Af:query component and persisting preference to database

I am using af:query component for search functionality and that component has an saving preference option to store the preference in session. I would like to store/persist the preference to database and retreive them and show to the user when they come next time.
Could you please let me know, how to accomplish this?
Thanks

Ejsp2000,
In order to do this, you need MDS, which didn't make it into this release of JDeveloper.
I asked this very question a month or so back - you may be able to find it by searching.

How to create a binding through code for both a table and a query component

Hi,
I have a unique use case where I need to dynamically assign the dataBindings to a query Component and its resultant table component in a page. What I mean is,
1. I have a jsff page with a query and table (no bindings associated)
2. I know the name of the AM and the VO
3. I need to through java code create a DataCntrol bindin for
a. <searchRegion/> for query component
b. <iterator ... /> and <bindings... /> for the table
4. The VO and AM is dynamic and not known at design time.
Is there anyway to achieve this? Please let me know if you need further classification on my question.
Appreciate your input!
Thanks

Programmatically Load Query Component on Page Load

Hi All.
We have a requirement in which we need to populate the fields of a query component and execute the query...upon loading of the page.
Our use case:
We have a page in which there is an analytic showing counts of requests in different status (i.e. Open, Closed, In Process).
Status Count
==== ====
Closed _5_
Open _3_
In Process _6_
When the user clicks on the count (which is a hyperlink) we want to take them to the "Search for Requests" page with the criteria filled out and the query automatically executed. For example, if the user clicks on the count of "5" (for Closed)....they will be transferred to the "Search for Requests" page. The query field of "Status" will be defaulted with "Closed" and the query automatically executed (with the 5 requests shown in the result set).
We are using page fragments (.jsff) in bounded ADF task flows.
I am thinking that we need to set up a default activity in the "Search for Requests" task flow that will call the AM Impl method to handle this on the model side but I am unclear on how to programmatically set the criteria that is used in a query component?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
D

In the processRequest of your controller you can invoke a method in the AM which in turn invokes a method in the Search VO which sets the where clause and executes the query.

In af:query component , need to make Match option invisble

Hi,
i am using af:query component and do not want to show the Match with radio button options (All, Any).
Can anyone suggest how to achieve this.

You use view criteria, as this is what af:query is for. You use 'All queryable Attributes' which is an implicit view criteria.
There is no easy way (I don't know one) to remove the 'Match all/any' radio button other than the way Luc described. In your case you have to build a view criteria like the 'All queryable Attributes' to get to the switch in the UI hint tab of the view criteria.
To do this you create a new criteria and add all attributes you want to one group without specifying and literal or bind variable and use an operator like StartWith for strings and equal for numbers. Then uncheck the 'Show Match all Any' checkbox and use this view criteria for your af:query.

Af:query how to control the query combobox and change it's label text

My colleague designed a well working af:query search page with several selectable predefined queries. Now it's up to me to control this combobox from outside the component with big colored buttons for user convenience. If the user clicks on one of the big buttons, the assigned item of the combobox is selected and then the query is submitted.
I though about doing this with javascript, but the difficulty is, that I have no idea and didn't find a way to reference the id of the combobox? The combobox is a 'built in' component in he af:query component and there is no way to give it an id in the properties.
The second problem is that I didn't find a way to change the label text of the combobox. It seems to be hard coded?
Thanks in advance for your suggestion!

Hi,
the text should be coming from a message bundle and some other look and feel related elements should be settable through skinning in CSS
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/adffaces/11/doc/skin-selectors.html
search for af|query
Regarding the JavaScript access, use firebug JS debugger. The af query class is AdfRichQuery.js
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/adffaces/11/doc/multiproject/adf-richclient-api/js_docs_out/AdfRichQuery.html
Note however that you should be able to do in Java what you are aimning for in JavaScript. However the usecase you want to implement is not fully clear to me - to be honest

Multiple queries happeing in adf query component using LOV

Hi,
I am using a programmatic view object in adf query component and have created List of values for one attribute by adding another programmatic ViewObject as ViewAccessor.
To populate the lov ViewObject, i have overwritten the method executeQueryForCollection in which i call the webservice to fetch the data. So lov is working fine inside QueryComponent.
I have overwritten queryListener attribute of query component in my backing bean. In the queryListener method, to populate the result grid, am populating the view object by using createRow and insertRow apis. While doing so, Whenever i do setAttibute for the lov field, the overwrittern method executeQueryForCollection getting invoked. Hence my webService getting invoked. So if i have 10 rows, the webservice is getting invoked 10 times.
I put sops in the executeQueryForCollection method for the queryMode and getName.
System.out.println("executeQueryForCollection::::"+this.getQueryMode()); i get as 7
System.out.println("executeQueryForCollection:::=" +this.getName()); i get as CurrencySummaryLOVVO_5708_findByVC_ The number 5708 varies for every row.
Please tell me How to avoid invoking the executeQueryForCollection everytime when i do setAttribute.
One workaround i have currently is to have one dummry attribute for the lov which can be used for display in grid and actual attribute will be used in Query Component for the lov to function.
Is there any other better workaround?
Thanks a lot in Advance.
Vivek

When you set a value to LOV field it tries to validate it from the LOV data. thats why it execute query.
Try setting Row Level Bind Values = false for the accessor.
yet, i would suggest to find an other way to populate values of LOV since the executeQueryForCollection will be executed many times when you use that LOV:

Programmtically Setting View Criteria in ADF Query Component

I have created two view criterias for a View Object and used ADF Query component for searching. User can select any one of the View Criteria from "saved search" in ADF Query component. but i want to set it programmatically based on some business rules. How i can do that?

No I don't want to set view criteria on search click. Actually I have ADF Query component on my page which is by default disabled. There are also some fields outside the query component on the value of which i enable ADF Query component and wants to set a particular ViewCriteria based on context. All ViewCriterias are defined and listed in "saved search" of ADF Query component but i don't want to allow user to select it but wants to application set it automatically based on context. For it i will be needed to set a particualar ViewCriteria for ADF Query component through code and then refresh ADF Query component to show newly set ViewCriteria. I know how to refresh query component or any other component through code but don't know how to set ViewCriteria on ADF Query component?

VB 2008, CR component and MS Acc: how to access with database(not user) pwd

These are the detail of the query:
1. MS Access 2003 and later database via OLE DB provide for entry of a u201Cdatabase passwordu201D to provide additional protection.
2. In VB 2005 and in VB2008 environment I have managed to establish a connection with a database password and open recordsets using ADO connection. See code below.
Note. stPassword is user password and stDBPassword is database password with the following code:
With cnn
          'set connection string
          .ConnectionString "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Password=" & stPassword & ";Data Source=T:\CPI.mdb;User ID=" & stUser & ";Persist Security Info=False;" & "Jet OLEDB:System database=t:\cpi.mdw;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=" & stDBPassword
          .Open()
End With
3. When using Crystal Reports component supplied with VS 2008 I can only provide USER NAME and USER PASSWORD. No information is available how and where to enter DATABASE PASSWORD to the Crystal Reports component. As a result, Crystal Reports Viewer starts to run. Obviously access is denied because no DATABASE PASSWORD has been provided to the component. A common dialog comes up to enter database password.
4. User does not necessarily need know the DATABASE password and I am not interested in providing the database password to every user who runs reports. In this project database password serves as a form of protection from tampering with the database structure and contents through the use MS Access to access the database.
5. Here is the code to demonstrate logon via Crystal Component described above:
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
And then in a sub:
    Dim cnnInfo As ConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo()
    'cnnInfo.DatabaseName = cnn.DefaultDatabase
    cnnInfo.UserID = stUser
    cnnInfo.Password = stPassword
No place to input DATABASE password!!!
Does anyone know how can I input database password or provide a connection string or maybe ADO connection object which is opened within the project code.

It seems like it is not possible to set the DB level password with the CR Visual Studio bundled version (as stated in the following KB c2010267). You would need to use the full version, and use the code below:
Symptom
A VB .NET application uses Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET as the reporting development tool.
A report is created that connects to a password protected Microsoft Access Database.
How do you pass a password (for database level security) or a password and user ID (for user level security) at runtime using the different connection methods(Native/ODBC/OLEDB)?
Resolution
To pass the database level password or a user level
userid/password at runtime, use the following code
sample:
'Add the following namespaces to the top of the code
'page
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
Dim crReportDocument As New ReportDocument()
Dim crConnectionInfo as New ConnectionInfo
Dim crtableLogoninfo As New TableLogOnInfo()
Dim CrTables As Tables
Dim CrTable As Table
crReportDocument = New CrystalReport1()
With crConnectionInfo
<**Insert code from below depending on the type of
connection and the version of Crystal Reports you are
using**>
End With
CrTables = crReportDocument.Database.Tables
For Each crTable in crTables
crTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo =
crConnectionInfo
CrTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo)
Next
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource =
crReportDocument

Timezone effects on Date and Timestamp fields in af:query component

Hello,
I'm working on an ADF application where time zone is configured as follows:
* Dynamic View Layer time zone is configured in trinidad-config.xml file and bound to a session scoped value:
<trinidad-config>
<skin-family>fusionFx</skin-family>
<time-zone>#{sessionScope.tz}</time-zone>
</trinidad-config>* ADF BC time zone is configured in adf-config.xml file and bound to View Layer time zone:
<adf-config>
<user-time-zone-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/usertimezone/config">
<user-timezone expression="#{adfFacesContext.timeZone.ID}"/>
</user-time-zone-config>
</adf-config>The problem here is that Dates and Timestamp values work as expected all over the application except for the af:query component. When displayed as af:inputDate in af:form, Dates and Timestamp values are NOT getting converted to the time zone (TZ) configured in trinidad-config.xml file, whereas TimestampTz and TimestampLtz are. However, when displayed in af:query component, Dates and Timestamp values are automatically converted to View Layer TZ after a search has been performed.
For example, say View Layer TZ = US/Pacific and we enter 01/jun/2011 as a search criteria of type Date and then click on the Search button. The displayed value automatically changes to 25/nov/2011, that is, it gets converted to the WLS JVM time zone, which is set to Europe/London.
Is conversion of Date and Timestamps in af:query component the expected behaviour or could this be a bug?
Is there any way to avoid this conversion?
Thanks in advance

Oracle 10G and UCCX 5.0 Database Connection return 0 rows on query

Currently I have an issue with UCCX 5.0 and Oracle 10G, we need to access a table on an Oracle10G DB, form IP IVR, so I installed the driver, created the ODBC connection and declared the ODBC, user and password on the Database subsystem (name on UCCX match the ODBC name) and restarted the engine.
Im trying to do simple select statement (SELECT * FROM TABLE) and I'm getting a 0 count once I test it.

Hi,
I see it has been a while since you posted this question, but I am having exactly the same problem with an Oracle integration and I was wondering if you were able to fix this and how.
Your reply will be greatly appreciated.

EJB 3.0 - JSF APPLICATION: DATA DOES NOT PERSIST TO THE DATABASE

Hi,
I am developing a JSF - EJB application and the data that I send from JSP Page through JSF Managed Bean --> Session Bean --> Java Persistence does not persist in database.
Here is my scenario ( Iam using JDeveloper IDE to create this application) -
SCENARIO START
The scenario consists of two web pages, one enlisting all the users stored in the database, the other contains a form for adding a user
1.) INDEX.JSP
2.) ADDUSER.JSP
Step 1: Create the USERS Table in database
CREATE TABLE users
user_id serial,
username varchar(255) NOT NULL,
first_name varchar(255),
last_name varchar(255),
password char(64) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT pk_users PRIMARY KEY (user_id)
Step 2: Add Database Connection To JDeveloper
Go to Database Connection Navigator and create a New Database Connection using the Wizard
Step 3: Create a New Application in JDeveloper and select JSF, EJB from Application Template
Step 4: ENTITY BEAN - In the EJB Node Right Click and Select EJB à New Entites from Table (JPA/EJB3.0)
Use The Wizard and create Entity Bean from Users Table which creates an Entity Bea POJO file as follows –
User.java -
package lux.domain;
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.NamedQuery;
import javax.persistence.SequenceGenerator;
import javax.persistence.Table;
@Entity
@NamedQuery(name = "User.findAll", query = "select o from User o")
@Table(name = "USERS")
public class User implements Serializable {
@Column(name="FIRST_NAME")
private String firstName;
@Column(name="LAST_NAME")
private String lastName;
@Column(nullable = false)
private String password;
@Column(nullable = false)
private String username;
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator="users_seq_generator")
@SequenceGenerator(name="users_seq_generator", sequenceName="users_user_id_seq")
@Column(name="USER_ID", nullable = false)
private Long userId;
public User() {
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
public String getPassword() {
return password;
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
public String getUsername() {
return username;
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
public Long getUserId() {
return userId;
public void setUserId(Long userId) {
this.userId = userId;
Step 5: STATELESS SESSION BEAN - In the EJB Node Right Click and Select EJB à New Entites from Table (JPA/EJB3.0)
Again Right Click on Model and create Session Bean from Wizard which creates two files –
UserDAOBean.java – Stateless Session Bean
UserDAO.java – Local Interface
package lux.facade;
import java.security.MessageDigest;
import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;
import javax.persistence.Query;
import lux.domain.User;
@Stateless(name="UserDAO")
public class UserDAOBean implements UserDAO {
@PersistenceContext(unitName="Model")
private EntityManager em;
public UserDAOBean() {
public User getUser(int UserId) {
User u = new User();
u = em.find(User.class, UserId);
return u;
public List<User> getAllUsers() {
Query q = em.createQuery("SELECT u FROM User u");
List<User> users = q.getResultList();
return users;
public void createUser(User u) {
String hashedPw = hashPassword(u.getPassword());
u.setPassword(hashedPw);
em.persist(u);
public void updateUser(User u) {
String hashedPw = hashPassword(u.getPassword());
u.setPassword(hashedPw);
em.merge(u);
public void deleteUser(User u) {
em.remove(u);
private String hashPassword(String password) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
try {
MessageDigest messageDigest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA");
byte[] bs;
bs = messageDigest.digest(password.getBytes());
for (int i = 0; i < bs.length; i++) {
String hexVal = Integer.toHexString(0xFF & bs);
if (hexVal.length() == 1) {
sb.append("0");
sb.append(hexVal);
} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(UserDAOBean.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
return sb.toString();
Step 6: Create a Deployment file in the Model and Deploy this to a JAR file
Step 7: Now Right Click on View/Controller Node and create a Java File –
UserController.java -
package lux.controllers;
import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.faces.model.DataModel;
import javax.faces.model.ListDataModel;
import lux.domain.User;
import lux.facade.UserDAO;
public class UserController {
@EJB UserDAO userDao;
private User user;
private DataModel model;
public String createUser() {
this.user = new User();
return "create_new_user";
public String saveUser() {
String r = "success";
try {
userDao.createUser(user);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
r = "failed";
return r;
public DataModel getUsers() {
model = new ListDataModel(userDao.getAllUsers());
return model;
public User getUser() {
return user;
public void setUser(User user) {
this.user = user;
Step 8: Configure page flow in faces-config.xml
1. Create the JSP file adduser.jsp by right-clicking View-Controller
node and selecting New > JSP. Use the wizard to create JSF – JSP Page, fill in
File Name adduser.jsp, click Finish. -
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@taglib prefix="f" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"%>
<%@taglib prefix="h" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"%>

2. Repeat the previous step for another JSP file failed.jsp.
3. On failed.jsp add the string
Save failed
Next we configure the page flow.
1. Open faces-config.xml.
2. Create index.jsp -

3. Drag an arrow from index.jsp to adduser.jsp and replace the arrow’s label to create_new_user.
4. Repeat the previous step for failed, by dragging and arrow from adduser.jsp to failed.jsp renaming the label to f
ailed
5. Finally repeat the step for adduser.jsp, by dragging from adduser.jsp to index.jsp renaming the label to success.
This creates the following faces-config.xml file –

Step 9: Create a Deployment file in the View-Controller and Deploy this to a WAR file
Step 10: Create a Deployment file in the View-Controller and create an EAR file and add Model’s JAR and View-Controller’s
WAR files to it.
Step 11: Run the JSP Files
SCENARIO END
Now, When I execute Index.jsp, it does not list values from database and when I click on Create User link, it takes me to adduser.jsp page. When I fill values in this page and click Save button, it takes me to Save Failed page and data does not persist to the database.
WHAT IS WRONG OUT HERE ???

If you set a breakpoint in your createUser method - does this code get executed?
We have a couple of tutorials that might show you how to do this.

JSF - EJB 3.0 Application - Data does not persist to the database

Hi,
I am developing a JSF - EJB application and the data that I send from JSP Page through JSF Managed Bean --> Session Bean --> Java Persistence does not persist in database.
Here is my scenario ( Iam using JDeveloper IDE to create this application) -
------------------------------------------------------- SCENARIO START
The scenario consists of two web pages, one enlisting all the users stored in the database, the other contains a form for adding a user
1.) INDEX.JSP
2.) ADDUSER.JSP
Step 1: Create the USERS Table in database
CREATE TABLE users
user_id serial,
username varchar(255) NOT NULL,
first_name varchar(255),
last_name varchar(255),
password char(64) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT pk_users PRIMARY KEY (user_id)
Step 2: Add Database Connection To JDeveloper
Go to Database Connection Navigator and create a New Database Connection using the Wizard
Step 3: Create a New Application in JDeveloper and select JSF, EJB from Application Template
Step 4: ENTITY BEAN - In the EJB Node Right Click and Select EJB � New Entites from Table (JPA/EJB3.0)
Use The Wizard and create Entity Bean from Users Table which creates an Entity Bea POJO file as follows �
User.java -
package lux.domain;
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.NamedQuery;
import javax.persistence.SequenceGenerator;
import javax.persistence.Table;
@Entity
@NamedQuery(name = "User.findAll", query = "select o from User o")
@Table(name = "USERS")
public class User implements Serializable {
@Column(name="FIRST_NAME")
private String firstName;
@Column(name="LAST_NAME")
private String lastName;
@Column(nullable = false)
private String password;
@Column(nullable = false)
private String username;
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator="users_seq_generator")
@SequenceGenerator(name="users_seq_generator", sequenceName="users_user_id_seq")
@Column(name="USER_ID", nullable = false)
private Long userId;
public User() {
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
public String getPassword() {
return password;
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
public String getUsername() {
return username;
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
public Long getUserId() {
return userId;
public void setUserId(Long userId) {
this.userId = userId;
Step 5: STATELESS SESSION BEAN - In the EJB Node Right Click and Select EJB � New Entites from Table (JPA/EJB3.0)
Again Right Click on Model and create Session Bean from Wizard which creates two files �
UserDAOBean.java � Stateless Session Bean
UserDAO.java � Local Interface
package lux.facade;
import java.security.MessageDigest;
import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;
import javax.persistence.Query;
import lux.domain.User;
@Stateless(name="UserDAO")
public class UserDAOBean implements UserDAO {
@PersistenceContext(unitName="Model")
private EntityManager em;
public UserDAOBean() {
public User getUser(int UserId) {
User u = new User();
u = em.find(User.class, UserId);
return u;
public List<User> getAllUsers() {
Query q = em.createQuery("SELECT u FROM User u");
List<User> users = q.getResultList();
return users;
public void createUser(User u) {
String hashedPw = hashPassword(u.getPassword());
u.setPassword(hashedPw);
em.persist(u);
public void updateUser(User u) {
String hashedPw = hashPassword(u.getPassword());
u.setPassword(hashedPw);
em.merge(u);
public void deleteUser(User u) {
em.remove(u);
private String hashPassword(String password) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
try {
MessageDigest messageDigest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA");
byte[] bs;
bs = messageDigest.digest(password.getBytes());
for (int i = 0; i < bs.length; i++) {
String hexVal = Integer.toHexString(0xFF & bs);
if (hexVal.length() == 1) {
sb.append("0");
sb.append(hexVal);
} catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(UserDAOBean.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
return sb.toString();
Step 6: Create a Deployment file in the Model and Deploy this to a JAR file
Step 7: Now Right Click on View/Controller Node and create a Java File �
UserController.java -
package lux.controllers;
import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.faces.model.DataModel;
import javax.faces.model.ListDataModel;
import lux.domain.User;
import lux.facade.UserDAO;
public class UserController {
@EJB UserDAO userDao;
private User user;
private DataModel model;
public String createUser() {
this.user = new User();
return "create_new_user";
public String saveUser() {
String r = "success";
try {
userDao.createUser(user);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
r = "failed";
return r;
public DataModel getUsers() {
model = new ListDataModel(userDao.getAllUsers());
return model;
public User getUser() {
return user;
public void setUser(User user) {
this.user = user;
Step 8: Configure page flow in faces-config.xml
1. Create the JSP file adduser.jsp by right-clicking View-Controller
node and selecting New > JSP. Use the wizard to create JSF � JSP Page, fill in
File Name adduser.jsp, click Finish. -
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@taglib prefix="f" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"%>
<%@taglib prefix="h" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

</head>
<body>
<f:view>
<h:form>
<h:messages/>
<h:panelGrid columns="2">
<h:outputText value="Username"/>
<h:inputText
id="Username"
value="#{user.user.username}"
required="true"/>
<h:outputText value="First name"/>
<h:inputText
id="FirstName"
value="#{user.user.firstName}" />
<h:outputText value="Last name"/>
<h:inputText
id="LastName"
value="#{user.user.lastName}" />
<h:outputText value="Password" />
<h:inputSecret
id="Password"
value="#{user.user.password}"
required="true" />
<h:panelGroup/>
<h:commandButton
action="#{user.saveUser}"
value="Save"/>
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
</f:view>
</body>
</html>
2. Repeat the previous step for another JSP file failed.jsp.
3. On failed.jsp add the string <h2>Save failed</h2>.
Next we configure the page flow.
1. Open faces-config.xml.
2. Create index.jsp -
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@taglib prefix="f" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"%>
<%@taglib prefix="h" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>User Listing</title>
</head>
<body>
<f:view>
<h:form>
<h1><h:outputText value="User Listing"/></h1>
<p><h:commandLink action="#{user.createUser}" value="Create a user"/></p>
<h:dataTable value="#{user.user}"
var="dataTableItem" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">

<h:outputText value="#{dataTableItem.username}" />
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="First name"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{dataTableItem.firstName}" />
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Last name"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText value="#{dataTableItem.lastName}" />
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
</h:form>
</f:view>
</body>
</html>
3. Drag an arrow from index.jsp to adduser.jsp and replace the arrow�s label to create_new_user.
4. Repeat the previous step for failed, by dragging and arrow from adduser.jsp to failed.jsp renaming the label to f
ailed
5. Finally repeat the step for adduser.jsp, by dragging from adduser.jsp to index.jsp renaming the label to success.
This creates the following faces-config.xml file �
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<faces-config>
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>user</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>lux.controllers.UserController</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
<managed-property>
<property-name>username</property-name>
<value>#{username}</value>
</managed-property>
<managed-property>
<property-name>firstName</property-name>
<value>#{firstName}</value>
</managed-property>
<managed-property>
<property-name>lastName</property-name>
<value>#{lastName}</value>
</managed-property>
<managed-property>
<property-name>password</property-name>
<value>#{password}</value>
</managed-property>
</managed-bean>
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/index.jsp</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>create_new_user</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/adduser.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
<navigation-rule>

<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/index.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
</faces-config>
Step 9: Create a Deployment file in the View-Controller and Deploy this to a WAR file
Step 10: Create a Deployment file in the View-Controller and create an EAR file and add Model�s JAR and View-Controller�s
WAR files to it.
Step 11: Run the JSP Files
------------------------------------------------------- SCENARIO END
Now, When I execute Index.jsp, it does not list values from database and when I click on Create User link, it takes me to adduser.jsp page. When I fill values in this page and click Save button, it takes me to Save Failed page and data does not persist to the database.
WHAT IS WRONG OUT HERE ???

Error while creating query component

Hi,
I working in a production environment where I have 2 application servers, 2 query servers and 2 crawling servers. I have created the search service application on the application server with the default topology then I modified the topology to add the crawl
components on the crawl servers successfully.
Now I have an issue creating new or modifying the current query components. Every time i try the create new query component I receive the below issue. The query server is having the services "SharePoint Server Search" and "Search Query and
Site Settings Service" running and other services are stopped.
So, does anyone knows why this issue happens and how to fix it

Are you creating the new topology using Central Administration or PowerShell?
It looks like there is an issue synchronizing the search configuration files in the share.
