thanks.

Setting the f:selectItem itemLabel or itemValue attribute to '<=' causes page to not >compile. Values of '<', '>','>=' work fine.Probably giving us the exact steps you did would help us.
1. Did you change the property through PI or from code editor?
2. Was the code editor and design editor open at the same time (as split windows?)
3. Did you make the change in code editor and switched to design editor?
Thanks,

BUG - JSF InputText boxes not populating properly

Okay,
Here's the situation:
I have an edit page (JSF Web) that allows the user to pick an item to edit from a SelectOneMenu tag. When they pick the item the page rerenders and shows the object associated with the selected item allowing the user to edit the object in various InputText controls.
First of all the ValueChangeListener event doesn't work for the SelectOneMenu tag - the event is not recognized in the backing bean (with or without immediate set, the event code is never accessed.) - and so I had to tie the change to the pressing of a command button.
Upon pressing the command button, in the action event, I find the object from the selected item. Now I want to set the input text boxes in the screen to the various values of the object. There are two ways to do this. I either set the value property of the bound (using the binding property) backing bean to the objects property - the code looks like this:
<h:inputText binding="#{EditCalendarBean.name}"
value="#{EditCalendarBean.name.value}"/>
This results in a fatal error that halts the OC4J.
Alternatively; I added various properties to the backing bean one for each property of the object and bound the object's properties to these and then bound the user interface's value properties to the bean properties. For example, imagine a user interface control InputText tag called "name" has it's value property bound to a property on the bean called Name which returns String. This configuration runs but the InputText control when the page is re-rendered (after the submit), is empty even though I've set the value property. However, if I add an OutputText control to the page and bind it's value property to the same String property of the bean, the outputText control correctly shows the value of the object.
The code looks like this:

<h:inputText id="name" binding="#{EditCalendarBean.name}"
value="#{EditCalendarBean.nameValue}"/>
// Code in the Backing bean:
// Find the Bean from the submitted id from the SelectMenuTag.
CalendarData data = manager.getCalendarById(calendarID) ;
// Set value of the UITextInput components on the page.
this.getName().setValue(data.getName());
this.getDescription().setValue(this.getDescription());
// This results in a fatal error that halts the OC4J
// Method 2: declare two String properties on the bean and set them
// Then, in the page use the Value property of the InputText control.
// This runs but doesn't populate the controls. It does populate them if
// the contols are OutputText controls though!!!
this.setNameValue(data.getName());
this.setDescriptionValue(data.getDescription());
Best regards,
Nigel

Yes - this really is a bug. Any changes to make to the selectItems tag through the properties dialog rewrites the tag source code to seperate the selectOne tag and the selectItems tag. For example, before you use the dialog, you tag code could look like this:
<h:selectOneMenu binding="#{backing_showFactory.selectOneMenu1}"
id="selectOneMenu1">
<f:selectItems value="#{backing_showFactory.allFactories}"
binding="#{backing_showFactory.selectItems2}"
id="selectItems2"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
After the use of the dialog the code will be rewritten as:
<h:selectOneMenu binding="#{backing_showFactory.selectOneMenu1}"
id="selectOneMenu1"/>
<f:selectItems value="#{backing_showFactory.allFactories}"
binding="#{backing_showFactory.selectItems2}"
id="selectItems2"/>
Notice, the tags are now seperated instead of the selectItems tag being encased in the selectOneMenu tag.

BUG JSF Select Item not binding properly

Dear Oracle,
I'm running JDeveloper 10g version 10.1.3.0.3.3412 early access 1. If you create a HTMLMenu1 select list in a JSF Page and use the properties dialog to bind the values to a backing bean, the binding get's lost and the page doesn't call the value binding. What's more, if you try to rebind the values using the dialog, JDeveloper repeatedly inserts a new SelectItems tag for the menu.
For example, if you create the SelectMenu1 and then use the dialog to bind the selectItems to a backing bean property, you will end up with code something like this:
<h:selectOneMenu binding="#{backing_showFactory.selectOneMenu1}"
id="selectOneMenu1"
valueChangeListener="#{backing_showFactory.selectFactoryEvent}"/>
<f:selectItems value="#{backing_showFactory.allFactories}"
binding="#{backing_showFactory.selectItems1}"
id="selectItems1"/>
Now, click on the newly created menu item in the design window of the JSP editor and bring up the properties dialog. You will see that the value binding is blank. If you reenter the value binding information, JDeveloper creates a new tag so you end up with the following:
<h:selectOneMenu binding="#{backing_showFactory.selectOneMenu1}"
id="selectOneMenu1"
valueChangeListener="#{backing_showFactory.selectFactoryEvent}"/>
<f:selectItems value="#{backing_showFactory.allFactories}"
binding="#{backing_showFactory.selectItems2}"
id="selectItems2"/>
<f:selectItems value="#{backing_showFactory.allFactories}"
binding="#{backing_showFactory.selectItems1}"
id="selectItems1"/>
Each time you repeat the process, JDeveloper creates another tag:
<h:selectOneMenu binding="#{backing_showFactory.selectOneMenu1}"
id="selectOneMenu1"
valueChangeListener="#{backing_showFactory.selectFactoryEvent}"/>
<f:selectItems value="#{backing_showFactory.allFactories}"
binding="#{backing_showFactory.selectItems3}"
id="selectItems3"/>
<f:selectItems value="#{backing_showFactory.allFactories}"
binding="#{backing_showFactory.selectItems2}"
id="selectItems2"/>
<f:selectItems value="#{backing_showFactory.allFactories}"
binding="#{backing_showFactory.selectItems1}"
id="selectItems1"/>
Either way, if you clean up the JSF page with the spurious tags, the value binding (in the example above backing_showFactory.allFactories), is never called.

Yes - this really is a bug. Any changes to make to the selectItems tag through the properties dialog rewrites the tag source code to seperate the selectOne tag and the selectItems tag. For example, before you use the dialog, you tag code could look like this:
<h:selectOneMenu binding="#{backing_showFactory.selectOneMenu1}"

id="selectItems2"/>

Hi,
I am sorry because of formatting but while I am entering text looks fine but in preview it is all scrambled. I was looking on the Web for similar problems and I did not find anything similar. Its very simple sample and I could not believe that the problem is in SUN JSF library. I was thinking that problem is in some ResultSet parameter or in some specific Oracle implementation of JDBC thin driver. I did not try this sample on any other platform, database or programming tool. I am new in Java and JSF and I have some experience only with JDeveloper.

JSF & h:selectItems issue

hello all,
i am rewriting my app (originally written with Struts) in JSF, and i got at a dead end where i have to display in my JSP a selectable list which
is populated using a Collection of JavaBeans.
the option value is, let's say, JavaBean.property1 and the option label is JavaBean.property2.
CAn anyone tell me how to do this with JSF? though i searched the net, i was not able to find out how can i put a collection of JavaBeans into a h:selectItems tag.
the only structure usable is a Map, but i don't want to rewrite all my collections to be Map just to populate a selectable box
anyone can help me out?
do i need to write my own JSF component for that?
thanx and regards
marco

well,you need to use a backing bean to create the collection for selectItems value.But remember, every object in the collection is a SelectItem instance.in your example, your JavaBean class need to have a properties method, and it probably looks like this:
public List getProperties()
      List props=new LinkedList();
      SelectItem item1 =new SelectItem( prop1ID,prop1LabelValue);
      props.add(item1);
      SelectItem item2 =new SelectItem( prop2ID,prop2LabelValue);
      props.add(item2);
      return props;
}and in the jsf page,you may have the following line:
<f:selectItems value="#{JavaBean.properties}"/>
hope it is helpful:)

Bug: JSF 2.0 library OEPE 12c

The OEPE 12c & WebLogic Server 12c have a bug in the deployment of the JSF 2.0 library, which generates an error:
com.sun.faces.config.ConfigurationException: java.util.concurrent.Exe
cutionException: javax.faces.FacesException: java.io.IOException: java.net.URISy
ntaxException: Illegal character in opaque part at index 43: zip:C:/Users/dvohra

jar!/META-INF/mojarra_ext.taglib.xml

Hi,
The issue is becuase the JSF library is installed in a folder that has spaces in the path. If you want to use the User Library, copy javax.faces.jar from <ws>\libraries\JSF 2.1 (Mojarra 2.1.6-FCS)\mojarra-2.1.6-FCS\lib to a folder withoutspaces and add it to a new User Library and configure the JSF Facet to use the newly defined user library.
Thanks

Bug in JSF 2?

I'm creating a fairly simple application using Weld and JSF2, running on Glassfish v3. However I have run into a problem which I can't get my head around. On one page I have a search field, which the result populates a h:selectOneMenu. From the h:selectOneMenu it should then be possible to select one of the results. This is were I get an error (or lack thereof, so to speak). The second request never reaches my RequestScoped bean, which I find odd.
I have created a very simple example to illustrate. The behavior I would expect, is the search field to be populated in the h:selectOneMenu, and then the value selected here shown in the bottom line.
If I change the bean to return a populated list for #{imTheBean.searchResult} on the first render, I'm able to submit just fine. Which is the behavior I was expecting from my example, but doesn't seem to work because I'm dynamically populating the searchResult..
<h:messages /> outputs: "searchform:searchResult: Validation Error: Value is not valid". Nothing shows in the glassfish log..
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug somewhere?

}

This is a vague error that has existed for a long time, also in JSF 1.x. If you search on that specific error in google you'll get many cries for help, with solutions.
Among other possibilities, it can happen when the list you use to fill the oneSelectMenu has different values on the postback; if the value that was selected in the menu does not exist in the backing list on the post back, you'll get this error.

ConvertDateTime: caching TimeZone: possible JSF bug?

Hi all,
I'm outputing a date field utilizing the timezone attribute of the convertDateTime tag. When I change the viewing timezone, the convertDateTime tag seems to be caching the old timezone value.
Is anyone else encountering this issue? Is it a Bug? Is there a work around?
Thanks all,
Here is some test code I wrote to expose the bug...
public class TimeZoneTest {
    private static final Log LOGGER = LogFactory.getLog(TimeZoneTest.class);
    private TimeZone timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT");
    private Date currentTime = new Date();
    private SelectItem[] availableTimeZones;
    public TimeZone getTimeZone() {
        return timeZone;
    public void setTimeZone(String timeZone) {
        this.timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone(timeZone);
    public Date getCurrentTime() {
        return currentTime;
    public SelectItem[] getAvailableTimeZones() {
        if (null == availableTimeZones) {
            availableTimeZones = new SelectItem[3];

Thanks for the reply.
It appears the "F" tags are read in once per session. In my real testcase, if I start a new session the dates show in the correct timezone. So I believe this means that any evaluated value bindings for the "F" tags would be stored at the session scope.
IMO - this is a major design flaw. Why allow for dynamic value binding expressions on a component that isn't fully evaluated when the tree is rendered?
The only way around this seems to be a custom tag.
So here is my crude outputDate custom tag - I hope this helps someone.
Disclaimer: I only tested the three attributes I made: not sure if the component is as fully functional as say a h:outputText tag.
Cheers,
Jason V.

Bug in JSF 1.2 RI using in JDev 11g

Hi,
We have found a bug in the JSF RI version used by JDev 11g TP2:
In com.sun.faces.application.ApplicationImpl.createValidator, a MessageFormat is created using an erroneous pattern : created validator of type ''{0''}. This method is called by oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.util.rich.ConverterValidatorRegistrationUtils.addValidatorById. So, when the logging level is set to FINE, this crashes our application.
FYI, this seems to be corrected in the last version (1.2_06) of the JSF RI.
We tried replacing the jsf-api.jar and jsf-ri.jar files in lib\java\shared\oracle.jsf\1.2 with that new version but we are getting compilation errors in our JSPs.
Before we spend time trying to do that, can you please tell me if that sounds like the right thing to do (or if there is another solution). Also, can you please confirm that the subsequent versions of JDev will include a corrected version of the JSF RI.
Thanks.
Olivier

Hi,
the right place is JDeveloper/jsf-ri for JDeveloper. I'll file a bug

JSF editor Bug ?

Hi everybody i'm trying the new jdeveloper 10.1.3 with jsf support , and after use it sometime, i realize that the jsf editor is not synchronizing very well the components on the backing code with the jsp document , when the backing code class isn't compiling (and it's saved in this state). This is a terrible source of error when you don't know it ...
the question is , this is a normal behaviour or horrible bug ?

Thanks, but that's not what i mean, you modify the components in the property inspector, but you don't write the methods code on the property inspector.The problem is when that code isn't compiling, if you keep using the jsp design view, the backing bean stops being updated ... if you dont realize of this bug you got desync the view with the backing ... :S

Does Oracle's implementation of JSF have this published bug?

re: jsf with filter crashes when link to static html link is clicked.
I also posted this on Sun's JSF forum and got a reply that said it sounded like this bug:
https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=146
Does Oracle know whether or not this bug is in their implementation of JSF?
Regards,
Al Malin

Steve,
I have determined that, with the JDev supplied JSF libs, a jsf with filter crashes when an invalid static html link is clicked.
Replacing jsf-api.jar and jsf-impl.jar with the ones from JSF 1.1_02, my app did not crash. Instead it correctly displayed a 404 Not Found page.
After restoring the jars and correcting the static link paths in the jsp, the links worked properly.
What a way to discover a coding error!

JSF bug in Jdeveloper - Strange behaviour in identifying duplicate IDs

Hi,
I am having a JSF called top.jsp as follows: The following code works fine for around 2 times when I run my application for around 10 times. Looks like some time related sporadic issue. Is there a workaround for this issue? This issue is really troubling a lot.
I am using Jdeveloper 10.1.3.2.0.4066.

Bug when using a Map for SelectItems?

Hi there,
I think I found a pretty bad bug.... I don't think this behaviour is intended:
I create a selectOneListbox which uses a map for storing the selectItems. The property holding the value is type compatible with the value in the map. When the component is shown, the wrong item is selected (ie NOT The one that is returned by the value property). If I use SelectItem[] for the selectItems, it works. Here is some sample code:
The methods in the bean (managed bean with the name helloBean). The value property always returns 12 .....
public Map getItems(){
    Map map = new HashMap();
    map.put("Hello_11", new Integer(11));
    map.put("Hello_12", new Integer(12));
    map.put("Hello_13", new Integer(13));
    map.put("Hello_14", new Integer(14));
    return map;
public SelectItem[] getItems2(){
    SelectItem[] items = {
        new SelectItem(new Integer(11), "Hello_11"),
        new SelectItem(new Integer(12), "Hello_12"),
        new SelectItem(new Integer(13), "Hello_13"),
        new SelectItem(new Integer(14), "Hello_14"),
    return items;
public Integer getValue(){
    return new Integer(12);
}..... here is how the selectOneListboxes are initialized ......
<h:form id="helloForm">
        <h:selectOneListbox size="1" value="#{helloBean.value}">
          <f:selectItems value="#{helloBean.items}"/>
        </h:selectOneListbox>
        <h:selectOneListbox size="1" value="#{helloBean.value}">
          <f:selectItems value="#{helloBean.items2}"/>
        </h:selectOneListbox>
</h:form>.... so both boxes refer to the same value property but their selectItems are taken from a map and a SelectItem[] array respectively. I would expect to see in both boxes the text "Hello_12", BUT:
<select name="welcomeForm:_id0" size="1">
     <option value="14">Hello_14</option>
     <option value="12">Hello_12</option>
     <option value="13">Hello_13</option>
     <option value="11">Hello_11</option>
</select>
<select name="welcomeForm:_id2" size="1">
     <option value="11">Hello_11</option>
     <option value="12" selected="selected">Hello_12</option>
     <option value="13">Hello_13</option>
     <option value="14">Hello_14</option>
</select>as you can see, only for the array the correct value is initially selected.
Can anyone confirm this is a bug - or - what i would prefer tell me how to get around this?
Thanks a lot!

If getValue returns "12" (a String value), the situation is reversed.
See the page 9-31 of the specification. It says:
4. A java.util.Map where the keys are
converted to Strings and used as labels, and
the corresponding values are converted to
Strings and used as values for newly
created javax.faces.model.SelectItem
instances. The instances are created in the
order of the iterator over the keys provided
by the Map.

Bug in JSF 2.0?

I was using JSF 2.0 + DI + Bean Validation in a app to test the new functionalities. In the end, a got a bug. When the data validation failed in a form, the entire page was redisplayed again, with the appropriate error messages but without some html components, like outputLabels and outputText. I thought that it was my mistake, but i opened the Scrum Toys netBeans example and got the same problem. Anyone here already noticed this?

if you think it is a bug, file a bug report.
I'd find it hard to believe that the Netbeans example displays the same problem and that it has gone unnoticed though. Perhaps you should first try it on a fresh installation of Glassfish V3 to see if the problem remains.

Thread bottleneck due to bug in JSF 1.1 : please help

Hi. We are using JSF 1.1 on a J2EE 1.4 server and have identified a critical a bottleneck because methods of class com.sun.faces.application.ApplicationAssociate are synchronized. This is a bug in JSF 1.1 identified by Sun (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6223295) that has apparently been fixed in JSF 1.2.
However, JSF 1.2 requires Servlet 2.5 and JSP 2.1support, and our server is only J2EE 1.4 compatible.
So what can we do ? If you have any ideas, please post.
Thanks.
Fabien Coppens

Actually, I have just tried JSF 1.1_02 and it does seem to solve the thread bottleneck problem. I'll need verification once we get into performance testing, I'll keep you guys posted.
