Creating new JSF2 pages from a running Servlet (3.0) or JSF2 page?

I'm new to JEE6 web apps with JSF 2.x frontends (GlassFish 3), and I still wasn't able to find a solution for this dynamic JSF 2.x problem:
*From inside a running JSF 2.x web app (Servlet 3.0), which possibilities (if any) do I have to dynamically add generated JSF pages (whole new .xhtml files) to specific folders of the (exploded) document root, so that these pages can be dispatched to the client like any traditional, statically-deployed one?*
Background: An app for "promoting" authors/editors (content providers) which has these few main requirements:
<ol>
<li>New providers will register under <tt>www.acme.com/app/register.xhtml</tt>.</li>
<li>The system will grant each provider "sub-domain" associated with web space under
<tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX</tt> where providerX is an arbitrary sub-domain name chosen by the provider during the registration.</li>
<li>Each provider will initially have some pre-defined pages in their document context root, e.g.
<tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/index.xhtml</tt>, <tt>about-me.xhtml</tt>, <tt>contact.xhtml</tt>, etc.</li>
<li>Each provider will have an administration console for managing 2 tasks:
<ul>
<li type="a"><tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/admin/page-manager.xhtml</tt> </li>
<li type="a"><tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/admin/customer-manager.xhtml</tt></li>
</ul>
to specify new pages with offers, publish these pages in their document context root, e.g. <tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/my-services.xhtml</tt> (customized page name), and
to manage their readers/customers, respectively.
</li>
<li>Thus, each providerX will also have a pre-deployed customer registration page running, which creates standard customer accounts. E.g.:
<ul>
<li type="disc"><tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/customers/registration.xhtml</tt></li>
<li type="disc"><tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/customers/login.xhtml</tt></li>
<li type="disc"><tt>www.acme.com/app/providerX/customers/customer-account-dashboard.xhtml</tt></li>
</ul>
</li></ol>
Please note: I know that for such kind of systems a CMS would be more suitable, but is such a system -- here aiming at only basic functionality -- also realizable in pure JEE 6 technologies, i.e. w/o CMS???
The unclear main aspect is stated in my initial question above. Basically, I hope to get these clarifications:
<ol>
<li>Which app architecture designs can I use to deploy new generated JSF pages or servlets from within a running JSF page or servlet???</li>
<li>Supposing that all relevant page description data provided by a provider is stored in a db:
Where can I "cache" the new .xhtml pages generated from these data on-the-fly when (a) an exploded WAR, and (b) a packaged WAR is running???
The pages shall be "hooked" to the scope (doc root) of the respective provider and dispatches by the <tt>FacesServlet</tt> as such.</li>
</ol>
Due to the crucial importance in a current project, I'd really appreciate any constructive help very much.

How to store these dynamically created website pages from within the PageManagerServlet?
<ol><li type="a">Could I create a new exploded WAR structure in the filesystem (or elsewhere) when a new context is defined, and then store new .jsf/.xhtml files therein when a new page is defined, all this with usual file operations? -- Would this be enough, or...</li>

I guess both is possible, but for performance reasons, a pre-compile would be better. How can I achieve this?</li>
</ol>
Thank you a million for your help, Natalia.I only see mention of xhtml files - that is the easy part. But XHTML files don't actually do anything at all. What about classes like JSF managed beans? jar libraries? database connections and ORM/JPA support which also adds the complexity of having to deal with all the configuration descriptor files? Even if you can automatically deploy all that, replacing existing classes and reloading them is a whole different matter.
My "expert" opinion: this cannot be done with JSF. In fact the only Java web framework which I can think of that has any chance of making something like this possible is Play framework. I'd really take the road that EJP took: make the content dynamic, not the webapp.

FM FOR CREATING NEW CONDITION RECORDS FROM INPUT FILE

Hello vikas,
I need to develop a interface program FOR CREATING NEW CONDITION RECORDS FROM INPUT FILE.
Is there ay function module to update or create the condtion records,
if u have any example interface program to update conditions records please send me.

This must be your compiler output.
Basically, it is telling you two things that are wrong - in syntax.
1. On line number 11 of the file RationalCollection1.java, the compiler expects a type identifier - that would be the object or return type such as int, String, boolean, etc.
The reason it is doing this is probably due to your not ending a previous statement - like the "expected ';'" error statement. Check your code, make sure that methods (brackets) are closed correctly and there are no open statements (i.e. missing the semi-colen at the end).
2. On line number 33 of the file RationalCollection1.java, the compiler expected the closing bracket. Thus, you didn't put the bracket where the compiler wants it.
It appears that you have skipped some lines of code. Those lines are the problem, post them - post lines 30-36 and 9-15 so we can see what is happening around those error lines.

One or more menu widgets within your site have become out-of-sync with the structure of your site in Plan view. If you send us the file we can repair and return it. Or you could delete and recreate the menu widgets.
Please send us the .muse file at [email protected] along with a link to this thread. If the file is larger than 20Mb you can use a service like Adobe SendNow, Dropbox, WeTransfer, etc. (If you use a service, please include your return e-mail address in the body of the message, since not all services include it in the sharing invite they send.)

Finder - Create new files directly from a folder using finder ?

In Finder, is there a way to do a right-click in a folder and create a new file like: New Text File or New Document from that location?
I used to do this oftenly in Windows (right click, New Word document) but I have not found it in Mac OS X, any work around ?
Thanks

Try the [Apple feedback page|http://www.apple.com/feedback>. However, note that this is unlikely to be added. It would be a very cumbersome feature.
On Windows, you're almost guaranteed to be tied to a particular set of document creation tools. If you're using an office suite other than MS Office, you're so weird you might as well be using a Mac! This means that commands like "New Document" make sense there.
On a Mac, a "document" could be created with MS Word, Pages, TextEdit, NeoOffice, OpenOffice, Mellel, Nisus Writer Marinter Write, or any of a host of other programs. (Mac users tend to put less emphasis on the popular tool and prefer to use the tool that "fits the hand" best.) Further complicating things is the fact that "document" is a very generic term, since every spreadsheet is a document, every Photoshop file is a document, etc. The contextual menu would rapidly become unmanageable if it had to fill up with "New Whatever Document" commands for every app on your hard drive!
It is possible for you to add your own custom services to the contextual menu using AppleScript or Automator, and you should be able to create services to create new documents for the apps you use frequently. Check on the [AppleScript forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=724] for guidance on how to do this.

HELP!? Remove 1 page from long document and shift all the rest pages

Hello,
I am facing to following problem:
I have a long document with facing pages. Now I need to remove one left page in the middle of the document and shift all the rest pages one step forward. It means from all right pages do a left and vice versa (started from the page that was removed). There is a continous text int the whole document and left/right strip made from different photos.
To clarify the situation I am attaching the preview. I have deleted page no.12 and I need to shift page 13 to left, 14 to right after 13, 15 to left, 16 to right after 15 and so on....
Is there any simple way how to do it?
Thank you very much for any tips.

It looks to me as if you may something else going on here. Are you using right-to-left text here so the document binding would be onthe right when the book is closed? If not, your problem is not with page 13 so much as it is with the earlier pages.
Unless you force it to do otherwise by disabling page shuffling someplace, in left-to-right documents using facing pages ID will always put odd numbered pages to the right of the spine and even to the left, the opposite for right-to-left documents. In either case, it seems like you have page shuffling disabled either for the whole file or for a selected spread. You can re-enable it from the menu in the Pages panel. When ID asks if you want to maintain the current number of pages on a spread you should probably say no. Either pages 1-12 will swtch sides, or 13 and following will, and your spreads will rearrange to put two pages together as they should be.
If you have overridden master page objects, a side effect of switching sides on the spread will be that the overridden objects will remain and the new master objects from the other side of the spread will appear behind them.

Automatically create new Excel file from template using data from a selected row in a separate Excel file

I am fairly new to Macro and VBA in Excel. I am trying to reduce the amount of work involved in a task that is performed often in our office. Currently, the task involves using 2 separate Excel files. One file is a tracking sheet and the second is the document
that gets sent out to the client. The second document has all the same information that is inserted into the tracking sheet. What I would like to do is have the information that is in one row on the tracking sheet populate into a new excel file that is created
automatically from an existing template.
I have been able to make this partially work. What I have been able to achieve is have the cell that is selected in the tracking sheet (the description field) copy into the new file that is created from the template that is on our server.
Sub NewRFI()
' NewRFI Macro
MsgBox Selection.Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlA1, _
RowAbsolute:=False, ColumnAbsolute:=False)
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Add Template:= _
"template file path goes here"
Range("C14").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False
Range("C14").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
What I need to do is get the rest of the information from that same row in the tracking sheet to copy to the new file as well. The other information includes the document number (one cell to the left of the selected cell), who it is from (one cell to the
right of the selected cell), and the date (two cells to the right of the selected cell). As stated, this information is all in the same row on the tracking sheet. Each piece of information needs to be copied to a certain cell in the new file and I do not want
the source formatting to be copied to the new file.
Ideally, I would like it to operate like so: select the first cell in the row (in this case would be the document number field). Then click a button to run the macro that will then copy the information from that row in the tracking sheet to specific cells
in the new file that is created from the template.
This process will save us from having to either manually copy and paste the information into the new file or re-type the same information that is already in the tracking sheet.
This is probably a simple thing to do but it would be great if anybody had some insight on this issue. Thanks in advance!

Try code like the following. You will have to change the target cells (D25, F1 and H4) to the ones you want, I just used some arbitrary cells as example.
Sub NewRFI()
Dim rngCell As Range
Set rngCell = ActiveCell
MsgBox Selection.Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlA1, _
RowAbsolute:=False, ColumnAbsolute:=False)
Workbooks.Add Template:="template file path goes here"
Range("C14").Value = rngCell.Value
' Change the target cells as needed
Range("D25").Value = rngCell.Offset(0, -1).Value
Range("F1").Value = rngCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
Range("H4").Value = rngCell.Offset(0, 2).Value
End Sub

Create new iCal event from contents of mail uses wrong date

I received an email today with an appointment using the date "6/3/2010 at 4PM". Being from the US, it is obvious to me that this meeting should occur on June 3, 2010, but when I attempt to create a new iCal event with this date it creates the event on March 6, 2010. Even more confusing is that when I choose "Show this date in iCal" it highlights March 7, 2010!
My question is:
Shouldn't the system default to a month/day/year date preference everywhere when I've selected US English in the internationalization preferences pane?

have a very similar question: is there somewhere an application where I can, when receiving an email, put it into iCal so that I am reminded about it in a week or something?

Creating new PDF's from the input of a form

I posted a similar message to this one about 3 months ago. I had to work on other projects and also learn more about the process to make this happen. In a nutshell, here's what I'm trying to accomplish:
User downloads form from our website and fills it in. (dynamic form is complete)
User clicks "Submit Form" button on form and XML data is sent to our server. (I'm currently learning about MySQL and PHP, not my forte)
PHP script on server receives XML and adds input (field data) to database.
Once that data has been input, another (or the same) PHP script will pull that data from the database and populate a pre-formatted PDF with it.
Finally, the new PDF will be sent back to the user as an attachment to an email.
Does this sound like the way it should be done? If so, could someone with experience in doing this provide me with a rough sketch of the sorts of necessary components that will come into play so that I can create a list of things to learn? At this point, what I DO know is that the form will submit its information in XML format and be read by a PHP script. That's about it.
Thanks!
Graham

If it satisfies the requirements then it makes sense. ;^)
I have not done PHP development but I am guessing you will need at least:
1) a PDF library for PHP to do data import/export
2) an XML library for parsing http://www.php.net/manual/en/refs.xml.php
3) and a MySQL database driver http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php-mysqlnd/

Create new BPS documents from "COPY DOCUMENTS" user exit.

Hi Gerd,
thank you so much for your reply.
I'm continuing other thread here. (Copy "document icon" to new sheet from "SEM-BPS 1" sheet)
 We've a layout that doesn't use macros. 
We'd like to attach a document for each line that is entered on this layout. All the document attribute characteristics are included in this layout.
Document contents & technical name can be any thing.
Should I be able to do this?
This ensures that users be able to edit documents on other layouts which is crucial.
I tested this For couple of lines and I was successful.
Before I'd like to start implementing this, I appreciate your inputs on the prcoess that I follow if this is an effective way of doing?
Any concerns from the performance side?
any other hidden issues/concerns that you might be familiar with?
1) I'm reading all document attribute characteristic values of the layout new lines from the user exit.
2) I've created one variable for each "document attribute characteristic"
3) I've created "COPY DOCUMENTS planning function" and included variables in the parameter group
4) user exit in step 1 fills all variables (fills only 1 value at a time) & passes to "COPY DOCUMENTS parameter group"
4) due to restriction of only single entry variables usage in
"COPY plannig funciton", I'm using "API_SEMBPS_FUNCTION_EXECUTE" and executing "COPY DOCUMENTS planning funciton" as many times as number of new lines
5) if there are 6 new lines, user exit in step 1 loops 6 times & calls "API_SEMBPS_FUNCTION_EXECUTE" 6 times which inturn executes "COPY DOCUMENTS planning funciton" 6 times
Am I on the right & effective path?
Is there any better approach?
Appreciate your inputs

Hi,
This is one way you can do that. The bad side of your implementation is that the planning function is called 6 times. It would be better to copy the coding of the planning function and modify it in such a way that you can do all of the steps in one go. If the performance is all right I would still leave it the way it is as then you do not have to change to coding.
Best regards,
Gerd

Creating new business area from external database over dblink

Hi all,
I have the following configuration,
ORCL - Database containing the EUL
The EUL owner is BI_ADMIN.
ADG - Database containing the objects and data
There is a database link from ORCL to ADG using the username BI_ADMIN.
Steps to recreate problem
1. I connect to the EUL in ORCL
2. click on the "Create a new Business area" button
3. ensure that "on-line dictionary" is selected, then click on next.
4. select the appropriate db_link from drop-down list.
5. select user scott from list of users
6. click on optionss button, and "tick" public tables option. Then click OK button.
7. click next button
8. click on user scott in available box.
It is at this point that i have a problem, no objects in the scott schema are displayed for selection.
If i create a new user in database ADG ,along with a new object in newly created schema and i follow the steps 1 - 9 detailed above, substituting scott with
the new user i created, the object i created appears in the available box.
I would appreciate it if anybody can tell me what i'm doing wrong.
thanks
Mel

Hello
I'm wondering whether you might have a schema in the local database with the same name as the one you are trying to pull from across the database link. You will need to do a little workaround to get around this if this is your scenario.
I have a paper in my downloads area on my website: http://ascbi.com/downloads.htm that describes how to pull data definitions in across a database link. Take a look and let me know if this helps.
Best wishes
