Is JSF designed on Page Controller or Front Controoler?

Hi All,
Is JSF designed and developed based on front controller design pattern or page controller design pattern?
No Links please. I have already checked most of the links and have some confusions after reading those articles.
Thanks
Sudhakar

I hate to do this to you but check this link for the debate: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/struts-user/200603.mbox/%[email protected]%3E
There is no doubt that JSF uses the Front Controller design pattern, but gives you "page controller" funcationality to.

JD12 JSF designer does not redraw

I am having many issues in JD12 JSF designer.
One is that when I for example select a navigation button's spacer and change it's Width property, the space between buttons does not change until file is closed and re-opened. Is that expected behaviour? Dropping an operation onto the navigation button is very tricky as well. Even when selected is 'Panel group layout', sometimes a rebinding window comes up. The space where a button has to be dropped is so narrow and volatile, that dropping a button becomes a torture that I have to repeat 2-3 times before it actually drops exactly one button (and does not rebind or drop 3 copies of it).
Another is that when I am changing table column Sortable and Filterable properties, they take 2 times to change the selected values from default to true or vice versa. The green dot does appear in front of property name, but drop down reverts to default (or previous value whatever it was). Suppose I changed Sortable from default to true - it did not change. Then I am changing Filterable in the sam manner and it does not redraw, but Sortable now does. Then I have to change sortable to the same new value again and Filterable now changes. Very annoying. Is there a fix?
Selecting the controls is bugged as well. Suppose I selected a table column and changed its Row header property to true, then went on to change another one. When I click another column, it does not select, but a baloon pops up which contains a binding for that column. To close it I have to click elsewhere and re-click the column again. Why is that happening?
Suppose I dropped a panel border layout onto a facet. Undoing that does not visually remove the border layout from a form. Only closing a file and re-opening will re-draw. Similarly, I am adding a navigation button from Operations, but the buttons do not re-draw to show that a new button was added. Same as previous, only closing/re-opening a file shows a new button. Royal PITA. Is there a fix?
Suppose I am changing initial size of a table. The number by the right corner changes showing the new size, but after the bottom border is released, the size does not re-draw. Only closing and re-opening a file shows the new size.
Resizing table columns is painful. When a column is shrinking, the columns to the right of it do not move accordingly - they stay put and the width of the very next column is increasing. Thus it is absolutely impossible to arrange the columns that are beyond visible width of the table. When the column is growing, the columns to the right of it behave erratically - often they suddenly increase their width and disappear beyond the right table border. This is simply infuriating.
The last is that if the data controls dropped onto the page contain columns from more than one table, then resulting application will throw runtime exceptions (null pointer). But if I deleted all columns but that very object's own columns, and dropped it onto the page, then it will work. After that I can add any columns from that object and it will work fine. The Create Table wizard clearly creates defective code.
I am running JDEVADF_12.1.2.0.0_GENERIC_130608.2330.6668 under Windows 7 32bit. Are these issues fixed in a more recent build or going to be fixed soon?

You are not understanding the term 'narrow space' I've used. It does not equal 'width of spacer between the buttons. It equals the area of display monitor where an orange drop indicator appears that supports dropping a new button in between the existing ones. I.e. where JD12 is allowing me to drop a new operation without rebinding the existing buttons.
The JDK version is the one that JD12 itself installed - 1.7.0_15. As that's the JDK that was shipped with JD12, I contend it has to be sufficient.
There is no Mcaffee on this machine. They are using Symantec AV. There is about 300-500 MB free RAM when these issues are occurring and CPU load is about 0%.
Another issue I just noticed is that javadocs are not loading. Doc Path for JDK 1.7.0_15 that came with JD12 is set to http://docs.oracle.com/javase7docs/api/ and there is no doc under the folder where JD installed its JDK. I don't know how to fish docs for an older JDK out of Oracle web site.
As you contend that it is my system that is a root cause, I looked up the system requirements for JD12 and found that my system exceeds them.

JSF Navigation and page access out-of-order issue

I've been searching the web and the forums for an answer to what I thought would be at least a well-documented issue with JSF, but have been coming up empty. (which to me might mean its not an issue and just a lack of understanding on my part)
Lets say I have two pages, one (license.jsf) that has a simple form that presents the user with a license agreement along with two commandButtons with actions "accept" and "decline".
The other page is a landing page, lets call it "results.jsf" which the user gets navigated to should they choose to accept the license agreement.
The problem I have is whats to stop a user from just typing in results.jsf. Granted my controller can store a value somewhere as to whether they have accepted the terms of the license and not display the content on the results.jsf page, but what I'd really like to do is intercept that initial request to results.jsf and redirect them to the license.jsf page.
I can fathom a bunch of different "hacks" to make this work, but I'm really hoping that somebody knows of some more elegant solution for addressing this whether its in JSF directly or using some support framework like a SEAM or Spring(?) (I'm vaguely familiar with SEAM and I'm figuring since its got a workflow on the back end, its kinda hard to drop into the middle of a process flow, so maybe it addresses that some how). Or I'll happily take any suggested URL's to other threads/websites that offer advice on this subject.
Thanks.

Yes, I've tried that. It really is puzzling. I am also fighting the battle of the counters (trying to get them to stay centered, and (as mentioned in a separate post) trying to figure out why I have a duplicate entry in my RSS feed.
I wonder if that problem is connected to this one?

Painting with JSF Designer

The JSF Designer seems to continually hang when opening in Design mode (becomes completely unresponsive). No errors are reported, and JDeveloper just quits responding. I am using a custom view-handler in my application which works fine at run time.
Is this a known issue? Is there a way to make the JSF pages open in Source view instead of design view by default? This may be enough of a work around for now.

Bobby,
I've had no issues whatsoever with the JSF Design view. However, you can set it to use the source view by default. In Tools -> Preferences, select the "File Types" node on the left, then click the "Default Editors" tab. You can then change the default editor for JSP Source file type
Hope this helps,
John

Printing html pages from JSF-JSC created pages

Hi all,
I have a serious problem with my web apps created with JSC using the JSF components. I designed a page full of tables, developed in vertical for a total of about three or four pages scrolling down.
When I try to print the generated page from the browser (Firefox, Safari, Explorer) I always get just the first 'page', the entire webpage generated by my application is not saw as a long page, but just 'cutted' out.
It seems like all JSF components have some problems being like layers or so...any hint? How can I print my html page generated by my web app?

Perhaps viewing the source of the generated html page will give you a clue to what's wrong..

Custom page controller class

Hello,
I'm trying to implement what is explained in the article *"Two Ideas to Handle JBO-35007 'Row Currency Changed' Exception"* (http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/examples/). This example illustrates how to use a custom page controller class to override the handleError() method to conditionally handle the JBO-35007 exception ('Row currency has changed since the user interface was rendered.') in a way that might be more useful to the end-user.
So I've defined a custom page controller class in a JSP of my application, but I don't know why the application flow is not passing through the handleError method when a JBO-35007 exception occurs.
I've defined well in the pagedef the attribute "ControllerClass", and I use the "back button" to produce the JBO-35007 exception. But I don't know why the method handleError is not executed, although the the JBO-35007 exception is displayed.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
you are on JDeveloper 11g ? The article you follow was written for 10.1.3. In 11g the error handling is configured in DataBindings.cpx page. Select the DataBindings.cpx page in the Application Navigator and select its root node in the Structure Window. Then open the Property Inspector to configure your version of the Error Handler class

Design in Pages, E-mail Design?

I am trying to figure out how to e-mail something I have designed in Pages as an E-mail. In other words I don't want it to be an attachment that someone has to click on I want it to be something that someone views when they open the e-mail. I also want to include images in the design along with hyperlinks that people can click on and it will take them to the website. I tried saving it as an html but that was a mess and it still only attached it, not inserted it into the body of the e-mail. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to the Forum Sean.
To do this you will need to send a Pages document in a HTML format. And as Barbara notes, this won't work for every recipient as many tell their email program not to display HTML for security reasons. That is, spammers embed links to uniquely named images on their web page to confirm they have found a real email address. Everyone, even Mac users, should stop images from being displayed in email messages, even if they're happy to receive HTML formatted messages.
Another issue to consider is that Pages doesn't output HTML well. The look of what you design in Pages will not survive the conversion to HTML. It will look quite a bit different and require you to manually edit the HTML to fix it. For this reason, I'd recommend not creating HTML documents in Pages. If you have iLife '06, use iWeb instead. It produces much better HTML documents. There are other products you can use too. like Netscape Composer, Mozilla NVU, HTML text editors like skEdit, Adobe Dreamweaver, etc.
The alternative is just to create a Pages document, convert it to a PDF, and attach it to the email (or provide a link to it on your web site). Then you can guarantee the formatting will be exactly what you want, and will be what they see when they open it. This does require your user to have one of the many free PDF readers installed on their computer (almost all have). It also requires you to be using Mac OS X 10.4.4 or newer so that shadows and links are not destroyed when the Pages document is converted to PDF.

How to access servlet objects from OA page controller class

Hi everybody!
I need to put some value into servlet attribute in OA page controller class to read it from ordinary servlet later.
How can i do it? Is it possible to get HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse objects from page controller?
Thank you.

I have a servlet which receives uploaded files with special attributes (something like tags for file) using POST request.
This attributes created when user open page in standard OAF page via page controller.
On client side I have an applet which uploads user selected file to my servlet and passes this file attributes.
Now this attributes passes as plain text. I want to encrypt this attributes to hide attribute details from user. To do this I need to share some information between OAF page and my servlet.
I know that OAF supports URL encryption, but to decrypt it I should use standard pageContext object.
But in ordinary servlet I can't use it.

HP Photo Printing Software - How to change predefined sizes in "Design To Page size:" window?

I have a HP Photosmart printer, which came with a photo print application, "HP Photo Printing Software", Version 3.9.0.0. When I try to change the page size of the photo output using the "Design to Page Size:" screen, I see a list of predefined page sizes (e.g., "4x6 w/tab"). However, these predefined sizes (there are 11) can't be changed from within the program. For example, if I want to print a 4x6 photo with no border, which is a frequent requirement, there seems to be no way to do it.
How do I change or override these predefined print sizes in this program? BTW - I have Windows XP on my PC.

Hi Alex.
You may want to try HP's new photo-printing program, HP Photo Creations. It's a free download at www.hp.com/go/hppc.
To print photos at a predefined size, select the Print-at-Home tab (2), then Prints & Posters (3), then the Prints project (4). Then design your print and select your desired size on the printing screen (7).

JSF design disabled

Hi there,
I am facing a strange issue: I did import the ADF Faces in JDev, checked the boxes to get the components in the visual editor, and then the JSF design was no longer working (JSF components are rendered as regular JSTL objects). So I removed the ADF Faces library but nothing changed.
I don't think I did something wrong, it is so simple ;-) Any idea?
Thanks,
Fabrice.
PS: I am running JDev EA1 3412 on MacOSX.

How to move a page number in front of an image

how to move a page number in front of an image on pages??

Hello albertlini,
This can be done by chosing to move the image to the back via the Arrange tab.
Move an object to the very top or bottom of the stack: Click Front, or click Back.

Have numerous labels with designed borders as background to add name/ subject etc. "New" Pages only loads the names and seems to destroy all the designs when page is opened. Not happy!

Have numerous (Avery A4 page format) pages of labels with designed borders as background to add name/ subject (English - Mathematics etc)
"New" Pages only loads the names and seems to destroy all background border designs when page is opened.
The borders of each label show in thumbprint but when opened the border has gone. When the page is closed the borders no longer show in the thumbpint.
When earlier version of Pages is selected to open the labels it says latest version of Pages is needed!
What a mess up, it seems to be all too clever!!
Not happy!

That is what the App Store reviews and ratings are for.
Let other potential "upgraders" know.
Meanwhile use Pages '09 which should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
