Bookmarking JSF pages

Hi All
there was discussion about bookmarking JSF pages some time ago.
This problem really bothers me. There was opinion that you shouldn't use JSF for pages you need to bookmark... but it's quite inconvinient if you should implement part of web application in one framework and another part in different framework.
Is there any new opinions/ideas about this issue?
I've been thinking about converting request to GET redirect using simple JSP page... but in this case session info will be lost I believe.

It depends of the site design (ergonomics) and end user experience.
There is a special section on the http://jsfTutorials.net that is dedicated to Struts - "JSF vs. Struts, JSF with Struts". Actually, it reflects how the standpoint is changed for the last one year.
Regarding JSP and JSTL: It is a temporaty situation. JSP and JSF expert groups work together to eliminate the problematic issues. The final draft for JSP 2.1 and JSF 1.2 specifications are already available for public review.
There is a very interesting framework - facelets ( https://facelets.dev.java.net/ ) that utilizes the new benifits already. Facelets works on top of the JSF.

How do I pass input values from a html page to a jsf page

hi,
In my project,for front view we have used html pages.how can I get input values from that html page into my jsf page.for back end purpose we have used EJB3.0
how can I write jsf managed bean for accessing these entities.we have used session facade design pattern and the IDE is netbeans5.5.
pls,help me,very urgent
thanx in advance

Simplest way is to rewrite html page into jsf page.
You can use session bean in your managed bean like this:
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
public class ManagedBean {
private Context ctx;
private Object res;
// session bean interface
private Service service;
          public ManagedBean() {
            try{
                 ctx = new InitialContext();
                 res = ctx.lookup("Service");
                 service = (Service) res;
           catch(Exeption e){

How to get values from a query string in URL in a jsf page?

if i have a url, http://my.com/?name=john+smith, how do i get the values from that url in a jsf page and then pass those values to a servlet?
i know how to do that in jsp using "request.getParamter("name")" and save it in a bean and then forward to a servlet. But what about in jsf?

Hello,
Try this:
Map requestMap = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestMap();
String name = (String) requestMap.get("name");If isn't worked one of these methods probably will solve your problem.
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap();
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestHeaderMap();hth.

On my mac it doesn't let me bookmark some sites when i drag the icon over or click on bookmark this page. Is there a fix for this?

When i drag a URL over to my bookmarks or click on bookmark this page (on a Mac BTW) it doesn't let me do it. Not even with the star. Like when i try to bookmark some cell phone forums and gamefaq boards it says "website did not supply identity information" and it doesn't even let me bookmark that page unless i go to a different part of the site. Is there any type of fix for this???

Hi punisherbv,
Are you using the beta? it's not fully secure, so try using Firefox 3 instead. If you are already using Firefox 3, it seems like what Firefox is saying is correct- the site is not supplying identity information. So what you could do is go to that exact site, then click on the little golden lock at the very corner of the page. Then, enter the 'permissions' tab and allow everything. Exit, and then try bookmarking the page!

How to Open an Oracle Report From a JSF Page

Hi there,
I would be really grateful if anyone would find me a solution to the following scenario:
In my company, we have a project where we have to convert Oracle Forms and Reports to Java Web Application. The conversion of forms is being done thourgh JSF/ADF technology but how can i open an Oracle Report from a JSF page after supplying it with parameters ? Or i have to do some type of conversion before ?
Once again i would be thankfull for your replies.

Tapash,
Thanks for reponding.
Here is the URL I am currently using :
https://gccss.glendale.edu:8001/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?server=rep60_crp3+userid=apps/pswd@crp3+report=/u07/oracle/crp3appl/gcccus/11.5.0/reports/US/GCC_ACCRUAL_BAL_0505.rdf+desformat=html+paramform=yes+destype=cache+p_accesscode=""
The p_accesscode is the parameter I need to pass to the Oracle report.
Currently, when I click the button, it invokes the above URL and takes me to the parameter form of the Oracle report and when I enter the Username, it runs the report and displays the desired output. But, what I need to achieve is, to pass the current user who has logged in behind the scene and to get rid of the parameter screen totally. Is this doable ? If yes, please help me !!!
Thanks

How-to get attributes from one JSF page redirected to another?

How do I send information from one JSF page when the navigation rule redirects it to another?
When JSF navigation does a forward I can use request.setAttribute() in the from-page and then use request.getAttribute() in the to-page, but this doesn't work with <redirect/>.
Regards,
Al Malin

How can I collapse all my sub-folders when bookmarking a page?

In Safari when I go to bookmark a page all my sub-folders and their own sub-folders are shown,
Is there a way to collapse them all into just the main folders and then being able to choose the correct sub-folder from them to bookmark the page.
I have about 50 main folders but a few hundred sub-folders so when I go to bookmark a page it's very time consuming and annoying.
In Firefox just the main folders are shown, so I just choose the main folder and expand that and choose the appropriate sub-folder, Job done in seconds!
Many thanks in advance [ I hope! :-) ]

None that I know about.

How can I bookmark a page without using the stupid star?

I have used Firefox since the days of Netscape. Now what used to be easy now becomes more like M$ products. I want to get rid of that stupid star that makes things more confusing by placing bookmarks in a generic 'Unsorted Bookmarks' folder that requires further attention to sort my bookmarks when before I did it all at the time that I created the bookmark with 'bookmark this page'. I understand that clicking on the blue star again will bring up the bookmark properties, this is just an inconvenience, adding time wasted. I would like my bookmarks to be like they were in the previous version of Firefox.

Shortcuts are everything nowadays!
CTRL + D Bookmarks the page

How to Use another JSF page that I load by XMLHttpRequest?

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie of JSF and curisous about how to load page content seperately by AJAX.
I saw example of Java Blue Print. It's load some data to use in page. What I want is to load another JSF page when click a link or button, (Like include another page). And work with functions privoided by loaded JSF Page.
My example is, In a main page. I request a JSF page and set it into a div layer.
var requestURL = "/admin/customer/customer-list-body.faces";
var content = postDataWithoutContent(requestURL); divContent.innerHTML = content;
All JSF components are required under <f:view>, thus action of form is set as "action='"/admin/customer/customer-list-body.faces'"
But my page is main.jsp. Each time I click command button in customer-list-body.faces, the url will change to customer-list-body.faces, I want to request and hold in main.jsp.
What can I do then? Any advices?

Hi,
the list doesn't seem to be your problem. You need to track down the illegal argument exception. Once you have that sorted out, expose the method on the AM so it gets shown as a method binding. The return values then could be picked up in a managed bean to create the select Item list

How can I put an output stream (HTML) from a remote process on my JSF page

Hello,
I've a question if someone could help.
I have a jsf application that need to execute some remote stuff on a different process (it is a SAS application). This remote process produces in output an html table that I want to display in my jsf page.
So I use a socket SAS class for setting up a server socket in a separate thread. The primary use of this class is to setup a socket listener, submit a command to a remote process (such as SAS) to generate a data stream (such as HTML or graphics) back to the listening socket, and then write the contents of the stream back to the servlet stream.
Now the problem is that I loose my jsf page at all. I need a suggestion if some one would help, to understand how can I use this html datastream without writing on my Servlet output stream.
Thank you in advance
A.
Just if you want to look at the details .....
// Create the remote model
com.sas.sasserver.submit.SubmitInterface si =
(com.sas.sasserver.submit.SubmitInterface)
rocf.newInstance(com.sas.sasserver.submit.SubmitInterface.class, connection);
// Create a work dataset
String stmt = "data work.foo;input field1 $ field2 $;cards;\na b\nc d\n;run;";
si.setProgramText(stmt);
// Setup our socket listener and get the port that it is bound to
com.sas.servlet.util.SocketListener socket =
new com.sas.servlet.util.SocketListener();
int port = socket.setup();
socket.start();
// Get the localhost name
String localhost = (java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost()).getHostAddress();
stmt = "filename sock SOCKET '" + localhost + ":" + port + "';";
si.setProgramText(stmt);
// Setup the ods options
stmt = "ods html body=sock style=brick;";
si.setProgramText(stmt);
// Print the dataset
stmt = "proc print data=work.foo;run;";
si.setProgramText(stmt);
// Close
stmt = "ods html close;run;";
si.setProgramText(stmt);
// get my output stream
context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) context.getExternalContext().getResponse();
ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
// Write the data from the socket to the response
socket.write(out);
// Close the socket listener
socket.close();

The system exec function is on the Communication palette. Its for executing system commands. On my Win2K system, the help for FTP is:
"Ftp
Transfers files to and from a computer running an FTP server service (sometimes called a daemon). Ftp can be used interactively. Click ftp commands in the Related Topics list for a description of available ftp subcommands. This command is available only if the TCP/IP protocol has been installed. Ftp is a service, that, once started, creates a sub-environment in which you can use ftp commands, and from which you can return to the Windows 2000 command prompt by typing the quit subcommand. When the ftp sub-environment is running, it is indicated by the ftp command prompt.
ftp [-v] [-n] [-i] [-d] [-g]
[-s:filename] [-a] [-w:windowsize] [computer]
Parameters
-v
Suppresses display of remote server responses.
-n
Suppresses autologin upon initial connection.
-i
Turns off interactive prompting during multiple file transfers.
-d
Enables debugging, displaying all ftp commands passed between the client and server.
-g
Disables file name globbing, which permits the use of wildcard characters (* and ?) in local file and path names. (See the glob command in the online Command Reference.)
-s:filename
Specifies a text file containing ftp commands; the commands automatically run after ftp starts. No spaces are allowed in this parameter. Use this switch instead of redirection (>).
-a
Use any local interface when binding data connection.
-w:windowsize
Overrides the default transfer buffer size of 4096.
computer
Specifies the computer name or IP address of the remote computer to connect to. The computer, if specified, must be the last paramete
r on the line."
I use tftp all of the time to transfer files in a similar manner. Test the transfer from the Windows command line and copy it into a VI. Pass the command line to system exec and wait until it's done.

Can we have a href tags in jsf page

hi all,
I tried inserting a link in jsf page using <a href> tag but when I click it, it is appending the link to contextroot.
For Example:
<f:verbatim>
click here
</f:verbatim>
and when I click on it, I see http://www.google.com is appended to my application url after context root like
http://localhost:9080/Ma/view/India/http://www.google.com
and I get 404 error. how do I do it without having my application url.
Thanks
Ma

This problem can occur if you didn't specify any protocol (http:// or https:// or others) in the link. But your example looks fine. I think that you modified the real code to this example, without being aware that you solved the problem yourself.
At any way, you can also just use h:outputLink to render <a> elements.

How do I change back to having "bookmark this page" on the top of the list and subordinate "all bookmarks" lower since I use former 100 times more than the later on a daily basis?

I create about 25 -50 new bookmarks daily for my business. So, it would seem user friendly to put that command at the top of the scroll down list. Maybe I am unique and others want to "show all bookmarks" repeatedly. I can't understand why one would need to do that more often than add multiple bookmarks on a daily basis. i look forward to your response,. Respectfully MC

cor-el, as you said, that solution puts the "show all bookmarks" all the way at the bottom. How do you either make "bookmark this page" first without changing the order of the other options or force "show all bookmarks" to be second instead of last, the way the menu was before?

Unable to get the output when i run any jsf page in adf

Hi,
I have created one jsf page to access the business components which i had created earlier after that when i drop the another panel splitter into the second facet of the initial panel splitter we created , I was unable to see in the workspace (.jpx) window.can you suggest me on this.
after done all the steps if I tried to run that page it starts the WLS servier and createda URL but the url is taking long time approx more that two hour and still not getting the required output only the loading window I can see.
Please suggest me on this.
Thanks
Chetan

Hi,
the panelSplitter should at least show in the Structure Window. So check if it is there. The runtime issue can be caused by the proxy settings. Go to Tools / Preferences --> Browser and Proxy and add localhost to the list of exclusion
If you are new to ADF I recommend running a tutorial like this: http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/jdev/obe11jdev/ps1/ria_application/developriaapplication_long.htm

When I bookmark a page, the wonderfully imported folders and bookmarks I see when I clik bookmarks do not appear in any of the 3 optional dropdowns?

I really want to help you make Mozilla the best of them all, so here goes: When I want to bookmark a page, those wonderfully imported IE favorites I see in the dropdown when I clik Bookmarks...do no appear? Now...at the bottom of the bookmarks dropdown with those IE favorites is one folder called "from internet explorer"...it is the favorites as I imported them...and at first, I did get the folders of my new Bookmarks...which used to be favorites. It is so hard to explain...yet I really liked everything about your Mozilla OpenSource product enough to say, just give me a quick ring...or a way to do it via chat at any certain time or whatever. My droid is 410-279-6886 My "Edress" is: [email protected] A lot of us in the White House Press Corps have this issue/problem, and so I suppose alot of others do too...and I want to help as I see them all going back to IE...and I believe in you folks. Building a better rocket ship is very difficult...yet I want the good guys/gals to win - & that would be you! So...ring me if it's something that is not some simple fix...like me being a normal dorkey clueless computer user which you can do with a quick email. I will give as much time as needed...to help you.
Respectfully yours and thanking you in advance, I am
Chard
PS: I am laughing really hard now...your attitude is so frikk'in friendly...and a bit humerous. I am talking about the box below concerning your "Educated Guesses" as to my current browser & OS. Yes...I am an open computer! (WE used to say, we are an open book...my, how time and ambitions change things!) I also love your phrasing re: capcha - and it's good to keep those unfeeling robots away! (and I can read your Capcha...which I also like! ...I actually like everything about you folks. IN closing...I am a marketing & PR savant, just in case you need one.)

Chard..this is Chard, will someone really read my pleas for both needing help...and wanting to give the Mozilla Family help? Hmmm...I am hopefulllll...
