Netbeans JSF Visual Editor

I'm just wondering if anyone has seen this problem. I tried to add a Static Text field to an existing Layout Panel. I see the field properly in the jsp and I see it in the Navigator panel.
But, it does not appear when I try and write in the java view. I want to dynamically initialize it but using "this." or just using its id shows an error. The other elements under this panel work
fine, but it seems I cannot add anything new.
I've tried restarting netbeans, which also didn't help. Can anyone what conditions might
cause this strange behavior?

augustobacellar,
The Visual Editor in JDeveloper 11 functions in much the same way it did in 10g. We use a page flow method of layout, not absolute positioning. This adheres to the container style model of layout provided by the JSF and allows JDeveloper to support Visual rendering for an array of component sets. Both the absolute positioning Visual Editors relay on one specific proprietary component set and do not support this style of visual development for other components. Thus, to adhere to our mantra of choice we chose a more robust approach.
Regards,
Ric

  • JSF Visual Editor - Eclipse plugin

    Hi!,
    I worked with netBeans 5.5 + visual web pack and I liked the JSF visual editor, but I'm forced to use Eclipse in my company, so I need a JSF Visual Editor plugin for Eclipse, I tested a pair of them with bad results.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks

  • JSF Visual Editor does not work with Tomahawk 1.1.3

    hi,
    i am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4 (SU4) with tomahawk 1.1.3 and myfaces-core 1.1.3.
    All Tomahawk components that need the extensions filter to be rendered properly cannot be displayed
    in the UI Designer anymore (e.g. Calendar). More painfully: all compontents in the container that comes after the component
    that failed rendering will not be rendered too.
    I have enabled JSP Visual Editor Preferendes 'Show Design Time Messages in Log' and got the following
    exception:
    Error exercising tag : h:panelGrid
    java.lang.IllegalStateException: ExtensionsFilter not correctly configured. JSF mapping missing. JSF pages not covered. Please see: http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk/extensionsFilter.html
         at org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.util.AddResourceFactory.throwExtensionsFilterMissing(AddResourceFactory.java:371)
         at org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.util.AddResourceFactory.checkEnvironment(AddResourceFactory.java:333)
         at org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.util.AddResourceFactory.getInstance(AddResourceFactory.java:288)
    But the ExtensionsFilter is configured correctly - all works fine when running the page.
    A little help was to disable the ExtensionsFilter Check in web.xml
    <context-param>
    <param-name>org.apache.myfaces.CHECK_EXTENSIONS_FILTER</param-name>
    <param-value>false</param-value>
    </context-param>
    So only the components that need the extensions filter will not be rendered - others will not be affected.
    But this is not really satisfying (btw. all worked fine with myfaces 1.1.1)
    Has anyone else got the same expirience?
    thanks

    hi,
    to work with myfaces-1.1.1 and the newer versions in jdeveloper i have changed the tlib-versionS for myfaces-impl-1.1.3 and tomahawk-1.1.3 so that they differ from the 1.1.1 libs.
    then i registered the JSP libraries tomahawk.tld from tomahawk-1.1.3.jar, myfaces_html.tld and myfaces_core.tld from myfaces-impl-1.1.3.jar
    then i have created a user library containing myfaces-api-1.1.3.jar and myfaces-impl-1.1.3.jar
    on a new created JSF i allways have to manually remove the jsf-impl.jar from WEB-INF/lib directory because it conflicts with myfaces.
    i hope this helps

  • Can I use grid layout in JSF visual page designer ?

    Hello dears...
    I am using Jdeveloper 11 g and 10 g .
    When I tried to use JSF visual editor (from the component palette), and when I drag any control to the page I found that the control go to the top left of the page
    and I even can not move the control to another place in the page by the mouse.
    the JSF visual designer seems to use flow layout for the page . (the same as using flow layout in the swing applications).
    The question is Can I change the page layout to be grid layout instead of flow layout ?????? (to be able to move any control to anywhere in the page.)
    Note that in netbeans 6.1 , when u design JSF page , you have 2 options for the page layout, grid layout and flow layout and u can choose as u like.
    Is this feature found in jdeveloper 11 ?????
    if not , Can anybody tell me any workaround to design JSF pages without using flow layout ????
    Thanks in advance
    Samy
    Edited by: user10653280 on Nov 29, 2008 1:30 PM

    We don't provide absolute positioning for JSF application - this is a bad practice since it fills your JSF page with CSS code and create applications that are not portable between different screen/monitor resolutions - so we use flow layout instead and provide a much richer set of layout components.

  • Visual editor JSF rendering not working

    Hi,
    I'm trialing the 10.1.0.3EA version of JDeveloper and I can't seem to get the JSF rendering working in the visual editor. I thought that perhaps I'd changed some settings or something so I completely uninstalled and then reinstalled JDeveloper. After the install I created a new application using the default web tech. scope, created default business components from the order and order_items tables in the oe schema, opened the JSF navigation, added a page and tried to drag and drop a read only table onto the page. Instead of the rendering I am getting a hierarchical view of tags with just the tag names, i'm not even getting any of the binding information shown, other than in the property inspector. I'v checked to make sure that the JSP tag libraries in the project settings all have "Execute tags in JSP Visual Editor" checked and in the preferences I have made sure that "Show JSP Tag Names Only" is unchecked. Does this functionality not work by default from the install or am I missing something?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Lee Proctor.

    Of course, use the value attribute of the component and set it to EL representing the desired property.

  • JSF Rendering in the Visual Editor

    JDeveloper frequently fails to render JSF components in the Visual Editor when running the Car Demo example (as documented on this site). The error reported is a null pointer exception inside the View Tag code, caused by an inability to create a faces context.... Does anyone have any ideas?

    Jhon, what Frank mentioned can't be fixed from the outside. You or the developers who use phase listens without thinking about the design view are the ones to fix this. Frank provided you with the solution for this.
    However, we don't know if you use any self written phase listener. If you don't do this you have another problem. I do see some of your symptoms but can't reproduce them at the moment. As long as we can't reproduce the problem somehow it's difficult to to get a solution.
    My advise is to keep your eyes open (add I do) and whenever you can reproduce this behaviour come back and tell us about it. It's hard or impossible to give the 'best' settings for Jdev.conf as they depend on other factors e.g. operating system, memory, other applications running at the same time and many more.
    Personally I don't change the parameters as long as I can't put the problems to low memory (which I can't at the moment).

  • Execute JSF tags in Visual Editor?

    Hi to all,
    I'm currently using JDev 10.1.3.0.3.3412; I read that, checking "Execute tags in JSP Visual Editor" should render my jsf tags once I press the refresh button. However, I have been unable to get it to work. I have the library defined and my web app works perfectly in the OC4J server, but in the Visual Editor I can only see the names and layout of the JSF components I have, not they real look.
    Am I missing something?
    Best regards
    Alejandro

    can you reproduce in a simple case - the labels will come out as placeholder/binding text but if you drop on, for example, a table you should be the table layout and the navigation bars in that table...
    See http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/4gl/viewlets/Workshop_intro.swf - towards the end of this viewlet you see a JSF page layout - is this what you are seeing?

  • Can't get JSF tags to execute in Visual Editor (JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.3.3412)

    Hi,
    I have searched this discussion forum for this problem and apparently I can't find any solution / tried a few but none works. I am feeling quite frustrated about this as on Manning's "JavaServer Faces in Action" online extension gave real examples in JDeveloper that looked so attractive, but in reality it doesn't work!
    However, I could get 10.1.2 to associate with JSF by following online's howto's, but that would lose all the cool tools that come with 10.1.3 EA...
    I would appreciate it if anyone can provide a clue as how to make JSF tags execute in the Visual Editor...

    Hi shay,
    I discover that the problem was with my JSF source. I was importing from a source file (WAR) that comes with the book "JavaServer Faces in Action", when I import the file and try to open, I get a few exceptions shown on the console window, and the JSF tags were all unexecuted.
    And as I create a new JSF file on my own in JDeveloper, everything was fine...

  • JSF Page Template error in Visual Editor

    Hi!
    I've developed a jsp page template with an attribute called BackingBean. This attribute is a mypackage.view.BackingBeanTemplate class and it works perfectly when I open the template in visual editor.
    When I create a new JSF page using my jsf page template and fill attribute BackingBean with a class that extends mypackage.view.BackingBeanTemplate, the visual editor send me the following error in Messages - Log:
    WARNING: A problem was encountered executing the page. Using fallback rendering.
    javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: The class 'oracle.adf.view.rich.component.fragment.UIXPageTemplate$AttrMap' does not have the property 'BackingBean'.
    When I run my jsf it works perfectly. Just in visual editor it doesn't render my page.
    Can I use only primitive types and wrappers (String, Boolean, Integer, etc) in jsf template pages?
    Anybody could help me?
    Thanks
    Gleber

    Hi,
    actually i used a template that references a type DCIteratorBinding using EL and this works fine. So there is no limitation in the type you pass as an argument. My assumption is that the IDE doesn't instantiate super classes, which is why the property is not found. Does the subclass call super() in its constructor? Anyway, feel free to file a bug

  • Custom taglib: tags not rendered in visual editor

    Hi!
    I have created a custom tag library with jsf tags. I have created one tag that extends the CoreSelectOneChoiceTag. When I drag this tag on a page, at runtime it works completely as desired.
    Only, in the visual editor the tag is invisible. With the tag library properties I have specified that the tags should be executed. In the source and structure windows the tags is visible (of course).
    What influences how a tag is rendered in the visual editor, and what content is rendered?
