How to call a bean method in the faces-config file?

Hi,
I would like in my menu to call the method of a bean (it initialize some properties before opening the page) instead of opening directly the page, by I can't find how to do that.
I tried :
<managed-property>
<property-name>viewId</property-name>
<value>#{listInformationsController.listInformations}</value>
</managed-property>
And :
<managed-property>
<property-name>outcome</property-name>
<value>#{listInformationsController.listInformations}</value>
</managed-property>
With no success...
Can someone help me?
Thank you and merry christmas !

Hi,
a managed property only gives you a anlde to a bean or property, it doesn't execute it. To execute a bean, you can use a custom JSF PhaseListener that calls a bean method. The reference to the bean is achieve through value binding
ValueBinding vb = FacesContect.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createValueBinding("Name of Managed Bean);
TypeOfBean theBean =(TypeOfBean) vb.getValue(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());
.... theBean.theMethod() ...

Hi,
Basically, I would like to call a method that I have written in the page java bean, or in the session bean, or application bean, or an external bean, from the javascript events (mouseover, on click, etc...) of a ui jsf component. I.e., I would like to take an action when a user clicks in a column in a datatable.

But, when I use a Button Onclick= to call the script function and which then is going call my bean method
an error on the page is reported!
I have include som code which gives you the idea of what Iam searching for. And is it possible to call
the bean method without doing from a new jsp page?
If you have any suggestions to why it doesnt work, please let me know.
I use Apache Tomcat 4.0
Best regards Micah.

It's actually quite simple:
Beans run server-side
Javascript runs client-side
So you will never be able to run server-side-code thru the client...

How to call a javascript method after the PPR event has finished ?

Hi!
How can we make a javascript method get called after the processing of ADF PPR event?
My specific use case is,
I want to call a javascript function after the data in the table is loaded...
In 10g, that is not a problem, as the data used to get loaded directly during onLoad, and so i would call my js function on load;
but in 11g , the table data is being loaded through PPR which is initiated onload, and so i needed to call my function after the PPR Response processing has been done; for which I need the name of the event triggered at that instance.
Is it possible to do this?
Regards,
Samba

Hey, I got it.
I handled the ADF Controller's PREPARE_RENDER_ID phase of the lifecycle, and then called the
script to get Executed.
The code :
    public void afterPhase(PagePhaseEvent pagePhaseEvent) {
        FacesPageLifecycleContext ctx = (FacesPageLifecycleContext)pagePhaseEvent.getLifecycleContext();
             if (pagePhaseEvent.getPhaseId() == Lifecycle.PREPARE_RENDER_ID) {
                if(AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().isPostback() )
                    afterRender();
    }is written in lifecycle listener , and my backing bean extended this listener ,
and in the afterRender() method I did this :
   public void afterRender(){
            System.out.println("AFTER RENDER CALLED");
           FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
           ExtendedRenderKitService service = (ExtendedRenderKitService)Service.getRenderKitService(context, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
           service.addScript(context, "translate();");
       }That's it.
It did work, magnificently.
Thanks for the idea.

You can make use of the constructor of the backing bean or the @PostConstruct annotation if you want to use managed properties.
You may get some ideas out of this: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2006/06/communication-in-jsf.html].

How to call backing bean method when user tabs out of af:inputListOfValues field

Hi,
I am using jdev 11.1.2.4.
I want to call a backing bean method based on the value selected in the af:inputListOfValues field.
The requirement is similar as Frank Nimphius-Oracle has demonstrated here https://blogs.oracle.com/jdevotnharvest/entry/how_to_notify_the_server but with Input List of Values component.
The fields I want to call method from is
<af:inputListOfValues id="appealNameId"
                      popupTitle="Search and Select: #{bindings.AppealName.hints.label}"
                      value="#{bindings.AppealName.inputValue}"
                      label="#{bindings.AppealName.hints.label}"
                      model="#{bindings.AppealName.listOfValuesModel}"
                      required="#{bindings.AppealName.hints.mandatory}"
                      columns="#{bindings.AppealName.hints.displayWidth}"
                      shortDesc="#{bindings.AppealName.hints.tooltip}"
                      binding="#{backingBeanScope.backing_Donation.appealNameId}"
                      autoSubmit="true" clientComponent="false">
                      <f:validator binding="#{bindings.AppealName.validator}"/>
                      <af:autoSuggestBehavior suggestedItems="#{backingBeanScope.backing_Donation.onSuggestAppeal}"/>
                      <af:clientListener method="onBlurTxtField" type="blur"/>
</af:inputListOfValues>
<af:serverListener type="onBlurNotifyServer"
                   method="#{backingBeanScope.backing_Donation.onBlurNotify}"/>
as you can see, af:serverListener is outside the af:inputListOfValues which probably is the reason its not executing this method?
public void onBlurNotify(ClientEvent clientEvent) {
   // get a hold of the input text component
   RichSelectOneChoice inputTxt = (RichSelectOneChoice) clientEvent.getComponent();
   //do some work on it here (e.g. manipulating its readOnly state)
   //Get access to the payload
   Map parameters = clientEvent.getParameters();
   System.out.println("SubmittedValue = "+parameters.get("submittedValue"));
   System.out.println("LocalValue = "+parameters.get("localValue"));
I've tried to put serverListener tag inside the <af:inputListOfValues> but getting below error
"Server Listener is not valid child of Input List of Values"
any ideas please?
thanks

As first, check to see that you are using correct type for af:serverListener (thet one you are queue in the javaScript onBlurTxtField function)
If still does not work, go to directly to the page source code, and put af:serverListener "by hand", as a child for af:inputListOfValues.
Because it is possible that these messages are false alarm...

How to call a bean method from html component in jsf

any help is highly appreciated

Hi,
this gonna be a hack, but here's how it could work
- you create a Servlet that accesses the FacesContext to obtain a managed bean
- you issue a XmlHttpRequest from the button to your servlet to obtain the payload
- show the retrieved values in your HTML
see http://www.thoughtsabout.net/blog/archives/000033.html for the middle part

How to call Backing bean method from JS

I want to call commandlink action from JS,
I'm trying document.getElementById('formPageInfo:btnCreateQuote').click() in javascript.
But it is not working any ideas around?
Code is for commandlink : <h:commandLink action="#{ManagedController.businessListActions.createNewQuote}" accesskey="C" title="Start Quote" id="btnCreateQuote"> <h:outputText value="Start Quote" /></h:commandLink>
Any help/Suggestions around?

I think that not exist a specific way to do it with jsf. Maybe you should ask in other forum more related with javascript, as a tip, if you can use jQuery in your environment, jQuery.trigger() can simulate a click on a button or command link. I have used it with a h:commnadLink and worked fine.

How to call a previous operation in the routing in the backend?

(We have a requirement to call a previous operation in the routing in the backend and create-assemble-complete the SFC.)
Routing would be u2013 OPERATION_1 -> OPERATION_2 -> OPERATION_3
The SFC has not been create and we are using u201CCreate SFC On Demandu201D.
The production operator is given the SFC value to use, however, the POD is configured to START the SFC at OPERATION_2
The desire is to process the SFC at OPERATION_1 as a u201Cblindu201D operation to production.
The question: If we use a PRE_START activity, is it possible to launch the PRE_START activity at OPERATION_2 and have the activity:
1) Create the SFC,
2) Start the SFC at OPERATION_1,
3) Assemble a child SFC (part of the activity information),
4) Complete the SFC at OPERATION_1,
5) Upon completion of the SFC at OPERATION_1 finalize the activity and allow the SFC to start at OPERATION_2 normally?
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
a managed property only gives you a anlde to a bean or property, it doesn't execute it. To execute a bean, you can use a custom JSF PhaseListener that calls a bean method. The reference to the bean is achieve through value binding
ValueBinding vb = FacesContect.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createValueBinding("Name of Managed Bean);
TypeOfBean theBean =(TypeOfBean) vb.getValue(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());
.... theBean.theMethod() ...

When do you need to register the message bundle in the faces-config

hello
i have applied two examples to localize messages, label, title by creating message.properties file and utilizing the f:loadbundle component the EL expression. It works like a charm without having to register anything, I have only registered the locale, but not the bundle
also , i have used a programmatic approach
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ResourceBundle msg = ResourceBundle.getBundle("message",fc.getViewRoot().getLocale());
fc.addMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_FATAL.toString(),new FacesMessage(msg.getString("ok")));
which also worked without registering the message bundle!!
although many article i read ask to register the message bundle.
Another thing is that in Oracle Jdeveloper 10g for FORMS and PL/SQL Developers states that the message file needs to be located in \resource subdirectory
and using getBundle (resources.message) to get it. In fact i kept getting errors indicating that the base bundle cannot be read until i located the file in the ViewContoller directory itself (and that is why i reference it with getBundle("message") rather than resources.message as indicated in the book.
appreciate your response

Hi,
Your question is not very clear. But let get through some various guideline.
<f:loadBundle/> is horribly buggy and was all but removed from the specification. As a tag, it gets only evaluated during the render view phase, meaning that if you have EL expression referring the loadBundle's var during another phase, it's going to fail. The most common case is during validation with overridden messages.
About the programmatic access, the problem is that you're linking your application to a specific bundle at code level. Meaning that you're preventing it to be reused in a different context, while the following get the most application local bundle name (faces-config.xml's message-bundle property)
Resourcebundle.getBundle(FacesContext.getApplication().getMessageBundle())Registration is also the only way to override the default conversion / validation messages.
For JSF 1.1 (10g), those are your option. However, if you're using JSF 1.2 (11g), you can also register resource bundles in the faces-config file, you then register the bundle and the var associated to it, removing the need of f:loadBundle and fixing the non render phase issues. furthermore, the code version is also simplified to:
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ResourceBundle bundle = context.getApplication().getResourceBundle(context, "varName");
bundle.getString("myKey");You other part about \resource I never heard of nor cared for. You can place the bundle where you like on the classpath.

How to call a AM method with parameters from Managed Bean?

Hi Everyone,
I have a situation where I need to call AM method (setDefaultSubInv) from Managed bean, under Value change Listner method. Here is what I am doing, I have added AM method on to the page bindings, then in bean calling this
Class[] paramTypes = { };
Object[] params = { } ;
invokeEL("#{bindings.setDefaultSubInv.execute}", paramTypes, params);
This works and able to call this method if there are no parameters. Say I have to pass a parameter to AM method setDefaultSubInv(String a), i tried calling this from the bean but throws an error
String aVal = "test";
Class[] paramTypes = {String.class };
Object[] params = {aVal } ;
invokeEL("#{bindings.setDefaultSubInv.execute}", paramTypes, params);
I am not sure this is the right way to call the method with parameters. Can anyone tell how to call a AM method with parameters from Manage bean
Thanks,
San.

Simply do the following
1- Make your Method in Client Interface.
2- Add it to Page Def.
3- Customize your Script Like the below one to Achieve your goal.
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("GetUserRoles");
operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("username", "oracle");
operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("role", "F1211");
operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("Connection", "JDBC");
Object result = operationBinding.execute();
if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
return null;
return null;
i hope it help you
thanks

How to achieve Entity Bean methods ONLY by calling them from a Session Bean

Hi,
I used a session bean as a business facade to a entity bean.
In the session bean I achieve the entity bean with a jndiContext.lookup("java:comp/env/ejbEntityBean").
Now I am looking for a solution that it is only possible to call the entity bean methods or the whole entity bean from the corresponding session bean.
In other words: "How can I forbid the access to the entity bean, if the calling object is not the corresponding session bean?"
--->
I only found a way the regulate the access to the entity bean methods by declaring a security-role.
But the existence of the security-role at runtime depends on the calling user-authorizations!
Is there a way to set the entity-security-role within the session bean context?
Best Regards
Steffen

Hi Srikanth Reddy.T,
sorry, I am not looking for a special tag <entity-security-role>.
I am looking for a way to specifiy that my session bean "has" the special security-role (in my case "WebZaehlerEjbRole") of my entity bean "in my case "WebZaehlerEjbRole") that is necessary to call the methods (findAlleEntries, findByWindowId,...) of my entity-bean.
Here is the relevant part of my ejb-jar.ml:
     <assembly-descriptor>
          <security-role>
               <role-name>WebZaehlerEjbRole</role-name>
          </security-role>
          <method-permission>
               <description>method-permission</description>
               <role-name>WebZaehlerEjbRole</role-name>
               <method>
                    <ejb-name>WebZaehlerBean</ejb-name>
                    <method-name>findAllEntries</method-name>
                    <method-params/>
               </method>
               <method>
                    <ejb-name>WebZaehlerBean</ejb-name>
                    <method-name>findByWindowId</method-name>
                    <method-params>
                         <method-param>java.lang.Long</method-param>
                    </method-params>
