Integrate an ADF rich client component in form

Hi all. I'm on devsuite10g. I have got a question: how I can integrate/insert an ADF rich client component in my form without using Jdeveloper??
Is there a way to do it??
Thanks all for the collaboration,
Fabrizio

Hi,
you can use any other Java IDE for this and just work with the properly configured tag libary and the required settings in web.xml. However, since Developer Suite 10g is 10.1.2, you can't use the components unless your form runs on a platform that supports JavaEE 1.5

Building a adf rich client component dynamically...

Is it possible to specify the af:selectItem(s) in a af:selctOneChoice using af|forEach where the "items" attribute" calls a client side List or Array?
Where can I find for documentation regarding EL expressions and how to call a client side varible in an af:RichComponent attribute value, e.g. lable="X" or value="X" where X is a client side varible. And can such a construct be used in a partialSubmit (innerHTML) update.
Thanks, Larry

Hi Frank,
I'm building a user interface for a mapping application. What I was hoping to do was to be able to build dynamically, panel boxes for the map types and map layers, Street map with Interstates, Streets, State Highways, etc; or Aerial Images with Parcel Lines, and Building Footprint, Major Streets, etc; These combination grow exponentially and become what we call FOIs (Features of Interest); i.e. if you have 6 map type, Street Lines, Aerial Images, Soils, Environmental, Cultural etc, and you have 6 Layers (or feature that can be displayed, that gives to 36 combination for FOI layouts.
I would like be able to build the select choice (CheckBox choice, List Choice etc.) dynamically based on the Map type, some features could available to several map type, but choice may appear in different orders.
What I was hoping to do was get a Hashmap object (or what we might call a feature/theme tree, (some would be standard, some would be user built and persisted) from the database at the page.onload, then exract objects to lists as local variables within the client (browser) environment. Therefore be able to build the Panel Box with the appropriate "choice List" as the user made choices. I know that we can do this with bindings and making round trips to the server as needed, but since I was in a client environment, I was hope to save time.
I had first tried doing with the JavaScript API, I was able to get the AdfRichSelectOneChoice object (and I also tried with the AFDRichSelectManyCheckBox object) then using the interface method getSelectItems() I actually had the list and was able to add to it and manipulate the list but since it was a copy of the list I was not able to set the select items in the AdfUIObject with something like a "setSelectItems(someListOfValues)" method. So then I tried the af:forEach route, hoping that I could do a partial submit of say a af:PanelBox. But no as you pointed out I'm not having any luck. I guess I'll have to do it the "old fashioned" way with round trips.
I must also apologize of being a “propeller head” - as an old time programmer I'm much more comfortable building application interface and user interface by writing code. I realize that most "frameworks" want programmers to stop programming and to start building thing with "drag and drop" and by using "wizards"... but some of us just aren't built that way. I'll try to do better. But in the meantime do you have any advice?
Thanks Larry

Adf Rich Client - Free or License?

Hello!!
In previous post, you say the Adf Rich Client will be free when a production version is available, all right?
Then, you have a idea of a date to Adf Rich Client goes into production version?
What the license for Adf Rich Client now? I can developer my comercial applications with the Adf Rich Client?
Thanks and congratulations for your good job with the Adf Rich Client!!!

Frank,
First of all thank you for your support on this forum.
I have a hypothetical question though... In our development process we are entering a phase when we need to start working on application... We took a look into Jdev11 and ADF RC, and really liked it - it has many components that our users are already used to in Oracle Forms, like dropdown menus, toolbars and most important the ability to have spread tables. We are wondering, if we start development with Jdev 11 next month and are planning to have the application production ready by the end of Q12008, what are our chances of having Jdev 11 to be production ready, and how significant the changes will be between the current version and prod release?
I understand, you cannot answer these question, but could give me a hint, or a 'wink' as to what to expect. I would really appreciate it. We could start going with Jdev 10.1.3.3, but we really like new componnts in Jdev 11.
Thank you,
VO

Facelets support in ADF Rich Client

I have tried to use ADF Rich Client with Facelets
but it looks like the tag library schema is not recongined, and the ADF RC tag schema definition in html root tag and all ADF RC tags are copied into output.
any comments or info from any one?

hi,
to add my 2 cents
by the way do you know when will be a code drop of ADF RC available in Apache ?
I assume this to happen some time after ADF Faces RC goes production
1) legacy(!?) pages in one of projects we have hundreds of pages developed in facelets and it is a little hard to convert them all.
We don't support JSF 1.1 content (and Trinidad content) to be on the same page as ADF Faces RC. So if you like to continue using your current stack then the option to go with in Trinidad in JDeveloper 11, not ADF Faces RC
3) Templating
ADF Rich Faces Templating mechanism is an strong one, but a little different with Facelets, for example in Facelets templates can be used inside each other but in ADF RC as far I I know they can not.
The runtime does support template nesting, the designtime does. However, as Shay mentioned using daclarative components might be a nice addition to reuse.
4) composition component
in facelets it is easy make a new composite component by mixing existing components
for example add an export to PDF and Excel button to a table.
looks like the current ADF Templating mechanism can be used to solve this issue.
Declarative components do.

[solved] problems w/rich client component demo

Hello -
I've been trying to run the rich client component demo as described in http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/adffaces/11/doc/demo/adf_faces_rc_demo.html
in TP2 of JDeveloper 11. I've run into a few problems. (I am assuming that the article will work as written in TP2 since the date on the article is September 2007.)
(minor) The link to the demo under the "Running the Demo from Oracle JDeveloper" section is broken. The link in the section for "Installing the ADF Faces Component Demo on a Standalone OC4J" works.

Nevermind. I thought I had TP2 but I think it was really TP1. Creating (and running) the project from the WAR file works for me now.

Some help needed for installation of rich client component runtime demo

i have dwnld the demo and also read the Instructions
And while installing it asks jre/java path and my jdk is intalled in this path C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_27/bin/
And i have typed the same path with java.exe at the last but it its says Insert a valid path.
How can i give the correct path.
And the another question is that, i have jDeveloper 11g 11.1.1.5.0 installed with Weblogic Server, does the installation package also contains WLS or only the war file?

Hi Shay,
the file i downloaded was over 900MB. So i want to know that it contained WLS also or the war file was so big as i have WLS installed. And the compressed archive had two folders named Disk 1 and Disk 2 and the Disk 1 had an exe file and when i run the file a command prompt like windows opens. At this point the path is asked.
So to directly download the war file i searched google and i got a link to this page
http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/docs/release.html#Download
where these file were found
SHERMAN rcf-dvt-demo.war
SHERMAN adf-faces-demo.ear
But i couldn't download these files. or may be they were not available.
The 900MB file i downloaded is from this link:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/documentation/adf-faces-rc-demo-083799.html
"Installing the ADF Faces Component Demo
Download the ADF Faces rich client component runtime demo web archive (WAR) file and store it on the local file system (e.g. c:\rcf-dvt-demo.war). Once Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3 is installed and started, open the WebLogic administration console in a browser window. To access the WLS console, type "http://localhost:7001/console" into the browser address field, assuming that Oracle WebLogic is installed on the local machine with the default port configured at 7001."
And it forwarded to this page:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/downloads/index.html
As i had jDeveloper 11g 11.1.1.5.0, i downloaded the right version.
So can you provide the war/ear file directly?

ADF rich client: How to automate testing

Hi Experts,
We need to do some automate testing against application that is developed with ADF Faces 11g, I've tried with loadrunner 8.1, which provides 2 approaches to record web applications, web(html / http) and web(click / script).
According to my experiment and this article , it's not feasible to record actions to rich client app with the first protocol.
As for the second one, according to my test, some of actions works and the others not (for example, input field, expand accordion).
My question is, Is there a solution to fully automate adf 11g UI interactions? Solutions based on loadrunner is preferred.
Thanks for any help,
Todd

Thanks CM.,
Sorry I didn't make my question clear. Selenium does fit in AJAX well, but seems that it lacks of ability to do stress test, what if we need highly concurrent workload(say, 5000 users)? Can selenium RC or some tools else generate that?
And, are you sure that loadrunner 8.1 is not feasible to do stress test against ADF rich client apps? I need a good reason to persuade my bosses to consider adopting new tools.
Regards,
Todd

Difference Between Oracle ADF and ADF Rich Client

Hello Gurus,
I want to know the difference between those two:
Oracle ADF:
http://goo.gl/6Q1i2
and
ADF Rich Client:
http://goo.gl/L31ra
I downloaded Jdeveloper 11g (11.1.2.3.0)
I did this tutorial which It adf right? http://goo.gl/8Mf7c
and this other is rich client right? http://goo.gl/7Krew
Can I please know the advantages of them over the other one? THANKS !!!

ADF Faces Rich Client Components are a part of Oracle ADF.
So Oracle ADF uses ADF Faces as the components for the rich web UI, but it also offers things like simplified database access through ADF Business Components, an advanced ADF Controller layer, and simple data binding.
I would suggest starting with this seminar:
http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/Introduction_To_ADF/Introduction_To_ADF.html

TP4 / ADF Rich client demo just downloaded from otn / 41 compiling errors !

I just downloaded ADF Riche client demo and installed it jdev tp4.
Rebuild causes 41 compilation errors and the application is not runnable.
Is it a way to solve this ?
Some of the errors:

Error(57): "maxColumns" is not a valid attribute name.

Forget about it ... downloading again and reinstalling it without any errors ... may be i downloaded from an older link or do some bad copy ... sorry disturbing you !

Tomcat 6 - Deployment of the ADF Rich Client Demo Fails

I have been able to deploy and run the ADF Rich Client Demo in the embedded Oracle Weblogic server and a standalone Weblogic server.
However, when I deploy the application to an instance of Tomcat 6 (6.0.18) I get the following:

I have tried the deployment from within JDeveloper 11g and also by dropping the WAR file into the Tomcat container webapps directory.
Any one know why this is happening?
Thanks,
Vince

Jonn,
Thanks for the pointer.
I located the missing libraries by finding those that looked like the ones you recommended. The locations can be found by looking them up in the JDeveloper project Libraries and Classpath (click on an entry and select the view button):
jsf-ri-12.war
jsf-ri.jar
jsf-api.jar
glassfish.jstl_1.2.0.1.jar
I copied these to the tomcat-6.0.18\lib level rather than putting them in the project lib.
Works great.
Thanks again for the help.
Vince

ADF Rich Client Faces af:table editingMode="clickToEdit" event handling

I have a table with editingMode="clickToEdit" that contains columns with inputText with values that map to Eclipselink JPA Entity bean properties.
I am struggling to find an event that I can monitor that would allow me to persist or cancel the changes the user enters. I might add "Commit" and "Cancel" commands in their own columns but then I would like to have an event that allow me to enable and disable those commandButtons. In any event I would like to capture the fact that a row has entered editing mode with either a clientListener or a servletListener.
Is any of this possible?
Frank's suggestion in Re: Edit Specific Row on click of button in ADF table implies that the table be re-rendered and I would specifically like to avoid that as it is disturbing to the user to have the entire table redrawn, particularly when the size of the table exceeds the displayed rows.
Thanks, Mark.

I suppose I didn't ask my question properly. I have been persisting POJO and JPA beans with ADF Faces, Trinidad and ADF Faces Rich Client since 2004 and I have a hundred thousand lines of library code to manage that.
The tricky thing about <af:tables (and <tr:tables for that matter) is that it is challenging to render individual rows or cells and re-rendering the entire table is disruptive to the user experience. My normal practice is to allow the user to select a row and then click an edit button that re-renders an edit panel (or detail stamp) which contains a submit button. However, for small simple tables this is overkill and in-line editing would be very attractive. The WONDERFUL thing about <af:table editingMode="clickToEdit" is that the user can enter an EDIT mode without redrawing the table.
My problem is that I have not yet discovered an event that I can monitor to let me know that the user has done this. What I think that I want is something like the clientListener selection event that would fire when the editingMode state changed: a clientListener editingMode event.
If I use the clientListener selection event, is there any way I can determine editingMode state of the row?
Here is what I have tried
      <af:table id="paymentTable" binding="#{PaymentLogTable.table}"
                rows="5" value="#{PaymentLogTable.model}" rowSelection="single" columnSelection="single"
                var="payRow" displayRow="selected" editingMode="clickToEdit"
                selectionListener="#{PaymentLogTable.selectionListener}">
        <af:clientAttribute name="keyColumn" value="payRow_amount"/>
        <af:clientListener method="MIZAR.adf.selectionHandler" type="selection"/>
        <af:clientListener method="MIZAR.adf.editingModeHandler" type="dblClick"/>
        <af:column clientComponent="true" width="50" align="center" headerText="ID" sortable="false">
          <af:outputText value="#{payRow.id}" />
        </af:column>
        <af:column width="75" align="right" headerText="Amount" sortable="false" clientComponent="true">
          <af:inputText id="payRow_amount" value="#{payRow.amount}" valueChangeListener="#{payRow.setRowDirty}" clientComponent="true">
            <af:convertNumber minFractionDigits="2" maxFractionDigits="2"/>
          </af:inputText>
        </af:column>
... more columns
MIZAR.adf.selectionHandler = function (event){
MIZAR.adf.editingModeHandler(event);
MIZAR.adf.editingModeHandler = function (event) {
var table = event.getSource();
var keys = table.getPropertyKeys();
var selectedRowKeys = table.getSelectedRowKeys();
var keyColumn = table.getProperty('keyColumn');
var aKeySet = event.getAddedSet();
for(aRowKey in aKeySet){
      var newRowKey = aRowKey;
var newRowComp = table.findComponent(keyColumn,newRowKey);
if ( newRowComp ){
    var readOnly = newRowComp.getReadOnly();
    if ( !readOnly ){
      alert ('Editable'); // NEVER GETS HERE
if (table.getProperty('isCanceled')) {
    alert ('canceled');
}But, the MIZAR.adf.editingModeHandler doesn't get called when I double click the row and neither does the MIZAR.adf.selectionHandler. The inputText component always shows up as readOnly = true.
Thanks, Mark

Can I disable the ADF Rich client javascript?

I would like to work around the ADF framework and use my own javascript. Is there a way to turn off the rich client libs so they are not downloaded to the client? I want to use jQuery and my own javascript.
Thanks for any tips, tricks, links, or examples.

ADF is an MVC framework - ADF Faces is the View layer.
You can use the rest of the MV layers with a different front end.
So you can use ADF Business services and access them for example from a simple JSF that doesn't use the Oracle JSF components.
That being said, I think you are going about it the wrong way.
The real question is what specifically does JQuery gives you that ADF Faces doesn't?
What specifically are you trying to achieve and can't achieve with ADF Faces?

ADF Rich client demo link down?

Is the ADF faces rich client demo link down?

Yes looks like it. The link is often down. You can load the war from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/downloads/index.html and run it in your jdev.

ADF Rich Client on Weblogic 10.0

I know this might sound like a crazy combo, but I am stuck as the lead in trying to get this to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated from those awesome Oracle engineering gurus. I have tried to get adf-faces-demo.war to work on WebLogic 10.0 and I am not sure why but it won't let me view the page.
I have changed out the following parameters in the following configuration files when I deploy to WebLogic 10: (with not much luck nor is there any exceptions being thrown which are redirected into the log files in the domain I am deploying the adf-faces-demo.war web application):
Config File 1: adf-faces-config.xml
Changed the following below from true to false as shown below:
<debug-output>false</debug-output>

Config File 2: web.xml
Changed the following below from true to false as shown below:
<context-param>
<param-name>oracle.adf.view.faces.CHECK_FILE_MODIFICATION</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</context-param>
Any help from the Oracle Java Enterprise Guru engineers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Mr. Shmeltzer,
WebLogic 10.0 has no errors being thrown anywhere (I have looked in all the log files in the domain where the adf-faces-demo.war application is deployed), nor does the WebLogic server even mention the application (adf-faces-demo.war) being loaded when I start the domain using the cmd line script automatically created by BEA weblogic when you create a new domain. I was able to deploy Oracle's Struts Web Application called struts-example.war in WebLogic 10.0 which was the war file included in the JDeveloper product. In the struts web application: struts-example.war, Weblogic 10.0 picks up this application and the WebLogic Console makes this fact apparent in the command line window running the WebLogic Server.
Using Firefox 2.0, it says the following:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for the address in a way that will never complete.
The problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.
<Try Again Button Appears>
Take note that the try again button does not resolve the issue.
I am not so sure that this is not a cookies issue with the browser as stated above. I can try it using I.E 7 if necessary.
I believe it may NOT be the issue that the ".jspx extension is not supported on WebLogic 10.0", in which this situation occurs with IBM Websphre (documented in the documentation), as I have renamed the index.jspx to index.jsp (and a few other jsp pages but at minimal the index jsp page should load up) but I get the same error page displayed in Firefox (with the application being deployed in WebLogic).
My assumptions were the following when I decided to run adf-faces-demo.war on WebLogic 10.0:
1. If the adf-faces-demo.war file runs on Tomcat so easily, it should run on WebLogic 10 with no hassles.
2. It seems that the ADF runtime is supported on WebLogic 9.X, and it should run on 10.0, as the adf-faces-demo.war is just a standard web application with all the required jars packaged in the web/WEB-INF/lib directory. I was under the impression that no jars are missing either since it deployed under Tomcat so easily.
Thank you for your help. :O)

Change current row selected Color in ADF rich client table

Hi All ..
i want to change the current row selected from the default ADF color to Another color.
i am not very good in javaScript .
any one can help me
Edited by: user9519817 on Aug 30, 2008 3:57 AM

User,
You don't need Javascript to do this. Have a read of section 18 of the Oracle Web user Interface Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework (found [url http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11/doc/b31973.pdf]here for information about creating a custom skin. Unfortunately, the documentation for the selectors to use, which should be in a JDev help topic titled, ""Selectors for Skinning Fusion's ADF Faces Components" doesn't exist yet :( However, you can check [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/adffaces/11/doc/skin-selectors.html#]here for that information.
Selectors that may be of interest:
