Decode-method for custom component isn't called

Hi,
i have writen a custom component which gets some information by command-link. To make the data from the link accessible, i wrote a decode method in my renderer and in me component. But both method are not called from the faces framework.
Dows anybody knows what i made wrong???
Thanks, Sebastian

Hi,
thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately the processDecodes(...) of my component is also not called from the framework. Does anybody knows what i'm making wrong???
Thanks!

Hello TJK,
<b>FB012 Session 1 : Special character for 'empty field' is /</b>
This is the special function in LSMW, for empty field system will put / sign automatically, so you need not to worry about that.
<b>FB007 Session 1 session name ZPROJ was opened</b> It is opening session ZPROJ which is your project name/object name.
<b>FB109 Trans. 1 : Transaction xd01 is not supported</b>
Check out your field mapping and conversion rule for object.
<b>FB013 ....Editing was terminated</b>
It is not finding proper field mapping rule / file inputs so the sytem terminates the LSMW object.
Check your field mapping and conversion rule, check your source fields, save the file in tab delimited format.
Hope this helps.

Method in custom controller not getting called from view

Hi experts,
I have a very strange problem. My web dynpro application works fine on the development portal. i am in the process of deploying to the production portal there is no issue it deploys perfectly without any problems. However i have noticed that some methods in my custom controlller which are called from the view do not run. there is no error message or anything data just doesnt get picked because the execute function which fills the context are in the custom controller methods.
For some reason the method in the custom controller does not get called even though i'm calling it for the view. I have this problem with two methods. the other methods work without any issue.
Now i overwrote what i have on production at the moment so am stuck and in need for a solution.
I have tried undeplying, restarting and re-deploying to no avail. what could be wrong?
thanks and regards,
dilanke

This is the code. basically im calling it from the plug on the detail screen.
This is the method that doesnt get called anymore.

Using nullLayout for custom component

I am writing an AccordianPanel as a custom component that can be dropped into a JPanel and behave as expected. I am using a null layout in the outer container (JPanel) as the accordian dividers need to move as told and not be managed by a layout manager. When I resize a window or another container that the custom component sits in, it doesn't resize anything - I understand this is the behavior I would expect as that is how I coded it.
Now, I want to have the custom component resize its internal stuff when the container it resides in (i.e. JFrame or most likely another JPanel) gets moved, but I don't know how to do this. The outer most component in my custom components hierarchy is a JPanel whose layout is set to null and I stuff everything else inside there.
I believe I need to add a componentListener to my JPanel whose layout is set to null, but I am not sure. Could someone send me in the right direction.
thanks

the best approach might be to implement your own LayoutManager (which is simple enough) and use it rather than absolute positioning....
If you read postings in the forum you will find most people recommend using LayoutManagers and not a null layout so you don't have problems like this.Hello sarcommand , camickr, and anyone interested,
I've tried to bring this discussion up again just a few days ago, and was disappointed I got no feedback - must be a dull read :o(
Here is the [link to the thread|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10723670&#10723670], would you mind having an eye on it?
I'm sorry to hijack this thread (seems slightly less rude than bumping my own former thread up), but I've read several discussions on this subject too, and still I can't decide whether I should follow the CustomLayoutmanager track.
Although most of the writing there is specific to my current problem, it highlights 3 points I think are general enough:
- A custom layout (whatever the way it is implemented, I discuss 4 approaches in the thread) is generally used to display custom components, or at least, components that represent custom application-specific entities or input points. -> Is is worth the trouble to abstract the positioning logic when this "custom layout" has only one, at best two, use cases (a couple of specific screens in your specific app that represents your specific entities)?
- A custom (app-specific) layout manager is likely to require more knowledge about the things being layed out than the default min/max/pref sizes. In particular it may require to know data of the underlying model objects represented by the children components. How is that best designed? I tentatively think it's by way of custom Constraint classes which have to be abstract enough yet should be easily mapped from the app-specific data.
- The CustomLayoutManager integrates natively with regular graphical events (hiding, resizing,...), but how to integrate app-specific events (such as, when the underlying data change in such a way that should be reflected by a change in the layout, how/when to force the re-layout)?
Thank you for your help.

Excise invoice clearing method for customs

Hi Gurus
this is chandu , how to clear the excise invoice for imported materials is there any transactional code to plz tell me
Example: if suppose i'm importing a material from USA so how can i clear the customs duty to make a GR at my company plz help me in thios

Hi,
In Import procurement you hve separate pricing procedure, this you will assign to vendor.
Freight, Customs duties and others create as Planned delivery condition types. While defining the condition type you can define this option. Once you define in this way, while creating Purchase order against to tht condition type you can enter the vendor name(customs vendor).
For example Freight cost you hve to pay to C&F agent or FFAgent right ? In purchase order select the conditon type and click on details there you can enter the Vendor number. Like this do the same for custom duty condition types and enter customs vendor name.
In Invoice verification in MIRO select planned derivery costs then the system will show pop screen which contains the vendors entered against condition types. Select the required vendor (FFAgent for Freight charges, customs vendor for customs duties) and post the Invoice verification.
For material select Goods/Service items in MIRO, system by default it will take Imports vendor.
Before posting GR for import PO you hve to post the planned delivery costs in MIRO.
Hope its clear to you, still if u hve any questions let me know.
Flow is as follows.
1. create PO and enter the Customs vendor in condition types
2.Post customs duty in MIRO as planned delivery costs
3.MIGO
4.MIRO for Import vendor

Error after changing theme in xcelsius for custom component

Hi Experts,
I have created a custom datefield component with inputbinding. The component is working fine in xcelsius. but when I change theme/color scheme in xcelsius, while previewing, it throws me an error:
An error occured when loading the file. The SWF was not created. For more information contact the file creator or your system administrator.
This error comes only once and when I preview again, it works fine untill i change the theme/color scheme again in xcelsius.
Has anyone encountered such problem ?
Thanks

How obtain HttpServletRequest from the decode method of a component

in the ea3 imlementation there was a method:
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)context.getServletRequest();
the context.getServletRequest(); does not exist in the new implementation. Is there any way left to access the servlet request?

You found the right answer, but note that you'd have to cast the return value to HttpServletRequest in order to access any of the methods. Doing so would mean, for example, that your application will never be able to run in a portlet environment, where the underlying request object will be a PortletRequest instead.
Most of the interesting information from the request is available directly through calls on ExternalContext -- for example, you can get a Map of all the request parameters by calling getRequestParameterMap(). You should prefer such calls if they provide the information you need, and access the underlying request object directly only as a last resort.

GetContent method for custom provider

Can someone tell me the major resposibilities of the getContent method of a Custom Content provider? The only javadoc comments for this method is "This method has no effect.". That helps enormously! Thanks.

getContent should return a stringbuffer that contains the content for your channel (usually html).

Decode function not called for a custom component

I know this problem happened in the past - in the EA2, EA4 and I believe the beta version as well, but does anyone know if it has been solved for the release ?
In short - I'm working with the release, created a menuBar component and the decode method in the renderer is not called after I submit the page. In the past, there were rumors that this happened due to relative paths in the JSP (for js files, images, etc.).
Does anyone else have this problem ? or better , know how to solve it ?
Thanx,
Netta.

It's not that simple - The component is getting rendered, all the encode methods are called and the decode is called also , but only the first time the form is submitted.
I added this custom component to the guessNumber application, and I have a menuBar in the greeting.jsp that leads to the response.jsp and vice versa. it looks like this in the greeting.jsp page -

<t:MenuBar id="bar1" styleClass="myClass" >
<t:Menu id="menu1" name="menu1">
<t:Menu id="menu2" name="menu2">
<t:MenuItem id="item2_1" name="item2_1" action="/mytest/guess/response.jsp"/>
<t:MenuItem id="item2_2" name="item2_2" action="http://www.msn.com"/>
<t:Menu id="menu3" name="menu3">
<t:MenuItem id="item3_1" name="item3_1x" action="http://www.msn.com"/>
</t:Menu>
</t:Menu>
</t:Menu>
<t:MenuItem id="item3" name="item3" action="http://www.cnn.com"/>
</t:MenuBar>

In the response it looks like this -

<t:MenuBar id="bar2" styleClass="myClass" >
<t:MenuItem id="item3" name="item3" action="/mytest/guess/greeting.jsp"/>
</t:MenuBar>

and every time a menuItem is clicked on, the JS calls submit form.
Since the menus are rendered, I assume there's nothing wrong with the rendererType and any other renderer problem. Since the decode is called only once, I assume the right form is being submitted.
So, what can cause it to stop calling the decode ???
Could it be that becase I go directly to the page and not through the navigation rules ( I call window.open directly from the JS), it creates a problem ??
Please help, I've been wasting so much time on this !

Problem with inputText in my custom component

Hi, I have a custom dataTable component that I'm trying to get to work. It has to be a custom component because dataTable doesn't support rowspan, colspan, multi line headers, and a rendered attribute for rows. The problem is, that when I wrap the column tag inside my row tag then the method for the inputText tag never gets called in the UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES phase.
I'm starting to think that JSF doesn't support 2 levels of tags between the inputText and dataTable. I'm hoping that someone can tell me what I have wrong with my components.
Here is the JSP snippet.
<cjsf:rptTable>
     <cjsf:data id="dataTable1" value="#{allAuthUser.tableRows}" var="myTableRow1">
          <cjsf:row>
               <cjsf:col>
                    <h:inputText id="tableTestFld" value="#{myTableRow1.testFld}" size="5" maxlength="5"/>
               </cjsf:col>
          </cjsf:row>
     </cjsf:data>
</cjsf:rptTable>Here is what it renders. It looks to me like everything renders fine. So I'm guessing that there is something in a component that is causing JSF during the life cycle to not be able to process correctly.
<table>
     <tbody>
          <tr>
               <td><input id="tblmaintForm:body:dataTable1_0:tableTestFld" name="tblmaintForm:body:dataTable1_0:tableTestFld" type="text" value="" maxlength="5" size="5"/></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
               <td><input id="tblmaintForm:body:dataTable1_1:tableTestFld" name="tblmaintForm:body:dataTable1_1:tableTestFld" type="text" value="" maxlength="5" size="5"/></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
               <td><input id="tblmaintForm:body:dataTable1_2:tableTestFld" name="tblmaintForm:body:dataTable1_2:tableTestFld" type="text" value="" maxlength="5" size="5"/></td>
          </tr>
     </tbody>
</table>Note: If I leave off the row tag it renders the same way except of course the <tr> and </tr> tags are missing. If I do this, then the backing method for the inputText tag is called and everything works fine. Why doesn't it work with the row tag in place?
Here are the components:
public class UIRptTable extends UIComponentBase {
     public UIRptTable() {
          setRendererType("tblmaint.rptTableRenderer");
     public String getFamily() {
          return "javax.faces.Output";

Hi, Ray!
1) I was trying to put a button in the column header (for sorting) and I couldn't get that to work. That involved the >colhdr tag. I got that to work but I don't remember the fix. I'll look it up and reply back with that when I can.Dealing the first part of your trouble, you need NOT a custom component.
I have looked through the implementation of RepeaterRenderer, as you advised me, and found that the multi-header possibility is included in the implementation of dataTable control.
The code below is the part of source of repeater.jsp with only change:
<d:data_repeater>  <h:dataTable>
And it works fine.
<h:dataTable id="table"
binding="#{RepeaterBean.data}"
     rows="5"
value="#{RepeaterBean.customers}"
var="customer">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Customer List"/>               <!� First Header row -- >
</f:facet>
<h:column>
<%-- Visible checkbox for selection --%>
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox
id="checked"
binding="#{RepeaterBean.checked}"/>
<%-- Invisible checkbox for "created" flag --%>
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox
id="created"
binding="#{RepeaterBean.created}"
rendered="false"/>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Account Id"/>               <!�Second Header row -- >
</f:facet>
<h:inputText id="accountId"
binding="#{RepeaterBean.accountId}"
required="true"
size="6"
value="#{customer.accountId}">
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="accountId"/>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Customer Name"/>               <!�Second Header row -- >
</f:facet>
<h:inputText id="name"
required="true"
size="50"
value="#{customer.name}">
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="name"/>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">                    <!�Second Header row -- >
<h:outputText value="Symbol"/>
</f:facet>
<h:inputText id="symbol"
required="true"
size="6"
value="#{customer.symbol}">
<f:validateLength
maximum="6"
minimum="2"/>
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="symbol"/>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">                    <!�Second Header row -- >
<h:outputText value="Total Sales"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText id="totalSales"
value="#{customer.totalSales}">
<f:convertNumber
type="currency"/>
</h:outputText>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">                    <!�Second Header row -- >
<h:outputText value="Commands"/>
</f:facet>
<h:commandButton id="press"
action="#{RepeaterBean.press}"
immediate="true"
value="#{RepeaterBean.pressLabel}"
type="SUBMIT"/>
<h:commandLink id="click"
action="#{RepeaterBean.click}"
immediate="true">
<h:outputText
value="Click"/>
</h:commandLink>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
You may have a look at HTML source to prove that dataTable is already what you need:
<table id="myform:table">
<thead>
<tr><th colspan="6" scope="colgroup">Customer List</th></tr>
<tr>
<th scope="col"></th>
<th scope="col">Account Id</th>
<th scope="col">Customer Name</th>
<th scope="col">Symbol</th>
<th scope="col">Total Sales</th>
<th scope="col">Commands</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
2.) The second trouble is still unsettled as previously. Right now I have different task at my job, and I can�t continue investigation of this problem.
But when you find smth., please let me know. I�ll be very grateful.

States in a custom component

I am having a problem getting my states to view correctly from a custom component.
I call in the custom component that has states in it, and they do not view correctly.
Here is an example:
The states from my custom component:
<mx:states>
        <mx:State name="state1">
            <mx:RemoveChild target="{formitem3}"/>
            <mx:RemoveChild target="{hbox4}"/>
            <mx:RemoveChild target="{vbox1}"/>
            <mx:RemoveChild target="{panel24}"/>
            <mx:AddChild relativeTo="{hbox3}" position="before">
                <components:SensitivityValue2 variableString="Capital Cost Multiplier" unitsString="" close="currentState=''"/>
            </mx:AddChild>
            <mx:RemoveChild target="{button31}"/>
        </mx:State>
        <mx:State name="state2">
            <mx:RemoveChild target="{formitem3}"/>
            <mx:RemoveChild target="{hbox4}"/>
            <mx:RemoveChild target="{vbox1}"/>
            <mx:RemoveChild target="{panel24}"/>
            <mx:AddChild relativeTo="{hbox5}" position="before">
                <components:SensitivityValue2 variableString="Replacement Cost Multiplier" unitsString="" close="currentState=''"/>
            </mx:AddChild>
            <mx:RemoveChild target="{button1}"/>
        </mx:State>
and here is how I am calling in the custom component to my main application:
<components:MyCustomComp id="customComp" width="100%" height="100%" label="CustomComp"/>

when you switch to a state (by click a button) it should just move some icons down and
insert a panel.
And when you switch back it should just move everything back up and remove the panel.
What does happen is nothing, or an error, or it adds the panel to a strange location.

Trying to over write a FeildLable in ProfileRule-Using a custom component.

Hi,
I am trying to modify the Feild (Label) in a searchProfile - to a custom name.Since we are using UCM version 7.5 i may need to go for Custom Component to achive this.I am new to UCM Please through me some pointer to achive this.
If I am using 10gR3 the change is stright -I can use the option (Use Custom Label) while creating the Feild but this option is not available.
I am thinking if I can put a entry "xVendorAssetModelNo.dprFieldCaption=CustomLableModelNumber" in rule_vendorproductassetcustom.hda and do modification to use that.
Please advice the correct approch to achive this.
The reason for this requirement is
We are going to use a feild in two different profile.We want to use a different Lable in each profile.

Best strategy for variable aggregate custom component in dataTable

Hey group, I've got a question.
I'd like to write a custom component to display a series of editable Things in a datatable, but the structure of each Thing will vary depending on what type of Thing it is. So, some Things will display radio button groups (with each radio button selecting a small set of additional input elements, so we have a vertical array radio buttons and beside each radio button, a small number of additional input elements), some will display text-entry fields, and so on.
I'm wondering what the best strategy for tackling this sort of thing is. I'm sort of thinking I'll need to do something like dynamically add to the component tree in my custom component's encodeBegin(), and purge the extra (sub-) components in encodeEnd().
Decoding will be a bit of a challenge, maybe.
Or do I simply instantiate (via constructor calls, not createComponent()) the components I want and explicitly call their encode*() and decode() methods, without adding them to the view tree?
To add to the fun of all this, I'm only just learning Faces (having gone through the Dudney book, Mastering JSF, and writing some simpler custom components) and I don't have experience with anything other than plain vanilla JSP. (No EJB, no Struts, no Tapestry, no spiffy VisualDevStudioWysiwyg++ [bah humbug, I'm an emacs user]). I'm using JSP 2.0, JSF 1.1_01, JBoss 4.0.1 and JDK 1.4.2. No, I won't upgrade to 1.5 (yet).
Any hints, pointers to good sample code? I've looked at some of the sample code that came with the RI and I've tried to navigate the JSF Blueprints stuff, but I haven't really found anything on aggregating components into a custom component. Did I miss something obvious?
If this isn't a good question, please let me know how I can sharpen it up a bit.
Thanks.
John.

Hi,
We're doing something very similar. I had a look at the Tomahawk Date component, and it seems to dynamically created InputText components in the encodeEnd(). However, it doesn't decode this directly (it only expects a single textual value). I expect you may have to check the request yourself in decode().
Other ideas would be appreciated, though - I'm still new to JSF.

How a custom component is called when we install a custom component in UCM.

How a custom component is called when we install a custom component in UCM.
On what event the component services will be activated and called.
Suppose i create a Custom service name MULTIPLECHECKIN then this service will be called on what event and where it will be defined to call.

Saurabh,
the code is packed in the component (see component\Security Filter\java\Security Filter\ModifyAttributesFilter.java - the first Security Filter is the component name, the other Security Filter is the Java package name).
What is important:
- your class must implement the FilterImplementor interface (you will need UCM standard classes - server.zip in your classpath) and its doFilter method
How the filter is executed?
- actually, in this case you don't need any new service - you can use the standard 'hook', which is provided by standard checkin services
- in Component Wizard create a new component, add your compiled class to it (make sure you follow the rules not to end up in classpath issues)
- in Component Wizard click the 'Java Code' tab. Here you can add a Custom filter called validateCheckinData, which is executed by standard checkin services. If you parametrize the filter to call your class created above, you are done.
'Working with Content Components' manual (e.g. here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10316_01/cs/cs_doc_10/documentation/developer/using_components_10en.pdf) can give you a basic picture. A better resource is Bex Huff's book - I would recommend you to get it, because it has a step-by-step HelloWorld example which can guide you through Component Wizard. I could also send you my own component (send me an email at [email protected]) which implements a filter for user quotas, so you just need to "replace classes".
As for the other half of your task, searching for the file in the database server will work only if you use database as your storage (ie. install and configure File Store Provider component accordingly). Of course, you could do a search for file in this case - just consider that you will be comparing two BLOBs rather than two relatively short check-sums (most likely strings or arrays of bytes). Besides, it will not work if you use filesystem as your storage.
