ADF UIX and Database Changes

We are in the process of designing an entirely new system. Our data model is still changing but we are also trying to develop programs using Jdeveloper ADF UIX. Here is our issue; whenever our database tables change, we have to refresh our developed programs. Doing a synchronize on the view objects doesn't seem to update the xml or java files. Is there an easy way to do this? I find that the xml or java files still reference old fields that have been renamed or removed from the database. We are using Jdeveloper 10g.
Thanks!

I am very new to Jdeveloper 10G...First of all i want to create a screen with multiple rows and this screen should open up in Insert mode...and then on the button click i want a database procedure to be called which would then insert these rows into the table after few validations...
Now could you tell me how to create a screen with multiple rows in insert mode and if you have some example of referring to a database procedure then could you please point me to that?

Uploading xml file using ADF UIX and storing in ordsys.orddoc field

I am using ADF UIX and I am using the messageFileUpload tag to upload an XML file into the database (the file contains special characters like hyphens, apostrophes, $, etc). Once in the database I have a procedure which puts it into a clob field using the dbms_lob package. However, what exactly does ordsys.orddoc do with special characters? If I debug my procedure I see that 1 of 4 hyphens and 3 apostrophes have been turned into a character that looks like a square. Anyone know what is going on?

It should pass binary information only, no conversion at all.
The conversion is likely in messageFileUpload or the dbms_lob package you are using. Or you may need to tell DBMS_LOB the character set the XML file is in?
You may want to upload the file using the interMedia tag library... Using uploadFormData?

ADF UIX and Javascript

Hello,
I am new in ADF UIX...
I have a table in ADF UIX and I would like to use some my javascript functions. I know I have to set: <table proxied="true">....</table> but where I can write my functions, in an included file ? I mean, how does the interaction between the XML configuration file and javascript work ?
Thank in advance,
Henry

Hi Rade Todorovich,
As mentioned previously, if you had placed the javascript as indexed child of head element it would be fine.
<Head> is named child of <metaContainer> which inturn is named child of <document> element. The example below should make it clear.
This is how the UIX document would be
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<page xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/controller"
xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/ui"
xmlns:ctrl="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/controller"
xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"
expressionLanguage="el">
<content>
<dataScope xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/ui">
<provider>

</provider>
<contents>
<document>
<metaContainer>

<head title="test">
<contents>

<script source="./cabo/js/test.js"/>
<script>
<contents>
function theFunction()
alert('the function');
</contents>
</script>
</contents>
</head>
</metaContainer>
<contents>
<body>
<contents>
<form name="form0">

<contents>
<script>
<contents>
function hi()
alert('hi');
</contents>
</script>
<button text="call-hi" name="fn" onClick="return hi();"/>
<button text="call-theFunction" name="fn1" onClick="return theFunction();"/>
</contents>
</form>
</contents>
</body>
</contents>
</document>
</contents>
</dataScope>
</content>
<handlers>

</handlers>
</page>
There are two usages:
Case 1
In your html it would just appear the way you would normally write a JS function with in the head
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<META>
<script language="javascript" src="./cabo/js/test.js">

<scirpt language="javascript">
theFunction()
</script>
</head>

<form ....>
</form>
<script language="javascript">
function hi()
alert('hi');
</script>
</html>
Case 2
As such <script> element can occur in HTML document.
as mentioned in http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/scripts.html#h-18.2.1
In the same way UIX also allows the use of script element with in its <body> element.
With case 2 you can see the way the script gets inlined in the HTML document. Please run the UIX and view source for the rendered page. It should become obvious.

Adf uix and 800*600 resolution

We need to develop an application with adf uix and 800*600 resolution.
It seems that uix rendering is not so fine with 800*600 resolution.
What is the suggested workaround to this problem?
Do we need to customize the look and feel (and what customization steps do we need to perform) or what else?
Thanks in advance, Mauro

800*600 did work until for a couple of days ago when it did start saying "sync. out of area"
Its a siemens something screen... 5 years old...
i did look at the cable to the screen one "pigg" of the 15 "piggs" are missing.. could it be some problem there... all other res. are working without a problem..
the screen should work at 800*600 at 100hz

File upload, download using ADF UIX and not JSP

I have examples for the file upload, download using JSP
But I want to use ADF UIX. Look and feel in this is impressing and I want to use this. Any one have example for this.
Users will select a file from their desktop
This will be stored into the database (Any document. Word, Excel)
When they query the records then the UIX column need to give a hyperlink. Clicking on the link should prompt to download the file to the local system

Sure, I use the Apache Commons File Upload package, so that is what I will discuss here ( [Commons File Upload|http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/] ).
The Commons File Upload uses instances of ProgressListener to receive upload progress status. So first create a simple class that implements ProgressListener:
public class ProgressListenerImpl implements ProgressListener {
    private int percent = 0;
    public int getPercentComplete() {
        return percent;
    public void update(long pBytesRead, long pContentLength, int pItems) {
        if (pContentLength > -1) { //content length is known;
            percent = (new Long((pBytesRead / pContentLength) * 100)).intValue();
}So in your Servlet that handles file upload you will need to create an instance of this ProgressListenerImpl, register it as a listener and store it in the session:
ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload();
ProgressListenerImpl listener = new ProgressListenerImpl();
upload.setProgressListener(listener);
request.getSession().setAttribute("ProgressListener", listener);
...Now create another servlet that will retrieve the ProgressListenerImpl, get the percent complete and write it back (how you actually write it back is up to you, could be text, an XML file, a JSON object, up to you):
ProgressListenerImpl listener = (ProgressListenerImpl) request.getSession().getAttribute("ProgressListener");
response.getWriter().println("" + listener.getPercentComplete());
...Then your XMLHttpRequest object will call this second servlet and read the string returned as the percent complete.

ADF, UIX and ORDDOC

JDev 9.0.5.2 ADF, UIX, Struts
When I try to create a new record and upload a file as an ORDDOC type, I get ArrayOutOfBoundsException.
My database table and Entity Object have 2 columns:
DocumentId - DbSequence (trigger in database to increment id)
DocFile - OrdDocDomain (ORDSYS.ORDDOC)
Anyone have any ideas?

See the following thread for the solution:

Oracle ADF UIX and Struts

Does Oracle ADF UIX use Struts components internally? If yes, Does Oracle Support the issues that arises because this internally used Struts components? (I am using Oracle ADF in my application.
Thanks,
Aravind.

DataForwardAction and DataAction are build on top of struts actions to coordinate ADF databindings and it's life cycle;
UIX, has xmlns:struts="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/struts" this XML namespace has some elements like
<struts:form> and <struts:messageTextInput> also <struts:dataScope>
They work like struts jsp tag;

Adf uix and blaf

Hello I've known The Browser Look and Feel (BLAF). I'd like to use that to do a form printable page (in a new window) without the navigation buttons . In next link there's an explanation but really I can't understand how I must use BLAF in my uix page:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/blaf/specs/printAndPreview_flow.html
How can I do to interact a page uix with blaf?
thanks!!

The BLAF - as far as I understand it - is the usability concept behind UIX. So, UIX already implements (in part?) BLAF.
To create a printable version of a page you use the showFacet element. The page "Customization of ADF UIX" will show you how to use it. Search the help for "showFacet".
The facet already removes lots of elements not suitable for printing from the provided LAFs. You can do a
rendered="${uix.renderingContext.rendererManager.facet!='printable'}in your controls to further control the visibility of elements.

ADF UIX and Jdeveloper 10.1.3.0.4

Hello all,
I was trying to make a ADF UIX form and am attempting to use Jdeveloper 10.1.3.0.4.
It looks as if ADF UIX components cannot be made with Jdeveloper 10.1.3.0.4.
Is this true?

ADF security and database

Hi all,
I am implementing ADF security on my application and I came across the following Documents:
1- http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/1013/adfsecurity/adfsecurity_10132.html
2-http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/1013/oc4jjaas/oc4j_jaas_login_module.htm
and I have a few of questions :
1- in ADF security, the edit authorization options in the PageDef reads the roles (gorups) stored on the system-jazn-data.xml file. If my roles are stored on the Database how can I read them?
2- In the first document it is said " If the role name in web.xml matches a group name in system-jazn-data.xml, no further mapping is required. If the names do not match, then the web.xml role name needs to be mapped to the name in the system-jazn-data.xml using the orion-application.xml file. ". Can I do the mapping between the system-jazn-data.xml and the Database?
3-When I assign ADF security permissions on PageDefs, It will be stored in the app-jazn-data.xml file. Can I store/read those permissions from the Database and no the app-jazn-data.xml file or at least can I do some kind of mapping between the Database and this file?
thanks in advance,
Ahmad Esbita

Hi albertpi,
Thanks for you response. This is our first ADF application.
We are planning to impliment the security as mentioned above.
We can configure the LDAP users in Weblogic server.
We have a page with multiple tables which need to be shown based on the User roles.
These roles we are planning to define in the table.
1. I need to show list of users from my LDAP Users on the ADF UI to assign the roles.
2. We will be defining our list of roles in a database table, which not sure whether they need to map to ADF application security roles.
Data in table will be something like this.
User Role
Admin Tab1
Admin Tab2
Admin Tab3
User1 Tab1
User2 Tab2
User2 Tab3
Once the User is logged in we will read this table to show/hide the respective tabs.
Can you tell us are we in right path, if yes How to achieve this.
Thanks,
Satya

ADF UIX: communication between more than one browser window

Dear Sirs...
how can i open more than one browser window using ADF UIX and jdeveloper 10.1.2 such that the data entered in the second window affects the data in the first?
for example in the date field, a popup window appear that allows me to select the date, and then the selection appears in the first window.
how can i achieve something similar? i am using UIX not JSP
thanks for any help in advance
best regards

dear sir...
i am afraid you got me wrong, i am not talking about the database values.
let me give you an example of what i am trying to achieve:
1- create a date field, create an input forum to fill that field (uix page)
2- now you run the application, try to click the icon near the date field, a new popup window will appear, that helps you enter the date value.
3- when you select the value, the popup window disappears and the date is inserted into the forum
i am trying to achieve something similar.
thanks for your previous answer, but you got my question wrong.
best regards

Should I upgrade to STRUTS, ADF-UIX or to JSF

My applications still use the older bc4j objects and the trivial page flow manager. I have been looking at upgrading these apps to ADF-UIX and using STRUTS.
With the flurry of announcements about JSF, should I skip the planned upgrade above and go directly to JSF, if it's stable and complete enough, or wait until it is?
Thanks for any thoughts on this.
Steve

Shay,
Thanks for the quick response. Your comments on the lack of data binding cleared it up for me. I use data binding in my UIX code right now and plan to use more.
I will wait on JSF until a version is available with this feature.

JDev 10.1.2 / ADF UIX: Approach to render data in levels/groups

Hi guys, I'm looking for ideas on how to use ADF (UIX and BO) to render (and let the user work with) a structure of 3 tables which have a parent->child->child-of-the-child relationship.
The need is to show a table with the parent in one row and below of it all its children and below of each children its own children. Also, the lowest level rows have numeric data which have to be summarized by the parent and so on upwards; and the lowest level rows should be selectable for edition in another page, and after edition return to the table.
Is the recommended approach to use the hGrid to do this?
Or should I use plain JSP and customized tags to achieve this (for easiness)?
Are there any other options?

Solved it!! :-)
In the UIX page I check for the proxy in the event result, if it is there I take it, otherwise I take it from bindingcontext. Is this the right way to do it? Here is the UIX code:
                        <hGrid id="pptoHGrid" alternateText="No items were found"
                               treeData="${bindings.bindingContext['tree']}">
                          <boundAttribute name="proxy">
                            <if>
                              <comparison type="equals">
                                <null/>
                                <dataObject default="${uix.eventResult.hGridProxy}"/>
                              </comparison>
                              <dataObject default="${bindings.bindingContext['hGridProxy']}"/>
                              <dataObject default="${uix.eventResult.hGridProxy}"/>
                            </if>
                          </boundAttribute>Greets,

Oracle ADF UIX tutorial wont commit changes

I'm following the tutorial "Developing Applications with Oracle ADF UIX"
http://otn.oracle.com/obe/obe9051jdev/uixTutorial/lesson_UIX.htm
The tutorial works apart from if I create/update or delete a record its not commited to the database.
Where I'm I going wrong?
Thanks for any help.

create/update should be commited to database due to method "Commit" that you drop into commit data action, and delete won't be commited, you should additionaly create "Commit" button on your page or use another way to commit.
