Combo LOV search on VO exposed on Shared Application Module

Hello,
My Jdev version 11.1.1.6. Technology stack is ADF BC and ADF faces.
I have a generic lookup table that provides static list of values for many pages. Most lookup types have short list of values i.e. 15-20 and are implemented as selectOneChoice but some are 100+ and are implemented as Combo LOVs.
This lookup VO has been exposed on Application level Shared Application Module and all LOVs are implemented on data model side.
The problem is with Combo LOV search functionality. If I try to search on column, putting X%, it returns all values and I noticed that no query is sent to database which means it has all the data already cached on application server and returning all rows from there.
If I change the LOV's Base VO [i.e. lookupVO] to regular [non-shared] then it perfectly searches as per entered criteria and returns correct rows.
Do I need to set something on VO (or some where) to return filtered records from memory?
My BC objects extends custom framework extn classes. Can something be done in custom framework etxn classes affecting only where it is required and not affecting other VOs [non-shared] functionality?
Please help.
Thanks,
Jai

Pratap,
Thank you for the response.
The reason I need to use new xxCO on the page is this.
Seeded page CheckoutLinesPG.
It has advanced table on it where every column has it's one external region.
The new LOV region xxRN is put on a page also under this table new column.
1. When a requester (seeded region on the seeded page) is changed then my xxLOV should reflect the change and be populated according to what is selected in the Requester LOV.
2. When one-time address is added (another seeded region on the seeded page) my xxLOV should be disabled, when one time address taken out - enabled again.
So xxCO should apply to the whole page.
The VO behind advanced table PoRequisitionLinesVO is extended with 2 additional attributes and will substitute, the new xxVO is under xxAM data model.
All works fine with my methods in the seeded RequisitionAM which I get a handle to in the xxCO. But I don;t know how to get the handle to the xxAM if I put my methods there.
Thanks,
Anatoliy
P.S. just fyi - I know it is not the recommended approach but what I did for now I put all calls into the controller - in the controller I can get a handle to root AM, through that I am getting a handle to xxVO which (!) is substituted during runtime with my xxVO. But if you can figure out how to get a handle to xxAM in my case it will be great.

LOV doesn't apply view critera working with shared application module.

Hi,
I have a shared application module to share lovs between applications.
These lovs have bind variables in the where clause and in view criterias.
When i use these shared lovs, if i select in the view accessor, more than one view criteria to be applied in the view accessor, all rows are selected, it seems that any view criteria are applied or they are applied with an OR operator, althougt in the view accesor indicate that they will be add with an AND operator.
thanks!

I also have a similar problem. View criteria dos not applied in LOV from shared AM. Workaround - in base VO view row implementation for base love attr setter add re-query for LOV view accessor:
ViewObject vo = getSharedAM_RefItem1_1().getViewObject();
vo.applyViewCriteria(vo.getViewCriteriaManager().getViewCriteria("RefItemViewCriteria"));JDeveloper 11.1.1.6 (Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.6.0_GENERIC_111205.1733.6192.1)

View Objects in the shared application module is not refreshing

Hi ,
I have view objects defined shared apps module. This view objects are used for creating lovs which won't change very frequently. I have set the AutoRefresh=true for this view objects. I do have a UI to update the underline table for these lovs. The view objects defined in the shared application module is not getting reflected even I add a new value in the database. Is there any way to refresh these lovs as soon as its added to db?
Thanks
Suneesh

I will explain my scenario ;
I have a view object(ViewA) where I have defined many LOVs for different attributes. Thes LOVs are using the shared application module's view object (shared_view1,shared_view2...etc) as List DataSource. Where exactly I need to set the auto refresh property=true. Currently I have set all of my shared apps view objects's(shared_view1,shared_view2...etc) autorefresh property=true.Do I need to use the autorefresh =true in the ViewA ?
What is the concept of autorefresh=true ? Wiill it refresh automatically the view object nexttime i am accessing the page after the db inserts ? Is there any time delay there ? if there is it something configurable ?
Thanks

Verifying a Shared Application Module

I have been looking at Shared Application Modules; I have created a small test application that utilizes a Shared Application Module. I would like to ensure that my implementation is OK, e.g., verify that only one instance of the Shared Application Modules is created. How can I do this?
In some forum, someone said that he tried to do this by “monitor the Application Pool “. How do I do this?
Thanks

You can test this from the AM tester. Enable Debugoutput to Console as described here.
IF you use a VO instance from a shared AM as an LOV you will see the LOV query being printed only once.

Sharing Application Module view Instances

hi,
I read the sharing application module instances but I didn't understand the difference of Application level shared Application Module and session level shared Application Module.
Give the simple answer to this one.
Regards,
Ragu.

To summarize what the documentation says: Session-scoped shared app module would only be accessible to a single user (session), whereas application-scoped shared app module can be shared by all users.

Question about shared application modules

Hello,
I read the part in the developer guide but I still have some questions.
1) The dev guide states that shared app modules use a different configuration.
I assume this is the <appmod>Shared configuration?
2) Where is this defined? Can this be changed?
3) I understand there are two type of ‘scopes’ session and application. I’m using application for static lists, but I do not understand what the session scope is for? Is there any reason to use this scope over a normal application module?
4) We have a system which uses VPD in an ‘odd’ way. We use it to set the current working year. Because the data is bound to years. Is it possible to use a session scoped shared module for this? And when I changed the current year (Context being set via the app module) to refresh all the session scoped shared module’s views?
-Anton

Anton,
Yes, you can jump aroundd as you like.
You just can't use view links between VO's based on different db schema tables.
Nesting AM's doesn't help there, the DB connection of the top-level AM will be used.
Why don't you create synomyms for the tables in the other schema?

Shared applications modules

Hi,
I've been reading the section about shared AM in the developer's guide, however I found explanations rather incomplete.
I would like to know how to do the following:
1. Use a shared AM from the user interface, a.k.a. have a data control referring to an application or session scoped shared AM. I am aware that I can change the configuration name in the DataBindings.cpx file, however there are no ways to specify the instance name as defined in the "Model" project Business Components properties.
2. Use a shared AM from another AM, a.k.a. define a nested AM as a reference to an application or session scoped shared AM. Inspecting the source xml file for an AM definition, I see that nested AM are defined as AM usages, a.k.a. like a shared AM definition is an AM usage. So, if I specify the usage name of a shared AM and change the "SharedScope" to be "1" (session) or "2" (application), will it work as I expect it?
3. Use a shared AM from code. In this case, I would like to known how to retrieve an instance of a shared AM from its instance name wherever my code is located. I may be in an EntityObject, ViewObject or elsewhere.
4. How do I create dynamically a shared AM instance? Either as a nested AM from a root AM or from scratch (if that is possible).
Shared AM looks like an extremely nice feature, let us exploit them! :-)
Thanx!
Olivier

Thank you for your answer Blaise.
I agree that creating shared AM dynamically seem to contradict their purpose, but I'm really looking to know how things work and where I can push that feature.
I hope you found out how we can access shared AM with code as it seems to me that the feature is completely underexploited.
What if I'd like to "cache" other stuff at the AM level?
What if I'd like to access a shared AM from another AM to access shared data?
What if I'd like to show in my UI a drop-down with cached lookup data and I can't use the LOV feature?
I can think of plenty of scenarios where I would use it.
Thanx!
Olivier

Sharing application modules

Hi,
I have an application (ADF) running on Oracle AS. Lets call it Application A. This application comprises of about 10 projects (modules).
I am creating a new webservice that uses some of the application modules, view objects and entity objects of Application A. I will be deploying this webservice as a separate application on the same Oracle AS.
Is there someway for my webservice to use Application A's app modules, view objects and entity objects without physically including them in the webservice ear/war. This will help me keep my code in-sync.
Thanks.

Hi Frank,
We (colleague of Nilesh) unfortunately can't wait for 11g esp. because you can't give a release date.
The problem we are facing is that we see the same queries hitting the database over and over again. So caching these queries for a 'longer' period of time would save us a lot of round trips to the database.
The data we want to cache is releasable stable, the data we select is separated from the data we insert. So we can store the data over a longer period of time.
But as I understand it, there is no solution that would solve such a usecase? (Other then using a different framework/ building a custom solution)

Binding Methods Exposed From Application Module

Hi All,
I am using JDeveloper 11.0.2. I have a method exposed on the Application Module that when invoked, it creates a row. I exposed AppModADImpl as a client interface. After doing this, I am now able to see the method under data control section. On my page, I when to bindings and tried to create a bind to this method, I am able to see the method but the OPERATIONS list is disabled, because of this, I am unable to create the bind to the page.
The method I'm trying to bind is below
public Row createSystemTypes() {
ViewObjectImpl vo = getAdSystemTypes1();
Row row = vo.createRow();
vo.insertRow(row);
return row;
Because the Operations List if disabled, when I click OK, I get the Error "No Actiond defined for the selected Item"
I would appreciate help to know why Im unable to bind the method to the page.

As the method has been added to the client interface of the application module, you have to select the application module in the dialog, not a view object. After selecting the application module (or the data control or root node) you should see all methods which are part of the client interface.
Still, I wold do like Joonas outlined: use drag and drop and if you don't like the button you get this way on the page, switch to source mode and remove it. This will keep hte generated binding in the page def. Removing the button in design view will remove both, button and binding.

How to capture text input value by user in a LOV search popup page?

I need to capture the input by the user in LOV search page. I added one controller in the LOV region, and the flow is also working, but what I need to hold the search input in the search popup page. Also do you know what is the id of " Search Term" text input? then I can try to hold the value in PFR of the CO.

Hi Sandeep,
Yes, as of now I need to populate blank, so I need to modify the SQL, therefore I need to capture the value which is given by the user. I am trying to capture the value through passive criteria, but not able to get the result. I added below code in PFR of lov region controller,
       Dictionary passiveCriteriaItems = pageContext.getLovCriteriaItems();
       String lov = (String)passiveCriteriaItems.get("SwitchLOV");
      if ((lov != null) && !("".equals(lov)))
           throw new OAException(lov, OAException.INFORMATION);
SwitchLOV is a lov map I have added in the LOV, and
Programmatic Query set to true. and
LOV Region Item is the id for which user searches.
I am getting null in the "lov" where i have give some value in the search field.
Is this would be the way?
I dont understand where is the issue, Please suggest.

Making LOV off of an exposed method from second application module

Hello,
I am on JDev 11.1.1.4.0.
My ADF project worked fine until the spec changed on how Lookups are going to be handled. Previuosly, all the lookup tables were in the same database as other tables. Change is that FND Lookups will be created in the "Oracle" and my ADF project should connect to "Oracle" to get appropriate lookup values to build LOVs while maintaining the main database connection intact.
After some research, I now have 2 Application Modules, one my project and the other for Lookups to create LOVs. I went to Application Module configuration wizard to edit JDBC setting to point to "Oracle" database and created a read only view with the following SQL:
SELECT LOOKUP_CODE, MEANING, DESCRIPTION FROM FND_LOOKUP_VALUES
WHERE LOOKUP_TYPE = 'MY_LOOKUP'
AND ENABLED_FLAG = 'Y'
AND LANGUAGE = 'US'I can run both AMs via "Oracle Business Component Browser" fine. However, I somehow have to set the lookup view object as data source to create LOV on the main updatable view object's attribute. If I set it the way I used to do treating the lookup view as a view object residing in the same AM I am getting "table or view does not exist" error. I guess it is something to do with the lookup view object, but I cannot seem to make any kind of progress on this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Well, I think I have found a solution which I didn't have to write a single line of code. My mistake was to think that I have to write code to achieve this.
Here is what I did:
*I already have the main AM and View Objects created for my project. The following steps are done on top of that to bring LOV to life
1. Create a new, pretty empty AM, named LovAM.
1.1 Right click on the newly created AM and select 'Configurations'
1.2 Click JDBC Name value and click 'Edit'
1.3 Select the second database source where Lookup is defined. If not listed, go back out and create a new Database connection and come back.
2. Create a View Object with the following SQL:
SELECT
    TO_NUMBER(LOOKUP_CODE) ID,
    MEANING NAME,
    DESCRIPTION
FROM
    FND_LOOKUP_VALUES
WHERE
    LOOKUP_TYPE = 'MY_LOOKUP' AND ENABLED_FLAG = 'Y' AND LANGUAGE = 'US'3. Notice you now have LovAMDataControl
4. Create a jspx page and create a table with the main data control's binding (This was a part of the requirements).
5. I create a read-only table with LovAMDataControl.LovLookUp1 binding (I think this creates/exposes correct binding in the pageDef).
6. Now I drag-and-drop an attribute that I have been wanting to display LOV from the main binding.
7. Selected single select listbox. You will be presented with 'Edit zlist Binding' screen.
8. Base Data Source is the main data control binding.
9. Select Dynamic List
10. Select LovAM data control binding as List Data Source.
11. (optional) Selected 'Name' as Display Attribute.
11.1. (optional) I don't want to see the table created in step 5. On the jspx page, go to Source tab and delete the table from there. I think this keeps binding in pageDef while the UI component is deleted from the page.
12. Save and Run
Now, I didn't have to create Root Application Module in the code, but still achieved what I wanted.
Thanks

Combo LOV firing mandatory field validation

Hello,
I am using Jdev 11.1.1.6.
My VO is entity based. I have 3 fields in this VO as F1, F2, F3
All 3 fields are mandatory.
F1 has model based Combo Lov implemented. List Attribute lookupId from LOV is returned to F1 and List Attribute lookupDesc to F2.
F2 is mandatory and editable. Idea is that default text is returned by lov and then user can update the description.
Scenario 1: <does not work>
At runtime, in create mode, when I try to select a value for this combo lov, it fires mandatory field validation for F2 (only for F2 and not F3) and does not show list of values. I can not make it to show list until enter some data in F2.
<af:inputComboboxListOfValues> has autoSubmit="true" and immediate="false" and F2 has partialTriggers="id of F1"
Scenario 2: <works>
For test purpose, if I make F2 read-only then it works perfectly but F2 is editable and mandatory as well.
<af:inputComboboxListOfValues> has autoSubmit="true" and immediate="false" and F2 has partialTriggers="id of F1"
Scenario 3: <works>
On other pages, I have implemented combo lov where the lov is implemented on reference field and returning the value to only Id column and not to any other field. This scenario works perfectly even with mandatory fields present on page.
<af:inputComboboxListOfValues> has autoSubmit="true" and immediate="false".
Thanks,
Jai

Try to remove partialTrigger from F2 (has partialTriggers="id of F1"),
and attach valueChangeListener on F1, in which you can partially refresh F2 (by code)
Of course, make F1 autoSubmit.

Need help with simple file sharing application

I have an assignment to build a Java File Sharing application. Since I'm relatively new to programming, this is not gonna be an easy task for me.
Therefore I was wondering if there are people willing to help me in the next few days. I will ask questions in this thread, there will be loads of them.
I already have something done but I'm not nearly halfway finished.
Is there a code example of a simple file sharing application somewhere? I didn't manage to find it.
More-less, this is what it needs to contain:
-client/server communication (almost over)
-file sending (upload, download)
-file search function (almost over)
-GUI of an application.
GUI is something I will do at the end, hopefully.
I hope someone will help me. Cheers
One more thing, I'm not asking for anyone to do my homework. I will only be needing some help in the various steps of building an application.
As I said code examples are most welcome.
This is what I have done so far
Server:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class MultiServer {
    public static ServerSocket serverskiSoket;
    public static int PORT = 1233;
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        try {
            serverskiSoket = new ServerSocket(PORT);
        }catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("Connection impossible");
            System.exit(1);
        do {
            Socket client = serverskiSoket.accept();
            System.out.println("accepted");
            ClientHandler handler = new ClientHandler(client);
            handler.start();
        } while(true);
}Client:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class MultiClient {
    public static InetAddress host;
    public static int PORT = 1233;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            host = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
        }catch (UnknownHostException uhe) {
            System.out.println("Error!");
            System.exit(1);
        sendMessages();
    private static void sendMessages() {
        Socket soket = null;
        try {
            soket = new Socket(host, PORT);
            Scanner networkInput = new Scanner(soket.getInputStream());
            PrintWriter networkOutput = new PrintWriter(soket.getOutputStream(), true);
            Scanner unos = new Scanner(System.in);
            String message, response;
            do {
                System.out.println("Enter message");
                message = unos.nextLine();
                networkOutput.println(message);
                response = networkInput.nextLine();
                System.out.println("Server: " + response);
            }while (!message.equals("QUIT"));
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        finally {
            try{
                System.out.println("Closing..");
                soket.close();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                System.out.println("Impossible to disconnect!");
                System.exit(1);
}ClientHandler:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ClientHandler extends Thread {
    private Socket client;
    private Scanner input;
    private PrintWriter output;
    public ClientHandler(Socket serverskiSoket) {
        client = serverskiSoket;
        try {
        input = new Scanner(client.getInputStream());
        output = new PrintWriter(client.getOutputStream(), true);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        public void run() {
            String received;
            do {
            received = input.nextLine();
            output.println("Reply: " + received);
            } while (!received.equals("QUIT"));
            try {
                if (client != null)
                    System.out.println("Closing the connection...");
                    client.close();
            }catch (IOException e) {
                System.out.println("Error!");
}Those three classes are simple client server multi-threaded connection.

Now the other part that contains the search function looks like this:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class User {
    String nickname;
    String ipAddress;
    static ArrayList<String> listOfFiles = new ArrayList<String>();
    File sharedFolder;
    String fileLocation;
    public User(String nickname, String ipAddress, String fileLocation) {
        this.nickname = nickname.toLowerCase();
        this.ipAddress = ipAddress;
        sharedFolder = new File(fileLocation);
        File[] files = sharedFolder.listFiles();
        for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
            listOfFiles.add(i, files.toString().substring(fileLocation.length()+1));
public static void showTheList() {
for (int i = 0; i < listOfFiles.size(); i++) {
System.out.println(listOfFiles.get(i).toString());
@Override
public String toString() {
return nickname + " " + ipAddress;
User Manager:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class UserManager {
    static ArrayList<User> allTheUsers = new ArrayList<User>();;
    public static void addUser(User newUser) {
        allTheUsers.add(newUser);
    public static void showAndStoreTheListOfUsers() throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
        BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("List Of Users.txt"));
        for (int i = 0; i < allTheUsers.size(); i++) {
                System.out.println(allTheUsers.get(i));
                out.write(allTheUsers.get(i).toString());
                out.newLine();
        out.close();
}Request For File
package ToJeTo;
import java.util.*;
public class RequestForFile {
    static ArrayList<String> listOfUsersWithFile = new ArrayList<String>();
    Scanner input;
    String fileName;
    public RequestForFile() {
        System.out.println("Type the wanted filename here: ");
        input = new Scanner(System.in);
        fileName = input.nextLine();
        for (User u : UserManager.allTheUsers) {
            for (String str : User.listOfFiles) {
                if (str.equalsIgnoreCase(fileName))
                    listOfUsersWithFile.add(u.nickname);
    public RequestForFile(String fileName) {
        for (User u : UserManager.allTheUsers) {
            for (String str : User.listOfFiles) {
                if (str.equalsIgnoreCase(fileName))
                    listOfUsersWithFile.add(u.nickname);
    public static List<String> getAll() {
        for (int i = 0; i < listOfUsersWithFile.size(); i++) {
            //System.out.println("User that has the file: " + listOfUsersWithFile.get(i));
        return listOfUsersWithFile;
}Now this is the general idea.
The user logs in with his nickname and ip address. He defines his own shared folder and makes it available for other users that log on to server.
Now each user has their own list of files from a shared folder. It's an ArrayList.
User manager class is there to store another list, a list of users that are connected with server.
