Bug in view link creation

Here's an interesting bug in JDev 9.0.3.1, Win2k:
I'm working with a view link using the Edit View Link dialog. It links two view objects, ViewA and ViewB, in a 1:* relationship. Entities EntityA and EntityB are the respective underliers of ViewA and ViewB. Under the View Link Properties node in the dialog, the only accessor generated is for the Destination view object.
When I click OK, the column constants at the top of EntityA.java become messed up!!
To be specific, all of the accessor column constants defined on the entity object are removed and then re-defined one line above the beginning of the column constants declaration section. They also are renumbered starting with zero, which causes them to have the same value as the first n column constant definitions. Naturally, this causes a "duplicate case label" compile error for the EntityA.java file.
Even worse is if the column constant definitions start on the same line as the opening brace for the class, like so:
public class EntityAImpl extends EntityImpl
{ protected static final int COLUMN_1 = 0;
protected static final int COLUMN_2 = 1;
// etc.
The effect of clicking OK in the Edit View Link dialog is then to produce a ParseException error as the dialog is dismissed. Looking at the EntityA.java file, it's clear why:
public class EntityAImpl extends EntityImpl
protected static final int ACCESSOR_1 = 0;
protected static final int ACCESSOR_2 = 1;
// etc.
{ protected static final int COLUMN_1 = 0;
protected static final int COLUMN_2 = 1;
// etc.
What puzzles me is:
* Why is the entity object being affected at all, since the accessor was only supposed to be generated in ViewA?
* Why are all the accessors being removed and re-added, even those that have nothing to do with the view link being edited?
* Why, when the accessors are re-added, are the constant values duplicated?

Please send a test case. I'm unable to reproduce this in a simple project in 9.0.3.1 or 9.0.3.2.
Is there entity inheritance involved?
Do your entity XML files mention _superAttr anywhere in them? If so, you might be hitting a known issue with 9.0.3 relating to entity inheritance at design time and the accessor attributes.

Bug in View Link editor

When creating a many-to-many view link based on a many-to-many association, the view object on the left must be based on the entity that was on the left when creating the association. Why is this? Surely it shouldn't matter.

Just to add to this:
If the view object on the left of the link is not based on the entity that was on the left when creating the underlying association then the accessors for the association will not be visible under the view in the link editor.

View link creation on two view objects, and both view objects are populated program(not from sql)

I have master and detail VO , both views data is loaded in program. Now for show/hide feature, I create View Link Object and using one element from both child and master VO , View Link Object created properly.
But I can not able to add that view link object into AM.
Now because of that , I cannot say what is a instance name of that view link object.
Hence getting following error -- Invalid or missing view link. Please attach view link with the bean.
Please can you provide some directions.

View Link Bug! - JDEV Developers please read.

This has to be a bug. When I am done with my project for the day I check in the files into PVCS. After check in the files are deleted off my local drive. When I recheck out my project and do a rebuild on the project, I get several View link XML files that say that they are not correct. However when I pull them up in the editor and relink them, there is NO CHANGE to the XML file that stores the DEF. Below is a sample of one of the files. If I go into this view link with the visual editor and reselect the linking nodes, all is fine in JDEV.
Is this a bug that is being worked on for the next version?

Bug in bc4j?, view links at runtime, multi table relationships, accessor name

The following seems like a bug in the business components framework
to me:
To make things simple, I will use view objects aV, bV, cV,
corresponding rows aR, bR, cR and row iterators aI (not used though),
bI, cI.
I create two view links from aV to bV and from bV to cV at runtime,
with the accessor names "Bs" and "Cs".
ViewLink a2b = createViewLinkBetweenViewObjects(..., "Bs", ...);
ViewLink b2c = createViewLinkBetweenViewObjects(..., "Cs", ...);
First of all this code works perfectly fine:
ViewObject aV = a2b.getSource();
ViewObject bV = a2b.getDestination();
ViewObject cV = b2c.getDestination();
while(aV.hasNext())
Row aR = aV.next();
System.err.println("aR");
while(bV.hasNext())
Row bR=bI.next();
System.err.println(" bR");
while(cV.hasNext())
Row cR=cI.next();
System.err.println(" cR");
Using the accessor name "Bs" at the first level is ok, too:
ViewObject aV = a2b.getSource();
while(aV.hasNext())
Row aR = aV.next();
System.err.println("aR");
RowIterator bI=(RowIterator)aR.getAttribute("Bs");
while(bI.hasNext())
Row bR=bI.next();
System.err.println(" bR");
HOWEVER, USING THE ACCESSOR "Cs" AT THE SECOND LEVEL OF THE MULTITABLE
RELATIONSHIP IN THE FOLLOWING CODE, GIVES ME AN EXCEPTION
oracle.jbo.NoDefException: JBO-25002: Definition Cs of type Attribute
not found. THE SEEMS LEGAL USAGE OF THE ACCESSOR "Cs" TOO ME THOUGH,
THEREFORE MY SUSPICION OF A BUG.
ViewObject aV = a2b.getSource();
while(aV.hasNext())
Row aR = aV.next();
System.err.println("aR");
RowIterator bI=(RowIterator)aR.getAttribute("Bs");
while(bI.hasNext())
Row bR=bI.next();
System.err.println(" bR");
RowIterator cI=(RowIterator)bR.getAttribute("Cs");
while(cI.hasNext())
Row cR=cI.next();
System.err.println(" cR");
(By the way, could make your window for filling in the message a little bit wider,
making it easier to cope with the line breaks).
Feedback is appreciated.

Your results are as expected per the imlementation. Basically you've established (two) ViewLinks between two sets of two instances of VOs.
Now you try and get an accessor to return a set of details. You need to establish a link between that detail set and it's details to use the accessor on the second detail to get the desired results. Basically you've to establish the chaining between appropriate instances of VOs and not just the outer VOs or VO members of your AM.

Can I use View Link in ADF Creation Forms Jdev 10.1.3

Hi...
I created a view link of two tables. Then I created a ADF form with Master Object to show some informations.. and I created a ADF Creation form with the detail Object
I'm trying to submit the informations added in the Detail forms.
but no records are created in Database..
Can I submit a creation form using detail object?
Thanks

I figured out "partially" the problem, I tried to overrid the create method, and for any reason the commit operation wasn´t working.
I was trying to set a value for a proprety, but it did not work as a wish.
My intention was.... when an user execute the form. one specific field brings a value.. however I cannot set default value. cause it´ll change sometimes.
it´s something like this
protected void create(AttributeList attributeList) {
super.create(attributeList);
setMyProperty(new Number(0));
do you know how can I figure out this problem?

TP4 ADF BC [BUG] view link are not updated after database synchronization

I have a table with a recursive relationship.
By mystake, I created a recursive foreign key for the same attribute (deptid->deptid instead of deptid->parentdeptid).
I generated entity, view and application module from this schema.
When compiling, errors was produced indicating the problem.
I corrected the problem in offline database, generate the changes into the database successfully.
I ask to synchronize the entity with the database, the changes was identified correctly and a new association was created.
First remark: the old one still there and it was necessary to delete it and rename the new generated one (to be consistent with other name). May be an option to overwriting the old one will be more pleasant, may be asking if the new one has to replace an existing one and show a list of existing ones.
Regenerating the association was correct and one error was removed when compiling again. The error on the view link still there.
I would like to delete the assoc and recreate it from the entity assoc but it was not possible easily because the view link is used in the application module !!!!
It will be nice to permit to regenerate an existing view link from an entity association without deleting it.
May be it is a better way to synchronize ? I would be very interesting to know how to achieve it as the best !

Was the inability to have the synchronization remove the key specific to the existing association's being self-referential, or if your initial association was from DeptId to some other attribute (which you then corrected) would the synchronize have fixed the problem?
The simplest way to achieve what you want given existing features would be to have delete the view link instance, view link, and association, follow by resynchronizing (I believe), then recreating the viewlink and adding back the view link instance.

"Previous View" Links not Working

I have a document ( a multi-page process flowchart) that has "Previous View" links embedded into it. When I view the document in the Adobe Acrobat reader app for iPhone, the "Previous View" links do not work. My other links (links to specific document pages) however, work fine. Is this a bug in the app, or could this be a compliance problem with my document?

Within Adobe Acrobat 10 (full version -- not just the reader), if you click on the link tool, you can highlight an area on the doument. You can then define the link appearance and actions (such as go to a specific page number, open a file, go to a URL, etc). If you select "Custom" for the action, you can then specify from a whole list of diffent menu items (zoom in, zoom out, first page, last page, previous view, last view, etc...).
I find that my previous view links works great in a web browser on my PC or Mac (works in IE7,Safari, Firefox), but not in Acrobat for IOS.

View Link between two query views

Hi is it possible to create a view link between two views having the where clause bind variables.
How you set the bind variables at the run time for the View objects. It is giving hard time for me to use the Master view in the XmlData bean to generate the Xml document.
I am able to set the Master views bind variables, but for view link destination view
where clause bind variables are not able to set ( link object link condition bind variables are binded run time but the views where chause bind variables of destination view are unable to setand bind)
Thanks
null

Easiest way to do this is to add additional transient attributes to your master view object, and then include those additional transient attributes in the list of source attributes for your view link. This way, you can get BC4J to automatically refer to their values with no additional code on your part.

I'm getting the following error:

oracle.jbo.NoDefException: JBO-25058: Definition Level3View of type Attribute not found in Level2View_Level2Level1FKLink1_Level2ViewThe thing is, Level3View isn't in the Level2Level1FKLink viewlink.
I've been reading about something similar here
BC4J Master-Detail-Detail
but I am still unsure of what the problem is.
Thanks in advance.

View objects, view links, does not search properly

Hi,
I am using Jdev 11.1.2.0
I have created a search criteria based on view objects and view links. It has entities and entity associations as base. The structure is as follow:
vo1 ->vl (1 to 1) - > vo2
->vl ( 1 to many) -> vo3
Any search attribute which is not from vo1 return bad result. It happens in running app module and in the jspx page. In app module, it sometimes complains about populating the wrong attribute for the named criteria.
The search criteria is using "exists" statement for vo2 and vo3 for adding the conditions. It has many attributes within the exist statement.
So what is the problem. Why it does not join properly? Why does it return bad result when search attribute is from vo2 and vo3? Please help.
Any more information requires to solve the problem?
Thanks,
Arthur

Hi,
Two more information: vo1 is composed of Entity1 (1..M) Entity2 and Entity1 (1..1) Entity 3. vo2 is composed of Entity 2 and vo3 is composed of Entity 4.
I follow the information from http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E16162_01/web.1112/e16182/bcquerying.htm#BCGIFHHF
to create the search criteria.

EJB Finder View Links and CMR

Hi,
Can someone please give me some input on the following warning in the JDeveloper online help!
"Warning: You cannot create an EJB finder view link that expresses the same relationship as a CMR."
I'm new to EJB, BC4J and JDeveloper. I created container managed entity beans with local interfaces only to represent my data and relationships. No problems with the mapping so far.
To test the beans I used Session Facades with remote interfaces and build a sample test client.
Now I thought I could create EJB Entity Facades, EJB Finder View Objects, EJB Finder View Links and EJB Application Modules to make use of the BC4J framework in order to speed up programming clients (JSP and JClient).
So I've started studying the JDeveloper online help (which seems to be very useful) and found the above mentioned warning.
Well, better a warning than nothing at all, but some more explanations would have been even better.
Is there no need to use view links with CMR?
How to achieve the same functionality (synchronizing two view objects in a master-detail-relationship) with CMR?
Do you know any examples? I couldn't find any examples using EJB entity facades in the "sample code" area on OTN.
Any comments about other (better) architectures are also welcome. Would it be better to use BMP entity beans in conjunction with BC4J?
Many thanks for your help!
Regards,
Eric

Steven,
thank you for your reply and suggestions - I'll count on that. If I find time I'll read this book. It seems to be very interesting.
For educational purposes I'd like to look at both persistence implementation strategies. I agree that it looks definitly easier to use entity objects. Certainly it's also performancewise a better choice.
Anyhow, could you give me some useful tips for cmp entity beans and finder view objects?
Is there something which works completely different if I use BC4J on top of it?
How to implement a master-detail relationship in JClient (Swing) for example?
What about writing an ejbfinder which doesn't return all, but all data where the foreign key is equal to a parameter passed to the finder method and use this as the source for a detail view object. This could be the primary key of the selected master. Well, I don't know whether this is doable. But that's what comes to my mind spontaneously.
Would this be a solution? I'm still thinking about the aforementioned warning in the online help regarding view links.
I guess the problem is that the foreign key is not part of the entity bean as it's not a cmp-field. Instead you have accessor methods to retrieve a related object or a collection of objects.
I'm sure my questions are not too complicated to answer. It's only hard for a beginner to get an overview.
I'm quite confident that I'll manage this if I give my best and get some help from knowledgeable people like you Steven.
Regards,
Eric

ADF BC: both ID and view link object as getter/setter in row impl

I notice something when generating the row implementation of VO that have links to other VO. I can't seem to find the logic behind it...
Following model:
users( id, address_id,name,firstname,...)
address(id, street,number,...)
their is an assosiation between the UsersEO and the addressEO. Their is also a view link between the UsersVO and the AddressVO based upon the assosiation of the EO's.
When we create the row implementation of the UsersVO we find a getter and setter for both the address_id as well as the address row object.
Why is this?
We have this issue because i added the UsersVO and the addressVO to the app module but i haven't added the link to the appModule but when i create the SDO from the appModule, the Users has both the address_id as the address row object.
THis does not seem to make sense. How do you use it correctly? Do you just need to set the address_id and can leave the row object null or do they both need to have the same? What if you set the address_id to 1 but the id in the address row object is set to 5...
How do the databindings handle these things?
To me it seems more logical that the VO only has a getter and setter for the address object and handles the address_id in the background according to the values in the address object.
Can someone explain me why this is implemented this way and how to handle it correctly?

Why is this? The definition of the VL allows you to optionally generate accessors for the underliying VOs, i.e. getAddressVO() in the UsersVO and getUsersVO() in the addressVO.
We have this issue because i added the UsersVO and the addressVO to the app module but i haven't added the link to the appModule but when i create the SDO from the appModule, the Users has both the address_id as the address row object. You should add the addressVO to the AM using the VL instead and not by itself.

As mentioned above, once you add the addressVO to AM using the VL, the framework will take care setting the value of the row objects accordingly.

View Link on two programmatic view objects

Hello,
I use Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.1.0_GENERIC_090615.0017.5407
I have two programmatic View Objects with data from other sources (an ArrayList in my example).
Now I would like to create a View Link on it. How can I do this?
I'm quite new on Java and ADF...
I know it is possible because I already found Steve's example 132 here [http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/|http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/]
But could somebody create a simple example based on my example classes below (which is understandable for a newbie like me ;-) ?
Has been asked already here, but I did not found a solution as yet.

Who can help?
Thnx in advance!

Rolf,
I guess when we try to do it for you, we end up with almost the sample code provided by Steve Muench.
So there from my point of view it doesn't make sense to do it all over.
Take some time and study the sample code, run it without changes and after that try some changes which suits your use case better.
If you don't understand what's going on in the sample post the question here and we try to help you.
