JSR for Java Page Flow?

Hello there,
I would love to know if there is or will be a JSR for the Java Page Flow
technology that we have in Workshop. If not. what are the reasons behind this?
I see there is JSR207 for the Process Definition stuff for integration, but what
about page flow?
thanks,
frank

Frank,

Frank,
Speaking for page flows, there will soon be an Ant compiler and
supporting libraries to allow page flows to run on Tomcat and possibly
other standards-based products as well. Whether there will be any other
standardization push for page flows, such as a JSR, remains to be
determined.
I can't say anything for XML beans other than it's currently freely
available from BEA.

Hi Chris,
I have already gone through this document. But the procedure that is given in it is not working. I mean I am not able to render diffferent different jspx files based on the menu link clicked. It will great if you can provide me steps by step process since I am new to the portal World.
Thanks a lot for your reply

JSR-168 vs Page Flow question

Hi,
I i use JSR-168 to do my Portlets instead of page flow, which functionnality/features
will i loose ?
Thanks

Two main features
* Managing flow: WLW can help manage flow for pageflows, but with JSR168
portlets, you need to create the flow programmatically.
* Databinding: Pageflows support advanced databinding features, and
these features are not part of the spec defining JSR168 portlets.

Difference between java page flow and java process definition

I have joined a BEA WebLogic Integration project as an entry level BEA developer. I have a big question on the real difference between a jpf and a jpd. My co-workers say there is actually no difference, but I don't believe so. I think a jpd is more like a back-end process and it may or may not not need a View(MVC). While a jpf is the Controller(MVC) and is closely related to a web-based application where all the navigation logic(and only navigation logic) resides. A jpf normally should have a View(rendered on browser or other terminals) to present data from Model. I strongly believe this is true. But my project manager and my team lead, both are very technical guys, fiercely object to my understanding. I am extremely curious to have input from the BEA community on this fundamental concept.

I find it hard to believe your team lead really believes there is no difference between a JPF and a JPD. There are numerous differences, both conceptually and technically.
I believe your understanding of the differing roles of the two is correct. A JPF would represent the view of an application, and a JPD would represent callable services of an application, and server-side business logic.
From the technical point of view, a JPF, assuming it avoided certain features, can be deployed on Tomcat. The core of it is a pure servlet application. A JPD is an EJB, either a SLSB or a SFSB.

Weblogic portal page flow issue

Hi,
We are working with portal development using legacy product. This runs on weblogic portal 8.1 SP 4.
Part of the project, we have to provide user management. We are planning to use the java page flow offered by weblogic.
When we create a new application and new project and try to create a new page flow (with the UserManager controller) standalone, it works.
We access the legacy portlets by IMPORTING it as a project inside weblogic portal (i.e workshop). If we follow the same steps to create the page controller in this imported project, the page flow does not work. i.e., instead of displaying the form, it generates java code in the test browser of Workshop
Do we have to enable any project specific settings for jpf to work.

Hi,
Proliferation refers to the process by which changes made to the Library instance of a portal asset are pushed into user-customized instances of that asset which means that when any changes are made to the portlet in source and if you want to propagate that change to the destination, that time if that portlet is used in a desktop where many users are provided an option to customize that desktop only that particular time at destination if you change the Portal Resources Proliferation of Updates Configuration setting to either Asynchronous or off propagation will be faster because that time propagation utility will not change for each user. If the value is synchronous it changes for each user and hence some delay that too it will happen during commit operation only but not during download operation.
So I feel, Proliferation may not be useful for your case.
We need to find why downloading source is taking 3 hrs and destination is taking 8 hrs.
Please let me know whether you are running downloadsource and downloaddestination.
I suggest run downloadSource in source machine itself and downloadDestination on the destination Machine itself so that you can reduce the network latency.
Thanks & Regards,
Murali.

Is there a way to RECREATE the Page Flow Overview in BEA Workshop 4WL?

BEA Workshop foe weblogic makes JSP development a lot simpler, and the auto generated Page Flow Overview is a nice feature - as long as your page flows are relatively small and simple. It doesn't take much to completlly confuse the tool though and you end up with a workflow with all sorts of flow lines cris-crossing each other - often I which I could just reach in and move a single jsp or action item and the whole mess would straighten out.
Is there a way to reposition individual elements of the Page Flow Overview or failing that to have it Recreate itself (in hopes that it will straighten out the mess itself).
Also is there a way to manually edit the flow - adding notes and/or objects and flow lines?

There is no explicit "refresh" button for the Page Flow Overview (PFO), however clicking the "Show Link Labels" button on the toolbar will cause the graph to be redrawn.
That said, in my experience replotting the graph nearly always arrives at the same layout. While the layout algorithm does a pretty good job with large graphs generally, some very highly connected graphs can be pretty tough to read right off the bat.
For various reasons we've moved away from having users manually tweak the layout to deal with this situation. However, we added some highlighting functionality to help make graphs easier to read even if the layout appears tangled.
If you click the Graph Tracing button on the PFO toolbar you can select a given node and see all directly connected nodes highlighted. If some of the directly connected nodes are far away on the canvas, park the PFO next to the Page Flow Editor view and you'll be able to see a more regular arrangement of the same nodes.
When you're more interested in following a specific path than seeing the whole immediate neighborhood, you can hit the slash key repeatedly to cycle through highlighting all the links connected to the selected node.
Finally, you can ctrl-click to multi-select links of interest if you want to trace a given path all the way through the flow. If you were doing this for documentation purposes you can print the graph in this state, or click the Export to Image button, to make a copy of the highlighted path.
WRT your other question about editing the flow - the Page Flow Editor is intended to complement the PFO as a means of efficiently editing the flow. Select a node in the PFO and you be able to add/modify connections to that node viat the Page Flow Editor.
There is no provision to add notes or other objects to the flow (though the exported image files can of course be annotated in a graphics editor for documentation purposes).
I hope that helps.

Struts-config.xml page flow diagram

I am using JDeveloper 10.1.2.17.84 version. When I double click on the struts-config.xml file of my application it does not have a tab for the page flow diagram. What's wrong? How can I correct this?

"Struts diagram support has to be enabled or disabled at the extension level, this means that when JDeveloper is running with the support disabled, all Struts configurations in the IDE will be shown without diagrams."

Make an existing page flow as nested page flow

Hi
I have a page flow and want to make it as a nested page flow. I observed that there is a checkbox for making a page flow as nested when we create a page flow. I haven't selected that option during creation.
Is there any property i can set for a page flow to make it nested.
Appreciate your help in this.
Thanks,
RK

Hi,
Just update the entry after the import in your existing page flow controller from @jpf controller to @jpf controller nested="true".
Once you do this, Worksop would indicate an error saying that this pageflow does not have an @jpf forward with the return action. To overcome this error add the following code in your jpf
* @jpf:action
* @jpf:forward name="done" return-action="newpageflow1Done"
public Forward done()
return new Forward("done");
This should make your pageflow a nested pageflow

Page Flow and Java Control interaction

Hi everybody !
Even after to read some documents like

and
http://dev2dev.bea.com/pub/a/2004/01/jones.html
i still didn't get what is really happening "behind the scenes" between Page Flows and Java Controls (Workshop 8.1). I would be glad if anyone could send to me more detailed documentation or explanation about this subject.
How can a Java Control to stand behind a Stateless Session Bean (GenericStatelessSLSB) and still to keep its internal state (instance variables) consistent ? How can a statefull Java Control to remain statefull being accessed by a stateless component (the EJB) ? Or is the source code of a Java Control (the JCS file) kept by the Page Flow and sent to EJB for its execution ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Daniel
I have attached a doc I created that explains what happens behind the scenes
when a pageflow call a JCS va a JWS calling a JCS.
Can you please go through the document and let me know any questions you may
have?

Page Flow db vs java Control db access

I am a real newbie here and I wanted to ask some design questions.
Primarily, I am designing a page flow that hits a backend server. Users fill out
forms, and it updates what they are doing.
Should I have the db control directly in the pageflow, or should I send the req
to a java control that then has the db control? The latter seems to me to be taking
redundant steps.
thanks,
m

It does, and it makes a LOT of sense. Thanks!!!

Hi Matt,
The BEA guys seem to be busy this week, but I think I can actually answer
this
question.
It sounds like you have a pretty basic web app, maybe even started from
the RowSet
Control wizard?
From my understanding of Model, View, Controller, struts and Workshop,
it sounds
like in your case you would probably want to use the control directly
in your
pageflow. Most likely you will get a RowSet out of your control for
a query and
then push that out to some type of tag that can work with it or some
variation
along those lines. If you need to perform significant business logic
on the
data before adding it to the database, or after retrieving it and before
presenting
it, then I think it would be a good idea to encapsulate that business
logic in
another class or control. Significant is a relative term I suppose,
but changing
a value from upper to lower case or something simple I'd probably just
handle
in the Controller or with a formatter tag. If you had to correlate information
from multiple rows, analyze it, create totals, and statistics, I would
probably
build a class to handle that logic so that the controller just made the
decision
on where to send results and where to send information collected.
I hope that helps,
Morgan

How to create a page-definition for bounded task-flow?

I should be able to create a page definition which declare all bindings required for a bounded task flow.
How do I do it in JDeveloper 11.1.1.2?
How do I navigate to the page definition when I am in the bounded task flow "Diagram tab"?

I found out the following:
1. To create a page-definition file for a bounded task flow
Right click on the "Default" activity (not a view activity) of the bounded task flow, select "Create Page Definition" from the context menu.
2. To go the page-definition file for a bounded task flow
Right click on the "Default" activity (not a view activity) of the bounded task flow, select "Go to Page Definition" from the context menu.
My new question is:
In JDeveloper 11.1.1.2, how do I create page-definition for a bounded-task-flow if all activities are view activities (page fragments) ?
How does JDeveloper I want to create page-definition for the task-flow instead of create page-definition of the page fragment or the page?

Best practice for java script placement on a BC page?

Hi guys just a general ask about where the best place for java script is on a BC page.
I just watched the this very good video on optimization http://bcgurus.com/tutorials/how-to-do-website-performance-optimization and in it it says how you should try and load the scripts at the bottom of the page so that it loads quicker.
now I want to do this but with it being a BC site i dont know if certain scripts have to be in the head of the doc. For instance the validate script I have? Does anyone know what I can and cant move from the head?
I was going to do what kiyuco like to practice and add all my scripts to a content holder and then add that to my pages/templates. Will BC like me adding this to the bottom of the page and not the head?
Thanks
