Best practice to embed flex application in html

Hello guys
I am not sure what's the best practice to embed the flex application. We couldn't use html code in flex builder. Would you guys edit the html files via other tools to embed the swf file after the application is completed or there are other ways to do it. Thanks for the reply.

Hi Jerry,
Why you couldn't use the html code generated in flex builder. In the html wrapper file generated in FlexBuilder you have SWF embed code directly along with the Flash Player detection javascript code...If your users don't have the FlashPlayer installed or if they don't have the latest Flash Player version installed then the application will prompt the users to install the latest Flash player plugin..
What's the problem that you have got by using the html wrapper file generated in FlexBuilder..
Thanks,
Bhasker Chari

BC4J ApplicationModule - best practice in Stateful web application?

When writing a stateful web application that uses BC4J framework as the model, what is considered best practice in using the Application Module. Is it okay to store an AM instance in a HttpSession, or should we opt for the features explained in the BC4J Pooling samples, which uses the SessionCookie interface?
Tips/Tricks/Pitfalls information welcome

When writing a stateful web application that uses BC4J framework as the model, what is considered best practice in
using the Application Module. Is it okay to store an AM instance in a HttpSession, or should we opt for the features
explained in the BC4J Pooling samples, which uses the SessionCookie interface? Best practice is to store the SessionCookie (an ApplicationModule handle) as demonstrated in the pooling sample.
This will allow many advantages including scalable state management support, timeout support, and
failover / clustering support.
Caching the ApplicationModule directly can be dangerous because:
1. The AM is not serializable which could result in serialization exceptions if the servlet container were distributable.
2. The AM does not responsd to timeout which could result in memory leaks if the AM is not explicitly returned to the
pool at the end of each request.
3. For stateful applications the memory consumed by each AM could be significant. Even if the AM were correctly
released to the pool upon session timeout it would still have consumed that memory up to that point. Using the
SessionCookie along with state managed release allows for scalable state management.

Best practices for a large application

I have an existing application that is written in character
based Oracle Developer and has many forms and reports. A few years
ago I converted an inquiry portion of the system to standard ASP,
this portion has about 25 pages. Initially I want to rewrite the
Inquiry portion in Flex (partly to teach myself flex), but
eventually (soon) I will need to convert the remainder of the
application, so I want a flexible and robust framework from the
beginning.
So far for fun I wrote a simple query and I like what I have
done but I realized that trying to write the entire application in
a single script with hundreds of states would be impossible. The
application is a fairly traditional type app with a login script, a
horizontal menu bar and panels that allow data entry, queries and
reports. In Oracle and ASP each "panel" is a seperate program and
is loaded as needed. I see advantages in this approach, and would
like to continue it (creating as much reusable stuff as possible).
So where can I find documentation, and or examples on the
best practice in laying out a framework for what will eventually be
a sizeable app?
BTW, what about the ever present problem of writing reports?
Paul

As a matter of fact, modules are exactly what you're looking
for! :)
Flex's doc team has a good intro document here:
http://blogs.adobe.com/flexdoc/2007/01/modules_documentation_update.html
And this gentleman has a quick example in his blog:
http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/08/06/building-a-simple-flex-module/
The app I'm working on now is primarily based on modules, and
they're a good way to keep things organized and keep loading times
low. Documentation on them has been so-so, but its getting better.
There are little undocumented gotchas that you'll undoubtedly run
into as you develop, but they've been covered here and in the
flexcoders Yahoo group time and again, so you'll readily be able to
find help.
When creating a module, you can either place them in the
project that they'll eventually be used with, or create a stand
alone project just for that module (the preferred and more
organized method.) Creating a stand-alone module project is easy:
just change the "mx:Application" tag in your main mxml file to a
"mx:Module" tag instead.
If you're using Cairngorm as your app's framework, you'll
have to tinker with things a bit to get it all working smoothly,
but its not that hard, and I believe the doc team is working on a
definitive method for using modules in Cairngorm based apps.
Hope this helps!

Best practice for mouseless ADF applications

I am developing an ADF application where the users do not want to use the mouse.
So I would like to know if there are a best practice for this?
I am already using the accessKey functionality and subforms defaultCommand
But I have had problems setting focus to objects on a page like tables. I would like a button to return the focus to the table after it has made the command like delete.
I have implemented a solution where I have found inspiration several threads and other webpages (see below).
Is this solution okay?
Are there any problems with it?
I would also like to know if there are better pathways to go like
out of the box solutions,

Hi,
I am developing an ADF application where the users do not want to use the mouse. So I would like to know if there are a best practice for this?
Well HTML (and this is the user interface you see) follows a tab index navigation that you follow with "tab" and "shift+tab". Anything else is a short cut for which you use mnemonics (as you already do) or shortcuts (explained in http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html). There is a distinction to make between non-web environments (which I think you and your users have abackground in) and client desktop environments. Browsers block some keyboard functionality for their own purpose. So you may have to find a list of keys first that work across browsers. Unlike desktop clients, which allow you to "press a button" without the button to take focus, this cannot be done on the web. So you need to be clever here, avoiding buttons at all.
The following paper is about JavaScript in ADF and explains the basics for what Chris Muir explains in : http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/1-2011-javascript-302460.pdf
It has the outline for how to register short cut keys that perform a specific action (e.g. register ctrl+d to delete the current row you are on, or press F11 to execute a query (similar to Oracle Forms frmres files)). However, be aware that this includes some code you have to write (actually quite some code to be honest).
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/79-global-template-button-strategy-360139.pdf (are there an example implementation?), or
http://one-size-doesnt-fit-all.blogspot.dk/2010/11/adf-ui-shell-supporting-global-hotkeys.html
Actually these are implementations as they come with example code for you to use and customize, do they? So what is this question asking for more ? Also note that global buttons don't quite have anything in common with the question you asked. I assume you want to see it as an implementation of the Forms toolbar that operates on the form or table the focus is in. This however does not work for the web as there is nothing that keeps track of which component has a focus and to what iterator (data block) it belongs. This would involve even more coding (though possibly doable)

Best Practice to Setup an application to work with both oracle and db2 db

Hi,
We have an application that currently supports both oracle and db2 databases . It is currently using JPA with eclipselink as backend mechanism and we want to move to ADFBc as our backend . So what is best practice to do this?
I came across an old post in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adf-methodology/UlJZSTu14Io that states to create two different model projects to support oracle and db2 .
Is this still the standard ? Is there a way that we could work around rather than creating multiple projects?
How do i get the view controller to work with multiple model projects if this is the case?
Thank you.

Thanks for the response .
The problem is i would have the same schema on both the databases (both in oracle and db2) .
I don't see a scenario where i want both the application model projects at the same time . What i meant is , Application will either be deployed with Oracle DB or DB2 but not with both on a production environment .
So is there a way where i just change the connection parameters alone rather having two different models ?
If i have to use two model projects , would it be possible say i built the view controller for Oracle , and use it for DB2 if i make sure the BC objects names are similar between model projects and switch just the model jar based on the deployment environment ?

Best Practice for Deploying ADF application

I am tasked with developing a best or prefered practice of feploying a large ADF application. Background: we are in the process of redeveloping a UI for a large system. We have broken the system down into susbsytems. Each of these susbsystems UI will be a ADF aaplicaion(?). This is a move from a MS .Net front end. The backend (Batch processes etc) is being dveloped in Java. So my question is if I have several ADF projects for each subsystem and common components that they all will use - what is the best practice to compile package and deploy? The deployment will be to weblogic server or servers(Cluster).
We have a team of at least 40 -50 developers worldwide so we are looking for an automated build and deploy and would like to follow Oracle best practice. So far I have read Deploying ADF Applications (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/e15470/deploy.htm#BGBJHGFH) and have followed the links. I have also look at the ADF evangalist blogs - lots of chatter about ojdeploy. My concern about ojdeploy is that dependent files are also being compiled at the same time. I expected that we want shared dependent files compiled only once (Is that a valid concern)?
So then when we build the source out of subversion (ojdeploy ? Ant? ) then what is best practice to deploy to a weblogic server (wslt admin console) - again we want it to be automated.
Thank you in advance for replies.

Rule 1: Never use the "Automatically Expose UI Componentes in a New Managed Bean" option, create your bindings manually;
Rule 2: Rule 1 is always right;

Supported/Best Practice to restore Planning application between servers

I have two servers with Hyperion Planning 9.3.1 (prod and dev) I want to copy the application called 'BFS' from Production to 'NewBFS' - Dev server.
As per our consultants they indicated to do the following:
1. Backup the repository database containing application BFS from production
2. Do a restore of the .bak file to 'NewBFS' database on dev server
3. Resync orphan logins (from sql server logins and database logins)
4. Log into Planning via the default admin user ID
5. Go to application settings and change the URL
6. Register the Shared Services URL
7. Manage Database
8. Check all boxes and click refresh
9. Go to Shared Services and resync native directory users
However when try to log into planning with something other than 'admin' we receive an error that 'user xx is not provisioned ...'
From my db experience the user tables are either still referencing production and/or have not resynced properly.
So long story short...can I restore one Planning app to another server and if so what is the supported/best practice?
thanks
JTS

HemanthK ,
This is what we do to restore one planning app from prod to test. And now it looks like it works: We are MS SQL Server so these instructions are based on SQL DB
1. Backup the Planning Application SQL DB on Production
2. Stop the Shared Services and Planning Services on Development
3. Restore the Production Planning App SQL DB
4. Reset orphan logins (SQL script is available at other sites, just google Reset orphan users SQL)
5. Restart the Shared Service first then Planning Service on Development
6. Log in development as default admin to Planning, go to the new app, choose Manage Application Settings
7. Run the script John had indicated c:\Hyperion\Planning\bin>Updateusers.cm servername adminname adminpassword applicationname (no dashes before each parameter)
8. Go to planning as admin again, choose a form and choose assign access, choose add access, choose migrate identities. Here is a good self-check to see that the users are only the users from development box
9. finally go to manage databases in planning, choose refresh database and security
10. choose manage security filters it should now reflect only development users
11. login as a development user into planning to ensure correct security/user rights...
You should now be able to access the application on the development box.

User Authorization, best practices for this custom application requirement?

JDeveloper 12c (12.1.2)
We want to use external LDAP (active directory) with ADF security to authenticate and authorize users.
One of our custom application requirements is that there is a single page with many interactive components. It has probably about 15 tables and each table would need to have the following buttons (or similar components):
- delete: (if certain row is selected) to delete it
- edit: (if certain row is selected) takes user to 'edit page' where changes can be made
- create: to create new record for this particular VO (table)
So let's say that would be 3 x 15 = 45 different actions that single user can possibly perform. Not all users have same 'powers' ie some users can only edit CERTAIN tables, and delete from one or two. Most users can create and edit most VOs etc
Back when this application was originally developed using (I believe) 10g JDeveloper with UIX, the way it was done is that we maintained a table in database with 'user credentials' as Y or N flags.
For example: DEL_VO1, EDIT_VO1, ADD_VO1....
So when user is authenticated we would then pull all these credentials from the DB table and load them into the session variables. Then we would use EL to render or not render certain buttons on the page. For example: rendered="#{sessionScope.appDelVo1 == 'Y'}"
Moving forward into latest ADF technology, what would be the best practice to achieve described functionality?

Hi,
ADF BC could have permissions added to the entity level (includes remove and update). So you can create permissions for the entity (as it doesn't matter for data security how data is accessed. If as a user you are nit allowed to change a database table then this is for tables and forms). You can then use EL to check the permission, thus no need to keep the privileges in the database.
If a user is allowed to update an entity then you can check this using EL in the UI

Hi,
1. How do we make data services application 100% available. Do we have any other options other than adding nodes.
Server group options is available, Regarding 100% available it's based on Hardware and OS capability.
if Hardware and OS supports, BODS also will support ( BODS will switch over one system to other when main system is going down )
2. What are the steps we should follow during server failure and DB failure. Is there any order should be followed to start the servevices.

Best practices for an oracle application upgrade

Hello,
We have an enterprise application deployed on Oracle Weblogic and connecting to an Oracle database (11g).
The archive is versioned and we are using Weblogic's feature to upgrade to new versions and retire old versions.
In a case of emergency when we need to rollback an upgrade, the job is really easy on Weblogic but not the same on Oracle DB.
For most of our releases, the release package is an ear plus some database scripts.
Releases are deployed with minimum downtime, so while we are releasing our clients are still writing to the DB.
In case of a rollback is needed, we need to make sure the changes we made to the DB structure (Views, SP, Tables...) are reverted but data inserted by clients stayed intact.
Correct me if I am wrong, but Flashback and RMAN TSPITR are not the good options here.
What other people usually do in similar cases? What are best practices and deployment plans for our case?
Guides and direction are welcomed.
Thanks!

Hi Magnus
I guess you have to install again to ensure no problems. BP installation also involves ensuring correct SP levels (cannot be higher) for all software components.

Calling a FLEX application from html, using parameters

Hi guys,
I have this html:
<form name="getTracing" method="POST" action="http://syyzas400/ShipmentInquiry/ShipmentDetails.html">
          QuickTrace
<input type="text" name="TrackNbr" size="14" tabindex="1" maxlength="11">
<br>
Carrier
<select name="Carrier" tabindex="2" style="background-color: #D8E4FF; color: black;
                         font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; font-size: 9pt; width=114">
          <option>Option1
          <option>Option2
          <option>Option3
</select>
As you can notice, there is an Input field ("TrackNbr") and a selection field ("Carrier") with three options... The user enters a Tracking Nbr.
in first field and chooses one of the three options from the second field and hits <enter>. In this moment, as you can see from "action" area, an html (part of a FLEX application) is called. The problem is that the parameters ("TrackNbr" and "Carrier") are not transmitted and I don't know how to do that.
This FLEX application accepts parameters using URL fragments technique (because could be called from another FLEX application, too)
but obviously this cannot work with the above described form.
I read about External Interface class, but everybody is talking about calling ActionScript functions, not FLEX applications. Being a newbie in this area,
I am sure I am missing something, but what?
Any help would be very appreciated, as usual...
Florin

Problem solved.
I got rid of the form tag (and "action", obviously); instead, I created a JavaScript function used for onClick event of the submit button. Inside this function, I captured the values (using getElementById method) of the input and select field and, using these values, I created the URL for my FLEX application (used with location.href property), and BAM! Everything works like a charm... I am even able to use the Back button to exit the FLEX app and return to the selection screen.
Now my question is, why does it work??? No complaints at all, just curiosity... I didn't use External Interface class, no exposed ActionScript functions prior calling frm JavaScript, no fancy stuff all sites I saw talking about...
Grizz..., I have a feeling that what you described above is a simpler and more advanced way to do about the same thing I did; am I right?
Thanks,
Florin

FlashIsland UI element missing to embed Flex application

Hi,
I am trying to add flex application into my webdynpro java . But FlashIsland UI element is not displaying in my NWDS.
I am using NWDS Version: 7.0.09
EP Version: 7.0 SP: 16
Is there any way to get the FlashIsland UI element in my view?
Regards
Vineela

Hi Vineela,
To implement Flash Island for Web Dynpro Java applications integrating Flash Islands, you require the following:
Adobe Flex Builder 2 or 3
Adobe Flash Player 9 Update 3
Flash Island Flex library WDIslandLibrary.swc. To enable the use of a Flash/Flex component in Web Dynpro, the component must exist in the form of a FlashIsland. This wrapping enables the communication between the Flex component and the Web Dynpro Framework.
Are you sure, you are having the required installations available with you. Please check the links below for more information on the same, in case you have missed:
[Adobe Flash Islands for Web Dynpro Java|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/301e6047-01c9-2b10-3998-a08970c23639]

Login flex application using HTML page

Is it possible in flex
For example you click on a button in HTML and it redirect to flex application

Flex applications sit in a HTML page. Just make your button link redirect to that page. It's no differrent to changing a HTML page because that's all you are doing.

Best practices on enterprise and application roles in OIM and OAM 11g?

Hi, all,
I wonder if any of you can give me some advice on role design for OIM and OAM 11g. I'd like to have both enterprise roles, such as Accountant II, and application roles, such as App1_User, App1_Admin, etc. Ideally, the enterprise role would automatically give the user the appropriate application roles, but I can't figure out how to do that. We tried using OIM 11g's inheritance, but when the application role is inherited, OAM doesn't see it in OID/OVD and therefore doesn't think the user has the correct authorization to access the application. I thought about using role membership rules, but those seem to only allow you to use user attributes to control membership, which doesn't help at all in my situation.
How is this situation best handled? Any advice much appreciated!

Hi,
I am assuming in clustered environment you are having two instances running.
It must be an issue with a single server,,because the problem is intermittent.
To see which server is causing problem....just perform the following steps:
1) Stop server1 and keep running server2..and fire new registration request...
2) stop server 2..and keep running server1.....and fire new registration request.
Using above, atleast you can see which server is causing the problem...
