PageFlow scope and session scoped form beans

Howdy,
Is there any more documentation on how the scope of form beans is supposed
to work in SP2? The only bit I find is a small section within the
jpf:forward and jpf:action annotation doc files. This doesn't really help
very much. If you could point to examples or more information explaining
how this can be done, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Wendy

ADF Taskflows with EJB and pageflow scope

Hi,
I am trying to create a simple registration page which is very simillar to FOD customer registration using EJBs instead of ADF BC.
I can achieve the registration in one page but I wanted to try this using a wizard based process using ADF taskflows.
I created a bounded taskflow with 3 pages. page1 is employee details, page2 is job details, page 3 is the summary page. I have JPA entities for Employee and Jobs and an EJB3 session Facade. I have used the Employees default constructor to create the UI bindings from the constructor section of the data controls. This creates an EmployeesIterator which I use it for bindings on all the three pages.
My question is can I use this Iterator binding in pageflow scope? If yes How do I do this?
The other way is to use a managed bean in pageflow scope and have UI bindings to the variables in managed bean. This option will work but I will not be utilising any of the features of ADF bindings.
Can anyone please suggest which is the better option.
Thanks
Venkatesh

Hi,
pageDef files can be shared, but their instances aren't. The caching is on the data control side, which means that instead of using a constructor you would break up the input form into method calls like
createPerson(String, fn, String ln, String address)
createInterest(String hobby1, String hobby2);
dagging and dropping the method calls should the reate an input form. Submitting the forms allows you to build a new person object on the session facade which at the end is committed. This way the ADF binding works across pages, operating on a single new object

JSF problem Session Scoped and dialog

Hello All! i have one problem with using ajax and session scoped .
I'm using JSF 2.0 and Primefaces for build 2 dialog.
I have one icon to click on it dialog 1 will display and show all list of customers and when i click details of customer on dialog 1, dialog 2 will display , and details of customer show base on <h:form>
but my problem is when i click details of customer with id #1 it not show details of customer it return null, i must refresh this page and click on customer #1 and it display, but when i click on customer with id #3 it still display customer with id #1,and i must refresh page again to view customer with id #3 and after that if i want see details of other customer such as customer with id #5 i must click and refresh page, after refresh page i click on any id of customer if always show the last id of customer before refresh page, it mean because i use p:commandButton with ajax and 2 dialog inside one page, i know , if using session scoped i must pass value from one page to another page. But i want get id in the same page with session scoped this mean when i use p:commandButton call dialog 2 for pass id value from dialog one to dialog two it will get value don't refresh page . How can i do it? or can i call dialog from another show on the same page contain dialog 1?

How to reset values in a Data Form Bean?

I have created an ADF application that has a search facility in it. The architecture is as follows:
DataPage (search.jsp) --> DataAction (validateSearch) -->DataAction (refreshCollection) --> DataPage (results.jsp)
I have successfully created a data form bean to hold the data that is submitted in the search and bind it to the refresh method of the collection. I have also successfully overridden the validate method, which catches and throws and displays appropriate ActionErrors on the search.jsp page.
I have added a link back to the search.jsp page from the results.jsp page (as a user may wish to perform another search), the ActionErrors are resetting ok but I have not managed to work out how to reset the values of the actual data form bean.
I have tried several different ways of overriding the reset method within the data form bean but so far have been unsuccessful - I would appreciate any assistance with this matter.
Shown here is a basic example of a form bean that I have been trying different things out with - I can not get the reset method to even be called - please help!
package uk.dmf.eg02;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionError;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
public class searchForm extends ActionForm
String search;
public setupForm()
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request)
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
if (search.trim().length()==0)
errors.add("search", new ActionError("error.search"));
return errors;
public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request)
System.err.println("EXECUTING RESET METHOD");
this.search = "";
public void setSearch(String search)
this.search = search;
public String getSearch()
return search;

If you run in request scope the reset method is called, however in session scope is't only called once (or never?). See documentation of method reset():
public void reset(ActionMapping mapping,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)
Reset bean properties to their default state, as needed. This method is called before the properties are repopulated by the controller.
The default implementation does nothing. In practice, the only properties that need to be reset are those which represent checkboxes on a session-scoped form. Otherwise, properties can be given initial values where the field is declared.
If the form is stored in session-scope so that values can be collected over multiple requests (a "wizard"), you must be very careful of which properties, if any, are reset. As mentioned, session-scope checkboxes must be reset to false for any page where this property is set. This is because the client does not submit a checkbox value when it is clear (false). If a session-scoped checkbox is not proactively reset, it can never be set to false.
This method is not the appropriate place to initialize form value for an "update" type page (this should be done in a setup Action). You mainly need to worry about setting checkbox values to false; most of the time you can leave this method unimplemented.

Using Query String Parameters with Session Scoped bean

I would like to pass query string parameters from a product page (user clicks on a specific product commandLink) that is request scope to a details page that is session scoped.
The problem is that the session scoped page only handles the first request. If you view the details of a product and then navigate back to the product page and choose another product ... the details page will not handle the new query string parameters and display the details for the first product chosen.
Is there a way to make the session scoped bean recognize the query string parameters past the first request?

I was able to replicate this problem with a very simple app that performs a redirection... just like the real app. Here's the simple app that I put together:
From request scope page:
<f:view>
         <h:form>
           <h:commandButton value="Link 1" action="#{reqbean.Link1}"/>
           <br/><br/>
          <h:commandButton value="Link 2" action="#{reqbean.Link2}"/>
        </h:form>
       </f:view>
From request scope bean:
public String Link1() throws IOException
    // Add event code here...
    //redirect the user
    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect("untitled2.jspx?p=1");
    return null;
public String Link2() throws IOException
    // Add event code here...
    //redirect the user
    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().redirect("untitled2.jspx?p=2");
    return null;
}At this point... I put a println in the constructor of the session scoped bean because this is where I want to get the query string params. The constructor only gets called the first time a redirect is performed.

How to put the form scope in session

Hi,
In struts you have the option of putting the scope of form as sesison in struts-config.xml.How
do you do the same thing in weblogic workshop 8.1?Workshop automatically generates
the config files for each workflow and it puts the default scope as request.
If I want to put the form scope in session.How can I do that?
Any help regarding this is appreciated
Thanks!
Sridhar

I forgot to mention that to get a form in page flow scope you need to set
the form on the action annotation,
@jpf:action form="<form name>"
This allows the action to read and update from a FormData (or ActionForm)
member variable.
Here is an excerpt from the documentation
     * @jpf:action form="_pageFlowForm"
     protected Forward doit( MyForm myForm )
     // _pageFlowForm is a member variable
     // Note that myForm == _pageFlowForm
     String name = _pageFlowForm.getFullName();

Sridhar,
If you want to put the form in session scope you can use the struts merge
feature of Workshop. There is a good dev2dev article
(http://dev2dev.bea.com/products/wlworkshop81/articles/Feit.jsp) on this
topic.
You might also consider the 8.1 SP2 feature, page flow scoped forms. Youcan
declare your form as a private member of your page flow (.jpf) and thenpass
the form from an action to a page by calling addOutputForm on yourforward,
for example,
forward.addOutputForm(yourForm);

Tables and session scope

Im using session scope for my managed beans but Im looking for a way to use request scope instead. The bean constructors loads some tables from a remote system. I dont want to reload the tables on postback which is why I put the beans on session scope. How can I put the beans on request scope and have the tables survive a postback?
Alternatively is there any way to remove the beans individually from session scope once the "conversation" is over? Im using jsf 1.2. Btw im building hundres of pages so any solution that requires lots of custom code per page is a no go.

Use two beans; one request scoped, one view/session scoped. Inject the session scoped one into your request scoped one to have easy access to its data.

Session scope and request scope

Or it isn't necessary to register it?

ADF 11g Taskflows and PageFlow Scope.

Hi,
I am working in ADF11g and I have a question on ADF Taskflows and PageFlow Scopes.
I have 2 bounded taskflows a and b. a is in showdetailitem1 and b in showdetailitem2. I have created a bounded taskflow on a and b and dropped on a page.I have some values set in page flow scope of a and when I try to retrieve those values in b, I get them as null.
Can anyone tell me what could be wrong.
Thanks,
User

Hi,
As i understand, each bounded taskflow will have a separate pageFlowScope. I believe, I have read this before in the documentation but now having a hard time finding it. If you need to share the same variable between bounded taskflows, you can look into taskflow parameters or contextual events. Another dirty and easy way is to use session scope (not recommended if can be avoided).

Hi, I have quick question about use of USEBEAN tag in SP2. When I specify a scope of SESSION for the java bean, it does not keep the values that I set for variable in the bean persistent.Thanks,Sonny

Make sure that your bean is implementing the serializable interface and that
you are accessing the bean from the session with the same name.

Resolving session scoped component in global scope component.

Hi,
I am implementing batch process and i am need to resolve session scoped component in global scoped component.
In global scope component (one of the component referred by my scheduler which also in global scope as usual) and i need to resolve session scoped "/atg/epub/workflow/WorkflowView" component in my scheduler.
I tried all possibilities but nothing worked out. I do not have access to current request, because its batch process. following ways i tried,
1. getResolveName("/atg/epub/workflow/WorkflowView") method of GenericService which is extended by my global scope component -- This returns null.
2. Tried to get the current request on ServletUtils to use resolveName() method on request.
ServletUtlis.getCurrentRequest() - This returns null as expected.
Is there any way to resolve session scoped component in global scope component. Thanks in advance.

Try below :
If you want to resolve the name of a Nucleus component from Java code that is not itself a Nucleus service, you must first initialize Nucleus with this construct:
Nucleus.getGlobalNucleus().resolveName("target component")
where target component is the name of the component you are looking up. Note that this construct works only for components with global scope.
You can also resolve names of Nucleus components using the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI). The following example shows how you can use JNDI to access the Scheduler component:
String jndiName = "dynamo:/atg/dynamo/service/Scheduler";
Context ctx = new javax.naming.InitialContext ();
Scheduler s = (Scheduler) ctx.lookup (jndiName);

Add FacesMessage to FacesContext in an session scoped bean HOWTO?

I have an simple question. How can I add an FacesMessage to the FacesContext in a session scoped bean.
This code works fine for request scoped beans.
String message = "Some message";
FacesMessage curentMessage = new FacesMessage(message, message);
curentMessage.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR); //Mark as ERROR
context.addMessage(�userForm�, curentMessage);          When I change bean scope to "session" I am getting java.lang.IllegalStateException at the last line when adding message to context.

Thanks:
-- NerminHow do you get "context"? If you are storing it as an instance variable of the bean, then you
should expect to get an exception. The FacesContext is scoped only to one request. Instead
of storing it in the bean, use FacesContext.getCurrentInstance() each time you need to use it.

NullPointerException When trying to Get Session Scoped Bean data in another ManagedBean

hello
i wont to access to some data in my session scoped bean from a request bean so when i try to get this data all i get is
com.sun.faces.mgbean.ManagedBeanCreationException: An error occurred performing resource injection
on managed bean «discussionlaoder»
in the end of the exception there is
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at Hiber.discussionlaoder.init(discussionlaoder.java:35)
this is my code:
1-the request scoped bean
@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
public class discussionlaoder {
private MyadmninHelper halper;
@ManagedProperty(value="#{serviceBean}")
     private ServicesBean serviceBean;
    @PostConstruct
    public void init() {
      halper=getServiceBean().getHalper(); // line 35
//seter and geter code
2-the sesions scoped bean
@ManagedBean (eager=true)
@SessionScoped
public class ServicesBean {
    private MyadmninHelper halper;
//seter and geter code
am using glassfish server 3.1
thank's for help

What you need to do is fix all those typos in your code, then you don't have to override names.
- the proper Java class name is DiscussionLoader, not discussionlaoder (fix english typo also)
- if you want to inject a class named ServicesBean, then also call the property the same.
@ManagedProperty
public ServicesBean servicesBean;
But what you're doing now is call the class 'ServicesBean' and then in your managed bean declaration you seem to change your mind and it should all of a sudden be 'serviceBean'. Well then rename the class so you don't have your typo anymore!
