Example Wanted: JSP UIX data binding

Hullo! I'm trying to display an active tree using 9.0.3 JSP UIX. I was successful in straight UIX (thanks to the examples), but can't figure out how do get the databinding correct in JSP/UIX. Does anyone have an example using <uix:tree>, or failing that how about anything substantial in JSP/UIX?
The uiXML/UIX download examples are great, and the online documentation is extensive though I find it hard to follow... but for the JSP side there just aren't any working examples!
Thanks so much.
Heather

Thank you very much for the response.
It got me looking in the right direction, and now I have something working!
Sincerely,
Heather
btw In case anyone else is ever in a similar position, here is an implementation of the above example, with some really silly data plugged in.

I want to use data binding in jsp,just like microsoft ASP's RDS,how can I do?

I can't claim to know exactly what RDS binding involves, but if my hunch is correct, you can get very similar behavior by using JSTL and define your data source using JNDI. See the JSTL spec, my article series about JSTL, or a JSP/JSTL book (such as mine ;-) for details:

UIX Data Binding sorting

I set up a UIX drop down data binding field on my application which works great, now I need to make the list sorted but i do not know where and how to do this. Does anyone know?

You've got to use the BC4J bindings; or build a bean, or a
DataObjectList which present your data. Take a look at the BC4J chapter
of the Developer's Guide.

Data Binding in ADF UIX example trouble

Two related questions:
From the help example 3. Data Binding in ADF UIX example trouble in JDeveloper on UIX. If this worked I was going to run a small java class that captures the login and passes it as a messagebox with a Welcome login name on the first page, but I can't get past the example and path problems.
From the example..."
package yourpackage;
import java.util.Date;
public class CurrentDateBean
public CurrentDateBean() { }
public String getTime()
return (new Date()).toString();
Now, we want to change the page so it uses getTime(). We need to do three things: Tell UIX to data bind the text attribute. Add a <dataScope> to the page to provide data to the content. Write a small "data provider" in Java that can access the bean. First, we'll data bind "text": <text xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/ui"
text="${uix.data.currentDate.time}"/>The example has one small change. The value is changed to ${uix.data.currentDate.time}, which is an expression that defines the data. This is shorthand for "get the time property from currentDate." If you tried running this example, you'd see nothing. That iss because we haven't given currentDate to the page, so the databinding failed, and the "text" is left to null. We do this by adding <dataScope> to the page: <dataScope xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/ui">
<provider>
Q#1?? Trying to follow the demo. The method class and method name do not seem to match the names in the above class from the demo. Am I missing a point here, please help.
<data name="currentDate">
<method class="yourpackage.DataDemo" method="getCurrentDate"/>
</data>
</provider>
<contents>
<text text="${uix.data.currentDate.time}"/>
</contents>
</dataScope>
Q#2?? When I try and apply the demo class to my home.uix XML file with
"<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<page xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/controller"
xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/ui"
xmlns:data="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/ui"
xmlns:ctrl="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/controller"

<content>
<dataScope xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/uix/ui">
<provider>

<data name="currentDate">
<method class="us.mn.state.dot.apptrack.security.CurrentDateBean" method="getTime()"/>
</data>

</provider>
<contents>
<text text="${uix.data.currentDate.time}"/>
<document>
<metaContainer>"
I get the following, and I don't know how to make the UIX XML accept the correct path, please help:
�file:/C:/JDeveloper905p/jdev/mywork/ProjTrack/AppTrack/ViewController/public_html/home.uix: Parsing error, line 12, column 97: Could not find class us.mn.state.dot.apptrack.security.CurrentDateBean

for question 1 the name of the class CurrentDateBean
actually has nothing to do with the el expression
uix.data.currentDate.time. The currentDate part of the
el expression is coming from the method data provider part
of your page:
<data name="currentDate">
<method class="yourpackage.DataDemo"
method="getCurrentDate"/>
</data>
so if you changed the name of the data provider to "foo":
<data name="foo">
<method class="yourpackage.DataDemo"
method="getCurrentDate"/>
</data>
your el would look like this:
uix.data.foo.time
by the way the uix.data part tells UIX to look for
a <data> element define in the <provider> section of
your dataScope.
For question #2, do you have the java file
us.mn.state.dot.apptrack.security.CurrentDateBean on
your classpath and is it compiled? You will get that
warning if it is not on your classpath.
Also you are incorrectly interpreting the example. What
you are doing is trying to reference the actual bean
object and its getTime() method. What you want to do
is write a method data provider that returns your
CurrentDataBean. so uix.data.currentDate would return
a CurrentDateBean instance object. the .time part of the
el expression would tell UIX to look for a method named
getTime() and use that value.
let me know if you have any more questions.

Help: Data binding using uix:choice

ADF UIX programatic data binding

Oracle ADF UIX Developer's Guide mentions the possibility to use the UIX framework in Java, to create new objects or alter the existing ones.
E.g. we can create a table using a construct like:
TableLayoutBean tlb = new TableLayoutBean();
The same document demonstrates the data binding:
BoundValue rows = new DataBoundValue(_YOUR_NAMESPACE, YOURNAME, "rows");
tlb.setIndexedNodeList(new DataObjectListNodeList(rows));
For "simple" attributes using DataObject DataObjectList, etc. the procedure is clear. But what about creating a data bound table or input text:
<table model="${bindings.EmpView1}" ... >
<messageTextInput model="${bindings.DeptCode}"/>
Itâs easy to understand that model="${bindings.EmpView1}" or model="${bindings.DeptCode}" are equivalent to multiple attribute bindings (data, validation, read-only, etc.), but it looks that the classes/methods resolving these equivalences and linking the bean to the corresponding DCControlBinding, are not public (or maybe I was not able to find them).
How can we obtain programmatically, in Java, the same structure as described above (in XML)? The best would be to use the same classes used when the UIX XML document is parsed to create the page description.
It would be very nice to be able to use a structure like
tbl.setModel( new JUCtrlRangeBinding(...) );
txt.setModel( new JUCtrlValueBinding(...) );
or maybe
txt.setAttribute( "model", new TextInputModelBoundValue(...) ) etc.
In JSF we can do something like:
ValueBinding vb = application.createValueBinding(value);
component.setValueBinding(attributeName, vb);
Can we do something similar in UIX?
Any help will be appreciated,
thanks,
Mircea Ionita

Since the code is already written, it's a pity that we can't use/extend it. I don't like to say it (sorry) but I find this design choice (implement the "model" only into the XML parsing layer) a little bit strange (or maybe I don't understand... ;-) ). We should (or we are supposed to) be able to do in java everything that we can do in XML.
I would like to find more support/help for the programmatic approach. I have the feeling that you are too focalised on "use-our-state-of-the-art-tools/wizards-to-write-the-code-for-you" and you forgot that this is not suitable for all projects. E.g. our application creates the user interface according to a layout defined by each user. To generate it, we need to use at maximum the extension mechanism and we can't simply relay on "rendered" attribute etc.
-When should we expect this new UIX release?
-What about the UIX controller? The Struts controller will replace it?
-What about the source code of uixexp2-demo.jar (distributed with ADF_UIX_component_guide)?
-Why while debugging we can't set a method/class breakpoint on UIX classes (to understand the data flow) - the stack is secret?
Thanks

How to handle html:multibox in jsp with ADF Data Binding

Hi,
I like to use html:multibox feature in my jsp with ADF Data Binding. I am able to retrieve checked values in the DataForwardAction form. However, when the page is refreshed, the checkboxes are not persistent and yet an error showing
"JBO-25009: unable to create object type ....oracle.jbo.domain.Array" appears.
Here is my jsp code:
<c:forEach var="type" items="${bindings.SystemTypeView1.rangeSet}">
<c:if test="${Row['SystemGroup'] == type['SystemGroup']}">
<br>
<html:multibox property="selectedSystemType">
<c:out value="${type.SystemType}"/>
</html:multibox>
<c:out value="${type.TypeDesc}"/>
</c:if>
</c:forEach>
Can anyone tell me how to handle html:multibox with ADF Data Binding and make the checkboxes persistent.

Generally this can be done.
I see a problem with your use case, which has nothing to do with jdev or java:
How do you identify the user when he comes back to finish the form?
For this you can't use information like session cookie or IP address because they change.
So you have to save some information about the user which lets you identify him when he comes back. All other requirements can be implemented by ADF.

Getting at the data binding for table rows in ADF/UIX

At the highest level, I'm trying to figure out the best way to get spreadsheet-like behavior in a table where some of the cells are editable. The table cells were created using the "model=${uix.current.<columnName>}" mechanism.
I've been able to specify event handlers triggered by the <primaryclientaction> for a table cell component which call into static java methods. But I haven't been able to figure out what binding to use to get at the Java instance for that cell's row in order to use <invoke> to get at non-static methods in the row's view object. The ${uix.current} binding is stale at that point.
Are the table row data bindings just gone after the table is rendered or is there some alternate notation that lets me get at them.
Thanks in advance.

the primaryclient action should pass the rowkey of the current row (${uix.current.rowKeyStr}) as a parameter. This way the server can find the corresponding row on the server in an event handler.

[UIX] Data not visible in template, litteral instead of the value

JSP uix:table without bc4j

Hi!
I am trying to build a page in JSP including UIX tags for tabs and other layout issues. I would like to include a table. I have some fixed tables I want to include. In UIX XML I have seen I can manually build a table using the <table> tag and build up the table with a header, then row-by-row.
Is it possible to do the same thing in UIX JSP as well? When I try to cut and paste the code from UIX XML to the JSP and prefix all the tags with uix:, all it gives me is "tag is not registered in taglib". Is there another way to build up a table, other then just plain html?
One of the reasons I want to use the table tag, is to be able to split up long tables over multiple pages. Using BC4J and view objects is not an option!
Thanks in advance,
Jeroen van Veldhuizen

Yes you can.
Right click your session facade and choose create data control
Then drag the query results from your datacontrol onto the page and drop as a pivot table.
If you don't want to use ADF Binding you'll need to create a managed bean for your JSF that has the correct data collection for a pivot table.

Where is detailed description of what data binding language can do?

Where in the documentation does it clearly spell out exactly what you can do with
the data binding language (the stuff between "{...}")? I'm trying to understand
what is happening in the SamplesApp, in the "repeaterTag" module, in XMLString.jsp
and repeaterTagController.jpf.
In particular, in XMLString.jsp, it references an expression like this:
<netui-data:repeater dataSource="{pageContext.xml.employee}">
I can't figure out how this is working. I can see that the "callPageFlow" tag
just before this is putting the result of "getXMLStr()" into the "xml" variable.
This string looks like this:
<employees>
<employee title=\"CEO\"><first>Mary</first><last>Smith</last></employee>
<employee title=\"President\"><first>Mark</first><last>Jones</last></employee>
<employee title=\"Vice President\"><first>Matt</first><last>Nelson</last></employee>
<employee title=\"Salesperson\"><first>John</first><last>Doe</last></employee>
<employee title=\"Office Manager\"><first>Jane</first><last>Doe</last></employee>
</employees>
This usage of the data binding language is a little unusual, but I would assume
it's documented somewhere, right?

I had already read that description. It has just about one sentence that covers
the ability to reference elements of an XML string, but without giving any usable
details. I was already convinced that this and direct variable references were
worth avoiding, I just wanted to understand the extent of the available features
first. I guess the lack of any documentation on referencing elements in XML strings
will make it easier to deprecate :) .

David--
A general data binding description is here:
http://edocs.bea.com/workshop/docs81/doc/en/workshop/guide/netui/guide/conDatabindingXScript.html
This help topic describes the NetUI data binding contexts and how
properties / objects are
accessed using them. As far as property binding, a question that came
up in the group earlier,
public properties always win over JavaBean properties, so if you expose
data on any Java object
(page flow, global app, form bean, repeated data item) like this:
::::: Controller.jpf
public String foo = "foo";
private String anotherFoo = "another foo";
public String getFoo()
return anotherFoo;
and bind to this in a JSP:
<netui:label value="{pageFlow.foo}"/>
the value "foo" will display in your page because it is a public property.
The specific example that you mention below is a sample of using the
XScript capabilities in the
8.1 NetUI data binding language to bind directly to parts of an XML document
without having turned
the document itself into a JavaBean.
Frankly, I'd encourage you to use a JavaBean centric approach as we
will likely deprecate this
feature in the future in favor of a more XMLBean / JavaBean centric binding
model. The JavaBean
property binding model is also much more in-line with the JSP 2.0 expression
language.
In the same vein, I'd also suggest following the best practice of
exposing JavaBean properties on
your objects instead of using direct binding to fields.
If you have additional specific questions, feel free to post them
here and we can address them as
they come up.
Hope that helps...

for this example , i can get data from javaBean as train's value , but the data is
static , i want to get data from database , but i don't know how to do this . please help me
thanks very much ,again , in advance .

Hi,
<train value="${bindings.StepSno}">
uses Expression Language to bind to the ADf binding object. You can add your own Java bean that accesses the database and reference it in the same way.

Report data binding error with date values

I have CF7.02 with a Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0 SP1 Database
that I connect to using ODBC (FoxPro Driver 6.01.8630.01). I send
my sql results to a CF Report Builder 7.02 PDF report and it works
fine. If I dump the date values before I change them, they look
like the following: {ts '2004-12-20 00:00:00'} . However I have
tried a number of ways of manipulating the date before sending it
to the report, but I continue to get errors. I don't care what
format they go to the report in, since the report reformats them
anyway. I checked to make sure that none of the dates were null.
For example <cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDateTime(#ldCFPrcInputDate#) /> yields values in the
{ts '2004-12-20 00:00:00'} format when I dump the query results to
screen. Where:
ldCFPrcInputDate = 12/20/2004
CreateODBCDateTime(ldCFPrcInputDate) = {ts '2004-12-20
00:00:00'}
ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] = {ts '2004-12-20
00:00:00'}
I get the error:
Report data binding error Unable to get value for field
'prcinputdate' of class 'java.util.Date'.
coldfusion.runtime.OleDateTime -> Date
Not using the CreateODBCDate function for example <cfset
ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] = #ldCFPrcInputDate# /> I
get:
Report data binding error Unable to get value for field
'prcinputdate' of class 'java.util.Date'.
java.lang.String -> Date
Here are some of my failed attempts:
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDateTime(#ldCFPrcInputDate#) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
#ldCFPrcInputDate# />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
DateFormat(CreateODBCDate(#ldCFPrcInputDate#),'mm/dd/yyyy') />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate(DateFormat(#ldCFPrcInputDate#,'mm/dd/yyyy') />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate(DateFormat(#ldCFPrcInputDate#,'mm-dd-yyyy') />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
Trim(createODBCDateTime(ldtmpdate)) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate({05-07-2006}) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate('{05-07-2006}') />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate(05/07/2006) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate('05/07/2006')/>
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate(parseDateTime('05/07/2006')) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
parseDateTime(CreateODBCDateTime(05/07/2006)) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
parseDateTime(CreateODBCDateTime('#ldCFPrcInputDate#')) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] = '{05-07-2006}'
/>
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] = '{05/07/2006}'
/>
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] = '05/07/2006'
/>
I also did some googling without success. Any help is
appreciated.

You may want to make sure that the column is not included in
the query variable list in your report cfr file.
The newest version of the Report Builder, which may be
installed on the server, no longer tolerates vars appearing in that
list of they are not in the query itselft.

Data Binding for Custom Controls?

Hello,
I'm a little bit confused of how to use databinding for custom controls.
I know i can bind a property, as seen here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_uiaddon10/helpdata/en/91/f0f3cd6f4d1014b6dd926db0e91070/content.htm, but how can I map whole arrays?
My problem is the following:
I want to create a custom table control in SAPUI5 (as the default one doesn't provide the neccessary options and properties I need), but I can't seem to find an example how to bind "rows".
There has to be a way to do this properly. All I can think of now, and implemented, is, passing the name of the variable in the model...
var x = new my.controls.complex.table({data: "/status"});
var row1 = new my.controls.complex.columnHeaderRow();
row1.addColumn(new my.controls.complex.column({text: "", rowspan: "2", colspan: "1", content: "FIRST_COL"}));
x.addColumnsRow(row1);
x.placeAt("content");
...my JSON/model looks like:
{ "status": [ {"FIRST_COL": "a" , ...}, {"FIRST_COL": "b", ... }, ... ], ... }
(which should translate into /status/0/FIRST_COL, /status/1/FIRST_COL, ... AFAIK)
... and then I use this variable name by getting the application-wide model and use the variable passed as key for the model... (please note, this code is just a snippet)
       var sapCore = sap.ui.getCore();
            if (sapCore !== undefined) {
             var model = sapCore.getModel().getObject();
             if (model === undefined || model == [] || model == null){ } else {
              $.each(model, function(idx, item){
               $.each(oControl.getColumnsRows(), function(idx, item2) {
                $.each(item2.getColumns(), function(idx, item3){
                 var content = item3.getContent();
                 if (content !== undefined && content != ""){
                  outpLine = outpLine + "<td>" + model[idx][content] + "</td>";
...which still leaves me with the problem of to get an event to react to re-render on changes within the data model, as well as when there would be just an control-specific model, or just a sub-node within a model etc.
So my question is:
Is there a way/best practice to define data binding in a custom control and have a way to react on it, and how to react on data changes within a custom control?
Thanks & KR
Chris

I create a entirely new control, from sap.ui.core.Control.
sap.ui.core.Control.extend("my.controls.complex.table",{... });
I did define a aggregation...
        aggregations : { columnsRows: {type : "my.controls.complex.columnRow", multiple : true, visibility: "public"}     },
...yet I'm still unclear how I work with this aggregation and databinding. I know we can use the bindAggreation functionallity, but since the aggregation is a object (my.control.complex.columnRow) I don't know how my JSON model should be able to bind to that aggregation (as well as how would one be able to cascade a aggregation like this down futher? For example if there is an aggregation in the object of my aggregation?), plus it still doesn't solve my problem of how I can react (for example redraw) on model changes.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
