How to reset a form

How do I reset the input values to the originals on a form? I am using JDev 10.1.3.3. The code below seems not working because autoSubmit=true:
<af:inputText id="id1" value="#{someValue}" autoSubmit="true"/>
<af:InputText partialTriggers="id1" render="someCondition"/>
<af:commandButton type="reset" text="Reset"/>
Do I need to explicitly set the component's value like the following:
inputText.setValue(originalValue);
inputText.setSubmittedValue(null);
Thanks.

Hi,
Rollback undo the whole transaction, incase if you need to undo only the current row changes, then, here is one way.
- Inside ViewObjectImpl have a method to undo the current row changes
public void undoCurrentRow(){
     Row row = this.getCurrentRow();
     if (row != null)
         row.refresh(row.REFRESH_UNDO_CHANGES | row.REFRESH_FORGET_NEW_ROWS);
}- Expose it to the client interface
- Add it as an ADF button into the jsf page and set immediate property to true(Incase of createInsert, it doesn't allow to do undo if valid values are not provided for required fields, to avoid this we need to set immediate property to true)

  • How To Reset a Form (Not as easy as you would think)?

    Hi All,
    I'm unable to get a form to reset its value when using a commandButton that has immediate set to true.
    I've got a simple little jsf page that has a form and a datatable. The form is bound to an object in a class I'm using to handle the view, the datatable is bound to a dataModel from the same handler class. The functionality I have is quite simple:
    a user clicks on a commandLink in a row of the datatable
    the corresponding object is loaded into a "currentObject" property of the handler class
    the form fields are mapped to the "currentObject" property of the handler.
    The user may update or reset the form.
    The goal is to have the reset commandButton set the "currentObject" property of the handler class to null (or a new, unpopulated object) so that the fields of the form are set to blank again on render. This works fine as long as I don't use immediate="true". When I do use the immediate=true attribute, the "currentObject" variable is, indeed, set to null, but the form still renders with the old "currentObject" values in it!!
    I have to use immediate="true" because there is validation going on for the form that I want to avoid.
    If I use a commandButton type="reset", the fields are not cleared because the reset functionality of the browser (ie6 and firefox) resets the fields to the values they were at the time the form was displayed--the very values I wish to totally remove!
    This seems like such a common, simple thing to do. What am I missing?
    Thanks,
    John

    I have a similiar problem, and maybe putting buttons in a different form is the answer:
    I have a page with a selectOneListbox on the left, and a set of inputs on the right. The listbox represents the available beans to select, and the set of inputs contains all the editable fields for the beans. Basically this is just a bean editor.
    There is a command Button beneath the listbox for viewing a bean. When this button is clicked, the set of inputs are populated with that bean's data.
    There is also a command button beneath the set of inputs that allows the user to save their changes.
    All of these elements are in the same form tag.
    JSF jsp:
    <f:view>
      <h:form>
        <h:panelGrid columns="2">
          <h:panelGrid columns="2">
            <h:selectOneListbox size="10" value="#{editor.selectedBean}" >
              <f: selectItems value="#{editor.beanSelectItemCollection}" />
            </h:selectOneListbox>
            <h:commandButton actionListener="#{editor.view}" value="View" />
          </h:panelGrid>
          <h:panelGrid  columns="2">
            <h:inputText value="#{editor.editingBean.property}" />
            <h:commandButton actionListener="#{editor.save}" value="Save" />
          </h:panelGrid>
        </h:panelGrid>
      </h:form>
    </f:view>Editor bean:
    public class Editor {
      // use a blank bean as default
      // so the editor is populated with blanks
      private Bean editingBean = new Bean();
      // don't initially select any beans
      private Bean selectedBean = null;
      private Map beans = new HashMap();
      public Editor() {
      public void save(ActionEvent e) {
        beans.put(editingBean.getId(), editingBean);
      public void view (ActionEvent e) {
        editingBean = (Bean)selectedBean.clone();
      // getters and setters
      public Bean getEditingBean() {
        return editingBean;
      public void setEditingBean(Bean b) {
        editingBean = b;
      public Bean getSelectedBean() {
        return selectedBean;
      public void setSelectedBean(Bean b) {
        selectedBean = b;
      // before entering the JSP for this bean, this method should be called
      // to populate the editor
      public void setBeans(Collection c) {
        beans.clear();
        for (Iterator i = c.iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
          Bean b = (Bean)i.next();
          beans.put(b.getId(), b);
      public Collection getBeans() {
        return beans.values();
      public Collection getBeanSelectItemCollection() {
        Collection items = new ArrayList(beans.size());
        for (Iterator i = beans.values().iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
          items.add(new SelectItem(bean, bean.getProperty());
        return items;
    }Here comes the problem:
    If I want to set fields as required or use any of the JSF validation functionality, my view usecase breaks. This happens if the user views bean1 changes some data to be invalid/not existant and then tries to view bean2. If they don't click the save button, validation/required should not be checked. My initial thought is that I should be able to set my view button and view listbox to be immediate. This does properly update the view listbox, but then if I change the values in the backing bean for the set of inputs, those changes are never updated to the screen, and the set of inputs is still populated with bean1's data even though the backing bean for all those inputs is now bean2.
    It appears that the view never requeries the backing bean when responseComplete() is called (which happens with an immediate command). Is this a bug in faces, or is this how the spec says it is supposed to behave? If this is the correct behavior what is a better practice to acheieve my usecase?
    My current workaround is to ignore faces validation and manually validate when the user clicks the save command, and then manually set the messages for the bad components. Obviously, this is not an ideal solution, but I was hoping that this faces behavior was incorrect and thus my solution would be temporary.
    I'm not tied to a specific solution, but I am discouraged that Adam says in order to reset the set of inputs, we have to manually update the model during the apply request values phase.

  • How to reset a form instead of all the forms in the document?

    I installed a button in each page of my file my (ten pages, each one with a different one form) to give the user the faculty of clear specifically through a single choice
    But this reset button resets all the pages. I took care to rename this button in each page but Acrobat proceeds to execute a massive reset operation.
    Thank you.

    Mr Try,
    You wrote the whole thing...
    Thank you.
    Could you please give me the last breath?
    My real page numberin PDF  is 25 an I tried this (placing the two pieces) without success...
    function resetFieldsOnPage(p) {
        var fields = [];
        for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
            var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
            if (f==null) continue;
            if (f.page==p)
                fields.push(f.name);
        this.resetForm(fields);
    And then to reset all the fields on the first page, call:
    resetFieldsOnPage(25);

  • How to Reset Auto Forms

    Hi,
    1.) I was wondering if one can reset the auto forms fill out in Tiger one by one.
    I have mistyped on occasion and the pesky thing keeps offering it as a choice. I would like to get it to where the only choices when I type the first letter are what I want.
    Specifically applications, like on my browser -- FireFox 2.
    2.) What can you toss out in OSX and have it regenerate each time: like .plists and so forth? And where could I study up on that part of OSX?
    Thanks.

  • How to reset values in a Data Form Bean?

    I have created an ADF application that has a search facility in it. The architecture is as follows:
    DataPage (search.jsp) --> DataAction (validateSearch) -->DataAction (refreshCollection) --> DataPage (results.jsp)
    I have successfully created a data form bean to hold the data that is submitted in the search and bind it to the refresh method of the collection. I have also successfully overridden the validate method, which catches and throws and displays appropriate ActionErrors on the search.jsp page.
    I have added a link back to the search.jsp page from the results.jsp page (as a user may wish to perform another search), the ActionErrors are resetting ok but I have not managed to work out how to reset the values of the actual data form bean.
    I have tried several different ways of overriding the reset method within the data form bean but so far have been unsuccessful - I would appreciate any assistance with this matter.
    Shown here is a basic example of a form bean that I have been trying different things out with - I can not get the reset method to even be called - please help!
    package uk.dmf.eg02;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
    import org.apache.struts.action.ActionError;
    import org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors;
    import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
    import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
    public class searchForm extends ActionForm
    String search;
    public setupForm()
    public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request)
    ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
    if (search.trim().length()==0)
    errors.add("search", new ActionError("error.search"));
    return errors;
    public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request)
    System.err.println("EXECUTING RESET METHOD");
    this.search = "";
    public void setSearch(String search)
    this.search = search;
    public String getSearch()
    return search;

    If you run in request scope the reset method is called, however in session scope is't only called once (or never?). See documentation of method reset():
    public void reset(ActionMapping mapping,
    javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)
    Reset bean properties to their default state, as needed. This method is called before the properties are repopulated by the controller.
    The default implementation does nothing. In practice, the only properties that need to be reset are those which represent checkboxes on a session-scoped form. Otherwise, properties can be given initial values where the field is declared.
    If the form is stored in session-scope so that values can be collected over multiple requests (a "wizard"), you must be very careful of which properties, if any, are reset. As mentioned, session-scope checkboxes must be reset to false for any page where this property is set. This is because the client does not submit a checkbox value when it is clear (false). If a session-scoped checkbox is not proactively reset, it can never be set to false.
    This method is not the appropriate place to initialize form value for an "update" type page (this should be done in a setup Action). You mainly need to worry about setting checkbox values to false; most of the time you can leave this method unimplemented.

  • How turn off auto field adding to "Reset a form"

    Hi,
    I "inherited" some form. Some fields have a "Reset a form" on it (resetting some specified fields in the form). Everytime I change a fieldname or create a new field, that field gets added to the "Reset a form" in all the fields with a "Reset a form" in the document!
    This really bums me out, because It's costing me loads of work just to change all the settings back to normal.
    Any way to turn this "feature" off?
    Would be a great help!!

    I was hoping someone could point me to a setting I could change. Probably there isn't a setting. I'll have to consider it a bug then. I'll try and report the bug to Adobe (hope they're listening).

  • How to clear a form

    Hi,
    since I've received no answer to my earlier question yet, I try to ask it again.
    I have a form to input data. The primary key of the new data record is created from a sequence. If I open the form the first time, everything is right. But if I save the new record and open the form again, the afore entered data are in the input fields and instead of "create" occurs "apply changes". I guess, the form gets the primary key of the saved data record instead of a new primary key from sequence. Where can I have an effect on that?
    The application is on the Oracle workspace "GILLETTEDH" and the application is 25515. The form I talk about is on tab "Input Form" (page 2).

    Bettina,
    I wasn’t referring to the processes or branches on the form page. You should keep them just as they were generated by the wizard. The branch I was talking about is the one that takes you to the form page. This is typically a report page or some kind of menu page. If you use the form & report wizard, then you’ll get that pre-build. The create button takes you to the form page and resets the form page session state and displays the form in create mode. The report link takes you to the form page while supplying a key to query data and displays the forum page in edit mode. So it depends on how you call the form page.
    If you just want to keep adding data though, i.e. create a record, return to page 2 and create another record, then resetting session state for page 2 and branching back to page 2 when clicking on create would be the right thing to do. Try creating a reset session state page process on page 2 and make it conditional on clicking “Create”.
    Also, when looking at your form, I found that your page process to generate the PK is currently set to “Never”. With that setting you won’t be able to create new records. You should make that process conditional on clicking on “Create” as well.
    You also may want to look into using before-insert triggers for generating the primary key. This would be a cleaner approach to generating this key than having a page process. By using triggers, the primary key would be generated no matter how to records gets inserted, i.e. by using this page, direct insert statement or another client interface.
    Hope this helps,
    Regards,
    Marc

  • How to run the form that is only installed on a PC and not using a server?

    Hi
    I am new to Oracle and have taken the forms class. But I do not understand how to run the form from my PC using XP windows. (Do not have access to a server).
    I have started the OC4J, made sure the listener was started, compiled the form and then when I run it, it automatically goes to the HTTP:
    ERROR: res://ieframe.dll/acr_depnx_error.htm#,http://kevin:8889/forms/frmservle
    I connected to the database correctly. I can process a report and it does nor try to access the internet. My only issue is running the form. I verified it compiled.
    Sorry for a basic question. Could someone please help, I tried reviewing other questions, but not sure if they are connecting to a server or not.
    I see webutil but is it required if I don't have a server? Thank you in advance.

    Regardless of the version, it appears that you may not have configured the Builder. Do the following:
    1. Open the Builder
    2. From the menu, select Edit > Preferences > Runtime
    3. In the box labeled "Application Server URL:", enter a local URL needed to run a form OR click the button labeled "Reset to Default". If you decide to manually enter a value, it would looks something like this:
    http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet
    4. In the field labeled "Web Browser Location:", enter the path and executable to your preferred browser. So for example if IE is your browser of choice the entry would most likely look like this:
    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE
    5. Click on OK and retest.
    By the way, you can manually enter a URL in the browser. Clicking the RunForm button from the Builder is strictly optional. To run the "test" form directly from the browser enter the following into the browser's address field:
    http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=test

    Dear Masters
    Actually we are using NTLM Authentication process to get the system login id for our web application. The problem which I am getting is after running the NTLM Authentication Code I am not able to call the action class. It is telling 400 Server error bad request. I am using Struts Dispatch Action Class. In Dispatch Action I will be passing a name (eg. method) as a parameter in struts-config.xml file and using that parameter I will be calling the respective method in the Action class. The problem which I am facing is after running the authentication code I am not able to fire the action class. It is telling the error in the console as "parameter named method is not found". Actually in NTLM Authentication code they are setiing the response status to www-authenticate,NTLM. If I reset the response status back to the normal form I think i will be able to fire the action class. Please give me a suggestion on how to reset the response status and response header back to the normal form. Any solution to this is appreciated. Please respond your reply as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.
