How to get binding variables from request

We are trying to use html-db to develop an application which need to get values from user request to use in the queries, i.e. we will have pages depend on several binding variables and the value of these variables will be provided by the user through get/post request. Because the request will be initialed by another application so to use a form to collect the values is not an option.
I am a html-db newbie. Does anyone here know how to do that?

you're right in thinking this is a bit of a newbie html db question. it's a pretty straightforward matter to set up a report in html db that runs off of bind variables that can be set from a URL. you can see a pretty simple example on the first page of our "Sample Application" that's available to install into your workspace. try taking a look at that to see what i mean. you can install the Sample Application by clicking the "Review Demonstration Applications" link that's available right after logging into htmldb.oracle.com. that resulting screen lets you create (or re-create) the Sample App in your workspace. once it's installed, take a look at how the report on page 1 calls the first report on page 201. that report on 201 is dependent on a bind variable, :P202_CATEGORY, that's set from the URL. this particular URL is generated from the report on page 1, but it could just as easily have been generated from your other application. when you look at this example, the two key points to pay attention to are the 1) syntax used in the URL to set the bind variable (which is explained in our online help at http://htmldb.oracle.com/i/doc/mvl_fund005.htm#sthref357) and 2)the way in which that bind variable is referenced in the first sql query region on page 201. take a look at those when you get a chance, and let us know if you have further questions.
thanks,

How to get promoted properties from Request to Response in two way send port scenario.

I have a requirement to access the promotes properties in response pipeline, these promoted properties are promoted in Orchestration and they are available in Send pipeline, but not available in Receive pipeline. Please help us if we have any solution for
this issue.
Thanks
Ramachandra

Hi Ramachandra,
Obviously from above responses you would have got the point that this can’t be done out-of-box and you need to do custom. Also when you say “Get the message
from DB along with context properties.”, you do agree with this point.
One of the possible custom solutions is (Obviously in bespoken process, you can achieve it in many ways),
When send the message out to a solicit-response port, store those promoted properties in db along with the “correlation key” which you can get from the context of the request message like
“Correlation Token” and “SPID”. So when the response comes back, you can either in the “inbound map” or in the receive pipeline (using custom component) populate/constructs the message by populating data from db, where will retrieve the
“Correlation Token” and “SPID” values of the response message (it will have the same correlation value as in the request message), so you can use the value of correlation sets to get the values from db.

How to get useful data from request?

Hello.
I am looking for creating a management tool for a web site. All I want is that is there any ready to use API or package or open source project for retrieving user�s information? I just mean that is there any easy to use way in java to get useful data from a client (for example location, his or her system configuration and information �).
Thanks.

If you dump all the data from request (see the javadoc, and especially the "header methods" ) you'll see the data you can get are quite simple.
The only thing you can try to rely on are ;
- the IP address from the sender (when reversed to DNS, you can sometime use the tld to locate the country it comes from. Yet, you'll get many .com name, so it's not that significant. it may also give you the IAP used). Note that if the user is using a proxy, it's the proxy IP that you'll collect
- the User-Agent header : from this, you can guess the OS and the browser used
- the Referer header : usefull to get where your user comes from (where they found a link to your site)
- the Cookie header : if you're using a servlet container with session id stored in cookie, you should see the Cookie header appear on the second request to your site. That helps finding out wether your user accep cookie or not (from a server point).
Besides these, i don't think you can get any other useful data without asking your users on a form. Note that it's the client that decides to send Referer, User-Agent or Cookie headers. Those are not mandatory to the Http Protocole and some browser allow their user to fool their content (butmore than 90% of the widespread browsers don't)

Hi How to get XML file from servlet that XI sent to my J2EE appl?

Hi All!
I have a scenario like XI sends xml file to j2ee application. In my J2EE application my servlet receives this xml. Will the xml file be in my HTTPServletRequest object? if so how to get that file from Request object.
Please help me its urgent, Any code help is highly appreciated.
My xml file will be like this:

<RollNo>123</RollNo>
<Address>a-4</Address>
</ns0:Http_Message_Type_Demo>
somebody should help me!please
Thanks

Hi,
You can use HTTPServletRequest object to get the XML payload.
BufferedReader reader = request.getReader(); //gets XML payload
String line = reader.readLine(); // to read the XML payload line by line
(request is the HTTPServletRequest object)

How to get selected row from a non-bind ADF table

Hi,
I have an ADF table that is based on a collectionModel built programmatically. The collectionModel is this:
model = new SortableModel(new ArrayList<ArrayList>());
Hence, it is not a binding table. My question is how to get the selectedRows from a non-bind table.
I am used to building binding ADF table and I know we can get it from voiterator.getCurrentRow, since the selectionListener is set to the binding....collectionModel.makeCurrent
<af:table value="#{bindings.ItasLookupTypesVO1.collectionModel}"
selectedRowKeys="#{bindings.ItasLookupTypesVO1.collectionModel.selectedRow}"
selectionListener="#{bindings.ItasLookupTypesVO1.collectionModel.makeCurrent}"
</af:table>
I am thinking maybe I need to write my own selectionListener, but need more advice/ideas of what's the codes in the customer selection Listener to get it from my SortableModel.
Please help.
Thanks
-Mina

I'm not sure if this works in your case, but check out the selection listener I write in this blog http://wp.me/pcBZk-eu
You should use the selection event and check the added set. This should give you access to the selected row.

How to get a formula from the user from a text box in a webpage

Hi. I would like to know how to get the formula from the user who enters in a textbox. This formula can have any number of variables starting with a and goes on.
The complexity of the formula can go upto sin, cos, ln, exp. Also user enters the minimum and maximum values of these variables. Based on a specific algorithm (which I use) I would calculate a *set of values, say 10, for each of these variables, substitute in the formula and based on the result of this formula, I select ONE suitable value for each of the variables.
I don't know how to get this formula (which most likely to be different each time) and substitute the values *which I found earlier.
Kindly help me out in this issue.
Thanks

The textbox is the easy part. It's no different than getting a String parameter out of an HTTP request.
The hard part is parsing the String into a "formula" for evaluation. You'll have to write a parser or find one.
Google for "Java math expression parser" and see what you get.
Or write your own with JavaCC.

Clearing variable from Request object

Hi everyone,
After getting value from request.getParameter("var"), I want to clear this "var" variable from request scope. So that in the next coming statements if i again call the same request.getParameter("var") statement than it must return null
So how to handle this issue of clearing certain variable from request scope or flushing the whole request object

I don't know what you are trying to do but it sounds confused. I would suggest you read the parameter once, at the beginning of the code. Store it in a variable and use that variable as necessary. If you still need help then would you explain what you are trying to achieve here.

How to use bind variables in this procedure

Hi Experts,
How to use bind variables in this procedure for static queries.
PROCEDURE DELETE_MER_PROC (M_id IN NUMBER)

How to use v_date and m_id as bind variables in this procedure to avoid hard parsing.
Please help me.
Thanks.

You cannot avoid hard parsing - as the 1st time a SQL statement (like the SELECT or DELETE statements in your code) is encountered, it does not reside in the server's Shared Pool, and needs to be added into the pool via a hard parse.
Bind variables does not prevent hard parsing. Hard parsing happens when the SQL statement (with or without bind variables) is a brand new statement encountered by the server.
Bind variables enables the same SQL cursor to be reused, by simply changing the bind variable value.
Not using bind variables means that each SQL statement is unique and not shareable - as the value is hardcoded into the statement and cannot be changed via a bind value. This typically means LOTS of different SQL statements (where the only difference is the changed value in the statement) are created - with each statement being a new statement not seen before in the Shared Pool and needing to be hard parsed.
One does not design one's code not to be hard parsed. There ALWAYS will be a hard parse in order to get a SQL statement into the Shared Pool. One designs one's code to REUSE cursors in the Shared Pool.

Hello,
It is true for JSR168 portlets that you can't just arbitrarily set parameters on a URL and get access to them inside your portlet- you must use the appropriate APIs on the PortletURL class to set parameters that you can retrieve. This is the only portable (standards-compliant) way to implement the functionality you want.
However, for your particular use-case, you can get the URL parameters from the (non-JSR168) HttpServletRequest object. The only reason you are getting a null object for that is because the attribute name is wrong. This should work:
HttpServletRequest httpRequest = (HttpServletRequest)(request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request"));
String eventId = httpRequest.getParameter("eventId");

LabVIEW DSC: How to get alarm status from the area?

Colleagues,
I have, lets say, 50 Shared Variables where alarming enabled. Some of these variables assigned to area, so I can get status of the entire area or acknowledge an entire area of alarms (prior to version 8.x there was groups of the tags).
Now I would like to get alarm status from the entire area. How can I do it?
In version 6 I was able to wire tag group to Get Alarm Summary Status. Now, in version 8, Alarm Status.vi can be wired to the array of the variables, but not to area. Is it possible to get all variables from the area?
regards,
Andrey.

I am not sure if I should be posting my problem under this particular topic. I am having trouble understanding acknowledge alarm vi and what this vi is supposed to do is not clear to me yet.
I have around 300 shared variables in my project and I have created a particular vi just to view the alarms that may pop up during runs. I created a main menu and this alarm vi can be accessed upon a button click in the main menu. Users get alarm alert based on sound configuration. Then he can navigate to the alarm vi and acknowledge the alarm. The alarm vi only contains alarm and event display found under DSC module.
The problem is everytime I click the alarm button in the main menu, it takes around 2 minutes for the alarm vi to update which is very annoying and unsatisfactory in the middle of run. I am not sure why it happens and I haven't got any response from support yet. These shared variables are managed under 10 different library files that are set up based on different loops of the process (flow, pressure and so on).
Then I looked into three alarm examples that ship with DSC module. None of these examples use acknowledge alarm vi. I implemented another vi similar to alarm demo vi in that example - containing multicolumn listbox. I created acknowledge event containing acknowledge button and used the acknowledge alarm vi under this event. Read vi alarm is under timeout event.
When I click the acknowledge button as soon as I see the alarm in multicolumn listbox, nothing happens - the color of font does not get changed to purple neither any alarms get acknowledged. I tried to aknowledge alarm by variable name or alarms or alarm area, it does not give me anything. What is this acknowledge alarm supposed to do? I tried to find examples everywhere in the web that uses this particular vi and haven't found one yet.
