Client-side programmatically submit???

Hi!
I need to make SelectOneChoice to submit ONLY when user press enter key (standard autosubmit is not acceptable as it submits each time user scrolls a list with cursor keys - which 99% users do!). So I need to "catch" enter keyPress with clientListener. But I have not found any documentation on ADF RC client-side API.
Any help appreciated!

Hi Frank!
You are right on this. Thank you for consideration and filling ER.
In addition, true root of my problem is a fact that selectOneChoice is not considered Action source! The ValueChange event happens before Update Model phase, and any action bindings inoked even from ValuChange event are mostly useless (as the new value selected in list is not yet updated in bindings). I have to trick the ADFm by using auxiliary property in backing bean to indicate that value is changed and then to let ADFm executable to fire the appropriate action in Render Model phase.
Anyhow, all this is very complicated to achieve very simple and common use-case: invoce some action binding (i.e. method in Session Bean) on autosubmit of selectOneChoice (most likely same should be available for other list components).
Considering that most agile UIs rely on drop-down lists (and other lists) that mass data-entry users prefer to use only with keyboard navigation, this I consider major drawback in ADF RC component functionality. And I appeal on ADF team to consider implementation of this enhancement ASP.
I would like to hear form Simon and Ric on this issue also. I stress that such "accessibility" is of great importance for certain UI uses-cases.

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

Why does IE8 running on XP and Win7 Virtual Machine deletes the history while I'm still browsing the same site with client-side hashbang routing?

Hello,
I have a asp.net mvc 5 web application running on .net 4.5 hosted on my local windows 8 machine on macbook pro using parallels. I'm running Internet Explorer 8 Version: 8.0.6001.18702 running on XP and Version: 8.0.7601.17514 running on Windows 7 Enterprise.
I've got both of the virtual machine source from www.modern.ie
My web application is attempting to provide single page user experience by having some client-side routing by using '#!/xxx' hashbangs in the url so that I can get and post via ajax and change the hash in the url without causing the page to reload. My
code works fine in IE9+ and other modern browsers.
However, I'm facing this strange issue in both of the IE8 versions. When running my demo app in IE8, I can login, view home page and can navigate from this home page to many details page. From the very first login page, all the pages are the result
of form's post action via ajax which then expects html from server and loads in the DOM. The page structure of my app is like summary form => Details page (can also contain summary forms) => Details...so on.
The above process works fine for few of the navigation steps. If I keep navigating from one page to another & go back, I have observed that the browser back button is removing the history items slowly. And a time comes when it totally forgets about
all the history pages that I visited to reach this current page I'm viewing!! It treats like I have just started my browsing session and this current page is the first page I've landed on with no back option. Now if I again try to navigate, I have encountered
problems like both the back and forward buttons gets disabled.
Hope, my words above is clear enough to explain this problem. The same application works fine in IE9+ and other browsers.
Till now, I have tried following steps on both VMs:
Resetting IE8.
Increasing disk space to 1024mb for temporary internet files storage.
Setting 'Never' for Check for newer versions of stored pages.
Disabling the automatic crash recovery feature didn't helped in this case. Found this on support website.
Deleted temporary files, history, cache, etc many a times.
Search many forums, posted question on StackOverflow, ASP.NET
Forums - but didn't helped.
Tried 'beforeunload' event of browser to see if any of the page is reloading because of submit or any other reason. But the page doesn't reload at all.
The issue is browser forgets about the browsing history while I'm still browsing the same site.
Is there any possible fix for the issue above? Does IE8 have any issues as many ajax form post is happening on every page?

I have really tried many things to identify any possible reason of the issue above. Even rewrote all my javascript navigation code and checked server-side code.
But the only place where I got the solution is at site: http://www.enhanceie.com/ie/bugs.asp which states that there is a bug in IE8 which reads like:
IE0012: IE Travellog broken when navigating back/away from a page with
a large POST form If there is a form input field with a value longer
than 523,659 characters, when you navigate away from the page, IE may
clear the current session's travellog (similar to history), disabling
the back and forward buttons. Repros in IE6 & IE7.
There are following solutions that you can go for:
- Check for the input field that has lots of characters as mentioned above and solve your problem.
- If you have control over the system where IE8 will be used, you can add the following registry key on that machine. There is no existing key, so, you need to add a new one:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TravelLog] "MaxSize"=dword:ffffffff
I am really relaxed to find this information as I spent really long time to solve this issue. Hope this will help someone.

How to Disable client side validation for the message text input

Hi,
I have scenario where i need to by pass the client side validation for a message text input
Scenario is
I have a message text input field(say XYZ), i set the max length for the item as 20
Now when im trying to enter the greek characters into it, it is allowing me to enter till 20 characters
But when i try to submit the form ..my client side validation is firing..
The Error says the XYZ is too long
The problem is, in greek each character takes two bytes.(In english it is only 1).While entering the content it allowing 20 characters and when validating it is checking for bytes(if we enter in greek the length will be 40 bytes not 20)
I cannot increase the max length .coz i have restrict the character length to 20 only.(english or Greek).
Please help me in this regard.
Regards
Sandeep.

Thanks for the information.But we dont have any option either declaratively or programatically to disable the client side validation for the message text input..I referred java docs ..i dint find any method which does..
Correct me if im wrong

javascript are run on the client side.. but i think what you actually mean is getting some validation to your database without submitting the form?. yes it doesn't consumes time and memory of server.. why not use ajax so you can only submit a little request.. rather than submitting the whole page..

STRUTS: client-side validation in jsp using DynaValidatorForm

I am supposed to work on struts on as project and it is like learning a crash course and work the next day.
In Struts 1.1 enviroment, I am using DynaValidatorForm to create a bean form and then perform validation.
1. I write a DynaValidatorForm definition in struts-config.xml
2. I write xml for action so that when /getQuotes.do in invoked by a jsp form, the form data is put into the QuoteDetailsBean.
3. add the plugin script for ValidatorPlugIn
xml fragment from struts-config:
//form bean
<form-beans>
<form-bean name="QuoteDetailsBean" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
    <form-property name="forename" type="java.lang.String"/>
   <form-property name="surname" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-bean>
</form-beans>
<action
        path="/getQuotes"
        type="com.kainos.quickquotes.struts.QQGetQuotesAction"
        validate="true"
        name="QuoteDetailsBean"
        input="/userform1.do"
        parameter="save"
        scope="session">
        <forward name="success" path="/pages/jsp/result.jsp"/>
        <forward name="back" path="/userform1.do"/>
</action>
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
     <set-property
         property="pathnames"
         value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validation.xml"/>
</plug-in>Now I write a validation code for getQuotes.do. note that I can write the validation code with
<form name="QuoteDetailsBean"> but this form bean is shared by many jsp, so i am using the name of the action
(getQuotes) as the name of the form in the validation.xml.
So far this looks okay, as I am going by some example.
xml fragment from validation.xml:
<formset>
          <form name="/getQuotes">
             <field property="forename" depends="required,minlength">
                <arg0 key="QuoteDetailsBean.forename" />
                <arg1 name="minlength" key="${var:minlength}" resource="false"/>
                <var>
                   <var-name>minlength</var-name>
                   <var-value>2</var-value>
                </var>
             </field>
             <field property="surname" depends="required,minlength">
            <arg0 key="QuoteDetailsBean.surname" />
            <arg1 name="minlength" key="${var:minlength}" resource="false"/>
            <var>
               <var-name>minlength</var-name>
               <var-value>2</var-value>
            </var>
             </field>
</formset>Now I write the JSP. I use the <html:javascript> tag to allow front-end validation based on the xml in validation.xml.
The jsp code:
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-bean" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-logic" prefix="logic" %>
<html:html locale="true">
<head>
<title><bean:message key="welcome.title"/></title>
<html:base/>
<html:javascript formName="/getQuotes"
            method="validateForm"
            dynamicJavascript="true"
            staticJavascript="false"
            cdata="false" />
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFCC9F">
<html:errors />
<html:form action="getQuotes.do" onsubmit="return validateForm(this);" >
Forename:</td> <td>��<html:text property="forename"/></td></tr>
<tr> <td>Surname:</td> <td>��<html:text property="surname"/></td></tr>
<html:submit value="Quotes" /></td></tr>
</html:form>
</body>
</html:html>Does this looks okay. I wrote so far based on some tutorials n help online.
Now when I open the JSP and then do a submit, there is no validation (I tried by submitting with empty forename and surname. I mean i could invoke the action class and the invoke class
redirects(forwards) to the appropriate path. so the code works fine except validation is not done
Q1. So what should i do more to get client-side validation?
What actually happens in client-side validation? does a pop up alert appears?
nothing happens so far in my case.
Q2. What should I do more for server side validation. Since the form is incomplete, what happens?
I thought the same form returns and the error messages are printed in the jsp page since i have the <html:errors />
tag just below the <body> tag.
The action class is pretty simple so far:
public class QQGetQuotesAction extends Action {
    public QQGetQuotesAction(){
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
             ActionForm form,
             HttpServletRequest request,
             HttpServletResponse response)
    throws Exception {
        DynaValidatorForm dynaform = (DynaValidatorForm)form;
        System.out.println("forename:"+dynaform.get("forename");
        System.out.println("surname:"+dynaform.get("surname");
        return forward=mapping.findForward("back");
}Please help me out. I think I am missing something which i need to do
thanks

I think the validations are to be declared on the form
name and not the action path.
Your formName is QuoteDetailsBean but your are using
the action path(/getQuotes) both in the validation
rules and the jsp tags. Use the formName on both the
places.
Also your html:javascript tag will not generate the
static javascript to validate the fields. For this you
will have to add code like below.
<html:javascript dynamicJavascript="false"
staticJavascript="true"/>
Other options is to set the attribute
staticJavascript="true" in your html:javascript tag.
Hope it helps.hi
staticJavascript="true" did the trick. :)
I think the validations are to be declared on the form name and not the action path.It is not necessary. You can declare the validation on the action class. This is essential if a form bean is shared by several JSPs having its own action class. This is as per as I read in a tutorial and it works.

Does URL Services support client side script?

My ASP page it built as a portlet, and displays fine but it
won't submit. When I view the Source in my browser, Portal
didn't include any of my client side vbscript script, then html
is there but everything else is missing....
Question: Does URLServices support client-side VBScript?
I am using some vbscript for validation purposes and then
using the document.ChangePassword.submit() to submit the
form.
If URLServices doesn't support it, then URLServices is totally
useless... Everyone uses some kind of client-side script to
validate the form!

Hi Rea,
Per my understanding you want to know some information about using the Visual Studio to do the debugging, right?
Example, If you want to debug a customized extension for SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS) in Visual Studio, you can attach the process to ReportingSerivcesService. We need to check the items "Show processes from all users" and "Show
processes in all sessions" to show the "ReportingSerivcesService. exe" process.
Additionally, please make sure the customized extension is invoked in the Reporting Services(make sure all configurations is set correctly), otherwise we won't be able to run into the breakpoint. More Details information in this article for your reference:Start
a debugging session for a Store app in Visual Studio (VB, C#, C++ and XAML)
You can also add the debugger keyword in the code, see
Debug JavaScript and jQuery using Visual Studio in Internet Explorer browser

Client-side handler: static config?

I would like to provide a client-side JAX-RPC handler that would
be invoked without any modification to existing client code.
The idea is that user's would only need to modify a config file
(something like the web-services.xml file, but on the client-
side) to use our handler.
We are already doing this in axis (uses a client-side deployment
descriptor: client_deploy.wsdd), but based on another thread
("Client Handler Chain - help ??"), it looks like there is
currently no equivalent in WLS?
Are there plans to add the ability to statically configure
client-side handlers in WLS via some sort of client-side config
file/descriptor, or is the programmatic method of modifying
the HandlerRegistry in the client code the only way?
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!

In 7.0, you can do this in a handler:
import weblogic.webservice.binding.soap.HttpClientBinding;
String url = http://my/new/address/;
sslAdapter = null; //only needed for ssl
Binding binding = new HttpClientBinding( url, sslAdapter );
context.setProperty( WLMessageContext.BINDING_PROP,
binding );

Manoj, thanks for the response.
We'd definitely like to see a client side dd at some point, but
can work with the API's for now. Thanks much for adding this as
a feature request.
On another subject:
I need to determine the target/endpoint URL from my client-side
request handler. Again, this was something we were able to do in
axis, but is currently not part of the JAX-RPC standard (JSR101).
I could be missing something, but haven't seen any way of
determining the target URL given only the SOAPMessageContext.
The only way seems to be if it were passed as a "standard"
property in the SOAPMessageContext (this is one way it is done
in axis).
I imagine this will someday be standardized in JAX-RPC (I can
think of many uses for this feature, other than our own). In the
meantime, could you also add this as a feature request for WLS?
Thanks again,
-Terry

True. In WLS 7.0 there are no client side dd in which you can specify

It is quite easy to register the handlers through APIs. Let us know
if
that will not help you.
I will add client side dd as a feature requst for the next release.

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????

Struts client side validation....

Hello all,
I am using struts client and server validation but only the server validation works. I tired looking around the forum but wouldnt find any similar problem.
I am getting value from the previous action class and i am able to successfully retrieve and display the value. I inserted the value in a object and pass over to my jsp. When i try inserting the validation, the server side works fine but i get nth on the client side. I viewed the source code of my jsp and the JAVASCRIPT is successfully inserted but no pop up when i leave the fill blank. Please advise mi..

ADF validator or JavaScript for client side validation ?

using JDev and ADF 11g
Problem description : To apply validations such as date range check, pattern matching, maxlength etc.. on ADF Faces Components.
Solution 1: Use ADF validator such as Reg Expr validator, Max Length validator
Souliton 2: Write Javascript code for validating the component's value at cleint side.
When using ADF Validator for such type of validation checking, a request is send to the server for processing (additional overhead) . However we can do such validations with javaScript functions without the need to interact with the server. So, what benefit does ADF Validator serves when one needs to implement such validations ?
Please share your views...

H,
afaik, client side validation in ADF Faces suppresses server round trips if a validation error is detected on the client. Only if no problem is found, the server side validation is challenged upon submit (so no extra round trip for validation). Shay is absolutely correct. JavaScript is a convenience but never a solution.
Here's how to create a custom validator with a client and server side implementation : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/b31973/af_validate.htm#BABEIIDD

JSF client side state saving

I know the following thing
**When the HTML form is submitted it carries the view state value back to the server in the form of an HTTP parameter. JSF uses the value of this parameter to reconstruct the view during the restore view phase. The view is restored by reversing the process used to obtain the view state: it is decoded and deserialized.**
so I have tried to run the following code in jsp page with jsf tags I was able to see the input hidden parameter with facesview state and its value
<f:view>
        <h1>Hello World!</h1>
        <h:form>
           <h:inputText value="#{phonebean.phonenumber}" converter="Pconverter" id="input" >
        </h:inputText>
       <h:outputText value="rakeshggh" />
       <h:commandButton action="test" value="submit" />
       </h:form>
        </f:view>the encoded html output i was able to view the following hidden value which holds the view state as foolows
<input type="hidden" name="javax.faces.ViewState" id="javax.faces.ViewState" value="H4s......very big value />
but my question is when i have removed the jsf form tag but had some components in the view but there was no hidden element which holds the view state on
client side , so I was wondering how the view state that stores on the client side goes to the server and gets reconstructed i.e the tree of components .It would
be great if someone throws light on this I would appreciate it !!!

Validating data in client side

Hi,
I'm developing a web application using Struts framework.
and my questions is, does the validate method int the ActionForm replaces the using javascript validation?
If I can do all the validations in this validate method, so does that mean that i'm not going to use JS at all?

Client side validation is usually a subset of the validation done on the server side (ie, server side duplicates the client side validation, and then some).
I usually only do some basic client side validation such as:
a textfield is null, but shouldn't be
a textfield should be in this format but isn't: mm/dd/yyyy
a textfield should be a number but contains a letter.
If these conditions occur, dont submit the form, pop up a warning dialog box instead.

RDS WS2012R2 and "Client Side rendering"

Hello,
Is it normal that the CSR key continues to populate even if the CSR is disabled (verified with 'Get-Printer -Full |fl')?
BTW winprint is used for all the printers on the print servers, and non-microsoft monitors are deleted.
Thx,
Ludovic H.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
If you disable this policy setting on a client computer, the client itself will process print jobs into printer device commands. These commands will then be sent to the print server, and the server will simply pass the commands to the printer. This increases
the workload of the client while decreasing the load on the server. If you do not enable this policy setting, the behavior is the same as disabling it.
This policy does not determine whether offline printing will be available to the client. The client print spooler can always queue print jobs when not connected to the print server. On reconnecting to the server, the client will submit any pending print jobs.
In cases in which the client print driver does not match the server print driver (mismatched connection), the client will always process the print job regardless of the setting of this policy.
More information.
1. Disable Client-Side Printer Rendering
2. Known Issues with Client-Side Rendering
Hope it helps!
Thanks.
