Determine all entity associations used in application module?

Hi,
ADF 11.1.1.2.0, ADFBC.
I want to create a JUNIT testcase to loop through all entity associations and compare them with the relations in the Oracle database.
to get all view objects of the AM I use following method:
am.getViewObjectNames(true,true);
How to get all entity associations used in an AM?
regards
Peter

Hi,
did you try
View Object --> Entity --> EntityDefImpl --> getAssociationDefImpls() ?

Use of application module pool and ADF Busines Components

Hi to all;
Lets suppose an web application with about 10 CRUD forms and 15 to 20 reports or forms just to query and show data;
That's clear to me, all the advantages of using App modules pool.
But for that reports ..... Just an Read only and Forward Only data ?
I was wondering, if it will be more effective and lightweight if we just take an JNDI JDBC connection query data and show it.
This imaginary application will make use of application module pool to provide that 10 CRUD web forms and in other hand, will have for reports,JNDI data sources;
What are your opinion about having this two architectural approach working together in one application ?
Very thanks;
Marcos Ortega

Hi Deepak;
BC4J in my opinion is great and i am proud to share this opinion with all of you;
As a meter of fact, i post this thread to help me better understand BC4J architecture.
I think that my doubt main point is ...
Are application modules pool's life cycle an extra work , when the job is just to read and show data ?
Perhaps, an document about statefull and/or stateless application service release, help me;
IMHO;
cached data most of the time must to be discarted for reports, always we want to query database directly, View's object ClearCache() method would be called to reports.
I think that it's different, when we are talking about sequent requests when we need to span the session, views and entities states.
Forwards Thanks;

Moneesh,
I believe there is a problem with the way you set the variable theAMDefName. It should be:
String theAMDefName = freshJBO.FreshJBOModule";
Then you need to reinstate the line you commented out, to set the application path (but remove the trailing / from the path, as shown):
env.put(JboContext.APPLICATION_PATH, "test/jd");
If that doesn't work, and for future reference, I suggest testing your deployed application module from the Business Component Browser (aka the tester) before trying your hand-coded client. Start the tester, select Oracle8i as the middle tier server type, make sure the other information in the connect window is correct, then click Connect.
Good luck
Blaise

Using an Application module's customised Function in JSF

Dear All
I wrote a function in the application module with the return type of MAP.
this function has input parameters. when i try to access the return in EL for value element of my page components, i am always face the NULL.
but when i deal with the return value in tho code, there is no problem.
On the other hand, if the function does not have any input parameter, the EL works correctly.
Can anyone help me with this problem.
and one more thing. the function is executes every time the page is loaded but i just want it to be executed after i click a button. this means that the return parameter has already the value i need before i execute the function. it seems to be executed automatically at the start of the page loading. what should i do to prevent the execution?
Thanks for helping me

Expose your method. Drag your method from your DataControl onto your page and choose for a 'Form'.
That way, you will get a form with some inputfields (for the parameter(s)) and a submit button.

Using remotable Application Modules

I deployed an Application Module to JServer.
How can i use this remotable AM like an ordinary AM or can anyone tell me where i can
find documentations about oracle.jbo.common.remote.ejb.RemoteApplicationModule ?

Tom,
The class you mention is one that we use internally, so we do not provide source or documentation for it.

Using existing Application Modules Entities in web service provider

Hi, I want to implement a web service provider having a WSDL file and using JAXWS.
Is it possible to use in input methods of the service, an Application Module or Entities or View Objects that exist in a separate project.
I want to perform database operations and facilitate transactions using existing ORM mapping of ADF.
Thanks,
Ilias Stavrakis

Yes, it is possible, but you have to checkout and release the ApplicationModules manually. Use the method <tt>Configuration.createRootApplicationModule(...)</tt> of the class <tt>oracle.jbo.client.Configuration</tt> to checkout modules, and use the method <tt>Configuration.releaseRootApplicationModule(...)</tt> to release it back to the AM pool at the end of processing.
See this blog entry http://jobinesh.blogspot.com/2010/04/invoking-applicationmodule-from-servlet.html despite the fact that it is not directly related to Web services.

How to use an application module custom method in JSP ?

Hi,
"TestAM" is an Application Module in which i added a method "TestClient()".
in a JSP page i have :
<jbo:ApplicationModule id="am" configname="TestAMLocal" releasemode="Stateful" />
<jbo:DataSource id="ds" appid="am" viewobject="TestView" rangesize="3"/>
<%
My question is how to call the method "TestClient()" in my JSP after these 2 Datatags ?
(i have exported this method so Jdev have generated the interface "TestAM.java")
%>
Thanks for help

Here is how I did it in my app:
<jbo:ApplicationModule id="am" configname="TestAMLocal" releasemode="Stateful" />
<jbo:DataSource id="ds" appid="am" viewobject="TestView" rangesize="3"/>
<%
TestAM am2 = (TestAM) TestAM.useApplicationModule();
am2.TestClient();
%>
Hope this helps.

All 35 slots used in Application Toolbar ? Need more to add in PF-status

All,
I have a report with PF-status . But in the PF-status Application Toolbar declaration all 35 slots have been already used. My requirement is i need to add 5 more application toolbar in PF-status.
Any Info?

Hi,
This Can be handle with two screens. use all 35 Options in first screen "A" and rest options you may use in another screen 'B'.
In this case in first screen you May reserve one option out of 35 to call the second screen. Than use another options in second screen and so on.
This is Just a suggestion i never gone thru this situation, but i believe this could be possible with some work around this.

Single session for all Application Modules

Hello,
I've got an application that has several Application Modules. All these modules need some data that are set from time to time. I've written some code that calls getSession().getUserData().put("myData",myData). After this method was called in another Application Module i want to retrieve myData with getSession().getUserData().get("myData"). But the result depends if I use 2-tier or 3-tier. In 2-tie I get myData while in 3-tier I get null. My question is:
Is there a Session object or any other data instance that could be accessed from all Application Modules for on application instance.
E.g. I've got two user (A,B) who start my application. Through using my app several instance of Application Modules are created. All Application Modules that are created for the instance of User A should be able to share his user name and some other dynamic data while the Application Modules created for B should have no access to that data.
Doe anybody know if static data of an Application Module are a possible solution?
regards
Joerg

Hi Joerg,
I am not 100% sure what you are trying to achieve, and with which version of JDeveloper/ ADF, technologies (JSP, Swing), etc, but I can tell you that I have been experimenting with single session accounts myself within a rich-client Swing environment, as I have experienced Oracle DBA guys who want to control user authentication via Oracle accounts (I have achieved this via the JCLoginDialog mechanism, and a bit of a hack)... Frank Nemphius (sp?) posted something about a white paper coming out on a related subject but I don't know where he is with that.
Anyway, I managed to do it in a prototype by nesting several application modules within a Root Application Module that was essentially simply a Container for the other application modules. Using this mechanism I was able to bind my root application module to any panel I wanted and it would inherit the roots Session.
ie. I used many application modules and it only used one Oracle Session.
However, my reservations -
1) This solution was not tested robustly!
2) I doubt this would be ideal for a distributed app with thousands of users - My solution is for a very complex app, with a limited number of users.
Finally, I cannot confirm this is a great solution - I can only tell you it worked in my prototype, and I am currently awaiting the ADF source - when my company and Oracle can decide what level of support we currently have and need!?!? - what exactly does being an "Oracle partner" mean??? Its all very boring and un-interesting to a Java person like me... ;-)
Once I have the source I will look at how it actually works and perhaps be able to answer questions like this more definitively. Hmm - I wonder if I could get the Oracle JDBC driver source too?? .... Is it written in C or C++?? I know them too... ;-)
Cheers........Dean

Howto stop the application module from using a DB

Hello,
Maybe and unusual question, but is there a way to stop the application module from connect to a DB? I know its purpose is to do so. But currently we are using ‘stub’ views and entities.
In the executequery and dodml we wrote our own code to access data from webservices.
We did this because we are also using JHeadStart which requires BC.
It all works fine, but the application module needs a valid connection to a DB, although it will never query anything there.
So is there a method which I can overwrite to make the application module think its connected to the DB but it actually isn’t?
A second problem is most likely its state table.
Anton

Example #96 on my blog does this. It might have some useful clues.

Is it proper for an application module has 300 views in the data model?

Based on my understanding, all view object instances are initialized at the same time as the application module.
It follows that when an application module is associated with a user session, the queries of each view object in the data model are executed.
ie. if the data model has 325 view object instances, 325 queries will be executed.
This doesn't seem efficient:
1. As each user session only need to access a subset of the view objects (for examples 35 views), the rest of view objects need not be instantiated for that session.
2. Performance may be slow on executing all 325 queries at one time, even worse when some queries are complex queries.
Am I correct on this?
In this case, will it be better to instantiate the view objects using the view object definition at runtime instead of adding all of them to the application module at design time?

No, that's not the default behaviour.
Assuming you're talking JDev 11, the AM on it's General tab as a Tuning option where you can set the loading of the VOs to Lazy or Non-Lazy, Lazy is the default. In turn each VO on their General tab also has a Tuning option of similar nature.
Online documentation says:
Lazy LoadingSelect to choose lazy loading. In this case, the application module instance is created without any of its components. Your view object and nested application module instances will not load until the first time they are used. For example, when lazy loading is enabled, a view object is instantiated only when the application accesses it. This will make start-up time faster.
Non-lazy Loading
Select to choose non-lazy loading. Your view object and nested application module instances will load when the application starts up. For example, suppose the application module you are editing defines three view objects and two nested application modules (which appear in the Application Module Instance section of the Data Model page over the application module overview editor). When lazy loading is disabled, the application module instance is created together with all three view objects and both nested application modules.>
So in essence as you describe for each session, if we're using the Lazy setting, even though you have 325 VOs within an AM, if the user within the session only visits 35 queries, only 35 queries should fire.
Does this help?
CM.

ADF Groovy call method in different application module

Hi All,
I have two different application modules(Say TestAM.xml and MyTestAM.xml). I have a method in second application module. I want to call that method from Entity object. Normally we use adf.object.applicationModule.getName() if it is in the first application module
So how do I call a method in second application module from Entity object?
I am using JDev 11.1.1.5 and ADF BC.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi,
In my opinion the second way have a advantage, which its method could be invoke automatically using a invokeAction on pageDef, if necessary.

Application Module - No Trx Please

OK, so I have an application module with a bunch of ViewObjects and ViewObjectLinks and no entity objects. All ViewObjects are defined with SQL queries. I use this application module in Stateless mode using BC4J JSP tags only.
Once in awhile (maybe 4 times a day), we get a stack trace like below. The person is "stuck" after it happens the first time - as if they are hanging onto an appmod reference with a stale JDBC connection. That'd be OK except it looks like it's trying to do a rollback using this stale connection before it releases it and grabs a new app mod from the pool. Why is it doing a rollback? I have nothing in the code that implies any updating is going on. Can I use an application module with no implicit trx? It looks possible to do this with Stateful mode, but I don't want to use that unless it's necessary.

It is not possible to prevent the BC4J rollback. However, I believe that you are running into a known 9.0.3 issue. Please install metalink patch 2705796 and see if it resolves the issue.
Another workaround is to enable JDBC connection release upon ApplicationPool release (-Djbo.doconnectionpooling=true).
Hope this helps,

Error when generating Web Services Proxy for SCA Application Module

Hello,
I'm trying to create Web Services for a simple Application Module with JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.3.0).
I start a new ADF Project, I create an Application Module as simple as possible : it contains only a simple View Object on the DEPT Entity.
On my Application Module, I choose "Service Interface" and I add my View Object in the service interface.
I test my Web Service in the Embedded Weblogic Server, it works well. (I succeed in using the Get operation, for example).
But when I try to generate a Web Service proxy (right-click on the WSDL File -> Generate Web Service Proxy), It always fail with such errors :

Can someone help me to understand this error ?
i never manually edited the WSDL File, so I don't understand why the generated WSDL or XSD files might contain errors.
Thanks for your Help,

We have the same problem, and the problem was in the xsd import:
The wdsl import a schema that import other schema, the second import use a relative path, that was wrong.
So check the xsd import sequence....

Howto find entity-classes in my application?

I need to get hold of all entity-classes in my application. For now, I only use annotations(@Entity) but I may change to write XML-mapping files. :)
Does some have a clue how I should get hold of my entities?

What do you mean by "get hold of"?
Wouldn't it be sufficient to grep your source code for "@entity" ?

Determine all entity associations used in application module?
