Problem: button action triggers backbean function

Hi all,
Please let me know if I did anything wrong. I am really really puzzlled and open to any suggestions.
This is the code for button in jsp page
<h:commandButton value="wtf" action="myBean.myFunction" />
<h:commmdButton value="works" action="gotoSomePage" />This is the backbean function
public String myFunction() { System.out.println("wtf man!!!");When first button is clicked, no error or exception is raised but this s.o.p line is not printed?! However second button will direct me to the correct page mapped in faces-config.xml
I have my backbean registered in faces-config.xml and the function name used in jsp is correct o/w it will raise a parsing exception. How can this function NOT getting called?!
Btw, to filter out some suggestions:
1. I did redeploy my application every time I made changes
2. the server is running and the stderr and stdout streams are set correctly (I did even go to the server logs and check for errors in case it gets redirected)
3. this backbean properties can be display properly on the page so this back bean is mapped properly
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks very much in advance.

btw, the function does have a return null in there. I forgot to put it there.
I also tried the one with void but still no line is printed.

Problem in actions triggering for Case Management

Dear all,
I am strugling to define an action for case creation.
I am using smartform as processing type.
but when I execute and save the transaction (Case), E-mail action is not getting generated.
Processing status is showing as 'Incorrect' in the Case transaction.
In actions monitor transaction system showing the problem is in 'Processing class' and Processing method as shown below.
"Dynamic calling of method COPY_1_OF_EXEC_SMART_FORM in class CL_SAMPLE_PROCESSING_CLASS_PPF contained errors"
I am not aware of what processing class and processing method to use.
Kindly help me to resolve the issue.
Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Best wishes,

Hi Sudheer,
I think I am using the same method. the follwing seeting have been maintained for that action.
Form name - SCMG_SMART_FORM_CASE
Processing Class - CL_SAMPLE_PROCESSING_CLASS_PPF
Processing Method - COPY_1_OF_EXEC_SMART_FORM
Archive Mode - 1 Mail Only.
Still the problem exist.
Please help me resolve this issue.

Does the Video Button Action really work?

According to teh Adobe site, the Video button action should be functional:
I have not been able to get it to function so far. I am truing to get the button to play a video from a Navigation point. Am I doing something wrong (likely) or is the Adobe site incorrect.

Thanks Bob. That would be a great feature to add. I'm using DPS to create some interactive video applications and that would give me lots of new abilities.

Forms - Button Actions not functioning properly

Created form in Adobe XI Pro assigning actions to buttons - when tested actions work properly - when form is emailed actions no longer function properly for the receiver - what is the remedy?

I had assigned a "file save" followed by "print" action ... in Adobe Reader initially it gave a message that only a blank form could be printed ... it appers it may have been connected to "required" fields ... I removed all "required" fields and removed the "save" action ... now I get the "click sign to fill in fields" message which if cancelled proceeds to the print process ...
I have removed security from the form beyond locking the fields but would certainly like to secure it from any changes but am unsure if the security may be causing an issue preventing the proper function of the actions ...
I initially wanted the button to offer a save option which could be used or cancelled followed by the print option ... which functioned properly in Adobe XI but does not function in Reader

Problem with Action binding for a command button in a Managed Bean

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
I am trying to use a backing bean for a button action binding.
I followed all steps as they seems to be correct. i did not made any changes directly by hand , all of changes are introduced by oracle
Jdeveloper wizards. but now i get this exception
Managed bean is defined in faces-config.xml (it shows in preview mode) , the method is there in managed bean (Jdeveloper itself create the method i just enter its name)
can you please take a look and tell me what can be wrong?
thanks

Thank you for reply , but it does not helps or maybe i did not apply it correctly
here is faces-config.xml code snippet :
<managed-bean>

    <managed-property>
      <property-name>bindings</property-name>
      <value>#{bindings}</value>
    </managed-property>
</managed-bean>here is binding for the button in jsp file :
<af:commandButton
                                text="#{res['button.accept']}"
                                disabled="#{!bindings.Commit.enabled}"
                                action="#{ButtonActions.userAccept_action}"/>and here is some code portion of ButtonAction class
package webui.common.actionListener;
import oracle.binding.BindingContainer;
import oracle.binding.OperationBinding;
public class ButtonAction {
    private BindingContainer bindings;
    public ButtonAction() {
    public BindingContainer getBindings() {

    public void setBindings(BindingContainer bindings) {
        this.bindings = bindings;
    public String userAccept_action() {
        BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
        OperationBinding operationBinding =

[Solved] Acpi handler not triggering power button action

I'm editing the acpi handler.sh script to react to my power button, here is a relevant snippet from the code:
#!/bin/sh
set $*
logger "$1 $2"
case "$1" in
button/power)
logger "$1 $2"
case "$2" in
PWRF)
logger "$1 $2"
logger "ACPI action undefined: $2"
esac
button/lid)
When i then press power, the log shows a single entry:
Aug 28 11:53:35 localhost logger: button/power PWRF
Which is from the first logger action above case "$1".
Does anyone have a clue why the following actions under button/power don't produce any output? The code below button/lid does work properly, so it seems to be just the power button action misbehaving.

I must've made a typo somewhere because it seems to work now. I'm not really sure where i went wrong though..

Button action with desk DVD player and PC player

HI!
I built and burn a DVD with one menu with several buttons triggering different chapters. Before the menu I have a small introduction clip.
This works perfectly on my desk DVD player, but on any computer I get the introduction clip, then the menu, but the buttons don't have any action. Did I forget something.
Thank you

Thanks for the info.
Interesting, that they work fine in Preview and on set-top player. I do not have/know WinDVD, so I'm not sure of what problems it might have. I happen to use other software DVD players, and so far, they all work like my set-tops and Preview.
I'm assuming that when the left-mouse button is over your Button and pushed, nothing happens. Does the Button Highlight? Your described PS work should not have altered the Button's ability to function. If they work elsewhere, they *should* work in a software player. I assume that ALL Buttons exhibit this behavior?
Maybe someone can help with WinDVD. Might be something very simple, that's just beyond my knowledge.
Other than to say your Project looks good in detail, I can't really help - sorry.

ActionListener Problem - Event not triggering properly

Hello,
I have slight problem ith action listeners. Below is an exercise from a book on java i'm reading. I have constructed rectangle with 3 circles inside.
When the button in one panel is pushed the colors of these cicles should change from green,black,black to black,yellow,black to black,black,red and start over.
When the button is clicked the event isn't triggered. However when I push the button and click the frame of the window the colors change.
I would be grateful if anyone could explain why this is happening?

I don't in general do GUI stuff. But I can see for sure that you're never telling the system that it needs to repaint when you change state. That's why it doesn't show up until you cause an external event causing it to repaint itself, such as resizing the frame or dragging another window across the window.

Button actions only work the first time used then nothing?

This is what I have...
I Have 2 buttons in MC named mcMovieTrans the AS for these buttons are in the MC's timeline, the code is:
stop();
function playLifeboy(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(3);
function playKrave(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop(2);
lifeboy_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playLifeboy);
krave_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playKrave);
when the buttons are activated they go to there corresponding frames and Stop. As an example of what happens next I'll show you frame 3 which plays MC mcKraveMovie:
Frame 45 has a flv. movie on it that plays at this frame. The AS for this timeline on Frame 45 is:
stop();
function playReturn(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay(46);
return_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playReturn);
The AS for the timeline on Frame 90 is:
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop(1);
This is where the problem occurs because when this action takes place and it returns to the parent MC (mcMovieTrans) The buttons actions dont work anymore.
And I get this error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at capQinc_fla::mcMovieTrans_89/frame1()[capQinc_fla.mcMovieTrans_89::frame1:15]

Thanks,
I replaced all the button symbols that where in tweens on the MC mcKraveMovie with static art. But I still Get this error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

at capQinc_fla::mcKraveMovie_97/frame90()[capQinc_fla.mcKraveMovie_97::frame90:1]
This is the timeline for the (Parent) MC mcMovieTrans:
If that helps at all, the only place where the buttons are (and there actions) are in Frame 1 of this Timeline
Thanks

Can multiple button actions be implemented by creating just one RFC?

Hi All,
I wanted ask a general question "is it possible to create just one RFC for multiple button actions such as delete, insert, search, modify, copy".
I tried using one RFC for all the above mentioned actions but I wasn't able to consistently get expected results. So, I just want to confirm from SDN forum members that is it a good practice or is it advisible to create individual RFC for each button actions?
Earlier responses would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Uday

Hi,
I did not see any problem for that creation on multiple button actions such as delete, insert, search, modify, copy". These actions depending up on your RFC.
For Example. Your RFC having Insert and Delete Functionality you can develop these two Actions. i.e is depending upon your requirement and Depending upon you r RFC functionality. That
RFC donu2019t gave insert, Delete, modify these functionalities no need to create these Actions.
So there is no restriction for call the RFC Via Actions(buttons)
Hope this is help full for u
Regards
Vijay

Not given complete list of multi-state objects in the buttons & actions list

I have a 2 buttons on a single page in my article. I have 2 multistate objects (A and B) on the page. Button one, triggers MSO A to its 2nd state, and MSO B to its 2nd state. The 2nd state of MSO A also contains button 2. No problems so far. The Problem is when i try to use button 2 to reverse both MSO's back to their first states. In the button panel, after specifying the 'on release' action for button 2, and the action 'go to state" the dropdown box for "objects" is an incomplete list of all MSO objects on the page - it only includes MSO A? why? It means MSO B is stuck at its 2nd state.
thanks

FWIW, this is an InDesign limitation, not a DPS limitation so don’t hold your breath waiting.

can you please how to avoid this error or can you please tell me how to call filedownload method in another button action.

Problems automating actions in Acro 9 and 10

I just downloaded the trial version of Acro X in hopes that its ability to Create Actions would solve a longstanding problem I have, but apparently it will not. After I have described it briefly, please tell me if Acro X (or Acro 9, which I have) can solve this, if not by the Create Actions capability then maybe be Actionscript or Javascript?
I prepare PDFs in which there are typically a fairly large number video files (often 60 to 80 of them, usually MOV files) embedded and attached to 'icons' (actually areas surrounding tiny 'filmstrip' pictures in the document that were brought over from Word). The parameters I want for these are always different from those Acrobat defaults to. Specifically, I want floating a window, no poster, don't match display area to that of media file, keep open till user closes window, sometimes link instead of embed, and others (I can't see them all now since I uninstalled Acro 9 when I installed Acro 10). Since there is no way to choose different default video parameters from those chosen by Acrobat (despite my repeated requests to Adobe, though of course I'm only one person), I am forced to enter every single one of them for every single video clip.
Currently my best work-around uses keyboard macros from AutoHotkey, which are surprisingly good but often I have to rebuild them as screen positions change. I was hoping that the Create Actions capability would solve this, but I see no way for it to do that. I notice Acro 10 can do Javascript which I've written a lot of in the past, and I've written some Actionscript (was it in an early version of Flash? I forgot). I haven't looked into the interface for them in Acro 10, so this is just a shot in the dark, but would it be possible to use Javascript or Actionscript to build a little program run by Acro that I could just fire off to choose all the desired parameters for me?
Another problem with Acro 10: until now, I have needed to use the legacy capability since my users need slow motion capability, which Acro 9's video interface with FLV files doesn't provide. Also users cannot see the 'X' = close window button in the black window border that's the only one available in Acro 9. Now it looks like I will be forced to convert the MOV files to H.264, There are a huge number of them. Will I lose resolution?
Thanks for your help.

Looking through the Help doc on Javascript, it appears that it can be used only to construct actions triggered by users of the constructed PDF, not actions desired by the designer of the PDF to make his work easier.
If you know of any other solutions to my problem, please let me know!
Thanks,
Peyton

Button actions sometimes buggy

we have quite a lot of buttons with 4 or 5 actions that are controlling several MSO most of the time they work, but on some pages they are behaving irratically even tho the pages all follow the same template with the same action.
For instance we have a button that triggers a MSO that is showing different images of a product, that button also has actions to change all other MSO's on the page to a blank state so they are hidden, for most pages this is working as expected yet on some the button only works the first time you press it, the second time it does nothing - but if you slightly swipe the page then the button action will suddenly work

Yes I'm using the latest tools.
The pages where this is an issue are ones where there are buttons inside MSO although they are not the buttons that are causing the problem.
We have 2 products on each page, each has an 'interactivity bar' beneath containing 10 buttons that display a key feature panel, colour change image, specs panel, video and product features. Which are all MSOs. Each button has action to go to next stage of the relevant MSO and to a blank state on all other MSO (they all appear in the same place on the page so need to be hidden).
Most pages are working ok but one section is more complex as alongside the colour changes there are alternative angled images and for that to work we have had to put buttons inside the MSO so the button is different on each colour image and each angled image (quite hard to explain!) but basically the products are fridge freezers, so the colour change button cycles between 3 or 4 colour variation and clicking the alternate angle button will cycle through open/ closed / angled image but just for the colour variation that you are currently showing. This is working but is causing the other buttons to misbehave.
I've sort of got round it by changing all the other buttons on these pages from go to next state (so the same button opens and closes the panel) to just go to a specific state, its the only compromise I could come up with without reworking the whole thing, which is on deadline tomorrow!

Button action with no result

I like to have a button with the following InDesign (CS6) function: Paste in Place.
But whatever I try, it did not work.
app.menuActions.item("$ID/Paste in Place").invoke();
or
app.scriptMenuActions.itemByID(273).invoke();
The Configurator panel I have made is this one (http://www.hansg.nl/screenshot_24.png) and all the buttons works, except the 'Paste in Place' one.
So, I need some help!
OS X 10.8.5
InDesign CS6 8.0.2
Configurator 4.0.0
I insert both scripts in two different ways: as a link to the javascipt and as text in the script file option.
And also as an option showed in the left colomn under Menu's" > "Main" > "Edit" > "Paste in Place"

Thanks for the info.
Interesting, that they work fine in Preview and on set-top player. I do not have/know WinDVD, so I'm not sure of what problems it might have. I happen to use other software DVD players, and so far, they all work like my set-tops and Preview.
I'm assuming that when the left-mouse button is over your Button and pushed, nothing happens. Does the Button Highlight? Your described PS work should not have altered the Button's ability to function. If they work elsewhere, they *should* work in a software player. I assume that ALL Buttons exhibit this behavior?
Maybe someone can help with WinDVD. Might be something very simple, that's just beyond my knowledge.
Other than to say your Project looks good in detail, I can't really help - sorry.
