Conditionally rendering of text

Hi,
In the DB, I've got a table containing a field called 'value' that is "0" or "1".
On a JSF page, I have a button to change this value from 0 to 1, or from 1 to 0 in the DB.
Below that button, I want a text displaying :
"The application is Running" if the value in the DB is set to 1,
"The application is Stopped" if the value in the DB is set to 0.
I can manage this by setting the Rendered field to a condition,
but what condition?
What I have done so far :
I created a method in AM called 'isRunning' that returns true or false.
So I thought I could set the Rendered field to : #{bindings.isRunning.execute}
but that's not working.
Any hints ?

I created a getStatus() method in AM that returns the string 'running' or 'not running'.
But I'm don't know how to call this method.
Normally it should be in #{bindings.getStatus} , but it's not there ?
It's a show detail header component that must display : This application is running / not running.

PDF in browser rendered as Text

We're trying to render SMARTFORMS outpur as PDF within our WebDynpro
application. We've found several posts which have been very helpful
and I think we're close. When we try to show the pdf a client browser window
is spawned and the content is rendered as text within the browser (shown below).
It looks like I'm not setting the content-type in the response header correctly.
Below is the code we're using.
Much Thanks,
Greg
/* Code used to launch browser and view PDF */
String file_prefix = "rfq";
   IWDCachedWebResource pdfResource = WDWebResource.getPublicCachedWebResource(

                  wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getDeployableObjectPart(),
                  file_prefix );

Hi,
Create a separate view to display PDF.
Create a frame on that view and attach its datasource to url.
Please go through the following code.
The return value URL should be used as source for Frame.
private String convertXstringToUrl( byte[] doc_content, java.lang.String doc_type ) {
          // setIFrameUrl()
       String url = "";
       if (doc_content != null && doc_content.length != 0) {
            MessageManager msgMgr;
            WDWebResourceType webResType = WDWebResourceType.PDF;
            if (doc_type.equals("PDF")) {
                 webResType = WDWebResourceType.PDF;
               } else if (doc_type.equals("HTML")){
                 webResType = WDWebResourceType.HTML;
            } else if (doc_type.equals("XML")) {
                 webResType = WDWebResourceType.XML;
            } else {

            IWDWebResource webResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(doc_content, webResType);
//            IWDWebResource webResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(doc_content, webResType, false);
            try {
                 url = webResource.getURL();

Safari rendering default text with condensed font?

Has anyone else experienced this in the last few days?
All of a sudden Safari is rendering default text with a different font, a light, condensed one.
The side-by-side shows the Wordpress Admin menu on my Macbook & on my iMac.
The Macbook is still rendering as always, the iMac now has this new font.
Aside from within the Wordpress Admin area, I'm seeing the same thing in various other places you'd expect to see a default font, for default text.
It's not the end of the world but considering I haven't done anything to cause the change I'm concerned it's something malicious causing it,
any insights anyone?
Thanks in advance.

Installled any third party fonts lately?
And check for duplicate fonts.
Open the Font Book in your Applications folder.
From the Font Book menu bar click Edit > Look for Enabled Duplicates

Text Problem - 'Editing or Rendering the text layer will cause the layout to change'

Hello all,
The problem I'm having is that when I try to edit a text layer, the layout of the layer changes completely - I have a grey warning triangle in the affected layer thumbnail that states the following message when I hover over it :
'Font is present on system but requires a layout change'
When I double click to edit the text layer, the following warning dialog pops up:
'Editing or Rendering the text layer will cause the layout to change'
I'm forced to click 'okay' to proceed which is when the layout of the text layer changes completely! Obviously this has massive implications for branding and page consitency!!
Now even if I have to do this the long way round, which means rebuilding each individual text layer for every single document, there is another problem, it appears that after I click 'OK' photoshop distorts the text! This means that I can't increase or decrease the font size to match it up! Same font, Same height, same AA, same weight, different circle radius!
Any help is massively appreciated,
I'm using CS5 64bit Cloud edition on Windows 7, I've already tried updating and reinstalling Photoshop but it doesnt remedy the problem, I've reinstalled a sample batch of the fonts affected and deleted any plugins
GULP!

That warning is pretty clear - you don't appear to have the font on your system. Not sure what otehr answer you are looking for. The layout changes beyond that could be indicative of a million things like the original source layers having been heavily customized with manual kerning, used a different version of a seemingly similar font, have been created with glyph substitution on a system with a different language and whatever... Unless you mean you created the files yourself just yesterday and the warning appears despite nothing have changed, everything works as intended. If you think something is up, you need to provide more info.

Acrobat renders embedded text unsearchable by spreading out letters: why?

Something strange happened today when I created a single PDF page of a magazine and inserted it into the larger PDF of the entire magazine: all the letters in the words embedded in the single PDF page were automatically spread out, so this caption, in the single PDF page:
the commodore just faintly heard the words
HE WAS NOT MEANT TO HEAR”
appeared this way, on that same page within the larger PDF document:
t h e c o m m o d o r e j u s t f a i n t l y h e a r d t h e w o r d s
HE WA S NOT ME A N T TO H E A R ”
with white space inserted between most of the letters. This change effectively renders the text unsearchable, since no one is going to insert a space between letters when searching for words in the pdf.
Does anyone know why this happens? And is there any way of preventing it? If it helps, this spreading out of letters seems to happen more often in headers and captions than in columns of text. Thanks!

Not sure, but were the fonts embedded. It looks like a font issue. You might also try scrolling through the text to see if the spaces are really there.

Issue with if condition in smartform text elements

Hi all.
iam having a problem in smart forms
itab has 3 fields
id matnr werks
1 a p1
1 b p2
1 c p3
2 b l1
2 c l2
3 q u1
3 l u2
i neead output like in the smart form
-id = 1-
a p1
b p2
c p3
-id = 2-
b l1
c l2
-id = 3-
q u1
l u2
I have aloop in main window
itab into wa_itab.
then i have program lines
iam writing any perform statment insted iam write the code in here
input paramters wa_itab-id
output paramters id
i declared id type zabc-id under global data in global definations
CLEAR : ID.
ON CHANGE OF WA_itab-ID.
*BREAK point.
ID = WA_ITab-iD.
ENDON.
after the program lines i have a text
/: if &id& ne ' '.
---id = &id& ---
/: endif
&wa_itab-matnr& &wa_itab-werks&
now i see the output
-id = 1-
a p1
-id=- i don't need this (&id& has no value)
b p2
-id=- i don't need this
c p3
-id = 2-
b l1
-id=- i don't need this
c l2
-id = 3-
q u1
-id=- i don't need this
l u2
I checked my code if two items have same id the id has no value and you can see the output also
but for some reason its still goinng into the if condition
And also is there away that i can debugg my text elements like in scripts. my break point doesn't take me to the text elements
Thanks

1. Move only the ID into one internal table say i_id,
2. Now in your smartform, create a table and loop at i_id into wa_id.
3.Print your ID in a text, &wa_id-id&
3. Now in main area of the table Create a loop with the internal table you mentioned above with 3 elements, say, i_data into wa_data give CONDITION as wa_data-id = wa_id-id.
4. Print your other values &wa_data-matnr& &wa_data-werks&
5. outside main area, clear the work areas.
This should work fine as i use the same logic in one of my current developments!!!

If condition in standard text in so10

Hi,
Im using a standard text where ive written an IF condition but its not working.Im calling that text in my program using READ_TEXT, TEXT_CONTROL_REPLACE and TEXT_SYMBOL_REPLACE function modules.Im not using sapscript or smartform.All my dynamic variables are working fine but for my IF condition what is happening is IF statement is also true and ELSEIF is also true.The statement under if is also getting printed and statement under elseif is also getting printed.
Could anyone help please.
Regards,
Nidhi.

Standard text " if conditions " dont work other than scripts and smartforms.
to my surprise, if conditions have not worked even when I used them as includes in ADOBE forms.
Please handle the conditions in your program itself.

Conditional for a text input box NOT being null? Sorry for asking so many questions!

Okay, here's the situation. I'm creating a simulation of a form on which there are several text input boxes, 7 of which are mandatory fields. I know I can use a conditional to check whether the box has nothing in it by creating a null variable with no value and doing "if [box variable] is equal to [null variable] then", but the problem is that the validation captions I need to show need to be shown in order, that is to say that the caption for entering a value for the first box will always be shown if that box is null regardless of the contents of other boxes, the second will be shown if that one is null and the first one isn't etc.
When I was investigating this I noticed a post by Lilybiri saying that comparison with a null variable doesn't work for "not equal to" so I'm having a hard time figuring out how to show the captions based on priority. For example, to show the second caption I need to not only check whether the second box variable is null, but also whether the first one isn't.
It gets pretty crazy further along the line where I get to the 7th mandatory field and need to check whether the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth boxes are NOT null and whether the 7th one IS. Help!
I did come up with one potential solution to this prior to posting: if I set a different advanced action for each input box losing focus which checks whether the variable is null and if so sets a "flag" variable to 0, and in the else set it to 1, I imagine I can then replace the "not equal to" with a check to that flag variable being equal to 1 (which means there is text in the box). I think this will work but I thought I'd check to see if there's an easier way first.

No it DOESN'T require everything to be on one slide. It just has to LOOK as if that's what it is.
I would suggest that it doesn't really matter how many Captivate slides are involved in the final solution, as long as it works the same way (or as close as possible) to the original software that you are simulating. Your users don't frankly know or care how you achieved the simulation. I guarantee they won't be thinking of you or Captivate.
In my experience, you can make creating elearning a lot more difficult than it needs to be in Captivate by trying to rebuild the app, rather than just simulating how it works. For example, thinking that if everything happened on one web page or screen in the app then it must also happen on a single slide in Captivate. The fact of the matter is IT DOESN'T need to work this way. And in some cases it might even be impossible to reproduce in Captivate this way.
So the quickest path to a solution is often to use multiple slides, which has the advantage of allowing you to "fix" certain things on screen (e.g. the contents of fields already visited) by using READ ONLY variable output in transparent captions, focusing only on one element of the interface that the user can interact with on that slide. It doesn't necessarily prevent you from moving back and forth between elements, just as you can in the original app. But it is far easier to create and maintain.
I'm not saying you wouldn't be able to pull this off on one slide in Captivate, but it is going to require a LOT of variables and Advanced Actions to build and debug. So the term Rapid Elearning becomes something of a misnomer if it takes you a long time to complete one slide.

What causes selectOneChoice to be rendered as text instead of drop down?

I notice that my UIInput components are being rendered as HTML text rather than their normal HTML tags when I specify a value in EL. For example, the selectOneChoice component is rendered as:
&lt!-- Start: oracle.adf.SelectOne["ruleSelection"] --&gt&ltspan id="form1:ruleSelection" class="x6"&gtCredit Okay&lt/span&gt
so I can't see the drop down arrow or box or any of the other options since it doesn't use the normal HTML select tag.
The source is below:
Except from jsp page
<af:selectOneChoice binding="#{testRuleSetBackingBean.ruleSelection}"
id="ruleSelection" value="#{testRuleSetBackingBean.rows[0].rule}">
<f:selectItems value="#{testRuleSetBackingBean.ruleNames}"
binding="#{testRuleSetBackingBean.ruleItem}" id="ruleItem"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>
However if I remove the value attribute from ruleSelection then it renders as expected, with a drop down box with all the items in.
More source below:
Excerpt from backing bean:
private RuleCondition[] rows;
//bindings for ruleSelection
public void setRuleSelection(CoreSelectOneChoice selectOneMenu1) {
this.ruleSelection = selectOneMenu1;
public CoreSelectOneChoice getRuleSelection() {
return ruleSelection;
//bindings for ruleItem
public void setRuleItem(UISelectItems selectItems1) {
this.ruleItem = selectItems1;
public UISelectItems getRuleItem() {
return ruleItem;
// items in the list are names of rules
public ArrayList<SelectItem> getRuleNames(){
//... just returns an array list of javax.faces.model.SelectItem
//with each SelectItem containing a value and label that are String objects
Except from RuleCondition.java
private Rule rule;
public Rule getRule(){
return rule;
public String toString(){
     return this.getClass().getName();
// equals overriden so that we can equate a String object and a Rule object
// if the String equals the class name of the Rule
public boolean equals(Object obj){
          if (obj instanceof String){
               if (this.getClass().getName().equals(obj)){
                    return true;
               }else {
                    return false;
          }else if(this.getClass().getName().equals(obj.getClass().getName())){
               return true;
          }else {
               return false;

Using ADF Faces implementation 10_1_3_0_4
Using MyFaces 1.1.3 (same results with 1.1.1)
Turning debug-output on in adf-faces-config.xml produced nothing
Any hints on what may cause this behaviour?

Minutes after posting this I determined the answer - lack of setters. I added:
RuleCondition.getRule(.....)
TestRuleSetBackingBean.setRuleNames(....)
and hey, presto - I can now see the drop down.
This makes perfect sense to me now - it was determining this as a read-only property. Nice.

What is best practice for conditional rendering?

i have a set of radio buttons that conditionally render another set, which in turn conditionally render a 3rd set.
i am doing this by using a valueChangeListener on an h:selectOneRadio
when i click yes on the 1st set it renders the 2nd set.
when i click yes on the 2nd set it renders the 3rd set.
when i click no on the 1st set now it correctly removes the 2nd & 3rd sets, the method also nulls the values.
when i click yes on the 1st set, it renders the 2nd set with the old values even though they were nulled. and i can see in the debugger they are still null.
so there seems to be an issue updating the model, but i dont know what that issue is. im sure it just has something to do with the way i am trying this conditional render. please see below for my first field and my valueChangeListener method.
any help with what is a best practice for this scenario would be greatly appreciated.

Similar issue is covered and explained here: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/10/populate-child-menus.html]. Not sure if it solves your problem as you're using ajax4jsf whereas I don't, but it might give new insights. To the point you might need to bind the component(s) and use setValue(null) or setSubmittedValue(null).

How to check && condition in output text

I want to check a condition like this in output text
<af:outputText id="t1" value = "#{empty bean.text1 && empty bean.text2 ? 'temp1' : 'temp2' " />
It throws an error saying "Expected name instead of

If you are editing the el expression in source tab of your jsff/jspx file use the below el:
<af:outputText id="t1" value = "#{empty bean.text1 *&&* empty bean.text2 ? 'temp1' : 'temp2' " />
If you use the el: <af:outputText id="t1" value = "#{empty bean.text1 && empty bean.text2 ? 'temp1' : 'temp2' " /> in the property inspector, then it gets converted to the above expression.
Hope it helps.

SSRS web based report viewer control rendering issues - text getting clipped chopped off

Hi,
I am using web based SSRS report viewer control to display SSRS reports in browsers like Chrome, FF, IE, Safari etc. My issue is some text is getting chopped off (clipped) in all cells of some reports. I investigated on my end by analyzing generated HTML
and I could see a problem in the HTML that report viewer control is generating. But I am afraid to apply any HTML or Javascript hacks at the moment considering we have hundreds of reports.
You can see in above image how text got chopped off. The problem in HTML (given below) is the text has been wrapped in a div tag with a fixed height. If I remove the height and also padding on parent TD, the text appears properly.
<td class="A23dfe7c5f99245f2a0db522a22a6035597c" style="HEIGHT:5.00mm;background-color:#d3d3d3;"><div style="HEIGHT:3.24mm;overflow:hidden;"><table lang="en-US" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0" border="0" class="Pd9776e5f7eaf4df696265b8b49d1da39_1_r17"><tbody><tr><td class="A23dfe7c5f99245f2a0db522a22a6035597" style="word-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap;">MyType11</td></tr></tbody></table></div></td>
Please let me know if you have faced a similar scenario before.
Here is link to stackoverflow thread -
Stackoverflow thread
Regards
Murtaza

Hi Murtaza,
According to your description, when you display the report with Report Viewer control, the data within the text is cutoff.
Based on my research, the issue could cause by that Arial Unicode MS font hasn’t been installed on the server where Reporting Services run. Besides, when we use ReportViewer control to render report, we’d better set
AsyncRendering="true" in the Report Viewer control. Also please run the IE with compatibility mode. For more information, please refer to similar threads below:

PDFMaker: Extra chars being rendered in text fields

I've used PDFMaker (Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional) to render a PDF from a Microsoft Word document. However, the PDF contains extra characters; specifically, characters are added to any fields referencing headings in the document.
In the following screen capture, you can see an example:
http://img510.imageshack.us/my.php?image=extracharactersinfieldstl8.jpg
The page header should read "Introduction * Introduction". These aren't static text, but text fields that reference headings. However, Acrobat has introduced the extra characters "1B" and "19B".
I've checked, and the headings that the field references are actually rendered correctly (one heading - Introduction - is shown on the screen capture itself).
Regards,
Paul.

Displaying rendered HTML text in spry detail region

Hi,
I have just started to play around with DW CS3 & spry and
love them!
I have a Master/Detail spry going from my database, but am
having a problem displaying the detail the way I need it. The mySQL
field is a BLOB for some HTML formatted text (I get the text
elsewhere using a Xinha textarea edit widget and load the the
formatted HTML text into my db). For example, my string is
"<h2>this test</h2><strong>xyz</strong>"
which is loaded into my db. I am using the dreamweaver ADDT export
XML functionality to generate my spry master/detail region.
My detail region is displaying the correct html associated
with the selected master table entry, but it's with the HTML tags,
not rendered as HTML (I don't want to see
<h2>title</h2>; I'd like to see title with <H2>
formatting).
It's much like what I think a RSS feed would be, but can't
find a way just to get the html to render because I don't have the
files externally to source an iframe or anything. (I tried a XLS
fragment transformation, just putting the detail record field that
I want in an XLS file, but that didn't do anything).
Any kind of guidance, hint, point and laugh but then tell me,
would be greatly appreciated. I also posted at first at ADDT and
then General Dreamweaver because I didn't locate this forum in the
Forum topic list, so when I did find this I thought this is
obviously where I should have first posted - sorry if anyone has
also been surfing around. Thanks so much so any info.

Hi Don,
Thanks so much for responding. I actually did do that, but it
seems like I might be doing it in the wrong place. I tried it in
the .js that I have in my header:
var dsList = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("./export.php",
"theSpecials/special",{sortOnLoad:"rating",sortOrderOnLoad:"ascending",distinctOnLoad:tru e});
dsList.setColumnType("detail", "html");
which didn't do it. I also tried it right in my detail
display area:
<div style="overflow:hidden; width: 400px;"
spry:detailregion="dsList">
<div> 
<div id="detailDisplay" style="width:380px; "> 
<script
type="text/javascript">dsList.setColumnType("detail","html");</script>{dsList::detail}

</div> 
</div> 

</div>
Excuse the inline ugliness, will clean it up when it's
functional. But that doesn't seem to do it either. I am storing
that particular field as a blob in the mysql database, but I
already tried making that a VARCHAR which had no effect either.
Thanks so much for for the suggestion! Any other gems that I
can try?
Liz

Firefox not rendering italic text

I can't pinpoint specifically when this began, but this is an issue I've only seen after doing a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04. Firefox isn't rendering text that appears between <i> and <cite> tags (there may be others that would render as italicized text by default, but I haven't checked), but is correctly rendering text between <em> tags. The text is literally just gone but is taking up space in the layout.
Chrome on the same machine isn't having the same problem

It seem that in the latest versions of (k)ubuntu only ttf-dejavu-core is installed by default. If you install ttf-dejavu-extra [ sudo apt-get install ttf-dejavu-extra ] that fixes the problem for me
