But when i click on the subscriber section for the contextual event, i can see only some bindings of the page.. How can i call a method on backing bean as a subscriber..
Thanks

Hi,
this article has a use case for the POJO approach: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/issue-archive/2011/11-may/o31adf-352561.html
Another is to define a method binding in the receiving PageDef file and configure it as explained here

Any way (event) to call Java method after view created in JSF 2.0

Hi,
I am using JSF 2.0 Mojarra's implementation.
I am interested to know if there is a way to call Java methods before and/or after view has been restored.
I wanted to initialize data for my page in this Java method.
I could see there is an event class PostRestoreStateEvent added in JSF 2.0. How to use it?
I tired to use f:event element as below, but it does not work. Can anyone share anyother idea to achieve this behaviour?
<f:metadata>
<f:event type="postRestoreState" listener="#{employeeLoadBean.loadAfterRestoreView}"/>
</f:metadata>
Regards,
Kishore K S

Hi,
The problem is solved as below.
<f:metadata>
<f:event type="javax.faces.event.PostRestoreStateEvent" listener="#{employeeViewEventListener.postRestoreState}"/>
</f:metadata>
The above calls the Java method #{employeeViewEventListener.postRestoreState} whenever View has been restored.
It was not working when shortName of the event (ie., postRestoreState) is given and throwing ClassNotFound exception.

Ralph

Hi,
Basically, I would like to call a method that I have written in the page java bean, or in the session bean, or application bean, or an external bean, from the javascript events (mouseover, on click, etc...) of a ui jsf component. I.e., I would like to take an action when a user clicks in a column in a datatable.

How to call a static method from an event handler

Hi,
I'm trying to call a static method of class I designed. But I don't know how to do it. This method will be called from an event handler of a web dynpro for Abap application.
Can somebody help me?
Thx in advance.
Hamza.

To clearly specify the problem.
I have a big part code that I use many times in my applications. So I decided to put it in a static method to reuse the code. but my method calls functions module of HR module. but just after the declaration ( at the first line of the call function) it thows an exception. So I can't call my method.

Calling of an observer method in ActionComponent

Hi
I like to call a method of an observer of a panel in my ActionComponent class.
- How can I do that?
- Have I to write an Interface to the observer class, get this interface via the boss of the panel and call then the method? If yes how can I get the boss of the panel in the ActionComponent class?
Thanks for any help.

You have to hop a few objects. Follow this trail:
ISession::QueryApplication
IApplication::QueryPaletteManager
IPanelMgr::IsPanelWithWidgetIDShown(yourPaletteID)
IPanelMgr::GetVisiblePanel(yourPaletteID)
IPanelControlData::FindWidget(yourWidgetID)

Is it possible to call a method in a servlet from a java script ?

I need to do a dynamic html page . In the page i select some things and then these things must communicate whit a servlet because the servlet will do some DB querys and update the same webpage.
So is it possible to actually call a method of a servlet from a java script? i want to do something that looks like this page:
http://www.hebdo.net/v5/search/search.asp?rubno=4000&cregion=1011&sid=69DHOTQ30307151
So when u select something in the first list the secodn list automaticly updates.
thank you very much

You can
1. load all the options when loading the page and
set second selection options when user selected
the first; or
2. reload the page when user select first selection
by 'onChange' event; or
3. using iframe so you only need to reload part of
the page.

How to call a method in backing bean on hitting 'Enter' key on a page.

Hi all,
I would be obliged if any one can provide me solution for the below given problem.
My requirement is to call a method in backing bean when i hit 'Enter' key on a JSP page.
I am trying this by using a script given below.
*function fnChangeFocus(){*
*if(window.event.keyCode==13){*
* document.getElementById("mainform:submitForm:commandbutton").focus();*
The JSP has the textbox as given below.
*<h:inputText id="inputtxtboxid" disabled="false" value="#{Bean.inputvalue}"*
onkeypress="fnChangeFocus()" size="24" />
Using this I could not acheive the required functionality. Please suggest some alternative.
Thanks,
Jagadeesh Pala

Only a form element supports the submit() function. Make sure that the getElementById returns the appropriate form. Or rather pass the element as the 'this' reference to the function and get the parent form from it.
After all this is just basic DHTML / Javascript+DOM knowledge and in fact this has nothing to do with JSF. For future basic DHTML / JS+DOM questions you may take a look at the appropriate forums, e.g. dhtmlcentral.com, dynamicdrive.com, etcetera.

Issue with calling a method activity before page render

Hi All,
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.7.
I am trying to achieve the approach defined in "1.b. Calling a Method in Backing Bean:" elaborated in the blog - https://blogs.oracle.com/adf/entry/an_epic_question_how_to
As illustrated, I defined a default method activity (binding to a method in managed bean) and a view activity activity in a bounded task flow.
When I launch the application (running the view activity), following error is encountered -

Many thanks for the suggestions.
To avoid confusions, I have created a new application altogether. It seems that the method call is not being called when I run the page.

Problem calling a method which takes a parameter from a table

Hi guys,
I'm very new to jsf and hope you can help me out.
On my page i'm generating a list, which is working fine. now i want to add some commandLinks to the list entries. on click, i want to execute a bean method, which takes a parameter from the list, generates a picture and displays it on my page.
here's a piece of code thats already working:
<rich:dataTable var="data" value="#{pathwayBean.orgList}">
<rich:columnGroup>
        <rich:column>
           <h:outputText value="#{data.name}" />
     </rich:column>
</rich:columnGroup>
</rich:dataTable>now, i want to replace the outputText with a commandLink, and execute a method with {data.id} as parameter. Unfortunately, the commandLink property "action" can only call bean methods with no parameter, or is that wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

use actionlistener.
here a typical code that works fine for me:
(JSF 1.2)
//Java
private Integer selectedItemId=null;
     public void selectItem(ActionEvent event) {
          // Find the UIParameter component by expression
          UIParameter component = (UIParameter) event.getComponent().findComponent("itemId");
          // parse the value of the UIParameter component
          try {
               selectedItemId = Integer.parseInt(component.getValue().toString());
               // find itemBean here using selectedItemId
          } catch (Exception e) {
               logger.error(e, e);
          logger.info(" +++ selectedItemId =" + selectedItemId);
     public String viewItem() {
             //create view beans here
             return "itemView";//return appropriate view.
//JSF
<h:column>
                         <h:commandLink     id="View"
                                             action="#{itemListBean.viewItem}"
                                                   actionListener="#{itemListBean.selectItem}">
                              <h:outputText value="select"/>
                              <f:param id="itemId" name="itemId" value="#{itemBean.id}"/>
                         </h:commandLink>
                 </h:column>

Browser Dependency when calling a method in backing bean using a javasript.

Hi all,
I have a problem which may look simple but bugging me for quite some time.
The problem is : When I call a method in the backing bean using a Javascript, (the method can alternatively be invoked by clicking on a command link) I am facing an exception (stack printed below).
The strange part is that...I am getting this exception only when I use Internet Explorer. It works absolutely fine when I use Mozilla or Netscape browsers. Also, even in ie, it is working fine when I click on the link directly. The probem comes only when I invoke the action using a javascript.

Calling a method in Class from webdynpro

Hi All,
I have to perform some action when i click the button created in my webdynpro screen.
However I must not write the code for the button action inside the button event. But I have to create a class and inside the class i have to create the method for this button event.
Can anyone tell me how to call a method in a class created in SE24 from webdynpro on clicking the button.
Thanks in advance.

hi..
When you want to perform some action after clicking a Button, then you have to write the code only in 'Events' - 'On Action' event. From your question, i assume that, you wanna use Assistance class in your webdynpro so as to increase better performance. Here is the link which will guide yuo with screen shot for using assistance class in WD-ABAP.

Trying to call a method on an RMI server from a GUI

Hi all, I'm new to the forums and I desperately need some help!
My question fits into the RMI category but also the database/GUI side so sorry if this is posted in the wrong place.
My application is a client/server system (programmed in Netbeans 6.8) that also uses GUIs and JDBC-ODBC. Basically, I am trying to call a method that adds an entry to my database from a GUI button.
Due to the required RMI, I have the ServerInterface that extends Remote and I have a ServerImpl class that implements the Interface, and the RMI works fine so there is no problem there.
My code for the button is:
private void addUserActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
try{server.addNewUser("new");}
catch(Exception e){}
addUser.setText("buttonhaschanged");
The server variable is declared above as ServerImpl server;
The actual addNewUser method works fine when it is called explicitly via RMI in my main "Client" class, but this GUI is going to be like an "administrator GUI" that can manipulate the database, so there is no RMI involved here.
Anyway, my button doesn't have any effect on the database, but the button changes text as desired so the button itself works, but it doesn't do what I want to the database, so I think my problem is the use of my "server" variable. I've tried making it static and I've tried making it of type ServerInterface, but no luck. Would I have to make the GUI class extend the interface too?
Sorry for rambling on!
Many thanks in advance
David

Would I have to make the GUI class extend the interface too?Your GUI has nothing to do with the RMI. How did you obtaint the "server" ? have you looked in the RMI registry to get the stub object ?
The second thing to notice is you are invoking a RMI calls on a EDT which you should not do it. Your RMI method calls should be invoked via SwingWorker-->doInBackground(); please take a look at the Java Doc
[http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/SwingWorker.html|java Doc SwingWorker sample usage]
You mentioned that the RMI method invocation works fine from the main class and not from the GUI so what did you do in the main class to get the stub do it in the doInBackground() method

Calling a method of another Object

I have 3 panels, panelMain, panelA and panelB
panelMain is the "main" panel which holds panelA and panelB.
When a button is clicked in panelB, I wish to call up the a method in panelA, but I get the error
"non-static method cannot be referenced froma static context"
What might be the problem?

It's normal, to call a method of an instance, you must have a handler on the instance. In your case, panelB must have a handler ( a kind of reference if you want) on panelA (i.e. panelB must know the instance of panelA to call a method of panelA).
For example :
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class PanelB extends JPanel {
     public PanelA panelA; // to keep the instance of panelA needed to call the methods of panelA
     JLabel messageLabel;
     public PanelB() {
          super();// optional
          JLabel label = new JLabel("This is the panelB");
          add(label);
          JButton button = new JButton("Call panelA method");
          button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                    panelA.showMessage(); // call a method of panelA
          add(button);
          messageLabel = new JLabel("");
          add(messageLabel);
     public void setPanelA(PanelA p) { // initialize panelA with the required instance
          panelA = p;
     public void showMessage() {
          messageLabel.setText("Message from panelA");
class PanelA extends JPanel {
     public PanelB panelB; // to keep the instance of panelB needed to call the methods of panelB
     JLabel messageLabel;
     public PanelA() {
          super();// optional
          JLabel label = new JLabel("This is the panelA");
          add(label);
          JButton button = new JButton("Call panelB method");
          button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                    panelB.showMessage(); // call a method of panelB
          add(button);
          messageLabel = new JLabel("");
          add(messageLabel);
     public void setPanelB(PanelB p) { // initialize panelA with the required instance
          panelB = p;
     public void showMessage() {
          messageLabel.setText("Message from panelB");
public class MainPanel extends JPanel {
     public MainPanel() {
          super(); // optional
          setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2,0,0));
          PanelA pa = new PanelA();
          add(pa);
          PanelB pb = new PanelB();
          add(pb);
          pa.setPanelB(pb);
          pb.setPanelA(pa);
     public static void main(String[] arg) {
          JFrame f = new JFrame("My Frame");
          f.getContentPane().add(new MainPanel());
          f.setBounds(100,100,300,300);
          f.setVisible(true);
}I hope this helps,

Calling a method after 10 seconds

Hello,
I need to call a method after 10 seconds. That is to make sure that if one particular field is updated, say 3 times in a window of 10 seconds, I should just be able to take the last value and process it, in my ajax app. I am so far using the Timer class, but the problem is, it ticks off a thread for every single request to be processed after 10 seconds and processes all the 3 requests, where as I should just be running that method once for the last request. Could you please help me with this ?
Cant do this at the client level, for the page may be closed within those 10 seconds of the event and the setTimeout wont work then.
This is what I made so far.:
final Map<String, Object> mp = new HashMap<String, Object>();
if(form.getEmpId() != null )
            mp.put(form.getEmpId().toString(), form);
            new java.util.Timer().schedule(new java.util.TimerTask()
               public void run()
                  EmpForm form1 = (EmpForm)mp.get(empId.toString());
                  String empId = form1.getempId().toString();
                  String value1Changed = form1.getValue1Changed().toString();
                  String value2Changed = form1.getValue2Changed().toString();
                  myService.changeData(empId, value1Changed, value2Changed),
            }, 10000);
         }

Thanks for replying

My recommendation is that you share an AtomicReference between your timer and the listener that is receiving the updates. This way, the listener can just update the value, and the timer uses the latest one when it wakes upOk, out of my limited understanding, I looked up AtmoicReference and found it a class. I think I cant use that since I am maintaining a list of empIds against the object that holds their data in a hashmap, expecting the map to override the empId on the second request. So, I made a final map and thought Id just push the timer scheduler method in another method, but the problem is, for me to ask that thread (which I expect to run after 10 seconds of my calling) to run, I need to call it somewhere, and as soon as I get a request I am calling the method which runs/ticks off the thread.
I was thinking that since I am passing and using a final map (that I declared as a class level variable), I will be able to put update the map object and whenever the thread runs, will fetch the latest value (of the empId) in the map. But I guess I am doing it wrong. :(
