Embeding Regions inside Popup Windows-Pattern

Hi folks,
i'm trying to build a prototype using the "Embeding Regions inside Popup Windows"-Pattern.
I've got one emp-VO on a jspx page and a popup displaying the same VO as read-only table in a region created from a fragment.
The popup should be used to choose a employee that could be edited on the underlying formular.
The problem:
When the popup opens only the header of the table and the text "Daten werden übertragen" (Fetching data) is displayed.
But data is never displayed.
Does somebody know what's going on?
Thanks!

Hi,
if you use a dynamic region for this, make sure the managed bean that switches between the empty task Flow id and the Task Flow to show is neither in backingBeanScope, nor in request scope. It should be at least in viewScope.

Embedding Regions Inside PopUp Windows

Problem Description
Regions can be incorporated into ADF Faces popup content to support potentially complex navigation through a series of pages to complete a task. Another important benefit of including regions within ADF Faces popups is content reuse. These great benefits make ADF Faces popups containing regions a commonly used application development pattern. Incorporating regions into <af:popup> content can seem similar to incorporating regions into a page, especially since an <af:popup> is actually considered part of a page. However, there are some important differences to keep in mind. When incorporating regions into <af:popup> content, the following default development constraints must be taken into consideration:
<ul>
<li>Content within the <af:popup> component is created and executed when its corresponding page is initially displayed. It’s not automatically refreshed when a <af:popup> is disclosed.</li>
<li>When disclosing an <af:popup> subsequent times from the same page, region content isn’t automatically refreshed and restarted from the beginning.</li>
<li>An <af:popup> is not automatically dismissed when its region content completes via navigation flow. Likewise, when an <af:popup> is dismissed, its corresponding region content is not automatically considered “complete”. Therefore, resources used by the corresponding task flow (e.g., memory, DB transactions) are not released.</li>
<li>Region components activate when their <af:region> UI component is invoked (i.e., component tree built), not when the component tree is rendered. Most JSF UI components build their component tree and wait until rendering to activate. The <af:region> UI component is different since it must first resolve its task flow’s target view to include the corresponding page fragment.</li>
</ul>
Many of these default development constraints are the result of <af:popup> behavior being mainly client-side only. When a user discloses an <af:popup>, JavaScript on the client unhides the <af:popup> created previously when the page was initially displayed. When the <af:popup> is dismissed, JavaScipt on the client simply hides the <af:popup> again. In both cases, no event or request is sent to the server to refresh the region content or retrieve data based on the current application state. If the <af:popup> is displayed a second time, it simply redisplays the <af:popup> content remaining from the previous disclosure.
 
Technical Pattern Description
This document describes the recommended development approach for the “ADF Faces Popup + Region” pattern. Other development approaches may be possible to achieve the same desired use case behavior. The development approach described in detail within this document is considered the most comprehensive and least complex approach.

Hi,
I am wondering, if there a way to, while staying on the same popup (so, _without clossing popup), to refresh and restart region content from beginning ? For example, when user presses button on the popup, what I want, is :
1. stay on the same popup
2. release resources used by the corresponding task flow
3. refresh and restart dynamic region content (thus calling default task flow activity from the same task flow).
4. new content (depending on the default t.flow activity) should be displayed on the popup.
This can be used in the following use-case : Imagine that user inserts new record on the popup. Default activity is the CreateInsertRow.
When user press the 'Save and Create New' button, the data should be commited to the database, resources used by t.flow should be released, and default activity should be called again.
Thanks in advance,...

Scrollbar inside Popup Window

Hi Experts,
I have created a popup window with a table inside that. Data is getting populated from BAPI into this table.
Please tell me the procedure for creating a scrollbar inside the table.
Thanks.

Hi
No need to create scrollbar inside the table fro popup or any element It will introduce whenever it required.
Just set the number of rows for table 5 ,10 etc Once data from BAPI/RFC will more than this number scroller
will comes automatically.

Table never gets populated inside popup window on customer's site

I'm working on application in ADF (ADF BC, ADF Faces) with JDeveloper 11.1.1.4 (application deployed on customer's site in Weblogic Server 10.3.6)
and in one page I'm having a button behind which is a code to execute a query against a table whose data is going to be shown in popup window.
Query limits the number of records to be shown to 100 (in query: rownum <= 100).
In my development environment this works fine, but there is a problem on customer's site.
For the query to execute it takes about 20 seconds at the site of customer. After that in backing bean there is a code to show popup.
In the page - popup starts showing (it means that query ended) but never fetching data in the table (all the time there is a message - "Fetching data" like framework is retrieving it but nothing happens).
I have tested a query in SQL*plus - it returns data.
I couldn't find out what is the reason for such behaviour.
Do you have any suggestions what to try?
Thanks,
Nebojsa

I've found the reason for not populating table in popup.
Although there is a limitation to the number of rows displayed in table in the form of additional where clause: "rownum <=n" this part of where clause is added to the VO in overridden method: executeQueryForCollection.
Before executing this method framework is executing: getEstimatedRowCount which when executed for the first time through method getQueryHitCount executes a query against the database (select count(1) from... without my rowum <=n which is added to the query afterwards in above mentioned method executeQueryForCollection).
My question is: if I don't want to add rownum <= n at design-time, where it would be the best place to add it to the query so to avoid above described situation and to have that rownum <= n in place for the count query as well?

Need to dynamically include an image file when calling a popup window

I am working on a web dynpro Java app which uses a button to call a popup window/view. Within the popup, I want to dynamically choose an image to show (from mime types) based on a criteria...there will be multiple buttons on the initial view that all call the same popup, but the popup will have content specific to which button called it (specifically the image embedded in the view).
My question is, what is the proper/best way to do this?
Here are some possible ways I can think of...
1. Pass a parameter from each button during the call of the event, but how does that get sent to the implementation of the second view for use in determining which image? And, how do I modify the source property of the image element based on that parameter?
2. Create multiple pages and views for each button to call...but this seems decidedly un-DRY.
3. Saw one posting on how to dynamically create a cached image...I could use different event handlers in the initial view, then load individual images from the mime library at that point...cache it into a hard-coded image name...then just call the identical view every time. Not sure this is even possible...input?
I don't know specifically how to implement any of these options, or know if there are other/better ways. Any help would be appreciated.

Just create a context attribute "imageFileName" in the component controller or a custom controller, map this attribute from both views (the one that contains the buttons and the one in the popup window that displays the image).
Now you can have an separate action for each button or one common action. In the first case just set the "imageFileName" inside the action handler for the specific button. In the second case use an action parameter "buttonId" and a parameter mapping
button.mappingOfOnAction().setParameter("buttonId", button.getId());
to determine which button triggered the action. After having checked which button was pressed, set the "imageFileName" accordingly.

How to pass value to popup window

Hi all,
I think it is simple but i am not having clear idea about this.
In my case, i have a table in which one column contains a command link. on pressing this link i will get details for any particular row.
now when i am not using popup and showing the details in the same page, i am getting output.
but when i am invoking popup, then on clicking that link popup window opens and displays blank screen.
I tried setting partial triggers on the popup to table and setting content delivery to immediate but still not getting output.= in popup window.
Please suggest any solution.
TIA,
Bob

Redirecting popup windows to embed window

I'm working on embedding javafx inside 3d engine. I'm using EmbeddedWindow/HostInterface route used by JFXPanel and it works perfectly for most of the cases. Unfortunately, popup windows (right click, top menu, choice box etc) are giving some trouble in full screen mode - they are popping up as new top-level windows instead of being painted on existing scene.
This works in windowed mode - they pop up on top of render window and things work properly. But in full screen mode, I will need to catch them somehow.
I don't suppose there is an easy way to display all popups in-scene... but is there any way to catch popups being displayed and manually render/redirect needed events? It doesn't have to be very efficient, as popup windows are not very common.

thanks.. i had those PDFs docs mentioned in the notes, but never could pinpoint how to change to inplace navigation..
note 1405902 clearly states how to do this in the Solution section
Solution
See attached document.
For configuring inplace navigation:
1. Inplace navigation is supported by the launchpad framework.
2. From the application, whenever an OIF is launched from the workcenter, any navigational step from this OIF can be configured as inplace navigation or new window.
3. To configure this as inplace navigation, go to launchpad (transaction lpd_cust). Choose any entry and go the details in edit mode. Click on Show Advanced Parameters. Change the parameter Navigation Mode to Inplace Navigation.

Af:commandLink not launching popup window

Hi,
I have an af:commandLink inside page1.jspx, when clicked is launching a popup window and inside it page2.jspx is displayed.
The code is as follows:
<af:commandLink text="Link Text" id="cl1" action="openPopup" windowHeight="600" windowWidth="700" useWindow="true" partialSubmit="true" returnListener="#{viewScope.backingBean.returnFromPopup}" />
"openPopup" action is set in adfc-config.xml "From Activity ID" = "page1.jspx" and "To Activity ID" = "page2.jspx".
The application containing the two pages can be accessed via URL1 and URL2 (same application just the URLs are different - URL1 is not using SSO, we use it for quick access, URL2 is using SSO to grant acces to the app).
The issue with this simple use-case is that using URL1 (no SSO), everything works ok, but using URL2 (with SSO) the commandLink sometimes loads the popup window, but the majority of time it doesn't, even if the browser's popup blocker is disabled - could not find a pattern or a way to reproduce (tested on Firefox and Chrome, same results). I noticed on the FireBug console on URL2 that a POST call to server is issued when clicking the commandLink, but nothing happens, popup window is not showing up. Same call is issued on URL1, and the popup window is launched and everything works as expected.
I'm using jDev 11.1.2.2.0 and Firefox 10.0.7, Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m.
Any clues on why is this happening?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Iulian

Hi,
have you tried if there is a difference in the behavior if the session previously has been SSO authenticated or not?

Custom pushbutton in ME21N should display a popup window with item details

Hello,,
The requirement is to
1. Add a custom pushbutton in ME21N screen at header level.
2. The user will select some PO line items and will click on this push button.
This inturn should trigger a popup window with item details only for those selected PO line items along with schedule line qty.
I have created the custom push button in a custom tab using the BADI ME_GUI_PO_CUST.
Now I am not able to retrieve item details and schedule line details inside the PAI of the custom tab..
i.e., when i click on the custom push button, I am not able to retrive the item data and schedule line data.
Please help me to retrive PO line item data and schedule line data.

JSF is not so relevant in this question. It's all about how the generated client side code look like. Which is usually a bunch of HTML/CSS/JS (open page in browser, rightclick and view source). If you know HTML, you should know that using target="_blank" in a <form> or <a> element would open a new window. If you know JS, you should know that using window.open() would open a new window.
Apply this so in the JSF source code so that the generated HTML/JS output is exactly what you want.

Creating a PDF report within a popup window

bq. Hi, \\ Within my application i've a page which uses JasperReports to generate a simple PDF report within prerender(): \\ public void prerender() { \\ try { \\ this.planned_bar_tripsDataProvider1.refresh(); \\ if (this.planned_bar_tripsDataProvider1.cursorFirst()) { \\ getApplicationBean1().*jasperReport* \\ ("PlannedBarTripsReport", "application/pdf", \\ getSessionBean1().getPlanned_bar_tripsRowSet1(), null); \\ } \\ } catch (Exception ex) { \\ log("Exception generating report", ex);} \\ } \\ jasperReport() is taken from the Sun PDF tutorial (http://developers.sun.com/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/reports.html) \\ Now, when this page is opened within the application (browser) window the PDF report successfully renders. \\ However, when the page is opened within a popup window, using the (onclick) Javascript function: \\ function generateReport() { \\ window.open('PlannedBarTripsReport.jsp') ; \\ window.event.returnValue = false; \\ } \\ the PDF report fails to render.

In MVC, do i need a View or Page with flow logic for POPUP window

Hi All,
I have the below scenario using the MVC pattern.
I have a main view with 3 trays, each tray has two buttons, for example first tray has Create Order button. When I click on this button, I need a popup window to come with a tableview and a button(Create), where I select some rows and click on the button Create to create order.
But as per the MVC pattern I canu2019t call the view (popup) from another view(main view). So should I create a VIEW or PAGE WITH FLOW LOGIC for the popup? .
I need 6 popup to be called from the main view and once the function is done close the popup.
Please suggest me the flow for this scenario.
Cheers,
Srini.

Srini,
1. You can call the view in pop-up because you will be calling the controller using open.window.
Here is the sample code:
method DO_REQUEST .
data:
        li_vw           type ref to   if_bsp_page,
        lv_form_field   type          string,
        li_md           type ref to   zcl_model01.
dispatch_input( ).
li_md ?= get_model( 'm01' ).
lv_form_field = request->get_form_field( 'invoice_create' ).
if lv_form_field is initial.
*------ Request to display main page
    li_vw = create_view( view_name = 'main.htm' ).
    li_vw->set_attribute( name = 'model' value = li_md ).
    call_view( li_vw ).
elseif lv_form_field eq 'true'.
*------ Request to display Invoice page in pop-up
    li_vw = create_view( view_name = 'invoice.htm' ).
    li_vw->set_attribute( name = 'model' value = li_md ).
    call_view( li_vw ).
endif.
endmethod.
Layout:
      function do_Invoice()
      { var s=0; r=1; w=300; h=300; x=screen.width/2;
        x=x-w/2;
        var y=screen.height/4;
        y=y-h/2;
        popUp=window.open('main.do?invoice_create=true','win','width='+ w
        +',height='+ h +', left=' + x +',top='+ y +');
Option2:
Ofcourse you can't bind the model in page becos those are 2 different things. But all you need to do is access the model to get some value. To know how to access the model from Page w/flow logic look at [this link|Passing model reference to a page in a Popup].

Not able to display the desired view if button is pressed in POPup window

Hi Experts,
I have developed a web dynpro application.In this i have created a pop up window which consists of three buttons YES , NO and CANCEL.
I have developed three event handlers in the view VIEW_POPUP which is acting as view of the pop_up window. When i click on any of these buttons no event handler is getting triggered.
Please give your suggestion as where the problem is.

Firing a view based on a selection from a popup window

Hi,
I have a main window in which there is "Display Details" button and a view container to hold a view. On clicking this display button I'm showing a pop-up window which will show the user the options to select a particular view. After the selection and clicking on OK in the pop up window the corresponding view should be shown the view container.
I tried this by firing an outboung plug to the corresponding view based on the selection in the popup window. The problem is I cannot create a navigation link in the window as the popup view is not part of the main window.
Could you please provide me your insights on how to handle this scenario?
Regards,
Vivek

1- run Page 3
2- select J & B Marketing from drop down
3- select only contract from drop down
4- click on Edit Existing Contract
5- click on Add New Builder
6- Enter the same builder from calling page: Builder Name: Alvarez Construction City: Baton Rouge State: LA
7- click Add Builder
The original version of this page would add the new builder to the database, pass the information back to the calling page and close the popup window. Cool.
I have added a validation on the popup page (Page 4) to check for an existing builder with the same name and city.
What I'd like to have happen is the popup window stay open so the user can see the error message with the instructions for them to click on the CANCEL button and then select the builder from the drop down list. When they click the CANCEL button I need to have the window close.
What is happening is the window is closing as soon as the Add Builder button is clicked.
This is because there is a region called 'scripts' that contains javascript to submit the page and close the window and the condition on the region is only that the Builder Name is not null. So, the good news is that I understand why the window is closing but I'm not sure the best way to keep it open when the error condition happens.
Thanks very much for your help. I'm sure you recall everything about this app you helped me with many months ago. NOT!! :-)

Gary, I think I've got it working the way you want.
1. I added a conditional branch to page 4 which fires on the not exists builder condition condition.
2. I disabled the reset page process. With that running, the conditional branch to page 4 woul always fire because the builder name and city were always cleared by the time the branch executed.
3. I noticed that the new builder did not show up in your select list until I refreshed page 2. I haven't had a chance to look at that. Maybe a branch back to page 2 from page 4 after successfully loading a new builder will take care of that.

Dynamic Action on "Get Focus" After Closing a Popup Window

Hi,
From one of APEX Application Pages I am calling a Popup Window where users can create a new record. In the Popup Window once the record is created and window is closed, I want to refresh the region on the main page to show the record created in the popup window.
How do I create a dynamic action which will fire when the main APEX window gets the focus (after the popup window is closed). ?
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Assuming that you have a dynamic action in the parent page which refreshes the region
<li> Make a note of the event which triggers your dynamic action, lets call this event A.
<li> Create a JS function in parent page which triggers event A when called.
For example if your Dynamic Action trigger is a button(id ="P100_REFRESH") press event
Your JS function could be
function Trigger_refreshRegion()
$('#P100_REFRESH').click();
The way in which you simulate the Dynamic action deoends on the firing event that you have used, so modify it appropriately.
<li>Now in the pop up page, if you are closing the page in JS using smthing like window.close() or so,
just call the parent page's refresh JS function there using the
opener.Trigger_refreshRegion(); //whatever was the name of the function that you created.
