Ajax component, phase listener and findComponent help

Hello,
I have a component that issues an Ajax Request. This request is collected by a phase-listener and then processed, however I am having difficulties finding the component that I want to re-render.
Is there a common approach for getting hold of components from a PhaseListener ? My scenario is:
When the user clicks and drags inside my component, I want to register the X-axis drag with a ValueChangeListener. (The component has a valueChangeListener="" attribute).
I am able to get the X-axis drag amount sent via Axis and into the PhaseListener, but at this point I am stuck. I now need to get hold of my component, and tell it how much to move the X-axis.
Any help is very much appreciated!

ok! i know for initial requests (when a user requesting the page for the first time ) the "JavaServer Faces implementation creates an empty view during restore View phase and the life cycle advances to the render response phase".
so i think it is impossible to change Uicomponent state in phase listener !!!! but how can i change Uicomponent attribute before page send to user's browser ?!!

Value Change Listener and field disable property in Ajax ADF component

Hi. I have used the Ajax ADF component in my application. It is working fine but I am unable to implement the ValuechangeListener property and disable property for this component. Can someone please help and tell me how i can implement these properties for the component? Thanks in advance.

Which component fired phase listener ?

Hi,
- I have a custome PagePhaseListener and I would like to know which component of a page fired the listener. Something like:
public void beforePhase(PagePhaseEvent event) {
// log the event.getSource().toString()
- However the code event.getSource().toString() returns the controller object itself and not the object which fired the lifecycle.
Thank you in advance.

I could get which component fired an adf page lifecycle inspection the resquest. Here is the code:
ExternalContext externalContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
Map requestMap = externalContext.getRequestMap();
Set set = requestMap.entrySet();
Iterator i = set.iterator();
while(i.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry me = (Map.Entry)i.next();
ILogger.log(this.getClass(), ILogger.TRACE, "request map entry: " + "key: " + me.getKey() + " value: " + me.getValue());
Inserting this code on my custom phase listener I could verify that my master detail implementation was fireing two many requests and what component was responsible of that. Look for keys oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.event.rich.ClientEvents key and oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.renderkit.newStreamingRecords

Date selection and search help component in jsp

Hi all:
    In sap portal jsp development enviorment, is it possible to easily program the date selection and search help ( just look like search help in webdynpro ) ?

Hello Jianhong,
the easiest way to set a value help is using HTMLB component in your JSP.
To do it, use next code:
<hbj:inputField
           id="DateInputField"
           type="date"
           showHelp="TRUE"
           ... other attributes
/>
Before using HTMLB components in your JSP, don't forget to add this line to your page:
<%@ taglib uri= "tagLib" prefix="hbj" %>
regards.

Help on Listener and Tnsnames.ORA

Hi guys,
I just installed Oracle Discoverer Admin Ed Rel 4 recently and i can't connect to Discoverer as well as SQL+ due to listener and tnsnames problem. Can you pls. help me to configure the .ORA files needed for the connection. I was trying to build database and connections local to my laptop. Is this possible using TCP-Loopback?
Appreciate any help...
Thanks.
Enzo

There's another possible problem on the Windows platform: Database and Discoverer are installed in different Oracle homes, many people configure the sqlnet files inside the database's ORACLE_HOME, which are not read automatically by the other home(s). So solution is to copy all configuration files to ORACLE_HOME\network\admin of all ORACLE_HOMEs OR to set TNS_ADMIN, which points to one central location.

Hi Ben,
how does your listener.ora look like ?
Mine is:
LISTENER =

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ronald-g4-eth)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ronald-g4-wifi)(PORT = 1521))
and listens to the ethernet and airport address.
When do you get the problems ?

How to get an event programmatically from a phase listener

Hi all,
does anyone know how I can get the component which generated the postback from a phase listener? I need this information because, in my application, I need to log into the database all the buttons and/or options the user clicked.
Thanks in advance,
Monique

Best what you can do is to get all map keys of the ExternalContext#getRequestParameterMap(), those are client ID's of the input elements involved in the form submit, then use UIViewRoot#findComponent() to get the component by client ID and finally determine if it is an instance of UICommand.

Use of JSF Phase Listener?

There are many many examples of how to 'access' the six phases of the JSF Life Cycle.
I have a simple page that has two input text fields and one command button.
I would like to be able to access the contents of the text fields on the page in Phase 2 (APPLY REQUEST VALUES), or other phases. After quite a bit of time I am posting this in the hopes that someone could point me in the correct direction to do this or perhaps someone has a simple example.
Thanks - Casey

Code for phase listener, backing bean and output are at the bottom of this note.
The text field has a Id property of lname. I assume you are referring about using findComponent() against the backing bean that has a corresponding property (RichInputText) for the text field?
When I run the app I am getting a null for the objReference for the backing bean (line 16 in the output) - see output which then causes a NullPointerException.
Suggestions on how to get the reference to the backing bean, or the component that will contain the data for the input text field?
Thanks again - Casey

ADF:How to use NavigationHandler in Phase-Listener with adfc-config.xml

Hi,
in our application a user should be navigated to the login-page, when he tries to navigate directly to a page where he has no right for or if the session is expired.
Our navigation is complete in the adfc-config.xml. So I created a phase-listener, which is called by the adf-settings.xml.
Inside the phase-listener I'm checking the rights. If the user doesn't have the needed rights, he should be linked to the login page. But how can I do that?
Some days ago our navigation has been complete in the faces-config.xml. But now we moved the navigation to the adfc-config.xml, because we are sure that it's better. E.g. for using the dialog framework.
In the face-config.xml we had also the call of the phase-listener. There we did the forwarding like this and it worked:
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
facesContext.getApplication().getNavigationHandler().handleNavigation(facesContext, null, "login_page");But now I think I have to use the ADFContext somehow, or?
So how can I do that with the adfc-config.xml?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Bastian
I'm using JDeveloper 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0)

Hello Frank,
thanks for your answer, but it doesn't really help me, because I'm a newbie, sorry.
Does your answer mean, that I should leave the call of the phase-listener in the faces-config and then I would also have access to the login-page, which is in the adfc-config?
Or does it mean, that I call now my phase-listener by adf-settings but don't have to change the phase-listener itself and can still use my code (FacesContext...)? But that's not working. I get no error but he is also not redirecting.
Maybe my problem starts on an earlier point.
Is it better to create all pages in the adfc-config or faces-config? (Maybe you have a good reference for reading about such a basic discussion)
I thought adfc-config would be the better one. But there I'm not able to redirect to another page (login) if somebody calls a special page without rights for example.
So my second basic question would be about the relation of adfc-config, faces-config and ADFContext and FacesContext.
Because I think it's not a short answer I hope you could give me also for this a reference so that I can read these basics myself.
Thanks a lot for helping a newbie becoming better :-)

Oracle Workflow Manager, Agent Listener, and Java Mailer problem

Hi,
I am not sure this topic to this forum, since this might be installation issue.
But I am hitting a big wall.
I had Windows 2000 SP4.
I have already installed Oracle Database 10gR1, Oracle Developer 10gR2, and Oracle Workflow 2.6.3 Standalone previously.
Including :
- Oracle Workflow Server 2.6.3
- Oracle Workflow Builder 2.6.3.5
- Apache HTTP Server 9.0.4
- Workflow Middle Tier
Anything seems to right, including the Notification Mailer and the Business Event.
And I had also made backup of them surely.
Now,
I'd like to change into Oracle Database 10gR2 because :
1. Some errors I found when I tried to call a Report from Oracle Form.
Unable to connect to Report Server ...
I thought Oracle Database 10gR1 is not suitable for Oracle Developer 10gR2.
2. And in the OWF 2.6.3 Workflow Home Page, there was no Logout button (which I found in OWF 2.6.4)
I removed my previous installation including Oracle Workflow.
After strugglineg in the installation of Oracle Database 10gR2, now I am facing another problem with Oracle Workflow.
I succesfully installed Oracle Workflow 2.6.4 Server and Oracle Workflow Manager (standalone version),
and the Oracle Workflow Middle Tier.
After I launch Oracle Workflow Configuration Assisstant, everthing seems to be normal.
I succed to open the Oracle Workflow Home Page (and found the Logout button there)
Next, I tried to navigate to the Oracle Workflow Manager.
1. I start the OC4J_Workflow_Management_Container --> initialized
2. OC4J_Workflow_Component_Container
The following error line appeared in the OC4J command prompt
06/05/26 10:31:40 LOG_ID_UNKNOWN : oracle.apps.fnd.cp.gsc.Logger.Logger(String,
int) : Logging to System.out until necessary parameters are retrieved for Logger

06/05/26 10:33:57 Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE 10g (9.0.4.1.0)
initialized
3. finally it initialized
Next I tried to go to Oracle Workflow Manager from related link of Enterprise Manager
It is said that the OWF_MGR is locked
(I surprised since I had UNLOCKED the OWF_MGR after the installation and succeed to login at the Workflow Home Page)
And the following error line appeared in the commaned prompt after that
06/05/26 10:35:03 OrionCMTConnection not closed, check your code!
06/05/26 10:35:03 Logical connection not closed, check your code!
06/05/26 10:35:03 (Use -Djdbc.connection.debug=true to find out where the leaked
connection was created)
4. I re-UNLOCK the OWF_MGR and login to Oracle Workflow Manager
I noticed that the Agent Listener and Notification Service is Unavailable
(In OWF 2.6.3, The Agent Listener was started and Notification Service was waiting to be configured)
I tried to start one of the Agent Listener, but the following error appeared
ERROR: The Service Component Container is not running
Well, I had the same problem when installing the OWF 2.6.3
I tried to uninstall (remove) and re-install it like I had done before in OWF 2.6.3
(based on someone's post in Oracle's forum)
But this time, the re-installation won't fix this problem. (It was succeed in the OWF 2.6.3)
Everytime I start the OC4J, using wfmgrstart.bat and wfsvcstart.bat
the OWF_MGR is re-LOCKED(TIME) automatically.
And the servlet (WFALSNRSVC and WFMLRSVC) are not running.
I am worry, since I cannot use the Notification Mailer if this problem had not fixed yet.
(In OWF 2.6.3, the mailer was not available until those servlet is Started)
Sorry for the long post.
Any help would be grateful.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

Hi,
Finally, I have found the solution.
Step :
1. Start all of the Oracle Service, except for the OC4J
If you have already started OC4J, then stop them
Unlocked the <wf_manager_user>
2. Search in your Oracle Home : data-sources.xml
There should be two files,
one is in the ...\OC4J_Workflow_Component_Container\application-deployments\WFALSNRSVCApp
the other is in ...\OC4J_Workflow_Component_Container\application-deployments\WFMLRSVCApp
3. Make sure, you create back up of them.
4. Replace the following line
password="->pwForOwfMgr"
with
password="<your_wf_manager_password>",
should be look like this
password="a"
5. Now start the OC4J using wfmgrstart.bat and wfsvcstart.bat
6. Next, login to the Oracle Workflow Manager
This worked for me.
Hope this will help someone who has the same problem.
Buntoro

Trouble with Phase Listener?

I am having a problem getting my page beans' "init", "preprocess" and "prerender" methods to fire. My page beans are inherited from "com.sun.jsfcl.app.AbstractPageBean" which do have these methods defined. From what I've found, it appears that my problem is a lack of a "phase-listener" in my faces-config.xml file. How should this be configured? If I put in:
<lifecycle>
<phase-listener>com.sun.jsfcl.app.AbstractPageBean</phase-listener>
</lifecycle>
I get an error that the phase listener can't be instantiated (which makes sense, it is abstract). How do I configure my application so that the "init", "preprocess" and "prerender" methods fire?
Thanks,
Lonnie

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. This is not JSF specific.
Maybe you're using some additional JSF component library which offers this stuff. I guess that it is Woodstock again. In any way, you should consult the documentation which come along with the component library for answers on this kind of questions.

Right Ajax component library to use with netbeans

Hi,
I am using netbeans for my jsf development. I downloaded the Blueprint Ajax Component and Dynamic
Faces for Ajax Functionality. I am looking for functionality where i can update a Panelgroup with new
UI components without refreshing the whole page. Is it possible to do this with Dynamic Faces ? Is there a different Ajax library that i can use with netbeans that would provide this functionality ?
Thanks

Hi,
as far as I remember, Tobago is not compatible with JSF 1.2. I worked with Oracle's ADF over a year ago and I remember, that we had some compatibility problems. And if I also recall correctly, Trinidad is the "JSF compatible" version of ADF. ADF was donated by Oracle to the Apache foundation and is now called "Trinidad". You can use both "MyFaces" and "Trinidad" components within the same webapp. That should give you enough components to work with.
Hope, that helps.
Cheers,
Joerg

APEX Listener and EPG - strange behaviour

Hi
For some years, I've used EPG for APEX but have struggled with performance particularly as I can have up to 150 student developers using at any one time.
I do a fair amount of work using ORDImage and have successfully developed APEX applications to upload image files and display full-size and thumbnail images.
After upgrading to APEX 4.1 (from 4.0), I decided to install APEX Listener standalone.
Before I did so I checked that my applications still worked in 4.1 and they did.
However, just installing APEX Listener but not configuring it (yet) has meant that my image display in a report using a procedure based on wpg_docload.download_file( l_ordimage_image.source.localData ) no longer works in EPG - the images are not displayed.
Configuring APEX Listener and running the same application through that DOES display the images.
So this part of the application works under APEX Listener but not under EPG.
My application also allows users to upload images from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES using standard code. Under APEX Listener after uploading, I'm left with a blank page with a wwv_flow.accept URL although the image does indeed upload. Under EPG it works as expected and I get a success confirmation.
So this part of the application works under EPG but not under APEX Listener.
Has anyone else come across different behaviour depending on the mode of connection?
Thanks
Brian
[Oracle EE 11gR2, Windows Server 2008R2, APEX 4.1, APEX Listener 1.1.3]

Hi Brian,
it sounds like you have both EPG and APEX Listener running on the same machine, so your problem might result from a port conflict. Note that both services use TCP port 8080 as default.
At least a port conflict would explain the strange behaviour in your case, some things working on one web server and some on the other.
Some parts of your initial post hint to that direction, e.g.
However, just installing APEX Listener but not configuring it (yet) has meant that my image display in a report using a procedure based on >wpg_docload.download_file( l_ordimage_image.source.localData ) no longer works in EPG - the images are not displayed.... because the APEX Listener only interfere with the EPG if it is at least running on the same machine as your database and furthermore, if it is unconfigured in terms of ist database connection, a port conflict might be the only way it could cause anything like that.
However, if you are sure that's not the issue, please check if you see any error in the APEX Listener's log for the following action you performed:
My application also allows users to upload images from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES using standard code. Under APEX Listener after uploading, I'm left with a blank >page with a wwv_flow.accept URL although the image does indeed uploadIf you actually see just a blank screen, something very bad must have happened and you should see some kind of stack trace there.
For further investigations, if necessary, it would be helpful to know how you deployed or started your APEX Listener and which JDK version you use.
For the moment, I still think the port conflict is my best guess.
You could avoid it by either changing the port for EPG (I'd not recommend that if you have other users still using it) or by changing the port for your APEX Listener.
