OSB with Task Flow

Hi,
I have read many documents regarding How to call OSB from Task Flow. But this time my requirement is reverse.
I have one OSB running on web logic server. some External System will send request to this OSB. Upon receiving request, OSB will call business service which should call task ADF flow.
Please help.
Regards,
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
Expose the task flow as SOAP service and call the Task flow from OSB as soap service

How to Use No DB connection App with task flow desined as 'New Transaction'

Hi,
My application is fully depend on Custom java datasource implmentation and it requires no DB connection at all. I've done necessary implementation (http://andrejusb.blogspot.in/2012/03/use-case-for-adf-bc-with-no-database.html) by creating CustomDatabaseConnectionStrategy that says
    @Override
    public ApplicationModule createApplicationModule(Hashtable env) {
      env.put(Configuration.DB_REQUIRES_CONNECTION,Boolean.FALSE);
      env.put(PropertyMetadata.ENV_DO_FAILOVER.pName, PropertyConstants.FALSE);
      return super.createApplicationModule(env);
    }My application works fine until i keep my task flow transaction as 'No Controller transaction'. Yes, I use Dynamic tab shell template as UI. But when I keep it as 'Always Begin with New Transaction' and not to share the Data control, Screen is not at all getting rendered. I get some exception (I guess the moment I try to open the task flow, it is trying to get the connection. Since there is no connection available, It gives me this error. Is it so?)
One of my client requirement is to open the same screen under multiple tabs as a fresh screen (i.e. with different transaction. We do transaction through tuxedo transaction server). If I load a screen under first Tab with some data, added some record, deleted some record.. and If I load the same screen under another Tab, it should not refelect the same data whatever I have under first Tab.
Requirement:
I don't have DB connection in my app. But I should be able to define the task-flow to open with new instance of Application module whenever it is opened.
Your help on this would be appreciated.

If I understand you requirements correctly, you do not need ADF taskflow transactions but you just need fresh DataControls. If it is so, then you do not have to set the taskflow's transaction behaviour to "Always Begin with New Transaction" (e.g. keep it to "No Controller Transaction"), but set the DataControl frame to "isolated" (e.g. uncheck the "Share data controls with the calling task flow" checkbox in the taskflow's Property Inspector). In this way each taskflow instance will be started in a different DataControl frame (e.g. it will instantiate its own set of ApplicationModule instances).

Possible to use menuBar with task flow based ADF menus?

Hello -
I've just worked through the " [Create ADF Menus for Page Navigation|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/11/cuecards111/adf_set_43/ccset43_ALL.html] " tutorial. It shows how to create menus based on your task flows.
My question: is it possible to use the af:menuBar with these menu models (instead of navigationPanes or breadcrumbs) ?
I am using JDev 11g 11.1.1.1.0
Thanks.
Edited by: scott.turnquist on Nov 5, 2009 12:07 PM

Hi,
The XML menu model extends the Trinidad TreeModel, which extends Collection model. This allows you to access the hierarchical menu structure so that you can use af:iterator to build a structure to display in a af:menuBar

How to use Train Component only with Task-flows as Train Stops

Hi,
I'm using JDeveloper version - 11.1.1.6
I have below requirement:
In a Page when user clicks the button, display the Popup with Train Component. I have to use bounded task flow for each Train Stop. I don't have any views to be used as Train Stops. (Most of the Train Samples have Views / JSFF Fragments as Train Stops and child task flows as Train stops)
Please let me know if I can achieve this.
Any pointers would be helpful.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
train stops must be displayed on a view. So if you have a task flow that navigates to other taskflows then it needs to have at least a single view to display the train stops. If you attempt to show. If you enter a task flow then this task flow will have its own train model. So maybe its better to look at what your use case is and why you need to quite called task flows without properly exiting them

Simple example with task flow

Hi all
I need sample example of passing parametars to method using task flow.
I have one view and on method activity;
How can i for current row in view activity call method to do something like
public boolean raiseSalaryToEmployee(double per){
double salary = getSalary().doubleValue();
double diff = salary/100*per;
salary = salary+diff;
this.setSalary(new BigDecimal(salary));
return true;
witch is implemented in EO.
And how to pass parametar to method?

Task flow-call as a Dialog with inline-popup issue JDev 11.1.1.2.0

I have a very serious issue with task flow-call running as a Dialog with inline-popup
have bunch of data driven table components pointing to pageDefs with Iterators
the problem is, the dialog comes first with nothing in it (blank) and it takes 3-5 seconds to fetch all views,
this is useless, there is no option to control taskflow-call activation , like you do for af:region
For reference : I am talking about this : http://jobinesh.blogspot.com/2010/08/refresh-parent-view-when-in-line-popup.html
Download the workspace , connect as HR Schema and you will see what I am talking about
looks really dumb, it would make sense to show dialog with data all at once, rarther than looking at blank screen to wait for the data to show up
Edited by: user626222 on Sep 20, 2010 8:57 AM
can I call this a bug?
Edited by: user626222 on Sep 20, 2010 1:58 PM
sometimes I wonder if anyone tested this, as soon as you have some data driven components on your page, you get all sorts of problems in ADF
But something simple, Adf client side invokes the Dialog as a popup first, and then it thinks oh ya I get massive pageDef to load, so end-user customer will stare at the blank screen for 10 secs , hoping that something will come up or program is crashed
Well, I am afraid to say you lost your customer :(

Accessing Human Task Payload from ADF Task Flow

Hi
Using jDeveloper 11g TP4 SOA...
The scenario is this:
1. We have created a Human Task which has parameters accountId and accountType in the payload.
2. We have then created a Task Flow based on that human task.
3. Inside the web folder with task flow we have *4 task display forms* (jspx pages).
4. In the task flow we have the 4 pages and then a router
5. Now we want the router to look in the payload of the human task and based on the accountType redirect to the correct task display form.
Problem: We can't access the human task data control from the router in the task flow.
Does anyone have some insigt into how we can read the accountType from the payload and then pick the correct task display form?

Hi victor,
i'm using a SOA(OSB) based task service, but i think that you have to use a "task service" (or something like this) to update your task
this is my routine
public Task updateTask(Task task) throws Exception {
TaskServiceContextTaskBaseType taskUpd =
new TaskServiceContextTaskBaseType();
taskUpd.setWorkflowContext(getWorkFlowContext());
taskUpd.setTask(task);
return taskService.updateTask(taskUpd);
where taskService is the port of my proxy.
Hope this help

What is difference between ADF Task Flow and Faces-Config - when delpoy ?

What is difference between ADF Task Flow and Faces-Config? When I create navigation between pages with ADF task flow then the navigation don't work when I deploy my application to Weblogic 10.3. When I use default server then navigation works fine. With Faces_config in both situations all works ok - on Stanalone server and default.
Where is the problem?
Best regards!

Shay, I don't use both faces-config and adf task flow! When I failed with task flow I tried faces-config.
I have active on my weblogic - adf.oracle.domain(1.0,11.1.1.0.0). This is the right ADF? If yes then where is the problem?
Best regards!

The subtle use of task flow "No Controller Transaction" behavior

I'm trying to tease out some subtle points about the Task Flow transactional behavior option "<No Controller Transaction>".
OTN members familiar with task flows in JDev 11g and on wards would know that task flows support options for transactions and data control scope. Some scenarios based on these options:
a) When we pick options such as "Use Existing Transaction" and shared data control scope, the called Bounded Task Flow (BTF) will join the Data Control Frame of its caller. A commit by the child does essentially nothing, a rollback of the child rolls any data changes back to when the child BTF was called (i.e. an implicit save point), while a commit of the parent commits any changes in both the child and parent, and a rollback of a parent loses changes to the child and parent.
A key point to realize about this scenario is the shared data control scope gives both the caller and called BTF the possibility to share a db connection from the connection pool. However this is dependent on the configuration of the underlying services layer. If ADF BC Application Modules (AMs) are used, and they use separate JNDI datasources this wont happen.
b) When we pick options such as "Always Begin New Transaction" and isolated data control scope, the called BTF essentially has its own Data Control Frame separate to that of the caller. A commit or rollback in either the parent/caller or child/called BTF are essentially isolated, or in other words separate transactions.
Similar to the last point but the exact opposite, regardless how the underlying business services are configured, even if ADF BC AMs are used with the same JNDI data source, essentially separate database connections will be taken out assisting the isolated transactional behavior with the database.
This brings me back to my question, of the subtle behavior of the <No Controller Transaction> option. Section 16.4.1 of the Fusion Guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/web.1111/b31974/taskflows_parameters.htm#CIHIDJBJ) says that when this option is set that "A new data control frame is created without an open transaction." So you could argue this mode is the same as isolated data control scope, and by implication, separate connections will be taken out by the caller/called BTF. Is this correct?
Doesn't this in turn have implications about database read consistency? If we have one BTF participating in a transaction with the database, reading then writing data, and a separate BTF with the <No Controller Transaction> option set, it's possible it wont see the data of the first BTF unless committed before the No Controller Transaction BTF is called and queries it's own dataset correct?
An alternative question which takes a different point of view, is why would you ever want this option, don't the other options cover all the scenarios you could possibly want to use a BTF?
Finally as a separate question based around the same option, presumably an attempt to commit/rollback the Data Control Frame of the associated No Controller Transaction BTF will fail. However what happens if the said BTF attempts to call the Data Control's (not the Data Control Frame's) commit & rollback options? Presumably this will succeed?
Your thoughts and assistance appreciated.

CM.

For other readers this reply is a continuation of this thread and another thread: Re: Clarification?: Frank & Lynn's book - task flow "shared" data control scope
Hi Frank
Thanks for your reply. Okay I get the idea that were setting the ADFc options here, that can be overridden by the implementation of data control, and in my specific case that's the ADF BC AM implementation. I've always known that, but the issue became complicated because it didn't make sense what "No Controller Transaction" actually did and when you should use it, and in turn data control frames and their implementation aren't well documented.
I think a key point from your summation is that "No Controller Transaction" in context of ADF BC, with either data control scope option selected, is effectively (as far as we can tell) already covered by the other options. So if our understanding is correct, the recommendation for ADF BC programmers is I think, don't use this option as future programmers/maintainers wont understand the subtlety.
However as you say for users of other data controls, such as those using web services, then it makes sense and possibly should be the only option?
Also regarding your code harvest pg 14 entry on task flow transactions: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/march2011-otn-harvest-351896.pdf
....and the following quote in context of setting the transaction option to Begin New Transaction:
>
When a bounded task flow creates a new transaction, does it also mean it creates a new database connection? No.
>
....I think you need to be a little more careful in this answer, as again it depends on the underlying data control implementation as you point out in this thread. In considering ADF BC, this is correct if you assume only one root AM. However if the BTFs have separate root AMs, this should result in 2 connections and transactions..... well at least I assume it does, though I wonder what will happen if both AMs share the same JNDI data source.... is the framework smart enough to join the connections/transactions in this case?
Also in one of your other code harvests (apologies I can't find which one at the moment) you point out sharing data control scopes is only possible if the BTF data controls have the same name. In context of an ADF BC application, with only one root AM used by multiple BTFs, this of course would be the case. Yet, the obvious implication to your summary of transaction outcomes in this thread, if the developers for whatever reason change the DC name across DataBindings.cpx files sourced from ADF Libraries containing the BTFs, then no, it wont.
Overall the number of variables in this gets really complicated, creating multiple dimensions to the matrix.
Going to your last point, how can the documentation be improved? I think as you say the documentation is right in context of the options for ADFc, but, as the same documentation is included in the Fusion Dev Guide which assumes ADF BC is being used, then it isn't clear enough and can be misleading. It would seem to me, that depending on the underlying data control technology used, then there needs to be documentation that talks about the effect of ADFc task flow behavior options in the context of each technology. And God knows how you describe a scenario where BTFs use DCs that span technologies.
From context of ADF BC, one thing that I've found hard in analyzing all of this is there doesn't seem to be an easy way from the middletier to check how many connections are being taken out from a data source. The FMW Control unfortunately when sampling db connections taken out from a JNDI data source pool, doesn't sample quickly enough to see how many were consumed. Are you aware of some easy method to check the number of the db connections opened/closed?
Finally in considering an Unbounded Task Flow as separate to BTFs, do you have any conclusions about how it participates in the transactions? From what I can determine the UTF lies in it's own data control frame, and is effectively isolated from the BTF transactions, unless, the BTF calls commit/rollback at the ADF BC data control level (as separate to commit/rollback at the data control frame level), and the data control is used both by the UTF and BTF.
As always thanks for your time and assistance.

ADF Security, Task Flow as a region in a page resource grant

JDeveloper 12c (12.1.2); Application uses ADF form based security, external LDAP provider (Active Directory)
After sign-in page (upon successful authentication/authorization) user is forwarded to a page that executes VO method prior to render. I am new to task flow concept and am told to achieve this like:
- create bounded task flow, with method call activity (execute exposed AM method that calls VO method, runs custom SQL) and view activity as page fragment.
- then drop the above task flow into a page as a region
In ADF security setup, I gave resource grant task-flow to certain application role. Started the application, login and got 403 error. Then went back and gave resource grant 'view' to the actual page that contains task flow. It worked fine.
So the question is, when protecting application (implemented with task flows) with ADF security, I thought it is enough to grant those task flows to whatever application roles (groups) and inherently any page that uses that task flow(s) (as a region) will be protected?
From this test, it seems that I have to assign each page (that has task flow as a region) to application roles individually?

Hi,
any page that is contained in a bounded task flow is protected by the task flow permission grant, this is correct. If this is not what you see, please file a bug with support or send me a simple reproducible test case please. My mail address (replace all < name > with the described symbol.
frank <dot> nimphius <at> oracle <dot> com
The test case will need to be in a ZIP file nemaed to "unzip" and should be able for me to run stand alone (please no database scripts to run prior to try the test case)

Button Actions are not working -invoking task flow from other project regio

Hi
I have a project using a mani.jspx file having a regions and the region is updated with different views based on a router condition in my bounded task flow. Everything working fine with in the project. I have a seperate project in my application having an index.jspx and region in it. I created the ADF lib jar file of the first project and imported to this project. I could invoke the task flow in the first project to the region in the index.jspx file in the seconed project.But none of the action managed bean method attached to the buttons in this view are working.The methods are not getting called on clicking on button and no error in the backend console of Integrated weblogic server.Any body can help what could be the issue ?
Thanks
Suneesh

The issue that is happening when I refreshed the region with task flow from the project I imported.If I load the taskflow from the imported project on first time rendering all my managed bean actions are executing but if I load a different flow initially and change the taskflow Id imported from other project none of the managed actions are working.
Thanks

Can ADF Faces Dialog Framework be used in a Bounded Task Flow ?

Jdev. 11.1.1.4
I have read chapter "19 Using Dialogs in Your Application" in the Jdev documentation.
There explains that there are mainly two methods to open dialogs in ADF:
The first (point 19.2) is calling a bounded task flow from a view activity (for example). This system can only open modal windows.
The other is using the ADF Faces Dialog Framework and it seems to be more general. In point "19.3.1 How to Define a JSF Navigation Rule for Opening a Dialog" it is explainied the way to achieve this but the explanation begins with "In the adfc-config.xml file, create a page flow for".
does this mean that I can not use this technology inside a Bounded task flow ?
I have tried and it seems that it doesn't work.
Currently we are using af:showpopupbehaviour to open popups, but this doesn't work with task flows and I don't like this.

does this mean that I can not use this technology inside a Bounded task flow ?ADF Faces Dialog Framework can be used in both unbounded and bounded taskflows.
I have tried and it seems that it doesn't work.The command commponent outcome must begin with "dialog:" and the command component tag must have useWindow="true", for example:
<tt><af:commandButton action="dialog:toEdit" useWindow="true" .../></tt>
Currently we are using af:showpopupbehaviour to open popups<af:showPopupBehaviour> can be used to open inline popups, but it has nothing to do with the Dialog Framework. Inline popups and the dialogs of the Dialog Framework are two different things.

specifically the section 15.5.3 on How to Call an ADF Bounded Task Flow Located in Another Web Application.
I've followed the instructions but still can not seem to call another task flow in another application correctly.
Can someone send a small example specifying how the (TaskFlow Reference) section
should be filled in, and just a general simple outline of process to set the whole process up.
Thanks

Your EL for the remote-app-url needs to return something like this
"http://www.acme.com:80/myapp/faces/adf.task-flow"
where "http://www.acme.com:80/myapp/faces" is the root of the url you'd normally use to access the remote application.
I filed two bugs:
bug 6944247 to improve the documentation
bug 6944246 to fix the fact that you currently have to specify the 'adf.task-flow' part. You shouldn't need to do that. But doing so for now will get it to work.

Reuse Task flows without Page fragment

Hello,
I ve seen some examples with task flows being resued inside regions and using page fragments.
However , my requirement is little different and would like some inputs on this.
I have an authentication module to be used in different ADF applications.
I have a login page(not a page fragment) and a router and task flow return activity in the resuable bounded task flow.
We are having a managed bean to check authentication and we have a page flow scope variable which marks success or failure and hands it over to router which inturn routes to task flow return if successful, else routs it back to login page if failure.
When i use this BTF in a consuming task flow(BTF) and add the module as an ADF library, everything is fine except it is not lauching a welcome page upon success and just stays on the same login page.
I have the ADF security on with the redirect page given upon successful authentication as the welcome page.
The welcome page is in the consuming application and not part of the authentication module itself.
In the consuming task flow, i have a control case from the Authentication task flow call activity to the welcome page and the control case rightly given success as outcome automatically bcos of task flow return in the consumed task flow.
Any input to launch the welcome page upon successful authentication is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
you cannot authenticate users in a bounded task flow and expect to redirect you successfully. The redirect only happens if authentication is handled by the ADF Security authentication servlet redirecting the call. So your bounde task flow needs to return an outcome and your consuming application should have a wild card navigation case defined that then redirects to the welcome page
