Invoke catalog method in .jsp

Greetings.
I have a method named getLocationValues defined in my catalog. The method takes two arguments, defined as strings, and returns an array. In my .jsp, I am attempting to use the "invoke" tags to access the method, using the return values to populate a select list. When I call the .jsp page, I get the following error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not find method 'getLocationValues' in 'xobject.WR20060112_Form15026.Request' with arguments java.lang.String, java.lang.String'.
Here is the invoke call in the jsp. The catalog is "request":
<f:invoke var="${request}" methodName="getLocationValues" retAttName="myLocationResults" retAttScope="Page" >
<f:arg value="STC" type="String"/>
<f:arg value="BUILDING" type="String"/>
I can make a call to the method inside an automatic called from the same screenflow and display the results, so I know the method is accessible. For some reason, it's just not finding it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
What you are trying is basically an Applet to Servlet communication. This is definitely possible. To perform a GET to a Servlet create a URL object with the request parameters included. Create a URLConnection by opening a connection to the URL object. Then access the ServletInputStream to get the reply from the Servlet.
To perform POST the process is similar but remember to set the DoInput and DoOutput properties of the URLConnection object to true.
Obtain the ServletInputStream and ServletOutputStream to recieve and send Data.
Keep me posted on your progress!
Good Luck!

Invoking a method in WSDL file from client class

Hi,
I have got a WSDL file and I have to invoke certian methods from a client class from the WSDL file. What exactly should I do to invoke them from a Java standalone program /servlet/JSP.

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

Invoking presentation method from a screenflow

i am using ALBPM object presentation which shows some images one by one on pressing 'Next' button.but when all the images are shown(stored in a predefined directory), i want to set the visibility of the image component false and show a warning in a textbox, which was set invisible while initialising the presentation, by setting its visibilty true by using the setVisible method.
So, in my screenflow, i have called the presentation by interactive component call using an instance variable of the type of the presentation object in catalog.Now, when i am calling the setVisible method in an automatic activity in my screenflow, it is giving "java.lang.RuntimeException: Cant invoke presentation methods, if it is running on server side". But setVisible is a client side method itself.
Then, i have tried by writing a client side method inside the presentation object which calls the setVisible method and then i called it from the automatic activity in the screenflow, but it is still giving the same error.
Plz help.
Thanks in advance.
Edited by pottercap at 02/28/2007 11:01 PM

if the "show all" flag is known wen you invoke the presentation, you can set the visible flag in the initialization method of the presentation.
hope it helps.

How to invoke action method from mail contained link

Hello,
my application needs to send mails to users that include links for the user to click on. Something like www.mysite.com/displayData.jsp&id=123. My question is now how I make JSF invoke the respective method in the backed bean to display the data with the id 123 when the user clicks on the link int the mail.
I wonder whether there is some kind of "catch-all action" that checks whether the user is logged in and authorized whenever any JSP page is invoked. I'm a bit tired of first checking the authorization of some user before processing the remaining part od the backed bean's action method.
Thanks for any hints,
Oliver Plohmann

my application needs to send mails to users that

Unable to use Datasource.cfc in Admin API - The current user is not authorized to invoke this method

Hi Everyone,
I am having some issues accessing the methods in the datasource.cfc in the adminAPI.
I can successfully load the administrator CFC and am told that I have successsfuly logged in;
But when I try to subsequently load the datasource.cfc I get an error that the current user is unable to access the method.
/* Create an Admin API object and call the login method */
                                                  var local = {};
                                                  local.adminObj = createObject("component", "cfide.adminapi.administrator");
                                                  /* Enter your password for the CF Admin */
/* if you dump this - TRUE is returned */
                                                  local.adminObj.login(adminPassword="my_admin_user_password");
                                                  /* Create an object of datasource component */
                                                  local.dsnObj = createObject("component", "cfide.adminapi.datasource");
writeDump(local.dsnObj.getDataSources());
I tried creating separate admin users and passwords - yhinking that perhaps a revent hotfix had stopped the "admin" user from being allowed to use the adminAPI - but changing to a new adminuser yielded the same results.
I could login to the admin API with the new username and passsword - but could not access the datasource.cfc after that.
Here is the debug output from the error...
The current user is not authorized to invoke this method.

http://forums.adobe.com/message/5051892
and I agree I don't have "E" drive either!

I've found a solution to my plight - I don't know if it'll work for you or help you try something that MAY fix it.
I use a common code set which includes the Application.cfc from a CF Mapping - So, in the application.cfc in the actual website I do this:-
<cfinclude template="/UberDirectory/Application.cfc">
Then, in the /UberDirectory/Application.cfc, I was initialising a CFC which checks if the datasource was created for the website. The datasource checking code attempts to log into the Admin API and check & create if necessary the datasource.
This has previously worked without fail for me - But in this instance it failed!! I was doing two things wrong - Firstly, the CFC should only be called in the Application.cfc in the onRequestStart section as the Application had to be initialised first - This is maybe because I've invoked the application.cfc in a "non-standard" manner.
Secondly, once I'd moved the CFC invocation into oNRequestStart I saw the following error:-
The string COOKIE.CFAUTHORIZATION_uber-directory is not a valid ColdFusion variable name.
I had this as the app name .... <cfset this.name = 'uber-directory'>
Changedthe dash to an underscore and I was away and could once again check the datasources
Hope it helps

How do you invoke a method with native int array argument?

Hi,
Will someone help me to show me a few codes samples on how to invoke a method which has only one argument, an int [] array.
For exampe:
public void Method1(int [] intArray) {...};
Here is some simple code fragment I used:
Class<?> aClass = Class.forName("Test2");
Class[] argTypes = new Class[] {int[].class};
Method method = aClass.getDeclaredMethod("Method_1", argTypes);
int [] intArray = new int[] {111, 222, 333};
Object [] args = new Object[1];
args[0] = Array.newInstance(int.class, intArray);
method.invoke(aClass, args);I can compile without any error, but when runs, it died in the "invoke" statement with:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: object is not an instance of declaring class
     at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
     at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source)
     at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source)

     at Test1.invoke_Method_1(Test1.java:262)
     at Test1.start(Test1.java:33)

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Sorry, my bad. I was able to invoke static methods and instance methods with all data types except native int, short, double and float, not sure the proper ways to declare them.
After many frustrating hours, I posted the message for help, but at that time, my mind was so numb that I created a faulted example because I cut and pasted the static method invocation example to test the instance method passing int array argument.
As your post suggested, "args[0] = intArray;", that works. Thanks!
You know, I did tried passing the argument like that first, but because I was not declaring the type properly, I ended up messing up the actual passing as well as the instantiation step.
I will honestly slap my hand three times.

How can I invoke a method on a subclass based on the runtime type?

Hi all,
I have defined a base class OrderDetail, and 2 subclasses which extend it: OrderDetailSingleReservation and OrderDetailMonthReservation. Furthermore, I have a method:
    public Order order_generate(OrderDetail orderDetail) {
        if (orderDetail instanceof OrderDetailSingleReservation) {
            return order_generate((OrderDetailSingleReservation) orderDetail);
        } else if (orderDetail instanceof OrderDetailMonthReservation) {
            return order_generate((OrderDetailMonthReservation) orderDetail);
        } else {
            Misc.alert("orderAndInvoice_Generate(GENERIC): unsupported type.");
            return null;
    }The type of this method's parameter is OrderDetail, as you can see. (This particular method only serves as a kind of dispatcher and is therefore not very interesting in itself, but the same pattern using 'instanceof' occurs in a codebase I am working on several times, and I would like to factor it out if possible.)
My question: it seems that the invocation of order_generate() from within this method requires an explicit downcast to one of the two subclasses. If not, java invokes the method on the superclass. But at runtime, the JVM knows what type of object it is dealing with, right? So is there no way to do this without the explicit downcast?
A similar problem occurs when trying to invoke a method on an object whose type is one of the subclasses; the method on superclass is called, instead of the one in the appropriate subclass that overrides it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Erik

Thanks for your replies! I was editing my post last night to clarify it, but my connection went down and the edit was lost :(
Anyway, yes, it should be done with polymorphism. I was constructing an example using the famous Animal, Cat and Dog classes to demonstrate my question more clearly, and to my surprise the problem does not occur in my example code.
LRMK: Invoking a method such as in your example, where the method is inside the class itself, works fine. However for MVC's sake, I have a separate class called Invoicing with methods as below:
class invoicing
// the method for the superclass
public Invoice invoice_create(OrderDetail orderDetail) {
     System.out.println("type: " + orderDetail.getClass());
     return null;
// the method for one of the subclasses (this method is being not invoked)
public Invoice invoice_create(OrderDetailSingleReservation orderDetail) {
     return null;
// ...nor is this one.
public Invoice invoice_create(OrderDetailMonthReservation od) {
     return null;
}Now I attempt to invoke these methods:
// create example objects
OrderDetailSingleReservation odSingle = new OrderDetailSingleReservation();
OrderDetailMonthReservation odMonth = new OrderDetailMonthReservation();
// this call displays "odSingle type: OrderDetailSingleReservation"
System.out.println("odSingle type: " + odSingle.getClass());
// this call displays "odMonth type: OrderDetailMonthReservation"
System.out.println("odMonth type: " + odMonth.getClass());
// this call invokes Invoicing.invoice_create(OrderDetail)
// instead of Invoicing.invoice_create(OrderDetailSingleReservation)
Invoicing.invoice_create(odSingle);
// this call invokes Invoicing.invoice_create(OrderDetail)
// instead of Invoicing.invoice_create(OrderDetailMonthReservation)
Invoicing.invoice_create(odMonth);So these calls will invoke the method for the superclass, i.e. Invoicing.invoice_create(OrderDetail od). That method then then executes the System.out.println() call which displays the class type of its parameter as one of { OrderDetailSingleReservation | OrderDetailMonthReservation }, that is, the expected subclass types!
So the dynamic dispatch isn't working the way I would expect it to. If I do the explicit if-else checking using instanceof, as described in my first post, the correct methods are called.
I hope the problem is somewhat clearer now. I am a bit lost as to what might be causing this, or how to monitor what's going on inside the jvm. Any ideas? BTW, the OrderDetail class and its subclasses are JPA entities (though I don't think it should matter).
Thanks!

How to get a LabVIEW class object to expose an invoke-node method?

Hi,
      I like the property/invoke-node "paradigm" used for interacting with "objects". Can LabVIEW-class objects expose their properties and methods this way? Can one or more LabVIEW-class objects be compiled into a library or "assembly" (or other distrubution format) that allows the property/invoke-node usage?
I've looked at (but not completely understood) "Creating LabVIEW Classes". Have also searched for related posts.
The pic below shows an invoke node wired to a class with a Public VI "VAT.Status.Hello.vi". I'd like to see VAT.Status.Hello show-up as a Method. (I just tried "Select Method", and selected "VAT.Status.Hello.vi" but dialog's "OK" button stays greyed-out.)
Cheers.

Hi Aristos,
      Thanks for the reply!  It was a bit dissappointing, though.
It appears the LabVIEW-class object will be moving away from (what seems to me) a convenient object-interface presented by the invoke-node/method paradigm - which allows us to interface with a large set of "objects" (.NET, ActiveX, LabVIEW GUI, VISA Resource, ?) in a similar manner and independent of the object's origin. Being able to read the methods and parameters that appear in these nodes is also helpful for understanding diagram logic!
I do like the option of dropping a friendly "VI looking" icon on the diagram, but perhaps an optional - even default - VI-icon representation for a class-object invoke-node is feasible - so the LabVIEW class-object could be the more generic object first, but with a traditional-G representation(?)
Given the answer "We would like, someday, to support the property node"
and "in the next version of LV, wiring the LV class to the property/invoke nodes will break the wire so we'll avoid confusion in the future",
... I guess you'll break the wire in the next version, but (perhaps) allow it again - if support of the property node is ever implemented?
Regards.
P.S. For the record, huge THANKS to whoever it was that straightened-out enumerated-types (somewhere) between LV4.1 and LV6.1.  Every time I add or remove an enumeration in a typedef, I silently give thanks to the bright and thoughtful soul(s) who made this valuable tool work so well!
Hello. This is your friendly neighborhood R&D guy for LabVIEW classes.
Regarding your request about property and invoke nodes as relates to LV classes....
Short story: We would like, someday, to support the property node. We have no intention of ever supporting the invoke node.
Long story: As we were creating LV classes, we had to evaluate the right programming interface for these things. We wanted LV classes to behave as new data types in LV. A developer should be able to create a LV class, then give it to someone who doesn't even know OO programming, and that second programmer could use the new data type without learning a lot of new concepts. From this principle, we held fast to the idea that the programming interface should be subVI calls whereever possible. The invoke node is really nothing more than a VI minus the icon. If you want, you can popup on any subvi node and uncheck the option "View as Icon". This will make the node display in a way that has the terminals listed as text, like the invoke node. So, at the end of the day, the invoke node is simply a subroutine call in LV that is language dependent, as opposed to the language independent iconography of LV generally.
The property node is a slightly different story -- the functionality of a property node is actually different than an invoke node as its terminals are various subsets of the properties available, not a fixed list of parameters like the invoke node. The property node provides a nice interface for setting multiple properties in a block and only having to check a single error return. Very friendly. Our intent is to allow you to create a VI that has 5 terminals: object in, object out, error in, error out, and either a single input or a single output of your chosen type. VIs with this conpane could be marked as "properties" of the class and would show up when you wire the class wire to the property node. We would call the subVIs behind the scenes as needed to get/set the properties.
This is on the longer term roadmap because it is "syntactic sugar" -- it sweetens the programming style, but it is not necessary to program effectively. You can get the same effect by writing those same VIs and stringing them along on a block diagram "railroad track" style. We'll probably get around to it in three or four versions of LV -- there are some major user requests that impact functionality that have to get done first.
PS -- in the next version of LV, wiring the LV class to the property/invoke nodes will break the wire so we'll avoid confusion in the future of people thinking there's a way to use these nodes.

Error while invoking ContactQueryPage method from contact.wsdl

Hi All,
Could any one provide me the java client for OnDemand webservice (contact.wsdl). I want to query ContactQueryPage operation.
I am facing some problem while making a call. I am trying with both Axis call as well as ContactStub. but its not working in either way.
Here is the snnipet I am using to invoke a method using ContactStub
String endpoint = "https://secure-ausomxdsa.crmondemand.com/Services/Integration;"+jessionId;
               ContactStub stub = new ContactStub(endpoint);
               ContactWS_ContactQueryPage_Output queryOutput = null;
               ContactWS_ContactQueryPage_Input queryInput = new ContactWS_ContactQueryPage_Input();
               ListOfContact listOfContact = new ListOfContact();
               Contact contact = new Contact();
               queryInput.setListOfContact(listOfContact);
               queryInput.setUseChildAnd("Contact");
               queryInput.setPageSize("10");
               queryInput.setStartRowNum("1");
               queryOutput = stub.ContactQueryPage(queryInput);
When I run the program..I get following exception :
org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxUnexpectedCharException: Unexpected character '"' (code 34) in DOCTYPE declaration; expected a space between public and system identifiers
Can any one help me out. Its needed urgently.
Thanks & Regards,
Sanjay

Hi !
From what I see, the only problem is the setUseChildAnd function which is waiting for a true or false argument and not a char...
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

Problem while invoking webservice-method in client-code

Hi,
I had written webservice-client-code (using uddi-ext.jar, as i am using uddi for publishing webservices.) which is invoking webservice method successfully with complex datatypes(both for return type and input paramters).
But while calling following webservice-method from my client-code:
public ComplexType[] getData(String[] p_str1, String[] p_str2)
it is throwing exception
The Exception is:
[ERROR] - 27 Mar 2007 12:34:38 -failed to invoke operation 'getData' due to an error in the soap layer (SAAJ); nested exception is: Message[failed to deserialize xml:weblogic.xml.schema.binding.DeserializationException: mapping lookup failure. type=['java:language_builtins.lang']:ArrayOfString schema context=TypedSchemaContext{javaType=[Ljava.lang.String;}]
Although I had done correct registration of mapping of ArrayOfString in client-code:
registry = m_Service.getTypeMappingRegistry();
m_TypeMapping = registry.getTypeMapping(SOAPConstants.URI_NS_SOAP_ENCODING );
m_TypeMapping.register( ArrayOfStringHolder.class,
new QName( "java:language_builtins.lang", "ArrayOfString" ),
new ArrayOfStringCodec(),
new ArrayOfStringCodec());
But some how it doesnt works.
I had searched on google as well but didnt find any reliable solutions.
Please advice.

How to realize timeout while invoking a method in remote sesssion bean using my session bean running on wls5.1

I am using WL5.1 SP11 on a project. I have a stateless session bean inside which
I will invoke a method defined in another stateless session bean in a remote weblogic
server 5.1. The performance of the remote server is very low and sometimes when
I invoke the method through RMI, I got to wait for a long time. So I want to set
a timeout for my session bean while doing RMI call. The only parameter I could
find in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml is the "transaction-timeout", but even if I set transaction
attribute for my session bean, it always block there to wait for the response
from the remote session bean. The configuation did not work.
Is there any other solutions to my problem? Please give me some advice if anyone
has experience on it, Thank you very much.
