Dynamic Table driven menu
I am trying to to create a menu whose menu item has to be dynamically pulled out from a database table. Right now I am saving all the menu item in a xml file. My code looks like this
<tr><td class="head" colspan="2" align="center"><br/>Country of Origin</td></tr>
<tr class="input">
<td colspan="2" align="center" class="input">
<SELECT id="country" name="country">
<xsl:for-each select="//country/CodeList/Entry">
<OPTION class="input">
<xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="code" />
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
</OPTION></xsl:for-each>
</SELECT>
</td>
</tr>Thanks in advance
Hi,
an example is shown here:
http://www.javaworld.com/jw-03-2000/jw-03-xmlsax-p4.html
Menu is in AWT in this article, not in swing but it can't be so different.
L.P.

Using jsf/adf bc I've been studying the 'dynamic' menu setup in the srdemo and have a decent understanding of how that works in a declarative way. However, that example assumes the menu items and their properties will be 'hard coded' into the faces-config. I have menu items and their properties (label, outcome, etc) stored in a table and I want to get rows from this table and essentially create an object of the MenuItem class for each row in the Menu table. I understand how to do this step programmatically. I'm left wondering then how to create the instance of MenuTreeModelAdapter and add each of these MenuItem instances to it and further how to create the instance of MenuModelAdapter and add the instance of MenuTreeModelAdapter to it?? Will this need to be a totally programmatic thing, or am i going to still be using some of the entries in the faces-config.xml? Thanks for any help on this.
John, thanks for the reply. I did search first and didn't come up with anything. I took a look at the example from the link you gave me. It didn't provide a lot of help, but I think I've got something I can use for my purposes. My application menu will have two levels, a menu and submenu. Therefore, there exists two db tables to hold info for each menu level. The submenu table rows are children of the menu rows and so are related by fk. In my application, I just created master/detail view objects and link to retrieve all menu items along with their submenu items. I then iterate thru the rows programmatically and populate the menu model that way. Initially, it seems to be working. I'll post that code in case it might help someone else:
public void buildMenuItems(){
ViewObjectImpl menuVO = getTopLevelMenu();
//iterate thru menu records
menuVO.executeQuery();
Row menuItemRow = null;
List menuItemsList = new ArrayList();
List submenuItemsList = new ArrayList();;
while(menuVO.hasNext()){
menuItemRow = menuVO.next();
//convert the menu row into an instance of a MenuItem object.
MenuItem menuItem = new MenuItem();
menuItem.setLabel((String)menuItemRow.getAttribute("MenuLabel"));
menuItem.setOutcome((String)menuItemRow.getAttribute("NavigationOutcome"));
menuItem.setViewId((String)menuItemRow.getAttribute("ViewId"));
RowSet sublevelMenuRows = (RowSet)menuItemRow.getAttribute("SublevelMenus");
while(sublevelMenuRows.hasNext()){
Row sublevelMenurow = sublevelMenuRows.next();
MenuItem sublevelMenuItem = new MenuItem();
sublevelMenuItem.setLabel((String)sublevelMenurow.getAttribute("SubmenuLabel"));
sublevelMenuItem.setOutcome((String)sublevelMenurow.getAttribute("NavigationOutcome"));
sublevelMenuItem.setViewId((String)sublevelMenurow.getAttribute("ViewId"));
submenuItemsList.add(sublevelMenuItem);
//if there were any sublevel menu items (children), add them to that menu item instance.
if(submenuItemsList.size() > 0){
//i'm basically making a copy of the submenu item list here so i can pass that to the setChildren method
//of the MenuItem object. Then i'm safe to clear() the original list so it can be used again. Without using
//a copy of the list to pass in, a subsequent call to clear() on that same list actually removes the children
//that were just placed into MenuItem from that object.
List submenuItemsListCopy = new ArrayList(submenuItemsList);
menuItem.setChildren(submenuItemsListCopy);
submenuItemsList.clear();
//add the MenuItem instance to a list.
menuItemsList.add(menuItem);
MenuTreeModelAdapter treeModelAdapter = new MenuTreeModelAdapter();
treeModelAdapter.setListInstance(menuItemsList);
treeModelAdapter.setChildProperty("children");
MenuModelAdapter modelAdapter = new MenuModelAdapter();
modelAdapter.setViewIdProperty("viewId");
try{
modelAdapter.setInstance(treeModelAdapter.getModel());
}catch(IntrospectionException ex){
//do nothing here...
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSessionMap().put("menuModel", modelAdapter);

--urgent Can I use table data to create a dynamic drop down menu?
Hi,
I am asked to investigate the possibility of using APEX to create a table driven dynamic drop down menu? The deadline is tomorrow but I have spent quite a bit of time but still have not any clue. Can any one have such experience to point me a way to focus on?
Many thanks.
JenniferThanks you very much for the help Kevin.
Currently my company is using htp.p style to create web app and using the dynamic menu in a similar way as you explained. Now they want to move to Apex and still keep dynamic menu functionality. After reading your response and research I have done I think I can embed it into Apex application by creating the similar table and PL/SQL package and let Apex to call the PL/SQL package when the application is first called. However may I ask you a question about how to call such pl/sql procedure in Apex? .
The current application has the following URL, from which the procedure pkg_main.print_menu is called and html home page with dynamic menu is displayed.
Http://app server:1234/pls/applicationname/pkg_main.print_menu?p_new_window=N
BUT what about the Apex? The Apex URL format is like the following, where 11563 and 1 is application id and page number. Assume that 1 is home page, but HOW the procedure is called, from WHERE?
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=11563:1:3397731373043366363

Dynamic tables with data driven visibility of columns (XML).
Hi
I am trying to make a template in LiveCycle Designer (XDP) with a dynamic table, and with dynamic visibility of columns.
I want the column visibility to be driven by the xml input.
(There is no user input.)
I want the columns to visible in the table only if one or more of the rows has a data cell with value in a spesific column. If not the entire column should dissappear from the generated pdf.
If that is not possible, my alternative is so set a value in th XML file to hide a tables column. But how?
I have no problems of making dynamic tables, that is solved.
I only want to hide unused columns in a table, defined in the xml source file.
Can anyone help?
BorgeHi,
The link is not working..
Please provide a valid link. -

Created a one page index.php site with dynamic driven menu but have to click thrice before it populates the content menu
it has no problem getting the menu information but seems to forget that the content needs to load on first go ie for the Home page
anyone with any help would be greatHey J.S,
Do you think its a bad idea to have Database admin over them web? How could i make my db admin into a program to run on a certain computer. i.e on the car breaker yard where there is no dreamweaver.
Thanks J.S -

How do i create a styled spry mysql driven menu using dreamweaver cs4?
How do i create a styled spry mysql driven menu using dreamweaver cs4?
I have cs4. I gave up on using MS sql as a datasource. I finally got a php successfull connection in my PHP web page.
I would like a nice video tutorial for creating a dynamic menu.
I guess i can style it by attaching a css file to the page. Are their any already designed css files out there in some online area?
i am not a good designer. so i would like to simply have a collection of menu_style.css files and choose what looks good.
But first i need to build the spry menu from the mysql database.
Any help is apprechiated.
My first choice was to maintain the data in an MS sql server file. If i could directly attach to an ms sql datasource then that would be the best option.
I dont think i want to have to re-generate an XML datasource each time i add or modify the menu. I would like to maintain the MS Sql or mySql file instead.
If i could generate an XML datasource from the MS Sql database then I may even prefere that, but i have spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to do that and not had any success. So i prefere working in MS sql but would settle for mySql if i had to.
Thanks

How to populate a dynamic table according to the choice of the viewer
Hi there,
I ran into a dead-end on my "Events" page.
There is a dynamic table getting the info from a database. It will initially show the Upcoming Events.
At this point my question is this:
*Can I populate the dynamic table based on a condition where the current date and the event date (as in the db) will be compared and if the event date is later than the current date, it will be displayed in the table. Otherwise, it won't.
If I can do that, can someone please help me out with the code?
Besides that, on the right side of the page there are 3 options for the viewer:
1. View upcoming events
2. View past events
3. Search events by month and year
What I want to do is that when the viewer clicks on 'past events', the table will be reset and populated with those events whose date has passed.
When the viewer clicks on "upcoming events", the table is reset again and populated with the relevant events.
When the viewer selects a month and a year, search the database to find the relevant records.
Can all of this be written in php? Since I read smwhere that php doesn't work with onclick functions... i got confused. Cuz the data in my table will have to vary depending on what the viewer is clicking (upcoming events/past events/search events). I do not wish to create separate pages for each type of event.
If anybody has a better suggestion to carry out this task, please share!
Thanks!>Can I populate the dynamic table based on a condition where the current date and the event date (as in the db)
>will be compared and if the event date is later than the current date, it will be displayed in the table. Otherwise, it won't.
Of course. You just need to compare the date field in your database with the current date as returned by your DBMS date function. Assuming you are using MySQL, you would compare your column with the currdate() function and use the appropriate greater than/ less than operators in the SQL WHERE clause. If you don't know what a WHERE clause is then I would urge you to learn SQL as soon as possible. You can't build data driven sites without a basic understanding of SQL.
>Since I read smwhere that php doesn't work with onclick functions..
What this means is that php is a server side language, where user interactions always occur at the client site. But that does not mean you can't invoke a server side action from a client side event. You most certainly can and would.
You might consider adding links to the dynamic table page that pass a querystring to the php script which determine what filter to add in the WHERE clause- greater than the current date, less than, etc.
Also, in the future, please post these questions to the application development forum. -
Tab Order of Dynamic Table or subform
Hi,
I have a page with few subforms. At this subforms are dynamic tables or dynamic subforms. How does the tab order works in this kind of layout.
Some time I have a few subforms or tables group together when activiate the tab order form the menu [View->Tab order]. I have the tab order arranged for a dynamic subform. When I preview and add a few instance of the subform (call it subform A), the first instance tab order follow what was set. But when tab to second instance of subform (subform A), the cursor just when to another subform (subform B). Why is that so? Shouldn't it just continue to the second instance?
Thanks for any help.Hi Mike,
I have faced with the same problem also. So as a temporary solution, in the exit event of the last item in the table, I changed the focus to the next instance's first item. Not a good way. If there is any different solution, waiting also.

Hi,
I made a VO with quite complex query (nested subqueries linked with inner join) and when I dragged it from Data Control to the page I didn't get the familiar context menu with implementation options I used to get it earlier.
Instead of, I got an implemented table with following structure:
- af:table - t3
- af:forEach
- af:column - #{...}
- af:outputText - #{...}
Did I get a dynamic table?
My problem is that I cannot get the list of attributes from VO query and then to edit table columns.
They are shown in table at runtime but with default properties. I can set up af:column options generally but I need to set up all of the attributes individually.
Is this a query-level problem or there is another way doing this?

Page breaks with dynamic table
Hi there!
We've built a LiveCycle process in which we get data from an XML file and generate the PDF in LC Output.
However, although the items are being correctly generated in the table, only the first 20 or so records are being included, generatin just one page.
There are around 200 records in the XML - we just can't find how to set up the XDP in LC Designer so that we get a multipages PDF containing all 200 records instead of just 20.
We are using a dynamic table with the following set up:
Pagination: Following Previous
In Binding tab, we checked Repeat Row for Each Data Item
This table was inserted using the Insert Table option in main menu, using the wizard and it's inserted in a subform.
All these setup options were applied to the table row element.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
MarcosHi Niall,
Thank you for the input!
However, there's something else we're missing here.
After I tried your suggestion there were actually page breaks... we got 4 pages. However, only one of them had any content (the dynamic table with 30 records) and the other three were blank. The XML that populates the table includes 200 records.
We're pulling our hair off here, trying to do this for days!...
BR,

Alignment in dynamic table in workflow mail
I have a workflow with a task of sending mail to SAP inbox. The body of the mail should display a table with a structure that is dynamically determined at run time. The workflow is triggered from a report in which a dynamic table is first created, filled with data. Then, before the event is raised, each line of the table is converted to ABAPTXT255 and then the table of string is passed to the workflow. The content of the original table is then shown as a table of strings.
The problem is that, because I convert the content to string before passing the table to workflow, Ive lost control over the alignment of columns I originally had before the conversion, and the font used in SAP inbox doesnt help either. Hence, the table appears in the mail as having no alignment at all.
My dilemma is that, I cannot think of another way of passing a table with dynamic structure to workflow, except to convert everything to string first. But, then I lost control over the alignment.
Has anyone come across anything similar to this before? Any comments or suggestions?
Thanks in advance.Can u send the code how u r doing this?
Also let me know that when u see the contents in the inbox, from menu path Settings-> text in non-proportional font.
Are your contents aligned when u do the above setting?

Dynamic Drop-Down Menu Solution
Hi All,
After spending a lot of time trying to find a good solution for a dynamic drop-down menu, I end up writing my own.
The solution is for a list of items, having ITEM as the primary key of the table and ITEMDESCRIPTION as the list of options for the user to select.
The steps are:
1) JavaBean to return a ResultSet;
2) A custom tag to build a HTML SELECT;
3) A .tld file to declare the custom tag;
4) web.xml where the custom tag mapping resides;
4) A JSP to illustrate how to call the custom tag;
Hoping this will save lots of time to others
Cheers

</html>This is a very helpful execellent sample code.
However, If I'm using Model-View-Control approach, then what's the way of applying these codes
to each indivisual file? Say, I have 20 files and only 4 of the 20 need to be treated as they like
to have drop down menu in particular column(s)??? How could the custom tag be applied as the
controller tells the view to present these special treat? or it is not possible (I have to treat each
file, filtered by controller -- one by one as it encounters the special need)?

Table driven parllel processing in workflow
Hi,
Please tell me what is table driven parllel processing technique in workflow?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks& Regards,
Rao NHi, that's a difficult requirement.
First advice post this on the workflow forum (=BPM) it's better suited there.
Next advice:
Try to make it easier for yourself, I don't think the business will ever be able to ha a 12 step approval case, most of the times it's 1, a lot of times 2 and in some cases 3 (is this correct with the business you're working in ?)
In that case, you can simply dynamically fill the workflow containers holding the number of levels plus the approvers, based on the number of levels (multiple condition) you either execute subflow 1, 2 or 3.
OR, you can somehow put all the logic in a loop.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans -
How to add dynamic table in DW CC?
I am relatively new to DW. I am trying to set up a searchable database where I can input an area code, and return a table with associated data (say diseases in that area). I need a dynamic table for this, but DW CC does not have a dynamic object link in the "insert" menu. Any help? I am running on a Mac
Hi Ben,
Thank you for telling us how to create a dynamic table in Dw CC (It was a breeze in CS6 with the wizard, but why would Adobe keep a tool that makes life easy for developers when they can make life harder instead? - and don't even get me started on the missing spry form evaluation widgets!).
However, two things are missing from your solution.
Firstly, if I create a table connected to a database, with each cell in the top row displaying a caption for each column, followed by a second row where I drag the field names from the bindings tab into the appropriate cell beneath each column name, and then set repeat region in the recordset, the table displayed in my browser shows a repeated column caption above each individual record that is displayed, which is far from ideal. There does not seem to be a way to isolate the column records from the column names.
Secondly, each cell width of each row is displayed according to the width of the cell data, meaning that there is no uniformity to the table (see screenshot below). Ideally, I would like each column to be uniform in width.
If you or anyone can give me the solution to these knotty problems I would be very grateful.
Thanks in anticipation.
