Creator2 component state question

I am new to JSF and Creator. I am using a page fragment for navigation on all pages of my site. The page fragment contains a tabset, with sub-tabs. I would like the tab set to maintain its state (which tab is highlighted) between pages. I cannot get this to work. Is this possible with JSF and Creator and if so how? Thanks.

MXML Component State Question

Hey guys,
I am trying to simplify my code and break out different parts of the app into different MXML Component files. I have taken my login info and created the LoginScreen.mxml file which calls the doLogin function in its (parent) mxml file FlexCMS. It properly sets the state to 'LoggedIn' but then the LoginScreen.mxml file doesnt hide...
Any ideas?

<s:states>
          <s:State name="Login" />
          <s:State name="LoggedIn" />

public function doLogin($username:String, $password:String):void {
                    loginResult.token = customUserClass.login($username, $password);
               protected function loginResultEvent(event:ResultEvent):void {
                    //Alert.show(event.result.toString(), 'loginResult');
                    trace(event.result.toString());
                    if (event.result == true) {
                         currentState = 'LoggedIn';
                    trace('currentState: ' + currentState);

I did something similar in the past for a few of my apps.
The login screen was a custom TitleWindow component that contained the normal username field, password field and login button and could communicate with the server for authentication purposes. If the authentication was successful then I'd call the PopUpManager's removePopUp method on the login window and change the current state to the authenticated state.

Cairngorm 3 - Best practice for component states

Hi,
I have here small question.
I have some component states (eq: application state, some component states, atp.) in my Application.
I'm not sure if is best practise to save component states in Presentation Models, they hold current state only. So, i create ApplicationState class, which holding all possible application states. And here is my problem, i'm not sure, where should be this "State" class stored. In application directory or create another "states" directory name ?
Well, i'm not sure.
Thx.

Using a different default component state within each page state

I am using a custom component in multiple page states but would like to have a different default state (for the same custom component) within each page state.
Is there anyway to use a different default component state within each page state .
When I change the default state at a component level it seems to go across all my page states. Any solutions?
Thank you

I guess I can just add that interaction for that component!
I think my brain is just catching up

Issues with interactivity between component states and page states

Hi there, I recently downloaded the trial of Catalyst 5.5 and am encountering the following problem:-
I have many screens in my application and am attempting to get around the 20 state limit by creating custom components that contain multiple states that can be used as screens. So, I have created button links between the component states which work fine but have also created button links to and from the standard states of the application, which dont work upon running/publishing. I'm not quite sure whats wrong here as the button commands are pointing to the right place, i.e. they are pointing firstly to the specific custom component and then the state within the component, but its just not working.
Is this a trial issue or something deeper?
I really hope someone can help as apart from this issue I have been very happy with the application but if I can not find a solution theres no point in purchasing it.
Cheers.

Ive had the same problem. Im trying to create an interactive e-book but im having problmes with the limit of states. I have now worked out that i have to create custom components to create a sub-state but im finding it difficult to go between sub states. Help anyone?

SkinState vs. component state

I wrote some Gumbo prototypes recently and found it confusing that skinStates are independent of component states (currentState). I tried to imagine scenario when host component state should be different than its skin state but I cant find any.
I have found that component states are used in item renderes, which in my opinion violates of skinning concept (see ARB http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Gumbo+Updated+Item+Renderer )
What do you think about syncing surrentState with skinState?
In such a case it would be easier for developer to migrate from MXML inline item renderer to fully skinnable one as states of both, inline MXML component and MXML skin, will be the same.

You write your state implementations the same way. SkinStates is just a formal mechanism for saying that your skin should support those states.   But since your skin is just like an MXML component, what you end up writing is the same. For your application components you’re simply declaring them to meet “business” rules, while in skins you’re doing it more for interaction rules.

I have used skin states and thought it was the new way of using states. I was not aware that the 'old' component states are still available and can be used. Some examples on using both would probably help understand how both state types can be used together. I'll see if I can find some interesting use cases.

We had them coupled originally. Surprisingly, if you’ve written a Spark app, you’ve already run into this. Any time you use a skinned spark component as the root tag of your MXML file (including FxApplication), and add your own states, you’re creating component states that are separate from any skin states.

I'm trying to think of use cases where the internal state of the component may
be detached from the showing of that state, and I've come up with one:
Suppose a component has two skin states - OK and FAIL, and it has to call an
external service to check something to computer the state (i.e. state
transitions are asynchronous). There might be OK, UNKNOWN and FAIL states,
but only two skins (UNKNOWN being the same as FAIL).

Flex4 : Component state vs skin state

Hello,
I still can't quite figure the difference between the two ( if there is even a difference )
component state : Defined by UIComponent's current state
skin state : Determined by SkinnableComponent->getCurrentSkinState.
Now, when should one use these 2 different mechanisms ?
My first thought was that skin state was used for small variations ( selected effects, small controls appearing, etc ) and that component state was more for application state, like a view representing a form would change drammatically if currentState became FORM_BEING_SUBMITTED. But a skin could very well be applied to a huge and complex view so this reasonning fails.
-> Another interpretation is that you would use a skin only if flexibility is required, or else just use the old component state mechanism.
Is that correct?

Hi,
It can be a bit confusing, no worries. Not sure if this will help but here goes...
A Flex 4 "skin" is itself a component - e.g. Skin is derived from UIComponent and as such supports view states. So when you see the term 'skin state' all it really means is that it is the 'currentState' of the Flex 4 skin. The 'currentState' of a Skin is controlled automatically by the SkinnableComponent the skin is associated with (based on what getCurrentSkinState returns at a given point in time).
There really is no functional difference between how view states work for a Flex 4 Skin vs. how they work for say any other MXML component (like Application) - other than who is responsible for changing the state over time. It's just that in the case of Application where (as in your example) you may define 3 different orientations of your application for example - you'd be responsible for setting currentState when appropriate.
The one thing to remember (and I'm sure is the reason for most folk's confusion) is that for a SkinnableComponent instance, there really aren't any "states" for the component itself - the 'currentState' and states array are unused in this case.
A simple example:
Button. The actual Button class has no states itself, but its Skin does. The Button is responsible for putting the Skin in one of the possible view states at runtime based on user interaction over time (e.g. up, over, down, disabled). e.g. getCurrentSkinState is called on Button and depending on what is returned, the Button will (behind the scenes) set 'currentState' of the Skin component to one of the 4 states.
Setting 'currentState' on a Button itself has no affect, because the Button has no actual states defined (as far as the states API is concerned), even though it happens to also be a UIComponent.

EX13 Server Component State for 'proxy' inactive

Hi All,
I've just ran a Get-ServerComponentState and its showing that all the 'proxy' components are Inactive, I have tried the Set-ServerComponentState but this doesn't help. Has anyone had this before by any chance or know a way to activate them?
Thanks,
R182

I haven't done so intentionally, how do I check this or revert the changes back so they're active again as I think this is causing connection issues.
Thanks!
R182
Run this:
$MM = Get-ServerComponentState -id EX13 -Component ServerWideOffline
$MM.localstates
...to check what requester that put the components in a Inactive state.
During an upgrade or Exchange security patch install - Exchange itself use the requester
Functional and if you see that in the output you get running the above, run:
Set-ServerComponentState -id SERVERNAME -Component ServerWideOffline -state Active -Requester Functional

How Do I Link to Custom Component States From Scrolling Content Buttons?

Hi there, I'm in need of some help as i've got a deadline to meet within the next few weeks and im stuck!
Basically what I've done is i've made a scrolling content lists, containing about 10 products in each one, my plan was to turn each product into a button so that users could click on that product, and take them to a new page containing more detailed information on that product; when they've finished looking at that product they can click a button to return them to the list they were on previously. However I can't just make a brand new state for each product as there is a limit to 20 states, and I will need around 50 of them.
So, from what i've read I will need to create custom components. the only trouble with doing this is that I can't link to the custom component on a different main timeline state (I dont get the option to link to the states of the custom component).
If i put the image of the detailed product into the scroll panel I am able to link to it, however, it's inside the scrolling content and it just scrolls around and stuff which isn't what I want; as it makes it look messy.
- Basically I just need to link from the buttons in the scrolling list, to a more detailed page for that product. Then be able to return to the list using a button.
If anybody has any input on how to achieve this, please help me out. Starting to panic now as this needs to be finished before september :s
Btw i'm happy to share my .fxp file it that helps.
Thanks alot, Hoping for some helpful replies on this topic
- Tom

Hi Tom,
Adding this back here to share my wireframe with the community.
Have put a quick .fxp together based on the 'product' section of your project.
Take a look at how the product lists are linking into the product detail pages within their custom components.
Using this model you should be able to expand out to infinite product detail states. If a particular product area has more than the maximum allowed states, just start a new custom component (part 2 for that product section).
Let me know if you have any questions. Hope this sets you on a path to getting your project complete. It's looking nice.

View State question - changing states and custom states

Hi all,
I'm working on an application that lets a user register for an event. Each event has associated child information: conferences, tickets, etc. associated with it. What I'm trying to do is create some sort of checkbox list so that, when a user clicks on an event to add it to his registration, the associated child information appears in the display so he can choose all this information at once. I have the list working and I've been trying to use a custom ItemRenderer to pop in the extra info for the user to select when he clicks on an event. The problem I'm having is that, when the user goes to click on a child to add it to his registration, my state is changing back from "selected" to "normal" and the child information disappears. So I guess I have two questions. One, am I even remotely on the right track here? If not, can someone suggest a better approach? Two, if this is the right approach, how do I solve the "disappearing child" problem? I tried creating a custom state that would set everything to visible, but I can't seem to figure out how to get into it...I tried just putting a click event on it and just doing an Alert.show(currentState) to see if I was even getting into my custom state, but I just kept switching between "normal" and "selected."
Code:

ADF 11g - persist users component state to database - af:panelCollection

Hi all
We have a case where we require the state of a component, an af:panelCollection in this instance, to be saved to the database for each user of the application. This data is then retrieved upon application startup when it will be used to set the initial state of the af:panelCollection.
The logic to achieve the above is outlined in the following post:
http://technology.amis.nl/blog/4595/adf-11g-persisted-run-time-user-ui-personalization-or-impatient-mans-mds
We have used the above resource to implement the manipulation of the af:panelCollection accordingly but we now wish to persist this data to the database, it is currently hard coded.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Regards
Tony

Hi,
the next release of JDeveloper 11g (planned for summer) provides MDS, which helps you with a repository based approach for end user personalization. I think that if you can wait then it makes sense to do so instead of implementing functionality on your own that sooner or later you find in the product.
If you can't wait then all you can do is to setup listeners that detect changes (attribute listener work in many cases) and persist the information for the page, component ID and user

SQL statement question

I'm trying compare two table in Oracle and with a firstname and
lastname
matches fill-in a pager pin number.
This is the sql statement I'm running
update addressbook2 set pin =
(select pin from phonebook where
phonebook.firstname=addressbook2.firstname
and
phonebook.lastname=addressbook2.lastname)
where addressbook2.firstname IN (select firstname from phonebook)
and addressbook2.lastname IN (select lastname from phonebook)
but I get an error message saying:
ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row
My question is can I update the table even when there are
duplicates in the tables. The query runs perfect when both
tables are unique.
Thank you for any help.

I presume you are trying to update the pin of only those people
in the addressbook table that also exist in the phonebook table.
The following will work:
update addressbook a
set a.pin = (
select f.pin from phonebook f
where f.fname = a.fname
and f.lname = a.lname
ie remove the last two lines from your DML statement.. be aware
that you are using a denormalised design (pin is not normalised
on the primary key) and the use of first and last names as a
method of identifying people is not a good idea (does 'smith' =
'smyth'?)

Access 2003: sql statement question

Dear all,
i'm trying to get the following code to work without success:
String com = "SELECT Instrument.Index FROM Instrument WHERE Instrument.NextCalDate < #5/24/2007#";
s.execute(com);
I get the following error: Error: java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Instrument.NextCalDate < #5/24/2007#'.
It is because of the <. If i change the < by an = it works fine. The annoying thing is that i've been browsing the forum and some date related questions regarding java/access were explained by giving example code that had the exact same syntax as the code i'm using, so with the use of the < character without using escape characters or whatever. These postings however date from 2004 or something, so what has changed?
I'm using latest JDK, Access 2003 and am connecting via ODBC running on an XP Pro machine.
Help is very much appreciated. Thanks from The Netherlands

I suspect one thing that changed was that those other examples were using a previous version of MS Access.
Other than that I can only suggest that you use a prepared statement rather than attempting to the MS Access specific syntax.

Order of execution of static { } statements question

Hi,
I have a question about the order of execution of static statements. Let's imagine the following Class B inheriting of Class A:
public class A {
    static { // My static code for A };
public class B extends A {
    static { // My static code for B; };
}I know that static statements are executed when classes are loaded, but does Java guarantee an order of execution of static statements between inherited classed (like for constructors) or is it 'random' in that it depends which class is loaded first?
Thanks,
J.

Jrm,
My advise with this and all such questions is "Suck it and see"...
Have compiler, will travail ;-)
