Client side in a custom Tag

hello everybody,
I need to know how I can execute a javascript in a custom validator Tag without specify it in the Tag but in the ValidatorTag.java and the ValidatorTag.tld. My problem is to render comprehensible JSF for a non-coder so I must code all the java program outside the JSF code as the non coder program just the JSF Tag.
thanks a lot for your answers

You should have look at chapter 9 of the Core JSF e-Book. There is an example with client side validation of a spin field (page 396-400)

Good luck

Simultaneous Client and Server Form Validation using Custom Tag Library

I am developing a custom tag library for validator tags
which are capable of doing client side validation (Javascript)
and server side (Java). My problem is with the development
of a regular expression based validator. Because of differences
in the way Javascript and Java handle regular expressions
i can not use the same regular expression for both types of
validation. Is there any way to convert a valid regular
expression from the java.util.regex format into the Javascript
format or vice versa? My major problems are with the (or, ||)
statements and the user of backslashes.

If you are speaking of RE syntax flavours, they are basically the same(namely perl5 flavour). Any expression that works in JS should work in j.u.regex too.
Though, their usage is quite different.
So, there is no need for convertion of expressions.
But porting the code may be not so trivial.

Custom Client-Side Video Codec for Standard Linux Flash Player

I'm new to Flash development, so please excuse my naivete. I'd like to have the standard Linux Adobe Flash player use an experimental client-side H.264 codec I am working on when playing FLV media (even if embedded within an SWF file) instead of the standard one bundled with the player. Is there any way to accomplish that?
Thanks,

The problem, at least in my case, was QtCurve's opacity. If I have opacity set to less than 100%, flash would not display for sites like Youtube and Vimeo, but worked elsewhere.
The solution for me was to go into qtcurve's settings, and put npviewer.bin in the application exceptions section for window and menu opacity. Doing that, I was able to keep my transparent menus, and also use flash everywhere.
You can find out what the application name is by launching your browser of choice in a terminal with qtcurve debug turned on, like so:
QTCURVE_DEBUG=1 firefox
If you watch through the lines that start with "QtCurve" you'll see "Application name". Look for the one that shows up when you try to load a video. In my case it was npviewer.bin. In yours, it might be nspluginviewer or something else. If you add an exception for that specific application, you'll fix your problem without having to compromise on your theme.

Custom Tag -- Custom Component problems with iframes

I have a "project" component that originally iterated over a list of models and created/renderered the corresponding (and fairly complex) interactive UI components for those models. On the client-side, the output from these were then organized neatly into "tabs" via CSS ... all on one page. Since these UI Components are so hefty, when any iteraction was done on one of them, the whole page had to re-render and things got just plain slow. To get around this limitation, I decided to have my "project" component no longer create the UI components himself, but instead generate an IFRAME that points to a page that will generate a single component. This way, any iteraction will just cause that single IFRAME to refresh.
Due to the fact that an IFRAME can only be populated by using the src attribute, I have created a page that contains a JSF View (<faces:view>) and inside is a single custom tag of mine (<mine:displayView>). Let's call this page singleDisplayView.jsf. I create iframes that point to singleDisplayView.jsf with different request params for each (singleDisplayView.jsf?modelName=Foo, singleDisplayView.jsf?modelName=Bar, etc.)
The displayView tag has one attribute called requestQueryString and I use the tag like so:
<t:displayView requestQueryString="<%=request.getQueryString()%>" />The displayView tag's class is DisplayViewTag. In DisplayViewTag::setProperties(UIComponent uiComponent) method, I get the model name out of the request map and set this property on the UIComponent.
The problem is that I'm noticing that as the main page (that contains these frames) loads, setProperties() is only being called twice. After that, the components created by subsequent iframes just seem to be using the modelName from the second frame.
Is there a syncronization issue I don't understand?
Any ideas?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

On a possibly related note, I read this in an article of the JSF application lifecycle:
In the first phase of the JSF lifecycle -- restore view -- a request comes
through the FacesServlet controller. The controller examines the request and
extracts the view ID, which is determined by the name of the JSP page.Could it be that the lifecycle is trying to reuse components from a single view, since all these iframes are pointing to the same page?

Struts 2 Client side validation getting skipped.

I am doing a simple program using struts 2. Usually in struts2 bean class will be combined with action class unlike in struts 1.2. But for enhancing readability I made a seperate bean class and I reference it in my action class. But after seperating bean from action class Client side validation using xml is not happening. It is getting skipped. But server side validation inside execute() is happening. Will anyone please help me to find a solution to make client side validation run.
here are the different files.

I was trying to do it through creating a new validators.xml where I would redefine all struts built in validations and add de definition for my custom Validation (<validator name="checkUser" class="com.custom.CustomUserValidator"/>). Then I define the ActionClassName-action-validation.xml refering to my custom validator (checkUser). The com.custom.CustomUserValidator Class has to extend FieldValidatorSupport or ValidatorSupoort (depending on what kind of validation).
Ok that's it, this is the theory, now the custom validator (checkUser) is executed before my action but I don't know how to do it so that if the validation fails i return to the same page showing the error message to the user without having to execute the target action. Does anyone know how to do this????

NO Client side JAVA

I need to develop a JSP that contains no client side JAVA.
By making use of JSP Bean Actions - would this not be considered using client side Java?
Any other adice on creating a JSP without using any client sode Java would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance.

Thats right, JSP contain Java Code or References to Java Objects which are all resolved on the server side and the output is sent to the client (browser).
The page could contain client side java if you embed Java Applets into your JSP.
I'm not sure if you mean that you don't want to have any "Java Code" in your JSP, such as :
<% if()......%> etc. then you have to go for Custom Tag Libraries and Java Bean Components.
See the links below for help on these:

Good Luck!

GWT javascript client side RPC Call

Greetings, I'm currently developing a web application with Google Web
Toolkit. Basically i need to call a RPC from GWT from the client side,
in order to get some kind of data.
I've been currently searching and I've found JSNI which can write
javascript code in the java, but i can't seem to get it work the right
way.
Thank you in advance.

Steve,
Webflow is a server side technology. The only way to affect the invocation of
webflow from the client side is to change the origin and event parameters sent
to the webflow engine. These parameters must be passed via a request. There simply
is no way to interact with the webflow engine without a request/response.
OK, you may be able to hack something together using an Applet, RMI, and by using
internal webflow APIs. But you don't want to do that; that's not really an option.
Is there a way to call javascript methods
from BEA's tag libs? No.
Do I need to write my own tags and make
references to the objects that are used for webflow?I assume you mean that you would create custom JSP tags that would invoke directly
IPs and PCs. This would not accomplish what you want and would defeat the webflow
architecture.
Here is what you can do:
1) you could create your own custom JSP taglib that would insert JavaScript into
the HTML form along with the <input> tag. I don't know how hard this would be.
2) you could forget about using JSP tags, and simply use a JavaScript library.
You would need to code your HTML properly to use this technique. I did a search
on www.google.com and found a good article on exactly how to do this:
http://www.zdnet.com/devhead/stories/articles/0,4413,2326270,00.html
Post back if you have more questions.

Okay, webflow is cool and all, but I'd like to be able to do both client-side
and server-side validation. Server-side is taken care of with the InputProcessors,
but there's not a way to do onSubmit or onChange using the proprietary
webflow tags.
Question: How do I do this? Do I need to write my own tags and make
references to the objects that are used for webflow?
I'd really like to be able to encapsulate all this at once.
Maybe I just need to ask this: is there a way to call javascript methods

Can i make own formatted textbox using custom tag

Hai,
Can i create own format textbox similar to vb activex control.for example i want make own formatted textbox for enter only numeric value if entry any alpha value it's show error.Is this possible using custom tag

Hai,

activex control.for example i want make own
formatted textbox for enter only numeric value if

If you mean a custom text box in a web page without an applet (in other words an html component), then Java has nothing to do with it. And by mentioning activex (even only in a 'like' comparison), and custom tag, you are once again hinting that you want an html component. I think you need to place your request to a JavaScript Forum, which, once again, has absolutely nothing to do with Java.
A "custom tag" in JSP is not an HTML Tag. It may look a little like an html or xml tag, but it is evaluated on the server side. The control you need must be executed on the client side, which, once again, tells me you need to post to a JavaScript forum.

How to generate rule log on client side

I am looking for a solution where I could generate a rule log and make it available on client side. I know generating a log during consolidation and save it on server. However, I want to make it available on client side.
I have created four scenarios in HFM application, namely -
1. ACTUAL_REPORTING - To capture TB data and use it for reporting
2. ACTUAL_ICP - To capture ICP data and run custom business rule as per requirement
3. ACTUAL_ADDINPUT - To capture additional memorandum inputs
During consolidation,data is copied from ACTUAL_ICP and ACTUAL_ADDINPUT to ACTUAL_REPORTING. However, problem is that user should consolidate ACTUAL_ICP AND ACTUAL_ADDINPUT scenarios first. If they miss executing the consolidation in these scenarios, then the data copied would be wrong. Just as to ensure this, there's a provision is HFM to check calculation status in rule file and looking at that, calcuation could be stopped and a message could be sent to the user. But delimma is, how to report the same on the user side.
Possible solution that I could have thought are -
1. To generate a rule log and post the same to the client, but how to do this? As path of the rule log could be of the server only (that is C:\Hyperion\Logs\Rule)
2. To generate a rule log and pop a web page terminating consolidation, but how to do this?
3. To raise an error from the rule file and direct it to the system messages, but how to to this?
Please advice and any further clarification is required please contact me.
Thanks & Regards,
Mustafa

You can define the output folder as a share, which has already been mentioned. I strongly advise against implementing any solution that in production will regularly generate an external file.
1) The output file is generated by the DCOM user. If you want this user to generate a file in a specific location, it must be writeable by the DCOM user, and readable by the intended human user. Make sure both NTFS and share level permissions on the target file and its containing folder consider this. Latency for the file write can degrade performance.
2) Most HFM implementations have two or more HFM application servers. You have no control over which server will execute the file, and also no control over what happens if two or more servers try to write to the same file. You can create a process which causes HFM to become single threaded if every time Sub Calculate for any entity on any server needs to open a single file. This is because the file object is single threaded. It could be multi-threaded if you write out to a database, but certainly far more complex.
3) Wait state: while as in #2, this can single thread the process, and you have to consider whether your process will error out during moments when another process has access to the file, or if you will ignore that and simply proceed. This can have a significant impact on performance time if you decide to wait until the file becomes available.
While I have done implementations where the overall solution required combining data across multiple scenarios, I consistently find this a cumbersome, error-prone, and poorly performing approach. For this reason, I always try to keep all of the data required in a single scenario. This is one key reason why the "DataSource" or "DataType" (or whatever you call it) approach is so popular and successful.
Finally, you cannot write to the HFM system messages. You can, on the other hand, use Calc Manager to write out to a system log.

How to use KeyChain API from client-side HTML scripting in Safari on iPad?

I have a requirement where I need to add client-side scripting in an HTML page to be supported by Safari on iPad that creates a private / public key pair and that creates a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) in PKCS#10 or SPKAC format that can be sent to a certification authority server using form HTTP/POST that will then return the generated certificate.
I initially thought that I could simply use the HTML 5 tag <keygen> which can do exactly what I need, but unfortunately this tag is not at all supported on mobile Apple devices like iPad or iPhone, so I have to look for another solution.
I have noticed that the KeyChain tool should be available on iPad using the documented API, but I have no idea based on the documentation whether the API can be called from client-side HTML scripting on iPad.
Question : is it technically possible using the functionalities and API's exposed on an iPad to implement what I just described in HTML client-side scripting? If so, do you have some links with useful information that can help me on my way?

How to copy a page( webpart page) with its content using client side.

How to copy a page(in my case webpart page) with its content(it may contain webparts) using client code (i mean using SPservices or ECMA script).
What i am planning is ,to give end user a page where it will contain text box to specify name of page and a button with the help of content editor webpart.
where on click of button we need to write client side code such that it should create a new page from a existing page in a library with given name by user.
Any suggestion would be helpful. For your information we can do it through UI with the help Site Actions / Manage Content and Structure.But i want to automate it using client side code.Server side code is restricted.
or can we create a template of an existing page with content without the help of sharepoint designer.
Thanks in advance
with regards Ravichandra

The Group Policy client-side extension Scripts failed ...

This is an error I've been seeing forever and it was always the impression that upgrading would resolve it, but it never has even in 10.3. 100% of our users get these errors in the Event Viewer:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1085
Date: 10/21/2010
Time: 8:04:52 AM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: XXXXXX
Description:
The Group Policy client-side extension Scripts failed to execute. Please look for any errors reported earlier by that extension.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
We also seem to have flakey policy issues where once in awhile a user will not be able to logon to Windows with Workstation Only while getting the " not allowed to logon interactively" message, other times the users report not being able to access the Windows Date and Time Properties and further sometimes they are unable to make system changes.
We have troubleshooted this and the only resolutions we've found are to run zac cc, zac ref, zac pl and sometimes it seems like deleting c:\windows\system32\grouppolicy will help.
In regards to the Event Viewer entry I posted, on any given machine I can issue the command gpupdate and it will put another entry into the Event Viewer (sometimes multiple ones). I've learned through research that if I "clean up" c:\windows\system32\grouppolicy\gpt.ini the errors go away, but once the policy is refreshed they come right back.
This is the version ZenWorks gives the users:

I'm not sure how to get Zenworks to use the cleaned up version nor and I too sure what those extra extensions are and how they got in there. I may need to contact Novell in regards to this, but since I'm already working on an SR with them I figured I'd go ahead and post here first.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Here are the groups I'm using. NOTE: These have been in affect throughout the issues experienced. Users will work perfectly fine then suddenly the problem will start happening without any policy change on our side.
-Member of-
Network Configuration Operators+
Remote Desktop Users+
Users+
-Assigned Rights under a group I called "Other Rights"-
Access this computer from network
Change the system time
Log on locally
Shut down the system
The only condition I have is that these issues happen when logging in Workstation Only and I'm not able to recreate the problem on demand with tests.

local group that has been assigned that right.
If using "DLU", make sure the user accounts are a member of "Users".
And If anyone was messing with security policies, make sure they did not
take away "Interactive Logons" from anyone.

Merging randomly-named XML data file on client-side with pdf designed in Livecycle 7.0 (and addition

Okay, as a heads up I work for a financial institution and we are converting our legacy "jetforms" to pdf format. I have in my staff for the project, 2 code developers and myself- a form designer. We have currently spent 2 months in trial and error attempting to resolve this problem, please let us know anything you can have. All client-side (internal) machines are running Windows XP and Adobe Reader 7.0.7
The software we use as a financial institution allows our users to export a customer's data file onto their machine which is then renamed to include the member's account number and first and last name for our staff to determine which data file they need more accurately. In legacy jetforms, we have developed a program that pushes the data from the customers file that they select, into the jetform that they want to open and the matching fields in the data file fill in the fields of the jetform. Clean and simple.
Now, i have hit nothing but frustration when attempting to perform the same process with pdfs using a form designed in livecycle designer 7. First, i see no obvious command for opening a pdf and importing a data file using a command line, like pdfmerge or something of the sort in which an xml data file can be specified and a pdf can be specified. I saw something like it using an fdf format and attempted to do this but apparently reader cannot import the data into the pdf that was designed adobe livecycle 7. All i have been seeing is database connections and using javascript inside the form to populate fields based on these database connections, etc. etc. or doing a manual file>import data>etc. which we don't want to have our staff do. We do not have reader extensions enabled, simply because i cannot get an adobe representative to call me and discuss pricing nor see any estimated pricing chart around. I don't know if reader extensions are necessary for this or not but i'm becoming very very frustrated with it.
We don't want a complex server-side data connection binding with dynamic input. No, we just want it where our developers can say "if this data file is selected, and this pdf form is selected run this command" which would be a simple pdfmerge type solution. Is this possible or do i need to stay with jetforms until our software the billion dollar financial institution uses does form building inside its own application? I don't want to fight about who is better, what version to use, etc. I just want the straight up honest truth. If you need to know the pricing that the reader extensions would have to go by, assume there will be 500 client computers that will need to use it.

From your post it sounds like you are Central Pro (a product for which I am by no means an expert), but you say you want to upgrade to a newer product from your "legacy" one. Is there a reason for this? Have your requirements change so that it no longer fits them? Central is still in the current Adobe roster and as far as I know there is no plans to get rid of it any time soon, so if it does everything you want I don't see why you would want to change.
There is no product in the LiveCycle suite that merges xml data into a form from the command line. LiveCycle (with the exception of Designer) is a suite of server products, so the closest you would come is LiveCycle Forms (merge the xml and create a fillable PDF) or LiveCycle Print (merge the xml and print the form).
Hope this helps somewhat.
