How to put a back button

hi all
i'm using jdev 10g 10.1.3. i'm tring to put a back button in my pages that when i click on it will go back to the page from which it came but am getting lost how to go about it.
I created a backing bean with the following code for the Action property:
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
public class BackButtonBean {
private String url;
public BackButtonBean() {
public void setUrl(String url) {
this.url = url;
public String getUrl() {
return url;
public String backButton_action() {
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get(url);
return url;
Can someone help me out what to do next?
thanks

Hi,
if you use JSF then you can navigate back by setting the previous ViewId to the UIViewRoot you access from FacesContext.getViewRoot(). So all you really need to do is to track the ViewId of the previous page

HOW TO PUT MOVIES BACK IN THE CLOUD ON IPAD

HOW TO PUT MOVIES BACK IN THE CLOUD ON IPAD

You can't put films in the cloud yourself, whether they will show in the cloud for redownloading depends upon what country that you are in, if the rights-holder allows redownloading, and if the film remains in your country's store. You can delete a film from your iPad via the Edit button at the top right of the film select ion screen in the Videos app or via Settings > General > Usage > Videos (that should also give you an Edit button top right of the screen or you can swipe/drag across a film form right-to-left) - but the film might not then show in the cloud for redownloading. If you haven't already done so you should connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take your own backup copy of your downloads (apps, ibooks etc could also be removed from the store and not be redownloadable in the future).

How to use a back button in action pages?

Hi all,
I have created a user login page,home page and user profile page.
If the user provide correct username and password in the login page he will be taken to home page.
In the home page he will be having his username and a link to view his profile.
When the user click on the link "My Profile(user profile)" he wil be taken to that page.
In my profile page the user can edit only his firstname,lastname and password .
On the user profile page i have placed a Back Button(using javascript: on onclick event i have used history.back()) to go back to home page after editing his profile.
If the user edit his profile for n-number of times then atlast if he wants to go back to home page-then he wil cilck the back button.
Now the problem occurs like the back button not going to home page and it simply going back with the edited history.
How to use a back button in action pages; without repeating the actions done on the page; how to redirect to the users home page?
I simply used the hyperlink in userprofile page to go to home page but when i click onit it is displaying blank home page.
I'm using hibernate orm mapping; cflogin and cflogout tags.
Any help appreciated,
Chandru P

I can see your problem. You may use javascript:history.go(-1), javascript:history.go(-2), ..., to go back one page, two pages, and so on. But how does one go back an arbitrary n pages? The link href="home.cfm" isn't a good solution for the browser. It makes a new call to the server which, as you may have discovered, can overwrite all the changes made at the browser.
You should use the Javascript variable history.length. If you open n links in succession, starting from page0.cfm, then the browser holds the value of history.length as n. So, experiment with something like
<a href="javascript:history.go(-history.length)">Go home</a>
or
<a href="javascript:history.go(-history.length+1)">Go home</a>

Whoa there.
If you mean that you have the files backed up using Time Machine on the Time Capsule, you might want to remember that Time Machine backs up the changes that occur on your Mac.
If you delete files from your Mac, Time Machine will delete the same files from your backups......you just do not know when this will occur. Could well be very soon.
So, you would only want to do this with files that you can afford to lose.
The other huge downside to deleting files on your Mac is that the only copy of the files that you have are now on the Time Capsule. When....not if....the Time Capsule drive has a problem, you will lose those files because you have no backups.

How to put aps back on my iphone 5 after latest 7.0 update?

I did the latest update of the IOS from apple and a few of my apps, (i.e. Pandora and Facebook) do not work. Any suggestions?

In the subject you ask how to put them back on the phone. That is done with the sync process in iTunes. Then you ask in the thread, how to make them work? Not sure about that, since you do not say what they are or are not doing.

How to set a back button to the caller page

Hello,
An application have a page that can be called by several other pages, for instance, an "addContact.faces" can be called by several other forms, when the user adds the contact or press a back button, the application should go back to the caller page.
How can I implent this?
Thanks in advance,
Juan

As an alternative, you could Ajax the stuff and put it in a popup div, which is a common technique nowadays. Then the user doesn't even navigate away from the page he/she was on, plus it is relatively easy to implement in a generic way so multiple pages can use it.
Search for "css popup div" on google if you want to see this in action.

How can I disable back button

How can I disable the back button and/or prevent the back button displaying my recent searches on right click ?

Set the pref <b>browser.sessionhistory.max_entries</b> to 0 on the <b>about:config</b> page.
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

How to handle The Back button on Module Pool screen

Hi Gurus,
I have created a module pool screen. In that screen I have used some input/output fields(text box) which i have marked mandatory by making the input field as "required" under program tab.
now when running the screen if no data is entered into these mandatory input field then BACK button does not work. First I have to enter some data into the input filed only then the BACK button works. How should i code so that the back button works even without entering the data into these mandatory fields.

hi,
use AT EXIT-COMMAND with the module.
eg. module user_command at exit command.
then there will be no problem.

How to Create a Back button in Flash

Hi all,
I need to create a back button for my flash app. It doesn't
need to be connected with Browser. It just need be able to remember
what frame they were viewing, and bring them back.
Is there any event I can use for this? I made an variable
called "visited:Number" and change it on every frame, but this
won't work. Once the user enters a new frame, the original visited
number is replaced by current already. I don't know how to hold
that number, before they leave the current frame.
Can anybody give me little clue/direction please?
Thank you...

Hi
I believe that you should look at the Forms functionality for UCM . Under Content Management - Web Form Editor will show up the editor where in you can add buttons and attach functionalities to it . With UCM 11g this is not available thus you might need to use AJAX to build the requirement .
Thanks

ADF Faces (JDev 10.1.3): How to support the Back Button

Hi,
when I scroll through a result set, rendered as a input form with navigation buttons, then use the browsers back button and then try to go to the next row using the 'next' navigation button, I always get an exception: JBO-29000, JBO-35007, JBO-25013
The sample application was build using JDev 10.1.3, ADF Faces and Business Components.
I have read through the new Oracle Dev Guide and found some parameters concerning state management and tested different settings. The most promising setting:
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD</param-name>
<param-value>client</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>oracle.adf.view.faces.CLIENT_STATE_METHOD</param-name>
<param-value>all</param-value>
</context-param>
Regardless of which setting I used, an exception was prompted.
My questions:
Are there addtional settings to configure to make an ADF Faces app 'back button' agnostic?
Is it an ADF Faces or a JSF problem?
What are your experience and how do you solve the problem?
I have no idea how to solve the problem.
Any hints are welcome!
Thanks,
Markus

Hi Marcus,
we had the same problem in UIX (JDeveloper version 10.1.2) and the official stance of Oracle (we had created a TAR on metalink) was that it was a general webapplication problem and not 'supported' by ADF.
We created a solution by creating a filter that checks a sequence number in the pages. Each page request was checked and the sequence was increased. The <form> on the pages needed to send the sequence with each request.
If the user used the backbutton then the sequence would be out of order. We would redirect the user to an error page and rollback the complete model.
This was our base solution. What we also tried was to use the passivation mechanism of the application module (of Business Components) we would save a snapshot after the rendering of each page and if the user used the back button and the sequence was out of order we would rollback the application module to that snapshot. However after a COMMIT you cannot rollback ofcourse and it gave us some troubles.
We finally sticked with the base solution and gave the user buttons in the application to go 'back'.
Regards,
Robert
