Is a JSP Tag Library providing Oracle Financial look and feel available

We are going to use Oracle Financial as part of our future application.
That is why other parts of it (which we plan to develop using JDeveloper)
have to have the same Look and Feel.
Is a JSP Tag Library that provides Oracle Financial Look and Feel available?

Oracle Applications use BC4J, UIX, and JDeveloper.
The UIX framework implements the Oracle "Browser Look And Feel" (BLAF) that our Oracle Applications self-service applications use.
The UIX JSP tag library lets JSP developers do the same.

How can I include a JSP, Maximized, and retain look and feel(WSRP)

I have created a page group and defined a root page with a certain look and feel. There are two portlets on the page. Once the user clicks on a submit button, the portlet performs some action and includes a jsp included in the EAR file. The portlet needs to maximize the UI to display the jsp correctly.
Once control returns back to the screen, the look and feel is lost and uses Oracle's default style. I have two questions:
1. From the portlet, how can I retain the look and feel of the page group when referencing "external" jsp (i.e JSPs in the deployed portal EAR file).
2. How can I "redirect" the user to the home page in a standard way? If there is not a standard way, how do I use the Oracle specific utilities to do it?
All of my JSPs are developed externally out of the scope of the Oracle Portal.
Environment - Oracle Portal 10.1.4 on Release 2 using WSRP to contact Oracle Release 3, hosted EAR file (WSRP Producer).
Thanks in advance.

Hi José,
I don't think that is possible. But you can import the css files that ep uses for its look and feel and try to give your web pages similar look and feel. The tables and other controls used in EP are totally different and are done through complex JavaScript coding instead of simple HTML tags. If you want exact lok and feel then i thin you must go for a Webdynpro based application rather then a J2EE application with JSPs.

How to give BSP Iview look and feel of portal??

Hi All,
I've created a BSP application that I use to create an Iview for portal.
I thought that if i used htmlb tags that the look and feel of portal would be automatic to my app but its not.
I've tried assigning portal css classes to a html table but there's no effect.
I've previewed one of the standard ivews and viewed the source and found the path of the css file. But when i looked for it on the server, while the out folder was there (com.sap.portal.design.portaldesigndata) , there was no css files in this folder.
So i'm at a loss. In summary, how do i get my bsp app to have the portal look and feel????? I would prefer to use the css files so that if any changes are made to the standard, the changes will be reflected in my custom iviews too.
Any help, would be most welcome,
Liz.

Hi Liz,
on the properties tab for the BSP application try selecting the "Supports Portal Integration" checkbox.
Cheers

What are the functions of look and feel files?

Hi,
If some one can explain me what are individual role in look and feel of the ISA B2C application.
mainFS.jsp
main_inner.jsp
catalogFS.jsp
accountFS.jsp
refresherB2C.jsp
I want to know function of each files. If I change any file then where exactly I can see changes which I made.
Any help from any one highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Ashish

Hi,
If you get hold of the ISA Development and Extension guide there is a section highlighting which frames go where in the main application.
You can also see which .jsp pages are displayed where by adding the following parameter to the root URL of the application when you logon.
http://<host>:<port>/b2c/b2c/init.do?showmodulename=true
This will display the name of each jsp page in the frames on screen.
Also, surely you must have been asked to change certain aspects of the application - not specific files? You shouldn't just change the files and then "see what happens"...
Hope this helps,
Gareth.

Tweak Javas Look and Feel

Hello everybody,
just wondering if you can help me here, I want to tweak the Look and Feel of some of the objects within a program such a menu backgrounds etc. I think that I am the right lines with this but it does not appear to do anything
I have a class which is called DefaultDEFTheme in this I am declaring the following lines:
public ColorUIResource getRedBackground()/*Could this be problem because getRedBackground does not exist?*/
return new ColorUIResource(255, 0, 0);
Then I have a class that is called DEFLookandFeel and I want to set the colors in the UIDefaults table, so for instance this is the code if I wanted to change the menu background
protected void initSystemColorDefaults(UIDefaults table)
Object[] systemColors = {
"desktop", getDesktopColor(), /* Color of the desktop background */
"activeCaption", getWindowTitleBackground(), /* Color for captions (title bars) when they are active. */
"activeCaptionText", getWindowTitleForeground(), /* Text color for text in captions (title bars). */
"activeCaptionBorder", getPrimaryControlShadow(), /* Border color for caption (title bar) window borders. */
"inactiveCaption", getWindowTitleInactiveBackground(), /* Color for captions (title bars) when not active. */
"inactiveCaptionText", getWindowTitleInactiveForeground(), /* Text color for text in inactive captions (title bars). */
"inactiveCaptionBorder", getControlShadow(), /* Border color for inactive caption (title bar) window borders. */
"window", getWindowBackground(), /* Default color for the interior of windows */
"windowBorder", getControl(), /* ??? */
"windowText", getUserTextColor(), /* ??? */
"menu", getMenuBackground(), /* Background color for menus, I am right in presuming this does not change? */
"menuText", getMenuForeground(), /* Text color for menus */
"text", getWindowBackground(), /* Text background color */
"textText", getUserTextColor(), /* Text foreground color */
"textHighlight", getTextHighlightColor(), /* Text background color when selected */
"textHighlightText", getHighlightedTextColor(), /* Text color when selected */
"textInactiveText", getInactiveSystemTextColor(), /* Text color when disabled */
"control", getControl(), /* Default color for controls (buttons, sliders, etc) */
"controlText", getControlTextColor(), /* Default color for text in controls */
"controlHighlight", getControlHighlight(), /* Specular highlight (opposite of the shadow) */
"controlLtHighlight", getControlHighlight(), /* Highlight color for controls */
"controlShadow", getControlShadow(), /* Shadow color for controls */
"controlDkShadow", getControlDarkShadow(), /* Dark shadow color for controls */
"scrollbar", getControl(), /* Scrollbar background (usually the "track") */
"info", getPrimaryControl(), /* ToolTip Background */
"infoText", getPrimaryControlInfo() /* ToolTip Text */
for (int i = 0; i < systemColors.length; i += 2)
table.put( (String) systemColors, systemColors[i + 1]);
UIManager.put("Button.select", getButtonSelectColor());
// Set the color for selected button */
UIManager.put("Button.background", getButtonBackground());
/* Set the color for selected button */
UIManager.put("Menu.background", getRedBackground());
/* Set the color for the menu to red background*/
Then further on I set this:
public static ColorUIResource getRedBackground(){ return getCurrentTheme().getRedBackground(); }
But i have left in the getMenuBackground above it, I have also tried to take it out but nothing happens.
I also have a class called DEFTheme and in this I declare the following
public ColorUIResource getRedBackground()
return new ColorUIResource(255, 0, 0 );
Yet after changing all of this nothing ever happens. Am I going about this the completley wrong way ie should I change the colors in the DEFTheme and thats it?
Please please help, this is becoming a real problem and I cannot find any relevant resources!!
Thanks so much in advance,
Z.

Yes, its a crosspost, but this is the correct forum since this a Swing related question. Your crosspost comment belongs in the other forum.

BSP - Look and Feel / Theme

Good Morning All,
disclaimer: I checked the blogs, I checked the discussions, I checked the examples, I checked the doco - and couldn't find the answer to my question.
Question:
I've already seen it, but can't remember where it is, does anyone know the name of the BSP Sample/Example which comes with the WAS which has the EP6 look and feel ?
I saw it a few weeks ago and I can't find it now and I want to study the code from it to make my app have a nicer look and feel.
Note: I read Thomas's blog on - 'A developer's Journal Part VI
and although that example discussed what I am interested in I couldn't see examples in the code of creating the header bar etc, maybe it's just me, but at the moment that's what I would like to achieve and to do it by example.
So to conclude if anyone knows / can remember the name of the BSP example which has an EP6 look and feel please let me know so that I can study it for inspiration.
Thanks very much,
Milan.

Hallo Milan,
I think that you are doing good. It is always the best to follow a small mix of documentation reading and practical work. So let me tell you the minimum to get a first version working. Thereafter to can continue reading!
Problem: we want to implement a simple link tag (in 15 minutes!) that works like this:
<%@page language="abap"%>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb"%>
<%@extension name="bcm06" prefix="bcm06"%>
<htmlb:content design="design2003">
<htmlb:page>
 <bcm06:simpleLink href="http://www.sap.com">
 SAP Home Page!
 </bcm06:simpleLink>
</htmlb:page>
</htmlb:content>
In SE80 we defined a new BSP library bcm06. We define a new element simpleLink. Typical handler class name will be CL_BCM06_SIMPLELINK (just the convention we use). As body this tag can contain other HTML and also over BSP elements (we want to just render a link around all of body). We don't worry about the rest of the checkboxes. They will become interesting later on.
We activate the library. The workbench will detect that no handler class exists, and will generate all of the stuff we need. Now already the tag is full functional, and can be used on any BSP page. It just will not do anything.
What was generated? The class inheritance diagram is as follow: CL_BCM06_SIMPLELINK --> CLG_BCM06_SIMPLELINK --> CL_BSP_ELEMENT.
The class CL_BSP_ELEMENT is the base class, and it contains a lot of interesting functionality. None of which we worry about now. Never try to change it!
The class CLG_BCM06_SIMPLELINK (note that CLG_!) is generated new each and everytime that you touch the definition of the tag. Effectively all the defined attributes are generated onto this class, so that they are already of the correct type, and that this information is always in sync. This means that all your tag defined attributes are directly attributes on your class. In our case, the defined "href" attribute (type string) is now an attribute on the CLG class.
The last class CL_BCM06_SIMPLELINK will only be generated once if it does not exist. This is the class where you work. In this class there are two methods that are interesting to you at this moment. Later you will learn about the rest.
DO_AT_BEGINNING: This method is called effectively in response to the <lib:tag> sequence. This is the code that executes before the body. This is the place where we would like to render out "<a href=...>" sequence.
DO_AT_END: This method is called effectively at the end of the tag, when the </lib:tag> is seen. The body has now already been processed and sent onto the output stream. So we only need to render "</a>".
Note that these methods are implemented empty. You *MUST* overwrite them, and implement them in your class. See instructions from Thomas. Source code:
METHOD if_bsp_element~do_at_beginning.
DATA: html TYPE string.
CONCATENATE `<a href="` me->href `">` INTO html.
me->print_string( html ).
rc = co_element_continue.
ENDMETHOD.
METHOD if_bsp_element~do_at_end.
me->print_string( `</a>` ).
rc = co_page_continue.
ENDMETHOD.
Notice that you DO NOT need that super call. The base method will always be empty (from definition, will never change). You also have a direct PRINT_STRING method in newer SPs. The return code you must set. (To tell the truth, the constants for RC have been picked so perfectly that if you forget them, it should not hurt in 85% of the cases.)
That is it. Test page. Mine worked!
Of course, we can start looking at more exotic things, like empty tags, at tags that skip their bodies if not required, processing the body, validation, etc.
But this overview was just to give you that first success feeling, and also to give you a better framework for understanding more of the documentation as you continue to read.
Recommended: read <a href="/people/brian.mckellar/blog/2004/06/11/bsp-trouble-shooting-getting-help">Getting Help</a> to see how you can quickly navigate between BSP page and a tag's definition, from where you also quickly get to the implementation class of the tag.
bye, brian

Delay in applying Look and feel on jDialog

I am working with java1.4 / OS as windows Xp.
Recently i came across an interesting problem regarding look and feel.
Actually my syatem llok and feel was windows and i set swing application Look and feel as Metal. Now whenever i am launching any dialog on my awing application , The dialog appears in windows LAF for few nenoseconds and then changes to Metal.
Even if if check the llok and feel just before launcing the dialog i am getting Metal as result
Can any one help me out about what might be going wrong ?

I've never noticed this before. (I guiess my eyes aren't good enought to spot something for a few nanoseconds)
If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE) that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.

Edit templates and change the look and feel of apex UI

Hi Friends,
I am trying to change the look and feel of apex pages(change the alignment,color etc) and try to edit the template
of apex pages. Please give me links or tutorials that helps to accomplish this,
Thanks,
Tj

Hello Tj,
You can spend some time on how to create your own Template, but it comes down to design your site in html and then break it into pieces and change the Templates in APEX with that html.
In that html you use tags e.g. #BOX_BODY# to tell APEX where the forms and reports need to come.
In the doc there are some explanations too: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e11838/themes.htm#BABBFHJA
I think the best method is to just try it. Sure we give a course on that too, so it's up to you if you need training on that or the doc/your tries are sufficient or not.
Once you know how things work you can do pretty much everything.
Regards,
Dimitri

HTMLB or html - when we need full control of look and feel and events

Hi Experts,
In my requirement i need to change the look and feel of the BSP UI as per customer standards and i need to have most of my processing on client side, Please advise me whether to go for HTMLB or normal HTML. mainly i fount most of the client side events are not available in HTMLB....
Thanks in advance
Karthik

Hi Karthik,
The look and feel of the BSP Tags can be applied via Portal. If you are seeing your BSP application through a protal system, then you can develop a theme inside the portal and apply it to your BSP application. The portal theme will be automatically supported by the HTMLB tags. For more infomation on this you can search in the portal forum section, you will find a lot of post for this topic.
But if you need a complex customization of the UI controls inside the BSP application, as suggested in the previous post you should go for HTML + Javascript library.
Hope it is helpful!

Maheswaran

Implementing Forms look and feel into oracle 10g

hello, im using oracle 10.1.2.0.2
i've been trying to implement this look and feel project hours ago here are the steps that i followed:
# Copy the corresponding JAR file to your /forms/java directory. [copied it to C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\java\ and renamed it to laf.jar like mentioned in http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=693024 but copied also laf_1012.jar ]
# Update your /forms/server/formsweb.cfg file.
As it needs the Sun Java Plug-in instead of the Oracle JInitiator, you have to create a special section that uses the Sun Plug-in.
You also need to add the corresponding JAR file to the archive tag (not the archive_jini). [modified it to archive=frmall.jar,laf.jar, laf_1012.jar, i didnt know what to do with the Sun Java Plug-in but when i debug and run the oracle there is an icon that shows the java icon launched]
# Copy the forms.css file somewhere on your disk (by default, it is searched in the C:/ root directory). [done and i've put it in c:\]
# Compile the laf.pll PL/SQL library, then copy the pll.plx to one of the directories pointed by the FORMS_PATH variable.
*i've put the laf.pll in my C:\DevSuiteHome_1\forms as shown in the FORMS_PATH of the default.env
*tried to open the laf.pll from the oracle froms and reports, choosed Program -> Compile PL/SQL -> All, but errors like PKG_DB_LAF_LOV.PREPARE must be declared ...
*tried to compile it using f60gen module=laf.pll userid=Administrator/pass module_type=LIBRARY output_file=laf.plx batch=yes compile_all=SPECIAL but the f60gen is no where to be found
*i tried to replace f60gen by envshell.cmd from the $APPL_TOP but i cant find any environment variable called $APPL_TOP, i even searched the whole hard disk for envshell.cmd and couldnt find anything
Please help as this is the final step of implementation, waiting any response asap!

Introduction of R12 look and feel

I built jsp pages using adf components on jdev 10.1.3
I tried to introduce the swan look and feel by makin an xss sheet in WEB-INF/lib/META-INF/adf/styles directory
I was able to change the background colors but couldnt change the look of commandbutton.
What I did was i made a new style selector called .OrabuttonEnabled and in the styleclass property of the commandbutton i added this value. But its not working.
Also I was not able to change the icons like focus,expand and collapse icons of treetable.
Please help me.

So I tried with a css file.It works fine now.
I made a new style selector called .AFbuttonEnabled and set it as styleclass for the enabled buttons and .AFbuttonDisabled as style selector for disabled buttons.
But i have some disabled buttons that are enabled when a boolean value is set.
So how do I change the style class accordingly.
What I mean to ask is if there is some way to change the style class conditionally.
Please reply.

Hello,
I have spent a lot of time to indicate wherever I could that you don't have to ask questions about the LAF on this forum. You have two other different locations, a dedicated email and a dedicated forum.
At the first sight, it seems that you have not used the laf_10123.jar in your archive tag.
Thank you,
