JATO UML?

Is there any UML documentation of JATO? I would love to see generic
sequence diagrams and conceptual class diagrams is they exist.
Steve

Look in the Files section and there are class and sequence diagrams
for JATO 1.1.

Note - The file upload notification refers to Jato 1.1 not Jato 1.2 UML

I uploaded some Jato 1.1 UML diagrams at the request of one of the group
participants. Unfortunately, these diagrams are slightly out of sync with Jato
1.2 and therefore have not been included in the Jato 1.2 documentation.
However, the diagrams may provide some assistance to those attempting to come
up to speed on the Jato framework. Just bear in mind that the details for Jato
1.2 are slightly different.

I found a working solution, but better solution are also welcome
I had to have fr_CA not only in utf8 but also in iso88591. I had to modify the /etc/rc.conf this way :
LOCALE="fr_CA" <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
HARDWARECLOCK=""
TIMEZONE="America/Montreal"
KEYMAP="us"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"
To preserve the english US language system wide, I had to add the following line in the /etc/profile :
# Allow french special character while in en_US
export LANG=en_US
The character misinterpreted by a "?" is now seen :
as a "è" in dolphin
as a "?" in the console
It is now possible to access the folders.

Version 8 UML Module bugs are serious

The UML online update crashes less, but appears to have functionality turned off.
After two days of trying to get meaningfull class diagrams out of the UML module I gave up.
Finding the parents and children of classes in the class diagram doesn't work at all.
The discover relationship button doesn't do anything, even for simple inheritance.
Printing works badly, not rendering contents of the class, when visible on the screen.
Class Tree on left is refreshed everytime you move to that window. This takes about 6 seconds with a large project!
Then it deleted one of my *.java files!

The UML module failed every few seconds before the patch but did some interesting and usefull things which are gone now (like find the parents of a class, generalization).
The problems I mentioned were after the patch.
I hesitate to use any part of the IDE v7 at this point. I'm back to version 6 until someone tests/debugs this stuff with Jato (Web Application Framework). If you want to test it, try the Jato 2.1.4 sources with the sample applications. Then throw in the Java sources (with I didn't get to ;) ).
I also had to turn off the portals module because of some strange unhandled exception when I never even used the portal stuff.

Re: [iPlanet-JATO] Re: Retrieving all Values from a Tiled View

Todd,
Let me try to explain you this time. I have a text field in a TiledViewBean.
When I display the page, the text field
html tag is created with the name="PageDetail.rDetail[0].tbFieldName" say
five times/rows with same name.
The html tags look like this.
<input type=text name="PageDetail.rDetail[0].tbFieldName" value=""
maxlength=9 size=13>
<input type=text name="PageDetail.rDetail[0].tbFieldName" value=""
maxlength=9 size=13>
<input type=text name="PageDetail.rDetail[0].tbFieldName" value=""
maxlength=9 size=13>
When the form is submitted, I want to get the text field values using the
method getTbFieldName().getValues() which
returns an array object[]. This is in case where my TiledViewBean is not
bound and it is working fine.
Now in case when my TiledView is bound to a model, it creates the html tags
as follows.
<input type=text name="PageDetail.rDetail[0].tbFieldName" value=""
maxlength=9 size=13>
<input type=text name="PageDetail.rDetail[1].tbFieldName" value=""
maxlength=9 size=13>
<input type=text name="PageDetail.rDetail[2].tbFieldName" value=""
maxlength=9 size=13>
Now when I say getTbFieldName().getValues() it returns only the first
element values in the object[] and the rest of the
values are null.
May be we need to create a utility method do get these values from
requestContext.

turned off, and it is turned off for the SQL-based models.

Re: [iPlanet-JATO] Sorting a resultset

Steve,
Todd will probably address this more, but to set the stage for the discussion,
I will chime in. As per your scenario "say a user wants to resort the results
by some other column" , I think there needs to be some clarification on the
life cycle of the model. You scenario implies that the user sees the data and
then submits a request to sort the data. This implies that the access to the
same data is spread across two HTTP requests.
Unless explicitly or implicitly stored in session, the Model is a per request
object. Therefore, under ordinary circumstances a new instance of Model is
constructed per request and populated as needed. This is done for scalability
reasons. Most applications would not scale properly if all model instances were
kept around in session per user. There is also the issue of data integrity, a
model stored in session may not reflect the current state of the RDBMS from
which the data was previously retrieved, perhaps minutes before. So, the
default action is to instantiate a new model and repopulate that model The
normal solution would be to apply the sort criteria to the data retrieval at
that point.
What I described above is the norm and the default.
If you have compelling reasons to prefer a single retrieval style, you have to
be prepared to store the Model data in session. There are several methods
within the ModelManager class which assist in this regard. You can see them
described in the java doc.
Also bear in mind that the SQLModelBase typically copies the data from the JDBC
result set into JATO specific local storage. This is done because the JDBC
result set is not as flexible as developer needs and requires the JDBC
connection to remain open while it is used.
I suspect that Todd will describe how you can manipulate the underlying JATO
specific local storage to change the order. I just wanted to make sure you
understood the life cycle issues involved and had justification for deviating
from the default.
Also, I'm still waiting for followup on the defaultCommandChild issue - we'd
like to fix it for JATO 1.2.1 if it is a problem and so far your case is the
only one we have heard of.

Subject: [iPlanet-JATO] Sorting a resultset
If I want to sort a result set (Model) after the search has taken
place (say a user wants to resort the results by some other column),
can this be done without issuing another query? The reason I ask is
that the next() method in the ResultSetModelBase calls synchronizeRow
(), which resets the row, which sounds like a sort done outside of
the SQL would be reverted.

Re: [SunONE-JATO] How to use a tiled view without a model

John,
Check out the docs for DefaultModel. There is an appendRow() method.
So get your tiledview's primary model (the tiledview's primary model
should be set to use an instance of DefaultModel), model.appendRow(),
then model.setValue("fieldname", value) for each value.
Rinse, repeat as needed.

Thanks for the pointers. I ended up doing something else. I set the

iterated, populated the value from some vectors I had the data in
already. Is this solution fraught with peril and will ultimately fail,
or should I try your way?

Re: [SunONE-JATO] Re: How to use a tiled view without a model

I'm not sure what is different for you now. You still parse the string
and put it into a data structure. Before the data structure was a
vector, in JATO its just a model with a "hidden" data structure (a hash
map).
MVC only really comes into play when you talk about where your write
this code, and where the data structure is being stored. So really, JATO
takes care of half of the MVC'ness of it all (where the data is store).
You just decide where to be the code to populate the model.
Make sense?
Is there something different required of you in JATO in this scenario
that I am not grasping?

With JATO, how would I make a model for something that doesn't have a
database component like this?
I'm pretty new to this MVC thing, so bear with me.

Subject: Re: [SunONE-JATO] Re: How to use a tiled view without a model
I guess the only thing "weird" (for lack of a better term) about what
you are doing is that your are populating the model on the "display
cycle". Typically, the cycle goes like this:
Request -> populate model -> update data store -> retrieve data to
populate model -> display data
some of the above steps are optional but hopefully you get the point I
am making.
So what you are doing is:
Request -> populate model/display data
If it works for you, then it's not necessarilly wrong. But I would
probably have my model populated before I forwarded to the target
(displaying view bean) or at a minimum, in the begin display event of
the view bean or the tiled view, but not during the iteration of the
tiled view.

Check out the docs for DefaultModel. There is an appendRow() method.
So get your tiledview's primary model (the tiledview's primary model
should be set to use an instance of DefaultModel), model.appendRow(),
then model.setValue("fieldname", value) for each value.
Rinse, repeat as needed.

Re: [iPlanet-JATO] onBeforeRequest(); Finding requested view from requestContext

The problem is that you don't know what the target view is until it has
been forwarded to.
Think about it... the request handling view bean (or command object) has
the request handler that has the code that will ultimately forward to
another view bean. This is code that you have written. So, until that
forwardTo() is invoked, there is no notion of a "target page".
What you do know is which "page" (view bean) the request is coming from
(the handling view bean or command class). You can get this from the
HttpServletRequest. The attribute name is "viewBean".
So you can get the view bean name by doing the following in onBeforeRequest:
<HttpServletRequest>.getAttribute("viewBean");
But I suspect this is not going to solve your current issue.
You could add the target page name to the page session. If there is more
than one possible target page, it might get a little more involved.
Let me know if the use of page session needs further explanation.

Re: [iPlanet-JATO] Re: onBeforeRequest(); Finding requested view from requestContext

If you want to stop a JATO request in its tracks, you have a little black
magic at your disposal: you can throw a CompleteRequestException. This
indicates to the JATO infrastructure that it should immeditately stop
handling the request, but not generate an error, as the develper has taken
full control. You can generally throw this error from anywhere, at any
point--it is a RuntimeException, and is "tunneled" through other exception
handlers where appropriate.
In your scenario, you want to check if the user is logged in, and if not,
save the target URL using the parsePathInfo() method. Then, forward to the
login page and then throw a CompleteRequestException.

RE: [iPlanet-JATO] Href click & tiled view display

Srinivas,
I hope that I am not oversimplifying your first question; repost if I do not
answer your question. Independent of JATO, HTML Form button sumbits will
include the scraping of data off the form input fields; the data will passed
as part of the body of the HTTP request. Therefore, you would expect to
receive all your inputs during the Button submit. In the case of a button,
a HTTP POST request is invoked. Href clicks, only submit the NVPs which are
encoded on the HREF URL. Therefore, it is impossible (under normal
circumstances) to retrieve the inputs from the FORM during the Href click.
In the case of a Href, a HTTP GET request is invoked. Some customers have
used a pattern in which Javascript is used to capture the Href onClick()
event to perform some runtime modifications to the HREF URL before the HTTP
GET request is submitted. I recommend to always have the LogProxy2 utility
running during development so that the HTTP requests and repsonses can be
debugged. If you setup the LogProxy2 (downloadable from this Group's Files
repository) then you would see the HTTP requests in the LogProxy2's console
window.
TiledView question: Remember, each TiledView requires a "primary
DatasetModel" which it uses for iteration of the tiles. It can be
confusing, but the API call of
<ContainerView>.getDefaultModel()
has no relation to the implementation class called DefaultModel. See the
Javadoc (excerp below)
/migtoolbox-1.1.1/doc/jato/api/com/iplanet/jato/view/ContainerView.html#getD
efaultModel()
"Returns this view's default model. The default model is typically used by
DisplayField children for default value storage (if they are not bound to
any other model). This method should always return a valid model instance.
Note that the default model need not be an actual instance of DefaultModel,
although this is usually the case."
Both of your TiledView's (inner and outer) are ContainerViews, each having
their own property for [get/set]DefaultModel(). Likewise, the ViewBean
parent of the outer TiledView is a ContainerView as well. With these facts
in mind, consider the behavior of the ModelManager. The ModelManager will
ensure that only once instance of specifically named model will be provided
during a request scope. Therefore, everytime that you make a call to
<ModelManager>.getModel(SomeModel.class)
no matter how many times you make this call during a request, the
ModelManager will ensure that you get the same object reference back.
Implicitly, you are asking for a Model with the exclusive name of
<ModelManager>.getDefaultModelInstanceName(SomeModel.class)
I believe that your problem is that you have the Primary Model of both the
inner and outer TiledView's set to the same instance of the DefaultModel
class. Therefore, the TiledViews are tripping over each other because they
are using the same Primary model. What I would do is change the constructor
of each TiledView to set an exclusive Primary model
// add to constructor of outer TileView
setPrimaryModel(getModelI(DefaultModel.class,"outer")
// add to constructor of inner TileView
setPrimaryModel(getModelI(DefaultModel.class,"inner")
remember to set the "size" of the Primary Model appropriately in the
beginDisplay() event of each TiledView before calling super.beginDisplay()

Subject: [iPlanet-JATO] Href click & tiled view display
Hi,
I'm facing the following two problems in JATO. Your help will be
appreciated.
1) Clicking a HREF.
I have a button and a href in a page. When I submit the page by
clicking the button, I'm able to
get all the user entered data (form elements) in handler method.
However, when I click
the href and I try to retrieve the data entered by the user in my
corresponding handler method, I'm
getting blank values.
How would I be able to get the user entered data upon clicking of a href
? I'm copying the sample
code for your reference.
// This returns me 5 values entered in the 5 tiles by the user.
public void handleBButtonRequest(RequestContext req)
throws ServletException, IOException
try
System.out.println("button clicked..");
pgSampleTiledView tiledView = getSampleTile();
System.out.println("\n\n\n\n@@@@@@@@@@@ No of tiles >>>
"+tiledView.getNumTiles());
int n = tiledView.getNumTiles();
for (int i=0; i<n; i++)
tiledView.setTileIndex(i);
System.out.println(i+".
"+tiledView.getTbValue().getValue().toString());
this.forwardTo(req);
catch (Exception ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
// This returns me 0 tiles and doesn't get into for loop
public void handleLinkModifyDistributionRequest(RequestContext req )
throws ServletException, IOException
try
System.out.println("href clicked..");
pgSampleTiledView tiledView = getSampleTile();
System.out.println("\n\n\n\n@@@@@@@@@@@ No of tiles >>>
"+tiledView.getNumTiles());
int n = tiledView.getNumTiles();
for (int i=0; i<n; i++)
tiledView.setTileIndex(i);
System.out.println(i+".
"+tiledView.getTbValue().getValue().toString());
this.forwardTo(req);
catch (Exception ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
2) Tiled view display
I have tiled view inside another tiled view. Based upon the data
retrieved from the database, lets say, the outer tile needs to be
displayed twice and the inner tile 3 times and 1 time.
For Ex: Lets say, the desired output from these tiled views is as
follows
STOCK INVESTMENT
stock name1
stock name2
stock name3
OTHER INVESTMENT
other investment1
The outer tiled view displays the investment type headings (STOCK
INVESTMENT or OTHER INVESTMENT) and inner tile
displays the actual stock names or the other investment names. Both
the tile views are bound to a default model. In the begin display
of these tiled view I'm setting the size of the model as
getPrimaryModel.setSize(requiredsize).
If i display 3 records in the inner tiled view in the first iteration
and i try to display 1 record in the second iteration, it displays 3
records
properly the first time but it doesn't display any records second
time. super.nextTile() returns false right away second time.
But If I try to display 1 record in the first iteration and 3 records in
the second iteration as below, it works fine.
STOCK INVESTMENT
stock name1
OTHER INVESTMENT
other investment1
other investment2
other investment3
Please let me know what could be the problem.
Thanks

used a pattern in which Javascript is used to capture the Href onClick()
event to perform some runtime modifications to the HREF URL
before the HTTP
GET request is submitted. I recommend to always have the
LogProxy2 utility
running during development so that the HTTP requests and repsonses can be
debugged. If you setup the LogProxy2 (downloadable from this
Group's Files
repository) then you would see the HTTP requests in the
LogProxy2's console
window.
TiledView question: Remember, each TiledView requires a "primary
DatasetModel" which it uses for iteration of the tiles. It can be
confusing, but the API call of
<ContainerView>.getDefaultModel()
has no relation to the implementation class called DefaultModel. See the
Javadoc (excerp below)
/migtoolbox-1.1.1/doc/jato/api/com/iplanet/jato/view/ContainerView
.html#getD
efaultModel()
"Returns this view's default model. The default model is typically used by
DisplayField children for default value storage (if they are not bound to
any other model). This method should always return a valid model instance.
Note that the default model need not be an actual instance of
DefaultModel,
although this is usually the case."
Both of your TiledView's (inner and outer) are ContainerViews, each having
their own property for [get/set]DefaultModel(). Likewise, the ViewBean
parent of the outer TiledView is a ContainerView as well. With
these facts
in mind, consider the behavior of the ModelManager. The ModelManager will
ensure that only once instance of specifically named model will
be provided
during a request scope. Therefore, everytime that you make a call to
<ModelManager>.getModel(SomeModel.class)
no matter how many times you make this call during a request, the
ModelManager will ensure that you get the same object reference back.
Implicitly, you are asking for a Model with the exclusive name of
<ModelManager>.getDefaultModelInstanceName(SomeModel.class)
I believe that your problem is that you have the Primary Model of both the
inner and outer TiledView's set to the same instance of the DefaultModel
class. Therefore, the TiledViews are tripping over each other
because they
are using the same Primary model. What I would do is change the
constructor
of each TiledView to set an exclusive Primary model
// add to constructor of outer TileView
setPrimaryModel(getModelI(DefaultModel.class,"outer")
// add to constructor of inner TileView
setPrimaryModel(getModelI(DefaultModel.class,"inner")
remember to set the "size" of the Primary Model appropriately in the
beginDisplay() event of each TiledView before calling super.beginDisplay()

Subject: [iPlanet-JATO] Href click & tiled view display
Hi,
I'm facing the following two problems in JATO. Your help will be
appreciated.
1) Clicking a HREF.
I have a button and a href in a page. When I submit the page by
clicking the button, I'm able to
get all the user entered data (form elements) in handler method.
However, when I click
the href and I try to retrieve the data entered by the user in my
corresponding handler method, I'm
getting blank values.
How would I be able to get the user entered data upon clicking of a href
? I'm copying the sample
code for your reference.
// This returns me 5 values entered in the 5 tiles by the user.
public void handleBButtonRequest(RequestContext req)
throws ServletException, IOException
try
System.out.println("button clicked..");
pgSampleTiledView tiledView = getSampleTile();
System.out.println("\n\n\n\n@@@@@@@@@@@ No of tiles >>>
"+tiledView.getNumTiles());
int n = tiledView.getNumTiles();
for (int i=0; i<n; i++)
tiledView.setTileIndex(i);
System.out.println(i+".
"+tiledView.getTbValue().getValue().toString());
this.forwardTo(req);
catch (Exception ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
// This returns me 0 tiles and doesn't get into for loop
public void handleLinkModifyDistributionRequest(RequestContext req )
throws ServletException, IOException
try
System.out.println("href clicked..");
pgSampleTiledView tiledView = getSampleTile();
System.out.println("\n\n\n\n@@@@@@@@@@@ No of tiles >>>
"+tiledView.getNumTiles());
int n = tiledView.getNumTiles();
for (int i=0; i<n; i++)
tiledView.setTileIndex(i);
System.out.println(i+".
"+tiledView.getTbValue().getValue().toString());
this.forwardTo(req);
catch (Exception ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
2) Tiled view display
I have tiled view inside another tiled view. Based upon the data
retrieved from the database, lets say, the outer tile needs to be
displayed twice and the inner tile 3 times and 1 time.
For Ex: Lets say, the desired output from these tiled views is as
follows
STOCK INVESTMENT
stock name1
stock name2
stock name3
OTHER INVESTMENT
other investment1
The outer tiled view displays the investment type headings (STOCK
INVESTMENT or OTHER INVESTMENT) and inner tile
displays the actual stock names or the other investment names. Both
the tile views are bound to a default model. In the begin display
of these tiled view I'm setting the size of the model as
getPrimaryModel.setSize(requiredsize).
If i display 3 records in the inner tiled view in the first iteration
and i try to display 1 record in the second iteration, it displays 3
records
properly the first time but it doesn't display any records second
time. super.nextTile() returns false right away second time.
But If I try to display 1 record in the first iteration and 3 records in
the second iteration as below, it works fine.
STOCK INVESTMENT
stock name1
OTHER INVESTMENT
other investment1
other investment2
other investment3
Please let me know what could be the problem.
Thanks
