Modification to Pending Value Object
Hi,
we have defined an Add Member Task for all Privileges, so that a Pending Value Object (PVO) is created and an approval step can be performed.
Within the approval step we would like the user to add additional information (a reference to an MX_PERSON object). However, when the user adds such an attribute value in the approval window, the attribute value is not written to the database.
Is it possible that a PVO cannot be modified within an approval step? Is there any workaround to this behaviour?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards
Holger
Hi Dominik,
thanks for the hint - I was already considering to use a custom PVO, but so far I haven't found an easy way to implement this when only requesting new privileges or roles.
I can see two alternatives in using a custom PVO:
1. We still have the Add Member Task defined on the privilege. When a privilege is requested, I get a standard PVO. I would then have to start/create my custom PVO and perform the approval. The problem with that solution is that I need to make sure that the standard PVO Ordered Task Group is waiting for the completion of my custom PVO. So we would need to perform a tricky synchronization between the tasks.
2. We do not have an Add Member Task. In this case we need to make sure that the provisioning is not immediately started once the user has pressed the Submit button. So I would need to make sure that we do not use the MX_PRIVILEGE attribute on the interface, but rather another temporary attribute that shows all the available privileges. In that case I would lose some of the functionality when searching for privileges and showing the user's current privileges is not that easy.
Did you also implement requesting additional privileges with custom PVOs?
Best regards
Holger

Authorization Issue with Custom Pending Value Object and Anonymous Users
Hi,
I am just converting my demo from version 7.1 to 7.2. I am not doing upgrade. The demo uses a custom pending value object USER_REQUEST. The idea is that new employee goes to Java AS as anonymous user and enters her details and store where she will work. After submitting request there is an approval process using custom entry type USER_REQUEST. If the request is approved then IdM converts USER_REQUEST into MX_PERSON entry. This works nice in 7.1 but I am having problems with replicating this in 7.2. I created new UI task accessible by anonymous that creates new USER_REQUEST entry. I also assigned role idm.anonymous with UME action idm_anonymous to UME built in group Anonymous users.
My problem is with the field STORE. This field is a reference field to another custom entry type STORE (this entry type will be used in context based assignment). Every new employee must selects a store where she will work. The problem is when user clicks on button "Select". Web dynpro terminates and returns authorization error. I also tested this with entry type MX_ROLE. I added attribute MXREF_MX_ROLE and same issue. So it seems that just assigning UME action idm_anonymous is not enough to list objects from identity store. I found a workaround for this issue. When I assign also UME action idm_authenticated to Anonymous users then it does not dump and I get a pop up window where I can search for store. It does not seem right to assign idm_authenticated to anonymous users.
Another issue is with display task for entry type USER_REQUEST. I assigned a display task to entry STORE and I set that Anonymous have access to this task in Access control tab. I assigned default value to the field store. So when a user opens page she can see a hyper link to display already assigned store. When user clicks on this hyper link it opens a new pop up window and user must authenticate against Java AS. After successful authentication the display task for entry STORE is displayed. I would assume that anonymous user can display it without authentication.
So to me it seems like authorization checks have been changed in 7.2 versions and are more strict for anonymous tasks. Hence my question is how can I implement my scenario. Am I missing some configuration or what's the proper solution to my two issues? I don't count assigning idm_authenticated to Anonymous users as a solution. This workaround does not solve my second issue.
ThanksSome of the folks from Trondheim labs check, but rather infrequently. There's another person who I guess is in consulting that also checks from time to time.
Sorry I can't help you with your main question...

How to detect modifications in an ABAP Object?
Hi all,
I was wondering if there's a simple way of detecting modifications in an ABAP Object.
Imagine an ABAP entity object which holds several attributes and you need to know if this object has been modified. Instead of having to check attribute by attribute to compare it's previous value with the new one I came with the idea of calculating a HASH code for the object before the execution of the application which can change the object attributes and comparing it with the HASH calculated for the same object after the execution.
That way, checking only two hashes simplifies a lot the code. So.... is there any way of calculating a HASH for any object instance? if not... any other approach?
Thanks in advance.Sorry Hüseyin Dereli, but I'm not talking about source version control, but how to detect attribute modifications of an ABAP Object Instance.
for example, suppose you have a program which reads data from DataBase and stores temporally that data into an ABAP Object like this:
ABAP Object AAAA{
private attr1
private attr2
and passes this ABAP Object into a screen for user interaction, or even a FunctionModule or Method or anything else...
data: myObject type ref to AAAA.
myObject-attr1 = 1
myObject-attr2 = 2.
CallFunction AnyFunction Changing data = myObject
After the execution of AnyFunction I would like to know if myObject has been changed but I'm trying not to check attribute by attribute because if myObject has a lot of attributes (not in this example but in the real source code)
It would be great if we could do something like this:
data: myObject type ref to AAAA,
oldHash type hash,
newHash type hash.
myObject-attr1 = 1
myObject-attr2 = 2.
oldHash = myObject->get_hash()
CallFunction AnyFunction Changing data = myObject
newHash = myObject->get_hash()
if oldHash NE newHash.
* MyObject has been modified
endif. -
Passing "Value Objects" from one JSP to next (2)
Someone posted a response from BEA which has since disappeared, it was no different
from what I was doing and it I still can't get it to store the information in
the Value Object.
I get values (true/false) from a Radio button on a FORM in a JSP, press a "Next
Step" Button.
I have a "Value Object" in JSP_1, which I use the setters to store various information
obtained from the <FORM>. I then "jsp:forward" to JSP_2, set different information
and then I "jsp:forward" to JSP_3 & so on. At the end of the JSP chain only the
last setter is has the value "true", all the other values are false, despite all
being "set" to "true".
The "Value Object" is not storing the information set in previous JSPs. When I
initially create the "value object" I use;
<jsp:useBean id="myVO" class="uk.co.notify.valueobjects.MyVO" scope="request"
/>
<jsp:setProperty name="myVO" property="*"/>
In JSP_2 JSP999 I don't use <jsp:setProperty> I let the setter in the VO do
it.
I am using WebLogic 6.1 sp2 under Windows 2K Pro.
Any pointers. Thanks.
[att1.html]
Ok. here's the difference.
Hitting submit is altogether a different "new" http request. It will send a
new request from your browser to the server. Whereas, the jsp:forward is
within the server itself.
So the VO object whose scope is set to "request" will not retain its values
between 2 http request.
For such kind of parameter passing, you could very well store the info. in
user's session object.
I hope this helps.

Dynamically create Value Objects from XML file
Hi
I want to create a value object from Xml file dynamically,like in the xml file i have the name of the variable and the datatype of the variable.is it possible do that,if so how.Read about apache's Digester tool. This is part of the Jakartha project. This tool helps in creating java objects from the XML files. I am not sure, if that is what u r looking for.

Best Practice Question - Business Logic in Value Objects?
Just wondering what people's thoughts on best practices for setting properties of Value Objects.
For instance, I have several getter/setters in one of my Value Objects with logic in the setter that uses the value to set values of other properties.
For example, I have a Value Object that has the following properties:
category (of type Category, which is another Value Object with properties "name" and "id")
categoryId (of type int)
categoryUpdated (of type Boolean)
I have a collection of Category Objects in the Model. When I set the categoryId of this class, I set the "categoryUpdated" to true, and dispatch an CairngormEvent to that find the "category" with the specified "categoryId" and set the "category" property to this item.
So what is the best practice? To simply make the "categoryId" a public variable, and create a new Event/Command to perform all this logic? Or is it ok to do it all in the Value Object setter?
Thanks.Hi Eric,
I can't speak for best practices, but the only logic I've ever added to a VO were getters: an example was a set of getters on an airline flight VO to get overall flight departure/arrival times/cities from an array of flight segments in a property of the VO.
I feel uneasy (in the nicest possible way) about your VO for two reasons: firstly it has a strong dependency on bits of the Cairngorm framework to look up the category (and VOs normally don't need to depend on anything), and secondly the intent of Commands in Cairngorm is more to represent user gestures than to wire up VO properties (I often see people shoehorning stuff into Commands that might be better of as plain old business utility classes). I would rather see an UpdateCategoryCommand (that's what the user is trying to do?) that updates categoryId and hits a delegate to populate the category property.
That said you might have a very good reason for doing this. Could you tell us where the code is that's setting categoryId, and if anything is using categoryUpdated?
Cheers,
Robin -
Need help regarding Value Object Concept in flex/java
I need to map the java objects to flex use value objects in flex.
The problem is I have a class in java which is referring to another class and again that class referring another class.
For instance
Class A
protected User user;
Class User
protected Address address;
Now I need to map class A to the flex using value object concept and I have to display the user info in the grid as well.
Need some help to get started.You need to set the "scope" property in your remoting destination definition to "session" or "application".

Mapping Value Objects to Java Classes
Hi All,
I have one Java Class:
public class MyBean {
private ArrayList numbers;
I have created one mapping value object for the same in Flex:
package vo
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
[RemoteClass(alias="com.tcs.example.MyBean")]
public class MyBean
public function MyBean()
public var numbers:ArrayCollection;
but when I fetch the object using Remote Object, the returned object has "numbers" as null even though I'm returning from Java a filled ArrayList.
Does any one know Why is it happening and what should I do for this.
Thanks in advanceDo you have getNumbers and setNumbers methods on your java bean?

How to create value objects from xml
I am receiving xml back from my web service ( e4x ). I am
trying to figure out how to create a value object without having to
manually fetch each value in the value objects constructor. I am
using introspecton in my Java web service to do this. Is there such
a thing in Action Script?
Anyone done this before that can share some code???? Any help
would be very much appreciated.That's twice now I've heard that. lol.
I am using Cairngorm and I suppose out of ignorance perhaps,
I am using VO's. So my web service would return an Object Proxy and
I have some code that could create objects dynamically from the
results. The objects had to be simple of course and now they are
becoming more complex thus the need to change to e4x instead of
objects.
So now I am trying to convert the xml result into the desired
VO to be used throughout the rest of the application. I'm not sure
how to use Cairngorm without the VO's they are tied to everything.

Java Object won't serialize to Value Object
I downloaded the blazeds-turnkey-3.2.0.3978.zip. Using Eclipse I created the testdrive-update flex project and copied the source code from the flex-src.zip and also from the C:\BlazeDS\tomcat\webapps\samples directory. After using the C:\BlazeDS\sampledb>startdb.bat to start the database, I can run the "testdrive-update" sample just fine from with in Eclipse. If I use the Flex Debugging perspective to look at what the srv.getProducts.lastResult returns, I can see that the Product.java was converted to the Product.as value object as seen in the next picture...
I modified the testdrive-update to run a select againt a parts table in one of my databases. I modified the Product.java and Product.as to match the simple parts list that I am returning from the ProductService.Java. When I run the code, it returns the parts. But, in debug mode I noticed that it is not using my value object when the data is passed back to the flex app. The data is stored as basic objects in an ArrayCollection as seen in the picture below.
Why does it not use my Value Object?
I have tried a few different things and can't get the data to come back as Value Objects...
Here is my code....

return list;Hi, More info.. I built a new object from within the target doc and the same trouble is happening to the new object now too. All the other layers in the doc respond to keyframe changes. This new and only 3D object is behaving in the exact same fashion as the previous one. I tried to shift the order of the layers and no change. Here is a screen shot of the3D object and it's "ghost". with timeline screen shot too. This is truly baffling!! Any ideas? Anyone else with a similar experience? Is it something else in the doc that is interfering? I could not find any other threads with this problem. thanks for ANY help you can offer.

Problem in setting vector or string[] as the "value object" in hashmap
Hey I am new to this forum.
I am doing a project in which i need to store a array of strings as "value object" for a unique key in hashmap.
as I populate the hashmap from external file according to key and setting the string[]. The hashmap is taking the value field same for each entry i.e the last field as i keep updating the same variable and then putting it into hashmap.
Please give solution to my problem???
if question not clear,please tell me- i will add more information
Edited by: AnkitNahar on Apr 4, 2009 8:06 AMI tried using the method suggested by you...but it is of same case as using the string[].
I need to loop the statements in which the hashmap is populating so cant change the variable names in the dd.put() statements. When the below code executes it shows the same set of string for both the keys, that was the problem i was facing with string[].
here is the example with two entries....same thing in looping.
HashMap<String,Set<String>> dd=new HashMap<String,Set<String>>();
String word = "Hello";
Set<String> alternativeWords = new HashSet<String>();
alternativeWords.add("Hi");
alternativeWords.add("Yo");
dd.put(word, alternativeWords);
alternativeWords.clear();
alternativeWords.add("hey");
word="yep";
dd.put(word,alternativeWords);
System.out.println(dd.get("Hello").toString());
System.out.println(dd.get("yep").toString()); -
Dynamic value objects in flex and coldfusion 9
I'm writing a program for a company that does registrations for conventions and trade-shows. The problem I'm having is that each different client wants to store different data for each show. Most of the data is the same (attendee's name, address, etc...), but each show has some customizations that it wants to have... So each database for each show is going to be different...
Right now, the only way I know how to transfer data from Flex to ColdFusion is via a Value Object. (Well, the only good way to do it, that is.) My problem comes when a client wants a particular database customized. I have MANY questions about this...
1) How do I tell my Value Object what fields we've added to or changed in the database without re-writing the entire VO (in both the .AS and .CFC files) and re-compiling my program? In other words, I need a dynamic VO that changes automatcially with the database.
2) If there is a way to dynamically create a VO in Flex (and from a few blog posts I've seen, it seems there is a way), how do I tell CF9 what the structure of that dynamically-created VO is? Without re-writing a bunch of .CFC files every time I add or change a field in the database, that is...
3) How do I reference the dynamically-created fields in my Flex program? Right now, for example, I can define a variable called attendeeInfo as type attendeeInfoVO, and then reference things like attendeeInfo.first_name, attendeeInfo.last_name, etc... How do I reference a field programmatcially when I don't know what it's going to be called beforehand?
4) How do I make my program display/modify those dynamically-created fields? Right now, using the attendeeInfo example above, I can create a TextInput with an id="firstNameInput" and just say firstNameInput.text = "{attendeeInfo.first_name}". That won't work when I have no clue how many dynamically-created fields there are, or even what kind of data they're going to store... How do I deal with this?
5) Is there something other than VOs that would fit this situation better? Am I limiting myself by using VOs in the first place? Is it just plain impossible to do this with VOs? And if so, what are my alternatives? I need a structured object that can be passed around with a single reference -- I absolutely DO NOT want to pass a bunch of references to a bunch of different variables -- that's why I used VOs from the very beginning.
6) Can I simply PAY someone at Adobe for one-on-one help here? Do they have experts that you can "buy" for a few hours? What's the charge for that, if such a thing is available? Or, is this problem well-explained somewhere on the Web, and I just haven't found it yet?
I'm very confused here, and it seems like I might have to re-write a ton of code, which I'm not looking forward to... Ugh... I appreciate any help you can give me...
Thanks,
Laurence MacNeill
Mableton, Georgia, USAThis blog post is pretty close to what I want:
http://justinjmoses.wordpress.com/2008/10/10/flex-dynamic-bindable-value-objects/
So there are the dynamic value objects I was looking for. But the blog-poster is using LINQ and .Net 3.5. I'm using ColdFusion9.
So, how do I get ColdFusion9 to deal with that? How do you get CF9 to recognize the fact that you've changed the VO, and deal with it appropriately?
Thanks,

Business Objects, Value Objects and more
Hey,
I've got a general question about business objects (aka entity objects or data transfer objects). The scenario I am using is not one of my own, but it might be a future one. Thus, I'd really appreciate all feedback.
Let's say that i've got a desktop application which purpose is to manage personal DVD collections. Shortly explained, what i would do here is to create a class Dvd to represent a physical DVD. Then i would create the classes DvdServices and DvdDao. The DvdServices class is what my application will use to retrive and store Dvd instances, and takes care of all session and transaction handling. The DvdDao class is where all database communication takes place. This class will only be used by the DvdServices class.
Now, say that i would want to keep things simple and use the same business object both in the front end and the back end (yes, i'm using Hibernate). That is, the Dvd instances returned by the DvdServices class is the ones i also would like to use in my GUI. This is where i start to get a little uncertain about best practice.
Let us say that i use an instance of a Dvd to present some information about a dvd to the user. However, the user would not only like to see what's already stored about that dvd - but also edit some details related to it (such as the title, description or the like). What i would do here (to support editing), is to modify the Dvd class so that it holds a DvdAttributes object which contains all its editable values like title and description (in other words, the state - except for the id and a timestamp value). Thus, i also modify the DvdServices class and create a method called updateDvd(Dvd dvd, DvdAttributes attributes). The method updateDvd() in the DvdServices class, internally, makes a reference to the existing DvdAttributes, applies the new DvdAttributes to the Dvd instance, and tries to save it. If something goes wrong, transaction is rolled back, and the old DvdAttributes are applied to the Dvd class in order to reflect the state of the Dvd instance.I like to think of the Dvd instance as the business object, and the DvdAttributes instance as a related value object (the terminology is probably all wrong here?).
My question regarding all this is wether it "adheres" to what one might consider as "best practices" (if something like that exists in relation to this)? Could i do things smarter in this case? Is there something which does not make sense (always good to hear a second opinion!).
All feedback appreciated!sbrattla wrote:

I don't believe a DTO would ever be considered a business object.
Let's say that i've got a desktop application which purpose is to manage personal DVD collections. Shortly explained, what i would do here is to create a class Dvd to represent a physical DVD. Then i would create the classes DvdServices and DvdDao.

That is, the Dvd instances returned by the DvdServices class is the ones i also would like to use in my GUI. This is where i start to get a little uncertain about best practice.
It appears that 'Dvd' is in fact a DTO. Probably best to name it as such - DvdDto.
Let us say that i use an instance of a Dvd to present some information about a dvd to the user. However, the user would not only like to see what's already stored about that dvd - but also edit some details related to it (such as the title, description or the like). What i would do here (to support editing), is to modify the Dvd class so that it holds a DvdAttributes object which contains all its editable values like title and description (in other words, the state - except for the id and a timestamp value).

As stated no.
Process flow would normally be like this.
Happy path (it worked)
1. Query - returns DvdDto
2. GUI - display DvdDto
3. Modify DvdDto
4. Update (send to server/backend) DvdDto
5. (Return - It worked.)
Sad path (it failed)
1. Query - returns DvdDto
2. GUI - display DvdDto
3. Modify DvdDto
4. Update (send to server/backend) DvdDto
5. Exception is thrown
6. (Return - It failed)
Step 6 is a bit ambigous because it depends on the user and the actual client/server relationship. It could be an exception, a message or just true/false (false is failed.)
In the above there is no step that corrects or alters the DvdDto instance that was thrown. One reason for this is that it might be a minot mistake on the users part and if you destroy everything they alread typed in they are not going to be happy. -
Are there any shortcuts for creating Value Object Classes?
Hi,
I'm using a Remote Object to connect to my server
(pyAMF/Django). I'm getting stuck with the creation of Value Object
Classes. It doesn't seem very DRY to have a class on my server
representing the data model and then have to recreate that class
and all its properties in my Flex app.
Are there any shortcuts for creating client side VOs from
server side data?
I was thinking about declaring an empty VO class in Flex, and
then dynamically assigning/casting my Proxy object to that class.
It seems like that approach may cause problems for the Flex
compiler though.
Any hints?
Thanks!quote:

One thing that has helped me in that area is a free tool from
Farata Systems called
DTO2Fx. If you're using Java and Eclipse, it's a great time saver.
You simply install a (very lightweight) Eclipse plugin, add a
single annotation to your Java VO classes, and it automatically
generates your Flex VOs. It even creates a base and extended
version of each VO on the AS3 side so you can add code to the
extended VO without fear of having your changes overwritten when it
regenerates your Flex VOs.
