Dynamic Context Node Copying question

I am trying to dynamically copy some context nodes from my component controller to the view controller. In the source context, I have a node whose "Multiple" property is set to true.
I use the function addMappedChild to copy the attribute info, but the copied node always has "Multiple" set to false!! In the definition of addMappedChild there is no paramter for "Multiple". How do I do this?
Thanks
Walter
public IWDNodeInfo addMappedChild(java.lang.String name,
                                  java.lang.Class elementClass,
                                  boolean singleton,
                                  boolean mandatorySelection,
                                  boolean multipleSelection,
                                  java.lang.String mappedPath,
                                  boolean selectionMapped,
                                  boolean initializeLeadSelection)

I am trying to create a new node. That is
CONTEXT
- DYNFLIGHT
CARRID
CONNID
As you see above I am trying to create 'DYNFLIGHT' along with the 2 attributes which are inside this node. The structure of the node that is, no.of attributes may vary based on some condition. Thats why I am trying to create a node dynamically.
Also I cannot define the structure in the ABAP dictionary because it changes based on condition

Ok, I think I found a bug... It seems for adobe forms in WD4A, the root context node must be 1-1 and you must nest the 1-n node within that... Not sure why, but it worked. So in my case my context would look like this:
FOO_NODE (1-1)
     Widget (1-N)
          -Widget_info (1-1)
               *Name
               *Sku
               *Description
          -Widget_plant (1-M)
               *Plant_Code
               *Plant_State
               *Plant_City
          -Widget_pic (1-1)
               *Picture

To access a dynamic context node defined in a Used Component

Hi Gurus,
I need your help with something.
I have a dynamic context node in ComponentA. I want it in Component B too.
Component B uses Component A, but I am not able to get access to the context node.
Is it possible to do this? Any suggestions how to proceed.
PS: I am trying to do a dynamic mapping. The initial scenario was here, Set data into Model Node on Navigating from a View
Thanks in advance,
Anjana R.

Hi Gurus,
Its working now. Earlier, the code was something like this....
IWDNodeInfo compNode = wdThis.wdGet<i>Comp</i>Interface().wdGetAPI().getContext().getRootNodeInfo().getChild(nodeNm);
viewNodeInfo.setMapping(compNode,true);
and was trying to map it using
iewNodeInfo.addMappedAttribute("order",".<i>Comp</i>."+ nodeNm + ".order");
Now, I am mapping like this.
viewNodeInfo.addMappedAttribute("order","order");
Thanks,

Adding dynamic context node

Hello,
I having problems with creating a dynamic context node.
How can i add a new node to the context on runtime and not on design time.
Best Regards,
Smadar.

Hi,
IWDNodeInfo nodeinfo=wdContext.getNodeInfo();
/* This will add a ValueNode */
IWDNodeInfo customerNode=nodeinfo.addChild("Customer",null,true,true,true,false,false,true,null,null,null);
/* This will add a Attribute to the above Node */
IWDAttributeInfo custAttr=customerNode.addAttribute("AttribName","com.sap.dictionary.string");

Hi Sachin,
I am unable to understand why you are getting an error. I have tried the same tutorial myself and it works fine for me. Make sure that the TABLENAME attribute (which is of string type) is properly binded to the value property of the input field.

Using Search Help with ALV and Dynamic context node

The topic subject already describes my situation.
I have to create, populate and remove context nodes at runtime, and bind them to an ALV, to let user display the data or modify the data. The nodes I create are always typed with a table name, but the table name is of course, dynamic.
This is all working: what's not working is help for entries inside the ALV; since the table has foreign keys and domains with check tables or fixed values, I expected that search helps were detected and managed by the framework.
Instead, no help search is displayed except the input help based on data-type of the one "Date" input fields.
I think I have to work on the dynamic node creation, and not on the ALV itself, since the latter only takes the node/attributes information, but i could be wrong. I tried with both the two following codings:
CALL METHOD lo_nd_info_root->add_new_child_node
    EXPORTING
      static_element_type          = vs_tabname
      name                         = 'SAMPLE_NODE_NAME'
*    is_mandatory                 = abap_false
*    is_mandatory_selection       = abap_false
     is_multiple                  = abap_true
     is_multiple_selection        = abap_false
*    is_singleton                 = abap_false
      is_initialize_lead_selection = abap_false
      is_static                    = abap_false
    RECEIVING
      child_node_info              = lo_nd_info_data .
cl_wd_dynamic_tool=>create_nodeinfo_from_struct(
      parent_info = lo_nd_info_root
      node_name = 'SAMPLE_NODE_NAME'
      structure_name = vs_tabname
      is_multiple = abap_true ).
The result is the same...is there any way to let the ALV know what search helps it has to use, and doesn't force me to manually build a VALUE_SET to be bound on the single attributes? There are many tables, with many fields, and maintaining this solution would be very costly.

I have checked with method GET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUEHELP_TYPE of interface IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_INFO, on an attribute which i know to have a search help (Foreign key of a check table).
The method returns 'N', that is the constant IF_WD_VALUE_HELP_HANDLER~CO_VH_TYPE_NO_HELP. So, the framework was not able to find a suitable search help.
Using method GET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_HELP of the same interface, on the same attribute, returns me '111', which is constant C_VALUE_HELP_MODE-AUTOMATIC.
Therefore, the WD framework knows it has to automatically detect a value help, but fails to find one.
Also, this means in my opinion that the ALV and the dynamic external mapping are not the culprits: since node creation, no help is detected for any attribute but the date. Honestly, I don't have a clue on what's happening.

ABAP: dynamic context node + attribute for DROP_DOWN_BY_KEY

Hello,
I need to create a Node with attributes dynamically and than assign it to a DROP_DOW_BY_KEY element in ABAP.
I create drop down this way:
drop_down_figure = cl_wd_dropdown_by_key=>new_dropdown_by_key( bind_selected_key = 'REPOSITORY.FIGURES' on_select = 'GET_OPERATOR' ).
cl_wd_grid_data=>new_grid_data( element = drop_down_figure ).
ui_container->add_child( drop_down_figure ).
However, here I bind to REPOSITORY.FIGURES. Instead of doing this I need to bind it to an attribute that I create.
I can access wd_context but I am not sure how to create a node in wd_context, then attribute for that node that will contain items for drop down.
bind_selected_key is type of String. If I create a node with attribute how do I cast it to a String so I can pass it to a constructor of a drop down?
Thank you.

How to implement Dynamic Context Node Mapping between Components

Hey genuis:
I am looking for how to implement context mapping bwteen two components. I read some threads, and try to use external context mapping. The example works fine. However, my requirement is more than that.
I have a context node in Component B, and the attributes in it are dynamically generated. Component A is the main component which use Component B's function. Both A and B work fine by theirselves.
When I assemble A and B (external mapping), the system gives me a exception:com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.context.ContextException: MappedNodeInfo(T8UploadCompInterface.data): cannot create nodes, no mapping defined yet.
Please give me some suggestion?
Any responses are appreciated.

I miss this thread.

Dynamic context nodes

Hi all,
I want to create a dynamic context in this way. But in this example I always need a data element in the dictionary for the describe by name method --> here ZREMARK
I can use here describe_by_name( 'STRING' ) but then the column headerline is empty.
How can I set the column headerline when I use this coding?
comp-name = 'REMARK'.
comp-type ?= cl_abap_datadescr=>describe_by_name( 'ZREMARK' ).
APPEND comp TO comp_tab.
not this structure contains the fields "CONNID" and "CARRID"
struct_type = cl_abap_structdescr=>create( comp_tab ).
now the nodeinfo is created
node_info = wd_context->get_node_info( ).
node_info = node_info->add_new_child_node(
    name                         = 'MY_NODE'
    is_mandatory                 = abap_false
    is_multiple                  = abap_true
    static_element_rtti          = struct_type
    is_static                    = abap_false

>Is it possible to create the columns of the table control in a similar way?
Yes you can create the table and its columns dynamically in WDDOMODIFYVIEW. Here is a sample - I'm only creating one column, but it would be easy to adapt this logic to loop through some list of fields to create the columns.
DATA lr_container TYPE REF TO cl_wd_uielement_container.
DATA lr_input TYPE REF TO cl_wd_input_field.
DATA lr_table TYPE REF TO cl_wd_table.
DATA lr_caption TYPE REF TO cl_wd_caption.
DATA lr_table_column TYPE REF TO cl_wd_table_column.
DATA lr_table_standard_cell TYPE REF TO cl_wd_table_standard_cell.
IF first_time = abap_true.
    lr_container ?= view->get_element( 'ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER' ).
    cl_wd_table=>new_table(
      EXPORTING
        bind_data_source              = 'SFLIGHT.SFLIGHT'
        id                            = 'DYNTABLE'
      RECEIVING
         control                       = lr_table ).
    cl_wd_input_field=>new_input_field(
      EXPORTING
         bind_value             = 'SFLIGHT.SFLIGHT.CARRID'
         id                     = 'INPUT1'
      RECEIVING
        control                = lr_input ).
    lr_table_column = cl_wd_table_column=>new_table_column( ).
    lr_table_column->set_table_cell_editor( lr_input ).

Hi,
    I am new to Webdynpro abap.
   while creating Dynamic node with passing input value am getting error ' Adapter error in &VIEW_ELEMENT_TYPE& "INPUT1" of view "ZKI_WEB_DEMO21.MAIN": Context binding of property VALUE cannot be resolved: Node MAIN.1.INPUT1 does not contain any elements "
Here i'm passing plant as an input field . i create a node with attribute plant 'type = zplant' and method in component controller.
mapping context and calling method in main view.
without passing input am getting the output.

How to delete a dynamically created context node ?

Hi
I have created a context node dynamically and have added the check boxes to the node.
But when i am refreshing the page it is giving me the following excepiton:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.context.ContextException: DataNodeInfo(DwdReportView.Person): duplicate name for attribute attr1
I am writing the following code in wdDoExit() method so that the node is invalidated and all dynamically added nodes and attributes are destroyed from the metadata.
The code is :
     wdContext.getContext().reset(false);
or
     wdContext.getContext().reset();
or
                     wdContext.nodeName().invalidate();
I have tried all the above mentioned code snippets but it is still giving me the same exception.
Please help me resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Shaily

Shally,
A better forum to place your question is the forum.
To your question: the wdDoExit() method is only called once i.e. when the view is destroyed from memory. Just like the wdDoInit() mehtod is called only once at initialisation of the view.
Try refactoring your code, so that upon initialising of your context, the old version of it is removed.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Alain

How can I bind a dynamic attribute of a context node to ALV?

Hi all,
I'm trying to show data with Webdynpor ALV, but i met a question which blocked me. The situation is that there is a static context node and it's mapped to WD ALV, while programming I create a dynamic attribute to the context node. The dynamic column can be shown on the UI, but there is no any data in it. How can i deal with it?
Thanks a lot!
