Popup using JSF

Hi,
I look thought these forum and I find some things about popup forms but my questions is:
Can some one suggest or show an example of the best way to do popup forms using JSF. I want to so is in a form I have link that when the user clicks on a Popup form will display with some search data that the user can select one and display the value in the parent form.
Thanks

You will have to use javascript for popup.
u must be in need to submit this form as well.
So wat u can do is:
You can enter some invisible textbox with some value.
Change this value after submit.
At this point call the new jsf page in popup window.
after loading the page you have to check the value.
& idf value is modified . Open a popup.

Unable to display Popup page while using JSF Tiles

Hi All,
I am using JSF Tiles. In the body page i am trying to open a pop up page through java script. bt i got the 500 internal server error. The popup open properly when there is no html or core jsf tags. can anyone help me abt this problem.
Thanks.

For future JSP/Servlet related questions please use the JSP/JSTL forum or the Servlet forum. There are more experts.
As to your problem: did you read a basic JSP/Servlet book/tutorial? Did you read the [Tomcat documentation|http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/index.html]? Your problem more sounds like you missed something trivial.

Can one create a floating window using JSF?

I was recently shown the interface for GMail. I don't have a GMail account, but one of the things I was asked to investigate was whether or not we can create the sort of floating window that appears on the GMail interface when one positions the mouse pointer over a cell on the grid showing the email messgaes. We have a grid on our JSF page, that shows specific data for items we're supporting, and it would be useful if we could have something like a mouseover event handler for each table row, and in that event handler show a window with a graphic specific to the data in that row, and the chart would move with the mouse pointer, perhaps changing the graphic if the mouse pointer is moved over a different row in the data table.
Can we do this using JSF? If not, what alternative can you suggest that would provide a reasonable facsimile to this kind of user friendly feature?
Thanks

"Core JavaServer Faces" Second Edition, by David Geary and Cay Horstmann, copyr 2007 - ISBN: 0-13-173886-0 - (it put me back USD $50, but well worth it). Page 644 gives two examples of how to generate a pop-up window. They give two examples because of problems that can arise when you transfer data between the main window and the pop-up. I do not want to violate copyright and there are ten pages of text devoted to this topic, so I'll just present some tickler code - if you cannot afford the book, maybe you can google on some terms. Sorry, I feel this is as far as I can go on this, I hope this helps some!
The first example uses a JavaScript call:
popup = window.open(url, name, features);
popup.focus();
where 'features' is a string like "height=300,width=200,toolbar=no,menubar=no"
The second example creates the pop-up form using a hidden field like this:
<h:form id="hidden" target="popup">
<h:inputHidden id="country" value="#{bb.country}"/>
<h:commandlink id="go" action="showStates"/>
</h:form>

from popup window to parent window.
Here I need to pass some parameter or value to popup window without refresh the parent.

Hi Mainak,
have a look to Thread:
Popup Sizing
As you can see there is not yet a way to set the Popup size.
You have to find the good combination of fields and length in order to get a nice UI.
The WDA engine try to set the best size, help it...

Modeless popup in JSF?

Hi,
Has anyone achieved a modeless popup window when a JSF component is clicked.
My problem:
1)We are building a custom web based email application in which we have to use a lot of modeless popup windows.Foreg: creating new email, reading emails etc
2) I have a JSF Table component (Sun Creator Standard component backed by objectListDataProvider) in which I display rows of email links. The links are JSF HyperLink components. On the coloumn of hyperlink component I have setup an 'onClick' JavaScriptlet like 'window.showModelessDialog(relevant params).
Duirng runtime I can see the modeless window popup for a fraction of a second and then disappear.
This I guess is because as soon as a JSF Hyperlink component is clicked a form submission happens and because the parent page expires during submission the modeless popup expires too.
3)How to get around this problem?
4)What is the best strategy to dynamically enable and disable the main page submission? I need the submission sometimes because say for eg: to use the Sun's JSF table's sort functionality the page needs to be submitted?
5)Are there any other alternative solutions to achieve a modeless popup while still using JSF? I like the Sun's JSF table because of it's features like sorting, dataprovider etc
Cheers ears!

Using JSF and Struts

I am a bit of a newbie in terms of UI applications on the JEE platform, so I apologize up front if this question seems silly. I was wondering if someone could comment on the approach below. Is this something that's possible or am I barking up the wrong tree?
We have a vendor application that is written using Struts. We want to add a section of our own pages to this application, but we would rather use a more strategic approach in our pages, so we would like to use JSF for those.
The original web.xml file in the vendor app uses a dtd of version 2.3 as shown below:
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
When I use JSF, I use a DTD version of 2.5 as shown here:
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
The problem is that when I use version 2.3, the elements needed to support JSF are invalid. When I use 2.5, the elements needed to support struts are invalid.
Could someone comment in that, if you had this vendor app and you needed to add your own pages, is it not possible to use JSF in this scenario or if you can, what is the best approach to resolving this issue?
Thank you in advance

First make sure that your application server supports Servlet API 2.5. Whether the desired Servlet API version is supported or not solely depends on the application server implementation and version used. For example Tomcat 5.5 is a Servlet API 2.4 implementation which only supports the API versions up to with 2.4. If you want to use Servlet API 2.5, then you obviously need a Servlet API 2.5 implementation, for example Tomcat 6.0.
Consult the website and/or documentation of the application server in question.

How to send a https request using jsf

hi
Can anybody tell a sample how to send a https request using JSF ...
thanks

Prefix the request URI with the https protocol.
The answer is too easy and straightforward that I guess that you mean something else. If you just want to know how to configure an SSL environment for your own webapplication, refer to the Java EE tutorial chapter 28: http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/tutorial/doc/

Issues in using JSF UI:Tree tag

Hi,
I am trying to work with Tree Structure using JSF UI tags. In Studio Creator i just created a JSP page and designed a Tree with two nodes under it. This is what i have in the body of my jsp.
<ui:body binding="#{Page1.body1}" id="body1" style="-rave-layout: grid">
<ui:form binding="#{Page1.form1}" id="form1">
<ui:tree binding="#{Page1.tree1}" id="tree1" style="left: 48px; top: 48px; position: absolute" text="L3">
<ui:treeNode binding="#{Page1.treeNode1}" expanded="true" id="treeNode1" style="width: 408px" text="Tree Node 1">
<f:facet name="image">
<ui:image binding="#{Page1.image1}" icon="TREE_DOCUMENT" id="image1"/>
</f:facet>
</ui:treeNode>
<ui:treeNode binding="#{Page1.treeNode2}" expanded="true" id="treeNode2" text="Tree Node 2">
<f:facet name="image">
<ui:image binding="#{Page1.image2}" icon="TREE_DOCUMENT" id="image2"/>
</f:facet>
</ui:treeNode>
</ui:tree>
</ui:form>
</ui:body>
But when i am trying to launch the jsp page from browser i am getting the below exception.
com.sun.rave.web.ui.appbase.ApplicationException
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at java.io.File.(File.java:194) at com.sun.rave.web.ui.renderer.template.xml.XMLLayoutDefinitionManager.getLayoutDefinition(XMLLayoutDefinitionManager.java:142) at com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.TemplateComponentBase.getLayoutDefinition(TemplateComponentBase.java:150) at com.sun.rave.web.ui.renderer.template.TemplateRenderer.encodeBegin(TemplateRenderer.java:73) at javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase.encodeBegin(UIComponentBase.java:683)
Any suggestion to solve this issue would be greatly helpful.

Now with Unified EL - JSTL and JSF tags are supposed to work on one page.
If you want to use Unified EL you need
1) A container that is built on Servlet 2.5 / JSP 2.1 , and example of such a container is Tomcat 6.x
2) Probably need to upgrade to JSTL 1.2 , and JSF 1.2
3) If you're upgrading the container to Servlet 2.5 then web.xml should conform to Servlet 2.5 version.
4) Use correct taglib URIs for JSTL 1.2 and JSF 1.2

Using JSF and IFRAMEs

I have a basic JSF app that takes some input, does a request and creates a table on output. What I need to do with it now is to have the query "page" and results "page" in two iframes on the same page. Before the query has been run the second iframe should just be blank (or with some default text). After the query that frame should be populated but the query frame needs to still be there. I've managed to do part of this. The "search" page and the "results" page are in separate iframes:
<%@ page session="true" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>Frames</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
    <td width="100%" colspan="2">
      <iframe title="Synonyms Search" src="search.jsf"
          width="800" height="200">
      Alternate search content...
      </iframe>
     </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%">
    <iframe src="results.jsp" title="Results"
      width="800" height="800">
      Results....
    </iframe>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>The reason this page is not using jsf tags is that the iframes will need to contain other pages that themselves are not jsf (mostly servlets) and I wasn't sure I could make that work. Currently the problem is that previously the search page had a QueryBean that the results page accessed to create it's table of results. Now in iframes the results.jsp frame just has a jsp processing exception and running the query does nothing. I'm new to JSF so I'm sure there's parts I'm missing, these do work if I pull them outside the frames and write navigation rules in the faces-context.xml file.
Thanks,
Sarah

Using JSF and JavaMail to send Automated Email

Hi All,
Can any one please suggest I can use JSF and JavaMail to send automated email messages i.e after a person has successfully completed a form , a message is sent to his/her email address confirming that he has succesfully registered or completed a form. I have succesfull implemeted the use of javamail for sending email meassages in a JSF web application but cant seem to figure out how i can achieve automated sending of emails in JSF. Please any ideas, tutorials or source code would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

I don't understand your problem:
You have already been able to send e-mails from a JSF webapplication, but you are not capable of sending e-mails from a JSF webapplication?!
Automated sending of e-mails will be exactly the same as non-automated.

Using JSF and JMS

Hello Suners,
I'm developing a web project using JSF for client side development and EJB for server side development. I need to inject a stateful session bean inside my managed bean in order to send the user entries in a message to a JMS queue which in turn give it to registered MDB for asynchronous requests handling. The problem is once the session bean is initialized from within the managed bean i have a null pointer exception for the QueueConnectionFactory and in turn gives a lifecycle exception for my jsf page. I don't know where i should use my session bean. any help will be deeply appreciated, here is the beans code :
SessionBean
@Stateful
public class StockSessionBean implements StockSession {
     @Resource(name = "jms/QueueConnectionFactory",mappedName = "queueConnectionFactory")
     private ConnectionFactory connectionFactory;
     @Resource(name = "StockHistoryQueue", mappedName = "stockHistoryQueue")
     private Destination stockQueue;
@Remove
private void sendUserOptions(UserOptions userOptions) {
          try {
               Connection connection = connectionFactory.createConnection();
               Session session = connection.createSession(false,
                         Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
               MessageProducer producer = session.createProducer(stockQueue);
               ObjectMessage message = session.createObjectMessage();
               message.setObject(userOptions);
               producer.send(message);
               producer.close();
               session.close();
               connection.close();
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
}ManagedBean
@ManagedBean(name = "userInfo")
@SessionScoped
public class UserInfo {
@EJB
private StockSession stockSession
public doSubmit(ActionEvent e){
stockSession.setEmail(email);
stockSession.setStockName(stockName);
stockSession.sendUserOptions();
}MDB
@MessageDriven(activationConfig = {
          @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue"),
          @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destination", propertyValue = "StockHistoryQueue") })
public class StockMDB implements MessageListener {
     public StockMDB() {

          sendEmail(priceList, userOptions.getEmail());

Oracle portal using JSF, JSP, Struts framework

Hi ,
Can anyone tell me how to build an oracle portal using JSF,Jsp and Struts Framework.
Also please provide any manual or documentation for developing oracle portal.
Thanks in Advance,
Raghav

At present, i think the best thing to do is to look at the example provided with the struts-faces integration taglib. I don't know any documentation about it.

Using jsf with struts

hi;
i am trying to understand the proper architecture when using jsf and struts together.
i think i understand the differences between the technologies . it seems to me that instead of justifying jsf there should be a focus on how the two technologies actually collaborate.
specifically, i would like to know or see examples of things like replacing the view portion of struts and plugging in the jsf framework instead or how to i replace the struts actions with jsf commands or maybe they are totally different things.
where can i get information like this?
thanks.

Portal Development using JSF & Struts

Can some one explain about the feasibility of developing portals using JSF and Struts? What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing so? Is it a right decision to develop portal servers using these?

Yes I am familiar with all those links. Let me break down scenario and ask specific questions.
Server version: Netweaver 7.0 (2004s) SP18
1. Created External Library DC (i.e. ebuslib)
         - added 3rd party JARS (e.g. hibernate, Spring)
         - created two public parts - one for compilation, one for assembly (deploy)
         - activated activity
2. Create J2EE Server Component - Library DC (i.e. ebuslib2)
          - added "ebuslib" assembly PP as Used DC (build only)
3. Built "ebuslib2"
          - can see jars in the resulting sda file.
          - activated activity
          - confirmed on J2EE engine deployed library containing the jars.
Scenarios
A. EP Project DC
           - needs access to 3rd party jars
           - QUESTION: What do I need to reference? The External Library DC or the J2EE Server Component Library DC?
                         - I read that you should reference the J2EE Server Component BUT the jars are not available in the PP of that DC.
                         - One developer one talked to referenced the compilation PP of the External Library DC (i.e. "ebuslib").
                                 - this seemed to work but then I wondered how the project finds the JAR at runtime?
QUESTION: Does SAP load all the classes that have been deployed via the J2EE Server Component Library DC method and hence those JARs are globally available at runtime hence no need to reference them during development except for compilation? What if > 1 J2EE library contain the same jar or same API but different versions (e.g. Hibernate 2 vs 3).
Thanks for any clarifications. I want to understand the underlying technology and how it works. I have seen alot of information out there but some of it is confusing and conflicting.

Getting Substring using JSF

I am new to JSF , (using JSF and struts application ) .I was wondering how I could do basic functions like string manupilation using the JSF core tages ...
For Example if I have
<h:outputText value="#{gen.Name}" />
and I would like to get not the name but say the substring(0,5) ..how would I do this with JSF ...
Also could you please direct me to a resource where I can learn more about the Core (helpful) functions using JSF

Perhaps you could use a converter.
package com.test.converter;
import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.convert.Converter;
public final class SubstringConverter implements Converter {
    public SubstringConverter() {
        super();
    public Object getAsObject( FacesContext arg0, UIComponent arg1, String d ) {
        return d;
    public String getAsString( FacesContext arg0, UIComponent arg1, Object arg2) {
        return ((String)arg2).substring(0,5);
The corresponding entry in faces-config.xml
<converter>
    <converter-id>mySubstringConverter</converter-id>
    <converter-class>com.test.converter.SubstringConverterr</converter-class>
</converter>
Now use it!<h:outputText value="#{gen.Name}" converter="mySubstringConverter"/>
