attributes in my Entity Object are marked as not persistent, it makes sense this Entity Object doesn't "take part" in a transaction.
I would like to avoid the message box about Commit or Rollback when closing my Frame, because this use case isn't transaction related in any way.
It seems to work if I override the getPostState() method like this:
public byte getPostState()
     return EntityImpl.STATUS_UNMODIFIED;
question :
Are there any side effects to this approach or is there another way to mark an Entity Object as "not in any transaction"?
thanks
Jan

  • Date query in non database block

    Hi Experts
    I am doing query in a database via a non data base block.The field in which i want to query is join(DD-MON-YYYY hh24:MI:SS) and my non database block is join.
    I want that i shall give the date in the join field like DD-MON-YYYY format and the related datafrom the database will come out.
    So In the KEY-EXEQRY i have written
    IF :system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' THEN
    IF :EMP.JOIN_DATE is not null then
    TRUNC(:EMP.JOIN_DATE):=to_date(:EMP.JOIN,'DD-MON-YYYY');
    END IF;
    END IF;
    EXECUTE_QUERY;
    It is showing compilation error.
    The construct is not allowed as the origin of an assignment
    Can you please tell me what is wrong with it.
    detail of join is -
    data type -char
    Regards
    Rajat

    To restrict a query to something based on a non-database-block you need a different approach:
    1. Do nothing in the KEX-EXEQRY-trigger
    2. Create a PRE-QUERY-trigger with the following logic:
    IF :CTRL.JOIN_DATE is not null then
      SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('EMP', ONETIME_WHERE, 'TRUNC(JOIN_DATE)=TRUNC(:CTRL.JOIN_DATE)');
    END IF;I assumed the following:
    - CTRL is the name of your non-database-block and EMP is your database-block
    - There is an item JOIN_DATE of datatype DATE in your CTRL-block
    - There is a database-column named JOIN_DATE in yourt EMP-table.
    - You are using Forms 10g, if not use DEFAULT_WHERE instead of ONETIME_WHERE
    If one of these is not TRUE, adjust the code i provided to match your object-names.

  • HOW TO CREATE MULTIPLE RECORDS IN A NONE DATABASE BLOCK?

    I have a Form where I have a none database block with unbound items. The block
    has 10 records. In the when-new-block instance I run a query by which I would
    like to fill up the block with data. The code fragment looks like the
    following:
    begin
    declare
    tmp_curr_rec_id number;
    begin
    -- a hibak kiolvasasa
    for c_hibak in ( select h.*, h.rowid
    from hibak h
    where 1=1 -- WF - Ide kerul a szurofeltetel
    order by bejelentes_datum asc
    ) loop
    -- bemasoljuk az adatokat az unbound item-ekbe
    :mc_adat.ub_azonosito := c_hibak.azonosito;
    :mc_adat.ub_verzio_letrehozas_datum :=
    c_hibak.verzio_letrehozas_datum;
    :mc_adat.ub_bejelento := c_hibak.bejelento;
    :mc_adat.ub_bejelentes_datum := c_hibak.bejelentes_datum;
    :mc_adat.ub_wf_verzio_csomopont :=
    c_hibak.wf_verzio_csomopont;
    :mc_adat.ub_wf_utolso_esemeny_szoveg :=
    c_hibak.wf_utolso_esemeny_szoveg;
    :mc_adat.ub_hiba_leiras := c_hibak.hiba_leiras;
    :mc_adat.ub_hiba_hely := c_hibak.hiba_hely;
    :mc_adat.ub_rekord_jelleg := 'H';
    :mc_adat.ub_rowid := c_hibak.rowid;
    -- beallitjuk a rekordot-ot olyanra, mintha semmi nem valtozott
    volna
    -- nem szeretnenk a form bezaraskor mindenfele figyelmezteteseket
    -- olvasni a kepernyon
    tmp_curr_rec_id := get_block_property( :system.current_block,
    current_record );
    set_record_property( tmp_curr_rec_id, :system.current_block,
    status, new_status );
    create_record;
    end loop;
    end;
    end;
    The block's update allowed, insert allowed, delete allowed property is set to
    true.
    The result of the code above is that only the last record fetched shows up in
    the block. The problem is - as I found out - is that aech record is fetched,
    the values are copied to the block items, but the create_record built-in
    command would not move the cursor to the next row.
    Can some one please help me with this?
    TIA,
    Tamas Szecsy

    The problem was with the following code segment:
    tmp_curr_rec_id := get_block_property( :system.current_block, current_record );
    set_record_property( tmp_curr_rec_id, :system.current_block, status, new_status );
    After omitting these two lines, the code worked properly.
    Thansk for all whoe replied.

  • Problem in Execute query on non-database block and database block together

    Hi All,
    In my form,i have
    1. First block is Non-database block with one non-database item.
    2. Second and third blocks are database blocks.
    Now the problem is that i want to perform execute-query for all the blocks.
    If the cursor is on the non-database item of 1st block and i clicks on the "Enter-query" then i am getting message " This function can not be performed here".
    If i click on the item of the database block and then clicks on the "Enter-query" and then "execute-query" it's working fine.
    But i don't want to do in this way.
    My cursor will be on the First block only and then it should perform execute-query.
    I am using this non-database item to copy value of this item to the item of the database block item.
    I think i make you understand about my problem.
    I am using forms 10g on Window xp.
    Please help me.

    Hi!
    Simply create a enter-query trigger on the non-database-block:
    begin
    go_block ( 'database_block' );
    enter_query;
    end;If your search criteria is in the non-database-item in the first block,
    you actually do not need the enter_query build-in.
    Just create a execute-query trigger on the first block like:
    begin
    go_block ( 'database_block' );
    execute_query;
    go_item ( :System.trigger_item );
    end;And in a pre-query trigger on the database-block copy the
    value of your seach item into the item you want to search for.

  • Ordering a non-database block....

    Hi ,
    Is it possible to order and how a non-database block according to user's willing...????
    Thanks , a lot
    Simon

    That will work in sql*plus but to use it in a program you'll need to parameterise the Order By clause. That's why I wrote mine the way I did. It will work in sql*plus if you enter 'A' and 'B' (including the quotes) and it will work in a program if you replace the placeholders with variables.

  • Enter_query for non-database block

    Hi there,
    I have a non-database block. When I click on enter query button from toolbar, i get"this function cannot be performed here' error. I want to bring up records based on certain math calculations. I was planning to write a pre-query trigger and add those to pre-query trigger. Will it work since it is a non-database block? Or should i create a button on form to get records populated?
    Thanks

    You won't be able to use the Query-Process-triggers PRE-QUERY and POST-QUERY on a non-database-block.
    But... If you want to "simulate" the behaviour of querying, you can use the KEY-EXEQRY-trigger and put your logic there. This should also work with the standard forms-menus. To supress the error-message on entering query-mode you should additionally write as KEY-ENTQRY-trigger with code NULL;

    DECLARE
    BEGIN
         FOR i IN (SELECT col1, col2 FROM Table) LOOP
                :block.item1 := i.col1;
                :block.item2 := i.col2;

  • Forms - query into non database Block

    This is the data in the table. I am querying into a non database block.Have two lines of data
    1. 1062|Sanitation and Cleaning|N|1025
    2. 1063|Eyewash|N|1025
    go_block('qc_procedures');
    first_record;
    loop
    Open C3;
    Fetch C3 into :qc_procedures.procedure_id,
    :qc_procedures.procedure_desc,
    :qc_procedures.optional,
    :qc_procedures.procedure_type_id;
    Exit when :system.last_record = 'TRUE';
    next_record;
    Close C3;
    End loop;
    I am only able to get the first line of data

    I'm not quite sure if i understand your problem.
    First, you didn't post the definition of your cursor C3.
    Second, if you want to populate the block using the cursor, you should loop over the cursor and not over the block, something like
    Open C3;
    first_record;
    loop
      Fetch C3 into :qc_procedures.procedure_id,
      :qc_procedures.procedure_desc,
      :qc_procedures.optional,
      :qc_procedures.procedure_type_id;
      Exit when C3%NOTFOUND;
      next_record;
    Close C3;Third, it would be much easier to base your block on a table or on your query (using FROM-clause-query), then there would be no need for any code.

  • Query a database block based on a non-database block

    hi everybody
    can anybody help me as how to query a database block based on a non-database block, without a master-detail relationship?
    i have a block : date_input which contains a non-database item: start_date
    another database block (event_block)containing details of an event
    i have to input a date in the start_date and query the event_block
    in wich trigger should i insert the code?
    thanks

    If you are trying to query your database block (event_block) using the value from start_date in your non-database block, then you can set the Where clause in the database block using:
    SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY ('event_block', DEFAULT_WHERE, 'your where clause that includes start_date');
    Place this statement in a trigger that is executed prior to the block being queried.

  • Non database block

    i have a non data base datablock to view the date and the use(i ssign them at the when new form instance trigger),but the problem that if i make clear all for the form the date and the user will be cleared,so i write the code at when new block instence trigger for the first navigetable data block it works but i think that it is no effient any suggestion???

    All our forms have both a control block with basic data (form-name, lookup keys), and a standard clear-all procedure, Whenever user presses the key-clrfrm key, or whenever we re-display all blocks on the form, we first call the U01_Clear_Screen procedure.
    U01_Clear_SCreen saves all values in the fields we don't want cleared on the control block into pl/sql variables, then does a:      CLEAR_FORM(NO_VALIDATE,FULL_ROLLBACK);It then replaces the saved values into the control-block items.
    The Clear_Screen procedure is common to every form, and includes more code if necessary if there are other things that need to be saved/replaced when the screen is cleared.

    Creating a view, and querying that into a database block is an excellent solution.
    To use the non-database block:
    You're missing the all-important Next_Record; command.
    <pre> Begin
    Go_block('X'); -- block X is the non-database block
    Clear_Block(No_Validate);
    open cursor X1;
    loop
    If :System.Record_status != 'NEW' then
    Next_Record;
    End if;
    fetch X1 into :a1,:b1,:c1,:d1,:e1,:f1;
    Exit when X1%NOTFOUND;
    end loop;
    close X1;
    end;</pre>

  • Set the value of a non database field in forms

    hai friends ,
    Have been struggling a lot with the problem now . Could anyone suggest me how to go about it.
    I want to set the value of a field in a form . I know the function set_value and set_value_as_(data type ) does the work . But then is there any constraint on the position where it is called.
    My requirement is on querying a form the data from the tables mut be populated( which the portal handles) and I want to populate the non database bound fields with certain values.
    Could any one help me out with this ..
    null

    I need to set value to one of the object attributes if that attribute is blank.This is some kind of a default value that you want, then? If so then just take care of that when you output it. Use <c:if>, and if the attribute is blank then output the default value, otherwise output the attribute.
    Or have the servlet that created that request attribute take care of that requirement.

  • Using javascript to set non database values

    I finally figured out how to set the values of a non database form field using Javascript. The only problem is, I want this
    field to be a display only field, and the value does not get set if I make the field non updateable on the form. Can
    somebody please help me!! This is urgent.

    Stan,
    One way to do this is to call the doSubmit() function and create a page branch to handle your request. This way you can use apex validations and other goodies if your requirements change. Also this will save the state of your items on the page you are leaving.
    Edit
    I forgot to mention that you can pass a string parameter to the doSubmit function. The parameter will be the request sent to apex. For instance you could use doSubmit('DO_SOMETHING') and you can have a page branch which will fire if the request is equal to DO_SOMETHING.
