ADF reading dirty records programmatically in managed bean

Hi,
I have a ADF Table in which one column is a input text field.If we make change to any of the rows and press update button ADF BC recognises the dirty records and updates them.I need to read those rows in managed bean as i need to update some other fields of that row programmatically.
Any ideas..
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Frank..
In value change listner we get the new value and old value only.. How can we get the complete row details..I thought of getting the row details from the iterator by passing the selected row index ..
but there can be multiple rows selected ..
Is there any other possible solution to get the other attributes of the same row in valuechangelistner..
Thanks in advance

Help Reading parameter in VWP backing/managed bean

Hi everyone. I am working on adding a jMaki widget into my Visual Web Pack Application and need some help sending data from my jMaki widget and receiving it in my VWP backing bean.
I have been able to get the jMaki widget added by manipulating the example found on the divas blog: http://blogs.sun.com/divas/. My next step would be to be able to get the data being sent.

How to access backing bean of a xml component , in a managed bean of ADF

Hi,
We wrote a xml component in JSF and this component is used in ADF project by including the component as jar .
In a master detail page , we need to update the value of the xml component, when the master row is changed. How to do this.
We are trying to do this by accessing the backing bean of the xml component in ADF project's managed bean. So when ever the row changes, we can access the managed bean in ADF and then can set the value of the xml component by accessing it's backing bean
But i can't access the backing bean instance of the xml component in the ADF managed bean. Could you let me know how to do this. Thanks .

Thanks for the response Shay. The xml component is added as a custom component , with a separate faces-config.xml file . This component is added to ADF project as a jar with a custom tag.
In the ADF project , i'm having different managed beans and i can access them from a different managed bean.
The issue is, i can't access the added custom component's backing bean which is available from a different jar , defined in a separate faces-config.xml file . This backing bean is defined with request scope.

Managed Bean in Task Form

Hi!Oracle Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.5.0, Oracle JDeveloper 11g.
I post this thread in this section because of the type of project I am working in (SOA Application).
I am trying to customize a BPEL Task Form.
After I made a project using Fusion Web Application, I could confirm that the managed beans for some ADF Faces components were working and the form (an .jspx page that I would run on Integrated Web Logic Server) was functional.
I made a project using SOA Application.
I made a BPEL Process with a Human Tak and using the Launch Task Form Wizard I made a form.
Then I started adding ADF Faces components that are using managed beans, just like in the other project.
When I deploy the project, all the components using the beans just dont show up. If I dont use the components with the managed beans the form appears normally.
Is there some additional requirement to make the bindings with the managed beans in the Task Form?
To clarify the question below I have some printscreens:
1. SelectOneChoice "Rubrica" component with value binding from the ActionListenerOK java class;
http://i43.tinypic.com/x4j0ol.jpg
2. Showing the Expression Builder for the above value binding;

3. Method Expression Builder for a Button Component;
http://i41.tinypic.com/2r38tw2.jpg
4. The managed beans list for the form page;

5. How the form appears when using the components with java bean bindings;

6. How the form appears when delete the components with tha java bindings;

Impossible to call a action handler in managed bean

Hello! I’d developed simple jsf-application using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 that doesn’t use faces-config.xml for a nafigation.
Simple jsf page (page1.jspx) has only one command button:
<af:commandButton text="commandButton 1"
binding="#{backing_page1.commandButton1}"
id="commandButton1"
action="#{backing_page1.commandButton1_action}"
immediate="true"/>
Action is handled programmatically in managed bean Page1.java:
public String commandButton1_action() {
ExternalContext ec = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
ec.redirect("page2.jspx");
return null;
The sample application works fine.
Then I’d tried to use the same jsf app to develop PDK Portlet (Oracle PDK, not jsr-168). I used Portal 10.1.4 and OC4J 10.1.3.3.
The part of provider.xml:
<showPage class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.render.http.ResourceRenderer">
<resourcePath>/faces/page1.jspx</resourcePath>
</showPage>
Action is handled programmatically in managed bean Page1.java:
public String commandButton1_action() {
ExternalContext ec = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
ec.redirect("http://<hostname>:7778/portal/page/portal/SampleGroup/Sample6");
return null;
Unfortunately, the jsf page doesn’t call an action after submit of the button. It’s impossible to call any handler in managed bean. Although, it’s possible in usual jsf app.
I wonder that af:goLink on the page1.jspx works fine:
<af:goLink text="goLink 1" binding="#{backing_page1.goLink1}"
id="goLink1"
destination=" http://<hostname>:7778/portal/page/portal/SampleGroup/Sample6"/>
The ask: why jsf page can’t call an action handler in managed bean in case of a portlet development?
Thank you. Andrew

Thank you, Frank! I’d expected an answer from you:) I and my colleagues is your big funs:)
I’d understood Portal intercepts any event on a portal page before jsf event.
But, it’s possible to use struts for portlet development. I’d hoped there is the same approach for Faces too (oracle.portal.provider.v2.render.http.FacesRenderer - http://www.oracle.com:80/technology/products/webcenter/files/pdk_downloads/jpdk/oracle/portal/provider/v2/render/http/FacesRenderer.html).
WebCenter is fine product but one is expensive. May be, is there a way to develop jsf portlet outside webcenter?
Thanks, Andrew

ADF BC How to read a record from database in a bean

Due to the problem I have in this thread Re: Inserting multiple rows programmatically got unique key error I need a work around. One work around is checking whether a record is exist in database prior to insert/commit. This can be achieve whether reading the record and if found that it exists or there is function that I can call to check whether a record is exist. Please note that the search criteria (read criteria) is a combination of two fields.
Thanks.

It's kind of unproductive to open a new thread, as we now need to keep track of two threads.
If you korean a new thread you should provide all info to understand the problem, the jdev version you use and the user case. All this info is missing in this thread, but given in the other thread. Conclusion is that we should continue in the other thread.

Programmatically closing a popup from a managed bean

Hi,
in the following blog [http://thepeninsulasedge.com/frank_nimphius/2008/02/14/adf-faces-rc-programmatically-closing-a-popup-from-a-managed-bean/|http://thepeninsulasedge.com/frank_nimphius/2008/02/14/adf-faces-rc-programmatically-closing-a-popup-from-a-managed-bean/]
the following statement is being made at the end ...
The JavaScript call is issued as "window.exitPopup()" because the script is called from the page root. You can easily see how the JavaScript can be modified to have "exitPopup" becoming a generic function avoiding hard coded popup ID's as in my example.
I don't understand how to avoid hardcoded popup ID's. Could someone please explain this to me.
Thank you
Bodhy

Hi,
thank you. It is working.
@Timo
The closePopup function in your comment has the variable popupId. That made me wonder, if it is possible to set this variable in my jspx page.
I made a workaround by defining a new variable called popupId with getter and setter methods and using the setActionListener to set that popupId. After that I was calling the closePopup() function. Do you know a better way doing this?
@Frank
I was also reading through Frank's blog about JavaScript [http://thepeninsulasedge.com/frank_nimphius/adf-faces-rich-client-javascript-programming/|http://thepeninsulasedge.com/frank_nimphius/adf-faces-rich-client-javascript-programming/] , trying to find a solution to call JavaScript functions with variables (defining these variables in my jsp page). Is this possible?
Thank you

How to access all rows one by one of a ADF table through managed bean

Hi Experts,
Hi i am new in ADF.
Could someone help me for solving the below case?
Scenario - I have table called Test_T1 which have 4 columns C1,C2,C3,C4. Have created EO,VO and AM for test_t1.
At the time of ADF page creation i selected the option 'Automatically Exposed UI components in New managed bean' (mynewmanagedbean.java).
From Data control drag and drop Test_T1 table in the page as a ADF table.
Set the properties for C1,C2,C3 is read only and C4 is an input text.
Have add after the table and attathed button action on the managed bean mynewmanagedbean.java.
At the time of running the page Test_T1 populated with some no. of rows (like 9).
How can i access all the above rows through pressing the button without selection of any of them.
Actually i want to print all the table rows in log file at the time of pressing the button.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Timo,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I am using the JDeveloper 11.1.2.1.0.
As previously said I am totally new in this framework. So if you explain the solution given by you then it will be help full for me.
Don't know r you agree or not for this ?
When i put your resolution in the command button bean JDeveloper said TestDataRow type not found.
What will be the type and TestDataRow and what is missing in below code or how i will declare that in below code?

Use ADF Managed Bean to get the username in BPM Workspace

Hi all,
I used JSF and ADF to build the UI of human task. And I want to get the username of the user who is manipulate on BPM Workspace. For example, an ADF form can display the username of current user in BPM Workspace. I also try this approach: use Manage Bean, and bind this bean to a output text in ADF form. The code fragment I use to get the current username is:
ADFContext.getCurrent().getSecurityContext().getUserPrincipal().getName();
But it does not work. The value I get is Anonymous.
So, plz help me solve this problem

Hi, please try this function as below:
public String getUserLogin() throws WorkflowException,
BPMIdentityException,
BPMUnsupportedAttributeException {
String userId = "";
IWorkflowServiceClient wfSvcClient;
ITaskQueryService queryService;
IWorkflowContext wfContext;
// Get username of User Login
String contextStr = ADFWorklistBeanUtil.getWorklistContextId();
wfSvcClient = WorkflowService.getWorkflowServiceClient();
queryService = wfSvcClient.getTaskQueryService();
wfContext = queryService.getWorkflowContext(contextStr);
userId = wfContext.getUser();
return userId;

Accessing facade bean in ADF Faces managed bean

Hello
I am trying to display data from a database on a page using ADF Faces. I am using a Web Application [JSF, EJB] template in JDeveloper with the model project using JPA entities with a session facade bean to manage the entities (as described here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe1013jdev/10131/ejb_and_jpa/master-detail_pagewith_ejb.htm ).
What I have tried to do is to set up a managed session bean in the ViewController project that is referenced by a faces page. The managed bean is supposed to, on creation, load data from the database into managed properties which are then displayed on the faces page using EL references. I want all JPA management to go through the facade, and thus I want to inject the facade bean into the managed bean using @EJB notation. However, the injection does not work, and all I get is a NullPointerException when trying to access the injected facade in the managed bean.
I have also tried instantiating the facade bean in the managed bean's constructor manually, but when I try to call a method on the facade, I get another NullPointerException, this time from the entity manager which obviously is not injected into the facade bean.
What is strange is that the facade bean works perfectly when I use the datacontrols generated from the facade bean, as described in the tutorial (no exception from the entity manager).
I have searched high and low for a solution to this, and from what I can read, it should be possible to do what I want (see for example https://blueprints.dev.java.net/bpcatalog/ee5/persistence/ejbfacade.html and http://luxlog.wordpress.com/2007/12/15/basic-example-web-app-with-glassfish-netbeans-60-jsf-and-ejb3/ ). I found someone mentioning that dependency injection in the web container OC4J was added after a given version, and that web.xml needs to be upgraded to version 2.5, which I have done but did not solve anything.
Is this not possible in JDeveloper/OC4J at all? Is there any other way to access the facade session bean in managed beans?

Hi,
for resource injection you need JDeveloper 11. Here the EJB annotation works to inject the resource. If you want to do similar in 10.1.3 then you need to do a JNI lookup in the managed bean (under the shelves ADF does the same)

Howto: Iterate ADF BC from a managed bean from the View?

Hi Everyone,
I've been trying to iterate a BC ADF object from a managed bean from the view layer. Here is what I have done so far, but I don't seem to get any records:
In faces-config.xml, I am passing in the BindingContext to the managed bean. (This is a session scoped bean).
<managed-property>
      <property-name>bindings</property-name>
      <property-class>oracle.adf.model.BindingContext</property-class>
      <value>#{data}</value>
    </managed-property>In the testPageDef.xml I have the executables and bindings setup:
<executables>
    <iterator id="TestRO1Iterator" RangeSize="-1" Binds="TestRO1"
              DataControl="ApplicationControlDataControl"/>
</executables>
<bindings>
    <table id="TestRO1" IterBinding="TestRO1Iterator">
      <AttrNames>
        <Item Value="C1"/>
        <Item Value="C2"/>
      </AttrNames>
    </table>
</bindings>In my managed bean, in addition to the accessors for the bindingContext of bindings, I have:
             BindingContainer bc = getBindings().findBindingContainer("testPageDef");
             ControlBinding cb = bc.getControlBinding("TestRO1");
             RangeBinding rb = (RangeBinding)cb;
             List testList = rb.getRangeSet();
             Iterator testIter = testList.iterator();
             int testCount = testList.size();
             while (testIter.hasNext()) {
               Map attrs = (Map)testIter.next();
               System.out.println(attrs.get("C1")+","+attrs.get("C2"));
               //Do some fancy stuff here with the values.
             }However, my testList.size() always returns 0.
Is this the right method to programatically access the data from the view layer from a managed bean, or have I missed something completely? Are there any working samples that I could take a look at?
Jdev: 10.1.3.1
Thanks!
Kenton

Hi,
<managed-property>
<property-name>bindings</property-name>
<value>#{bindings}</value>

public BindingContainer getBindingContainer(){

RowSetIterator rsi = dciter.getRowSetIterator();
while (rsi.hasNext()){
Row rw = (Row) rsi.next();
//Do some fancy stuff here with the values.
You find several examples in the developer guide and on the Internet

Iterator returns no records in managed bean

Yes, its time to talk about the old SelectManyShuttle again! Well I've tried my hand at revising some blog code for the managed bean this time in order to populate and control the shuttle. But the binding is giving me the blues. Here's the code. It's not copmplete but it's enough to debug and see that the Iterator is CAPUT!
package nebula.view.backing;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javax.faces.model.SelectItem;
import oracle.adf.model.binding.DCIteratorBinding;
import oracle.binding.BindingContainer;
public class RoleShuttleHelper {
private BindingContainer bindings;
private SelectItem[] allRoles = null;
private List manyShuttleValue;
private List initialSelectedValue;
public void RoleShuttleHelper(){
public SelectItem[] getAllRoles () {
if (allRoles == null) {
DCIteratorBinding rolesIt = (DCIteratorBinding) this.getBindings().get("AuthGroupView1Iterator");
allRoles = new SelectItem[rolesIt.getAllRowsInRange().length];
manyShuttleValue = new ArrayList();
for(int i=0; i < rolesIt.getAllRowsInRange().length; i++){
SelectItem item = new SelectItem();
item.setLabel(rolesIt.getAllRowsInRange().getAttribute("GroupLongName").toString());
item.setValue(rolesIt.getAllRowsInRange()[i].getAttribute("GroupId"));
allRoles[i] = item;
initialSelectedValue = manyShuttleValue;
return allRoles;
public void setBindings(BindingContainer bindings) {
this.bindings= bindings;
public BindingContainer getBindings() {
return bindings;
It looks like rolesIt.getAllRowsInRange().length is returning an undefined value. The causes the for loop to be skipped over. I assume this means that no rows have been fetched. Can anybody help? I've also added the XML for my managed bean to the adfc-config.xml here is that listing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<adfc-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/controller" version="1.2">
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>backing_AdminPage</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>nebula.view.backing.AdminPage</managed-bean-class>

</managed-bean>

<managed-property>
<property-name>bindings</property-name>
<value>#{bindings}</value>
</managed-property>
</managed-bean>
</adfc-config>
Thanks!

you can try this too..
    public SelectItem[] populateShuttle(String iterName, String tmpValue, String tmpLabel){
        DCIteratorBinding iter= getBindingsForDCB().findIteratorBinding(iterName);
        int startIdx = iter.getRangeSize();
        iter.setRangeSize(-1);
        Row[] rows = iter.getAllRowsInRange();
        SelectItem[] shuttleElements = new SelectItem[rows.length];
        SelectItem item = null;
        if(rows != null && rows.length > 0){
           for(int i=0; i<rows.length; i++){
               Row r = rows;
String attribute = r.getAttribute(tmpValue).toString();
String label = r.getAttribute(tmpLabel).toString();
item = new SelectItem();
item.setValue(attribute);
item.setLabel(label);
shuttleElements[i] = item;
iter.setRangeSize(startIdx);
return shuttleElements;

Simple Applicaiton without Managed Beans in ADF? [SOLVED]

I have a simple problem and coming from the SpringFramework world it isn't so simple in ADF. I am using JDeveloper 11g preview and all the examples I have seen require usage of a manged bean to do the following:
Given:
1. I have a service class (EmployeeService) that has two methods: findEmployees() and findEmployee(String uuid)
2. I have two pages: listEmployees.jspx and viewEmployee.jspx
Objective:
1. I would like to list all the employees returned by findEmployees() in the listEmployees.jspx.
2. I would like to create a commandLink in the listEmployees.jspx for each employee such that when the commandLink for a particular employee it takes you to the viewEmployee.jspx passing to it the selected employee's uuid.
3. I would like to have viewEmployee.jspx page call the findEmployee(String uuid) using the passed in uuid.
Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

What you need here is an action method binding, ie a method in the managed bean that gets the current row id and calls the right method to retrieve the data.
The ADF Tutorial, Chapter 7 shows you how (http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/ADF_tutorial_1013/10131/index.htm)

I want to get a adf component in managed bean with jsff. What can I do?

I want to get a adf component using FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().findComponent("my component id").
It's ok in taskflow with jspx, but I can't get the component correctly in my managed bean in taskflow using page fragment.
The error is "can not find view root".

What features do you need in the discussion board and how big do you forecast the community to be?
I gather that you really want a free solution.
No software is perfect but when you pay for software you generally get features and the expectation of a certain minimum level of support.
With open source, you get free, features and some support but you also get constant security fixes, regular update patches, plus lots of trawling through online forums looking for tweaks and workarounds. Expect to invest lots of time maintaining it.
I've used phpBB in the past but never had issues with DW touching the coding. It served its purpose for me and the community at the time but the issues I dealt with regularly were the constant updates/bugfixes and never ending spam, spam, spam.
