BC4J JSP and XHTML

I would like to use (Struts-based) JSP for Business Components in a project where I have to generate XHTML.
The BC4J tag library generates attribute values which contain the ampersand character ("&"). For example, the UrlEvent-Tag generates URLs with HTML-parameters separated by the ampersand character.
But this is not XHTML conform (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/ section C.12). Ampersands used in a document that are to be treated as literal characters must be expressed themselves as an entity reference (e.g. "&")
Is there a chance to change this in future releases? We would need this change very quickly. Otherwise we cannot use BC4J in our project.

Michael,
Thank you for your report.
I filed a bug against the BC4J tag library to support XHTML. Bug 2645909.
This will be fix in a future release.
Meanwhile your options are:
1) Not using the UrlEvent tag and build the url using the JboEvent, JboEventVo, jboRowKey, amId and currentPath parameters.
2) Extend the current UrlEvent tag implementation to provide this functionality.
The sources is provided for all these tags. You can open it from JDev when asking for the class "oracle.jbo.html.jsp.datatags.UrlEventTag" or look into <JDEV_HOME>\BC4J\src\bc4jhtmlsrc.zip for UrlEventTag.java.

Integration of JSP and xhtml in jsf project

Can we use both jsp and xhtml in single jsf project. Actually I encountered a problem while configuring jsp and xhtml in web.xml of jsf project. The web.xml configuration file allows to use only one view handler (jsp or xhtml).By default it use jsp view handler. For xhtml view handler, we need to define following context param -:
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX</param-name>
<param-value>.xhtml</param-value>
</context-param>
Please let me know any possibility to configure both jsp and xhtml in jsf project(web.xml).
My actual requirement is that I need to forward to new page(xhtml) from an xhtml page without using faces-config. I am not able to find any facelets tags which let me forward to new xhtml page. So I am thinking to use jsp to exploit the jsp tag called forward. But the constraint is that we can use only one view handler with jsf project.

If i configure like this, i am not able to work with jsp file.
So, how to configure web.xml file to work with both jsp and xhtml file.
Thanks,

Hi Sam,
To Use properties file you need to keep the properties file in a location and in the code you need to mention the path from where it should read in the runtime.
Fuego.Io.PropertiesFile propfile;
propfile.load(fileName : "<Path: C:/sample.properties>"); //Path: Place the properties file in the respective directory/drive and mention the path
String val = propfile.get(key : "One"); //One - is the key against which the value should be mentioned in the properties file like <One = 1>. It should return 1
logMessage("Value: " + val);
To use the Enum in your project first create a Module in your catalogue component and then right click on module create New Enumeration say ProcessStatus
Uncheck the Is Sequential if you want to keep key/value as pair. Click on add +* and mention the Name and Value say ABORTED as Name and Value as Aborted. To use it in your project conditional path write the condion as somevariable == String(ProcessStatus.ABORTED)
Hope this will help you.

BC4J JSP and EnterKey event

Hi, I had a web search application with "search" submit button linked with JboEvent defined by DatahandlerComponent.jsp as "search" event.
It is not UIX or Strut, just JSP and BC4C.
How can I let user use browser
Enter key instead of the "Search" button to perform the same search function?
Any suggestions or ideas.
Thanks in advance.

UIX-JSP vs. BC4J-JSP wizard based question

In BC4J-UIX wizard based forms there exists a button to Insert new rows. In the UIX-JSP wizard based forms there is not. Is this an option I overlooked somewhere or does this need to be hand coded? Detailed instructions on how to implemnt the Insert row capability in UIX-JSP are appreciated.

Ed. Ed -
I'm a bit confused by your reference to the BC4J-UIX and UIX-JSP wizards. There is a 'new' link in wizard-generated
BC4J JSPs and a 'Create' button in wizard-generated UIX JSP browse/edit forms. Is this what you mean?

What is the best way of deploying a jsp and bc4j aplication

In the page I simply referenced the facescontext directly... no need for a custom servlet.
public void createcookie() {
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletResponse resp = (HttpServletResponse)fc.getExternalContext().getResponse();
Cookie userCookie = new Cookie("cookiename", "cookievalue");
userCookie.setMaxAge(-1);
userCookie.setMaxAge(3600);
resp.addCookie(userCookie);
return null;
public String readcookie() {
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext ec = fc.getExternalContext();
Map cookiemap = ec.getRequestCookieMap();
if (cookiemap != null) {
Cookie cookie = (Cookie) cookiemap.get("cookievalue");
return cookievalue;
For reference I could not get getCookies() method of HttpServletRequest to work.. it would only return JSESSIONID.

JSP and BC4J archithecture

Hi,
Anyone can help me to choose a archithecture to build a

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply.
In the Emp form, it would look like:
Emp Name, Emp BirthDate, ... Dept No.
I would like a list available on the Dept No item (field), which lists the DEPT records when insert/create a new EMP record, i.e. this list helps to fill the DEPTNO instead of typing the key, like 1234, manually. Would Jdev do it for me? or I have to manually code this after I get the code from "new->Web-tier->jsp4BizComponents->CompleteJSP Application"
Thanks

I had very similar problems with adding the correct JDeveloper .jar files to Tomcat's lib folder, but did eventually resolve my issues.
The problem I am having now, however, is the following error message:
Error Message: oracle.jbo.html.RequestParameters.addParameter(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)V
Yes, I have deployed the bc4jhtml.jar file from JDeveloper to Tomcat\common\lib!
My web-app is a very simple BC4J JSP application. I have one BC4J component in its own project and JAR file, and one JSP referencing that BC4J component - I deploy the BC4J JAR along with the WAR file from the JSP project. Needless to say, the JSP works fine within JDeveloper..!
I'm using JDev 9.0.3 and Tomcat 4.1.12. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
S.

BC4J, JSP, Apache: Deployment to web-inf

I'm trying to deploy a BC4J JSP application to a web-inf directory. In other words I'm using the OracleJSP extensions that support the globals.jsa application/session context.
When I place my application's BC4J jar file in the \approot\web-inf\lib directory it doesn't work. When I try a simple app with no BC4J its works. ie. My JSP works and it can load classes from both \approot\web-inf\classes and \approot\web-inf\lib\??.jar.
If I place the application BC4J jar file in \approot\web-inf\lib it can't find files such as \bc4jpackage\common\bc4j.xcfg. Therefore I think OracleJSP will load classes from \web-inf but because its not really in the JServ classpath BC4J wont find any other files.
Anyone tried this? Is there a workaround?

Hi,
I am yet another victim of the age-old error JBO:33001 bc4j.xcfg file not found in class path, When i have my BC4JApp.jar in Tomcat Web-inf/lib directory. All the other jar files and class files in my webserver-application web-inf classes and lib directory works.
But Tomcat server is not able to read this bc4j.xcfg file. I can see in my jar file that this bc4j.xcfg exists and in the specified package directory. still the problem persists. My BC4JApp.jar is perfectly working when i use JDeveloper. but not when i use tomcat4.0 and call a JSP using BC4JApp.jar from browser (My environment is Jdeveloper3.2, Tomcat4.0+IIS in middle tier and oracle 8i as DB, everything on windows2k)
I have gone through almost all the threads possible that relates to this error in this form. None of them have a answer except to say "put the file in classpath". and last reply is "will fix in jDeveloper 9i. So what happens to us who are working in Jdeveloper 3.2?
1. I have this file in my jar file.
2. I also tried creating a seperate directory manually, with the same name as my package under web-inf/classes, web-inf/lib , just under web-inf directory and atlast under approot directory also. I tried having my package directory containing bc4j.xcfg in these folders one at a time and also tried having this directory in all these folders at the same time.
Still no solution.
Itz frustrating that neither proper documentation nor a right url page nor i am aware of available addressing this. page links given in above threads only gives me the wonderful page of ie's "Page cannot be displayed".
Is there a answer to this error and my problem. If this doesn't work, then i have to all the way develop from scratch creating my jsp using JDBC calls and Stored packages etc.
I don't want to give up on this Jdeveloper at this final moment because if this bc4j.xcfg file is found, my application will work perfectly. on these final moments, if this doesn't work, i am frightened to imagine to develop my application in standard way. Atlast, if thatz the option left,we have to do that bcos our production date is close by.
Please can some one in this forum or Jdeveloper help me to solve this problem. I am desperate and very urgent.
Waiting for a reply from Jdev team very much...
Thanks

Running a BC4J JSP application for Oracle Lite on OC4J

Hi,
My BC4J JSP application is working with Oracle and Oracle Lite on Apache (Oracle 8i Personal Edition) and on Tomcat 3.2. The same BC4J's could be used from the BC4J Tester as well.
But if I run the application on OC4J (standalone and embedded in JDeveloper 9i RC1 and RC2) using Oracle Lite, a Fatal Internal Error (or with JDK1.2 a NullPointerException) occurs.
I think I found the reason:
1. the Java Trigger in Oracle Lite and
2. the Timestamp used in Oracle Lite instead of Date.
My problem is, that I can't find any information about configuration of OC4J so that it could work with Oracle Lite as well as Apache and Tomcat.
Claudia

The tell tale sign that the application is communicating with the running cache server is the membership information that is logged. In your previous running of the example you would have "members=1" embedded in the logging. From the sounds of what you are doing, you'd expect this to be different as the application would be joining a running instance. Check out section 1.3 of this doc on the system you are using.

1. At what step in the tutorial did you see this error?the link to the web page would be http://otn.oracle.com/jdeveloper/help/topic?inOHW=true&file=jar%3Afile% (basically, at the end of autocreating the page and running oc4j (embedded) to see the JSP
2. Are you running on a deployed environment?No. This was as the tutorial, in the embedded oc4j
3. What version of JDev/ OC4J are you using?oracle IDE version is 9.0.2.829
4. Did your BC4J project compile cleanly?yes (or at least it appeared to do!)
5. Did you check the Deploy Password box when you created your database connection?yes.
I shall be reading up on the bc4j.xcfg today...
Thanks for the help

Error Deploying a BC4J JSP Application on IAS

Gina,
I would recommend checking out the following HowTo's recently posted on OTN by the JDev Team. They may indicate where your problem is occuring and how to fix it:
Set up your Webserver to run BC4J: http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum2/HTML/006397.html
Deploy a BC4J JSP Application on iAS and Tomcat: http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum2/HTML/006398.html
How to Deploy Multiple BC4J JSP Web Apps to the same Webserver: http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum2/HTML/006726.html
Note, if you are deploying on iAS, the Online Orders tutorial application comes with that release, so you might want to refer to the last HowTo to make sure your webserver is set up to handle multiple apps, even if one if them isn't yours!

JDeveloper 903 BC4J JSP Layout Customerization

BC4J is so powerful that enabled me to built an application in minutes. I used the JDeveloper903 this week built a BC4J JSP Application pulling data from a single table on Oracle9i
and wanted display the search summary result's lables and their corresponding data fields in a html table in the following ways:
record 1
Lable1 data 1
Lable2 data 2
Lable3 data 3
record 2
Lable1 data 1
Lable2 data 2
Lable3 data 3
Not the default way:
Lable1, lable2, lable3
data1 data2 data3
data1 data2 data3
data1 data2 data3
Also need a link to its detail page from data1.
How can I customerize the layout based on the existing application or I have to re-build the application with new design?
Any sample can show me step by steps?
Appreciate your ideas!

Is "Inserting BC4J Data Tags from the JDSP Data Binding Tool" in the JDeveloper903 the right direction to go?
Thanks

Deployment of BC4J JSP in Java web Server2.0

I'm presently trying to deploy a BC4j Jsp into the Java Webserver , I have copied all the class , java and the JSP files in the JWS2.0 , but the error I get is as follows :
Package oracle.jbo.* not found in import ,
Package javax.naming.* not found in import ,
Package oracle.jdeveloper.html.* not found in import etc.
I tried to copy all the JDeveloper class files in the JWS2.0 but no luck ,but here I was able to deploy sucessfully an simple jsp application using a session bean.
Secondly, I'm not able to use the internal web server of JDeveloper3.0 to run my JSP's , if I try to run, the browser is not able to contact the port no. 7070 and it gives an TCP error / connection error.
Please also suggest how to include the Jdbc driver in the classpath.
Thanks in advance ,
regards,
Ekta

Please see the online help for deploying JSP web applications. The instructions are under User Guides, Developing Web Applications, Developing JSPs and Servlets...
There are a number of dependency archives that need to be deployed to your webserver in order for the BC4J JSPs to run correctly.
IF you look at the Project Properties for your JSP project, you will see a number of them such as Connection Manager, ORacl e8.1.5 JDBC, etc. EAch of these libraries is based on one or more .jar or .zip files which need to be present in your webserver.
Which ones you deploy somewhat depends on how you have deployed your Business Components app module. The online help provides more details.
The Oracle JDBC classes are all located in <JDEV_HOME>/jdbc/lib/oraclex.x.x/classes111.zip. Where x.x.x is the version of the drivers. 8.1.5 is the default in JDev 2. and 3.0.

Can a BC4J-JSP App live within a Portlet

I've read the posts AND the docs AND still do not have a clear idea if a BC4J-JSP application can live within Portal. I DO NOT WANT to click on a link from Portal and open a * NEW * window, I want the BC4J App to be contained within the Portal.
Can anyone from Oracle Portal answer this **** AND *** can you show a working example of a BC4J application. HelloWorld.jsp is not a multi-page application.
Thanks,
Bill G...

Hi Bill,
1. Yes, you can access the userid from your partner app.
2. Do you want to make your code appear on a portal page, and re-render it within the portlet container, rather than have your application replace the portal page? If this is what your question is, then:
a) You may run your app in an iframe as Subramanyam has recommended. The first issue with this: ns 4.x doesn't support it. The second one, the request is sent to your app from the browser iframe, it doesn't go through the parallel page engine, thus your application is not being cached along with the page. Also, end users can't access a particular page of your application, they can only bookmark the portal page, which will always display the initial page of your application.
b) You can run your app as it is, taking advantage of the renderers of PDK, capable to render JSPs. In this case, you need to modify your code, at least the links and forms, so that the portal page URL is used as the target url (extra parameters appended to it, or implemented in hidden fields).
You find a sample portlet (Flights of Fancy External Application) implemented as a partner application in the PDK.
This is a PDK article worth to check out: Using PDK-Java to Integrate a Partner Application with Oracle9iAS Portal (V2)
And finally, you find the Administration Guide, the Appliation Developre's Guide, and the API Reference in the Oracle9iAS Documentation Library under Oracle9iAS Single Sign-On on the Management and Security tab.
