HTTP Call back functionality

Hi All,
I need to implement a HTTP call back functionality to do a handshake between my portal and a 3rd party application.
Framework: Oracle ADF
Application server: Weblogic 10.3.6
1. We will do a HTTP POST (that includes a token for validation purpose) from our portal to a 3rd party application, lets say, XAPP.
2. Then the XAPP will make a call back using the call back URL of our portal. When they do the call back, they include the token that we provided to them in Step1.
3. We need to accept the call back request and validate the token. After this I need to resume with the response processing from the initial POSTing session.
4. After all the validations, I need to open XAPP's URL in a browser.
Here the main catch is to keep the initial POSTing session alive(waiting) while accepting the call back request and then continue with the response processing from the initial POSTing session.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
make sure to post this to the WebCenter forum too as i would assume they more likely have this as a requirement too

How to use call back function ?

i have MlEditmanager class which extends xyzManager class. I also want to extend Eventdispatcher .. but it is not possible to extend more than one class ...
so the work around can be to create call back function. private var xyz:Function; --> how to use this syntax?
Can someone help me how to achieve this?
Urgent pls.

Hi

Though this is not your requirement, however in the source code callback functions are used. You can get clue from that.
Hope this helps

How to unrigister the call back function,in vb6 with DAQmx 8.5

I use daqmx api which named DAQmxRegisterEveryNSamplesEvent to register my call back function,When I invoke the function DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxStopTask(taskHandleAnalog)) to stop my Task.then i call the procedure AD_OPEN  again,it raise an error ,tell me that i need to unregister the event,the data has transfer into the buffer.how can i unregister the event,please look at the following code.
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
Private Sub create()
   Dim channel As String
    Dim minVoltage, maxVoltage As Double
    Dim samplesPerChannelPerRead As Double
    Dim sampleMode As Long
    Dim boolVal As Boolean
    On Error GoTo AdErrorHandler:
    ' Get values from UI controls
    channel = "Dev2/ai1:2"
    minVoltage = -10
    maxVoltage = 10
    samplesPerChannelPerRead = 100
     If (taskHandleAnalog <> 0) Then
         DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxStopTask(taskHandleAnalog))
        DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxClearTask(taskHandleAnalog))
        taskhandle = 0
    End If
    ' Configure the task
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateTask("", taskHandleAnalog))
     DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan(taskHandleAnalog, "Dev2/ai0", "", DAQmx_Val_InputTermCfg_RSE, minVoltage, maxVoltage, DAQmx_Val_VoltageUnits2_Volts, vbNullString))
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateAIVoltageChan(taskHandleAnalog, channel, "", DAQmx_Val_InputTermCfg_Diff, minVoltage, maxVoltage, DAQmx_Val_VoltageUnits2_Volts, vbNullString))
End Sub
Private Sub AD_Open()
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming(taskHandleAnalog, "", 200, DAQmx_Val_Rising, DAQmx_Val_AcquisitionType_ContSamps, samplesPerChannelPerRead))
    'Find number of samples specified
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxGetTaskNumChans(taskHandleAnalog, numChannels))
    'Configure Event Callbacks
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxRegisterEveryNSamplesEvent(taskHandleAnalog, 1, 4, 0, AddressOf EveryNSamplesEventHandler1, Nothing))
ReDim dataBuffer(numChannels * samplesPerChannelPerRead - 1)
    ' Start the DAQmx Task
'    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCfgDigEdgeStartTrig(taskHandleAnalog, "/Dev1/PFI2", DAQmx_Val_Edge1_Falling))
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxStartTask(taskHandleAnalog))
    ' Update UI
    Exit Sub
AdErrorHandler:
    MsgBox Err.Description
End Sub

This may be a bit late, so hopefully you found this on your own. But in order to unregister the event pass a null value for the callback function parameter in the DAQmxRegisterEveryNSamplesEvent function (Nothing in VB).

1) Very few PL/SQL programmers would consider it good form to have procedures with excessive numbers of parameters. In any language, though, it's possible to write poor code.
2) Initially, you're right-- the performance of properly defined SQL statements via JDBC is little different than the performance of PL/SQL stored procedures. Frequently, however, SQL statements in Java applications do not take advantage of bind variables, which will significantly limit their scalability. Maintaining SQL statements in client applications makes it significantly more difficult on the support side-- if you find a bug in a stored procedure, you can fix the bug in one place-- if you find a bug in embedded SQL, you have to fix the code everywhere the client is deployed. Maintaining PL/SQL stored procedures also makes optimization easier-- frequently your DBA will be able to boil down a stored procedure to a couple of SQL statements and vastly improve performance (i.e. INSERT INTO <<table name>> SELECT <<column list>> from <<other table>> rather than looping over a cursor doing single-row inserts). Finally, PL/SQL stored procedures enable reuse-- when the next application wants to access the database, it doesn't have to rewrite your SQL.
3) If the alternative to the bind variables (?'s) is a bunch of literals, I'll spend the extra time writing the code for the tremendous increase in scalability.
4-6) You can certainly pass classes from Java to PL/SQL and back. You can also write Java stored procedures, rather than writing PL/SQL stored procedures). Oracle has been one of the leading proponents of Java.

Invoking call back functions

Hi there,
While a client can invoke server side functions on the bean, is there anyway we can invoke a client side function (call back) from the bean itself?

Not within EJB, but there are many ways to communicate. RMI and JMS would be two possibilities; though I would be a bit suspicious about the legality of using RMI from within an EJB, JMS is perfectly acceptable.

Stateless Bean - scope of instance variable in EJB Timer call back function

Hi,
I would like to know on the scope of an instance variable of a Stateless Bean object,
when used in a EJB Timer call back.Let me explain this in more detail below.
I have a requirement to use a EJB Timer.
For this, I have created a stateless object since Timer creation needs to be done
from a stateless bean. I have a member variable "count" of the stateless bean class.
In the timer call back(ejbTimeout), I am able to use this count variable during
each time of the call back, and the value of this variable is also updated properly.
I have a few queries with respect to the above behaviour:
1) Does stateless bean object not get destroyed once the Timer is created from the Bean?
2) If the Bean object is not destroyed, then when does the bean object get destroyed?
3) If both (1) and (2) are not true, then can anyone explain on how the above behaviour is possible?
Thanks in advance,
Ulrich

Hi Ulrich,
The ejb timer is associated with the stateless session bean component, not with a particular bean instance. There is no formal relationship between the bean instance that called createTimer() and the bean instance on which the timer callback happens. If they're the same in your test run that's just a coincidence and not something your application should be depending on.
In the stateless session bean model, the container can create and destroy stateless session bean instances at any time. The container is free to pick any stateless session bean instance to service any client invocation or timer callback. If you need to pass context into a timer callback, one way to do it is via the timer "info" object. However, the info object is immutable so it wouldn't be a good match for a counter. You could of course always just use a database for any necessary coordinated state.

How to access Call Back Functions using *.dll in the Labview?

Hai,
I am Pavan Ram Kumar Somu.
I am new to Labview, currently I am working on MVB Interface.
I need to access the API functions from *.dll file in Labview, as of now , I am doing this with Call function Library node in Labview but it does not support the following data types like
    1. Pointer Arguments(To which memory it points in Labview)
    2. function pointers Arguments
    3 .pointers in structures and pointer structures in structures and many other data types.
Please Answer the below queries also:
1. How to pass pointer arguments to API functions in DLL and how to collect pointer
    return types from API functions in DLL
2. How to pass structure arguments to API functions in DLL and how to collect structure
    return types from API functions in DLL
3. How to use callback functions(nothing but function pointers) in Labview and how to
    collect callback fuctions return types from API functions in DLL
I need your help while passing these datatypes to API functions in DLL from labview.
Suggest me if there is any other alternative for implementing this task.
I am referencing some examples here:
Examples:
I)
Unsigned short int gf_open_device(void *p_device_config, unsigned long int client_life_sign_timeout, unsigned short int *device_error)
void *p_device_config: How to access/pass these arguments in LabView and to which memory location it points in LabView.
II) #include <windows.h>
     #include <process.h>
     HANDLE rcvEvent0, rcvEvent1;
/* Function call*/
CanGetReceiveEvent(handle[0], &rcvEvent0);
Above is a piece of C code, Now I want to use HANDLE datatype which is windows based, how to use these type in the LABVIEW.

Event Handler Call Back Functions

Hi all,
I've followed http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/CRM/ExtendBOLModelBTwithcustomtabletyperelationship that wiki to get my Z table accessible in the BOL through a relationship to BT. Create and display opperations are working just fine.
My problem is with Modify and Delete actions.
Essentially, when I press Save in the BOL Browser (after modifying some field in my Z Entity) and have a look at the Event Trace, I see that the events Init, Save, Init have been called. The problem here is that Init is being called before Save, clearing the global class table that holds my entities. Therefore, when Save is called the table is empty and no entities are updated in the DB.
My Init function is called on '88 (Initialize Document)' and the Save function is called on '80 (Save Document)'. Is there some way of ensuring that Init will not be called before Save?
Thanks for your time and help,
Patrick.

Hi folks.
Some more info.
I've been trying to figure out how the SAP standard works, so I'm having a look at PARTNERSET/PARTNER, which have the same set up against BT that my objects have. I've put break-points in to the functions CRM_PARTNER_INIT_EC & CRM_PARTNER_SAVE_EC.
From the BOL Browser I now find a Partner relationship, make a modification and press Save.
I see that here, also, the calling order is INIT followed by SAVE; but here the modifications are actually stored to the DB.
So, is there something wrong with the code in the INIT/SAVE functions from that wiki?
Essentially, has anyone here ever taken a Z Table, created a BOL entry for it with a relationship to BT (or any other component) and had it actually work?
I've read every resource I can find on this, the wiki I linked, another by a guy named Harel, another that has us use the component set SO2; the CRM WebUI programming book and the Deep Dive course material and you can add to that many, many forum posts. None of them result in entities (with relationships) that actually work.
Some insight/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
P.

Re: Forte and OrbixWeb call-back

We have created a business process manager (BPM) layer between our client GUI
and business model objects that supports Java call-in/call-out. This enables
switching out the Forte windows with Java windows for a web solution with
minimal code re-write.
We were able to get most functionality to work as per our design, which
included registering a call back function from a Java GUI in the BPM, but had
to make some sacrifices due to a Forte bug, at least under 3.0.D. We turned
in case #38434, detailing errors when we tried to fire a callback method with
parameters, example below ("callback" was the Java object passed in.)
method TestIIOPBackend.FireCallback(input message: Framework.string)
begin
if callback != nil then
task.part.logmgr.putline('Firing callback');
//WORKS
callback.CallMe();
//ERROR!
callback.CallMeString(message);
else
task.part.logmgr.putline('Callback not set');
end if;
end method;
This may have been fixed in 3.0.F, we found a way to work around it in our
design and haven't investigated since.

Peggy,
1) Do you have experience with PowerBuilder and Forte' applications running at
the same time on the same (laptop) computer? Here I'm thinking
about any potential resource constraints? Memory Requirements?As log as you are using Win95 or NT you should not be concerned about WIN-resources. Memory depends more on what your 2 tier PB application requires than what your Forté would require.

How to call javascript function in back bean of jsf

hi,
i am trying to call java script function in back bean but not done. Is there any code for call javascript function in bean file.

Java runs at server side.
JSF produces HTML output.
Server sends HTML output to client.
Java stops running.
HTML runs at client side.
JS starts to run in HTML.
Clear? Java is a server side language. JS is a client side language. To run JS using JSF, simply print it out to the HTML so that it get invoked when the HTML runs.

ADF Question: call javascript function from backing bean?

Hi all,
I am running JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 with ADF BC.
Heres my situation:
I have a table, and after inserting a new row, then committing, I want to call a javascript function. I tried using the onkeyup javascript to force a click of the save button, and then call my function after that. However, I really only want the second function to be called AFTER the commit has occurred.
I have tried putting a setTimeout on the second function, but this never executes then. Is there some way that I can call the second javascript function from the backing bean? Is there a better workaround for this? Here is some code:
        function submitCreate(e) {
            var _event = (window.event) ? event : e;
            var KeyID = _event.keyCode;
            switch (KeyID)
                case 13:
                    document.getElementById("form1:tvoTable:commitButton").onclick();
                    doAjax();
                    break;
        function doAjax() {
            var item = document.getElementById("form1:inputText3").innerHTML;
            getAjax(item, "FULL");
        }Thanks,
Heather

Maybe try adding an af:script block in your jsp as a partial target in your backing bean when you commit to the database? We are doing something similar when we get a tab DisclosureEvent but the principle should be the same.
In our jsp we have:
<af:script id="scriptID" text="alert('javascript here');"/>
In the backing bean we have:
method(DisclosureEvent de) {
// get a component somehow or the component, we get it from the disclosure event
// but you could use a binding also. if you don't have the exact script element you need
// to find it like we do below.
UIComponent c = de.getComponent();
// Find our real script component
UIComponent target = c.findComponent(":scriptID");
// get the adf context
AdfFacesContext adfContext = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
// add the script as a partial target.
if(target != null) {
adfContext.addPartialTarget(target);
This relies on PPR though, which you may not be doing. If you are navigating to a new page you could set an indication in a backing bean and then access that in an <af:script> block in the new page or even generate the Javascript you want depending on your logic and access all of it via an EL binding on the af:script tag:
<af:script id="scriptID" text="#{bbean.generatedScript}"/>
Hope this helps!

HTTP - Calling a PL/SQL Function

I am wanting to call a PL/SQL Function over the web.
Say if I am using Oracle APEX and my user is the standard "HR".
How would I call a function from PL/SQL made by the user HR called EXAMPLE_FUNCTION.

It depends on where you want to call the function. Easiest method would be to create a region based on the PLSQL function.
If you want to do some plsql function after the page is rendered, then you should find out the event for the field such as onchange or onblurr and call
a Javascript. The javascript can cal the plsql function...
Also note that under the database forums there is a forum for Apex and u can see many samples

How to get caller id function back on iPhone 4s

For some reason my phone comes up as unknown when I call other phones, and the caller id function is disabled in my settings, help????

Contact your carrier. Caller ID is a carrier feature. Not all carriers support turning it on and off in the phone settings.

Window doesn't close wheh Call Library Function Node set to Run in Any Thread

This is a problem regarding Call Library Function Nodes running in the UI thread or any thread.
I have a camera which has its own API supplied as a dll. I have created a set of VI wrappers which each call a function in the dll through a Call Library Function Node.
Initially each CLFN was set to 'Run in the UI thread' (the default).
To start the camera streaming images I call (through a CLFN)
ICubeSDK_Start(int CamIndex, Hwnd, ImgHandle, bool Preview, bool callback);
If Preview = True then the image is displayed in a preview window.
If ImgHandle = NULL a default preview window
is used.
In the CLFN definition I define:
ImgHandle as a U32
Preview as a I32
To stop the camera streaming images I call
ICubeSDK_Stop(int CamIndex)
In the actual implementation I set ImgHandle = 0 (NULL) and Preview = 1 (true).
This all works fine, and a preview window is opened and images displayed. When I call ICubeSDK_Stop the preview window is closed.
However, I would prefer to set the CLFN to 'Run in any thread' because
a) when run in the UI thread the preview window randomly gets sent to the back when I switch focus between open VI windows (presumably because it is in the same thread as the VIs)
b) I don't want to put unnecessary stuff in the UI thread
c) my (naive?) understanding is that it is safer to run in any thread
So I have set all CLFNs to 'Run in any thread'
When I do this the preview window opens OK, and behaves like any other non LabVIEW controlled window in terms of focus. But when I call ICubeSDK_Stop() the preview window does not get closed properly, it just shows a blank image. I can't close it manually, there is no X in the corner and no option to close it from the taskbar. To get rid of it I have to close the LabVIEW project it is spawned from, which often results in a crash. It does appear as a separate item in task manager but if I 'end process' it, LabVIEW closes (and often crashes) as well.
If I change only the CLFNs that call the Start and Stop functions back to 'Run in the UI thread' then it all works fine again, except that the preview window gets sent to the back randomly as before.
So, what do I have to do to get the preview window to close properly if I set the CLFN to 'Run in any thread'.
Alternatively, is there a way to close the window programmatically (ie force it to close) after I have called ICube_Stop.
Thanks

Hi Dave,
The "Run In UI Thread" switches from the thread the VIs currently executing in to the user interface thread. If you select "Run in Any Thread", the Call Library Function Node continues in the currently executing thread. By default, all Call Library Function Nodes run in the User Interface thread.
Before you configure the Call Library Function Node to run in any thread, you have to make sure that the code is thread safe. Code is thread safe when it does not store any global data (e.g. global variables, files on disks, etc.), does not access any hardware, does not make calls to any functions, libraries or drivers that are not thread safe.
Unfortunately, since you said that your DLL accesses hardware, it is not recommended to use "Run in Any Thread." This is probably why you are seeing the crash.
If your preview window gets sent to the back you can programmatically bring it forward. Here is an example of how this can be done: http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-4551
If you want to completely close the window down you can do so as described in this link: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/81E9C1441900FFCE8625748F0055DBB0?OpenDocument

Calling a function in a swf with TLFTextField from an external program fails

I have a program A that loads another swf B, and after B is loaded, A will call a function of B. It used to work when B creates a TextField and uses TextFormat, but when I changed to creating a TLFTextField, I got this error:
Reference Error: Error #1069: Property loadCurrentPictureFromMenu not found on ECard__Preloader__ and there is no default value.
at ECard/swfLoadCompleteEventHandler()....
And also
Warning: Ignoring 'secure' attribute in policy file from http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/crossdomain.xml. The secure attribute is only permitted in HTTPS and socket policy files......
So I wrote these 2 programs to test this:
----------------------- Test B -------------------------
import fl.text.TLFTextField;
import flashx.textLayout.formats.TextLayoutFormat;
import flashx.textLayout.elements.TextFlow;
var myFormat:TextLayoutFormat = new TextLayoutFormat();
myFormat.fontFamily = "Kids";
myFormat.fontSize = 24;
var tlfTextField:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
tlfTextField.x = 50;
tlfTextField.y = 50;
addChild(tlfTextField);
var myTextFlow:TextFlow = tlfTextField.textFlow;
myTextFlow.hostFormat = myFormat;
myTextFlow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();
tlfTextField.text = "Testing this";
function changeText(string:String):void
     tlfTextField.text = string;
---------------------- Test A -----------------------------------
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("testTLFTextField.swf");
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(urlRequest);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadingCompleteEventHandler);
function loadingCompleteEventHandler(evt:Event):void
     addChild(loader);
     loader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadingCompleteEventHandler);
     var mc:MovieClip = evt.currentTarget.content;
     mc.changeText("We are here");
I got Error #1069 again, but when I changed TLFTextField back to TextField, it works again. Test A can now find the function "changeText()" in Test B.
I am using CS5.5.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

I had this written in the program and commented it out when I was trying to debug an earlier problem. I uncommented the Embed statement, but it is still not working on Android. Running on PC is fine. I will try out a few more things, if it still does not work, I will open a new thread.
Thanks all for your help!
