Beehive NetUi Tags and Controls in Workshop 10.1!

Hi,
I have a question, whenever I tried to create a Beehive netui and controls project on workshop studio, it asks me for the WSL 10.1 runtime, it means Beehive netui tags and controls are dependent on WLS runtime, if I do not have WLS runtime installed in workshop runtimes, I can not use beehive netui and controls in my project. So, it means, it is only weblogic specific implementation in Workshop, I tried with other containers runtime like JBoss and it did not work. Is there any way I can implement beehive netui tags and controls that is an open source using Workshop on other application containers without WLS run time? If someone tested this kind of scenario and developed some applications and had some hands-on experience, please respond to my question. I will greatly appreciate any comment and/or help.
Thanks,
-Gary Hassan

Hi Gary,
The Beehive tooling features available in Workshop are currently only supported with a WebLogic 9.2 or 10.x Runtime.
However, regarding your question on using Beehive runtime classes with a non WLS runtime, there is documentation available on the Apache site on building and running against a Tomcat server. In this case, you will need to add the beehive library jar as any other party jar instead of using the beehive facets and library modules.

Netui tags and illegal Javascript names - workaround?

I'm trying to use the netui tags and tie reference the netui generated names. For example, these look like:
portlet_2_3{actionForm.customerGroup}
but this is not a legal Javascript name because of the curly braces. Is there a way around this?

Hi
havent tried it, but you wouldnt be adding a netui tag, you would be adding a textbox whose name would be exactly like the generated name if you had the netui tag in the jsp
i.e. add the textbox with name <portletInstance>{actionForm.fieldName[1]}
where portletInstance is obtained dynamically. i guess the property would have to be mapped as an array type on the form bean

Problem loading variables and controls in Workshop 8.1 (Beta) Palettes

Hi All,
I am getting problem in loading variables and control in the Workshop Data and
Control Palette at times when I open the application. The Workshop interface shows
the variable at times and does not show up at all on another instance. Let me
know if anybody else has faced a similar problem or not

Akshay,

Netui tags and javascript

          Hello Gang, not sure if anyone has run into this issue, but here it goes.
          I got a netui:form with netui:checkboxes that I need to have a specific type of
          functionality.
          The first netui:checkbox when checked calls a javascript function that enables
          the remaining netui:checkboxes so that the user can check them.
          Except the first netui:checkbox, all other netui:checkboxes need to be disabled
          at run time and then enabled once the first check box is checked, below is the
          code I got thus far, can't get the diable/enable part to work for the netui tags.
          (Keep in mind that this works well with regular html checkbox tag and javascript)
          The following code wont generate javascript errors.
          It's not doing anything in terms of enabling/disabling the netui:checkboxes.
          <script language="javascript">
          function checkBoxDisable()

NetUI tags and calendar popups

Does anybody have an example of a simple calendar popup that can work with NetUI
tags. I downloaded a couple different solutions from the net and they work fine
when I use simple html form tags, however don't seem to work if I use the netui
tags.
Thanks!
Kunal

use the netui tagID
<netui:form tagId="aForm" >
<netui:textbox datasource="{actionForm.firstname}" tagId="firstName">
then
alert(document.forms[getNetuiTagName("aForm",this)][getNetuiTagName("firstName",this)].value)

Netui tags - ADA Compliance

I've run into a situation with netui tags that I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on. Before we release apps here, they're checked for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The folks that do this checking asked that my app have <label> tags for all my form fields with a "for=" attribute that matches an "id=" attribute in the input tag, like the following:
          <label for="xyz">Select location</label>
          <select name=setting_key id="xyz">
          </select>
          I think having these tags help screen readers to read the screens or something. My problem is that the netui tags don't offer the id attribute. I've ripped out most of my netui tags and replaced them with standard html tags, but for a radio button, I can't get it to work. My netui tags that work look like this:
          <netui-data:repeater dataSource="{pageFlow.addrArray}">
          <netui-data:repeaterItem>
          <netui:radioButtonGroup dataSource="{actionForm.addressid}">
          < netui:radioButtonOption value="{container.item.addressID}" />
          </netui:radioButtonGroup>
          </netui-data:repeaterItem>
          </netui-data:repeater>
          I've tried several varations on something like this:
          <input type="radio" name="{actionForm.addressid}" value="{container.item.addressID}" id="addrid">
          Anyone have any ideas?
          Thanks.

NetUI tags

All -
I am very new to Java and WebLogic and WL Workshop. I would like to use WLW
if possible. One concern my boss has is vender lockin. I know a lot of the
stuff that WLW produces is standards based. Are the NetUI tag libraries BEA
specific or could I use them and port my app to TomCat, etc?
Thank you for your help,
Marshall

Marshall--
There are two parts to this answer.
For 8.1 SP2, we have shipped a binary compatibility kit that includes many of the NetUI tags
(excluding the ones that run only on WebLogic). This is available here:
http://dev2dev.bea.com/technologies/standards/standards_pageflow_portability_index.jsp
It uses an XDoclet compiler to compile .jpf files into a .class and struts-config.xml file. While
not open source, it allows many JPF applications to run on other Servlet 2.3 containers.
Going forward, NetUI is part of the Beehive effort which will open source the Workshop
Application Framework (NetUI + Controls + Web Service Metadata), and Beehive will run on Tomcat.
This effort includes many of the NetUI tags (again, those that don't depend on WebLogic RowSets, for
example). You can read more about Beehive here:
http://dev2dev.bea.com/technologies/beehive/index.jsp
Hope that helps...

Porting a netui pageflow project from BEA Workshop into JDeveloper 11g

Hi.
Now that BEA and Oracle has merged and JDeveloper ships with Weblogic server instead of ye olde oc4j, I thought that netui pageflow projects developed in BEA Workshop/Workspace studio would be a breeze to port to JDev. This does not seem to be the case. I've googled til my eyes got sore, without any luck. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Beehive Netui package was once developed by BEA, then given to Apache, then taken back into BEA's control. When I read that JDeveloper should be the IDE for BEA/Oracle from now on, I thought that this would mean that it would also be compatible with BEA projects.
If it is at all possible, how do I go about porting my Hibernate/Spring/Beehive NetUi PageFlow workshop project to run under JDeveloper/Weblogic?
I've found this article: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/1013/w4wljdev/workshopandjdev.html?rssid=rss_otn_news
But still no luck enabling Beehive Netui support for my pageflows in JDeveloper.
Edited by: Øystein_Amundsen on Oct 31, 2008 12:57 PM

There is no current plan to enable Beehive (e.g. NetUI) specific features in JDeveloper.
The beehive development environment is still inside WebLogic Workshop and you can get the latest version here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/workshop/index.html
It might be possible to do development with Beehive in JDeveloper by adding the beehive jar files into your project properties->libraries node.
That said - I would recommend that you look into Oracle ADF as an alternative framework for your development - it has a lot of similar concepts to Beehive but it is more up-to-date and has better features in many areas.
Read more about it here:

Removing NetUI Facets and Upgrading JSF

Even though 11g has promoted the use of JSF and talked of deprecating the NetUI, the facets and frameworks for 10gR3 are littered with NetUI dependencies.
Creating a Web Portal Project gives you the capabilities to use JSF 1.2, but doing this requires you to select JSTL 1.2 and Dynamic Web Modules 2.5, but deselect WebLogic Control Extensions, Beehive NetUI, Beehive Controls, Portal Customizations Framework, Portal Framework, Portal Visitor Tools, and WSRP Producer. Not sure why upgrading to the newer (obviously not the newest version of the API), requires removing all these dependent frameworks.
How will disabling all these project facets effect my Portal project? Are the specific things that I will not be able to take advantage of?
It just doesn't make sense to use a product like WebLogic Portal 10gR3 (released within this year) and then downgrade JSF to version 1.1 just so I can use NetUI...that sounds totally backward thinking.
Thanks...jay

The forthcoming 11g version of the WLP product will include better support for JSF 1.2 in portal web projects, and remove the hard dependency on Beehive Netui and Controls.
In WLP 10gR3 (10.3.0), you can use JSF 1.2 -- it just requires a bit of manual setup. Please see http://download.oracle.com/technology/products/weblogic/portal/weblogic-portal-jsf-whitepaper.pdf. There are instructions (Section 4.4) on how to setup your project in Workshop to utilize JSF 1.2 in a portal-enabled web project.

Including NetUI tags with jspf files

Hello
I'm trying to clean up my jsp code by putting some of it into .jspf
files. But apparently this include means that my netUI tags are rendered
at text and not interpretated.
Is this how it should be?, can one only put pure HTML into .jspf files?
Oliver Billing

Hey Vimala
Found out why it dosent work. Its because I use the danish letters ???
Example:
<td><netui:label
value="{pageFlow.st?vne.DRFSt?vne.overst?vne.navn}"></netui:label></td>
The above is rendered as text when included in a jspf file.
<netui:label value="{pageFlow.ekvipage.hest.navn}"></netui:label>
The above works (same file)
So its actually a bug :-)

Hi Oliver
How are you including the jspf file into the jsp's?
If you use <jsp:include> tag then it will not be executed.
Do NOT do this way:
<jsp:include page="/jspf/sample.jspf"/>
However, in this way it should works fine:
<%@include file="/jspf/sample.jspf"%>
Can you please try and check if this works?
Thanks
Vimala
Some more technical info:
There is a fundamental difference between the include directive <%@ include %> and <jsp:include >
The <%@ include %> tag includes the file at translation/compile time. It is like copying and pasting the contents of the "fragment" into the main JSP. It is then translated, compiled and run.
The <jsp:include> tag includes the result of running that page at execution time. ie it is as if you made a web request to that URL, and pasted the response you got back into the response of the including page.
What does this mean in your case?
1 - a .jspf file will not be evaluated by <jsp:include>. If you make a request for the jspf file directly, it will send you the source, because it doesn't invoke the JSP servlet on jspf files.
Solution: change the file to sample.jsp, and it should include ok or use @include

A list of inputs using netui tags

Hi all,
we have a family of netui problems which occur quite frequently.
The main problem is: what to do when we have a list of items (we don't
now how many), and we want to display them, and get some input from the
user.
1. The simplest form, when the user only has to select one, is ok: we
create a list of netui:anchor -s, with parameters, or we use a
netui:select (but even in this case we don't know what to do if the name
and the key of the items are different).
2. The user should choose more then one item.
a) We tried to use netui:select multiple=true. It renders fine, but we
can't get the results properly. If the user selects only one item,
it's ok, we can get it with a String field in the actionform. But if the
user selects more items, then we can't catch them.
We tried with String and List fields, but none of them worked (they
contained null).
b)It is more complicated, if we also want to display some attributes of
the items, like:
<checkBox> name1 description1 other attribute1
<checkBox> name2 description2 other attribute1
<checkBox> name3 description3 other attribute1
3. The user should enter some text or number for each item
e.g. (quite similar to 2.b)
name1 description1 <input type='text'/>
name2 description2 <input type='text'/>
name3 description3 <input type='text'/>
For 2.b) and 3) we have a workaround: we don't use netui:checbox or
netui:textfield, but manually construct input boxes. The names of the
boxes are the same that would be created by netui tags (e.g.
{actionForm.input[1]}), so when the user submits the form the framework
thinks that they were normal netui stuff and fills the actionForm with
their data.
4. The user can create a list on the fly, so he/she can even add more
elements to the list. We can do it with a submit per new item method,
but it would be better if could do it on the client side, and the user
would click on submit only when he finished editing. e.g.:
we want discounts in a tiered fashion: when the user buys at least 10
pieces of a product, he gets 10%, more then 100 means 15%, and more then
1000 means 20%. But it shouldn't be a fixed list, the administrator
should be able to create as many ranges as he wants. It looks like this:
Limit Discount
<input1_L> <input1_D>
<input2_L> <input2_D>
<add more button>
On the client side we can create the input boxes dynamically, with
proper names, so the system will know which field(s) of the actionform
we try to set. The problem is that when he submits the form, we get
IndexOutOfBoundsException, since the field of the actionForm doesn't
contain enough space for the items. Of course, we can initialize the
field in the reset() method of the actionform, but at this time we don't
know how many elements will it store.
We checked the docs, samples, and the bea newsgroups, but couldn't find
solutions to these questions (We have seen some similar questions in the
newsgroups, so it seems other people also have some of these problems).
I hope I described them clearly and you will be able to find ways to
solve (at least some of ) them.

ID3 tags and Nee

Sorry if this has been asked before or is really obvious :P
I have a Zen Neeon and the currently playing song appears on the screen as only a title. There is no artist. All my songs are tagged with ID3 v and 2. The only way I can get the player to scroll Artist - Title is by removing all ID3 tags and having the filename be Artist - Title.mp3 (it does not display the .mp3 extension when playing a track). Is this the way it works? I was under the impression from the FAQs and a little snooping that Zens could read ID3 tags? Obviously they can because it gets the track title information out fine, but not the artist. Is there a simple option I'm missing?
Edit: .0 firmware and using Winamp to edit my ID3 tags, put the songs on the player by drag and drop in ExplorerMessage Edited by SR on 08-3-2006 03:53 PM

Hey, first of all, thanks for your help, but I'm still in problems.
I have noticed that itunes imports the music files before I alter the ID3 tags (from backup files). However, as soon as I try to add the same file to my itunes library after I have edited the ID3 file (via windows itself), itunes does not add the file to its library anymore. This is happening to a considerable amount of my music. When I try to play the same files in windows mediaplayer, they play without a problem, so I guess the problem is with itunes.
Somebody can please help me out, because I like to be in control of my music, and not itunes,

I have tried different wsdls simple and complex and still getting the same error. What could be the problem? Is it a bug or my misconfiguration? Has anybody succeded to generate service control in workshop 9.0 and above?

Did you also get a CrashWeb dialog?

Include In Head adaptive Tag and Webcenter Default CSS questions

Hello I'm fairly new to Webcenter
I`m currently working on a project that`s requiring us to do a lot of customizing of Templates and Stylesheets changes, I have a couple of questions I was hoping someone might be able to help me with.
1) I want to inject some code into the page header of all webcenter pages. I understand that there is an adaptive tag "includeinhead", documented here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13174_01/alui/devdoc/docs60/Portlets/Adaptive_Portlets/Using_Adaptive_Tags/plumtreedevdoc_integration_portlets_adaptive_namespacetoken.htm
This works, for the most part. However, for IE I would like to include the 'ie shim' which fixes behaviours for IE (adding things like border radius), etc...this code goes as follows:

As you can see, there are 'comment' tags that are not really comments, but directives to IE to process the script. This unfortunately gets parsed out by webcenter because (I assume) it just sees the whole block as a comment...So I am wondering what can be done about this.
2) I am wondering where the 'default' stylesheet that webcenter uses resides. By default, I am referring to the styles that get applied in the cases where tags are not defined in the skin file. I am having some difficulties around this because often Webcenter injects inline CSS into the controls where I don't really want it to... For example, in the "panel header" control, webcenter injects code for the title field and automatically sets the width of the cell. I would like to override this and control it completely.
Thanks.

Is that really a big deal or is it ok .... ? I'm always thinking .... oh god how heavy that is , anytime you call up the page the browser has to go through all that first ... is it actually ok or are there any tricks or tips ?
It's always a good idea to worry about how heavy the LINKED files are since they contribute to the overall weight of the page. The contribution of the links themselves, though, is negligable. There is also benefit in managing the order in which those links appear. Put CSS links first and follow them with javascript links (since the CSS will affect the page rendering, while the javascript most likely will not), so the browser can begin to render the page even while it's waiting for the js files to be fetched.
2 - Templates are great but If a spry is only needed on some pages,how do we handle that ? By setting up another template ? Or is there a better way ?
If you are applying Spry effects to a Template child page, DW is smart enough to drop those links into the editable region in the head of the page (which is what it should do). Just make sure that the editable region falls BETWEEN your CSS links and your JS links to allow you to arrange things as mentioned above. There is never a real need to have more than one Template per site.
3 - is it better to have 1 single compressed css file with ALL styles in it or various css files ?
There is a small performance hit everytime you have to go back to the server for another file. So two pages of the same overall weight, one with 1 externally linked file, and the other with 10 externally linked files will show a difference in their download time. How significant that difference is will depend on many variables, but it will be a real difference. That being the case, it's always better to opt for a single file than multiple files. Practically speaking, the difference will usually be small, especially when you consider how small these 'incremental' css files usually are....

Custom Tags That Extend NetUI Tags

In http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12840_01/wlw/docs103/guide/upgrading/conUpgradingPageFlows.html, "Custom Tags That Extend NetUI Tags is not supported. Likewise, extending JSP tags in version 10.x is not supported." What does it mean? I have a few jsp tags that extend AbstractTag. Using TagSupport is the only way or I still can extend the beehive tags. Thanks!

Found a solution to 2) all of a sudden.
I have to compile my tag with the netui-tags-html JAR file from version 8.1.6. It is very importalt that this does not get included in the WEB-INF lib of the portal web-application.
So my code looks something like ;
import com.bea.wlw.netui.tags.html.Label; // from netui-tags-html.8.1-sp6.jar
public class ErrorLabelTag extends Label
Strange?

Beehive NetUi Tags and Controls in Workshop 10.1!
