Need call a method of one iview from another iview

Hi,
There are 2 iviews in a component.
1) FirstView - contains abc() method & xyz() methods
2) SecondView (a popup) - asdf() method
i want to call abc() method from asdf() method. i.e. i want to call a method of the firstview from the secondview.
Note:
1) i couldn't able to copy the code of abc() method to component controller, as it has the code which uses (iview) local attributes (this can be done by context mapping) & main reason is from the method it calls the xyz() method of the same view (again i couldn't call a method of iview from component controller).
2) firstView contain 5 tabs, i want to be in the same tab from which secondview (popup) was called, if i use fire plugs between both view, the current tab will be chnaged (i suppose, not sure).
3) can we use event handlers, if yes how can we do that.
Please provide a better solution for calling a method of view from another view.
Thanks
Maha

Hi Maha,
It is better to have such methods in the component controller to make it reusable and avoid writing same code again and again.
You can have that method in component controller and call that method on click on a button from Iview1 and can pass the parameters in the mthgod only.
for example.
Say Method abc() which is currently in Iview1 and you are passing values from context say aa bb cc to the method now what i am suggesting is
have that method abc(String aa, String bb, String cc) ;
and call it on click on button in Iview1 and pass the required parameters.
Hope this will help

JSP two has some method that, say, find the square root of the number passed from JPS one.
How to - when click - the button on page one call the method on page two?
Please note that I can not use object binding, but I want passing the actual parameter and call the method on page two.

Can I Call method on one JVM from another through a dll?

Let me explain.
I have this java jar file that I can only have one instance of running at any given time. I'm using a shared data segment in a dll to store a bool indicating whether the program is already running or not. If it's already running, I have to not run the second instance and give focus to the current running instance.
The jar file calls a native method "canInstantiate()" on a dll to see if there's already an app running. If there isn't, the env and obj are stored in the shared data segment of the dll and we return true. If there is already an instance of the program running, I want canInstantiate call a function on the current instance of the jar (like a callback) to tell it to request focus. It's not working. Can someone tell me if my code is right?
The .h file
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <jni.h>
#include "CardServer.h"
#pragma data_seg("SHARED") // Begin the shared data segment.
static volatile bool instanceExists = false;
static JavaVM *theJavaVM = NULL;
static JNIEnv* theJavaEnv= NULL;
static jobject instanceObject = NULL;
static jmethodID mid = NULL;
static jclass cls = NULL;
#pragma data_seg()
#pragma comment(linker, "/section:SHARED,RWS")
jdouble canInstantiate(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj);
jdouble instantiate(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj);
jdouble uninstantiate(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj);
void grabFocus();
</code>
The .cpp file:
<code>
#include "MyFunctions.h"
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream.h>
jdouble canInstantiate(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj)

jdouble instantiate(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj)
printf("**In CPP: Instantiate!!\n");

Can I Call method on one JVM from another through a dll
...The rest of your question merely expands on your title.
And the answer to that question is no.
When you call a method you are executing a "thread of execution." A thread of execution exists only in a single process. It can not exist in another process.
If the dll is doing some interesting things then you could call a method that sets a flag. Data can move between instances. But you would then have to have a thread in that different process monitoring that flag. And sharing data in a dll is not a normal process, so it would have to be coded appropriately.
If all you want to do is set the current focus to the existing application, then that can be done with existing windows functionality. You don't need to do anything special in your dll. You can probably search these forums to find the exact code. If not there are countless examples in windows repositories (like MSDN) on how to do that.

Control iView from another iView

Hi,
I would like to know, how I can control on iView from another iView. Is there any HowTo-Guide about this? Or a simple example, maybe a list of links in one iView and the displaying of those links in the other iView.
Kind regards,
Dominik

Hi Dominik
You can do that using the client side eventing framework (EPCF) provided in EP.

Is there any way to call methods of one view from another

Hi experts,
I am new to webdynpro.I am having some requirement in which I need to call methods of one view from some other view of same component .So is there any way to do this.

Dear Pradeep,
This will solve your problem......( plz 1st read everything ..)
There are 2 views :
i) Mandatory Attributes ' view(V1)
ii) Button' s View..(V2)
1. Create a method in Component Controller.( M1).
2. Goto V2 . In the Action Handler method of Button , call method M1 of component controller.
3. Write your Code in M1 instead of V2 method.
4. Create an EVENT ( E1 ) in component controller.
5. Fire this event from M1 before executing Action Code.
6. Now Add the event handler method of E1 in V1 ( i.e. Mandatory attributes view. ) ..........clear????? .. set "METHOD TYPE" = Event Handler. instead of Method.
7. In this event handler method in V1 , write the "check_mandatory_attribute_view" method.
8. use necessary flags..
Regards ,
Aditya.

How to call the task flow one region from another region?

I have page with 3 regions (column wise) named as start, center, end.
currently I having task flow for middle(i.e, center) region which have panelCollection to perform view, create, & delete functions.
Task flow:-
From(action)To
View(create)Create
Create(Done)Execute (Execute is a method call)
Execute(*)View
View(self)Execute
By press create button on Center page, task flow takes to the Create page(in Centre region) but all other regions(start, end) remains same.
I have a usecase where we have a commandLink on Start region to show the View page on Center region. but it is not able to achieve when we move to Create/Edit page.
Plz help me out to built the same.
Thanq

Hi!
First, I'm not sure that your page layout is adequate. The regions are not intended to be navigated from outside. Yet, they can send navigation action to the container (page on which the region is placed) through Parent Action taskflow element. Also, you can investigate Contextual Events that can be raised by region, but I'm also not sure that this can be easily used for cross-region navigation.
I would suggest you to reconsider you page layout. You can use dynamic regions (which are populated by taskflow based on menu selection or click on actionLink or s button). This way, in the Start facet you place a navigation menu (links), which are connected with dynamic region in Center. If you want to reuse a navigation links (in Start), you can put all this in page template and reuse it over and over again.

How to call a method of a class from another class

Hi,
Can some one explain me this? I want the label from the Label class to be displayed in the JFrame. I understand to do this, I have to call "label" to the ABC() and createAndShowGUI().
I am novice. It will be really helpful if you could explain me what you did.
class Label {
public Label() {
public JTextField label;
label = new JTextField("Hi");
public ABC() {    //Constructor
          Container c = getContentPane();
          c.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

You know it maybe that it's just too late at night for me, but I see you complete Label class, but I don't see a class definition for ABC; you have a constructor for it, but not a class definition for it.
In any case, when you define a class, you use it in the same way any other class is used...
MyClass myObjectRef = new MyClass();

Calling a variable in one function from another

Okay so here's the situation:
I have a function that has a For Loop inside it. Inside that For Loop I am defining a button and calling to another function if clicked. The issue is (since I shouldn't put functions inside other functions) how do I get the variable being processed in the For Loop to be considered in the function that was just activated by pressing the button.
lol sorry. Here's the code.
All variable are defined elsewhere in the code.
function populateBox(DataInput:XML)
          linkAmount = DataInput.country[boxPartNum - 1].link.length(); /// defines amount of links being made
          for (k=0; k<linkAmount; k++)
                    myLink = new LinkClass();
                    box.boxMC.linksMC.addChild(myLink);
                    // set functions for links //
                    myLink.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkFunction);
/// now the function for when the button is pressed ///
function linkFunction(event:MouseEvent)
trace(k);
I need to trace the "K" used in teh For Loop.
What are my options?

IF they are movieclips then you can assign the k value as a property of them dynamically. Then you can retrieve that value in your event handler via the event argument that gets passed to the function.
function populateBox(DataInput:XML)
          linkAmount = DataInput.country[boxPartNum - 1].link.length(); /// defines amount of links being made
          for (k=0; k<linkAmount; k++)
                    myLink = new LinkClass();
                    box.boxMC.linksMC.addChild(myLink);
                    // set functions for links //
                    myLink.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, linkFunction);
                    myLink.kValue = k;
/// now the function for when the button is pressed ///
function linkFunction(event:MouseEvent)
trace(event.currentTarget.kValue);
Note: I am not surewhen it's needed, but it is possible you will need to cast the event.currentTarget as a MovieClip, so the line in the function might need to be...
trace(MovieClip(event.currentTarget).kValue);

Call an event of one page from another page

Hello Friends,
I have BSP Application with two pages (pages with flow logic). Page A and Page B.
I have a button on Page A.
I have used the Java script window.setInterval() to call a bsp page (Page B) automatically after a specified interval.
I have a button on Page B.
Now, whenever I click on the button on Page B, I want the Page B to close and automatically trigger the button on Page A.
I mean I click on Page B button but I want the Page A button to be triggered. Is that possible?
Regards,

Calling one script from another

InDesign has a nice mechanism for calling one script from another, so code can be made modular. What about FrameMaker ExtendScript? What methods are people using to call one script from another? Thanks for any suggestions.
Rick Quatro

Hi Trevor,
Note that ExtendScript is Javascript plus FM objects and methods, so you need to stick to Javascript syntax rules. The right way to include another script source is as follows:
#include "scriptname.jsx";
If this works when running the main script from the ESTK, you know it finds the included script. When you then Export the script to Binary (from the File menu of the ESTK), the binary will include the embedded script as well. After this you have a jsxbin file, which you can drop into one of the two available startup folders to make it fire automatically when FM starts. Or you can move it anywhere else and run it via the File > Script > Run command. The main idea here is that when compiling a script into binary format, all include references are resolved and the script contains the complete code. If you run the jsx, the script is interpreted and requires a correct relative reference to any included script.
I hope this clarifies things a little

Is it possible to call a method in a servlet from a java script ?

I need to do a dynamic html page . In the page i select some things and then these things must communicate whit a servlet because the servlet will do some DB querys and update the same webpage.
So is it possible to actually call a method of a servlet from a java script? i want to do something that looks like this page:
http://www.hebdo.net/v5/search/search.asp?rubno=4000&cregion=1011&sid=69DHOTQ30307151
So when u select something in the first list the secodn list automaticly updates.
thank you very much

You can
1. load all the options when loading the page and
set second selection options when user selected
the first; or
2. reload the page when user select first selection
by 'onChange' event; or
3. using iframe so you only need to reload part of
the page.

Need call a method of one iview from another iview
