How to use ActionForm validate() method in ADF/Struts project

Hi
We are developing a project using ADF/Struts. We are not planning to use entity level validation. Rather we prefer to have it at Struts Form Bean level. So we need to have validate() method in Form Bean.
That mean we need to have seperate bean for all the actions /jsp. The ADF's DataForm form bean is not gonna work for us. Is that correct.
Please let me know...am I in the right direction.
That could be a different discussion why we don't prefer entity level validation

You can use the Struts validator plug-in (there's a howto on doing that on OTN) and it will handle the basics for you through XML definitions.
If you want to specifically have a Form bean with a Validate() then the issue is that the current "DataForm" is a generic bean driven of the databinding files, so yes you'd have to write a bean per screen to use instead and loose that benefit of having a universal Bean. (Internally the DataPage and DataActions will respect the ActionForm APIs so you can pluf your own ActionForm subclass in with no problem.
Plan B might be to leave the DataForm Bean in place and instead override the lifecycle of the datapage, probably in prepareModelUpdates()

How to use the POST method In Oracle APEX 3.1

Hi,
In APEX if we are submitting the page the parameters( Variables ) will pass through URL.

thanks in advance.
Cheers,

In APEX if we are submitting the page the parameters( Variables ) will pass through URL.No they won't. Submission POSTs the <tt>wwv_flow</tt> form.
Sometimes a branch may be performed after submission, generating a URL in which parameter values are visible. To avoid this, use the save state before branching option.
Other actions—like using navigation lists, or clicking a link in a report—will perform a GET using parameters in the URL. In these cases using Session State Protection is advised.

How to use ApplicationModule custom methods in JSP?

I have an ApplicationModule for which I have defined several custom methods (in the ApplicationModuleImpl class). I wish to invoke these methods from a JSP. I'm having trouble getting a scriptable reference to the application module object in the JSP. I can get data from the view objects using the jbo:xxx data tags, but I can't get any sort of reference to the application module object that would allow me to invoke the methods. I have tried editing the application module to expose the methods as client methods, but still can't get a reference to them.
My main questions:
1. Is there a way to invoke the custom methods somewhere between the jbo:ApplicationModule tag and the jbo:ReleasePageResources tag?
2. Is there a way to declare and use the application module without using the jbo:ApplicationModule tag? Would I ever benefit from doing this?

Alan, here's how to call a custom method String getSomeInfo() that I've created on my application module, MyModule in this example. Also, in this example the id parameter in the ApplicationModule tag is "am" (<jbo:ApplicationModule id="am"...):
First, edit your application module. In the app module editor, go to the Client Methods tab and move getSomeInfo into the selected list.
Next, edit your JSP to call your custom method.
<% MyModule myAm = (MyModule)am.useApplicationModule(); String someInfo = myAm.getSomeInfo(); %>
You also have to add the correct import statements to the page tag in your JSP:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252" import="oracle.jbo.*, MyModule.common.*"%>
Hope this helps

How to use the Validate step for Approve step

Hi Experts,
I have modeled a workflow with the steps start,process, validate, approve, process and stop.
Process is set to owner and approve is set to some other user user1.
My requirement is as follows :
1) Approve the records by approver and then it should send it to the next step for further processing
1.1) if the approver did not approve the record it should send a error message until the record is approved. So it should not send it to the next step when record is not approved
I am using a field called item status for approving and disapproving the records. My validation is based on this field only... Validation working fine when i tested it manually.
But my issue is when am using this validate step in workflow design validation is getting triggered for all the users.as per my requirement only approver should get the error message.But in my scenario owner is getting the error message and approver is not getting any message.
How can i use the validate step only for particular step say approve in workflow.
Can anyone please help me out how should use validate step only for approve step...
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.

Hi ,
I have set the validation property to "None".
My design is as follows :
start->process->validate->approve->stop.
Owner is assigned to process step and approver is assigned to approve step.
Now my problem is owner is also getting this error message along with the approver. AS per the design both process, approve users are getting the error message.
As per my requirement only approver should get this prompt but not the owner.
How can i restrict only for specifc user to get this message.
Can anybody please advice how can restrict the owner to not get this error message...
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.

Why is the ActionForms validate-Method called twice?

Hello forum,
I'm new to struts and want to develop a form, where an internetuser can leave a comment to an article. Just like most sides, an image with an text is displayed, the text has to be written into an inputfield before the comment is commited in order to be saved.
When an user puts in no text or a wrong one, a errormessage is displayed, the old image is deleted and an new one is created and shown to the user. His input still stays in the fields.
I proof the correctness of the word in the validate-Method of the ActionForm and it works fine.
Now I've the following problem:
If the user puts in the correct text, the comment is saved and the side is displayed again including his comment.. But also all the input of the form should be erased. But for some reason, its not and the validate method is called again and since there is a new wordvarifyingimage and a new text to be inserted, it throws an error which is displayed again. Also, all the input of his last message is present!
So, I guess I miss a big point about the ActionForm handling. Why is the ActionForm called twice and why doesn't it erase the old input? I try to do this in the Action class after saving the comment, setting all the formparameters to "" or null.
Can anybody give me a hint?
Would be a big big help since I've not found anything googling about this issue.
If you need code, just tell me which part I put in here (ActionForm, Action, struts-config or jsp-file)
Thanxs in advance,

Hi tryos,
IS_SELECT method is available at element and node level.
check this...
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/fd/be5b4150b38147e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
Check this is set_selected method, try with is_select also...
Select All in table
if lo_el_it_lips->is_selected ( flag = abap_true ).
endif.
// Node
DO count TIMES.
lo_nd_it_lips1->is_selected( // lo_el_it_lips - element has no index, only flag.
flag = abap_true
index = int ).
ADD 1 TO int.
ENDDO.
Cheers,
Kris.

How i use bapi as method?

hi friends.....
i have BAPI........i want use that BAPI as METHOD for creating task or
how i use this that BAPI in my workflow template.
Thanks in advance,
bhaskar

You have to create a method on a business object, althoug in most cases this already exists in SAP,
so first check in SWO1 for the business object if this is already done.
If not, use, for instance method change of business object BUS2012 as a reference (go to swo1, type in bus2012, click display, position the cursor on the method change and click button program)
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

How i can implement onPageLoad method in ADf Fusion Middleware

I want to implement onPageLoad method in ADF Fusion Middleware. What i did so far is :
- Created my own PagePhaseListener class which implements PagePhaseListener interface.
I wrote following code in that class
public void afterPhase(PagePhaseEvent event) {
PageLifecycleContext ctx = (PageLifecycleContext)event.getLifecycleContext();
if (event.getPhaseId() == Lifecycle.PREPARE_RENDER_ID) {
BindingContainer bc = ctx.getBindingContainer();
onPagePreRender();
bc = null;
public void onPageLoad() {
// Subclasses can override this.
public void onPagePreRender() {
// Subclasses can override this.
public void beforePhase(PagePhaseEvent event) {
PageLifecycleContext ctx = (PageLifecycleContext)event.getLifecycleContext();
if (event.getPhaseId() == Lifecycle.PREPARE_MODEL_ID) {
BindingContainer bc = ctx.getBindingContainer();
onPageLoad();
bc = null;
- Created a backingbean with session scope and override onPageLoad method
- Inside pageDefinition i added Controller class using EL like #{MyPhaseListenerBean}
but it game me error that no "MyPhaseListenerBean class found.

Hi ,
When am Adding ControllerClass ( ControllerClass="com.hp.rebates.grs.view.backing.fragments.ItemTabsBean" ) for PageDef File am getting error as...
