Calling a method in the Custom ADF component from JSF page

HI.
I have created some custom compoents by extending the core ADF Components. Like i have a ComboBoxDefault component with it's ComboBoxDefaultTag.java and Controls.tld file.
Now my requirement is i want to bind my label to this component from the JSF page. like
<fwcontrols:label binding="#{listComponents.comboBoxDefaultLabel}" id="label1"/>
<fwcontrols:comboBoxDefault binding="#{listComponents.cmbLocales}"
value="en_GB" id="comboBoxDefault" autoSubmit="true" label="label1">
<f:selectItems value="#{listComponents.locales}"/>
</fwcontrols:comboBoxDefault>
In my JSF page the label will have an id, and that id will be specified in the label tag of the component.
In Tag.java file i have overrided the setProperty(FacesBean facesBean). In this method i have bind all my properties. In core JSF the setProperty method is provided with the UIComponent parameter, so i can call my method in component also. Which is not in case of ADF Faces.
My main point is how i can call my method setLabel() which is in ComboBoxDefault.java so that i can set the label.
Thanks in Advance.

Thanks for all your replies. I want this kind of a functionality because Im trying to invove a DC (Child DC) from a Parent DC such that the Child DC's view is displayed onto the view container of the Parent DC. I have embedded using 'interface view of a component instance' in the Parent Window and am able to create the component and set usage though the onPlugDefault of the Child View.
But I observe that when i make a call from the parent, the flow is like this:
1. The wdDoInit of the Child Component Controller gets triggered first.
2. Then the wdDoInit of the Child's VIEW gets triggered
3. and THEN the onPlugDefault of the Child Component Interface View
What I had actually wanted was to Fire onPlugDefault where Im calling a method LoadData(), after which the Child DC's view must be triggered so it can display the fetched data.
What is actually happening is the view gets displayed, but no data is displayed in the view.
Right now I have just given a work around where Im triggering LoadData() of the COmponent COntroller from the wdDoInit of the VIEW.
Is there a better way to do this? I find it strange that I have to load the Data from the view.
Thanks
Jack

How to Call a method that takes in a parameter from JSF Fragment

Hi,
When we want to call the getter method of a backingbean field in a JSF Fragment we merely do a #{bean.fieldName} which will ensure that a getFieldName () will be invoked on the bean....and the value is returned.
Now Suppose i have a method say
String method1(String) and i wnt use this method in the JSFF. How woudl i do that because this method is taking a parameter so i cannot do a plain #{bean.fieldName}
Any ideas
Thanks
Karthik

Hello Karthik,
You can achieve it using an EL hack. If the managed bean implements map, then an expression like #{bean[myParameter]} will call bean.get(myParameter) and you can then redispatch to your other method.

How to call standard SAP method in the Custom Program ?

Hi,
i need to call sap standard method 'OpenItemRollinout' in my custom program. For the SAP Standard method 'OpenItemRollinoun' the BOR(Business Object) is 'PAYSCHEME'. So how to call the SAP standard method in the custom program ???

Hi,
In the method that you have provided only one function module is being used so better use the FM and copy the remaining code based on ur requirement.
FM is ISU_S_PAYSCHEME_ROLLIN_ROLLOUT.

Call a method in the view from Component Controller

Hi Friends,
I have written the code for calling the RFC in Component Controller.

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?

How to invoke updateDisplayList method in the custom layout?

I've a group of buttons that get placed in a SkinnableDataContainer with the help of a custom layout class as follows:
<s:SkinnableDataContainer id="buttonsContainer"
 dataProvider="{appModel.myButtons}"
 width="{DIAPLAY_WIDTH}" height="{BUTTON_HEIGHT+4}"
 skinClass="view.skins.ContainerSkin"
 itemRenderer="view.renderer.MyButtonRenderer"
 click="startPointAreaClickHandler(event)"
 mouseMove="areaMouseMoveHandler(event)"
 mouseUp="areaMouseUpHandler(event)"
 rollOut="areaMouseOutHandler(event)"
 >
 <s:layout>
 <layout:ButtonsLayout />
 </s:layout>
</s:SkinnableDataContainer>
myButtons is an ArrayCollection of VOs and VO has x and y coordinates as fields. Values of x and y determine the location of the button. When I add an object to myButtons, the application behaves as expected (adds a button in buttonsContainer at specified x and y coordinate). But when I just change values of x and y of an existing button, the buttons don't get repositioned. I have tried calling invalidateDisplayList on buttonsContainer but that doesn't trigger updateDisplayList method in the custom layout ButtonsLayout.
How do I trigger updateDisplayList method in the custom layout so that the button positions get updated whenever an event changes values of x and y of a button?

How to make set up with first call of method of a custom class?

Hello
I have build a custom class with a few custom methods.
Method1 is called per every record of internal table. I need to set up certain parameters tha are the sme for all the calls (populate the range , to fill the internal table , etc). This should be done only once.
call method ZBW_CUSTOM_FUNCTIONS=>METHOD1

 O = parameter2.
Loop at ....
 <itab>-record1 = parameter2
endloop.
Methods2, 3 , 4 dont need any set up.
Can somebody tell me how to do it within class?
Thanks

Instance methods (as opposed to static methods) are called on an object, which is an instance of a class. Broadly, think of the class as a template for the creation of objects. The objects created from the class take the same form as the class, but have their own state -- their own attribute values. In pseudo-ABAP (this won't even close to compile), let's say you have the following class:
CLASS cl_class.
 STATICS static_attr TYPE string.
 DATA attr1 TYPE string.
 DATA attr2 TYPE i.
 CLASS-METHOD set_static_attr
 IMPORTING static_attr TYPE string.
 cl_class=>static_attr = static_attr.
 ENDMETHOD.
 METHOD constructor
 IMPORTING attr1 TYPE string
 attr2 TYPE i.
 me->attr1 = attr1.
 me->attr2 = attr2.
 ENDMETHOD.
 METHOD get_attr1
 RETURNING attr1 TYPE string.
 attr1 = me->attr1.
 ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.
When you create an instance of the class (with CREATE OBJECT oref), the constructor is implicitly called. You can pass parameters to the constructor using: CREATE OBJECT oref EXPORTING attr1 = 'MyString' attr2 = 4.
You then call methods on the instance you have created. So, oref->get_attr1( ) would return 'MyString'.
The constructor is called when the object is created (so, when you call CREATE OBJECT). At this time, the setup is done, and any subsequent methods you call on the object will be able to use the attributes you set up in the constructor. Every object has its own state. If you had another object, oref2, changing its instance attribute values would not affect the values of oref.
Static methods and attributes are different. A static attribute exists only once for all instances of the class -- they share a single value (within an internal session, I think. I'm not sure of the scope off-hand.) You also call static methods on the class itself, not on instances of it, using a different selector (=> instead of ->). So, if you called cl_class=>set_static_attr( static_attr = 'Static string' ), 'Static string' would be the value of static_attr, which belongs to the class cl_class, and not instances of it. (You can also set up a class constructor, which is called when the class is loaded, but that's another subject.)
To answer your question more succinctly: no, the constructor is not called before each method. It is only called when you create the object. Any subsequent methods called on the object can then access its attributes.
Please have a look at [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/48/ad3779b33a11d194f00000e8353423/frameset.htm] for a more thorough treatment of basic object concepts. (The rest of that documentation is very thin, but it'll get you started. Also, it doesn't appear to deal with statics. You'll have to look elsewhere for that.)

Calling a method in the backing bean when rendering a table

I'm rendering a table that begins with :
<h:dataTable value="#{showRooms.rooms}" var="rowRoom" ...
There are several properties I'm displaying. Some are just displayed as they appear from the database like:
<h:outputText value="#{rowRoom.roomNumber}"/>
However, some I need to translate so they display a more meaningful message to the users. For example, status is stored 'A', or 'NA', but this should display 'Available' or 'Not Available'. To do this, I'm taking an idea I saw in another forum by providing a method to call and translate the text. For example:
public String getDisplayedStatus(String status) {
if (status.equals("A") {
return "Available";
} else {
My problem is how can I invoke a method and pass in the current value of status for that row in the table. I think I need something like this:
<h:outputText value="#{showRooms.getDisplayedStatus(#{rowRoom.roomStatus})"/>
But that doesn't work. I can invoke the getDisplayedStatus method when passing in a hardcoded parameter, but it won't translate the value of both expressions(the method and the method param). How can I achieve this?
Thanks,
Mike

Yes. I've done that and it does work....sort of. It works as long as I refer to it as 'displayStatus'. It looks up the getDisplayStatus and returns a value. The problem is getting the current status value from the object in the List. For example, the 3rd row in the table has either 'A;' or 'NA' for status. I need to know this value in order to do my translation. The way I see it, I either need
1.)a way to call a method on the backing bean and pass the value of status from the current row into the method.
-or-
2.)in getDisplayStatus, I need a way to access the current row's value, perhaps through an expression. This appears to be what you can do in the AbstractPageBean class that all backing beans inherit in Studio Creator. I've seen code in a getter like 'getValue(#{currentRow.status}'), but I don't know how that is done. I looked for the source to AbstractPageBean on the web but couldn't find it - maybe its not open-source.
Anyway, please share if anyone has a solution. I'm sure this has been done before.
Thanks,
Mike

Error calling a method of the tree control in BDC

I'm connecting two systems Iplan(project management tool) with SAP PS using SAP XI.
I've written an BDC(RFC) to assign people for the activity in an project(cj20n) it works fine in the foreground. But it doesn't work in the background.It doesn't give me error also.I've sap all authorization.
When I connect with XI its throwing me an error "Error calling a method of the tree control" message type A (using the same user to connect r3). I believe something we should do prior handling the tree control in a BDC. IF any body come across this situation please let me know. your help is appreciated.
Regards
Anand

BDCs over enjoy transactions do not get along together. The containers and controls is more of a gui thing, and in background sometimes the BDC has a hard time with them. I would suggest using the non-enjoy tcode instead, CJ20.

Go to sm37 - double click on the job that was failed - Click on Step (on application tool bar) to get the program name - double click on the program name - new popup will be opened - then copy the program and variant
Go to se38 - enter the program - execute (F8) - choose the variant that is there in the background job - run in forground first
if the run is good - then check the program - SE38 - Display the program then see
I just saw the above message BD87... .if that is true, you dont have to do all these
I dont think it is possible to schedule a job with BD87. Is this the first time or is any job completed without errors for this?

How to initialize an adf component before a page loads

Hi all
I use JDeveloper 11.1.2.2.0
I have two pages:
first page has a link to a second page
<af:document title="first.jspx" id="d1">
<af:form id="f1">
 <af:commandLink text="Page 2" id="cl1" action="goToSecondPage" actionListener="#{Bean.handleLinkActionEvent}"/>
</af:form>
</af:document>and the second page has an inputText component:
<af:document title="second.jspx" id="d1">
<af:form id="f1">
 <af:inputText label="Text" id="it1" binding="#{Bean.inputText}" readOnly="true"/>
</af:form>
</af:document>First I load first.jspx and than I click the link. This event is handled in handleLinkActionEvent() method, in which I want to set a value to the inputText component of the second page. But I can't do it, because as expected I get NullPointerException.
So the question is how to initialize an adf component before a page loads?
Evgeny Michuk
Edited by: Evgeny Michuk on Oct 4, 2012 11:30 PM

Thanks a lot for your replies and links, it gives me some new knowledges.
I got your approach and achieved the aim for the described situation with tag <f:setPropertyActionListener>:
<af:commandLink text="Page 2" id="cl1" action="goToSecondPage"
 actionListener="#{Bean.handleLinkActionEvent}" binding="#{Bean.firstPageLink}">
<f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{pageFlowScope.text}" value="Hello, World!"/>
</af:commandLink>and for the inputText component I set the value:
<af:inputText label="Text" id="it1" binding="#{Bean.inputText}"
 readOnly="true" value="#{pageFlowScope.text}"/>I used request scoped managed bean and it is shared for both pages.
I understand that I can set a value of some attribute for managed bean
and use it to set a value for inputText component of the second page,
but as I understand it is almost the same way as usage of tag <f:setPropertyActionListener>.
In my real situation on the second page I have a dynamic table, and it's field is read only.
Structure of this table depends on a link clicked on the first page.
So I define components for table columns in runtime, it may be outputText, inputDate, goLink and some others.
And I have to get table through the UIComponent binding to set columns.
Certainly I can define all needed components for all columns
and render it according to the column types
<af:table value="#{Bean.collectionModel}" var="row" id="t1" binding="#{Bean.mainTable}">
 <af:forEach items="#{Bean.columnDescriptionList}" var="column">
 <af:column headerText="#{column.caption}" id="c1">
 <af:outputText value="#{row[column.fieldName]}" id="ot1" rendered="#{column.type == '1'}"/>
 <af:inputDate value="#{row[column.fieldName]}" id="ot2" rendered="#{column.type == '2'}"/>
 <af:selectBooleanCheckbox id="sbc1" selected="#{row[column.fieldName] == '1'}" rendered="#{column.type == 'n'}"/>
 </af:column>
 </af:forEach>
</af:table>but I think it is not very good.
Have you any idea?
P.S. I hope I clearly explained my situation =)

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.

Setting required to create Business partner record in SAP GTS for the customer who transferred from the SAP ECC system

Dear Experts,
Can you please suggest me list of activities require to automatically create Business partner record in SAP GTS for the customer who transferred from the SAP ECC system .
i.e If I create the customer master record and transfer the same CMR to SAP GTS , what are the setting requires to maintain in SAP GTS sytem to automatically create the Business partner .
Ram

Hi Raghu,
Below are the main settings required to enable you to transfer Customer Master Data to SAP GTS. Please note that their is a difference between, Customer Master Record and Customer Master Data in terms of data and for GTS, we transfer Customer Master Data. Hence, below are the settings required:-
In SAP ECC system:-
Activate the change pointers for Customer Master Data apart from enabling basic connection settings.
Schedule a job to run at regular intervals to transfer all the customer master data for the available change pointers to the SAP GTS system
2. In SAP GTS system:-
Maintain the Mapping for ECC Customers to SAP GTS Business Partners in the General settings area of the SPRO in SAP GTS system
Ensure that the Number range is maintained for those GTS Business Partners.
Also, some time you may be required to maintain the organisational structure to ensure full working.
I hope this will be helpful to you.
Regards,
Aman
