Help on oracle tags inside dynamic pages

Hi All
I have used dynamic pages like this , i create a html form inside a dynamic page on submit of which a procedure gets called & inserts the values in the table.
I see some <oracle> tags every time i create a dynamic page but have never used them. Could some one tell how to use these tags. whether they can be used to call a procedure or can i embed any dml statements in these oracle tags.
Kindly somebody could explain it with an example.

There is a brief description in the online help - see http://isd-demos2.oracle.com:7778/help/wvtdynam.htm.
You can also search this forum - there have been many examples posted here.
If you have further questions about dynamic pages, the Portal Applications forum would be a better place to post them.

Hi,
You can do all that you can do in a plsql block.
Here is an example which paints a form for the employee records and submits them. On submit a procedure submit_form is called.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM action="<schema name>.submit_form" method="post">
<H2>Example of A Dynamic Page</H2>
<ORACLE>
begin
for c1 in (select * from scott.emp )
loop
     htp.p(c1.empno);
     htp.p(c1.ename);
     htp.p(c1.deptno);
     htp.p(c1.hiredate);
     htp.p(c1.sal);
     htp.p('<input type="hidden" name="p_empno" value='||c1.empno||'>');
     htp.p('<input type="text" name="p_comm">');
     htp.p('<br>');
end loop;

ORACLE Tags in Dynamic Pages

In the beta version, a Dynamic Page could be developed that did not contain the Oracle tags, <ORACLE> and </ORACLE>. The production version appears to require the use of these tags.
I've tried to work around this by using <ORACLE> select ' ' from dual</ORACLE> which gave me a blank, but with a different color background and <ORACLE>htp.br;</ORACLE> which Oracle Portal would not accept.
Any suggestions on how to create a Dynamic Page where the Oracle tags do not impact the display of the page?

How to use HTML tags inside JSF pages

I am creating a Menu using dataTable and outputLink in a JSF page.
<div class="bodyarea">
<div id="location">
<ol>
<h:dataTable value="#{menuItem.breadCrumb}" var="bread" >
<h:column>
<li>
<h:outputLink id="crumbID" value="#{bread.menuLink}">
<h:outputText id="crumpName" value="#{bread.menuLabel}" style="width: 165px;"/>
</h:outputLink>
<li>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
</ol>
</div>
</div>
I want to use <li> HTML tag as shown in code above before and after every <tr> tag formed, but when i run it and see view source, this is how it shows:
NOTE: you can see it has thrown out of <table> tag itself.
<div class="bodyarea">
<div id="location">
<ol>
<li>
</li>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><a id="_id0:0:crumbID" href="/eApps/admin/loginPage.jsp?MenuItem=-1"><span id="_id0:0:crumpName" style="width: 165px;">Home</span></a></td>
</tr>
<tr>

</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

</div>
</div>
Can some one help me, how do i use HTML tags inside <h:dataTable>.
Or is their any other way i should form my Menus, to fully utilize to HTML tags.
Thanks
Ravi

Hello,
You can embed the verbatim elements in your datatable, ie,
<h:dataTable value="#{menuItem.breadCrumb}" var="bread" >
<h:column>
    <f:verbatim><li></f:verbatim>
    <h:outputLink id="crumbID" value="#{bread.menuLink}">
      <h:outputText id="crumpName" value="#{bread.menuLabel}" style="width: 165px;"/>
    </h:outputLink>
    <f:verbatim></li></f:verbatim>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>

Struts - HTML:link tag with dynamic page attribute?

I am trying to use the html:link but the page value is dynamic (resulting from the bean within the iterate tag). The code below doesn't work - error. Is there a way to use all Struts tags and make this happen. Any ideas?
        <logic:iterate id="myMenuForm" property="menuItem" scope="session" name="menuForm" >          <html:link page="<bean:write name="myMenuForm" property="menuDisplayName"/>">                  <bean:write name="myMenuForm" property="menuDisplayName"/>          </html:link>        </logic:iterate> Thanks,
mlv

Thanks for all your help. Based on all you your comments, it is now working
and I thought I would provide some details about how I got it working.
There are not that many examples within the Struts documentation.
id = unique name for the object that can be referenced within the iterate
tag.
name = is the Bean, in this case it's the ActionForm, that contains the List
object that will be iterated. In my case, I have a ActionForm that contains
a List property that contains all the menu item rows from the databse.
property = is the property name within the ActionForm that is the List
object. Links to the getter method
Within the <bean:write> tag you use the id name to get a handle on the final
object from the iterate tag and the property is one of the property values
within the bean that is contained within the List.
So in this case I have a ActionForm bean that contains a List property that
contains a collection of beans.
FormAction - bean
property menuItems of type List contains:
- row 1 = bean (with a property of menuDisplayName)
- row 2 = bean (with a property of menuDisplayName)
- row 3 = bean (with a property of menuDisplayName)
Here's the JSP code for the tag.
        <logic:iterate id="myMenuForm" name="menuForm" property="menuItem" >
          <html:link page="www.yahoo.com"/>
                  <bean:write name="myMenuForm" property="menuDisplayName"/>
          </html:link>
        </logic:iterate>Now I would like to make the <html:link> page attribute value dynamic from
the iterate bean. Therefore, you can make the url for the link dynamic If
you know how to do that, please feel free to provide some help.

Help with HTML tags and web page creating

I have a project that is supposed to use an HTML class we make. He has given us the basics but we have to fill it in. My question is: How do you code a value that has been passed to a method into an html tag. For instance we have one that is called makeEmail and it is supposed to place an email address on a webpage. Here is the method, I just need to figure out how to code it correctly. Any suggestions on how to do this?
public void makeEmail(String address)
webPage += "" + address + "";
}

An email tag in html is very similar to a hyperlink. The string you want the makeEmail method to create is as follows:
<a href="mailto:(email address")>(email address or description or whatevber you want displayed on screen)</a>So using for example my email address, you use the following line:
<a href="mailto:[email protected]">Send an email to Mr_Silly</a>It is very much worth looking into an html tutorial, try searching for one on the web, cos there a thousands out there. It is a very simple language to learn.

Wwctx_api.get_user in Dynamic Page?

Can API calls be made from select statements within the <ORACLE></ORACLE> tags in Dynamic Pages? The following query should list courses that someone has signed up for but the query cannot be saved within the Dynamic Page:
<ORACLE>
select course_name
from course
where user_id = wwctx_api.get_user
</ORACLE>

Jay,
Just prefix the function with "PORTAL30" (or the name of the schema where Portal is installed, if not PORTAL30).
<ORACLE>
select course_name
from course
where user_id = PORTAL30.wwctx_api.get_user

Has anyone tried changing the color of the table header in Dynamic Pages?

When you generate the sample Dynamic Page you get a table header with the color of #C0C0A0.
Has anyone ever found where this value is coming from within the database ?
I'd like to change it so I can control the background color in the TH tag for Dynamic Pages.
TIA
Mark.

You probabli dispay the data as
<oracle> select empno,empname from scott.emp</oracle>
However, you could do it like this:
<oracle>
being
htp.p('<table>');
htp.p('<tr>');
htp.p('<td bgcolor=#ffaabb>empno</td>');
htp.p('<td bgcolor=#ffaabb>empname</td>');
htp.p('</tr>');
for c in (select empno,empname from scott.emp) loop
htp.p('<tr>');
htp.p('<td>');
htp.p(c.empno);
htp.p('</td>');
htp.p('<td>');
htp.p(c.empname);
htp.p('</td>');
htp.p('</tr>');
end loop;
htp.p('</table>');
end;
</oracle>
htp is package in sys schema in oracle.

Dynamic Page parameters

Please help.
I have 2 dynamic pages and I want to pass parameters between them
in the 1st dynamic page I have:
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="url/owner.dyn_crt_login.show">
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=P_Login_In ID=P_Login_In>Login
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=P_Pswd_In ID=P_Pswd_In>Pswd
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=P_St_In ID=P_St_In>State
<INPUT Type="submit" value="submit">
</FORM>
In the 2nd dynamic page I have 3 bind variables I am using
:p_login_in, :p_pswd_in, and :p_st_in
I get the following error when I click the Submit button:
owner.dyn_crt_login.show: SIGNATURE (parameter names) MISMATCH
VARIABLES IN FORM NOT IN PROCEDURE: P_LOGIN_IN,P_PSWD_IN,P_ST_IN
NON-DEFAULT VARIABLES IN PROCEDURE NOT IN FORM:
DAD name: portal30
PROCEDURE : owner.dyn_crt_login.show
URL : http:url/owner.dyn_crt_login.show
PARAMETERS :
============
P_LOGIN_IN:
Nancy
P_PSWD_IN:
TANNER
P_ST_IN:
IN
Thanks
Nancy

Hi,
You cannot hide the parameters in the url. The GET method works like that. You can use the POST method to submit the parameters. But in your case the POST method may be not be appropriate.
Thanks,

ORACLE tags in Templates vs Dynamic Pages

Hello all,
I have a procedure that prints the Portal version:
Create or Replace PROCEDURE MATSTESTSCHEMA.SHOW_PORTAL_VERSION
as
l_ver varchar2(20);
BEGIN
l_ver := portal30.wwctx_api.get_product_version();
htp.print(l_ver);
END;
I can call this procedure successfully from a Dynamic Page with
the following embedded syntax in the HTML code:
<ORACLE>
BEGIN
MATSTESTSCHEMA.SHOW_PORTAL_VERSION;
END;
</ORACLE>
I want to use some procedure calls in my templates as well.
Tried to use the same syntax as above but it does NOT work.
The whole code block between the <ORACLE>-tags seems to be
ignored as soon as a procedure call is included.
A simple syntax like this DOES work in a template:
<ORACLE>
BEGIN
htp.p('hello');
END;
</ORACLE>
Why doesn't it work to call procedures from the templates???
Has anyone alse run into this?
PS! I'm using Portal version 3.0.7.6.2
Will soon upgrade to the latest version...

What I'm trying to do is to do a redirect of a page depending on
some conditions which my PL/SQL procedure can determine. So I
hoped that I could call my procedure from the page template
header and the procedure would print a redirect tag, if
appropriate. Something like this:
Page template (part of..)
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<ORACLE>
BEGIN
MYSCHEMA.DO_REDIRECT;
END;
</HEAD>
The DO_REDIRECT procedure prints the META tag for a redirect of
the browser if it finds it necessary. otherwise it would do
nothing..
<META     HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
     Content     = "30;
     URL=http://www.oracle.com">
But calling procedures from templates as described above does
not seem to work, at least in version 3.0.7.6.2.
(We're in the process of upgrading to the latest version)
Does this work in 3.0.9 ?
...or does anyone know a better way to do this?
Any advice is really apreciated.

Dynamic Page / Oracle Tags/ Javascript

I'm attempting to insert values from an Oracle database into javascript code that creates a scrolling text area. I'm assuming I need to use <oracle></oracle> tags to do so, but I'm not sure exactly how to populate what I need in the code. Any ideas?
The code is below. The area that needs to be populated with the data is in the Array variable, and I've used "Database Value 1, 2, 3" as placeholders.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
     <title>Untitled</title>
<style TYPE="text/css">
     
     </style>
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
          var TS_message = new Array();
TS_message[0] = '<div align="left">Database Value 1</div>';
     TS_message[1] = '<div align="left">Database Value 2</div>';
          TS_message[2] = '<div align="left">Database Value 3</div>';
var TS_scrollwidth=400
          var TS_colorFG = 0x000000;
          var TS_colorBG = 0xFFFFFF;
          var TS_ymax = 50;
          var TS_ystep = 1;
     var TS_speed = 2;
var TS_pause = 100;
          var TS_fadestep= 20;
if (document.all)
document.write('<style>#containerarea{width:'+TS_scrollwidth+'}</style>')
</script>
</head>
<body>
<DIV id="containerarea">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2" SRC="\\Portalapp\ORACLE\iSuites\portal30\java\textfader.js"></SCRIPT>
</DIV>
</body>
</html>

You can write a piece of PL/SQL for
TS_message[0] = '<div align="left">Database Value 1</div>';
TS_message[1] = '<div align="left">Database Value 2</div>';
TS_message[2] = '<div align="left">Database Value 3</div>';
between <ORACLE> tags:
declare
cursor ...
begin
loop for i in cursor loop
htp.p('TS_message[0] = ''<div align="left">'||i.value||'</div>''; ';
end loop;
end;
Hope it helps.

Oracle Portal Dynamic Pages?

I grabbed this from the Primer on Portlets "<b>By simply cutting and pasting the HTML provided by affiliates into Oracle Portal dynamic pages, you can create a portlet specifically for that affiliate program and embed it into your portal.</b>"
How is this Oracle Portal Dynamic Page created?

The dynamic page is a portal application component. You can create one within any portal application that you have been granted edit privileges (for a sample, go to the Navigator, click on the Applications tab and open EXAMPLE APP). For additional information, check out the on-line help (search for dynamic) or glance at the components section of the product features whitepaper: http://technet.oracle.com/products/iportal/pdf/portal_twp.pdf

Servlet with no dynamic code inside jsp pages

Hello,
          I saw that a servlet is created even if there is no dynamic code inside jsp pages (scriplets & tags). Is it possible to avoid it on bea side ? (I am using portal 8).
          By the way, do you know if is it possible to define apache in order to avoid to send to bea the jsp which have no dynamic code inside ?
          thank you !

JSP's always generate a servlet on all web containers. Apache/Tomcat is no
          different. If you have static content, make it an HTML page.

Automated tool to convert from Forms to Dynamic Page for Oracle Portal?

Hi Experts,
We are thinking to convert majority of the forms in our portal to dynamic pages. Is there any tool to automate the conversion from Forms to Dynamic page for Oracle Portal 9.0.4.1.0?
Thanks, Abbas

Dear Abbas,
You seem to have two issues... ;-)
If you are finding the Forms are getting corrupt very easily, I'd suggest you go and open a Service Request into Oracle Support (http://metalink.oracle.com). There are a couple of ways where you can have these not corrupted (depeding on the Portal version you are in) and if there isn't yet a way you may get a bug logged and fixed within the next patchset eventually (improving the product functionality).
As to changing it to a dynamic page it might give you a bit more flexibility... yeah. It really depends on what you desire to do. I'd slowly start to code them in this way if your goal is this. As to the former coded forms unfortunately as I've said there isn't a strait way to do that, so you may do this slowly in time...
I hope it helps you a bit further...
Cheers,
Pedro.
