How to create a page-definition for bounded task-flow?

I should be able to create a page definition which declare all bindings required for a bounded task flow.
How do I do it in JDeveloper 11.1.1.2?
How do I navigate to the page definition when I am in the bounded task flow "Diagram tab"?

I found out the following:
1. To create a page-definition file for a bounded task flow
Right click on the "Default" activity (not a view activity) of the bounded task flow, select "Create Page Definition" from the context menu.
2. To go the page-definition file for a bounded task flow
Right click on the "Default" activity (not a view activity) of the bounded task flow, select "Go to Page Definition" from the context menu.
My new question is:
In JDeveloper 11.1.1.2, how do I create page-definition for a bounded-task-flow if all activities are view activities (page fragments) ?
How does JDeveloper I want to create page-definition for the task-flow instead of create page-definition of the page fragment or the page?

Menu for bounded task flow

Hi experts,
can we create menu for bounded task flow?.....we can do it in a unbounded task flow by using "create or update menu"......

Edited by: pms on Jan 6, 2012 5:31 AM

Hi,
well, if you want a menu that is owned by the bounded task flow, then you can use trains, as explained in this article
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/93-differentuifortrainstops-1413952.pdf
Just bind a menu to the train model (which afaik, extends the menu model)

How to pass parameter through URL to bounded task flow with page fragment

I want to pass parameter to Bounded Task Flow With Page Fragment trough URL
as I start this taks flow with router and according to this Param I will rout the user.
I added input param to taks flow named direction and make the task flow called URL invoke url-invoke-allowed
<input-parameter-definition id="__41">
      <name id="__42">direction</name>
      <value>#{pageFlowScope.direction}</value>
      <class>java.lang.String</class>
    </input-parameter-definition>but I don't know how to add this to the JSPX that I will add the bounded task flow Inside.
and How to pass this from URL

Hi,
url-invoke-allowed is only required if the task flow itself is directly accessible from a browser (which is not the case at all if the task flow uses page fragments). To pass input parameters to a task flow that is embedded in a region and that has input parameters, you define the input parameters on the taskFlow Id that is created in the PageDef file of the containing page. To learn ADF task flows, have a look at the videos below. They also contain a sample for passing parameters to a region

How to pass a parameter to a bounded task flow?

Hi,
We are facing issue while passing parameter from a bounded task flow to another bounded task flow and then showing the passed parameter in a jspx page.
We have a caller task flow with following component:
1. A jspx page
- In this jspx we have a text box have its value as #{pageFlowScope.inputvalue}.
- Also we have a command button which has its "Action" as the control flow that leads to the "called" task flow.
2. A bounded task flow named "called".
So, we call the "called" task flow on the button click in the jspx page.
Also, in called taskflow we have a jspx page where we are using a output label to show the parameter passed from caller task flow to the called task flow.
We performed the following steps to set the parameter passing from caller task flow to the called task flow.
1. Select the input text component on the JSF page.
2. In the Property Inspector, enter a value for the input text component. You can specify the value as an EL expression, for example #{pageFlowScope.inputValue}.
3. In the Application Navigator, double-click the name of the called task flow to open its diagram.
4. Click the Overview tab for the called task flow.
5. Click Parameters and expand the Input Parameter Definition node.
6. Click the Add icon next to Input Parameter Definition.
7. In the Name field, enter a name for the parameter, for example, inputParm1.
8. In the Value field, enter an EL expression where the parameter value is stored and referenced, for example, #{pageFlowScope.inputValue}.
9. In the Class field, enter a Java class for the input parameter definition. If you leave the Class field empty, its value is by default implicitly set to java.lang.String.
10. In the editor, open the diagram for the calling task flow.
11. In the Application Navigator, drag the called ADF bounded task flow and drop it on top of the task flow call activity that is located on the calling task flow. Dropping a bounded task flow on top of a task flow call activity in a diagram automatically creates a task flow reference to the bounded task flow.
12. In the Property Inspector for the task flow call activity, click Parameters and expand the Input Parameters section.
13. Enter a name that identifies the input parameter.
14. Enter a parameter value, for example, #{pageFlowScope.parm1}.
Now when we try to fetch the value of parameter using #{pageFlowScope.parm1} in the jspx in called taskflow, its not giving the desired value.
We even tried to set the to and from parameter of the jspx in called askflow. But no success.
Can anyone let us know if we are doing smething wrong or exact steps to configure passing of parameters to a bounded task flow and retrieving it in a jspx page will also help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Tushar,
In step# 14, the value should be "#{pageFlowScope.inputValue}" (should be the same as the value in step#2) .

Call a jsff page in an bounded task flow.

Hi,
Am using jdeveloper 11.1.1.6.0
I have a bounded task flow named welcomeTF.xml which calls another bounded task flow named LeadsTF. The LeadsTF bounded task flow contains 3 jsff pages(named lv.jsff, lv1.jsff, lv2.jsff).
WelcomeTF(Bounded TaskFlow)------------------------------------>LeadsTF(Bounded Task Flow).
When my user runs the jspx page the Welcome page(from WelcomeTF) renders which has 3 buttons (named Button1,Button2,Button3). These 3 buttons should call the LeadsTF Bounded task flow but with different jsff pages.
Button1 -------------------------------> LeadsTF(lv.jsff)
Button2 -------------------------------> LeadsTF(lv1.jsff)
Button3 -------------------------------> LeadsTF(lv2.jsff)
How can i achieve this? Please help me with the samples.
Regards,
Prasad K T.

You can define a TF parameter for the LeadsTF and use this parameter to route the navigation to either lv.jsff, lv1.jsff or lv2.jsff when entering this TF:
Add a TF parameter (e.g. call it "InitialTarget" and map it to #{pageFlowScope.initialTarget})
Add an ADF Router activity as a default activity in LeadsTF
Configure the router activity to navigate to the appropriate JSF fragment depending on the value of #{pageFlowScope.initalTarget}
Make the buttons in the parent TF set different values of the TF parameter when calling the LeadsTF

How to create an entry hub to all task flows

I have created a bunch of bounded task flows and want to create a" home" page from which I can access all of the bounded task flows. How can I do this? Thank you.

I think you can do that , as :
Create a UnBounded taskFlow with a Home.jspx and create a menu in this Page with the task flow you defined, ( Drag and Drop your task flow into the Home.jspx as Button, link or a other User Interface )

Best practice question for Bounded task flows

We are new to Jdeveloper/ADF and I was wondering if we should always try to use a bounded task flow for our applications... is this considered the best way to develop an app? even the small single page ones?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
let me turn teh question around: How many tools do you have at home beside of a hammer ? In other words, its the problem you need to solve (and use cases are problems) that should determine the use of bounded task flows and its granularity. Note that for each use case the bounded task flow makes a good candidate for delivering it. Doesn't mean that every single page needs to go into its own task flow. For general bounded best practices have a look here

Where should backing bean for bounded-task-flow be declared?

I have a bounded-task-flow that is used inside a dynamic region.
I declared a managed bean to be used by activities (method/view) using the "backingBean" scope managed bean.
There are two possible places that I can register the managed bean:
1. adfc-config.xml
2. the bounded-task-flow-definition.xml
What are the differences between declaring the "backingBean" scope bean in "adfc-config.xml" and in the bounded-task-flow definition?
What is the best practice for registering "backingBean" scope bean?
If I understand correctly, registering the bean in adfc-config.xml is for one or more bounded-task-flow that use the same Bean class for instantiating their own backing bean. If the backing bean java class is only use by specific bounded-task-flow then it should make no difference to register the bean in either xml files.
Am I correct?

It should be registered within the bounded task flow for a couple reasons:
1) Help maintain the encapsulation of the bounded task flow for reuse
2) Managed bean definition metadata residing in adfc-config.xml or bootstrap configuration file will be preloaded when the ADF application is started. The actual managed beans will be instantiated the first time they are referenced. Therefore, to avoid the preload place them in the bounded task flow.
thanks.

Any example for (bounded task flow) popup return value

I need to know what is the type of popup RETURN VALUE
any example will be great

I want to get parameter form popup bounded task flow with NO page fragment (task flow 1) to jsff page from another task flow with page fragment(task flow 2)

how can I use this field

I want to know how to create accessible pages documents for visually impaired. Is there a manual or guide available?

I work for an NGO that has a lot of visually impaired staff. When I create pages documents and then export to PDF I often get feedback that the document is not very accessible. I have been searching for a manual or guide on how to ensure my documents are accessible, but cannot seem to find
I have pages 5.0.1

You need to add accessibility, after Exporting the pdf, with Acrobat Pro.
I don't know of any software except maybe Indesign or Quark XPress* that actually builds it into the pre-pdf document.
These references should help:

* Quark Xpress definitely did not have it up to QXP 7.5 but I can find no later references, so probably it is only Indesign.

Create coustom page size for Smartforms

HI
To define a new page format, choose
Administration -> CCMS -> Print->® Spool Administration.
Choose Full Administration and then Page Formats on the Device Types tab page. On the next screen choose Change and Create or Create with Reference. Fill out the fields on the next screen.
Activating a New Page Format
Before using a new page format, you must specify it as a page format in a SAPscript form. Be careful when replacing a page format in a standard SAPscript form as the form may not necessarily fit on the new page format.
You also have to define a format and device type format for the new page format before you can use it.

How to call page in adfc-config from bounded-task-flow return?

Hello everybody, I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.3.0
I have in my adfc-config some pages and one bounded-task-flow (with pages, not page fragments). I call the bounded task flow from one of my pages but I want that when I return from the bounded-task-flow to redirect the page to another page rather than the page that called it. I dont know if this can be done, but do you have any idea on how to achieve something like this?
Thank you

Bounded-Task-Flow Page Fragment Control Flow Help

jDeveloper: 11.1.1.0.2
I am having an issue trying to figure out the correct way to use control flow cases between a bounded-task-flow with page fragments and an unbounded-task-flow page. We have taken the approach in our application to have a few shell / container pages to host bounded-task-flows made up of page fragments to facilitate re-usability and to speed up development. There are 4 or 5 shell pages on the applications unbounded-task-flow. As of now, we have about 20 page fragments that are implemented as bounded-task-flows. These fragments don't do much now, meaning there is only a single fragment in each bounded-task-flow. The issue I am having is trying to invoke a control flow navigation action from one of the fragments to load a different shell page.
For Example, shellPage1.jspx contains fragment-flow-1 as a region. In my adfc-config.xml I have shellPage1.jspx and shellPage2.jspx, with control flow cases "toShell1" and "toShell2" respectively connecting the two pages. I have a link's action bound to the "toShell2" within the fragment that makes up fragment-flow-1. When the application is run, shellPage1.jspx and its fragment are displayed. But clicking on the link in the fragment ("toShell2") does absolutely nothing. It does not navigate me to the shellPage2.jspx as expected. What am I doing wrong here or do not understand?
If the fragment is included as a JSP include, and not a bounded task flow include, everything works as expected. This is not desirable as we then need to copy the fragment's pageDef into the shellPage's pageDef to get the DataControls to function.
If the faces-config.xml is used instead, and a JSF navigation case is used, it will also work as expected. This is not desirable because we really don't want to be mixing adcf-config and faces-config.
So I am really stumped here.... Thanks in advance!

Hi there:
In your case, the adfc-config.xml has the control flow case between shell pages. And the task-flow-N.xml or your-task-flow.xml for each page fragment by default doesn't inherit control flow case from their containing shell page. In your case, in the page fragment task-flow.xml, you should add a "Parent Action" to flow to shell page2 for example. The outcome of "Parent Action" would be "toShell2" if calling from ShellPage1 page fragment.
Is this 'Correct' or 'Helpful' for you? Please mark it as so if it does.
Good luck,
Alex

Can we create application using only bounded task flow ?

I am new to ADF ..
can we create application by using only bounded task flow ...?
one unbounded task flow is necessary for any application ? ....
i searched on net ..but its not became clear
Thanks

I believe that it requires you to have at least one unbounded task flow as the standard entrance point for the application. However, I don't think there is anything stopping you from having the unbounded task flow only have access to your first bounded task flow. However, one of the purposes of the unbounded task flow is to define the different acceptable entrance points to your application.

ADF Bounded Task Flow

I have created a bounded task flow which has the following activities: Method Call (default activity and it calls a custom method in a request scoped backing bean), a controlFlow to a jsf page, a controlFlow to a Task Flow Return.
Here is the xml code for the Bounded Task Flow:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<adfc-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/controller" version="1.2">
<task-flow-definition id="fromviewprojlist-task-flow">
<default-activity>retrieveProjInfo</default-activity>
<managed-bean id="__5">
<managed-bean-name>backing_ViewProjList</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>com.dairynet.pts.controller.backing_ViewProjList</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
<method-call id="retrieveProjInfo">
<method>#{backing_ViewProjList.retrieveSingleProjData}</method>
<outcome>
<fixed-outcome>toSummary</fixed-outcome>
</outcome>
</method-call>
<view id="summary">
<page>/projectRequest/projSummary.jsf</page>
</view>
<task-flow-return id="tfrViewProjList">
<outcome>
<name>tfrViewProjList</name>
</outcome>
</task-flow-return>
<control-flow-rule id="__1">
<from-activity-id>retrieveProjInfo</from-activity-id>
<control-flow-case id="__2">
<from-outcome>toSummary</from-outcome>
<to-activity-id>summary</to-activity-id>
</control-flow-case>
</control-flow-rule>
<control-flow-rule id="__3">
<from-activity-id>summary</from-activity-id>
<control-flow-case id="__4">
<from-outcome>toViewProjList</from-outcome>
<to-activity-id>tfrViewProjList</to-activity-id>
</control-flow-case>
</control-flow-rule>
</task-flow-definition>
</adfc-config>
I am calling this bounded task flow from a commandLink that is in an ADF table (partial code of the jsf page that has the commandLink):
<af:table value="#{bindings.VProjectlistQryVO1.collectionModel}" var="row"
rows="#{bindings.VProjectlistQryVO1.rangeSize}"
emptyText="#{bindings.VProjectlistQryVO1.viewable ? 'No data to display.' : 'Access Denied.'}"
fetchSize="#{bindings.VProjectlistQryVO1.rangeSize}" rowBandingInterval="0"
filterModel="#{bindings.ImplicitViewCriteriaQuery.queryDescriptor}"
queryListener="#{bindings.ImplicitViewCriteriaQuery.processQuery}"
filterVisible="true" varStatus="vs"
selectedRowKeys="#{bindings.VProjectlistQryVO1.collectionModel.selectedRow}"
selectionListener="#{bindings.VProjectlistQryVO1.collectionModel.makeCurrent}"
id="resId1" width="100%">
<af:column sortProperty="#{bindings.VProjectlistQryVO1.hints.ProjShortDesc.name}"
filterable="true" sortable="true" width="169"
headerText="#{bindings.VProjectlistQryVO1.hints.ProjShortDesc.label}"
id="resId1c1">
<af:commandLink action="fromviewprojlist-task-flow" id="cl1"
text="#{row.ProjShortDesc}"/>
Here is my code in the adfc-config.xml file related to the page calling the bounded task flow and the bounded task flow:
<control-flow-rule id="__7">
<from-activity-id>masterList</from-activity-id>
<control-flow-case id="__5">
<from-outcome>fromviewprojlist-task-flow</from-outcome>
<to-activity-id>fromviewprojlist-task-flow</to-activity-id>
</control-flow-case>
</control-flow-rule>
<control-flow-rule id="__6">
<from-activity-id>fromviewprojlist-task-flow</from-activity-id>
<control-flow-case id="__9">
<from-outcome>tfrViewProjList</from-outcome>
<to-activity-id>masterList</to-activity-id>
</control-flow-case>
</control-flow-rule>
When I click the commandLink where the action is the bounded task flow (fromviewprojlist-task-flow), it does not go into the method I am specifying in the Method Call activitiy (the default activity) within the task flow. It does not error out, but it does not go anywhere. My objective is to go to the custom backing bean method so I can get some value of the row in the table I clicked on, then use this value to successfully load the projSummary.jsf page
I am new to this, and I can't figure out what I'm missing. I appreciate any ideas you may have to help me resolve this.
Thanks!

I did as you suggested, but I see nothing in the console that indicates it's trying to run the bounded task flow. It's like it ignores it. No error, just redisplays the page I'm calling the bounded task flow from.
Previously, in another application, I created a bounded task flow with the default activity which was a Method Call activity, but I dragged and dropped a createInsert operation onto the Method Call activity from the Data Control. This worked fine (for creating an inputForm).
With this bounded task flow that is giving me problems, I'm not referencing the Data Control at all, I'm just referencing the method in the request-scoped backing bean. Is there something I don't have "wired up" correctly so that it's not even finding the bounded task flow the action attribute of my commandLink is referencing?
I'm not referencing the model (or an application module) at all, but should this matter? It seems like it should just find my backing bean method, run it, and carry on!
