Finding a View Object...

Hi All,
How to find a view Object in Controller Class...
Please let me know...

Hi,
View object can be accessed through the page's Application module method.
E.g.
OAApplicationModule am1 = oapagecontext.getApplicationModule(oawebbean);
OAViewObject vo2 = (OAViewObject)am1.findViewObject("YOUR_VIEW_OBJECT_NAME");
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
AD

To find out the last row that is updated in a View Object

Hi OAF Gurus,
I have requirement like,
I have to find out the last row that is updated on a particular View Object and I have send a mail to the users about the change.
JegSAMassMobVOImpl vo = getJegSAMassMobVO1();
JegSAMassMobVO is the View Object Name and it displays certain rows that has already been added to the VO in the Page.
Now the issue is when a user updates a particular row,I have to find which row gets updated and have to send a email to that particular employee about the change.
Just want to know,how to find out the last updated row in a particular VO.
Any Help would be appreciated as this a immediate requirement.
Regards,
Magesh.M.K.

Hi Magesh
It shoud be a Advanced table ,so when user will update the row ,the specific row will fire the PPR and on that event u can capture the row using row reference ,this is the sample code below
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean); OAApplicationModule am =
(OAApplicationModule)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
String event = pageContext.getParameter("event");
if ("<ItemPPREventName>").equals(event))
// Get the identifier of the PPR event source row
String rowReference =
pageContext.getParameter(OAWebBeanConstants.EVENT_SOURCE_ROW_REFERENCE);
Serializable[] parameters = { rowReference };
// Pass the rowReference to a "handler" method in the application module.
262
am.invokeMethod("<handleSomeEvent>", parameters);
In your application module's "handler" method, add the following code to access the source row:
OARow row = (OARow)findRowByRef(rowReference);
if (row != null)
Thanks

Finding Application Module name in read-only view object classes

Hi all,
I have a fairly basic question about finding application module name when we are coding in ViewObject java classes.
I want to know how can I obtain <<application module>> NAME that our current view object is contained in it at run-time. I think there should be a way to find current application module NAME, when we are in ViewObject classes including View Object, View Row or view object definition classes (I've overridden all mentioned classes).
I should notify that since our view object is read-only I may not count on view object's entity classes, coz as you know a read-only view object don't have any entity in it!
So, if you have any idea about finding current application module name in view object java classes please let me know.
Appreciate for your replies,
Nasser

Thanks guy, it was helpful:)
Now i can access application module name through viewObject classes.
But another question is raised...sorry if i m boring:( I promise its the final question ;)
Is there a way to get application module name in an extended version of JboException class?
Thanks again for your reply:)
Nasser

Re: [iPlanet-JATO] Re: onBeforeRequest(); Finding requested view from requestContext

If you want to stop a JATO request in its tracks, you have a little black
magic at your disposal: you can throw a CompleteRequestException. This
indicates to the JATO infrastructure that it should immeditately stop
handling the request, but not generate an error, as the develper has taken
full control. You can generally throw this error from anywhere, at any
point--it is a RuntimeException, and is "tunneled" through other exception
handlers where appropriate.
In your scenario, you want to check if the user is logged in, and if not,
save the target URL using the parsePathInfo() method. Then, forward to the
login page and then throw a CompleteRequestException.

I guess what I am thinking about doing is capturing the requested URL,
i.e. /appname/modulename/RequestName. In the onBeforeRequest(). I
would then check to see if the user is logged in, and if not, set the
URL in the session(or page session of the Login bean) and forward to
the Login viewbean using the viewbean manager. Inside the login view
in the handleSubmit() method I would authenticate the user and then
get the URL out of the session (or pagesession). I would then
magically get the ViewBean/Command object for the URL or otherwise
"forward the request" as if the user had typed in
/appname/modulename/RequestName, which is the behavior I am trying to
acheive.
It turns out I cannot forward in the onBeforeRequest() as it will
output the viewbean and then continue to process the request which in
turn trys to do a RequestDispatcher().forward after data has been
written to the stream which does not bode well with the servlet
container. Thus, it appears I have no control of the request in the
onBeforeRequest() method. Is this correct?
In light of this new observation I am now going to create a base view
class that all views will extend from and override the
onSecurityCheck() method to forward to my login bean. If I can't find
any other way, I will get the URL from the page session and do a
response.sendRedirect() to the URL.
Thanks for the help!

What you do know is which "page" (view bean) the request is coming from

So you can get the view bean name by doing the following inonBeforeRequest:

But I suspect this is not going to solve your current issue.
You could add the target page name to the page session. If there ismore
than one possible target page, it might get a little more involved.
Let me know if the use of page session needs further explanation.

ExecuteQuery method of view object taking much time to execute

Hi All,
I am using a view object and execute the VO query using executeQuery method in VOImpl java.

ADF forms based on BPM human tasks - Invoking webservices/view objects.

Hi All,
Is anyone aware of whether the following is a valid implementation that has been carried out before.
1. ADF forms based on BPM 11G human tasks.
2.The ADF forms invoke webservices via Webservice data controls. It is pertinent to note that the webservice bring back complex data types. We've tried writing a few forms, resulting in data benig brought back, but not being able to print them to the screen.
3. The ADF forms also use View Object based on sql to bring back tables of data. If view objects are embedded within the forms, the applciation gives rise to a null pointer exception.
Considering the form will be invoked via a BPM worklist entry, is there a setting or configuration we should consider before hand. Is this feasible, is there knowledge of this being done commercially.
Any examples or information regarding the same will be immensely helpful.
Thanks and Regards,
Preethi.
NB : I have posted this in the BPM forum as well as I feel it is relevant to both BPM and ADF.

Hi Joonas.
Plese let me explain me better for your understanding
A big summary for what I meant it's the following:
1- In the procces you made, when you add the HT activity, you have to implement it, this means declare the input(s) parameters you want. This implementation create the .task file.
2- Create an application, and projects as HT you have. Each poject are based on the .task file, and automatically create a Data Control (for each project based on a .task) with all you need.
This w'll be an empty application, so you can customize it all you want. The task selected should have all the parameters previously defined. Those parameters can change if you want.
2- Create a page(s) in the task flow for the task implementation. You can even split the the payload of the task in differents pages, create your custom pages and any logic you need.
3- An important aspect is how to match these application with the HT implemented in the process. It's possible, it's a configuration en the Enterprise Manager.
4- Deploy your application
All these are explain in the book I mentioned
Th book you can find it here:

Problem with 2 View Objects based on One Entity -Probably a Bug in ADF BC

Hi
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3(SU5) and adf faces and ADF BC and to explain my problem I use HR schema.
First, I created 2 view objects based on countries table named as TestView1 and TestView2. I set TestView1 query where clause to region_id=1 and TestView2 query where clause to region_id!=1 in the view object editor and then I created 2 separated form on these 2 view objects by dragging and dropping from data control palette.
Now when I insert a record in the form based on TestView1 with region_id set to 1 and commit the record and go to the next form I can see the record in the second form which is completely wrong since it is against the where clause statement of the second form.
I am really confused and the situation is very wired and it seems to me something like bug in adf bc.Am I right.Is there any work around or solution for solving this problem.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Navid

Dear Frank,
Thank you very much for your quick response.
Reading your helpful comments now I have some questions:
1- I have commited the record in the database so shouldn't the query of view objects be re-queried?
2- We try to use ClearVOCaches (entity_name,false) in afterCommit of the base entity object but unfortunately it does not work correctly. after that,We got root app module and used findViewObject method to find all the view of that entity (we have found them by using name not automaticlly) and called executeQuery of all views. From my point of view it has 2 big disadvantages. First suppose that this entity is an important entity and 4 or 5 viow objects are based on it. Now, For inserting one record we should re-execute 4 or 5 view which I think makes some performance issues. Besides, If during the development one programmer add a new view object based on this entity and don't add the executeQuery in the afterCommit for this view, again we have the same problem. Isn't there at least a way that automatically refresh all related view objects however the performance issue still exists.
3- You mentioned that this issue is handled in the developer guide. Could you kindly give me a refrence which developer guide you mean and which section I should read to overcome this problem.(I have ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developer's Guide , however I search for clearVOCaches and surprisingly nothing was found!!!)
4- Could you please give me some hints that from your point of view what is the best method to solve this problem with minimum performance effect.
Any comment would be of some great help.
Thanks in advance,
Navid

Can Designer generate ADF Entity Objects, View Objects and Apps Module ?

Hi all,
On what way can Designer integrate with JDeveloper (+ ADF) ?
Can Designer generate ADF Entity Objects, View Objects and Apps Module ?
Thank you for your help,
xtanto

Designer itself has no direct integration with JDeveloper. However, there are three options. First of all, you can get a JDeveloper extension (download this separately) that lets you create a Connection to a Designer repository. From that Connection you can find modules that you defined in Designer and generate Entity and View objects for the tables and columns that you used in those modules, and an Application Module. It does not create JSPs or other user interface objects.
Another option is to buy JHeadstart from Oracle. This contains a set of code generators and ADF extensions that include an ability to get information from a Designer repository. JHeadstart works fine for non-Designer users too, but was built by the same people who wrote Designer Headstart - they know the repository API intimately.
The third option is to download Oracle Designer Extension Builder (ODEB) which was just recently made available. This is a product of a collaboration between Designer users from the Oracle Development Tools Users Group (ODTUG) and Oracle to extend the capabilities of Designer with user written tools and utilities. You could use ODEB to write your own generators for ADF Business Components. Or you could wait and see if someone else in the user community does this. I hope that you or whoever does such a generator will be willing to share it with us all.

ADF BC View Objects: Disappearing where clauses

Playing around with the 11g Technical Preview I find out that sometimes the where clauses - added to View Objects by means of the new "Join Type" field in the VO-editor UI - disappear.
I'm not able to reproduce exactly and "on demand", but it seems to happen when the sources of more than one View Object are open simultaneously and/or the XML definition of a View Object is edited directly on the Source-tab.

Today I succeeded in reproducing:
Two tables:
TAB_MASTER:
ID NUMBER NOT NULL
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2 NOT NULL
TAB_DETAIL:
ID NUMBER NOT NULL
MASTER_ID NUMBER NOT NULL
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2 NOT NULL
TAB_DETAIL.MASTER_ID is a foreign key referencing TAB_MASTER.ID.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Generate default ADF BC objects from database tables.
2. Open definition of TAB_DETAIL View Object.
3. Go to the Entity Objects tab
4. Add TAB_MASTER Entity Object to the Selected Entities Objects. Association and Join Type are filled in automatically.
5. Go to the Query tab and go to SQL tab in de Property Inspector. Where clause is filled.
6. Go to the Attributes tab and click Add from Entity...
7. Add TAB_MASTER.DESCRIPTION attribute.
8. Again, go to the Query tab and go to SQL tab in de Property Inspector. Where clause is still filled.
9. Go to the Attributes tab and select MASTER_ID attribute.
10. Click icon to add List Of Values
11. In List Of Values dialog add View Object TAB_MASTER and add the correct pairs of List Return Values for the ID and (MASTER) DESCRIPTION attributes.
12. After completing the List Of Values dialog go to the Query tab -> SQL tab again. The where clause added to join the Entity Objects (see step 5.) is cleared, resulting in a wrong SQL statement for the View Object.

Modify view object at responsibility level

Hello,
One of our business requirements is to change the drop-down values for several list of values based on the responsibility the user is logged in with. For example when creating a new application, the LOV 'Country' needs to list certain countries under the responsibility A and other countries under the responsibility B.
In order to accomodate this requirement, I have created an extension to the VO oracle.apps.igs.utilities.server.countriesVO that can be found on the create application page. I have tried two different approaches:
Approach 1:
I have modified the SQL code and used the import utility jpximport to enable the substitution and everything works fine EXCEPT that the substitution is done at the site level, not the responsibility level. There are no options to enable the substitution at the responsibility level.
I tried changing the MDS repository. After initial substitution, the query
BEGIN jdr_utils.printDocument('/oracle/apps/igs/utilities/server/customizations/site/0/CountriesVO'); END;
returns the XML for personalization (substitution). I deleted that entry using
BEGIN jdr_utils.deleteDocument('/oracle/apps/igs/utilities/server/customizations/site/0/CountriesVO'); END;
and used the import utility to import the XML at the responsibility level. the query
BEGIN jdr_utils.printDocument('/oracle/apps/igs/utilities/server/customizations/responsibility/23331/CountriesVO'); END;
returns the correct XML but the extension doesnt appear on the screen.
Do you know what I am missing and if it is possible to enable substitutions at the responsibility level (not site level) at all?
Approach 2:
I am still implementing the View Object extension but I am modifying the SQL code to handle the responsibility:
Original SQL Code:
SELECT territory_short_name,territory_code
FROM fnd_territories_vl
Updated SQL Code:
SELECT territory_short_name,territory_code
FROM fnd_territories_vl
WHERE fnd_global.resp_name <> 'A' OR fnd_global.resp_name IS NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT description as territory_short_name,territory_code
FROM fnd_territories_vl
WHERE fnd_global.resp_name = 'B'
ORDER BY 1
I used the import utility jpximport to enable the substitution and everything works fine EXCEPT that the View Object gets cached and the SQL statement is only executed the first time the object is called. If I clear the cache and I log in using the responsibility A then the countries are correctly displayed. If I login using the responsibility B then the countries for responsibility A are displayed. Same occurs if I clear the cache, login using responsibility B first then switch to responsibility A. Countries for responsibility B are always displayed.
We need to find a way for the SQL to be re-executed every time this object is called. This object should not be cached. Is that possible at all?
Thank you for your help
Benoit

Substitution of VO & AM will can be done only at site level. However controller extension can be personalized/substituted at any level, which includes responsibility level also.
Thanks,

JSP, Data Web Bean, BC4J: Setting the where clause of a View Object at run time

Hi,
I am trying to develop a data web bean in which the where clause of a View Object will be set at run time and the results of the query then displayed.
My BC4J components are located in one project while the coding for the data web bean is in another project. I used the following code bu t it does not work. Could you please let me know what I am doing wrong?
public void populateOSTable(int P_EmpId)
String m_whereString = "EmpView.EMP_ID = " + P_EmpId;
String m_OrderBy = "EmpView.EMP_NAME";
oracle.jbo.ApplicationModule appModule = null;
ViewObject vo = appModule.findApplicationModule("EMPBC.EMPAppModule").findViewObject("EMPBC.EMPView");
vo.setWhereClause(m_whereString);
vo.setOrderByClause(m_OrderBy);
vo.executeQuery();
vo.next();
String empName numAttrs = vo.getAttribute(EmpName);
System.out.println(empName);
Thanks.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by JDev Team (Laura):
Here is how I have usually done mine:
1. In the JSP, use a RowsetNavigator bean to set the where clause and execute the query.
2. Use a custom web bean to process the results of the query (print to HTML).
for example:
<jsp:useBean class="oracle.jbo.html.databeans.RowsetNavigator" id="rsn" scope="request" >
<%
// get the parameter from the find form
String p = request.getParameter("p");
String s = request.getParameter("s");
// store the information for reference later
session.putValue("p", p);
session.putValue("s", s);
// initialize the app module and view object
rsn.initialize(application,session, request,response,out,"wt_bc_WT_bcModule.wtjoinView");
// set the where clause string
String theclause = "presname = '" + p + "' AND slideno=" + s;
// set the where clause for the VO
rsn.getRowSet().getViewObject().setWhereClause(theclause);
rsn.getRowSet().getViewObject().executeQuery();
rsn.getRowSet().first();
%>
</jsp:useBean>
<jsp:useBean class="wt_bc.walkthruBean" id="wtb" scope="request" >
<%
// initialize the app module and VO
wtb.initialize(application,session, request,response,out,"wt_bc_WT_bcModule.wtjoinView");
wtb.render();
%>
In this case, the render method of my custom web bean mostly gets some session variables, and prints various content depending on the session variable values.
Hope this helps.

Laura can you give the code of your walkthru bean? i wna't to initialize a viewobject, set the where clause and give that viewobject back to initialize my navigatorbar.

Dynamic view object loses bind variables after passivation

I am creating a view object definition/view object programmatically in Jdev 11.1.1.2.0. The query requires a named bind parameter. All was working fine but now I am testing with app module pooling disabled and the bind variable is not being restored after passivation -- it's like the definition has disappeared or something.
Here is my VO creation code:
ViewObject vo = findViewObject("FinalistsWithEvalDataVO");
if (vo != null){
vo.remove();
ViewDefImpl voDef = new ViewDefImpl("FinalistsWithEvalDataVODef");
     // I add a bunch of viewAttrs here...
voDef.setQuery(fullQuery);
voDef.setFullSql(true);
voDef.setBindingStyle(SQLBuilder.BINDING_STYLE_ORACLE_NAME);
voDef.resolveDefObject();
voDef.registerDefObject();
vo = createViewObject("FinalistsWithEvalDataVO", voDef);
vo.defineNamedWhereClauseParam("Bind_SchlrAyId", null, new int[] {0});
vo.setNamedWhereClauseParam("Bind_SchlrAyId", new Number(1)); //For testing
vo.executeQuery();
The query executes fine right there and then the VO seems to passivate fine. I even see the bind var in passivation:
<exArgs count="1">
<arg name="Bind_SchlrAyId" type="oracle.jbo.domain.Number">
<![CDATA[1]]>
</arg>
</exArgs>
But then when it reactivates prior to rendering the page, it invariably throws a missing parameter exception and this in the log:
<ViewUsageHelper><createViewAttributeDefImpls> [7409] *** createViewAttributeDefImpls: oracle.jdbc.driver.OraclePreparedStatementWrapper@1af78e1
<ViewUsageHelper><createViewAttributeDefImpls> [7410] Bind params for ViewObject: [FinalistsWithEvalDataVO]AwardViewingServiceAM.FinalistsWithEvalDataVO
<ViewUsageHelper><createViewAttributeDefImpls> [7411] ViewUsageHelper.createViewAttributeDefImpls failed...
<ViewUsageHelper><createViewAttributeDefImpls> [7412] java.sql.SQLException: Missing IN or OUT parameter at index:: 1
I have worked on this for hours and can't see anything wrong. Like I said, it works fine when not forcing passivation...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
-Ed

@Jobinesh - Thanks for the suggestions. I have read all the documentation I can find. Everything works fine without passivation. Everything still breaks with passivation. I have given up on trying to get the bind variable to restore after passivation and am currently just building the query with all values embedded in the query rather than bind variables. This is bad practice but avoids the problem. However, now that I avoided that obstacle, I'm on to the next issue with passivation of this dynamic view object, which is that the current row primary key apparently cannot be reset after activation. I get the following error:
<Key><parseBytes> [7244] Key(String, AttributeDef[]): Invalid Key String found. AttributeCount:1 does not match Key attributes
<DCBindingContainer><reportException> [7254] oracle.jbo.InvalidParamException: JBO-25006: Value 00010000000A30303033383133343734 passed as parameter String to method Constructor:Key is invalid: {3}.

     at oracle.jbo.server.ViewRowSetIteratorImpl.activateIteratorState(ViewRowSetIteratorImpl.java:3877)
I've been trying various workarounds for over a day now with no luck. Very frustrating.
Thanks for trying to help.

Get bind variables of a dynamic view object

I seem unable to retrieve the bind variables for a dynamically created view object, even though I can do the same thing for a regular view object.
Here is the code:
newVO = repServ.createViewObjectFromQueryStmt("newQry",strSql);
VariableValueManager vvm = newVO.ensureVariableManager();
if (vvm != null)
Variable vars[] = vvm.getVariables();
vars will be empty, even though the sql statement in strSql has bind variables in it.
Is there any way to determine the bind variables of a dynamic view object?
Thanks!

I got the same problem as yours and still could not find any way out.
However, as I can see, you wanted to get VariableValueManager of newly created ViewObject that may be not available at this moment.
If you find way to solve the problem, please help.

RowSetInfo; bc4j; how to get the View Object

So I'm trying to get/update/insert/delete records in a database that contain an interMedia image in a blob.
I've figured out that I can't simply set the ImmediateAccess attribute. It doesn't like that...
So I'm trying to go after the view object, since the interMedia white paper uses a VO row setAttribute to accomplish the write.
RowSetInfo extends ResultSetInfo which has a method getViewObject(). Cool.
So I try it... and get an error that getViewObject() has protected access.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong? Or should I be even taking this approach?!?!?!
If I go exclusively with the VO layer... how do I preserve the navigationBar functionality? Or do I need to roll my own?
( NOTE: This hilights another example of the perception of 'friction' between rowsetinfos and the view objects/entity objects. An approach that makes "sense" to me as a naive novice didn't pan out. And oddly, most of the bc4j examples go against VOs when, if you are an application programmer, you may never see or use the VO methods ( although it looks like we should be)... we're working at the ResultSetInfo layer. )
Is the the observation of other folk who are building Java Applications/Applets? Or do you all work directly with VOs instead of going through the ResultSetInfo "layer"?

Here is some sample code that I am currently working on and will post on OTN when complete. The code shows how to access a BC4J Domain based on an Oracle type. Working with interMedia is similar since interMedia utilizes Oracle Object types. Please note that I have not tested this yet against interMedia, but I'm hoping that you may find the general process useful.

How To change the ADF View Object query where-clause at RunTime?

I am trying to create a simple display page which will display user data (username, assoc_dist_id, assoc_agent_id, status , etc). The User data is stored in a database table and i am using an ADF Read Only table based on the View Object to display the data on the JSF page.
However, i want to display only the users that a particular person accessing the page has the AUTH LEVEL to see. e.g. If the person accessing the page is an 'ApplicationAdministrator' then the page should display all users in the table, If its a 'DistributorAdministrator' then the page should display only users associated with that Distributor (i.e. assoc_dist_id = :p_Dist_id ) and If its an 'AgentAdministrator' , then the page should display only users associated with that Agent ( i.e. assoc_agent_id = :p_Agent_id).
Currently my af:table component displays all the users in the table because the query for the view object is (select * from users) . However, i want to use the same viewobject and just set the where-clause at runtime with the appropriate parameter to restrict the dataset returned.
Do anyone knows how to accomplish this ?

David,
See the custom method initializeDynamicVariableDefaults() in the SRViewObjectImpl.java class in the FrameworkExtentions project in the SRDemoSampleADFBC sample application. You can find out how to install the demo if you haven't already from the ADF Learning Center at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/learnadf.html
This class is a framework extension class for view objects that adds a neat, generic feature to be able to dynamic default the value of named bind variables. You can read more about what framework extension classes are and how to use them in Chapter 25, "Advanced Business Components Techniques" of the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers, also available at the learning center above.
It is an example of generic framework functionality that "kicks in" based on the presence of custom metadata properties on a named bind variable. See section 25.3.3 "Implementing Generic Functionality Driven by Custom Properties" in the dev guide for more details. Using this sample code, if you add a bind variable to a view object, and define a custom metadata property named "DynamicDefaultValue" on that bind variable, and set this custom metadata property to the value "CurrentUser", then that bind variable will have its value dynamically defaulted to the name of the authenticated user logged in. If instead you set this custom property to the value "UserRole", then the bind variable will be set to the comma-separated string containing the list of roles that the authenticated user is part of.
Once you've created a framework extension class for view objects like this, you can have the view objects you create inherit this generic functionality.See section 25.1.4 "How to Base an ADF Component on a Framework Extension Class" in the dev guide for more info on this.
By adapting a technique like this (or some idea similar that better suits your needs) you can have your view object query contain bind variables whose values automatically take on the defaults based on something in the user-session environment.
