Editable Table Sort Action
All,
We have a requirement where user can perform inline table (af:table) edits. If the user after editing few columns, tries to sort/applies a filter, the table refreshes and all the uncommitted data is lost.
Any suggestions/workarounds on how we could solve this issue?
JDev version: 11.1.1.3 (PS2)
When you click the sort, the table by default re-executes the query to populate the iterator - so before it does this it wants to make sure it doesn't loose any changes you made.
So the behavior is logical.
If you have another approach you want to take you can code it in the sortListener for the table to override the default behavior.

Hi,
I have a table with no datas.I enter some new data and then try to sort it the values in the table is being vanished .but if i submit the data it is submitted in the database
can you pleas help me to solve the issue.Please mention your jdev version and a use case...
How about submitting the data to the db first and then sorting it?
Sorting a table normally means that a query with the specific 'order by' clause is run through the db. So if your DB table doesn't have any data, you don't get any data back resulting in an empty table. Still the new not committed records are part of the current transaction and are getting posted to the db with the next commit.

Hello All,
I already implement table sorting in my application.How can i trigger a table sort action on a particular column after I have compeleted some other action?
ThanksUse IWDNode.sortElements(Comparator).
The Comparator instance passed to this method should cast its arguments to the node element interface and compare them by the attribute displayed in the particular column.
Say your node is named "Employees" and the attribute is "Name" and has type "String", then it looks like
Comparator comparator = new Comparator()
public int compare(Object x1, Object x2)
IEmployeesElement e1 = (IEmployeesElement ) x1;
IEmployeesElement e2 = (IEmployeesElement ) x2;
return e1.getName().compareTo(e2.getName());
node.sortElements(comparator);

Table Sorting: How is firstVisibleRow being affected?
Dears,
I'm confused at table sorting using Tablesorter.java.
When sorting, how does Tablesorter affect the firstVisibleRow of the table?
In the "[Working with tables|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/90ac0015-d1c5-2a10-d788-aed89990811d]" sample SDN provided, when press "sorting asending" or "sort descending", the table's first visible row changes automatically.
I didn't understand why firstVisibleRow changed to be so. And I don't know how the firstVisibleRow will change to be.
I checked the code of Tablesorter, and I also tried to debug into it, but didn't find any track.
Any word is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I have successfully personalized the EIT SSHR screen to display one of the configured EIT on a custom responsibility using a custom function(so that I can do personalization on function level without affecting other EIT screens).
Now my challenge is that, when I click on the menu function, it takes me to the people search page, I do a search and select a employee, then it shows me the list of existing EIT records with an option of add, update and delete. Here, I need to show the existing records in a sorted order. I need the latest entry entered to appear in the top. If this is not possible, it would be great if I can have the table sorted as per one of the segment value.
Is there a way to do this. Can someone help me in doing this and let me know the steps to do the same.
Cheers
ArunI think Tomahawk is the way to go here.
Tomahawk allows sorting of data in the data table.
For action based on row selection, you need to invoke java script function
using rowOnClick attribute of t:dataTable and then make a hidden command button "click" from
the java script.

OK -- We're up to version 6 now with InDesign and Adobe still hasn't incorporated a built-in table row sorting feature? Is it me, or does anyone else think this is absolutely absurd.
It seems table sorting would be a big issue not just for the technical publishing crowd...but maybe I'm wrong.
Unless I'm mistaken, from what I can gather there are 3 methods that people are currently using to sort their table row data:
1) FREE - Manually sort the data in a Word table or Excel, then paste back into ID (which of course loses most formatting and applied styles)
2) FREE - Use a Script like:
http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/tablesort.html
3) EXPENSIVE - Purchase a plugin like:
http://www.woodwing.com/en/Smart_Styles
Anybody have any other solutions? We would love to see an inexpensive plugin that does what Smart Styles offers (without all of the other non-sorting features)...or do we have to wait another year for CS5 to find out if this feature finally makes it in.The several-year gap in postings on this thread, may indicate that there's not a lot of interest in having the feature built into InDesign. However, if you really need it now, look into the commercial Active Tables plug-in from dtptools.com. There's a free trial. Besides sorting, it can perform many spreadsheet functions within ID tables.
[/EDIT] I forgot to mention that you can add your formal support for building the feature into ID here: Wishform.[/EDIT]

[JHS 10.1.2.2 build 32] Editting table results in NoSuchElementException
Hi All,
hopefully somebody has already encountered and solved this problem.
We are using jHeadstart 10.1.2.2 build 32 and have generated our application in JSPs. But i'm running into a quite structural problem when using the editable table.
I execute the following steps:
- On a few pages we have editable tables that display one empty (new) row at the bottom.
- The tables (views) have a few mandatory columns (attributes).
- I do not fill all the required field in the empty row
- I press the commit button
The page shows the relevant message (the field is mandatory) in the screen but also dumps a NoSuchElementException in the last line.
The last line shown is the 'new' row.

at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)I've tracked the problem down to the RangeSetWrapper class that returns a size of 6 but fills the errorBeans property with only 5 objects. When getting the 6th row (index 5) the errorBeans array throws an IndexOutOfRangeException which in turn results in the NoSuchElement exception.
Does anybody recognize this problem? Does anybody have a solution? I'm trying to hack into the RangeSetWrapper class, but am not very succesfull at the moment (Well the Exception is gone, but rows get mixed up ;-))

It seems we had overridden some framework method in a subclass of JhsDataAction called clearFormBeanValues(). If you don't call this method you will get the exception stack i encountered. (The comments said the forms were always cleared and it shouldn't do that when errors were encountered.... too bad, not a name ;-))
Hopefully nothing else will break now i ripped out that code ;-)

I have a datatable with input fields assigned to each column. The user can edit values freely and then submit the changes for update. Because of the size of the list it appears that a huge amount of processing is required even though only a couple of rows are actually modified by the user.
Is there a "best practices" for handling large editable tables that anyone is aware of?
ThanksPresuming Oracle backend database.....(you didnt say)
Partitioning would seem a quick (and expensive $$$$) win, if you partition on date, be sure to use the same date key to perform 'partition pruning' , which is to say give the optimizer a chance to throw away all unrequired partitions before it starts going to disk. When you say 'didnt improve performance much' you need to give a partition wise join for the partitioning to become effective at query time - did you do this ? for example a dashboard prompt with a filter on week / month would help (assuming your week / month time dim column is joined on partition key)
Is your data model a star schema ? Do you have dimension metadata in your database ? I'd be looking at Materialized views and looking for some sort of aggregate rollup query re-write whereby you queries are re-written at run time to the Mview and does not hit your fact table.
As for caching, OBIEE caching is the last resort after you exhaust every other alternative, its not there to speed up queries and you would be hiding the problem, what when a user drills down or needs to run an ad-hoc report that is not cached ?
I would start with understanding Oracle execution plans, review your data model (with the view on speedy data extraction) and look at what Oracle DB gives for data warehousing appliances :
parallelism is your friend!
star transformation,
Mviews (table or Cube based)

I've downloaded adf faces ea19. In its documentation is descripted
this feature:
<<Aspect API
A new Aspect API (this name will likely be changed in upcoming
releases) lets component changes
persist across requests. For example, the sort order of a table or
expansion of a tree can
automatically be restored for you when you return to a page. This API
is currently not active by
default, but has been turned on in the demo bundle with the
oracle.adf.view.faces.ASPECT_PERSISTENCE
context parameter. See the Javadoc and the enclosed demos for more
information.>>
I'm very interested to preserve the sort order in my pages with
tables, so I've add the follow lines in web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>oracle.adf.view.faces.CHANGE_PERSISTENCE</param-name>
<param-value>session</param-value>
</context-param>
But I think ASPECT_PERSISTENCE doesn't work.
The table sort order is not preserved, no change respect the
precedent adf version.
Anyone with some ideas about this problem?
Thank youI think Tomahawk is the way to go here.
Tomahawk allows sorting of data in the data table.
For action based on row selection, you need to invoke java script function
using rowOnClick attribute of t:dataTable and then make a hidden command button "click" from
the java script.

How to create editable table with one empty row ?
I'm looking for solution how to create editable table with one empty row using ADF BC. I have seen this solution in application that was created in JHeadstart and it's very well idea to use it insead of creation form.
hammm, i do it this:
drop the VO on the page, select Table->ADF Table....
so, drop the botton create, from de VO->operations->create (the firts), and right botton (mouse) Edit binding....
in Data collection select the VO, in Select an action select CreateInsert

Editable table with multiple rows
Hi All!
We're trying to develop some application in VC 7.0. That application should read data from some R/3 tables (via standard and custom functional modules), then display data to user and allow him/her to modify it (or add some data into table rows), and then save it back to R/3.
What is the best way to do that?
There's no problem with displaying data.
But when I try to add something to table (on portal interface), I'm able to use only first row of the table... Even if I fill all fields of that row, I'm not able to add data to second row, etc.
Second question. Is it possible to display in one table contents of output of several BAPIs? For example we have three bapis, one displaying user, second displays that user's subordinates, and the third one - that user's manager. And we want one resulting table...
And last. What is the best way to submit data from table view in VC (portal) to R/3 table? I understand that we should write some functional module, that puts data to R/3. I'm asking about what should be done in VC itself. Some button, or action...
Any help will be appreciated and rewarded :o)

Hi,
i have to implement a table sorter in one of my webdypro application. I have done all the steps mentioned in one of the blog and have also imported TableSorter.java class. i am getting sorting icons in column headers. but on clicking icon nothing happens...i think there is some problem with the java class which i have imported. So can anybody provide the code of tablesorter.java class.
Thanks in advance,
ReenaHi Reena,
Here is the code.Just change the package name.

30EA3 - Edit Table/Create Table(Advanced) - Table Name, Text Box Size
I am not sure if its the same on non-Linux versions, but in the edit table dialog, the table name text box size is tiny. Its only wide enough that you can see approx 7 chars.
Is it possible to increase this? The size of the text box in the simple create table dialog seems like a good size. As far as I can tell, it is not tiny to conserve space for other items.
Anyway, it's just a minor issue that wont prevent me from doing work - just think it'd be better a bit bigger. I am sure it didn't used to be this small.

How can I edit an Automator action for Word?
I'm running Word 2008 on a Macbook Pro, Mac OS 10.5.
Word comes with a selection of Automator actions, including one to find and replace text in Word. I often want to convert standard numerals to old-style numerals, which are part of the extended glyphs set in fonts I use. Automator will allow me to set up ten find/replace actions (for the numbers 0-9) that successfully replace all the numerals with old-style numerals. But it only does it for the main body of the document, not for the footnotes. I need to be able to do it for all the footnotes.
I thought I might find a workaround by adding an AppleScript to my workflow, which would shift the focus in Word to the footnotes and rerun the find/replace actions. I mapped the menu item View/Footnotes to the keystroke command-) and inserted this AppleScript into the Automator workflow:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
tell application "Microsoft Word" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Microsoft Word"
keystroke ")" using command down
end tell
end tell
end tell
But the find/replace actions simply repeat what they'd done before, converting the numerals in the main body but not in the footnotes. I then thought that perhaps I should have an AppleScript to do the find/replace itself, once the footnotes have been selected, so I created the following (command-H accesses the find/replace dialog box in Word 2008):
tell application "Microsoft Word"
tell application "Microsoft Word" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Microsoft Word"
keystroke "H" using command down
keystroke "1"
keystroke tab
keystroke ""
end tell
end tell
end tell
The character after the fourth keystroke command is the glyph for old-style numeral 1. For some reason Word reinterprets this as the letter a. So using AppleScript I can only replace the numerals 1-9 with the letters a-i.
I'm pretty hopeless at even this very basic level of programming, but I presume that there's something in the Automator action 'Find and replace in Word' that specifically tells it not to look anywhere but the footnotes. I also presume it's possible to insert a command to tell it to operate on the footnotes (and headers and footers: everywhere!) too.
Does anyone know a way to edit an Automator action? I'm willing to experiment and fiddle with one until I find a way that works, if nobody knows the exact changes that I'd need to make, but I just don't know how to edit an Automator action in the first place. A bit of googling suggests that I could do it in XCode, and that that is bundled with my Mac, but I don't have it.
This all used to work when Office used to allow VBA (and I was using a horrible Windoze machine). Maybe someone would prefer just to find a way of creating a solution our of the old code, so here's one part of what I used (to change the number 1):
For Each aStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
With aStory.Find
.ClearFormatting
With .Replacement
.ClearFormatting
End With
.Execute FindText:="1", ReplaceWith:=ChrW(63281), _
Format:=True, MatchCase:=True, Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
Next aStory
Thanks in advance for any help.Thanks to all three contributors for their generous help so far. Mac people are lovely.
BDAqua's suggestion wouldn't work, I think, because copying footnote text into another application and then back into Word would lose all the associations between footnote references in the body and the footnotes themselves. I wish I could do what Klaus1 says, but Word 2008 won't allow the creation of Macros any more. They've shut off support for their creation. Nice MS. red_menace's suggestion seems very plausible and I'll look into a way of mapping the old style numerals to specific keystrokes. That might do it.
Reflecting on what you all said, I looked again through Word's help menus and eventually got pointed towards this page of 'help': <http://tinyurl.com/6398l6>. This is completely impenetrable for me, though it does compare a VBA script for Word 2004 to an AppleScript.
