How to return a value

Hi!
I have a problem and hope to get your help!
I have the following thing:
class1 {
public class()
FUNCTION_to_use_data() {}
public void unitSelectionChanged(Object[] selection) {
......data=depends_on_selection;
public interface UnitSelectionListener {
public String [] unitSelectionChanged(Object[] selection);
class 2
public void selectionChanged(PNotification notification)
connectedSelectionHandler.unitSelectionChanged(coll.toArray());
I want to get somehow the data into the FUNCTION_to_use_data().
The main problem is, that I do not understand, where the program gets "selection" in the class 1.
thanks a lot!

Hi!
I understand, how methods pass parameters, but here I' m stuck.
I try to reformulate my question.
I have the following thing in a class:
public void unitSelectionChanged(Object[] selection)
{for (int i=0; i<selection.length; i++)
DATA = ....selection[i];
I do not understand, where this method gets an array of Objects "selection". It is nowhere initialized or somehow mentioned in the class.
I want to process DATA in another method, but am not able either to reach "selection" from another place of the program, or call this method using "return".
Hope to get your help!

How to Return a value to a 10g Oracle Form form a Web Service Call

I've read the demo available from Oracle, 'Calling a Web service from Oracle Forms', that shows how to invoke a call to a Web Service from a Form. The demo only shows how to do a call and how to display messages. I've done some searching, but can't seem to find any examples of how to return a value from the call into a field on the form. If any one could provide an example of that, I would greatly appreciate it.
We are in the process of modifing a form and we would like to use a webservice, which we have never done before. We have created a webservice which calculates a value based upon what is entered on the form and we want to pass that calculated value back to a field on the form.
This is the code provided by the demo to do a call.
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
xo ora_java.jobject;
rv varchar2(100);
ex ora_java.jobject;
BEGIN
JO := SendServiceSoapClient.new;
RV := SendServiceSoapClient.sendMessage(JO,:BLOCK3.PHONE_NUMBER, :BLOCK3.MESSAGE_BODY, xo, xo);
EXCEPTION
WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
WHEN ORA_JAVA.EXCEPTION_THROWN then
ex := ORA_JAVA.LAST_EXCEPTION;
message(Exception_.toString(ex));
END;

In the future, please be sure to include the exact product versions you are using. In this case, also be sure to include the java versions you are using to build your java code.

[UIX] How To: Return multiple values from a LOV

Hi gang
I've been receiving a number of queries via email on how to return multiple items from a LOV using UIX thanks to earlier posts of mine on OTN. I'm unfortunately aware my previous posts on this are not that clear thanks to the nature of the forums Q&A type approach. So I thought I'd write one clear post, and then direct any queries to it from now on to save me time.
Following is my solution to this problem. Please note it's just one method of many in skinning a cat. It's my understanding via chatting to Oracle employees that LOVs are to be changed in a future release of JDeveloper to be more like Oracle Forms LOVs, so my skinning skills may be rather bloody & crude very soon (already?).
I'll base my example on the hr schema supplied with the standard RDBMS install.
Say we have an UIX input-form screen to modify an employees record. The employees record has a department_id field and a fk to the departments table. Our requirement is to build a LOV for the department_id field such that we can link the employees record to any department_id in the database. In turn we want the department_name shown on the employees input form, so this must be returned via the LOV too.
To meet this requirement follow these steps:
1) In your ADF BC model project, create 2 EOs for employees and departments.
2) Also in your model, create 2 VOs for the same EOs.
3) Open your employees VO and create a new attribute DepartmentName. Check selected in query. In expressions type (SELECT dept.department_name FROM departments dept WHERE dept.department_id = employees.department_id). Check Updateable always.
4) Create a new empty UIX page in your ViewController project called editEmployees.uix.
5) From the data control palette, drag and drop EmployeesView1 as an input-form. Notice that the new field DepartmentName is also included in the input-form.
6) As the DepartmentName will be populated either from querying existing employees records, or via the LOV, disable the field as the user should not have the ability to edit it.
7) Select the DepartmentId field and delete it. In the UI Model window delete the DepartmentId binding.
8) From the data controls palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field as a messageLovInput onto your page. Note in your application navigator a new UIX page lovWindow0.uix (or similar) has been created for you.
9) While the lovWindow0.uix is still in italics (before you save it), rename the file to departmentsLov.uix.
10) Back in your editEmployees.uix page, your messageLovInput source will look like the following:
<messageLovInput
    model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
    id="${bindings.DepartmentId.path}"
    destination="lovWindow0.uix"/>Change it to be:
<messageLovInput
    model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
    id="DepartmentId"
    destination="departmentsLov.uix"
    partialRenderMode="multiple"
    partialTargets="_uixState DepartmentName"/>11) Also change your DepartmentName source to look like the following:
<messageTextInput
    id=DepartmentName
    model="${bindings.DepartmentName}"
    columns="10"
    disabled="true"/>12) Open your departmentsLov.uix page.
13) In the data control palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field of the DepartmentView1 as a LovTable into the Results area on your page.
14) Notice in the UI Model window that the 3 binding controls have been created for you, an iterator, a range and a binding for DepartmentId.
15) Right click on the DepartmentsLovUIModel node in the UI Model window, then create binding, display, and finally attribute. The attribute binding editor will pop up. In the select-an-iterator drop down select the DepartmentsView1Iterator. Now select DepartmentName in the attribute list and then the ok button.
16) Note in the UI Model you now have a new binding called DCDefaultControl. Select this, and in the property palette change the Id to DepartmentName.
17) View the LOV pages source, and change the lovUpdate event as follows:
<event name="lovSelect">
    <compound>
        <set value="${bindings.DepartmentId.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentId" />
        <set value="${bindings.DepartmentName.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentName" />
    </compound>
</event>18) Return to editEmployees.uix source, and modify the lovUpdate event to look as follows:
<event name="lovUpdate">
    <compound>
        <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentId}" target="${bindings.DepartmentId}" property="inputValue"/>
        <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentName}" target="${bindings.DepartmentName}" property="inputValue"/>
    </compound>
</event>Thats it. Now when you select a value in your LOV, it will return 2 (multiple!) values.
A couple things to note:
1) In the messageLovInput id field we dont use the .path notation. This is mechanism for returning 1 value from the LOV and is useless for us.
2) Again in the messageLovInput we supply _uixState as an entry in the partialTargets.
3) We are relying on partial-page-refresh functionality to update multiple items on the screen.
Im not going to take the time out to explain these 3 points, but its worthwhile you learning more about them, especially the last 2, as a separate exercise.
One other useful thing to do is, in your messageLovInput, include as a last entry in the partialTargets list MessageBox. In turn locate the messageBox control on your page (if any), and supply an id=MessageBox. This will allow the LOV to place any errors raised in the MessageBox and show them to the user.
I hope this works for you :)
Cheers,
CM.

Thanks Chris,
It took me some time to find the information I needed, how to use return multiple values from a LOV popup window, then I found your post and all problems were solved. Its working perfectly, well, almost perfectly.
Im always fighting with ADF-UIX, it never does the thing that I expect it to do, I guess its because I have a hard time letting go of the total control you have as a developer and let the framework take care of a few things.
Anyway, I'm using your example to fill 5 fields at once, one of the fields being a messageChoice (a list with countries) with a LOV to a lookup table (id , country).
I return the countryId from the popup LOV window, that works great, but it doesn't set the correct value in my messageChoice . I think its because its using the CountryId for the listbox index.
So how can I select the correct value inside my messageChoice? Come to think of it, I dont realy think its LOV related...
Can someone help me out out here?
Kind regards

How to return multiple values from dialog popup

hi all
I'm using ADF 10g. I have a requirement that I have to return multiple values from a dialog.
I have a page containing a table with a button which calls the dialog. The dialog contains a multi-select table where i want to select multiple records and add them to the table in the calling page.
In the backing bean of the calling page, I have the returnListener method.
I am thinking that I have to store the selected rows from dialog in an array and return that array to the returnListener...but I don't know how to go about it with the code.
Can someone help me out with it?
thanks

Hi Frank,
I'm trying to implement your suggestion but getting comfused.
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(null, hashMap) is called in ActionListener method, from what I understood.
ReturnListener method already calls it, so no need to call explicitly.
Okay here's what i'm doing.
command button launches the dialog on the calling page.
In the dialog page, there is a button "select", which when i click, closes the dialog and returns to calling page. I put a af:returnActionListener on this button, which logically should have a corresponding ReturnListener() in the calling page backing bean.
Now I have 3 questions:
1. do i have to use ActionListener or ReturnListener?
2. where do I create the hashMap? Is it in the backing bean of the dialog or in the one of calling page?
3. how do I retrieve the keys n values from hashmap?
please help! thanks
This is found in the backing bean of calling page:

        return orgname;
am still geting the first value from lov when i iterator i what to see the current value selected,i have put the inputtext with the organisation name it always show the first value it does not change when i make selection in my lov i even put the partial trigger but does not change based on lov selection

How to return multiples values useing functions

Hi to all,
I am using functions to return multiple values of two rows or multiple rows.
For example emp id = 100 and i need to return the value for this(empid) input and output of this first_name and salary.
I am tried in this way below but got errors (ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got HR.EMP_TYPE)
create or replace type emp_type as object(first_name varchar2(20),salary number);
create or replace function f1(empid in number)
return emp_type
as
emp_record emp_type;
begin
select first_name,salary into emp_record.first_name,emp_record.salary from employees where employee_id = empid ;
return emp_record;
end;
select f1(100) from dual;

Sql is Sql and plsql is plsql. Though we can almost use all the sql objects inside a plsql code but vice versa is not always possible. Since plsql is tightly integrated with sql , if you return a number/date/varchar2 datatype values from plsql code to sql code,there is nothing wrong .Sql acknowledges this return type and knows well about how to handle it .But plsql record is a plsql specific datatype ,oracle was not built keeping in mind the fact that people will be creating difference types of records in plsql .So if you return a plsql datatype into a sql statement (which is processed by a sql engine) ,you need to tell oracle that I have written a plsql code which is going to return a record type so that sql engine can interpret it well.
So all you need to do is create record in sql (known as object in sql ),when you make one, the entry is going to be shown in user_types views. Now use it like any other data type. I assume that the forum link provided in the above post is the best one to understand.
Thanks,

How to return multiple values in a single field in oracle 10g reports

I have written a formula column using cursor for loop which returns 3 values. But whenever i am assigning the formula column as the source of a field which is inside a repeating frame the field in only showing the first value returned from the formula column. The rest two values are not shown. Please help what to do.

User11238124 (please include your name)
If I understand your issue, you should set the vertical elasticity of the repeating frame to 'Variable' or 'Expand'. It is likely set to 'Fixed'.
Hope this helps,

How to return a value with a try block?????????

hi there
if a method needs to return a value, but there maybe an exception caught in a try block, where should i place the return statement, outside the try bccok or inside
code...
public String readFrom()
String temp;
try
temp = br.readLine();
catch (IOException ex)
System.out.println(ex);
return temp;
}

It should be coded as you have it. There should (ideally)
be only one exit point from a method. If an exception is
thrown, the code in the catch block will be executed and
processing will continue. You can use the catch block
to set the value of the variable that is being returned to
indicate that an error has occurred. In your example,
you could set the String temp to null.

How to return a value from a textbox input?

I'm having trouble writing code to return a value (e.g. mytextbox.value) from a textbox for a function calculation. The textbox is defined within a Group (e.g. mygroup) which is contained within the scene and stage (e.g. mystage). The compiler objects to "mystage.scene.mygroup.mytextbox.value" with "can't find symbol."
What is the correct syntax for returning a texbox value? Is there a way to do this without using "bind with inverse"?

You will need to hold the instance of your TextBox. Try something like that:
var myTextBox: TextBox;
Group {
     content: [
          myTextBox = TextBox {
function doSomethingWithText() {
    println("this text variable is updated just when textBox loses the focus: {myTextBox.text}");
    println("this rawText variable is updated in realtime (including when user is typing): {myTextBox.rawText}");
}

How to return multiple values from a getProperty method

Hi All,
Even though I understand that getPropprty can return only one value. I just have a doubt. Is it possible to use a getProperty method of a bean like
public String getemp_Info(){
return emp_Id;
return emp_Name;
}also can any one explain me where and how to use private variables and public variables in a bean.
R.Ramesh.

I already have it I just wanted to know that is there any usage like the one I asked, anyway thanks for your suggestion.
I have already used another getProperty method as balusc quoted.

How to return a value to parent unbounded taskflow?

All
I called a task flow in a page with a parameter and want to pass back a object in the task flow back to the page. How can i do this?
Now i tried configure a return value in the taskflow.xml such as ${pageFlowScope.myOjbect} but i can not get the object in the main page?
Any one can give tips?

Hi,
obviously you did it wrong with the return parameters
1. The return value on the task flow identifies the object in the task flow to read the value from. For example #{pageFlowScope.attr1) reads the value from the task flow page flow scope attr1 valie
2. On the task flow call activity, you map the return value - by its parameter id - with a managed bean property or memory scope to where the value gets copied to upon exit of the task flow. This then is a scope accessible from the ubounded task flow

Ps.: forget about the sessionScope suggestion mentioned before

How to return the values of LOV to items in forms

Hi,
I have created an LOV based on a select statment that return 3 columns
I want to return theses 3 values to 3 items in the form?
I'll appreciate any suggestion.
Imad.

An LOV has only two components: text and value. You can see them in the html page's source. A work around is to use a procedure to query the data and create a cursor, count the # of records in the query. Create a javascript function to create parallel arrays to hold the data on the html page and pass the function parameters via an event on the page. Create the procedure in the db.
procedure follows...
CURSOR c_customer
/* use a cursor to get all the prices */
IS
SELECT
c.customer_number, c.customer_name, NVL(a.address1, 'N/A') ADDRESS1,
NVL(a.address2, 'N/A') ADDRESS2, NVL(a.city, 'N/A') CITY, NVL(a.state, 'N/A') STATE,
NVL(a.province, 'N/A') PROVINCE, NVL(a.country, 'N/A') COUNTRY, NVL(a.postal_code, 'N/A') POSTAL_CODE
FROM table1 b, table2 a, table3 c;
v_count NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT COUNT(*)
INTO v_count
FROM table1 b, table2 a, table3 c
where ...;
/*where clause and table names have been removed, use your's. They should be identical in both queries */
/* begin your Javascript, substituting values from the
cursor as necessary into parallel arrays*/
HTP.p('<script language="JavaScript1.1">');
HTP.p('');
HTP.p ('</SCRIPT>');
END gen_customerlookup;
A specific example is found in the ORACLE Press book by Steve Vandiver & Kelly Cox "ORACLE9i Application Server Portal Handbook" ISBN # 0-07-222249-2 pages 358 - 361. Several lines, and better explaination than room for here.
get_customer (this.form, this.name, this.value); is placed in the appropriate event. Put "sales.gen_customer_lookup;" in the "before displaying the page" section. sales is the schema where the procedure gen_customer_lookup is created.

How to return Parameters values as a column in a query?

Hi All,
I have number of parameters in a report.
I need to return its interred values as a column in a query to use this column in a chart.
I want this column to be the second one in this query:
SELECT ROWNUM
FROM ALL_OBJECTS
WHERE ROWNUM <= 10
That is if there is any way to use these parameters directly as a column in the chart no need for the previous statement.
Note: I am using Reports 6i

Dear sir
You can enter parameter as column in query like
select :parameter p1, &hexadecima_paramataer p2, empcode
from emps;
that query make parameter as query column .
&hexadecimal paramater can refer to database column of table emps
and :paramater can refer to static string

Dynamic SQL: how to return a value

Hi all
I am going to construct statement which will be running some select statement and I need to return value, in this case just 1 value, into the program.
I know I can insert this value in a table and later select it from there.
Is there any way to avoid creation of table?
Thank you, Gene.

Did you mean you are going for PL/SQL. If so,
Declare a variable of appropriate data type (It would be best to declare it as the same as the column data type you are pulling in a SELECT Statement)
If your select statement returns one row for that record you can use something like:
SELECT your_column INTO the_variable_declared
FROM your_table
....Hope this helps,
Regards,
Jo
