Calling a method in a component from main application

Hi,
I have a mxml component( menu1.mxml) . In the menu1.mxml
there is a include for the actionscript file(menu1.as). In the main
application page(SampleLogin.mxml) I want to call the method in the
btnSubmit_Click() on the saveIndex() method for case 0. I am
attaching all the code below

case 0:
menuOne.btnSubmit_Click( );
break;
Also it would probably be following best practices to used a
custom event to pass the information in your "LoginButton_Click()"
function to the application.

You absolutely _do_ have the capability to pass in a
reference to the parent
component, or to create a "hard" reference to
Application.application. But
these are not recommended practices, because anything you
create this way is
then tied to an environment that implements those properties
and methods.
Q (3): I want to run a function in my main application from
inside my
custom component. But when I try to refer to myFunction() in
that
component, I get a compile time error Call to a possibly
undefined function
myFunction. How can I fix this?
A: Your component has its own scope, so it doesn't know
anything
about the functions in the main file. You can get around this
by directly
referencing the main application scope like this:
Application.application.myFunction(). However, this makes
your component
tightly coupled, which is a quick way of saying that your
component is only
usable in an application that has a myFunction() function in
it. You're
better off dispatching an event from your component and
letting the
application decide how to handle it. For more information,
check out the

Run function in component from Main Application

Hello all.
I have my main.mxml application, that has a component inside of it. The component is called <ns1:record/> with an id of "rec".
This component has a function inside of it named doConnect(event:MouseEvent).
Now i want to be able to add an event listener to a button on the Main.mxml that will run a function inside the component when clicked.
I have managed to add an event listener to the Main.mxml that triggers a function held within the Main.mxml when a button clicked inside the component is clicked.
I did this by using this code.
            <ns1:record id="rec" x="9" y="6" camera="{camera}" microphone="{microphone}" creationComplete="makeEvent()">
            </ns1:record>             //Event listener
            public function makeEvent():void {
                rec.backbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,swapstate);
            protected function swapstate(event:MouseEvent):void {
                viewstack1.selectedChild=config;
No matter what i try thou i cant get this to work the other way around.
What i need help with is - clicking a button within the Main.mxml to run a function inside the component Record.
If anyone can help that would be great !
Thanks in advance.

Hi djh88ukwb,
From your post if I understand you correctly you want to listen for a event in record component when a button in main mxml is clicked...based on this
assumption I am suggesting you a solution...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="onCreationComplete()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
   private function onButtonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void
   rec.swapstate(event);
]]>
</mx:Script>
<ns1:record id="rec" x="9" y="6" camera="{camera}" microphone="{microphone}" creationComplete="makeEvent()"></ns1:record>
<mx:Button id="myBtn" label="Call Function in Record Comp" click="onButtonClicked()" />
</mx:Application>

public function swapstate(event:MouseEvent):void {
                viewstack1.selectedChild=config;
Please try this and let me know....
Thanks,

Show component from main application mxml.

Hi all,
     I have a main application mxml and inside has a button named show_form. After that, I design an form named Form_A. And now, I want when click on show_form button fire the Form_A and made it appear.
     Hown can I do this ?
     Thanks !

There are many ways of doings this, it depends how your forms are shown.
Are they in a ViewStack or similar container? If so just change the view from the click handler function for the button.
If they are in a Canvas/HBox/VBox, in the click handler function of the button you can do a check like if Form_A.visible==true then submit it and hide it, else submit the other form. You can also have a variable that tracks if Form_A was submitted.
If you have code, post it here and we can find the best solution with a clear example in front.

Load/Unload Component from Main Application

I want to load in my main application 2 components. At this moment I load them with this:
<components:loadProject id="loadPrj" visible="false" click="loadPrj_clickHandler(event)" verticalCenter="7" horizontalCenter="0"/>
and I only set visible to true. Inside this component there is a canvas.
But, is there any other way to do this using an AS class file? I would like to load/unload it on click, not only set true/false to visible.

For dynamic creation and destruction of objects, you want to use ActionScript.
So in your main app file, you might have a button that triggers a click handler that does this:
private function myClickHandler()void {
                var b1:CustomComponent = new CustomComponent();
                var b2:CustomComponent = new CustomComponent();
                /// Be sure to add them to the display list if they are visual components
                myPanel.addElement(b1);
                myPanel.addElement(b1);

Call a method in the view from Component Controller

Hi Friends,
I have written the code for calling the RFC in Component Controller.
My requirement is to change the properties of UI elements in the view, if I get any exception while calling RFC.
Can Call a method in the view from Component Controller.
Regards,
Lakshmi Prasad.

HI,
You can get the error message during the exception of calling RFC in view itself.
Any way you may call the RFC at some action in the view only.
Can you explain me what you are trying to do?

Need call a method of one iview from another iview

Hi,
There are 2 iviews in a component.
1) FirstView - contains abc() method & xyz() methods
2) SecondView (a popup) - asdf() method
i want to call abc() method from asdf() method. i.e. i want to call a method of the firstview from the secondview.
Note:
1) i couldn't able to copy the code of abc() method to component controller, as it has the code which uses (iview) local attributes (this can be done by context mapping) & main reason is from the method it calls the xyz() method of the same view (again i couldn't call a method of iview from component controller).
2) firstView contain 5 tabs, i want to be in the same tab from which secondview (popup) was called, if i use fire plugs between both view, the current tab will be chnaged (i suppose, not sure).
3) can we use event handlers, if yes how can we do that.
Please provide a better solution for calling a method of view from another view.
Thanks
Maha
Edited by: Maha Hussain on Jan 13, 2009 12:40 PM

Hi Maha,
It is better to have such methods in the component controller to make it reusable and avoid writing same code again and again.
You can have that method in component controller and call that method on click on a button from Iview1 and can pass the parameters in the mthgod only.
for example.
Say Method abc() which is currently in Iview1 and you are passing values from context say aa bb cc to the method now what i am suggesting is
have that method abc(String aa, String bb, String cc) ;
and call it on click on button in Iview1 and pass the required parameters.
Hope this will help

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.

Calling a method in BPM Object from jsf page

Hi All,
How do I call a method in BPM object from JSF page? Is it possible to invoke it in a manner similar to invoking a method from managed bean in JSF application?
Please help.
Thanks and Regards,
Veronica

You can use f:invoke (or f:invokea to with parameters)
For ajax calls, you can use f:invokeUrl to get the URL to a particular method within your BPM object, although make sure the Server-Side Method property is set to Yes.

This is what my exact problem.
i've created a bean (DataBean) to access the database. i'm having a servlet program (ShopBook). now to check some details over there in the database from the servlet i'm in need to use a method in the DataBean.
both ShopBook.java and DataBean.java lies in the package shoppack.
in ShopBook i tried to instantiate the object to DataBean as
DataBean db = new DataBean();
it shows the compiler error, unable to resolve symbol DataBean.
note:
first i compiled DataBean.java, it got compiled perfectly and the class file resides inside the shoppack.
when i'm trying to compile the ShopBook its telling this error.
hope i'm clear in explaining my problem. can u please help me?

Cross-component: Call method of using component from within used component?

Hi,
I began diving into cross-component programming.
Meanwhile after having digged into some scenarios some questions came up to my mind that I am not able to answer myself. I would appreciate your help here!
Say we have to components. Comp A uses Comp B (hence, B is a component usage in A)
1) How to make them communicate not on a data level (via context binding) but on a process level, thus...
a) can I call A's method from within B? How is the approach on a general level? - as B can be used from totally different components (like A, A1, A2 ...)
b) perhaps the only way to do this is by firing events? If so, how can I react in A when an event in B (marked as interface event) gets fired? As it seems they do not get registered within A directly...
I guess the question seems to be a bit tricky. Nevertheless, I think there will be plenty of you out there who used to asked them the same questions before and came up with an approach. Would be nice to hear from you.
Best wishes,
Marc @sap1

Hi,
thanks for your reply!
Indeed, I think the nature of WDA would be just to somehow map the context from the used component to the other back and forth.
Nevertheless, what if I would like to invoke a method of the using component from inside the used component.
One sample for this requirement could be e.g.:
Component B offers a tree item and a send/verify button.
Component A uses B and has some restraints regarding what the selection should look like.
The user taps the button in B (at runtime in the view container of A), the context gets updated in A and B and in Component A the verifyWithOwnConstraints() method gets called (through B).
Thanks again,
Marc

How to call a method in one JSP from another JSP?

say that I have 2 JSPs.
JSP one has a button.
JSP two has some method that, say, find the square root of the number passed from JPS one.
How to - when click - the button on page one call the method on page two?
Please note that I can not use object binding, but I want passing the actual parameter and call the method on page two.
Please note that this is an update of a previous post on the same topic called "Object scope".
Thank you all very much.

No, i dont know how to call other than main methods from other classes
And one more doubt i have i.e. Like in C can we see the execution of the program like how the code is being compiled step by step and how the value of the variable changes from step to step like(Add Watch).........

How to call partial trigger on JSFF component from separate managed bean?

Guys and Gals,
Using JDev 11.1.1.2.0. Looked on the forums and google. Initial results aren't so great.
Is it possible to call a PPR on a JSFF component from a separate managed bean? It seems calling the FacesContext in this instance calls the root JSPX, which only contains one child: the RichDocument.
      UIComponent component =
         FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().findComponent("pc1:table1");
      if (component != null)
         AdfFacesContext context = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
         context.addPartialTarget(component);
      System.out.println(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getChildCount());Returns 1 :(
Ideas for a workaround?

Thanks! Joonas, you've been a great help.
The code on the page you referenced was close, but the code on a page referenced in the user comments was even better:
http://www.jroller.com/mert/entry/how_to_find_a_uicomponent
My region is located in a facet, which the page you posted doesn't quite cover, but the page above fixed that. Here's the fix below:
In Managed Bean
      // search for the region ID (or task flow) in the base page
      UIComponent base = jsfUtils.findComponentInRoot("dynamicRegion");
      // now find component ID from within that region
      UIComponent partTable = jsfUtils.findComponent(base, "partTable");
      // call PPR on your found component
      AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(partTable);In JSFUtils utility class
   // used to locate region. Could also find any component
   // located in the base ViewRoot()
   public static UIComponent findComponentInRoot(String id) {
    UIComponent component = null;
    FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    if (facesContext != null) {
      UIComponent root = facesContext.getViewRoot();
      component = findComponent(root, id);
    return component;
    // Recursive method which finds your component within JSFF
    // regardless of facet or other UIComponents which may have children
public static UIComponent findComponent(UIComponent base, String id) {
    if (id.equals(base.getId()))
      return base;
    UIComponent kid = null;
    UIComponent result = null;
    Iterator kids = base.getFacetsAndChildren();
    while (kids.hasNext() && (result == null)) {
      kid = (UIComponent) kids.next();
      if (id.equals(kid.getId())) {
        result = kid;
        break;
      result = findComponent(kid, id);
      if (result != null) {
        break;
    return result;
}Good stuff to know!

Running a method in a class from main.mxml

So... this seems dumb, but I can't seem to run a method on an instance of a class. I should be able to
arraycollectioninstance[0].methodinclass();    //this doesn't work
I also tryed arraycollectioninstanace.getItemAt().methodinclass();
All I want to do in run the function sortByUdn() that resides in the class definition from main.mxml on an instance of an arraycolleection. How do I do this and why doesn't the above attempts work? What am I missing?
Below is my class:
package status
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
import mx.collections.IViewCursor;
import mx.collections.Sort;
import mx.collections.SortField;
import org.osmf.layout.AbsoluteLayoutFacet;
[Bindable]
public class Rack
public var currentSort:String = 'udn';
public var lowestUdn:int;
public var highestUdn:int;
public var circuits:int;
public var rackModel:String;
public var rackLevels:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection;
public function Rack(response:XMLList):void
   circuits = response[0].info.length();
   for (var i:int=0; i < circuits; i++)
    rackLevels.addItem(new Level(
     response[0].info[i].@udn,
     response[0].info[i].@circuit,
     response[0].info[i][email protected](),
     response[0].info[i][email protected]()
   findMinMax();
protected function sortByUdn():void
   var udnSort:Sort = new Sort()
   udnSort.fields = new Array();
   udnSort.fields.push(new SortField('udn',true,false,true));
   this.rackLevels.sort = udnSort;
   this.rackLevels.refresh();

Thanks for the response!!!
So my problem is that my class (Rack) has the functions, but I'm using an arraycollection of instances of this class. So in my main Application I have:
public var current_rack:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection;
then later on I'm using a current_rack.addItem(new Rack(.......) several times to make the instances.
I'm trying to call a function in one instance of current_rack[7] to perform a sort on that instance. I'm storing the sort function as part of the class, as it sorts the inards of the class instance.
I really want to current_rack[0].sortByUdn();
Though the above doesn't generate a compiler error, I get a runtime error of RangeError: 'Index '0' specified is out of bounds'
