Complex model-driven filters

Hello,
I'm working on an application using the model-driven LCDS tools. The initial proof of concept has been fairly successful but I'm running into problems trying to customise the java assemblers which are generated from the model.
For certain entities I need to filter the "fill" results based on the authenticated user's permissions and a few other tables. For various reasons the logic required to perform this filtering is rather complex and can't be carried out using JPQL. As far as I know there is no way to do the equivalent of a hibernate "named query" which seems to leave me with three options:
Customise the assembler (derived from FiberAssembler) and query the database myself from within the "fill" method. I haven't found any examples which override the fill method, I've tried it myself but have had difficulty correctly constructing the final object graph (particularly the lazy loaded properties)
Filter the objects in the derived assembler after they have been returned by the base FiberAssembler. I'd rather not have to do this, also the returned objects are of a generated type which makes them hard to work with.
Scrap the model driven approach and start again using HibernateAssemblers (I could do what I need using a named query)
Can anyone provide any advice or examples of overriding the FiberAssembler "fill" method for this sort of complex filtering?
Thanks,
Ben

  • New LabHSM Toolkit - Agile development of complex event-driven maintainable LabVIEW applications with active objects / actors based on a universal Hierarchical State Machine / statechart template.

    Dear Fellow LabVIEW programmers:
    Most of the systems you deal with are reactive. It means that their
    primary function is constant interaction with their environment by
    sending and receiving events. But most likely, they can have something
    happening inside them too, even when they are not processing messages
    received from outside. So, such systems have to continuosly react to
    external and internal stimuli. Right? Moreover, most likely, they
    consist of subsystems that are reactive too and, in turn, can have
    their own "life", to an extent independent from other parts (with
    which they still communicate, of course). Reactive (event-driven)
    systems are more naturally modeled with active objects. So, why then
    should we try to model and code them with GOOP and its passive
    ("dead"!) objects?
    "Flat" State Machines have been known for decades to have severe
    limitations. It's been more than 20 years since Dr. Harel invented
    Hierarchical State Machines (statecharts) to fight those limitations.
    Then why does NI still tout the same old good Moore FSM as the
    ultimate tool for event-driven programming in LabVIEW in its $995
    State Diagram KIt?
    The LabHSM toolkit we are happy to present, makes it possible to
    easily create and then maintain complex event-driven applications in
    LabVIEW as a collection of HSM-driven active object VIs using a higher
    level of abstraction and agile software development methodologies.
    These active object VIs are created based on a universal Hierarchical
    State Machine ( HSM or statechart ) template. So. all your code looks
    similar regardless of its functionality!
    We all love just jump to code, right? However, to be good boys, we
    need to do design first. Then implement it in code. If the logic is
    modified we need to redo the design first and then redo the code. When
    using LabHSM where behavior information is abstracted into a separate
    HSM data file editable with a supplied editor, there is no need for
    coding separate from design any more. The modified behavior becomes
    code automatically as soon as the HSM file is saved. Design is code!
    The implementation basically follows Dr. Samek's Quantum Programming
    paradigm. (see http://www.quantum-leaps.com). However, as already
    mentioned, LabHSM stores the behavior information in a file separate
    from the code itself. It also adds state dependent priorities to
    events, a separate queue for public events/messages, and, of course,
    some LabVIEW specific code like capturing front panel user events and
    putting them into the private Events queue. Communication and
    instantiation functions are also rather specific for LabVIEW.
    It is available for UNLIMITED PERIOD trial. Please visit

    hierarchical state machines and active object computing.

  • Comparing ABAP development process with Model Driven Architecture concept

    My Background
    I am a postgraduate student writing a Masters Degree Dissertation titled “An Investigation into how compatible ERP Development Process is with Model Driven Development Philosophy: A SAP R/3 Case Study”.
    The aim of this project is to compare ERP system development process with Model Driven Development (MDD) and to identify whether and how they can be used together. Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is Object Management Group’s (OMG) flavour of the MDD philosophy and is the paradigm that will be used here.
    I have chosen SAP R/3 as my case study in order to narrow the research and want to explore the development processes/cycle involved in using ABAP/4 to reconfigure/customize SAP R/3 system during implementation.
    An overview of the MDA concept according to OMG is given below. Following this, I’ve provided some questions that are open to discussions.
    Overview of the MDA Concept
    The Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is an approach to software systems development that separates the specification of system functionality from the specification of the implementation of the functionality on a specific technology platform. The MDA concept provides an open, vendor-neutral approach to system interoperability.
    A recent study by the Middleware Company summarizes MDA paradigm as a development process that makes use of the following steps:
    1.     Secure business requirements for an application.
    2.     Develop UML diagrams for the domain model, independent of any particular technology (J2EE, Microsoft .NET, CORBA, etc). This UML model represents the core business services and components. This UML model is called Platform Independent Model (PIM) because it is completely technology-independent and will be the same regardless of whether you decided to use J2EE or .NET. You develop this UML model using UML modelling capabilities of an MDA-specific modelling tool.
    3.     Build UML diagrams for the application, specific to a particular technology (J2EE, for example). This UML model will have design patterns. This UML model is called Platform Specific Model (PSM). You can build this manually, or you can generate much of it using an MDA tool and hand-tune only pieces of it that require customisation.
    4.     Finally, generate the application code using an MDA tool. That is to say, instead of writing the application by hand based on the UML model, you generate the majority of it from the UML diagrams.
    To develop an application using MDA, it is necessary to first build a PIM of the application, then transform this, using a standardised mapping into a PSM, and, finally, map the latter into the application code.
    A mapping is a set of rules and techniques used to modify one model in order to get another model. In MDA, mappings are used for transforming:
    1)     PIM to PIM. This transformation is used when models are enhanced, filtered or specialized during the development lifecycle without needing any platform dependent information. One of the most obvious mappings is the analysis to design models transformation. PIM to PIM mappings, are generally related to model refinement.
    2)     PIM to PSM. This transformation is used when the PIM is sufficiently refined to be projected to the execution infrastructure. The projection is based on the platform characteristics. Describing these characteristics should be done using UML description. Going from a logical component model to a commercial existing component model is a kind of PIM to PSM mapping.
    3)     PSM to PSM. This transformation is needed for component realization and deployment. PSM to PSM mapping are generally related to platform dependent model refinement.
    4)     PSM to PIM. This transformation is required for abstracting models of existing implementations in a particular technology into a platform-independent model. This procedure often resembles a “mining” process that is hard to be fully automated. It may be supported by tools, though. Ideally, the result of this mapping will match the corresponding PIM to PSM mapping.
    Questions/Discussions
    1.     What specific stages are involved in development using ABAP/4? (e.g., requirements gathering, analysis, design, coding, etc)
    2.     Do these stages fit into any traditional software development lifecycle? (e.g. waterfall model, v-model, etc)
    3.     Which of the stages in (1) above best describes the Platform Independent Model (PIM) of the MDA concept above?
    4.     Which of the stages in (1) above best describes the Platform Specific Model (PSM) of the MDA concept above?
    5.     How does the Accelerated SAP roadmap relate to the MDA concept above?
    6.     Assuming there’s a change in business requirements of a company that could lead to reconfiguring/customizing the R/3 system, how is this achieved? For instance, if a model has earlier been developed for that particular process, how does the change in the model affect coding/modification?
    7.     How is coding achieved with respect to the reconfiguration of the business models or reference models?
    8.     Are all coding manually done or are there tools in the ABAP Workbench that enable codes to be generated automatically from the models of the system?
    9.     How much time is spent in coding compared to developing business models like EPC models?

    I've also read about the SAP Composite Application Framework (CAF).
    But it seems that it's only for Java development....

  • Restrict the list of values retrieved by a model driven LOV

    hi all
    i'm try to restrict the list of values retrieved by a model driven LOV just like the article in this link
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/fnimphius/restrictlovlist/restrictlov.html
    and i'm using the jdev11.2 but i always get this error
    java.sql.SQLException: parameter IN or OUT is missing at index 1
    my code is :
    public void SetSchoolLovVar(LaunchPopupEvent launchPopupEvent)
    String var_val=getOt7().getValue().toString();
    System.out.println("++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++"+var_val);
    BindingContext bctx = BindingContext.getCurrent();
    BindingContainer bindings = bctx.getCurrentBindingsEntry();
    FacesCtrlLOVBinding lov = (FacesCtrlLOVBinding)bindings.get("DeptCode");
    System.out.print("LOVE "+lov);
    System.out.println("+_+_+_+_+__+_+_+__+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_________+++++_+_+_"+lov.getName());
    lov.getListIterBinding().getViewObject().setNamedWhereClauseParam("Rejon_For_Prj_Dept",var_val);
    Rejon_For_Prj_Dept is the bind variable of the Lov Query.
    any good idea

    Hi,
    The error might be due to making the bind variable as required but not using it in the vo query. Edit the bind variable and make it as optional by unchecking the required checkbox.

  • How to update bind variable and restrict values in a Model Driven LOV?

    Hi Guys,
    Using JDev 11.1.1.2.0
    I've recreated an excellent Frank Nimphius article about restricting values derived from a model driven LOV (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/44-restrict-lov-169186.pdf)
    But my bind variable isn't updating. Deleting the bind variable gets me the entire LOV. Activate the code below and insert a bind variable into the where clause like Frank says and I get nothing back. Bind variable is blank. Any ideas? Code wasn't supplied with the article. It seems simple enough but the bind variable isn't updating in the SQL, even though the updated value shows up here...
      public void onLovLaunch(LaunchPopupEvent launchPopupEvent)
        BindingContext bctx = BindingContext.getCurrent();
        BindingContainer bindings = bctx.getCurrentBindingsEntry();
        FacesCtrlLOVBinding lov = (FacesCtrlLOVBinding)bindings.get("DepartmentId");
        lov.getListIterBinding().getViewObject().setNamedWhereClauseParam("deptId","60");
        System.out.println("lov name: " + lov.getName().toString());
        System.out.println("lov Param Attrs: " + lov.getListIterBinding().getViewObject().getNamedWhereClauseParams().getAttribute("deptId").toString());
        System.out.println("lov View Object: " + lov.getListIterBinding().getViewObject().getName().toString());
        System.out.println("lov IterBinding: " + lov.getListIterBinding().getName().toString());
       }Gets me ...
    lov name: DepartmentId
    lov Param Attrs: 60
    lov View Object: _LOCAL_VIEW_USAGE_lov_model_queries_EmployeesView_DepartmentsView
    lov IterBinding: DepartmentIdList_2

    That's a good idea, but it's still not working. Here is how I implemented it. It might be different from your suggestion as I'm still pretty new to this.
    I have a recursive tree table. You select a node. You then click a button which calls the listener below. "findParents" is a method call to the AppModuleImpl class and it finds all parent nodes of your selection. "restrictPartBomLOV", also of the AppModuleImpl class, then modifies the model driven lists' View Object (partBomLOV) to exclude those parent node values.
    The resulting model driven LOV on the popup should be updated, yeah? But it still isn't udpating. If I manually type in the updated Where clause in PartBomLOV.xml query tab, it works, but it doesn't programmatically.
      public void insertPopupFetchListener(PopupFetchEvent popupFetchEvent)
        BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
        OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("findParents");
        parents = (List)operationBinding.execute();
        operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("restrictPartBomLOV");
        operationBinding.execute();
       public void restrictPartBomLOV(List parents)
          ViewObjectImpl vo = getPartBomLOV();
          String wcl = "";
          Object[]   p = parents.toArray();
          for(int i = 0; i < p.length; i++)
             if (i == 0)
                wcl = wcl + "PNUM <> '" + p.toString() + "'";
    else
    wcl = wcl + "AND PNUM <> '" + p[i].toString() + "'";
    vo.setWhereClause(wcl);
    System.out.println(vo.getWhereClause().toString());
    vo.executeQuery();

  • New version of the LabHSM Toolkit for Complex Event-Driven Development is Now Available!

    A new version of the unique toolkit is now available for download. As announced earlier, LabHSM makes it possible to easily create and then maintain complex event-driven applications in LabVIEW as a collection of HSM-driven active object VIs using a higher level of abstraction and agile software development methodologies. These active object VIs are created based on a universal Hierarchical State Machine ( HSM or statechart ) template. Therefore, all your code looks similar regardless of its functionality!
    So, what’s new in version 1.1?
    • "No hands" block diagram modifications! Version 1.1 actually creates, renames, and removes actions on the block diagram as you define, rename, and remove them in the editor! (No, it can't fill in all the details for you, but it can do some, if you think ahead, by replicating similar actions.)
    • Two new screens, Events Usage and Actions Usage, (available in licensed copies only) clearly show where (in which state(s)/transition(s)) and how (is it an entry action, exit action or event handling action?) a particular event or action is used. Moreover, if after selecting an instance on the list, the Go To button is pressed, it makes the main screen jump to respective location in the HSM structure. In the case of Actions Usage screen, the respective action is also displayed on the block diagram. Thus, these screens provide two more different cross-sections of the HSM data set and two additional ways to navigate it – now along the Actions and Events dimensions too instead of just the state tree in the first version.
    • Version 1.1 can duplicate events or actions, which helps when you've got several that are similar. Changes in the events and actions lists are reflected immediately on the main screen and on the block diagram (which solves the previous problem of deleting a renamed event or action when it's still in use).
    • The Events and Actions List Editors are no longer modal and neither are the Events and Actions Usage screens, so you can have all the panels and the block diagram visible and move freely among them as you build your HSM (a good argument for an even larger monitor).
    • When you save an HSM file, version 1.1 automatically adds the .hsm extension if you leave it out and it remembers the last directory you used.
    • The Loaded VIs utility now can open and close block diagrams (if they are not protected with a password) and display only VIs with modal front panels, if desired—useful for quickly finding and closing accidentally opened (e.g., from the hierarchy window) modal VIs. Make a modal version of this utility and keep it on the Desktop for this purpose.
    • A new example of a simple hierarchical state machine and two more excellent tutorials from Paul F. Sullivan (SULLutions.com) are included into the package. The tutorials are also available online. The overview article has also been extended.
    As before, the LabHSM toolkit is available for UNLIMITED PERIOD trial. Please visit http://www.labhsm.com for details and download. The site also contains references which you may want to check to learn more about hierarchical state machines and active object computing.

    I am not really sure if Azure support this but its worth to make your configuration file to support .NET 4.0
    $PShome\PowerShell_ISE.CONFIG and $PSHOME\PowerShell.exe.config will be not existing.
    So you can make an entry in configuration to support .NET framework 4.0
    like shown below
    $config_text = @"
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <configuration>
    <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">

    Close PowerShell Console and open as administrator.
    Try loading the modules back and let me know.

  • Question about model driven dev and RDS configuring

    I am testing the model driven development that is brought up by Flash Builder4 and LCDS3 recently, and it went pretty well. However i've noticed that the configuration of the RDS for development mode is not recommanded for a production environment.
    My first quetion is can I simply disable the RDS on the server when I want to deploy my app to a production environment and still be able to use all of the features such as data management service and remote service etc.? I've tried to do so but it gave me a 404 page. I felt it was a little bit confusing when you know you DO have a html template located in the right location. If RDS can be disabled without interfering the functionality of the app, where can I find a doc to follow?
    My second question is if the RDS is a must, then how to configure the security setting? I knew some of the requirements by visiting this url:http://help.adobe.com/en_US/LiveCycleDataServicesES/3.1/Developing/WS6822bf3ec1c7b2e9-30fb 9b22126b9ca84aa-8000.html,
    however, when I followed the steps and test it, I got a 400 error in FB4 RDS configuration page.
    Since I am testing this under Tomcat 5.5, I am not sure where should I put the flex-tomcat-common.jar and flex-tomcat-server.jar file in, cause the dir structure of Tomcat 5.5 is a little bit different than that of Tomcat 6.0. Then I put these files under both of the tomcat 5.5\common\lib folder and the tomcat 5.5\server\lib folder. I've doubled checked the the catalina.properties file which is located under tomcat5.5\conf folder and I see the following environment param has been there : ${catalina.home}/common/lib/*.jar.
    The other configuration I made that differs from the doc was: I put <valve classname="flex.messaging.security.TomcatValve"></valve> into the context.xml, which is under the folder Tomcat 5.5/conf. Since I put the Resource definition in the same file, I guess this should not be the problem.
    Does anyone has any successful experience on setting this up?
    Any hint will be appreciated.

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    I solved my first problem, it was because I accidentally commented out part of the RDS configuration and left the servlet-mapping part un-commented. After I generate all the client and server codes and re-deploy them to the environment, I finally got my running demo with RDS disabled.
    For the second problem, I am still stucking in. I've tried to switch to the Tomcat 6.0 and follow both of the LCDS installation doc and the LCDS3.1_using doc. None could work me out. I constantly get the error message said that "The RDS server was successfully contacted, but your security credentials were invalid". So after struggling a whole day, I found the following statement, which is appeared in the ColdFusion configuraton doc:"Note: If you are using ColdFusion MX 7 or earlier, the message "The RDS server was successfully contacted, but your security credentials were invalid," appears. The message indicates that the password was not validated, even if it is correct. Click OK to close the message. ". That's interesting cause it seems it was exact the situation I was encountered. However, in my case, ignoring the error message does not give me a successful RDS connection.
    For your information, I am pasting the configurations I had on my machine and maybe some ppl could give me a correction.

    How is SAP adopting BPM principles to manage Work-flows? Can we consider any of the current NetWeaver applications as model-driven?
    It would be great to know the answers to some of these questions. I would sincerely appreciate if anyone of you could please help me with this. Also, thank you very much for your time and efforts. I would be happy to assign reward points to any informative responses.
    Regards,
    Alok

  • Model Driven Configuration Management

    Hi,
    i'm a PhD student at the [VLBA Lab in Magdeburg|http://www.vlba-lab.de/] and i would like to share my thoughts about my research topic '[Model Driven Configuration Management|http://www.vlba-lab.de/en/Home/Research/Topics/ModelDrivenConfigurationManagement/index.html]' with you. Model-Driven Configuration Management (MDCM), means using MDE techniques to implement the requirements concerning the configuration of IT system landscape and IT infrastructures.
    Problem:
    While the capabilities of Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) have been realized in many parts of software development, MDE support for IT system landscapes and IT infrastructures is barely adequate. Although common frameworks for Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) propose predefined artifacts and methods for this purpose, the transition between the design stage and the operating stage of software takes place manually. Time-consuming discovery procedures capture the current software configuration after the transition, store it in configuration databases and allow further analysis on the basis of reconstructed models.
    Objective:
    The identified gap between EAM and IT operations shall be closed by model-driven configuration management so that
       1. the deployment of software in an IT system landscape and
       2. the configuration of the underlying IT infrastructure can be accomplished automatically and traceably during both the initial transition and later migration.
    During my research i found similiar approaches for using Model-Driven Engineering techniques either for EAM or for IT operations, but not a combination of both and so my question is, if you have any expierences in using MDE for configuring your IT system landscape on the basis of EAM artifacts?
    Thanks,
    Sebastian

    Hi Sebastian;
    Your quest seems to be very interesting.
    Well I am not sure if you have SAP exprience. Well I am Technology consutant and may be I will try to make sence of your reserch from SAP point of view.
    What I understand from (Model Driven arch) MDE in SAP is a traction (program) called "SPRO" . It allows you to configure the already developed allications (in ABAP). This configuration are stored in Database and then allow further analysis. As you explained.
    Also a technology that might intrest you would be BC sets. It performs predefine recomended configurations for your applications and asks for your inputs if required.
    Regarding your specific area of requirement i.e. automation for IT infra configuration ; i generally feel that developers always get all the tools to get their job easily done...  But administrator never get their due share of attention for ease of use of their tools.

  • Version 1.1.1 of LabHSM Toolkit for Complex Event-Driven Development in LabVIEW – Small Corrections and Huge Changes in Licensing.

    A new version of the unique toolkit is now available for download. As announced earlier, LabHSM makes it possible to easily create and then maintain complex event-driven applications in LabVIEW as a collection of HSM-driven active object VIs using a higher level of abstraction and agile software development methodologies. These active object VIs are created based on a universal Hierarchical State Machine ( HSM or statechart ) template. Therefore, all your code looks similar regardless of its functionality!
    So, what’s new in version 1.1.1?
    The code (made in LabVIEW 7.0 for Windows) now comes complete with block diagrams (password protected).
    Simpler debugging code in the full template.
    Extra menu items in the editor to open VIs as well as HSM files - nice to have when the LabHSM editor is the only VI open.
    Copying of default actions is now implemented correctly.
    No more run-time licenses! Just buy a developer's license once and distribute as many applications as you like!
    The "Demo_" prefix is no longer required for VIs created in the trial version.
    No more nag messages while running your HSMs!
    As before, the LabHSM toolkit is available for UNLIMITED PERIOD trial. Please visit http://www.labhsm.com for details and download. The site also contains references which you may want to check to learn more about hierarchical state machines and active object computing.

  • Need documentation about "Model Driven Development within SAP Netweaver"

    Hi All,
    in my dissertation there is a topic called "Model Driven Development within SAP Netweaver" and I am looking for documentation (literature) pointing on this.
    I'd prefer internet sources since I don't have time to order a book anymore.
    Thanks, Johannes

  • How to Fill Sorted Data with model Driven Development

    Hello
    I am using model driven development. I am using getAll in the Fill method. But the results are not returned sorted by some field that I am interested in. How do I tell the Fill to sort it by some field. Is there some annotation that I can provided in the model...
    thanks
    RK

    You should be able to achieve what you want with an explicit criteria filter on your entity.
    In the Modeler Design view, select your entity and add a filter. You'll see that there is a an "Order By" field in the Properties view.
    Enter the value you want there and then save and redeploy your model. When you don't enter anything in the "Criteria" field, you create a getAll fill.
    Here's an example of an entity created with this type of filter; it is sorted by price in ascending order:
    <entity name="Product" persistent="true">
      <annotation name="ServerProperties" ServerType="LCDS"/>
      <annotation name="DMS" Table="PRODUCT"/>
      <annotation name="RDS" introspectedColumns="PRODUCTID,DESCRIPTION,PRICE,PRODUCTNAME"/>
      <annotation name="VisualModeler" width="115" height="110" x="364" y="203"/>
      <id name="productid" type="integer">
      <annotation name="DMS" ColumnName="PRODUCTID"/>
      </id>
      <property name="description" type="string" length="255">
      <annotation name="DMS" ColumnName="DESCRIPTION"/>
      </property>
      <property name="price" type="float">
      <annotation name="DMS" ColumnName="PRICE"/>
      </property>
      <property name="productname" type="string" length="255">
      <annotation name="DMS" ColumnName="PRODUCTNAME"/>
      </property>
      <filter name="MyFill" order="price ASC"/>
      </entity>
