ADF: Parent Child Window Popup

Hi All,
I am having a requirement in which, I am trying to create Parent Child window in ADF. I will give some information in the Parent form and there will be a button which will popup a child window and I will enter some information in a child window and submit, it should come to parent page without displaying the details entered in the child window and once I click the submit button in the Parent window, both the Parent and Child window Detaiils should get saved to the database. I am trying to use ADF or ADF BC.
Please provide me the steps that need to be followed.
Thanks.

This is a common use case. You question on the other hand shows that you not really tried the figure our the answers yourself.
It's too much you ask us to do your work.
First you should think which technology (swing or faces) you want to use. Then you should read up some of the documents (i.e. the Fusion Order Demo, or any other sample or cue card) to get some knowledge of the framework.
I you have a problem then, come back and mention the jdev Version you are using.

Parent child window functionality using CFM

In .cfm page I am trying to implement the following
functionality
I got a parent window contains a button.
On button click a child window should get open.
This child Window should get embed in that parent window
(like MDI application)
1)i.e While minimizing the parent window this child window
should also get minimized
2)While closing the parent window this child window should
also get closed
3) We should also be able to close the child window alone.
4) If you double click on the title bar of the child window
it should get maximized
5) Again double click on the title bar of the child window it
should get minimized.
I tried with <embed> tag but it seems its for audio ,
flash kind files.
If we can use <embed> tag means whats should be the
value of the "Type" attribute.
waiting for your valuable information

Window handlers and controls are generally a function of the
browser and not really manipulatable using ColdFusion, as it runs
on server-side only, not client-side. JavaScript would be more the
thing to play with in this regard, although I don't think there is
an "onClose" event handler.
HOWEVER!
All browsers have a security feature that prevents pop-up
child windows from "hijacking" their parents window behaviors,
including resizing, moving, changing the toolbars, closing, etc.
This security feature cannot be bypassed, and is an integral
hard-coded aspect of all modern browsers. I suspect that what you
are looking to do may be impossible due to this one fact, unless
someone knows a bypass.

How to pass a data from child window to parent window

Hi,
I have a jsp page with two hidden fields and a button, On clicking the button a popup will come out. There are two combobox in the popup and a search button. After putting a value in the comboboxes,if I click the search button, I need the datas of the combobox to pass to the parent's hidden fields then I need to do a data base search with that values of hidden fields and display the result in the parent page.
I could I solve this problem, Please help, Its urgent.
Thanks and Regards
Rajib Sharma

I think that you can use the JavaScipt as follow to pass a data from child window to parent window
<HEAD>
<script>
function passData(){
opener.form1.test1.value=form2.test2.value; //pass the value of test2 to the parent's test1
window.close();
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form name=form2>
<input name=test2 type=text>
<input type=button onclick="passData()" value=CLOSE>
</form>
</BODY>

Popup not communicating with parent/opener window

I use an eCommerce system that when we are entering an item, a popup window will come up, asking us to choose the product. When I click the button that is supposed to link back to the parent/opener page with that product included, it does not link back and does not respond at all. Why is this a problem ONLY in Firefox? I have all the latest updated plug-ins (besides Google Earth and Yahoo! plug-ins). I even disabled pop-ups thinking that would help (not so much).

Let's check something. In the opener (original tab), press Ctrl+Shift+k to open the Web Console. Paste the following line of code and press Enter:
<br>alert(typeof self.iform);
If you get something other than "undefined" then there appears to be a problem with the child window accessing the object in the opener. If you get "undefined", then the object reference is not valid in Firefox regardless of which window the code is in.

Data transfer B/W parent windonw and child window with out java script

hi ,
i am using h:outputLink Tag to open child window , i am unable to pass parent window text box value to child window with out java script , Here i am using two different backing beans for parent and child windows . Plz help me .

Hi -- I pass details between pages regularly. The following has worked for me:
ApplicationFactory factory = (ApplicationFactory) FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.APPLICATION_FACTORY);
ValueBinding binding = factory.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{beanName}");
BeanName beanProperty = (BeanName) binding.getValue(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());
... then set the you can set the values. Can't recall if I need to use SaveStates for the items. Probably if you use request scope beans.

Accessing variables from Child window from the parent window

Hi All,
I am in the process of integration of payment gateway, here I am opening payment gateway page as a new window, and after payment is done then I need access one variable which is hidden variable ...any ideas

Have a hidden field/js variable in the parent page. Add a Javascript function in parent page which would take a value as parameter and set in the parent page hidden field/js variable. In the child window, you can invoke the method from script block as window.opener.setValue(document.getElementById('CHILD_WINDOW_HIDDEN_FIELD_ID').value)
For Javascript related questions, please visit Javascript forums.

Wrong File(parent, child) behaviour on Windows when child starts with one s

I've sent following problem report:
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
On Windows when relative path starts from one slash it should be resolved from current disk (not current directory). This behaviour should be preserved for Files constructed with constructor File(parent, child). So results of run "System.out.println(new File(dir, relPath).getAbsolutePath())" and "System.out.println(new File(relPath).getAbsolutePath())" should be identical when running program from directory "dir".
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile and run from directory C:\temp\relpath following code:
import java.io.*;
public class Main {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
          System.out.println(new File("C:\\temp\\relpath", "\\temp\\relpath\\Main.java").getAbsolutePath());
          System.out.println(new File("\\temp\\relpath\\Main.java").getAbsolutePath());
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
C:\temp\relpath>java Main
C:\temp\relpath\\Main.java
C:\temp\relpath\Main.java
ACTUAL -
C:\temp\relpath>java Main
C:\temp\relpath\temp\relpath\Main.java
C:\temp\relpath\Main.java
The answer was:
I have been analyzing your problem and it is not a bug but the intended behavior of the API.
The File(File,String) constructor includes this in the specification:
"If the |child| pathname string is absolute then it is converted into a relative pathname in a system-dependent way."
In the example provided here, the child path is absolute so it is converted into a relative path. This is the intended behavior.
My comments:
First, child pathname is not absolute. Even so, I don't understand why this guy contend that this behavior is correct.
Please comment this!

Session expiration issue with parent and child window

Hi,
We have two applications (App1 - Implemented using JSF, Spring and Hibernate and App2 -Implemented using Spring MVC, Spring JDBC).
I have implemented 'Test Access Content' functionality in App1.
First admin user (Role- Manager) needs to login to App1
As part of 'Test Access Content' functionality, he enters URL with encrypted key and click 'Test Access' button.
It opens new window (implemented using java script - window.open) and hits spring controller of App2.
In spring controller of App2, I am decrypting the key to get user details. After that i am setting user details in session, constructing final URL to display actual content.
Problem is parent window maintains session till child window renders response. Once child window renders response, parent window loosing session.
So, if i click any button in parent window after child window renders response, it displays login page as there is no session for parent window.
Please note that App1 and App2 are sharing same domain. only context paths are different for both apps (app1 and app2).
Any suggestions on this issue are much appreciated. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hi,
When you open a child window from parent window then you can access child data in the parent window through javascript.
We have a main web page. There are quite many links on it from which >user can open new web pages but the data is saved when the submit >button on the main page is clicked. Also data that user entered on the >other sub pages is not displayed in the main window.
1 is this a case of parent and child window.case 1 When you are submitting the main page you need to run javascript function and get data from child windows and save that to database or session. next time when you are displaying the main window you need to query session or database to display the child window data in the main window.
Case 2> closing child window and you need data in the parent. This can be done in two ways.
1> When you are closing the child window populate some variables of the main window using javasript.
2> Save the values in the database or session and refresh the main window and extract data from database or session
Where should the data be saved that user enetered on the sub pages as the data is not shown in the main page - should it be stored in the session?It is design decision. You can store data in either session or database when you are closing the child window. But ifyou are saving the data on the main page then you can populate main page with child windows data using javascript. Save the data t database when main window data is saved. Depends on business requirements.
In short if you are saving child windows data in session or database then you need to refresh main screen to pull that data otherwise populate main screen using javascript.
I hope i answered your questions :) best of luck

How to make the parent window inactive when a child window is opened

hi everybody, i am chaitanya. i am working on a window based application. there are some action events in it. when an event occurs then a child frame is opened prompting the user to confirm for yes or no.
the problem i got is, when the child window is opened the parent window is also active. I dont want this to happen. please help me to fix this problem.
thank you all in advance, have a nice day.

Use a modal JDialog, or better still given the apps. requirement for input, a JOptionPane. The JOptionPane.showInputDialog() or JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog() methods seem well suited to the task.

Modal popup window refresh the parent (calling) window/view

I have a modal popup window that is adding detail records. When this window is closed via the Hide method in my controller I would like to refresh the parent (calling) window/view.
What is the best way to do this?
Regards,
Diane

Here's my process.....
2-windows & 3 views
Window 1 - Selection View and Detail View
Window 2 - Add View (used as a modal popup window called by a button click on the detail view)
Selection View has all the options for obtaining a list of data for the detail view. The detail view has an Add button. Component controller has the hide method and access to the other components that do the update/query methods. On the detail view the user can click Add and a popup modal window shows. User enters data and clicks either the add or cancel button. The Detail view needs to refresh to show the additional data that has been added by the modal window. There are calcuated values in the detail view from a supply function. This function is not running and the values are not changed.
What should be put in the hide method that will cause the detail view to obtain new data and supply the calculated values? If I was using the Add view as part of the same window as the detail/selection views I'd just put in a navigation link between the detail and add views and fire the plug. I like the idea of the popup window so I'd like to get this to work.
I put the wdContext.initialize() in the hide method - which yes - caused the detail view to run - however the context lost all the key values so I received a data not found. I then tried to initialize those nodes that did not contain the key values but the detail view did not display new values.
Thanks for any ideas.....Diane

Communicating between the parent and child windows in Struts

Hey,
I would like to know what is the best way to communicate between the child and parent windows on a struts based web application. For example i have a struts based jsp page. I call a child window from this page. On the child window i select few values and they have to be shown on the parent. What is the best way to achieve this in struts.
Thanks
in advance.
KM

The only way to do this without Javascript is to have the child window have a form and the form has a target defined as the name of the parent window (how to name it without using frames or having it open from another window, I'm not sure), and when you submit the form, it'll submit to the parent window/frame and you can process that form on the server and return the same parent page with the selected values.
Otherwise, you need Javascript to set form values to "window.opener" from the child window.
Either way, it's not really a Struts thing, technically.

Calling a Function in the Parent Window from the Child Window

QUESTION: How do I call a function resident in the parent
window from a child window?
BACKGROUND
I have a JavaScript function resident in the parent window
that reformats information obtained from the Date object and writes
the result to the parent window using the document.write( ) method.
I would like to call this function from the child window and have
it write to the child window instead. Is this possible? If not,
must I rewrite the entire function and nest it in the below code?
If so, what is the proper form of nesting?
CODE: The code that creates and fills the child window is
provided below. The highlighted area indicates where I would like
to enter the information from the function resident in the parent
window. I have tried every imaginable permutation of code that I
can imagine and nearly destroyed my parent document in the process.
I am very happy that I had a back-up copy!
function openCitationWindow() {
ciDow = window.open("", "", "width=450, height=175, top=300,
left=300");
ciDow.document.write("A proper way to cite a passage of text
on this page:<br /><br />Stegemann, R. A. 2000.
<cite>Imagine: Bridging a Historical Gap</cite>. " +
document.title + ". [<a href='" + location.href + "'
target='_blank'>online book</a>] <" + location.href
+ "> (");
MISSING CODE;
ciDow.document.write(").<br /><br /><input
type='button' value='Close Window' onclick='window.close()'>");
ciDow.focus();

Never mind - I was doing something very stupid and wasn't
calling the function as a method of a movie clip. I was simply
calling checkTarget(event) rather than
event.currentTarget.checkTarget(event); which seems to work.

Calling a function in child window from parent window

Hi,
How can I call a method in child window from parent window in adobe air using javascript. In the following example I need to call mytest() function in
child.html from parent.html file.
Thanks,
ASM
//parent.html
<HTML><HEAD>
<script>
var initOptions = new air.NativeWindowInitOptions();
initOptions.type = air.NativeWindowType.NORMAL;
initOptions.systemChrome = air.NativeWindowSystemChrome.STANDARD;
var bounds = new air.Rectangle(300, 300, 600, 500);
var html2 = air.HTMLLoader.createRootWindow(false, initOptions, false, bounds);
var urlReq2 = new air.URLRequest("child.html");
html2.load(urlReq2);
html2.stage.nativeWindow.activate();
html2.window.mytest(); //NOT WORKING
</script>
</HEAD><body></body></HTML>
// child.html
<HTML><HEAD>
<script>
function mytest()
air.trace("in child window");
</script>
</HEAD> <body></body></HTML>

I suspect your problem is that the child window hasn't been created by the time you call the function in the parent.Loading the content is an asynchronous processes -- AIR doesn't stop executing your code until the window has finished loading child.html. So, you will need to add an eventlistener to html2 and call the function from there:
html2.addEventListener( "complete", onChildLoaded );
function onChildLoaded( event )
html2.window.mytest();

How to parse parameter from child window to parent window in JSP

I have two JSP i.e. course1.jsp and course2.jsp. I would want to find out how I could parse the parameter/value from child window to the parent window when the child window get closed.
What I am trying to do is actually a file upload process. The child windows will open for user to upload the file, and when close, the file name will be parse into the parent form for database update. Is this something possible at all? or is there any other better approaches.
Thank you.
These are the two files:
--------course1.jsp ------------
Attach File <p>
<FORM name="courseForm" action="course2.jsp" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<TABLE cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=3 border=0 WIDTH=500>
<TR >
<TD>
<input type="text" NAME="f_file_name" size="30" VALUE="this value should be taken from child windows">
get file name
<p>
<INPUT class="buttons" TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" VALUE="Submit">
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</FORM>
---- course2.jsp -------
<%
String filename = "this is the string needs to go back to parent windows when I click on close";
%>
<p>
close

In course2.jsp, you have to write some javascript code to reload the parent window document to reload the document with an added parameter. But, instead of doing this, you can also do simple thing; in course2.jsp, you can reference course1.jsp controls via javascript object, "parent". On closing event of course2, you can write:
parent.courseForm.f_file_name.text = '<%=filename%>' ;
window.close() ;
But for this to work, you must open your course2.jsp document thru window.open() function instead of simple hyper link (as you did thru ).
So, modify the hyperlink line like below:
get file name
Hope it helps.
