How to post null values from h:inputText?
Hello,
I have a form made of h:inputText fields that map to an entity class as the backing bean. Whenever I post the form from a web page, all the fields that I did not fill out and that are mapped to String fields in the entity class are set to "" (empty string) instead of null.
However, I would like to post null values to my entity, because that would indicate that the user did not fill out the field. In other contexts (outside of the web app) it is possible to set the fields to empty strings, but from the web app it should always be null. How can I get JSF to do this correctly?
Also, when reading entitys with null values from the database, these are converted to empty h:inputText fields, so this direction works as expected.
Ulrich
I haven't seen a solution for this as far.
This is how I do it:
public void action() {
if (isEmpty(inputValue)) {
// do your thing
} else {
// do your thing
public static boolean isEmpty(Object value) {
if (value == null) {
return true;
if (value instanceof String && ((String) value).trim().length() == 0) {
return true;
if (value instanceof Collection && ((Collection) value).size() == 0) {
return true;
// And go so on .. make it an utility method.
return false;
}

How to replace NULL values from main table
Dear all,
I like to remove the NULL values from a main table field. Or the question is how to replace any part of the string field in MDM repository main table field.
e.g. I have a middle name field partly the value is NULL in some hundreds of records, I like to replace NULL values with Space
any recommendation.
Regards,
NaeemHi Naeem,
You can try using Workflows for automatically replacing NULLs with any specific value.
What you can do is: Create a workflow and set trigger action as Record Import, Record Create and Record Update. So, that whenever any change will occur in the repository; that workflow will trigger.
Now create an assignment expression for replacing NULLs with any specific value and use that assignment expression in your workflow by using Assign Step in workflow.
For exiting records, you will have to replace NULLs manually using the process given by Preethi else you can export those records in an Excel spreadsheet which have NULLs and then replace all NULLs with any string value and then reimport those records in your MDM repository.
Hope this will solve your problem.
Regards,
Varun

How to include null values from DB

I want to see all columns values even though it may contain null values. Right now all null columns are being suppresed by XSQL. Is there any way i can configure this.

How to remove null values from list?
I had created a list in forms 6i and I am getting list values at run time using add_list_item function. The problem is I am getting null value at end of the list. In the property pallet I kept required yes and set the initial value but it is not removing null value. Can any one help me. Thank you.......
Hello
Sorry mis-read question on first reply.
1. Have you set a default value?
2. Is this default value still in your list?
3. What happens if you default the list's value to a value you know exists after you have populated it?
Cheers

How to pass null values From DTW
I have update value of Acctntcode of OACT table
Now i have to insert null in the field of Acctntcode From DTW (Data Transfer WorkBench)
How Can i do it ?Hi,
little late to the party on this one but I had a similar issue today and found the answer.
Use a "/" (forward-slash) in your DTW file and it will set the field to NULL for you.
I don't know if this works for numeric fields (probably not) but it worked for me on several string fields I needed to clear in various Master Data objects.
HTH!

How to fetch null values from DB
I need to fetch records where a field value is Null or nothing or space.
I tried :
where <field > eq space.
But this did not fetch any records though there are records in DB.
Is there any other way?

KiranHi kiran,
As you say, WHERE<field > EQ space should be works, try using WHERE <field > IS NULL..

How can I delete null values from List Item?
Hi Friends,
I used List item for field job_Type, I entered values in List item at design time through property pallet. When I run form I will see null values in this List Item.
How can I remove these null values from the List?
Best regards,
ShahzadDear Shahzad,
It can be removed by adding the following code in the When-new-Form-Instance.
Set_item_property('List name', required, property_true);
:block_name.list_name := <put your default value here>; (If you didn't oput the default value, then you will get some problem and the cursor may not navigate away from the list).

));Hi,
You could attach an ActionListener on the JButton, and try the following code :
NavigationManager fm = NavigationManager.getNavigationManager();
DataItem dataItem = fm.getFocusedControl().getDataItem();
ImmediateAccess col_code = null;
String code = null;
if (dataItem != null && dataItem instanceof RowsetAccess) {
RowsetAccess rowset = (RowsetAccess)dataItem;
try {
col_code = (ImmediateAccess) rowset.getColumnItem("CODE");
code = col_code.getValueAsString();
} catch (DuplicateColumnException de) {
return;
} catch (ColumnNotFoundException ce) {
return;
} catch (SQLException se) {
return;
JTextField tf = new JtextField();
tf.setText(code);
I haven't tested this code.
I am curious to know, the Object type of the dataItem.If it doesnot happen to be RowsetAccess ..try.. ScrollableRowsetAccess OR ImmediateAccess.
Your code would change accordingly, depending on the instance.Refer to the product documentation for this.
Do let me know, if this works.

How to get attribute value from standard page ?

How to get attribute value from standard page ?
String str = (String)vo.getCurrentRow().getAttrbute("RunId");
But this value is returning a null value ....
Can anyone help me to get this attribute value which is actually having a actual value .getCurrentRow() would always return null if no setCurrentRow() is used.
Please check the page design and understand how many rows of VO are there. You can also use the following to get the row:
