I lost my design time pages! - urgent

OK, I did a not so smart thing. I had created a page group, and I was trying to set it as the home page for general users. I went into global settings and changed the home page to my page group root page. I no longer have access to Edit or Navigate or Builder, even when I am logged in as OrclAdmin. This means I cannot undo what I did. Help! How do I get back to where I was?
Laura Davis

As one option, you can simply add "&_mode=16" (without the "s) to whatever page you are on and that should get you back into edit mode. From edit mode, you should be able to reach both builder and navigator using the links that are part of the edit mode toolbar. Hope that helps.

URGENT: inconsistent display of design time pages

hello,
I have installed oracle9ias rel 2 on a single machine running on windows xp for academic purposes. i seem to have this problem of getting errors when loading pages and the buttons on the pages doesn't work. sometimes the pages displayed are also messed up and inconsistent. how can i solve this error? Currently,i'm stucked at trying to develop a form for Portal and it keeps on giving me errors on step 4:Formatting and validations.
here's a list of things i've done currently to try to solve the problems :-
-restart OC4J_Portal instance whenever the page doesn't change but it still keeps on giving me errors.
-set my internet explorer to check for newer pages everytime i visit the pages.
-install netscape navigator and hopefully it would perform better than internet explorer. but it's still the same although it improved a bit.
would the situation be improved if i installed Oracle9iAs on windows2003 server environment?
Or would it be better if i installed Oracle9iAS with UTF-8 character types instead of the OS default type?
anybody that has installed oracle portal on a single machine environment and have encountered this problem b4 please help ?i'm so frustrated by keeping my fingers to press f5 for hundreds of times just to get a page load properly. please help it's urgent. thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum!
I noticed that on a web page I had. It turned out the text on that page was in a graphical object and the text on the other pages was not. Replacing the first page with a plain text presentation made my links consistent.
Your problem could be another issue. Best would be to provide a link to your site so we can give it a look.

JSF Design Time View Not working correctly for ADF/JSF components

My project is not using any external tag libraries. It is based purely on ADF core/html and JSF core/html components. The design time view does not show the appropriate presentation, everything is shown as nexted frame containers (I suppose how you would show a component that does not have a visual representation).
If I create a new project and copy my jsp (jsf) pages over they show perfectly. I did this activity and all was going well in the new project and then I lost the design time view again. I cannot tell you what I did to cause the issue, maybe it was a modification to the web.xml as has been suggested in some other threads. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for that causes this problem, what corrective actions I might take to eliminate the issues

Ok I have isolated this issue. In my phase listener I had this line of code:
private static final Logger _logger = Logger.getLogger(EigRequest.class.getPackage().getName());
and I changed it to
private static final Logger _logger =
Logger.getLogger(EigRequest.class.getName());
and design mode started to work. I guess either of the above works for me although I do not understand why the line works when you run the application but not in design mode.
Moral to the story is if something fails in any one of these types of decorators you will drop into a raw view mode. The question I have is if errors are occuring how do I figure out where they may be. There is no indication that anything is wrong with the exception that you lose most of the design mode functionality.
This was not a compile issue, this was not a runtime issue. It took me quite a few hours of writing a test program to validate that it was not just writing a phase-listener issue; then launching, editing, relaunching the application to find the problem. I will say that a good portion of the code came from a Eclipse project. If you add the offending lines of code while using JDeveloper you do not loose design mode immediately. You only see the problem the next time you start JDeveloper which complicates finding the problem.

Adf components not seen at design time

Hi All,
At design time pages are displayed like:
<>Root
<>Output @page directive
<>View
<>Html,
and so on, for any page in the application. In another application all the pages look fine (if I copy their contents). Tag libraries and libraries in project properties tab are the same as in normal projects. What settings should I check to be able to see all components in normal mode at design time? This is JDeveloper 10.1.3.2.0.
Thanks

URGENT: Creating LIST item during design time.

Hi All,
Is it possible to create LIST item [with MultiSelect option] during design time. The Developer guide has only programmatic implementation. So, Please let me know, whether its possible or not.
Thanks.

Yes, it has to be done programatically only. There is no property in the Property pallet to do this declaratively as of now.

Report does not print exactly same as it appears at design time

Hello,
I am using SAP Crystal report with VS 2010.
I designed a report. At design time every thing appears fine. Margins are set to 0, printer is selected and page size is custom.(right click on report, design>pagesetup)
When I use <reportname>.printtoprinter(), it dramatically changes the text size and margins of the report in hard copy. I tried literally everything for this. Especially It adds nearly 2 inches extra margin at top.Also , at run time it changes the font size to 8 or 9 points if i have set it to 12 at design time.
I get the same problem if I do following:
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rptRcAbh;
   crystalReportViewer1.PrintReport();
HOWEVER!!
When I do this:
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rptRcAbh;
AND when I manually click the print button of crystal report viewer, i get EXACTLY SAME result as design time. This is what I am expecting from printoprinter() method. But Its changing result dramatically.
Why is this happening? Am I forgetting any setting?
I must use reprot.printtoprinter() method here. Because I am printing the bill receipt. I dont want the user to go to printpreview then click print. AND I must get same result as design on printed page.
Please help me. I am in urgent need.

Hi Don,
Firstly I am very very thankful to you for replying me.
I know I must have irritated you a bit cuz I was expecting everything ready which I should have :P
but I was in urgent need and there was no time for me to read everything. I must say a thing that I did not get good search results on printcontroller when I used search box of this website.
Well Thanks again for helping me in deed.
I am sure this must be the problem for many people across the globe, hence I am posting the exact code that helped me to print the document Accurately:

        //        rptRcAbh.Load("rptReceiptAbhishek.rpt", OpenReportMethod.OpenReportByTempCopy); i did't need this line
//////// Directly Entering data to the fields of the report.
                CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.TextObject txtname;
                CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.TextObject txtaddress;
                txtname = (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.TextObject)rptRcAbh.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects["txtRptName"];
                txtname.Text = cboInitials.Text + " " + cboDonarName.Text;
                txtaddress = (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.TextObject)rptRcAbh.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects["txtRptAdd"];

Ver 4: Still no support for Includes or Design Time Stylesheets?

Wow...well, without either of these I can't make use of this
product. I guess I'm confused at what types of users this product
may be marketed toward, although with the amount of focus put on
Blogs and Blogging and lack of focus on requests already made in
this forum for some time I'm getting a better idea. Hey, if they
want to "dumb this down" and make it a price point product that
purposely sits lower on the totem pole than Dreamweaver, then I
think that ought to be made more clear in the marketing materials.
I guess what's frustrating is that it's touted that it "uses the
Dreamweaver HTML Engine" but can't implement a feature like Design
Time Stylesheets? Would this put it too close to Dreamweaver in the
product line? I certainly don't think so but if it did implement
such a feature it would increase the demographic that could make
use of such a great product as many users are not going to rewrite
Includes OUT of their existing sites just to be able to use it.
Most intermediate to advanced designers will almost always,
and have been taught, to use includes to minimize page changes in
multiple places...it's such a common thing to do. But unless an
included page can be edited inline I have no way to turn my users
loose with this app. It seems reasonable to implement Design Time
Stylesheets like Dreamweaver does in which case, the users could
edit the included page directly and at least see it like it should
look with formatting which they can't do now because of the lack of
an applied stylesheet when opening the include file directly.
Do they expect that once we've written a site using includes
we should have our content providers use Dreamweaver? I don't know
about the rest of you but that's asking for a heck of a lot of
trouble turning non-designer/developers loose with
Dreamweaver...even using Templates.
Sorry for the rant, I'm just a bit frustrated as I really
need an app that can let me make use of "Content Providers" in our
company. And don't get me wrong, I'm a long time Macromedia/Adobe
supporter...just hoped something would happen with v4 that didn't
and was pretty sure it would based on user input on this and other
forums.
If anyone has ideas on workarounds for this problem I'd love
to hear!
Thx,
Mike

Hi. I'm going to reopen this thread instead of starting a new
one. Maybe someone here can help me figure out how Contribute can
solve my client's editing woes.
His site is built in ColdFusion, with template information
that's stored in the database for each page. Currently this is what
happens, simplified.
1. User requests /foo.cfm
2. Database looks up header, footer, and template to use for
/foo.cfm, or the page can use "no template" in which case
whatever's in the page gets put between the header and footer.
3. The template or the page will contain one or more
"editable regions", to use a Dreamweaver term. These blocks of HTML
are pulled out of the database, and can currently be edited within
the CMS by a browser-based WYSWYG editor.
The problem is, the WYSIWYG editor in question isn't up to
the task. Contribute seems to be, but I can't figure out how to fit
it into a workflow compatible with this site!
We don't use Dreamweaver and from what I've seen Dreamweaver
templates aren't going to work in this application. It seems that
if you make a change to the template, Dreamweaver has to go and
update all 800 pages that use the template ... ??!? ... if so,
lame.
I don't mind pulling out all the HTML content snippets from
the database and making a "database" on the filesystem of files
that can be edited in Contribute. No problem. One of these snippets
may be a "contact us" box or something that's used on 100 pages
throughout the site, so I'm not going to put stuff like that
separately on every page.
If I do this, though, my snippets when I open them to edit
them in Contribute are missing their CSS. This is because the CSS
is set up in the header file, which is not included in the snippet
HTML, obviously. The snippets also won't have the header and footer
navigation and stuff, but I can live with that.
How can I get the CSS to show up for my client when he edits
the HTML snippets?
The only solution I can think of is to put a stylesheet
include into every snippet, and then pull that out with a regular
expression from EVERY include at runtime whenever I display that
HTML to the end user. Talk about a gross, ugly, non-extensible
hack. Please tell me there's a better way...
Thanks for reading,
- Andrew.

Unable to see layout design in page editor

I am using JDeveloper version 11.1.2.0.0.
I downloaded the hands-on practices from the site Tuhra2 – Sample application for the Oracle JDeveloper 11g Handbook.
When I open the jspx files under Web Content, the visual design does not show up in the Design tab, instead I can only see the tags in text form.
What can I do to see the visual layout of the page?

I'm having same strange behavior.
Before my JDeveloper 11g R2 Design Page work OK. Than I checkout application from SVN to another folder in FS (my JDev was closed meanwhile). I opened JDev and closed "old" app and open "new" (from that different folder) app and my Visual Design Page Editor does not work well (it is rendering well unusual with some kind of structure view).
I have checkouted my app on another computer which has JDev installed in designer works ok. So obviously this is not app-based issue but JDev-vbased issue. What now?
And if I enable Tools -> Preferences -> JSP and HTML Visual Editor -> Show Design Time Messages in Log I'm getting:

ADF 12c Rendering Problems at design time

Hi all,
I am experimenting the following unexpected rendering problems at Design time with JDEV 12c:
- Sometimes a complete page is showed empty or blank but the components exists on the page (you can see them in the structure panel) and the page has no warnings.
- Sometimes I cannot click a component because it is behind the container.
- Sometimes the containers are rendered in other place on the page.
- Sometimes the containers not stretching
I remember some posts about this problem in 11.1.2.x but I think it was not fixed in 12c. For this reason, I have some questions:
What is the "real" memory requirement of Jdev 12c to avoid render problems?
What is the best configuration in jdev.conf?
Is it only a memory issue or Is it also a dependency reference problem? According to a blog post of Frank Nimphius:
Though with Oracle JDeveloper 11g the problem of the IDE not rendering JSF pages properly in the visual editor has become rare, there always is a way for the creative to break IDE functionality. A possible reason for the visual editor in JDeveloper to break is a failed dependency reference, which often is in a custom JSF PhaseListener configured in the faces-config.xml file. To avoid this from happening, surround the code in your PhaseListener class with the following statement (for example in the afterPhase method)
public void afterPhase(PhaseEvent phaseEvent) { if(!ADFContext.getCurrent().isDesigntime()){ ... listener code here ... } }
The reason why the visual editor in Oracle JDeveloper fails rendering the WYSIWYG view has to do with how the live preview is created. To produce the visual display of a view, JDeveloper actually runs the ADF Faces view in JSF, which then also invokes defined PhaseListeners. With the code above, you check whether the PhaseListener code is executed at runtime or design time.If it is executed in design time, you ignore all calls to external resources that are not available at design time.
source:
https://blogs.oracle.com/jdevotnharvest/entry/when_jdeveloper_ide_doesn_t
if it is a known problem, then Why is not fixed in 12c?
Jhon
Jdev 12c

Jhon, what Frank mentioned can't be fixed from the outside. You or the developers who use phase listens without thinking about the design view are the ones to fix this. Frank provided you with the solution for this.
However, we don't know if you use any self written phase listener. If you don't do this you have another problem. I do see some of your symptoms but can't reproduce them at the moment. As long as we can't reproduce the problem somehow it's difficult to to get a solution.
My advise is to keep your eyes open (add I do) and whenever you can reproduce this behaviour come back and tell us about it. It's hard or impossible to give the 'best' settings for Jdev.conf as they depend on other factors e.g. operating system, memory, other applications running at the same time and many more.
Personally I don't change the parameters as long as I can't put the problems to low memory (which I can't at the moment).

Design question - best way to design a page for layout at runtime

I have an application that I want to port to ADF faces. The application currently generates HTML for both the layout and for the data at runtime. All of the examples I have researched rely on a layout defined at design time, which will not work in my case as I have no way of knowing exactly what the layout will be until runtime.
My question is what is the best way to use ADF faces to dynamically build a web page where the page layout can not be known at design time, only at runtime. Is there a way to build the component tree that will generate the HTML at runtime?
Here are the specifics:
I have an existing application that generates repeating sections of HTML for a user view -- a set of step by step instructions. Each step in the instructions contains one or more of the following elements
- a heading
- some text
- a table with text in the table cells
There can be one or more steps in a document. Some documents will have a few steps, some will have many steps.
I am looking for the best way to generate the repeating HTML steps in a single HTML document.
One idea: can I use a fragment for each step and bind to the data at rutime? If this works, how would I create an iterator or loop that would be able to include the fragment n times to render a single HTML view showing the sequence of all steps?

Thanks for the suggestions, still don't have a good strategy, however.
What I am really trying to do here is to generate HTML at runtime. This is easy to do with servlets and or jsp, it looks like it is very difficult or impossible with ADF Faces. Using Java EE technologies, I simply include or exclude the HTML markup as an output of my servlet or jsp. I can use JSTL and a backing bean to do most of this. Unfortunately, in ADF faces, it seems that all controls are defined at design time in XML. Editing the XML files at runtime does not seem to be a logical approach. I have tried adding some controls in the backing bean at runtime, and got them to render. However, I also got an el error at runtime, indicating that the framework cannot find the accessor methods, which of course makes sense, as they don't exist in the backing bean. I don't really see any way to effectively modify the backing bean to accommodate this use case.
Interestingly, a coworker is using .Net to do a similar project. In this project we want to print labels using convention instead of configuration. In the convention, we have a data object that contains named fields. We try to match up the field name in a label template with the field name in the data structure, using reflection. Any fields that cannot be matched up end up as input text boxes with associated prompts. Since we cannot know how many fields will match up at design time, we dynamically build a web page containing one or more text inputs for the user to enter data that cannot be pulled from our data structure. We return this page to the user for data input. In short, using .Net we can create a single tool that can be used to print any current or future label our users may want to create. Apparently, .Net can do this quite easily.
This is a somewhat common approach, that I have used in a number of businesses. Did Oracle really miss this use case with ADF Faces, or is there some way to approach these types of problems?
Thanks,
Steve

Design-time *code*... is it possible?

We all know of design-time CSS files. But is there such a
thing as
design-time code?
Reason I'm asking is that on one site, files are assembled
via includes.
Header, title, content, and footer. 4 files being included
into one. Except
Header and Footer are really two sides of the same coin :
various divs and
tables are opened in Header and then closed in Footer (title
and content are
self-sufficient).
Would it be possible for me to have "design-time" code that
closes the tags
opened in Header so I can work on the file *without*
re-assembling it with
Footer? (and vice versa) because right now... if I need to
edit Header or
Footer, I first need to copy both into one file, work on it
there, then
re-save them separately for inclusion as "header" and
"footer".

The other option would have been to create a php file that
takes a template
and inserts the content into it via the url, such as
.com/parser.php?file=content.html
But a programmer friend of mine told me that was the wrong
way to do it,
that it would slow things down. Although I'm not sure how 3-4
includes is
any less slow than the quoted method.

Updating tag attributes in design time

I have a design time renderer for my custom component... As the component renders itself in design time, I set some of the component properties from within the renderer... The property sheet correctly shows those values... However, the associated JSP tag in the source view does not show those attributes... The JSP tag attributes dictate the runtime behavior and since they are not set properly, my component misbehaves.
How do I make sure that the tag attributes sync up with the property sheet values?
Also, what is the motivation behind the property sheet displaying the component values and not the JSP tag values? Having it the way it is right now opens itself up to a bunch of out-of-sync problems like the one I encountered.
Thanks,

Ok - here are a couple of scenarios:
1. I have a component, say chart component associated with a connection component like this:
<my:connection id="connection1" />
<my:chart connectionId="connection1" />The user first drags and drops the connection component. The ID connection1 is automatically associated to it. Next he drops the chart component. Now, I would like to automatically populate the connectionId attribute without the user having to type it in manually. I am able to do that (in design time) in the renderer of the chart component - I programmatically look for a connection component on the page and set the connectionId attribute of the control. And when I do that it correctly shows the connectionId attribute populated in the property sheet but the corresponding tag attribute is not.
Sure enough, at runtime, it is the tag attribute values that count and since those are not updated by the IDE, it does not work as expected.
2. Creator updates the style attribute when I move or resize the component. Now, I also have position attributes left and top defined on my component and I use these attributes at runtime to position my component. So, in design time I extract the left and top values from the style attribute and set them on the component. But again, the tag attributes are not populated and so the component is not positioned properly.
#1 is to convenience the user so that he doesn't have to manually enter values for attributes which can be automatically populated at design time.
In fact for #1, I would ideally like to show the user a drop down list of all the connections available to him in the property sheet and select the first one by default. Is this possible?
#2 is for backward compatibility reasons - We already have runtime renderers in place which use left and top attributes explicitly to render the components at runtime. And this is not restricted to left and top only but other client attributes as well - such as borders, backgrounds etc. which we expose as separate attributes.

Apply Design-Time to entired site

I'm using PHP templates and dreamweaver wont show my preview
correctly. Right now I have to select each page (one by one) and
pick design time. I have my sites defined in DW so you would think
I could just set a designtime stylesheet to the whole site or
highlight multiple files and apply them.
However that doestn work. I have to do each page one by one
with design-time. Is there a solution to this?

Here's a link to an extension that will allow you to do that:
http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?CID=61265
Note that this extension is not free, but it's well worth the
cost of $5.
