Customize jspx pages through Oracle WebCenter Task Flows Customization

Hi....
I am customizing Oracle WebCenter Task Flows through JDeveloper in customization mode, I am able to customize jsff pages but I can't customize any jspx page.
Please help me out how can I achieve this?
Thanks.

Hi.
Customization usually is a challenge for developers. You can change look & feel and modify information showed.
Usually decompile and see how is printing the information can be a tip to add more information or call custom manage beans for add more functionalities.
There are few links that can help you:

How to create a page-definition for bounded task-flow?

I should be able to create a page definition which declare all bindings required for a bounded task flow.
How do I do it in JDeveloper 11.1.1.2?
How do I navigate to the page definition when I am in the bounded task flow "Diagram tab"?

I found out the following:
1. To create a page-definition file for a bounded task flow
Right click on the "Default" activity (not a view activity) of the bounded task flow, select "Create Page Definition" from the context menu.
2. To go the page-definition file for a bounded task flow
Right click on the "Default" activity (not a view activity) of the bounded task flow, select "Go to Page Definition" from the context menu.
My new question is:
In JDeveloper 11.1.1.2, how do I create page-definition for a bounded-task-flow if all activities are view activities (page fragments) ?
How does JDeveloper I want to create page-definition for the task-flow instead of create page-definition of the page fragment or the page?

Oracle ADF task flow setup failing- deployment issue

Hi Experts,
We are facing issue while deploying the ADF taskflow to Oracle webcenter portal/application server.
We will need your help to get any pointers from your Oracle network to help resolve.
Details of issue are as below.
Please help ASAP.
Problem Statement: Issue in the ADF taskflow while it is deployed on Oracle Webcenter Portal/Application server (the ADF taskflow is fetching data from PL/SQL procedure using table/record objects as OUT parameter, which is running fine in Jdeveloper).
Problem Description:
From ADF task flow we are invoking a PL/SQL procedure, which is returning a PL/SQL objects as an OUT parameter, some of these objects are of TABLE TYPE and one of RECORD TYPE. We are invoking this oracle procedure and fetching the object using jdbc. The object to which we are mapping this PL/SQL object is a custom java type object. We are using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.4 and Oracle ADF for this and we are able to successfully fetch the object using the code snippet #1 attached below.
However, when we deploying the same code, i.e. the above ADF task flow in the Webcenter Portal server 11.1.1.4, inside the Webcenter portal application, it doesn’t work and give the below error, error snippet #2 below.
Options tried: Initially we were using oracle.sql.STRUCT to handle the PL/SQL object, we tried changing this to weblogic.jdbc.wrapper.Struct and also java.sql.Struct, however we are still getting same error.
The objective is to get the data from PL/SQL procedure in objects (record, table) as OUT parameters in ADF taskflow deployed on Oracle webcenter portal/application server.

Call a jsff page in an bounded task flow.

Hi,
Am using jdeveloper 11.1.1.6.0
I have a bounded task flow named welcomeTF.xml which calls another bounded task flow named LeadsTF. The LeadsTF bounded task flow contains 3 jsff pages(named lv.jsff, lv1.jsff, lv2.jsff).
WelcomeTF(Bounded TaskFlow)------------------------------------>LeadsTF(Bounded Task Flow).
When my user runs the jspx page the Welcome page(from WelcomeTF) renders which has 3 buttons (named Button1,Button2,Button3). These 3 buttons should call the LeadsTF Bounded task flow but with different jsff pages.
Button1 -------------------------------> LeadsTF(lv.jsff)
Button2 -------------------------------> LeadsTF(lv1.jsff)
Button3 -------------------------------> LeadsTF(lv2.jsff)
How can i achieve this? Please help me with the samples.
Regards,
Prasad K T.

You can define a TF parameter for the LeadsTF and use this parameter to route the navigation to either lv.jsff, lv1.jsff or lv2.jsff when entering this TF:
Add a TF parameter (e.g. call it "InitialTarget" and map it to #{pageFlowScope.initialTarget})
Add an ADF Router activity as a default activity in LeadsTF
Configure the router activity to navigate to the appropriate JSF fragment depending on the value of #{pageFlowScope.initalTarget}
Make the buttons in the parent TF set different values of the TF parameter when calling the LeadsTF

Best way to refresh page after returning from task flow?

Hello -
(Using jdev 11g release 1)
What is the best way to refresh data in a page after navigating to and returning from a task flow with an isolated data control scope where that data is changed and commited to the database?
I have 2 bounded task flows: list-records-tf and edit-record-tf
Both use page fragments
list-records-tf has a list.jsff fragment and a task flow call to edit-record-tf
The list.jsff page has a table of records that a user can click on and a button which, when pressed, will pass control to the edit-record-tf call. (There are also set property listeners on the button to set values in the request that are used as parameters to edit-record-tf.)
The edit-record-tf always begins a new transaction and does not share data controls with the calling task flow. It consists of an application module call to set up the model according to the parameters passed in (edit record X or create new record Y or...etc.), a page fragment with a form to allow users to edit the record, and 2 different task flow returns for saving/cancelling the transaction.
Back to the question - when I change a record in the edit page, the changes do not show up on the list page until I requery the data set. What is the best way to get the list page to refresh itself automatically upon return from the edit-record-tf?
(If I ran the edit task flow in a popup dialog I could just use the return listener on the command component that launched the popup. But I don't want to run this in a dialog.)
Thank you for reading my question.

What if you have the bean which has refresh method as TF param? Call that method after you save the data. or use contextual event.

Submitted content via UCM not showing up (blank page) in Oracle Webcenter

Hi All,
Once in a while (1/10, recently more and more), when users in our system Database Version:10.2.0.3.0 ---Oracle Database 10g Enterprise - UCM/Webcenter uploads new content via UCM or updating an existing content, they experience a blank page on the corresponding Webcenter page, i.e. all metadata on that content page in Webcenter appears to be blank.
In UCM the content metadata and all downloads are uploaded successfully. Our workaround is to enter the content via UCM and submit it without any changes to its metadata fields (blank submit). Sometimes, it takes more then one blank submit.
Another problem that might be related to this is downloads related items of the parent record on the content getting zero size length on Webcenter. Again, our workaround for this is to blank submit the related items via UCM, or re-upload these downloads via UCM so they be downloadable in Webcenter side.
If more info needed for this please let me know.
Please provide your input.
Thanks,
Alex.

I probably didn't explain myself. We have two UCM instances: contribution and consumption. UCM contribution instance used to submit/update new/existing contents. These content aren’t available immediately on the Oracle Webcenter, instead, these contents replicated to the UCM consumption instance and available from there to Oracle Webcenter.
We never update/create new content via UCM consumption.
So, if for instance I've updated content xyz on UCM contribution, these changes are replicated to UCM consumption and then Oracle Webcenter can retrieve the info from content xyz and present this corresponding page.
I think the issue with blank pages (metadata fields - HCSP forms) or zero size download files has something to do with replication between UCM instances.
To fix this issue, we just submitting (blank submit - without changing any field) the form via UCM contribution instance, or we have to upload the same file again for it to replicate.

How to create portlet pages in oracle webcenter 11g?

Hi all,
currently we are using an application with oracle web portal 10g server. Is it possible to do migration all portlet pages 10g portal to 11g webcenter ?
and please clarify how to create a portlet page in webcenter 11g?
Regards
Nagarajan

Hi Nagarajan,
In webcenter there is no concept of portlets.Here you need to have all the portlets as WSRP.
So in a jist, you need to expose your current portlets as WSRP and the same should be consumed in webcenter portal pages.
Hope this make things clear.

How i can print jspx page in oracle adf 10g ?

How to add many bounded task flow just on one only .jspx page?

Dear all
I will explain you what I do and What I want to do.
I created one jsf page template called "baseTemplate". It contains only one panelSpliter with horizontal layout . In the first face I created 10 commandLinks as a menu. the second facet contains the facet ref.
My task is now to create 10 task flows.
What i do is:
1- create bounded task flow name it "taskFlow1" and add all the views and page navigations that I want.
2- double click the views and create them as page fragment and design the layout.
3- create .jspx page name "task1.jpx" based on "baseTemplate".
4- dragging and dropping "taskFlow1" into "task1.jspx" as a region
5- repeating steps from 1 to 4 with "task2.jspx" till "task10.jspx"
in this way i created 10 "jspx" pages for each task flow
What i want to do is:
I want to create just one and only one ".jspx" page and drag all task flows on it. And when clicking on any command link from the menu , the corresponding task flow is invoke.
Is this a way to do this.
Thank you in advance.

of course, there is.simply in the unbounded Task flow drag your task flow as task flow call and specify the outcome, and make the action of your command link
the outcome you specify, of course you will navigate to the default activity of the bounded task flow also you could open your task flow as lightweight dialog
as frank do in his example

Passing Parameters to Bounded Task Flow from JSPX

Hi All,
1. Created a JSPX page using UIShell template. This page contains 4 UI Components (InputComboBoxListOfValues) in SingleObjectContextArea. Created a Managed Bean for this page and capture the selected value in ValueChangeListner and added the value to pageFlowScope.
2. Created Unbounded Task Flow, dragged the JSPX page.
3. Have a existing Bounded Task Flow with page fragments, it has MethodCall activity which is expecting inputParameter values from JSPX.
4. To call the Bounded Task Flow from Unbounded Task Flow (has JSPX page) created 2nd JSPX page using UIShell template.
5. Dragged the existing Bounded Task Flow into 2nd JSPX page, in context menu selected Region. This Region is created in SingleObjectContextArea of UIShell.
6. When dragged its asking about inputParameter mapping of Bound Task Flow.
7. Configured the inputParameter value which are coming from pageFlowScope.
8. Dragged the controlFlow from 1st JSPX to 2nd JSPX page to complete the Navigation.
9. When running the Unbounded Task Flow, it showing 1st JSPX with LOV.
10. Selected the values and clicked on Submit Action.
11. Its now showing 2nd JSPX which contains Bounded Task Flow.
12. But its displaying empty records table. (Note: I am passing parameters to MethodCall inputParameters as pageFlowScope, My DB has displaying records based on inputParameters when tested it from OrcleSQLDeveloper)
Could any body help me on this issue.
My Code Snippets of Data Binding of 2nd JSPX page which has Bound Task Flow as a regionModel.:
<taskFlow id="TaskFlow1"
              taskFlowId="/WEB-INF/oracle/apps/TaskFlow1.xml#TaskFlow1"
              activation="deferred"
              xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/controller/binding">
      <parameters>
        <parameter id="PartnerKeyType" value="#{pageFlowScope.PartnerKeyType}"/>
        <parameter id="PartnerKey1" value="#{pageFlowScope.PartnerKey1}"/>
        <parameter id="InteractionPartnerRole"
                   value="#{pageFlowScope.InteractionPartnerRole}"/>
        <parameter id="BusinessProcessName"
                   value="#{pageFlowScope.BusinessProcessName}"/>
      </parameters>

Hi
first of all Can you get the pageFlow scope variable in taskflow?which you are passing from jspx page?
if you are able to get the Lov value in Taskflow try refresh taskflow on changing the LOV.
you need to add input parameter type as boolean,change the parameter from false to true when the LOV value changed.
now use refreshifNeeded property in pagedef bindings file

Secure page unbounded task flow

i need to secure access to jspx pages in a unbounded task flow. what is the best way to achieve this using jdev 11.1.15 ?
as of now any user is able to access any jspx pages by typing a URL after logging in.
Edited by: 963798 on Dec 17, 2012 4:06 AM

You can't stop users from accessing pages defined in the unbounded taskflow as, by design, all pages in an unbounded taskflow are accessible from anywhere in you application. So all you can do is add the pages you want to secure to bounded taskflows, add resource grants to the taskflow (remove them for the actual pages/jspx), configure the taskflows so they cannot be invoked from a url and add the taskflows to the unbounded taskflow (just drag and drop them to the unbounded taskflow or change you view activity to a taskflow call). Hope this helps.

ADF Task Flow based on HumanTask - Region withiin Task form

Hello All,
Was wondering if anybody here has sucessfully used region in their human task forms? I really like the idea of regions and after going through the tutorial here* I tired to implement it.
Following are some additional details of the issue I'm facing.
I have created a UI project based on a human task. The main <human task>_taskFlow.xml is bounded and non-fragmented. I then dropped 'view' component within this task flow and create a blank jspx page underneath. I then dragged and droped another bounded and fragmented task flow (which is also a train) on to this jspx page. The 2nd task flow has some jsff pages in a train. When I deploy run this bpm project,I can't see train form within the region and I get following Null Pointer Exception on the server:
java.lang.NullPointerException
     at oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.renderkit.rich.FormRenderer.encodeAll(FormRenderer.java:233)
     at oracle.adf.view.rich.render.RichRenderer.encodeAll(RichRenderer.java:1396)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Update: After struggling with it almost whole day, I recreated the UI project and the problem has gone away.

Hi,
My use case is to close the child task flow and navigate back to main task flow. This should be done through homePage.jspx(whch contains main task flow).
What i have done:
Having page template which has logout and home page links. Use this template to create homePage.jspx, Next drag the main task flow to create a region inside the homePage.jspx.
