CQ5 Client Context stores on page load undefined

I have noticed on several page loads, even on reset,  the client context values for default stores are initially undefined.  What is the explanation for that occuring.

Hello,
As per my experience most of the time the values shows as undefined when it actually not set in store. some of the time i also experience when store component shows undefined eventhough data stored in stores. Most of the time it works fine with context reset option which actually refresh the context cached data from store and for some time you can say its because of how stores implemented (persistent store Vs not persistent store) and that probably you can validate via going to edit page of client context component page http://<host>:<port>/etc/clientcontext/default/content.html.
And if your case is more wierd than this then check with day care.
Thanks,
Pawan

  • I just got the new itunes and I can open itunes and see my music but whenI try and go to the itunes store it just loads to a white page. I try and refresh and go to the home page and nothing happens. I can sign into my account and the tabs for the itunes

    I just got the new itunes and I can open itunes and see my music but whenI try and go to the itunes store it just loads to a white page. I try and refresh and go to the home page and nothing happens. I can sign into my account and the tabs for the itunes store pop up like they normally would when browsing the itunes store but when I click on one of them, it is a blank page. Is there a setting I need to change? Does it just take an extremely long time to load? Please help!!

    Bucktr09:
    I'm having the exact same problem.  I upgraded to the newest version of iTunes on my iMac and ever since I did the store is a blank white screen.  I can get my library content but the store is a no go.  Is there any one out there with a solution?

  • Multiple Portal page loads cause Param to become undefined

    Sirs,
    I am new to this so please bear with me. I was very please to
    get SPRY "tab" and "accordion" panels to work in our PORTAL
    (oracle). The only roadblock I came across is beyond my control.
    The portal pages load twice. I cannot change that. On each page I
    have two "separate" tab panels. I need to reference one tab panel
    on another page and am using using "SpryURLUtils" param object to
    do this. The second portal page load cancels it out and instead,
    the last TABBED panel to load (no matter what ID is referenced on
    it) receives the call and opens that panel instead.
    How can I keep the "?tab=0&panel=1#OPENTHECORRECTPANEL"
    in play when coming from another page? I have tried to use the
    "javascript: undefined" but I am new to Javascript and cannot get
    it to work. (I know enough to understand what is going on but have
    no real experience in creating my own code.) Has anyone else
    experienced this and how have you overcome it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, we have the same problem. Our setting with the mdc.host works allready. But we must start the iview directly by url without out the portal around.
    We use this Url:
    https://<portal>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prteventname/Navigate/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fevery_user!2fgeneral!2fdefaultDesktop!2fframeworkPages!2fframeworkpage!2fcom.sap.portal.innerpage!2fcom.sap.portal.contentarea?NavigationTarget=ROLES://...
    Now we have the problem that the second cookie in the other domain, will not be created?
    Have you any solution?

  • After installing Mavericks, App Store/Numbers/Pages don't load

    After installing the upgrade the Mavericks, some apps wont open including;
    App Store, Numbers, Pages, iBooks, Maps, Keynote
    Error code in Console reads;
    Unable to load nib file: Mainmenu, exiting
    as well as exited with code : 1
    Can anyone help or is it a trip to the store?
    I'm on a Macbook Pro early 2011
    Thanks,

    All
    I found the solution myself without having to go to the store.
    Restarted Mac
    During startup, hold down Command and R keys when grey screen appears
    Popup appears
    Select Reinstall OS X
    Reinstalls Mavericks
    Some Apps still dont work - Numbers, Keynote, Pages
    Simply moved Apps to trash, emptied trash and rebooted Mac
    Went to App Store - now working after reinstalling Mavericks - and went to Purchases and installed/updated Apps
    All now working fine......
    Hope this helps anyone else.
    PS....DO NOT RUN TUNEUPMYMAC APP - I think that this may have added to the problem after installing Mavericks the first time, but can't be sure.

  • Execute ViewObject with Parameters at JSF Page Load?  JSF/ADF/BC 10.1.3

    This 'should' be a simple problem, but I'm not seeing an answer, no doubt because I'm not searching for the right thing.
    I have a page that has a grid populated by a view object that has a couple of named parameters. I have the values stored for the parameters based upon actions the user has already taken before they navigate to this page. I need to pass the parameters to the view object and open the query up without any user intervention, preferable before (or at) page load.
    I see I can drag an 'ExecWithParams' from the data control pallette, but it looks like it would default to having the user enter the parameter values, which is what I'd like to avoid.
    In a previous life I had events available like 'OnCreate' where I'd put code like this, but I'm still learning to think in JSF/Java.

    Ok, now I see how it's supposed to work. Pretty straightforward if you know where to look. It raises another question for me though...
    In my process, I've got the user logging in, at which point a series of user preferences are extracted from the database. My first thought was to store them somehow in the users' session, but I didn't see a way to do that, so I created my own implementation of it with a bunch of getter/setter methods, inside the data model of the project. Unfortunately, I can't see a way to surface them without putting them in the ApplicationModule and adding them to the client interface. In the interim, I came across some utilities methods (written by Steve Muench and Duncan Mills) called ADFJSFUtils and JSFUtils. In the JSFUtils there's this method:
    void storeOnSession(String key, Object object) {
    FacesContext ctx = getFacesContext();
    Map sessionState = ctx.getExternalContext().getSessionMap();
    sessionState.put(key, object);
    I assume it's designed to work in the ViewController project (since I haven't been able to call it from my Model project) .
    This has been a long way to ask: What's the best/recommended way to store variable values for the users' session is a way that I can access them for binding to view objects (as you described above)? I'd love to just implement the storeOnSession right in my appplication module, but it lacks the context, apparently.

  • ADF ProcessScope -- I get a new AdfFacesContext on each page load

    I am trying to store some variables in the ADF processScope. But the next time the page is loaded and calls the managed bean methods, the AdfFacesContext is different, and so the processScope is empty. The managed bean is session scope, and I am setting the processScope variables in the bean's Java code.
    In particular this happens when I click on the af:table pagination links, e.g. the "next 25".
    How can I get access to the same AdfFacesContext (and therefore the same processScope) the next time the page loads and calls the managed bean?
    I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0.
    Here is the example code, and the output that is produced from my System.out.println statements:

    Thanks for your help,
    JbL

    Thanks for the idea, Murph.
    I didn't need a session scope bean, request would be fine, I just was trying to make something work that would allow me access to the process scope attributes. I want to allow multiple browser windows searching on different objects independently, so I don't want to use session scope.
    I tried removing the variable declaration and setting/getting the processScope attribute in the setter/getter methods, to make the process scope attributes independent of the managed bean. But each time the page loads (by clicking the table navigation links), I still lose the process scope attributes. I tried with both session and request scope beans. Either way, in the getLoad() method, when I try to get the label from the process scope (using the new version of getLabel()), it is null.
    So the root problem is still there.
    For continued discussion on this more specific problem, see my separate thread "JSF ProcessScope attribute missing on page reload from af:table pagination"
    at JSF ProcessScope attribute missing on page reload from af:table pagination

  • URL of the current portal page loaded using Javascript ?

    Hello:
    I am trying to add programmatically the url of the current
    page loaded in the portal to the 'Favorites List'. There
    is a pre-built KM iview to store your 'favorites'.
    I can extract and write to this 'favorites' using KM java
    API. But only challenge is to extract the current loaded
    page URL and title using Javascript.
    I would appreciate any help in this regard.
    Thank you very much,
    Prasad Nutalapati

    Dude i was having the exact same problem. I solved it using the SAP-provided EPCM (javascript client framework).
    Javascript Code
    var pageName = "";
    var URL = "";
    function bookmarkPage()
         /* page url */
         var fullURL = "https://<%=request.getServerName()%>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=" + URL;
         /* IE bookmark */
         if(EPCM.getUAType() == EPCM.MSIE)
              window.external.AddFavorite(fullURL , pageName);
         else
              var msg = "Sorry. The \"Add To Favorites\" feature only works with Internet Explorer. " +
                          "The URL to this page is " + fullURL;
              alert(msg);
    /* get pagename from eventObject from subscribed event */
    function getPageObject(eventObj) {
        pageName = eventObj.dataObject.title;
        URL = eventObj.dataObject.URL;
    /* subscribe to event in pagetoolbar area */
    EPCM.subscribeEvent("urn:com.sapportals:navigation", "AddNavTargetAllowDuplicate", getPageObject);
    End of code
    Basically, what this does is that everytime a page loads, the innerpage, where the content is, raises an event using  the EPCM.raiseEvent() method. EPCM.subscribeEvent subscribes to an event called AddNavTargetAllowDuplicate which has an object holding the page information (i.e. page title and URL (ROLE://...)). Everytime that it notices an event raised, the function getPageObject gets called to go get data from the event object that is available globally in the framework.
    You should be able to put this code anywhere in any iview and it should work. Thou i have only tried putting it in the masthead. Try and if you still have questions please let me know.

  • Getting Client Context in Class Library for Sharepoint 2013 provider hosted app

    I have created an MVC Provider hosted app.
    From my controllers I can easily get the client context via:
    var spContext = SharePointContextProvider.Current.GetSharePointContext(HttpContext);
    But in my layout page, I have a call that gets the topnavbar and replicates it:
    @foreach (var nav in HostHelper.GetNav(this))
    <li class='static'>
    <a class='static menu-item ms-core-listMenu-item ms-displayInline ms-navedit-linkNode' href='@nav.Url'>
    <span class='addition-background ms-navedit flyoutArrow'>
                                                            <span class='menu-item-text'>
    @nav.Title                                                
    </span>                                                   </span>                                               
    </a>                                           
    </li>                                       
    This causes an error because I am not sure how to get the clientcontext from my class. I have tried:
    public static NavigationNodeCollection GetNav()       
    var spContext = SharePointContextProvider.Current.GetSharePointContext(System.Web.HttpContext.Current);
    using (var clientContext = spContext.CreateUserClientContextForSPHost())
    if (clientContext != null)
    NavigationNodeCollection topNav = clientContext.Web.Navigation.TopNavigationBar;            
    clientContext.Load(topNav);                   
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();                   
    return topNav;                                       }           
    return null;       
    put it doesnt get the client context

    Hi,
    According to your description,  my understanding is that you want to get SharePoint provider hosted app ClientContext in the layout page.
    In the layout page, it needs to use TokenHelper Class to get access token and then retrieve the ClientContext.
    Here is a detailed article for your reference:
    How to Get SharePoint Client Context in SharePoint Apps (Provider Hosted / SharePoint Access ) in CSOM (Client Side Object Model)

  • Invoke FileDownloadActionListener on page load

    I have list of file file download links and i want to refer this file downloads , So i want to refer this download links in other pages or sites which should directly link
    For eg http://mysite.com/context-root/faces/Download .jspx?file=myfile.zip&mode=download , so after loading the page downloa should starts automatically after the page load , whats the best way to do it ?

    Hi,
    You can have a client listener at document level (of type load) and queue a server event. In the server method you process the button click (for which you've added af:fileDownloadActionListener).
    Check this thread for achieving this in programmatic way.
    invoke af:fileDownloadActionListener programmatically

  • How to execute a view object on page load

    Hi
    I have got two pages, one is login page and the other is search page.
    When ever the user who has logged in, navigates to the search page,
    following events should occur.
    1) a view object should get executed. This view object should check whether there is a default search for the user who has logged in( the check is made based on a boolean variable). This particular view object has got a bind variable.
    a) logged in user.
    Based on who ever has logged in, the bind variable should be set as the logged in user and all the attributes concerning the default search for the logged in user must be populated in select input text components in the search page. ( there are certain select input text components in the search page).
    If there is no default search for the logged in user, then the search page should open up, but without any values populated in the select input text component.
    Please let me know if i am not clear with my question.
    My ultimate aim is to execute a view object on page load for which the bind variable is set as the logged in user.

    actually, your requirement isn't exactly to execute a view object on "a" page load, as in ageneric page load, that would be little more intensive , with you requiring an invokeAction in your page bindings etc.
    Yours, i presume is a simple case wherein if you link your login command button at the initial screen to a method in your managed bean, should do the trick. Within the managed bean method code ,
    get the username ( which you can probably store on the request at time of login) ,
    get hold of your view object,
    set the bind variable ,
    execute the query on the VO ,
    return an appropriate string outcome , which is handled by your faces context navigation rules.
    Fairly straightforward procedure, unless there's something extra you want to do apart from just that.

  • CQ55 Client Context user age

    Hi CQ people,
    I've been experimenting with the Client Context in 55, and have noticed some inconsistencies regarding the Profile Data Context Store.
    Firstly, if a user has an explicit 'age' profile property (but not a 'birthday')  then the context store will not pick this up (or rather, I think it get's overwritten somewhere in the javascript code which populates the context store object at the client). You should be able to see this by creating a new Geometrixx Online user and setting their age through the site's profile page...
    Secondly, if a user does have an birthday, their actual age seems to be miscalculated by the client context - for example, [email protected] (birthday = 27th Feb 1992) is currently showing at 19 years old in the client context on my machine!
    Has anybody else spotted this?
    regards,
    tom

    Thanks Lars and Ryan,
    You're right, having a user profile property of 'age' makes no sense at all, as it will just get out of date. Strange that the Geometrixx site profile page uses this, but I guess it's only an example.
    Are you able to reproduce the issue with the age being calculated incorrectly from the birthday? It was pretty easy to see using that user (in the ClientContext).
    I can't check now, and it's possible that I'm going mad, but I swear the age was being calculated wrongly...

  • I want to writte C# code for 503 Service Unavailable error to web application page immediate close connection any page loaded

    Here is a ticket regarding our current client web application (  Image data add, edit , delete in folder with form data in MSSQL Database) that using code c#, web form, ajax, VS2008, MSSQL Server2008 , it appears that there is an error where the HTTP
    503 error occurs. 
    . Below is a conversation with Host Server support assistant.Can you take a look at it? 
    Ben (support) - Hi 
    Customer - We're having an issue with our windows host 
    Ben (support) - What's the issue? 
    Customer - 503 errors 
    Ben (support) - I am not getting any 503 errors on your site, is there a specific url to duplicate the error? 
    Customer - no, it comes and goes without any change Customer - could you have access to any logs ? 
    Ben (support) - Error logs are only available on Linux shared hosting, however with this error it may be related to you reaching your concurrent connections 
    Ben (support) - You can review more about this at the link \ 
    Customer - probably yes - how can we troubleshoot ? 
    Ben (support) - http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/3206/how-many-visitors-can-view-my-site-at-once 
    Ben (support) - This is something you need to review your code and databases to make sure they are closing the connections in a timely manner 
    Customer - we're low traffic, this is an image DB to show our product details to our customers 
    Customer - ahhhh, so we could have straying sessions ? 
    Ben (support) - Correct Customer - any way you could check if it's the case ? 
    Customer - because it was working previously 
    Ben (support) - We already know that's the case as you stated the 503 errors don't happen all the time if it were issue on the server the the 503 would stay. 
    Customer - so our 2/3 max concurrent users can max out the 200 sessions 
    Customer - correct ? 
    Customer - is there a timeout ? 
    Ben (support) - no that's not a time out concurrent connections are a little different then sessions and or connections. Lets say for an example you have 5 images on your site and 5 7 users come to your site this is not 7 concurrent connections but 35. They
    do close after awhile hence why the 503 error comes and goes. You can have these connections close sooner using code but this is something you have to research using your favorite search engine 
    Customer - thank you so much 
    Customer - I'm surprised that this just started a few weeks ago when we haven't changed anything for months 
    Customer - any changes from your side ? lowering of the value maybe ? 
    Customer - I'm trying to understand what I can report as a significant change 
    Ben (support) - We haven't touched that limit in years 
    Ben (support) - This could just be more users to your site than normal or even more images 
    Customer - I was thinking that could be it indeed 
    Customer - so I need to research how to quickly close connections when not needed 
    Ben (support) - Correctly 
    Ben (support) - correct 
    Customer - thanks !! 
    Ben (support) - Your welcome 
     Analysis : 
     The link provided tells us : All Plesk accounts are limited to 200 simultaneous visitors. 
     From what Ben (support) says and a little extra research, if those aren't visitors but connections then it's quite easy to max out, especially if the connections aren't closed when finished using. I'd suggest forwarding this to Kasem to see what he thinks. 
    Cheers,

    The problem is in passing the variables . As I mentioned
    above,, the following error message gets displayed:
    Can't get property window from undefined value
    The code I tried is
    myloader = window.htmlLoader.load(new air.URLRequest("app:/"
    + filen ));
    myloader.window.somevar = "data";

  • Old JSP pages loading // how to get new ones?

    I am new to the forum and hope that experts can help. I am running a JSP application on an Apache/tomcat setup.
    I encounter the problem that although I update a webpage (say 'example.jsp') with a date of 12 Jan 2009, the server continues to use a version of the page from many days before.
    Miscellaneous point: these pages are being accessed by jsp:include and jsp:forward.
    It seems like there is a hidden cache somewhere that the server likes to use in place of my updated pages.
    I'd be pleased for any solutions!

    Thanks everyone for the very helpful replies.
    There were a total of 4 problem files.
    Here are the results based on the suggestions received:
    1. The suggestion of deletion of the .java and .class files (to be regenerated automatically from the .jsp files) fixed 3 of the problems: " Occasionally, we get one that just wont recompile and I have to delete it from the work directory. A JSP is turned into a .java file and then compiled in to a .class file in this directory. Deleting it will cause the file to recompile. [tomcat home]/work/catalina/localhost/[war directory name]/org/apache/[path to the file]." I was a bit wary to delete the entire directory, but I went for it, and everything (including the numerous subdirectories) was automatically regenerated.
    2. There was still 1 problem file. I think that this file was somehow in the RAM of tomcat because the suggestion to shut everything down and restart took care of this last file: "Along with webapps folder in tomcat, there is a work folder. Open work.catalina.localhost. In localhost, you will find your application. Delete it. Deleting it will not cause any problem. Now again restart tomcat. Now you should get the new pages loaded."
    3. The following suggestion seems to be a very good one for my application (i.e., low traffic on a specialized site) that could prevent similar problems in the future: "If this is for development only and you´re using Tomcat, consider to set <context reloadable="true">. This will check for changes in the webapps folder at certain intervals and automagically redeploy/reload the changes. Don´t use this setting in production, it´s fairly expensive to let it check the webapps everytime. For other appservers, consult the appserver specific documentation for similar settings."
    Coming to this community was a very good idea with lots of excellent suggestions that fixed my problem! I had been frustrated by this for some months now. Thanks everyone!

  • Guest Portal web page load is slow and timesout on occasions

    Hi All,
    I'm hitting a rather unusual issue with our Guest WLAN users.  Firstly let me describe the topology:-
    2 x 5508 WLC controllers one Foreign and one Anchor.  Mobility tunnel between the two WLC's as the Guest WLAN is on the WLC sitting in the DMZ.
    30+ 2702i AP's running in FlexConnect mode for Dot1X WLAN and Central Switching for Guest WLAN.
    Cisco ISE 1.3 acting as Radius server and providing Authentication and Authorisation policies.
    Dot1x Authentication and Authorisation works fine with Dynamic VLAN assignment based on AD memberships.
    The issue is with the Guest WLAN is that from a security perspective we weren't allowed to use the Central Web Authentication using L2 MAC filtering with the L3 Security of None as described in Cisco Document: 115732.
    So the Guest WLAN has been set up with no L2 security and the L3 Security of Web Policy with Web Authentication to External Server i.e. Cisco ISE and RADIUS override on the Advanced tab of the Guest WLAN.
    So a client connects to the Guest WLAN SSID > receives the DHCP IP address hosted by the Anchor WLC and then one opens a  browser types in the URL and the Security message is presented > Continue to this website (not recommended) selected and the process of receiving the Web Redirect Sign On Web page begins and hangs around forever.
    Depending on the Client i.e. Apple IPAD the sign on page loads correctly although can be slow to start with but a successful login is completed, but with windows clients and MAC Air books there is an issue with the browser either timing out the page and a retry is necessary or we can't move beyond the following page -  https://x.x.x.x:8443/portal /PortalSetup.action?portal=194a5780-5e4e-11e4-b905-005056bf2f0a?switch_url=https://1.1.1.1/login.html&client mac=00:23:4e:86:98:3c&wlan=GUEST&redirect=www.cisco.com/
    Any suggestions would be really appreciated with this as it's creating a lot of frustration.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    Yes Guest Cert will need to be external. Because Guest Users if they have a non-corporate laptop for example will not have your Internal Company Certs installed in their browser (that you loaded onto ISE), so they cannot trust your internal Cert.
    If your open Firefox or IE under Options/Security View Certificates you will see a list, if its a Guest you will see well known public Certs like Geotrust, Verisign etc.
    For my setup I brought a GeoTrust cert and loaded this into ISE, this way Guests will always Trust the Geostrust ISE cert like https://guest.com for example and the login will appear and be trusted.
