Mixing Non JSF and JSF components

Hi All,
I wanted to mix non jsf and jsf components and I able to do this
<f:verbatim>
<input type="radio" name="selectBidder" value="#{currentRow['BID_ID]}"/>
</f:verbatim>But the problem is bean value is not getting binded.
The rendered output is containing same string i.e.
value="#{currentRow['BID_ID]}"
How to bind bean value to non jsf component.
And No Javascript please
Thanks
Sudhakar

Basically I am trying to implement something like below
<h:dataTable binding="#{consumer$Select_Provider.dataTable1}" headerClass="list-header" id="dataTable1"
 rowClasses="list-row-even,list-row-odd" style="left: 48px; top: 48px; position: absolute"
 value="#{consumer$Select_Provider.dataTable1Model}" var="currentRow">
 <h:column binding="#{consumer$Select_Provider.column6}" id="column6">
 <h:outputText binding="#{consumer$Select_Provider.outputText11}" id="outputText11" value="#{currentRow['USER_LNAME']} #{currentRow['USER_FNAME']}"/>
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText binding="#{consumer$Select_Provider.outputText12}" id="outputText12" value="Bidder"/>
 </f:facet>
 </h:column>
 <h:column binding="#{consumer$Select_Provider.column1}" id="column1">
 <h:outputText binding="#{consumer$Select_Provider.outputText1}" id="outputText1" value="#{currentRow['BID_PRICE']}"/>
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText binding="#{consumer$Select_Provider.outputText2}" id="outputText2" value="Bid Price"/>
 </f:facet>
 </h:column>
 <h:column binding="#{consumer$Select_Provider.column3}" id="column3">
 <f:verbatim>
 <input name="selectBidder" type="radio" value="#{currentRow['BID_ID]}"/>
 </f:verbatim>
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText binding="#{consumer$Select_Provider.outputText6}" id="outputText6" value="Select Bidder"/>
 </f:facet>
 </h:column>
 </h:dataTable>Thanks

Working with Non JSF and JSF Pages

Hi ALL,
I wanted to know wheter it is possible or not
Here is scenario
I have 2 pages. First one is JSF Page and second one is JSP Page
I wanted to submit the JSF Page contents to JSP Page. Is it possible??
Below is by Navigation Rule for it where postJob is JSF and postJobDetails is JSP Page
<navigation-rule>
 <from-view-id>/consumer/postJob.jsp</from-view-id>
 <navigation-case>
 <from-outcome>postJobDetails</from-outcome>
 <to-view-id>/consumer/postjobDetails.jsp</to-view-id>
 </navigation-case>
 </navigation-rule>And in my button action I am doing like this
public String btnContinue_action()
 return "postJobDetails";
 }And I am not able to submit JSF contents to JSP Page.
Thanks

You should be able to do this with a HyperLink component.

Difference between jsf and jsf fragment

hi all,
now i am working with layout and menu framework.
our page have main menu and side menu then in the middle there is main area.
so far i use dynamic region and jsf fragment for main area.
because i can only use jsff in dynamic region. So when user click on main menu or side menu, i change dynamically in dynamic region.
So all of my functional pages become jsff.
is there any disadvantages for using like this?
is it anti design patterns?
With Regards,
WP

Hi,
I am having UI which includes 5 tabs.
The tabs present separate functionalities and are independent of each other.
I am not sure, whether to make 5 .jsff fragments and put them into one .jspx or make 5 different .jspx files.
Please comment on which approach to follow, or any general UI design guidelines to be looked into.
Thanks !

JSF and JSTL integration

Can anyone tell me how to access JSF objects from JSTL tags?
I want to set a requestScope flag in my changeListener
... context.getExternalContext().getRequestMap().put("xxx","ok"); ... and render output depending on existance of this flag:
...<c:if test="${requestScope.xxx!=null}" > .... .
This examplecode doesn't work, JSTL tags cannot access this var! How can I do that?
What I realy want is to reload another frame when user changed a specific input field.
Above code should add a JavaScript to reload the frame if this is true .
I can't do this on submit because the other framepage uses the stored/modified data.
Maybe there's a better approach for this anyway?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your help - I found it was my own mistake why it didn't work. Now it does, as you said.
But in the meentime I ran into another Problem mixing JSTL und JSF:
I want to build a SelectOneMenu and populate it with data from a database, but with selectItemValue
other than selectItemLabel (value should be numeric DB-ID, label a readable name).
Since "selectItems" allows only one dimensional Arrays (?) as parameter, I must use "selectItem" for
each row. So I wrote following code:
<h:selectOneMenu id="m1" value="#{worktime.employee}">
 <sql:query var="employees" dataSource="jdbc/WebOfficeDB">
 select oid,displayname from employees order by displayname asc
 </sql:query>
 <c:forEach var="row" items="${employees.rows}" >
 <f:selectItem itemValue="#{row.oid}" itemLabel="#{row.displayname}" />
 </c:forEach>
</h:selectOneMenu>This doesn't work, I get NullPointer Exceptions from selectItem.setValue().
I think because JSF "#" references another context than JSTL "$" - is this correct?
So I tried to set a JSTL variable inside the forEach loop to access the datarow
<c:set var="data" value="${row}" scope="request"/>
<f:selectItem itemValue="#{requestScope.data.oid}" itemLabel="#{requestScope.data.displayname}" />
...The effect is that all lines of the selectOneMenu have the same content (from the last datarecord)!?
Since this is my first project in JSTL and JSF and should stay a small one I don't want to go into building
CustomComponents and so on for such a simple Task.
I would be very very happy for some tips and hints, since I think this mixing of JSTL and JSF Context
will be a very common problem within my project.
Thanks

Problems working with non drop and drop frame DVCPRO HD material in project

I am having playback problems with my non drop frame HDV material. It stutters.
All of our projects up to this point have been shot in drop frame. During our last shoot however the Bcam was recorded in non drop. I loaded both the non drop bcam tapes as non drop and the drop frame Acam tapes as drop. All of the drop frame Acam material plays back fine in the source viewer and the timeline. The non drop Bcam material seems to randomly stutter in the source viewer, or causes the system to serve a "dropped frames warning" in the timeline.
Is there a bug with fcp 5.1.2 about mixing non drop and drop frame material in a project. Or is this not possible? They are the same frame rate.
I have exported the non drop clips in a drop frame timeline and re-imported them as drop frame clips - thus correcting the problem. Is this the best solution?
All of the material was loaded thru a kona card as 1080i60 DVCPROHD 29.97
I had no problems capturing the material as long as I used the corrrect firewire setting (ndf vs df).
Anyone have a problem like this? I would greatly appreciate a response.
Thanks,
Mark

http://bssc.sel.sony.com/BroadcastandBusiness/DisplayModel?m=10014&p=2&sp=141&id =78439
The camera can record 60i, and 30F:
"HDV 1080, 50i/60i/30F/25F Recording and Playback capable"
Look at the clips...look at their frame rates. What do they say? Is one 59.94? Is the other 29.97?
You would never need to render if you mixed NDF and DF footage. The footage runs at the same speed, on the TC numbers are different. But, you would need to render if your footage had different frame rates. LOOK AT THE CLIPS.

Mixing HTML and JSF or better pure JSF Tags?

I'm relatively new to JSF, but i can say, i work with all the Web Standards in HTML and CSS.
So the HTML Render Results of JSF may not fit into a Web Developers Dreams of perfect HTML/CSS.
An Option i see is to use HTML and put only the dynamic parts in there as JSF Components.
What are the Pro's and Con's using HTML?
some stuff i can image:
Using pure JSF:
- May many components have impact to the performance?
- Mixed with HTML: What if the application should be rendered to another client pc (e.g. Mobile)?
What are your experiences?

The one downfall of mixing html with jsf, unless you use the f:verbatim tag, that the page is not properly represented in the component tree. Also depending on certain technologies you use (when I used ajax4jsf it worked this way) that the jsf component tree was rendered and then all the html was rendered at the end. This caused html tags and text that I had inside a jsf tag to be improperly displayed.
This though was the case when I was originally using jsf 1.1, so it may have been improved in later editions, but since I have become accustomed to writing the entire page in jsf tags I have not really tested that limit in the current version.

Building JSF 1.2 Custom Components with EL and standard components

Hi all,
I have built custom components in jsf 1.1 with great success but i am finding replicating the same functionality in jsf 1.2 very difficult. I have some conditions for my new custom component.
- Using jsf 1.2
- Must use unified EL, i am using a UIComponentELTag
- iam using jsf standard html components from javax.faces.component.html here in particular i wont HtmlCommandLink.
Essentially i am constructing a real time command menu. I have a backing bean from which i get command names and descriptions values. I wont to then in real time construct a table of links (using HtmlCommandLink) - all this work is to be processed by a custom component. Basically the commandLink issues a command in my backing bean, a parameter (param) is passed with the commandLink, this is later picked up in the backing bean method.
I can generate the table, and all the HtmlCommandLinks, i have simply looped throught and encoded each of them.
What i can do: i can see the table and the HtmlCommandLinks, but the links dont perform any action when i press them.
What i want help with:
I want to encode a HtmlCommandLink in my custom component with a param, traditionally i would set the action but this is now deprecated, and i need to use the setActionExpression method. I have tried to do this but the actions are note fired its simply doesnt function.
Note:
In jsf 1.1 I use to loop through all the HtmlCommandLink and peform their processDecodes method within my custom components very own processDecodes. The same in jsf 1.2 doesnt seem to yield any results.
Can someone give be an example or solution to this? I have read articles on the net and they seem to all discuss jsf 1.1 which i have done and it works, but i am using unifed EL and jsf 1.2 now.
Many Thanks,
Kev

Facelets and jsf-extensions problem.

I'm fairly certain I've run into a problem between facelets and jsf-extensions. I'm working with JSF 1.2 RI, Woodstock, Facelets 1.1.13, on Tomcat 6.
When trying to get Woodstock autoValidation to work I get a javascript error the "I has no properties". The error occurs in the com_sun_faces_ajax.js file in the jsf-extensions-dynamic-faces-0.1.jar (I've used both the RC4 and a build today ,10/18/07 from source with the same results). Here is the code snippet where it happens (with my comment).
var I = G.getElementsByTagName("components")[0];
var C = I.getElementsByTagName("render");
for(var F = 0; F < C.length; F++) {
In the second line there it looks like the variable I is null, but based on the post response below I don't know why.
The response from the post looks like this:
<partial-response><components><render id="PayableForm:vendorGci"><markup><![CDATA[{"valid":true,"id":"PayableForm:vendorGci"}]]></markup></render></components>
However the server side code (validation method) never gets executed. I'm willing to do some digging and debug work, but I'd need to be pointed in the right direction.
The following is more potentially useful code snippets.
Here is the textField code:
<w:form id="PayableForm">
<w:textField style="display:none;" />
<w:message for="vendorGci" />
<w:label id="vendorGciLabel" for="vendorGci" text="Vendor: " />
<w:textField id="vendorGci" autoValidate="true"
text="${vendorBean.searchGci}" maxlength="8" required="true"
validatorExpression="#{ vendorBean.validateVendor}" />
Here is the javascript in the page (the init function is called from the body: onLoad="setTimeout('init();', 0);" , this does happen):
<w:script type="text/javascript">
function VendorListener(){
function VendorNotify(props){
alert("VendorNotify called!"); <--------------- I never see this alert message
if ( props.id != "PayableForm:vendorGci") { return; }
var field = document.getElementById("PayableForm:vendorGciLabel");
field.setProps({
valid: props.valid
VendorListener.prototype.notify = VendorNotify;
function initAccountRows(){
var table = document.getElementById("PayableForm:vendorAccountTable");
table.initAllRows();
function init(){
initAccountRows();
var listener = new VendorListener();
dojo.subscribe(
webui.suntheme.widget.textField.event.validation.endTopic ,
listener, listener.notify);
Here is the validator method. It currently doesn't do anything, just trying to get something to work. I never see the output, and I never hit the breakpoint in the method.
public void validateVendor(FacesContext context, UIComponent comp, Object value){
System.out.println("**********************************");
System.out.println("validateVendor called");
System.out.println(value);
System.out.println("**********************************");
}

Actually I don't need a global variable. I need to refer in my included template the actual backing bean used in the current page. As all my backing bean extends a abstract class I could bind my component to a property of the current backing bean, no matters which one. Just like a polymorphic call but without the parameter. Let's imagine I could get this object of the facesContext object I would be able to do:
<rich:datascroller renderIfSinglePage="false" align="right" for="listagem" maxPages="12" fastStep="10"
pageIndexVar="pageIndex" pagesVar="pages" stepControls="show" fastControls="hide" boundaryControls="show"
inactiveStyleClass="paginacaoInativa" selectedStyleClass="paginacaoSelecionada"
styleClass="paginacao" tableStyleClass="paginacaoTabela"
binding="#{facesContext.currentBackingbean.formDataScroller}" id="paginacao">
Instead of pass the backing bean to the ui:param of this template... Dou you get the point?

What's the difference between jsp and jsf?

who can tell me what's the difference between jsp and jsf?
I'm puzzled when I found some of the technology in jsp is so similar to the ones in jsp( javaserver page)

Hi,
Find the difference between JSP and JSF
1. A developer has more control with JSP, but (should) get easier development with JSF
2. Event handling is done differently in JSP (HTTP) and JSF (Java)
3. The UI is designed differently (or should be at least) with JSP (markup) and JSF (components).
4. The end product should also be defined differently - JSP page versus a JSF application.
Is this the only thing that is need to make a decision for either or? Probably not. There are other pieces that need to be taken in account when deciding which technology to use - tools support, enough components, type of application etc.... At this point there are not enough JSF components (although there are some interesting projects underway - Ajaxfaces, Myfaces, ADF Faces, and WebChart 3d) and enterprise tools support is still limited to a few tools vendor. Looking at our ADF Faces components they are currently available as early access (not production) and demands for these components are stacking up, literally, outside my office doorstep. Although I would love to make them production - now! - it is not a viable solution since we are still checking features and fixing critical bugs.
All this combined - not enough enterprise level components in production, lacking tools support etc... - leave customers in a vacuum where the decision is either to continue with JSP, since it is mature and has a wide developer base, or move forward with JSF not sure if the support, or the developers will be there. This is particularly sensitive to customers that need to get started now and be production by summer.
If you are in this vacuum here are some key points promoting JSF:
1. Fundamental unit is the Component
2. Built in event and state management
3. Component sets can be provided by any vendor
4. Closer to ASP.Net or Swing development
5. Choice of UI technology
6. Scale up (rich clients)
7. Scale down (mobile devices)
8. Built into J2EE containers in J2EE 5.0 (tentative)

Using JSF and JavaMail to send Automated Email

Hi All,
Can any one please suggest I can use JSF and JavaMail to send automated email messages i.e after a person has successfully completed a form , a message is sent to his/her email address confirming that he has succesfully registered or completed a form. I have succesfull implemeted the use of javamail for sending email meassages in a JSF web application but cant seem to figure out how i can achieve automated sending of emails in JSF. Please any ideas, tutorials or source code would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

I don't understand your problem:
You have already been able to send e-mails from a JSF webapplication, but you are not capable of sending e-mails from a JSF webapplication?!
Automated sending of e-mails will be exactly the same as non-automated.

Struts and JSF Integration in OPDk-java based portlet

Hi,
thanks in advance for your help.
I'm developing a PDK java based portlet. For some reasons I cannot use the JSF bridge but I would like to integrate Struts and Jsf in my portlet, using Struts to manage actions and navigation and JSF (with ADF Faces components) for the view. I'm using the Strus-Faces library.
When I try to submit my portlet form, I receive the error "request URL not found on this server". I'm posting some exstracts of my code.
It's made of three pages: the main one "Integration1ShowPage", "error" and "result". The MainAction.java displays my mainPage, where there's a form. To keep it easy, when the user submits this form, the ActionName returns "success" and the "result" page should be displayed.
The MainAction works properly: the portlet is displayed but when I tried to submit the form I receive
The requested URL /provaDeploy/htdocs/integration1/integration1ShowPage.do was not found on this server.Could you please suggest me something?
Many many thanks,
B.

JAVASCRIPT AND JSF PROBLEM REFRESHING PAGE PROBLEM

Hello everyone, I am currently using visual JSF and javascript to to disable a fileupload component when a radio button is clicked. I don't have any problems getting it to work if I need to disable a button, a textfield or other visual JSF components. For some reason, i can't disable the fileupload component and I get this error when the JAVASCRIPT is called:
Error: document.getElementById("form1:fileUpload1").refresh is not a function
Source File: http://localhost:8080/TestSingleEvent/theme/com/sun/webui/jsf/suntheme4_2-080320/javascript/webui.js
Line: 22
My javascript code is the following:
document.getElementById("form1:fileUpload1").refresh("form1:radioButton1");return false;
I would appreciate some help here. Why is it that when I replace the fileUpload with i.e a textfield i don't get errors..
Is it something to do with the webui.js ?
Many thanks.

There is no such thing as refresh() in the [DOM element|http://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/element]. How did you come to this? Did you a wild guess in the around without reading the docs? Don't do that.
What exactly do you want to achieve? Reset its value? Then set the 'value' property to null. Disable the element? Then set the 'disabled' property to true.
I've been helpful enough with this offtopic question. If you still stucks, please continue at a Javascript oriented forum. There's one at under each webdeveloper.com.

JSP, JSF, and ADF

I've just started playing around with this and was looking for samples/tutorials to help. Of the tutorials/samples I've seen, they appear to fall short of explaining an end-end example and stick mostly to JSF and the backing bean - usually displaying static data within a JSP and navigation. I'm a bit confused on how to call custom methods in my business services (application modules) and in turn use the view objects to fetch data from my database and display the results within a JSP using the JSF components.
I realize the latest preview JDeveloper is without ADF but while I had time I was hoping to play around with ADF Faces to hit my development database. Guess I'm trying to make sense of how JSP, JSF, Business components, and my db connection all play together in order to set up a decent starting point for an app.

You could use Jdeveloper 10G and play around with ADF Faces, look at the demos, and the sources behind them.
There are a couple of papers on OTN like...
Working with ADF Faces in JDev 10g:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/10g/adfjsf/how-to-adf-faces-10gjdev.htm
Roadmap for ADF Faces:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/papers/9.0.5.0/adfuix_roadmap/adfuix_roadmap.html
And many more... as I could find upon search...
http://www.oracle.com/ultrasearch/wwws_otn/searchotn.jsp?p_Action=Search&p_Query=adf+faces
The visual editing support for 'The ADF Model access through ADF Faces bindings' is under development (hence no tutorials), and will be available in future release (could be post 10G release).

BlazeDS and JSF

I have an existing JSF (really Oracle ADF) application that I'd like to connect to a Flex front-end rather than rewrite totally in Flex + JSPs for the back-end. BlazeDS will properly instantiate the managed beans through remote object requests, but the FacesContext references in my managed beans are null, as BlazeDS seems to have nothing to do with this context. Does anyone have experience connecting a Flex application to a JSF application properly, maybe through creating his/her own FacesContext factory?

[ANNOUNCE] Exadel's Max Katz talks about JSF and AJAX

Hello,
I'm pleased to announce that JSF Central has just published an interview with Exadel senior systems engineer Max Katz. In the interview, Max talks about the key value and benefits of JSF, how it compares to other frameworks, why it is such a good fit for AJAX, and support for JSF technology at Exadel.
Here's a quote:
KM: What do you think is the key value of JSF?
MK: It's definitely the component-based approach to building web applications, and that it's a standard. JSF has introduced a new paradigm to web application development�building applications out of components. It allows developers to concentrate on application business logic rather than on little details of HTML and other plumbing that is common to all web applications.
Being a standard is very important for the community, and it helps vendors like Exadel create advanced visual tools. The component-based approach also gave rise to vendors building web components, which also benefits developers. Instead of spending two weeks on integrating a calendar feature into your application, you can now get a calendar component and concentrate on the business problem you're trying to solve.
KM: Let's talk about AJAX for a moment. What do you think makes JSF such a good fit for AJAX?
MK: It's the component approach that makes AJAX such a good fit for JSF. You develop your application out of JSF components that provide AJAX functionality. This approach hides all the complexity of JavaScript and XML. Developers don't need to work with error-prone JavaScript making sure it works in all browsers. The AJAX JSF components are tested, ready-to-use components. From the developer perspective, there is really no difference between using the commandButton standard component and using the JSF AJAX drag-and-drop components. The AJAX component is simply a lot more sophisticated in what it does. You can add AJAX functionality in a matter of minutes by using such components. It's very powerful.
