IDs of ADF components are inconsistent

Hi,
I am from Network Integrity team. We are developing LISA automated test scripts. LISA will build a DOM tree using response, then it will identify each components based on it's ID.
But we are facing one issue. IDs of many ADF components are changing after each installation of our product. So, LISA scripts generated for one installation won't work for another installation.
Some examples :
-> IDs of fields in search Components (Equals/Not equals operators)
-> In Advanced Query mode, IDs of "Add fields" options are changing
-> In some places IDs of Links and Buttons are changing.
Is there any way to ensure consistency in IDs of each component?
regards,
Prakash Yaji

Could it be of any help?

ADF Faces components are not rendered in Jdeveloper visual editor

Hi!
I'm using Jdeveloper 1013 Developer Preview. I found that the components of ADF Faces EA16 are not shown on the visual editor in Jdeveloper, but the ADF Faces EA15 components are shown. I'm just wondering if this is normal, and there is anything that can be done to fix this?
Meen

I know there's a recent release with a visual editor problem, but I'm not sure which one it is. This thread says you need a fresh install? Can you try that?

Limitation on number of adf components on a jsp page?

I am currently working on a page which comprises a number of af:table components with underlying af:column components for each table. The page also contains other adf components. My question is as stated above, is there a limitation on the number of adf components that are allowed on a page and if so what this is?
I have found that page errors I have been having can be resolved by reducing the number of components. For example, by removing af:objectspacer components I am able to include af:column components which previously caused the page to fail.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Which version are you on?
We faced similar problem in 10g. After jspx exceeds a certain size the project doesn't compile.
This is due to java class file code_length restriction, it cannot be greater than 64K.
Check this thread for detailed explanation and workaround {thread:id=361086}
We had worked around the issue by breaking the big page into serveral pages and referring to them in the main page using:
<f:subview id="SampleSubView">
<jsp:include page="/app/SamplePage.jspx"/>
</f:subview>

JSF design view - visual components are shrinking

Hello,
I have some strange issue while using Design view for JSF and data binding.
Once I drop any data control elements into visual component (panel, etc) my visual components are shrinking to such size, that I cannot distinguish any elements within design view. I cannot use design view since then and have to place all elements base on structure panel.
How to reproduce:
1. Create new JSF page with wizard and accept defaults.
2. Drop one of the panels (panel box, panel group layout) into JSF layout
At this stage my visual elements occupy 100% of design view screen and represent anticipated outcome
3. Drag and drop one of the data control elements (data control panel) into created panels on JSF and create table or form
Immediately after it visual panel where data control was dropped shrinks to approximately 1/4 of the screen and I cannot see neither available space nor created table for my data components.
I figured out, that if I remove created by wizard default <af:messages> tag from the top of my JSF, then design view representation fixes. Not sure if I should remove <af:messages> from all my pages.
Above all looks to me as and bug.
Environment:
-Jdeveloper 11g
-Windows Vista 64b
-Not bundled JDK 6

Hi Shay,
Thank you for response.
1. I tried to play with screen size without result
2. I checked your video post, but this does not resolve my issue
3. This issue occures with all JSF pages and can be reproduced even when following official Oracle step by step tutorials.
4. I figured out, that removing <af:messages> tag resolves the issue ?! It seems this tag is added by default during drag and drop binding.
5. On this link http://drop.io/jdev_001 you can see how design view is changes with and without <af:messages> tag
6. Below is code example from one of the tutorials, that leads to shrinking as well:
7. Once app is deployed and running page get normal view in IE as expected, so it seems to me, it is issue with Jdev design view, probably influenced by my environment, if nobody reported it before.
Thank you for your help.

Custom attributes on adf components?

I asked this question before:
howto modify components in tree?
and got no answer. So I'm trying a different approach. I'm using aop to intercept methods as such:
<include within="oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.renderkit.rich..*"/>
@Pointcut("execution(void encode*(..))")
This is the only way I've been able to get at adf components after the are all created, but before they are rendered. I verify the authorization level of the component based in the id of the component and the current user's roles.
in my jsf:
<af:image id="highly_secretive_data_chart" source="#{DataChart.src}" inlineStyle="padding-right: 2px"/>
in my aspect:
String id = component.getId();
AuthorityLevel level = getAuthorityLevel(id, getUser().getId());
if (AuthorityLevel.NONE.equals(level)) {
component.setRendered(false);
} else if (AuthorityLevel.ACTION.equals(level)) {
//do nothing
String className = component.getClass().getName();
types.add(className);
try {
Method m = component.getClass().getMethod("setDisabled", new Class[] {Boolean.TYPE});
if (AuthorityLevel.VIEW.equals(level)) {
m.invoke(component, true);
} catch (Exception e) {
//do nothing
btw - is there a way to format code in this forum?
This works fine and allows me to do what I want until I get to a case like this (where the component is created in a loop):
<f:facet name="treeNav">
<af:tree id="navtree"
binding="#{EventMaster.eventTree.treeControl}"
value="#{EventMaster.eventTree.listModel}"
var="node">
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:group>
<af:commandLink partialSubmit="true" id="#{node.id}" dyn_id="#{node.id}">
I put both failed attempts above (id and dyn_id), but obviously I tried them separately.
As documented here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/adffaces/11/doc/adf-richclient-api/tagdoc/af_commandLink.html
I cannot put el inside of the id attribute.
So, I thought I'd be cute and make my own attribute (dyn_id), but I that results in this exception:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: ... Attribute dyn_id invalid for tag commandLink according to TLD
Does anyone know how to turn off this validation? Or have any other solutions? After typing this up, I realize this might be a tomcat thing. Perhaps there's hope then.
Thanks much,
Ben Anderson

Looks like I can use customizationId. The documentation states "This attribute is deprecated. The 'id' attribute should be used when applying persistent customizations. This attribute will be removed in the next release." I'm gonna call their bluff. But I'd still be up for an alternative if anyone's got one.

ADF components not Rendering on ie9 Browser

This is a strange behavior , ADF components like ( table , DVT graph ) are not rendering on the ie9 browser ( keep fetching ...) . However , works fine with ie8,Google chrome, firefox .
Believe some setting is required in my client brower ie9.
Any idea why not on ie9 ?
We are on ADF jdev 11.1.1.3.0
Browser flash plug version : 11.5.502.135
OS : Windows 7 . 32 bit
Browser : IE 9

I faced a similar problem. I added the following line in the jsp page
<f:view>
<meta content="IE=8" http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible"></meta>
<af:document id="d1" title="something">This will make the IE9 work as IE8. And will also not disturb any behavior of other browsers.
Thanks and Regards,

WebGalileo tree integration with adf components

Hi all:
I have a project using adf faces, and in one page i am trying to use WebGalileo tree component
The thing is that i have this page, in the left side is the webgalileo tree, and in the right side are the adf components (inputText, outputText, file upload, adt data table)
When i click in one of the nodes of the tree, i load data from a database to the adf components; the i can work with that data, edit the values and so on; if i click in another node of the tree i need to recolect that data from the adf components in the backing bean and process them in some way.
The thing is when i click in another node, i dont have any data in the components in the backing bean; the values i entered doesn't seem to apply to the components in runtime, i guess because there is no form submit when i click on a node, only ajax event listener provided by the webgalileo components
Is there any way to integrate those two things ?? i mean make them work together well, so i can "see" the values entered in the adf controls when i click another node ??
Thanks a lot

ADF Components vs Trinidad Components licence

Hi,
Can I use ADF Components instead of Trinidad Components to deploy an application in Tomcat without to pay a licence?
Thanks.

Hi,
- Why is a preview release ? when we can get a production release ?
Its not only ADF Faces but the full Fusion stack that makes the release train. The ADF Faces RC components may be in a better shape than some other components, but this doesn't make them earlier to ship. There is no date for the production release and until then we release technlogy previews. Hoe that production isn't too long away anyway
- Oracle would give us technical support ?
No. You can work with your local Oracle organization to see if - depending on the project - they will step in and help you with advice and hints, but there is no official support for the technology preview
- How much the product and support cost ?
If you use Oracle Application Server then the product licence is covered. Support is a separate contract and I suggest you get in touch with your local Oracle sales force to get the pricing for your case
- There is a Oracle commercial plan for the future.
There is no statement of directions available yet.
- And how about Apache RFC Proposal ? when they will start ...
As soon as possible. Its accepted and incubation can start when the sources are ready. Still, we have to go by the rules of the Apache community. I don't expect the open source community to have a first release before next year (with ADF Faces it took us almost 1 1/2 to get out of incubation)

Add new translated language resources for ADF components

Hello
I wish to add a new language for the ADF components.
Our product was translated in serbian language but some items like Next, Previous buttons or the OK and Cancel buttons in the popup dialogs of type OkCancel uses build-in resources of the ADF and does not provide the translation for all languages.
How is it possible to extend the resources of the ADF with any other language?
I see the old thread Re: ADF component language for the Georgian language.
And I guess there are more languages required by some customers.
Is there any solution available by the ADF how we can just provide the missed translations and configure ADF to load them?
Kind Regards
Paul Daratha

Hi,
you can bind the text of the components with your bundle.
see the doc:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/web.1111/b31973/af_global.htm#CHDGCAFI
and here are a resource strings for components
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24382_01/apirefs.1112/e17497/toc.htm
As far as I know yo can´t add a language.

Binding ADF Components in Task Form

Hi!
I am using: Oracle Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.5.0, Oracle JDeveloper 11g.
I posted this thread in the SOA section because of the type of project I am working in (SOA Application). But until now my question remained unanswered so I now I post in this section because I am using also ADF components.
I am trying to customize a BPEL Task Form.
After I made a project using Fusion Web Application, I could confirm that the managed beans for some ADF Faces components were working and the form (an .jspx page that I would run on Integrated Web Logic Server) was functional.
I made a project using SOA Application.
I made a BPEL Process with a Human Tak and using the Launch Task Form Wizard I made a form.
Then I started adding ADF Faces components that are using managed beans, just like in the other project.
When I deploy the project, all the components using the beans just dont show up. If I dont use the components with the managed beans the form appears normally.
Is there some additional requirement to make the bindings with the managed beans in the Task Form?
To clarify the question below I have some printscreens:
1. SelectOneChoice "Rubrica" component with value binding from the ActionListenerOK java class;
http://i43.tinypic.com/x4j0ol.jpg
2. Showing the Expression Builder for the above value binding;
http://i42.tinypic.com/14mdxqq.jpg
3. Method Expression Builder for a Button Component;
http://i41.tinypic.com/2r38tw2.jpg
4. The managed beans list for the form page;
http://i41.tinypic.com/rbjqt2.jpg
5. How the form appears when using the components with java bean bindings;
http://i39.tinypic.com/34pghh0.jpg
6. How the form appears when delete the components with tha java bindings;
http://i41.tinypic.com/2mwwkuo.jpg

Answering your questions:
Where: I created the class in the oracle package, than I tried using oracle.adf and oracle.bpel.services.workflow.worklist.adf, where I have seen that the form had automatically created some of the beans for some actions. I defined the bean inside the task flow.xml that was automatically created when I created the form.
http://i39.tinypic.com/16gx6ic.jpg
What scope: request. The bean is a class that changes the tabs upon an user selection from a SelectOneChoice component. But I also created bean for populating a table and I will need to create several other beans for different methods. The tabs are all hidden and only can be displayed upon selection and clicking the ok button.
As the bean is functional when used in a Fusion Web Application (ADF), I believe that the code is correct:

Showing the bindings for the respective components:

Bug or by Design? Commented-out ADF components still appear on .JSP page

I normally use all .jspx pages, but for a couple of pages I'm using a .jsp page because I need to include <f:verbatim> HTML code.
I'm noticing an odd occurrence where ADF component statements contained within comments still appear on the .jsp page (this does not occur with .jspx pages, and, regular comments w/o ADF components do not appear.) For example the following still shows up on the rendered page?:

This statement is not contained with the verbatim tag which appears later. I've also re-saved, re-compiled, etc. to make sure I wasn't using an older version of the page.
Is this a bug or something I'm not aware of related to  within a .jsp page?

The different comments jsp are:

<%-- This is a jsp comment --%>
The difference is the HTML comment is send to the browser, but the browser should not render comments to the user.
The jsp comments are not send to the browser, since they are stripped off by the compiler.
This reminds me of one project, where we used the write HTML comments on the jsp-pages like
. Luckily, the QAs corrected us before going live. ;o))

Enterprise Manager is not able to connect to the database instance. The state of the components are listed below.

Dear all,
I have trouble to connect em console to database instance. My database is 11.2.0.3 and before this I did the patching from version 11.2.0.1, and now i cannot get fully functionality of em console.
error is:
Enterprise Manager is not able to connect to the database instance. The state of the components are listed below.
It shows that agent is connected, database and listener is up.
I did recreation, dropping and recreating with emca, but no success.
Did anyone have similar problems with em console?
Regards,

You need to first of all, Connect to the Database as SYSDBA (because your were not connected), then start the database (because it is not started).
If you already used the username and password in the command prompt and you are sure that the database is already stared, then you need to set the ORACLE_SID before you open SQLPlus. This is because if SQLPlus does not know the SID you are connecting to, it simply thinks it is not up or has no service hence the message "Connected to an idle instance".

Coreapplication shows as down in OEM, but all components are up

Hi,.
Just upgraded from 11.1.1.5 to 11.1.1.6.2. All went fine and everything running. Also upgraded WLS from 10.3.5 to 10.3.6
Yet the core application shows as down in OEM although system status reads All components are available
weird .....
diagnostic logs show failed to get status for java components so looks like the console isnt communicating with opmn correctly? Not sure. Everything is running out of the same box except the database.
admin server log presents:
Failed to get status of all of OPMN components for one or more Oracle Instances of BI instance: coreapplication
Any bright ideas please ping them this way!
THanks
