Create a Renderkit for a ADF UI component

This question pertains to JDeveloper 11g and ADF Renderkits. It appears that we cannot change the default-render-kit-id to anything other than oracle.adf.rich. If we have oracle.adf.rich defined as the default renderkit Id is it possible to create a new render kit and a renderer for any ADF component. Wanted to check out if this is at all possible and the behavior of the UI component will be driven by the new renderer.
Thank you.

Hi,
yes you can, but you would loose all PPR behavior and client side framework functionality that is handled by the Oracle render kit (skinning also is handled by the renderer). So whatever you need from this, make sure your renderer has it in too

Is sql functions or trigger possible for adf button component

while developing project using ADF BC and JSF, is possible to invoke sql functions or trigger for an adf button component. plz reply

For this you define a method in the application module which you expose to the client. Then you can drag this method onto the button. The method is call when you click the button.
Inside the method you can call pl/sql functions. Read chapter "37.5 Invoking Stored Procedures and Functions" here http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/b31974/bcadvgen.htm#sm0297

How to implement a go to next node button for an ADF Tree backed by ADF Bin

Dear all,
I have been trying for quite some time now, and I do not get it. For my ADF Tree component, I want to implement a series of little iconic buttons that my users can press to Expand and Collapse the current node - those I have got to work, sort of - and Move to the Next or Previous node. My definition of Next Node is: the next node you can see on the screen; this can either be a child, a sibling or an ancestor's sibling.
+ A
- B
|- C
|+ D
+ E
So from A, next means B, from B next means C, from C it means D and from D it should go to E.
My main question is: how can I programmatically set the currently selected node in the tree? And I mean not just set the focusRowKey...
My tree is bound to a ADF Tree Iterator Binding.
My tree nodes are 'clickable through an action link; this informs a managed bean of the currently selected node, a JUCtrlHierNodeBinding instance.
<f:facet name="DeptView1Node" >
<h:panelGroup>
<af:commandLink text="#{node.Dname}"
immediate="true"
action="StartHrmTree"
>
<af:setActionListener from="#{HrmTreeTree.tree.rowKey}"
to="#{HrmTreeTree.focusRowKey}"/>
<af:setActionListener from="#{node}"
to="#{HrmTreeTree.selectedNode}"/>
<af:resetActionListener/>
</af:commandLink>
</h:panelGroup>
</f:facet>
At that point, in my setSelectedNode method, I can access the Node, its children etc. Methods calls to the tree are less successful; despite their description in the JavaDoc, calls like: getTreeModel().getRowKey() or getContainerRowKey() return null.
From the Next Node button:
<af:commandButton immediate="true" actionListener="#{HrmTreeTree.nextNode}" text=">">
</af:commandButton>
I invoke the nextNode() method on my bean. When I access the selectedNode that I saved on this bean when the node was clicked on, I no longer can access the children of the node. Even the childIterator property returns null.
Using the RowSetIterator I can access the current Row, go to the next row in the RSI, access children, so that seems a reasonable approach. However, I do not know how I can make the first child the currently selected node or even how to tell the tree that the child iterator is the current one.
Using this code:
// find out if the current Node has a child
DCBindingContainer container =
(DCBindingContainer)JsfUtils.getExpressionValue("#{bindings}");
String iterName = "HrmTreeTreeIterator";
JUIteratorBinding ib =
(JUIteratorBinding)container.findIteratorBinding(iterName);
List ibs =container.getIterBindingList();
FacesCtrlHierBinding tree = (FacesCtrlHierBinding)container.findCtrlBinding("HrmTreeTree");
RowSetIterator rsi2 = ib.getRowSetIterator();
I never seem to be able to get beyond the RowSet iterator of the root level nodes. How can I make a child node's row set iterator the current one? How is it that my selected node object does not know how to access its child-nodes or even its childIterator binding? What refresh operation is required here?
Any help will be very much appreciated (and credited in the blog article I will write when it all works out).

Can you try setSelectedRowKeys(RowKeySet newSelectionState) API on the tree? That should change the selection.
You can do some thing like this to populate the RowKeySet:
RowKeySet oldSelectionState = null;
RowKeySet newSelectionState = null;
oldSelectionState = table.getSelectedRowKeys(); //table is the table component
newSelectionState = oldSelectionState.clone();
newSelectionState.clear();
Object oldRowKey = table.getRowKey(); //Save the orginal rowKey in the variable
String rowKey = "XXXX" // the key of the row you want to select
table.setRowKey(rowKey); //set the currency of the table to the row you want to select
newSelectionState.setContained(true); //add the current row to the selection key set
table.setRowKey(oldRowKey); //Restore the currency to the old one.
table.setSelectedRowKeys(newSelectionState); //update the table selection
///Now Do some partial update here to change display

11g ADF Business Component Browser + ADF BC security

Hi gang
I was hoping somebody could help me out with the ADF BC security features as outlined section 28.4.3 of the Fusion Developer's Guide for JDev 11g.
1) I note once you've defined a Policy Store via the ADF Security wizard, each time you run the ADF Business Component Browser a login dialog then shows requiring a user to be authenticated. Is there anyway to turn this off for the ADF BC model project for testing purposes without removing the whole Policy Store set of files?
2) The EO + EO attributes allow the role "unauthenticated-role" as a permission, documented online as:
"Select when you want to grant access privileges to unauthenticated users. All users, including unauthenticated users, for example, those *not*required* to log on to the application, are automatically considered by Oracle Platform Security to be a member of the anonymous-role."
(Note my emphasis in the quote)
Given this, once the ADF Security is enabled, the login dialog always appear for the ADF Business Component Browser. How do you login in an unauthenticated fashion to test an unauthenticated user's privileges against an authenticated privileges?
Hope you can help with thanks,
CM.

Chris,
you should be able to switch it on/off by setting
authorizationEnforce="false"
authenticationRequire="false"/>
in the .adf\META-INF\adf-config.xml file
you can edit this file from within JDeveloper

[ADF Help] How to create a view for multiple tables

Hi,
I am using Jdeveloper 11G and ADF framework, and trying to create a view to update multiple tables.
ex:
Table A has these fields: ID, Name
Table B has these fields: ID, Address
A.ID and B.ID are primary keys.
B.ID has FK relationship with A.ID
(basically, these tables have one-to-one relation)
I want to create a view object, which contains these fields: B.ID (or A.ID), A.Name, B.Address.
So I can execute C,R,U,D for both tables.
I create these tables in DB, and create entity objects for these tables.
So there are 2 entity objects and 1 association.
Then I create a view object based on B and add fields of A into the view:
If the association is not a "Composition Association",
when I run the model ("Oracle Business Component Browser") and try to insert new data, fields of A can't edit.
If the association is a "Composition Association", and click the insert button, I will get
"oracle.jbo.InvalidOwnerException: JBO-25030: Failed to find or invalidate owning entity"
If I create a view object based on A and add filed of B into the view:
When I run the model and try to insert new data, fields of B can't edit, no matter the association is or is not a composition association.
So... how can I create a view for multiple tables correctly?
Thanks for any advices!
Here are some pictures about my problem, if there is any unclear point, please let me know.

(A is Prod, B is CpuSocket)
Edited by: user8093176 on Oct 25, 2009 12:29 AM

Hi Branislav,
Thanks, but the result is same ....
In the step 2 of creating view object, I can select entity objects to be added in to the view.
If I select A first, and then select B (the "Source Usage" of B is A), then finishing the wizards.
When I try to create a new record in the view, I can't edit any properties of B (those files are disabled).
If I select B first, and then select A in crating view object, the result is similar ...
Thanks for any further suggestion.

Why Dev Guide says "create a separate project for each ADF task flow ..."

Hi,
We have a BPM process application which is having a few human tasks. The form for each of the human tasks is similar. We’d like to be able to share some page fragments or code between them and create single web application to handle all the human tasks for this BPM process application. Then I found the following in the Oracle document “Developer’s Guide for Oracle SOA Suite 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.4.0)”:
“If the SOA composite contains multiple human tasks, create a separate project for each ADF task flow associated with each human task.”
I wonder if we have to do that and if so, what is the reason.
Do you have any clue? Please help.
Thanks a lot,
Helen

Hi Helen
1. I do not know the reason why they mentioned like separate project for each human task. NO, this is not required and we can have just one UI Project like MyTaskForms and have all the JSPs in this same project for each Human Task.
2. On our side, we have like 10 Human Tasks, all using the same Payload. So we have 10 .task file. For the very first .task file, we used Auto Generate Project and gave project name like OurAppTaskForms. The reason we did this is, so that it adds all the required dependent libraries, tag libs etc properly. For all remaining 9 .tasks file, we did NOT use auto generate. Instead we used standard New -> JSF From Human Task and select one task at a time and follow the steps. These steps are covered in the online documentation. At the end in our BPM App, we have just one UI Project with all the 10 screens.
3. ALSO, all the 10 screens have some common data. This we put in a reusable JSF Fragment page. And associated a custom Managed Bean for this to set and get values from this fragment and also some Actions for some buttons in the JSF. Then we included this JSF in each taskform jsf file, uisng the include tag. We added this include tag, somewhere in the top. So all screens share common jsf fragment page.
4. We can refine the above stuff further. As per above, we still have 10 JSF screens for each one of the 10 .tasks. Ofcourse all these 10 jsf have same common jsf fragment. BUT instead of 10 individual jsf screens, we can have only ONE Jsf screen also. Refer online docs for the details. The challenging part is, since we have only one jsf, there may be some bussiness stuff, validatoin stuff to take care of in custom ValidationCallback Handler classes. Say for Task1, we had to show some buttons, but NOT for Task2. So we had to handle this logic. Also in validation call back, we can always get each Tasks, title also. So we can workaround this issue also. We are in the process of doing this right now. But first 3, we already did and they are working fine.
My personal suggestion is first go with single jsf fragment and include in all tasks jsp files. Any changes to common elements need to make only in one place i.e fragment page.
Thanks

Creating A Class For A ComboBox Component

I have a comboBox component that I would like to create a
class for. But I am not sure if I could. I see how you can use the
Linkage window to assign an AS 2.0 Class to a movie clip, but I do
not see that same option for a comboBox component.
It has all of the basic combo box things that I would like to
seperate out into it's own class if possible
If anyone could give me a few tips, or better yet, point me
to a few good tutorials, that would be great.

How to create a hint for a component(awt),thanks

How to create a hint for a component(awt),the component of awt has not the property.

If you are talking about a tooltip, this is going to be hard.
You are probably going to have to use a mouseMotionListener to get the event that the mouse is over the component and then a Timer to fire the showTooltip event if the mouse hasn't moved in some amount of time.

Unable to create Entity objects for tables in TimesTen database using ADF

Hi,
I am not able to create Entity and View objects for tables in TimesTen database using ADF. I have installed TimesTen client on my machine.
I have created a database connection by using connection type as "Generic JDBC" and giving driver class and JDBC URL. I am attaching screen shot of the same.
I am right clicking on Model project and selecting New option after that I am selecting ADF Business components and in it I am selecting Business components from tables and there I am querying for tables.I am getting list of tables and when I am trying to create a Entity object from the table after clicking finish Jdev is closing by itself giving an error.
Can anyone please help me how to create Entity objects for tables using TimesTen as database.I might be missing some jars or the way I am creating connection might be wrong or any plugins required to connect to TimesTen.

What is the actual error being given by Jdev? Are you sure that the JDBC connection is using the TimesTen JDBC driver JAR and not some other JDBC driver or the Generic JDBC/ODBC bridge?
Is ADF even supported with TimesTen?

How to set the Data Synchronisation mode for ADF BC component?

Hi All,
How to set the Data Synchronisation mode for ADF BC component
Thanks
Raghavendra

Can you clarify what you mean by the data synchronization mode?
If you mean the Sync Mode, then in 10.1.3 you set this property by:
1. Selecting your DataBindings.cpx file
2. Expanding the "Data Control Usages" section in the structure window
3. Selecting the ADFBC-based data control
4. Setting the "syncMode" property in the property inspector.

Create dynamic ID for component / component names in portlet

Hi,
I developed a JSF and IBM Portal API based portlet which runs on Websphere Portal Server 5.0.2.2. Everything's fine, if I have just one instance of my portlet on the page. If I have more than one, problems arise...
This is due to the component IDs which are the same for each portlet instance. I blame IBMs Gerneric faces portlet for this behavoir, but this doesn't solve my problem ;-)
So I need to create unique IDs for the components for each portlet instance on a page - which means at runtime.
I thought of a custom component which is generates a unique random ID. The final structure of a page (or JSF component tree) with multiple instances of my portlet should look like this
root
|
+ mycomponent id=3454         \
| +- form id=form1            | - Portlet instance A
|     +- input id=textinput1 /
|
+ mycomponent id=7656         \
   +- form id=form1            | - Portlet instance B
      +- input id=textinput1 / With this kind of component tree I could distinguish the form in portlet instance A and instance B (for A it would be 3454:form1 and for B 7656:form1)...
Because there's no real servlet or portlet-code which can be altered, the points to interfere are quite limited. As mentioned above, all general request handling and forwarding to JSPs is handled by the "generic faces portlet"...
The first point where my own code could be executed is in a custom component on the JSP or the "onPageLoad"-Event of hx:scriptcollector (which is an IBM extension to the standard JSF components).
Have you any suggestions or best practices how to solve this problem?
TIA,
ulkbold

Did you ever come up with a way to workaround this problem. This problem just bit me over the weekend.

Is there something specific in TP4 that you want to use TP4 - as John suggests, it might be an idea to use the full production release (11g). As for resources for information you can check out
[Jdev Home|http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev] this page contains links to the developers guides and various how tos etc etc. The follownig page is also useful and is focused more to those who are less familiar with Java

Error while using ADF map component

I am facing problem while using ADF map component to display geographical addresses on the map. Steps I have followed are as follows :
1. I have created a simple table with structure.
location_name varchar2(20),
longitude number(10),
latitude(10)
This table is having records for actual values.
2. I have created BC objects for accessing this table.
3. Then I have added this data control to the JSP page as a ADF map and point theme. Here I have specified map viewer URL as http://elocation.oracle.com/mapviewer/. I have binded values for longitude and latitude to the values from EO. I have specified point data value as location_name. No value is specified for category.
With this setup when I try to execute the page, it is throwing following error.
DVT-26007: Theme mapPointTheme1 cannot be displayed because data at row 0(rowId=0001000000055445535431) does not have value.
Can someone guide me on this please.....
Message was edited by:
user609092

Hi,
When we add point theme to the map, we specify the data control binding to this theme. This binding is done against the attribute names from the data control. I want to bind this theme input values to some variables. So that it can be changed at runtime. I think this can be done if we are able to use EL. So is it possible to achieve this? Could you please suggest me any other alternative way to achieve this.
Thanks,
Prashant

From my knowledge the ADF Faces Component demo should be deployable on the certified and supported version of Glassfish as it consists of ADF Essentials features only.
Anyone already succeeded with deployment of ADF Faces demo application on Glassfish?

Okay, so my problem was that the URL I was using was the OC4J launch url (http://host/applicationname and my welcome-file-list was
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>LoginPage.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
I tried these two variations
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>LoginPage.faces</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>faces/LoginPage.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
and neither of these worked either. (I did restart the OC4J node between each attempt.)
I finally created an index.html file for the application with an automatic refresh content="0;URL=faces/LoginPage.jsp" and this is working.
Should the welcome-file-list have worked? Am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks for the help. Mark
