Calling a backing bean method by clicking on an image.

I have several HtmlGraphicImage (h:graphicImage) objects on a page. I would like to be able to call a method inside the backing bean for the JSP page where the images are located when the user clicks on one of the images, and have a parameter sent to that method in the backing bean that will tell it which image was clicked on.
How can this be done? Unlike buttons that have an action that gets listend to in the backing bean, HtmlGraphicImage objects do not have actions. I know that you can intercept clicks by an onClick Javascript method, but how can you call a mehtod in the backing bean using the Javascript onClick?
For example, part of my JSP looks like this:
           <body style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); -rave-layout: grid">
                <h:form binding="#{InitialReport.form1}" id="form1">
                    <h:graphicImage binding="#{InitialReport.frontalImage}" height="204" id="frontalImage" style="left: 144px; top: 240px; position: absolute" width="242"/>
                    <h:graphicImage binding="#{InitialReport.profileImage}" height="198" id="profileImage" style="left: 432px; top: 240px; position: absolute" width="244"/>
                    <h:graphicImage binding="#{InitialReport.smileImage}" height="198" id="smileImage" style="left: 720px; top: 240px; position: absolute" width="244"/>If my backing bean (InitialReport.java) had a method that looked like this:
public void setCurrentImage(String imageName)what would the javascript look like in order to send a name to setCurrentImage?
Thanks!

you can use the <h:button> with type='image'Thanks for the reply, but I cannot use that. The thing is, the images are read at run time from a database and are not present in the resources. The button's image only takes String file names, not URLs.
There should be a way to do this using onClick.

Calling a backing bean method after load of fragment in adf

I needed to call a backing bean method after page load of fragment in adf.
I used the method suggested in:
https://community.oracle.com/message/11044570
only difference is im giving the if clause as:
if (refreshFlag == RegionBinding.RENDER_MODEL ) {
instead of
if (refreshFlag == RegionBinding.PREPARE_MODEL)
It was working fine, but page was not getting refreshed so used the code as mentioned in example:
public void refresh() {
          FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
          String refreshpage = facesContext.getViewRoot().getViewId();
          ViewHandler viewHandler =facesContext.getApplication().getViewHandler();
          UIViewRoot viewroot = viewHandler.createView( facesContext, refreshpage);
          viewroot.setViewId(refreshpage);
          facesContext.setViewRoot(viewroot);
Now issue is once page is loaded and backing bean method is called, the refresh code refreshes the page and upon page load, refresh method is called again in recursive fashion.
please advise what to do in such scenario?
I tried to do selective refresh using some variable(also with static) but it does not help as page wont be refresh at all or page will keep refreshing recursively.

Use clientListener on the page load event

How to call the backing bean method through javascript

Hi
I have a command button associated with actionListener . Action Listener method associated with backing bean methods.
I want to fire the event on command button and backing bean method should be invoked from javascript dynamically.
can anybody help me asap

JSF<h:form id="formId">
<h:commandButton id="buttonId" value="submit" actionListener="#{myBean.action}" />
</h:form>JSdocument.getElementById('formId:buttonId').click();

How to call the backing bean method through javascript by closing window?

Hi all,
What I want to do is:
I open a new page by clicking <t:commanLink.../> from the first page. Then I close the new page. By closing the new page I will call a function in the backing bean such as myBean.doSomething() to do something. Such like:
<body onUnload=jsFunction()..../>
...

So far I understand, I should write following code
in my second page:
<html>
<head>
<script type="txet/javascript">
function jsFunction()
{>
ocument.forms[0].action="#{myBean.doSomething}";
document.forms[0].submit();
</scrip>
</head>
<body onunload="jsFunction()">
<ui:composition>
<h:form id="myForm">
<t:commandLink id="myLink" immediate="true"
action="#{myBean.doSomething}"
value=""></t:commandLink>
</h:form>
</ui:composition>
Is that right? I am not sure if I've the javascript
in the right position.I am sorry! That solution will not work. My Bad.
You can try this.
1) Have a invisible command button on your first page with the action attribute set to "#{myBean.doSomething}" as below
<t:commandButton style="width:0px;height:0px" id="myButton" immediate="true"
action="#{myBean.doSomething}"
value=""></t:commandButton>2) Your JS onunload method on the second page should look like
<script type="txet/javascript">
function jsFunction()
var buttonObject= window.parent.document.getElementById("formname:myButton");
buttonObject.click(); // This would help in submitting the first page
// to submit to the needed action method
</script>Karthik

Urgent: calling my backing bean method.

I have a menu option implemented as a <h:commandLink> component and I want to call a MailBoxBean's method call checkMailBox(). This method checks some information on a database and returns a "success" String if everything is ok. The Bean is "configured" so that redirects to a mailbox.jsp if the "success" String is thje outcome. The information is shown on mailbox.jsp.
The problem is that I can't get to the checkMailBox() method through the <h:commandLink> component although I have written the action attribute like this: <h:commanLink action="#{mailbox.checkMailBox}">.
What's wrong with this?

Thanks for answering so quickly. The fact is that I have my Bean declared and the navigation rule setted both in my faces-config.xml file.
The firts problem I am having is that the menu option implemented with that <h:commandLink> component is not correctly rendered as I get some kind of javascript error, but I can see much more cause I'm using MS's Explorer.
<h:commanLink action="#{mailbox.checkMailBox}" immediate="true">
<h:outputText value="Check mailbox"/>
</h:commandLink>
Is these correct??

How to call backing bean method when user tabs out of af:inputListOfValues field

Hi,
I am using jdev 11.1.2.4.
I want to call a backing bean method based on the value selected in the af:inputListOfValues field.
The requirement is similar as Frank Nimphius-Oracle has demonstrated here https://blogs.oracle.com/jdevotnharvest/entry/how_to_notify_the_server but with Input List of Values component.
The fields I want to call method from is
<af:inputListOfValues id="appealNameId"
                      popupTitle="Search and Select: #{bindings.AppealName.hints.label}"
                      value="#{bindings.AppealName.inputValue}"
                      label="#{bindings.AppealName.hints.label}"
                      model="#{bindings.AppealName.listOfValuesModel}"
                      required="#{bindings.AppealName.hints.mandatory}"
                      columns="#{bindings.AppealName.hints.displayWidth}"
                      shortDesc="#{bindings.AppealName.hints.tooltip}"
                      binding="#{backingBeanScope.backing_Donation.appealNameId}"
                      autoSubmit="true" clientComponent="false">
                      <f:validator binding="#{bindings.AppealName.validator}"/>
                      <af:autoSuggestBehavior suggestedItems="#{backingBeanScope.backing_Donation.onSuggestAppeal}"/>
                      <af:clientListener method="onBlurTxtField" type="blur"/>
</af:inputListOfValues>
<af:serverListener type="onBlurNotifyServer"
                   method="#{backingBeanScope.backing_Donation.onBlurNotify}"/>
as you can see, af:serverListener is outside the af:inputListOfValues which probably is the reason its not executing this method?
public void onBlurNotify(ClientEvent clientEvent) {
   // get a hold of the input text component
   RichSelectOneChoice inputTxt = (RichSelectOneChoice) clientEvent.getComponent();
   //do some work on it here (e.g. manipulating its readOnly state)
   //Get access to the payload
   Map parameters = clientEvent.getParameters();
   System.out.println("SubmittedValue = "+parameters.get("submittedValue"));
   System.out.println("LocalValue = "+parameters.get("localValue"));
I've tried to put serverListener tag inside the <af:inputListOfValues> but getting below error
"Server Listener is not valid child of Input List of Values"
any ideas please?
thanks

As first, check to see that you are using correct type for af:serverListener (thet one you are queue in the javaScript onBlurTxtField function)
If still does not work, go to directly to the page source code, and put af:serverListener "by hand", as a child for af:inputListOfValues.
Because it is possible that these messages are false alarm...

How to call Backing Bean method from href tag in JSF. -- URGENT

Hi guys,
i am new to JSF. i want one option. how to call a backing bean method from href.
I searched a lot. i found one component <commandLink>, but i cann't use <commandLink> i have to use only href which is client instructions.
If anyone knows pls help me. Its Urgent. If u can, give me the code also.
Suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks

You can make use of the constructor of the backing bean or the @PostConstruct annotation if you want to use managed properties.
You may get some ideas out of this: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2006/06/communication-in-jsf.html].

Is it possible to call any Managed Bean method from af:goLink

Hi,
I am using RichGoLink component.
Is it possible to call a managed bean method on click of the af:goLink? I want to provide some validations when user clicks on the goLink.
There is no any actionListener provided.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am able to resolve my second problem also.
i wanted to set the "destination" of the goLink on the fly. To do this I created a custom componnt by extending the RichGoLink and I override the encodeBegin method in that class. In this method i check my condition and then set the "destination" property.
I am still using the clientListener and the serverListerner to do some further testing that i wanted to. Here one thing you have to keep in mind that. In the javascript function that we are calling in the clientListener should not do the "cancel" on the event object, if you do so it will not navigate to the required position.
Thanks for the way you showed to resolve my problem. Hope you understand the way i worked for this solution.

***How to Invoke backing bean method by DOUBLE-CLICK the table ROW!!***

Hi,
How can I collect the selected row value & navigate to next page by DOUBLE-CLICK the result table row.
My application got searchResult page where I am displaying the list of user in result table. Then selecting any one row and navigating to master details page by clicking the continue button. Button Action method will collect the selected row userID which I am forwarding to the masterDetails page.
Same functionality I want to do by double click the row instead of clicking the button!!. I want to trigger the backing bean method if the user double click the row basically. Please help me in this how to do this?
Current button action method:
*public String userSelected() {*
FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding binding = (FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding) searchResultTable.getSelectedRowData();
currentRow = binding.getRow();
selectedNetID = (String) currentRow.getAttribute("netid");
System.out.println("selectedNetID -->"+selectedNetID);
requestContext.getPageFlowScope().put("netid",selectedNetID);
return "continue";
*}*

Puthanampatti ,
Yes, I am using the same. Below is my code. I am trying to get the object of the MAIN jspx page region (where I am displaying the fragments) and refresh the one. But cant able to get the object for the region it is returning null. without refresh seems the navigation wont work.
public void doDbClick(ClientEvent clientEvent) {
FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding binding = (FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding) searchResultTable.getSelectedRowData();
currentRow = binding.getRow();
selectedNetID = (String) currentRow.getAttribute("netid");
System.out.println("selectedNetID -->"+selectedNetID);
requestContext.getPageFlowScope().put("netid",selectedNetID);
try{
FacesContext facesCtx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
NavigationHandler nh = facesCtx.getApplication().getNavigationHandler();
nh.handleNavigation(facesCtx, "", "continue");
System.out.println("region obj -->" +facesCtx.getViewRoot().findComponent("advse1"));
// Refresh the current region; advse1 is the id of the region component inside jspx page
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(facesCtx.getViewRoot().findComponent("advse1"));
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Error is: " +e);
Is this correct coding to get the region object?? actually the "result table" and "Master details" are 2 different fragments which are linked with task-flow and the task flow is part of main jspx page as a region. I am using that region ID to get the obj, but cant able to get so....!!! any idea

SelectOneMenu: How can I fire a backing bean method just when click

I want that when just I click one option of Dropdown list it fires a backing bean method.
The method must take the new value of dropdown, to execute a SQL to populate a new (another one) dropdown list and refresh the page.
My code
                        <h:commandButton id="button1" style="left: 216px; top: 216px; position: absolute" value="Cancelar"/>
                        <h:commandButton id="button2" style="left: 312px; top: 216px; position: absolute" value="Generar"/>
                        <h:outputLabel for="componentLabel5" id="componentLabel5" style="left: 120px; top: 0px; position: absolute">
                            <h:outputText id="componentLabel5Text" value="Título de la Página"/>
                        </h:outputLabel>
                        <h:selectOneMenu immediate="true" value="#{fgstb.ctoId}" valueChangeListener="#{fgstb.cambiaValorCtos}" id="dropdown1" style="left: 264px; top: 72px; position: absolute; width: 120px">
                            <f:selectItems id="dropdown1SelectItems" value="#{fgstb.ctos}"/>
                        </h:selectOneMenu>
                        <h:selectOneRadio id="radioButtonList1" layout="pageDirection" style="left: 48px; top: 48px; position: absolute" value="#{fgstb.modo}">

                        </h:selectOneRadio>It works fine but when I push a button and I would like it works when I click over dropdown list.
Thank you

Hi,
You can simply add onchange="submit()" attribute to your component to allow form to be submited when the coomponent value is changed, and add also a value change listener to allow JSF to be notiifed for component value change event :
<h:selectOneMenu onchange="submit()" valueChangeListener="#{fgstb.cambiaValorCtos}"
                          immediate="true" value="#{fgstb.ctoId}"   id="dropdown1" style="left: 264px; top: 72px; position: absolute; width: 120px">
                            <f:selectItems id="dropdown1SelectItems" value="#{fgstb.ctos}"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>

ADF Faces Declarative Component onLoad event call Backing Bean Method

Hello.
We are trying to implement a declarative component, that will be used as Flex Fields for our application, ie, the components will be created dynamically through a database configuration, and who is responsible for organizing and creating the components, is the declarative components, and its own backing bean.
The declarative component, will receive a List of custom components, and with this list it is possible to create the components dynamically. We want the components to be created as soon as the page is loaded. The developer could place this declarative component in any region of his page, and even in another tab if he wishes. The problem is, that we cannot register a load event in the declarative component, since it doesn't have a document Object, to call the declarative components backing bean method that is responsible for creating components.
How could we simulate the onLoad (of the declarative components) so that the backing bean method (responsible for creating component, and putting it in the view tree) could be called ?
I've tried with a RENDER_RESPONSE phaseListener, but the beforePhase has no objects in the tree, and the afterPhase has already rendered to the client.
Any ideas on how to achieve this ?
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
John

Hi Frank, thanks for the response.
I'm curious about the dynamic declarative component. Any place I could check it out ?
Back to my scenario. I'll try to be more clear to what we need!
We have to have dynamic creation of components, based on a database configuration. This will allow our customers to have custom flex fields, without the need of us developing custom pages for each customer.
One solution we are trying out, is the declarative component. Why ? Because the developer (when developing the page), knows that this specific page, is possible of customization by the client (custom flex fields). With this, the developer would choose where on his page the custom flex fields will be placed. Note that at this point (design time), no component (input, buttrons, etc) is created. The idea of the declarative component, is just so the Developer knows where he wants the custom fields placed in his page (a tab, below the form fields, in a another panel group, and so on). The declarative component, has only a container, PanelFormLayout, and no other component.
What we want, is a way of calling our managed bean (the managed bean of the declarative component, that now I did configure it in the adfc-config.xml file , thanks for the tip) method, that's responsible for creating the custom components. The declarative component, receives a list of all the custom fields that needs to be created, at design time, through an attribute. The developer is responsible for setting this list when he drags the declarative component on his page.
Now that I've put the declarative components managed bean in the adfc-config.xml file, the @PostConstruct is called correctly, but I still have a problem. At this moment (postContstruct call), my component PanelFormLayout (that is binded to the managed bean), is null. So I cannot add any component to the PanelFormLayout.
Am I way out of line here Frank ?
Really appreciate your comments.
Thanks a lot.
John

Calling Backing Bean Method with h:outputLink

Is there a way to call a backing bean using h:outputLink isntead of h:commandLink ?

No, you can't. You however can just let it point to a JSF page and make use of the constructor of the involved request scoped managed bean.
