Problems with populating Drop Down List (WD ABAP)

Hi,
I am trying to populate two Drop Down fields CARRID and CONNID (Type Table SPFLI) on an Adobe Interactive Form in a Web Dynpro ABAP Application.
In the WD Context I have a node "Flights" with those attributes.
In the WDDOINIT I populate the Context elements (just for test purposes with all entries of SPFLI).
[code]
DATA:
     node_flights                        TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
     elem_flights                        TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
     stru_flights                        TYPE wd_this->element_flights,
     it_flights TYPE TABLE OF spfli.
SELECT carrid connid FROM spfli INTO TABLE it_flights.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <FLIGHTS> via lead selection
   node_flights = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_flights ).
node_flights->bind_table(
    new_items            = it_flights
    set_initial_elements = ABAP_FALSE
[/code]
According to this
Re: adobe form/reader error I bound the element values property of the Enumerated Drop Down List to [code]$record.sap-vhlist.CARRID.item[*][/code], whereas <i>Object Text</i> is "Text" and <i>Object Value</i> is "Key".
Unfortunately the DDLs on the Adobe Form are not populated with the values read from the table. I debugged the application and the values are written to the Context node.
Do you have any further hints?
Best regards,
Robin

Problem with InputRender drop down lists

Basically, everytime i go through a particualar .particular, which initializes several View Objects for displaying various information to the system's user, in all my other .jsp forms, all the drop down lists that i create, loose all the data they should have displayed but one. That is, if they were to display 5 choices, they display only one of them.
Clearly this is something nobody wants, and i was wondering if anyone has come across this before and if yes, then what would you recommend to me to do?
Cheers for all you help

Make sure you upload your spry css file too.

Error while populating drop down list with values from a database

Hi all,
I have a JSP page with a drop down list that is to be populated with values from a database.
This is the code in my JSP file:
     
         
         <% ArrayList<Integer> floornumbers = dataManager.getAllFloorNumbers();
            Iterator<Integer> iterator = floornumbers.iterator(); %>
         
         <form id="floorselectionform">
              <input type="hidden" name="action" value="floorselected"/> 
              Select floor | <select name="floorselector" id="floorselector">
                   <% while (iterator.hasNext()) { %>
                   <option value="<%=iterator.next().intValue()%>"> <%=iterator.next().intValue()%> </option>
                   <% } %>
              </select>
              <input type="submit" value="Go!"/>
         </form>   The DataManager.java class simply forwards this to its respective Peer class, which has the code shown below:
      package seatplanner.model;
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import java.sql.ResultSet;
    import java.sql.SQLException;
    import java.sql.Statement;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    /* This class handles all floor operations */
     public class FloorPeer
     /* This method returns all the floor numbers */
     public static ArrayList<Integer> getAllFloorNumbers(DataManager dataManager) {
        ArrayList<Integer> floornumbers = new ArrayList<Integer>();
        Connection connection = dataManager.getConnection();
        if (connection != null) {
          try {
            Statement s = connection.createStatement();
            String sql = "select ID from floor order by ID asc";
            try {
              ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(sql);
              try {
                while (rs.next()) {
                  floornumbers.add(rs.getInt(1));
              finally { rs.close(); }
            finally {s.close(); }
          catch (SQLException e) {
            System.out.println("Could not get floor numbers: " + e.getMessage());
          finally {
            dataManager.putConnection(connection);
        return floornumbers;
     } The classes compile properly, but when I load this page up in Tomcat it just freezes and does not load the form. I tested the DB connection and it works fine.
What am I doing wrong in the JSP code?
Thanks for the help in advance.
UPDATE: I commented out the form, and added <%=floornumbers.size()%> right above the commented code to check if the ArrayList is indeed getting populated with the values from the database (the values are of type integer in the database). The page still freezes like before. I'm puzzled now :confused: .

Wrong usage of Iterator.

         
         <% ArrayList<Integer> floornumbers = dataManager.getAllFloorNumbers();
            Iterator<Integer> iterator = floornumbers.iterator(); %>
         
         <form id="floorselectionform">
              <input type="hidden" name="action" value="floorselected"/> 
              Select floor | <select name="floorselector" id="floorselector">
                   <% while (iterator.hasNext()) {
                                Integer inte = iterator.next();
                        %>
                   <option value="<%=inte.intValue()%>"><%=inte.intValue()%></option>
                   <% } %>
              </select>
              <input type="submit" value="Go!"/>
         </form>or make use of enhanced loop as you are already using J2SE 5.0+ for avoiding confusions.

         
         <% ArrayList<Integer> floornumbers = dataManager.getAllFloorNumbers(); %>
         
         <form id="floorselectionform">
              <input type="hidden" name="action" value="floorselected"/> 
              Select floor | <select name="floorselector" id="floorselector">
                   <% for(Integer inte:floornumbers) {%>
                   <option value="<%=inte.intValue()%>"><%=inte.intValue()%></option>
                   <%}%>
              </select>
              <input type="submit" value="Go!"/>
         </form>and a lot better thing would be making usage of basic Taglib provided with JSTL spec or struts spec which make life easier and simple.
something like usage of <c:forEach/> or <logic:iterate/> would be lot better without writing a single scriptlet code.
Hope that might help :)

Self populating drop down lists.

Is there any tutorials or information to do a self populating
drop down list
in CF?
I assume you would have the form post back to its self using
a IsDefined for
each drop down step. Drop Down 1 (DD1) is selected and that
posts back to
the same page and causes the DD2 to run a SQL query based on
DD1's choice
and you repeat the process until the final DD is selected.
Is this correct and where can I find a good tutorial?
Thanks

Do a search on Google for "related selects in ColdFusion".

Error message when populating drop-down list with mysql DB

Hi everyone,
i'm having an error message which gives zero result on google...
here's the context: i have a drop-down list called "Patient" in the template pages of a livecycle form. The binding is set to Global so that the value is the same on the two pages of the form. I have also linked the items of the list to a mysql database (with DataConnection) by clicking the "Specify Item Values" link on the Binding tab of the element.
now, when i open my form (or preview) i get this message, in french:
"Propriété incorrecte de l'opération SET; dataGroup ne possède pas de propriété id."
which is, in english (personal translation):
"Incorrect property of the SET operation; dataGroup doesn't have an id property."
this message appears in a messagebox, the background is empty (standard gray color)
Then i click "OK" (which is the only button available), and my form appears, the list is populated with the values of my database table, so it actually works...
As i said, i have zero results on google with this message...
any idea what it means and how to avoid it?
Thanks!

Hi,

Dynamic table with dynamic drop-down list values

Hi,
I need to display a dynamic table with 2 columns on an interactive form.
My Context is defined as below:
Root
StudentData     0..n
StudentName
StudentCourses     0..n
Text
Value
The 1st column should display student name, 2nd column should display student courses. The courses will be different for each student. I populated the context properly. I checked it by printing them. My DDL is bound to "Student Courses".
When there is one row -> The DDL is populated with the courses of student 1 (as there is only one).
When there are more rows -> The DDLs for all the students are populated with all the courses of all the students.
I want to see the data populated like:
TEXTFIELD    DROP-DOWN LIST
Student 1------Student1-Course1
Student1-Course2
Student1-Course3
Student 2------Student2-Course1
Student2-Course2
Student2-Course3
I tried to do this in plain web dynpro using SVS.. it is also working similarly.
I have set the singleton property of nodes "StudentData" and "StudentCourses" to false.
Could any one tell me where I am going wrong?
Thanks
Ram

Ram,
I'm not sure how much this will help, but I know I had the same problem as you when I tried to get a similar thing working, but I can't remember which of the many changes I made fixed the problem, so I'll just show you my code and perhaps you can see if anything is different than yours.
Here's where I'm creating my dropdown - in my case EastNew_RegOut is the same as your StudentData, and RateTypeDropValues is the same as your StudentCourses (the comments in the code are not meant to sound bossy to you, this is actually an example piece of code that other developers in my company "steal", so I have to put very specific instructions in there!):
int nodeSize = wdContext.nodeEastNew_RegOut().size();
for (int i = 0; i < nodeSize; i++) {
     //create an element called "table", that's the element at i. So, basically it's a row. Maybe I should have
     //called it "row" instead of table.
     IPublicDeviceExchange.IEastNew_RegOutElement table = (IPublicDeviceExchange.IEastNew_RegOutElement)wdContext.nodeEastNew_RegOut().getElementAt(i);
     //this line of code just executes an rfc that finds out what rates need to be in the dropdown for this particular row
     executeRateTypeDropdown(rateCategory, table.getNum(), wdContext.currentEastNew_MeterOutElement().getReggrp());
     //clear out what's already in there before we re-populate it.
     table.nodeRateTypeDropValues().invalidate();
     //now, I'm looping through all the values in the *actual* rate type dropdown (the one that's an RFC, populated by the above "execute" method)
     for (int j = 0; j < wdContext.nodeEastRatetype_DropdownOut().size(); j++) {
          //for each element in the *actual* Rate type dropdown, I'm going to create an element in my node that I created
          //and set the values from the *actual* one as the values in my node.
                    IPublicDeviceExchange.IRateTypeDropValuesElement element = wdContext.createRateTypeDropValuesElement();
          IPublicDeviceExchange.IEastRatetype_DropdownOutElement rateTypeOut = (IPublicDeviceExchange.IEastRatetype_DropdownOutElement)wdContext.nodeEastRatetype_DropdownOut().getElementAt(j);
          element.setText(rateTypeOut.getText());
          element.setValue(rateTypeOut.getRatetype());
          //here's another key - notice how I don't say wdContext.nodeRateTypeDropValues() - it's the one that's
          //directly off that table I created earlier - the thing that's essentially a row in my newReg table.
          //So, what I'm doing here is adding that new element I created to the dropdown FOR THAT ROW!
          //(btw, if you're trying to duplicate this, and this method does not exist for your "table" object, it's
          //probably because you didn't listen to me above and you didn't create your node with the singleton property
          //set to false.)
          table.nodeRateTypeDropValues().addElement(element);
As for my layout... my table is bound to the EastNew_RegOut node, and the column with the dropdown is bound to RateTypeDropValues.Value (that's probably obvious, but there you have it anyway)
Finally, in my context, EastNew_RegOut is singleton = true (I was surprised about this, actually, I would have assumed it was false) with a selection of 0..1 and RateTypeDropValues has singleton set to false with a selection of 0..1
I hope that helps to some degree!

Getting problem in hiding drop down list in jsp pages

Hi All,
I have a jsp in which i created a tabbed panel & put 3 forms .

Clicking on any one of the tab corresponding form is getting displayed with all its form fields hiding other 2 form fields.
but problem is coming with 1 form having drop down list.
all its field get hidden except these drop down list.
i am using following script to hide other forms
function showit(tab){
    if(tab == "tab1stuff"){
        document.getElementById('tab1stuff').style.zIndex="2";
        document.getElementById('tab2stuff').style.zIndex="1";
        document.getElementById('tab3stuff').style.zIndex="1";
          document.getElementById('tab4stuff').style.zIndex="1";
    else if(tab == "tab2stuff"){
        document.getElementById('tab2stuff').style.zIndex="2";
        document.getElementById('tab1stuff').style.zIndex="1";

        document.getElementById('tab1stuff').style.zIndex="1";
        document.getElementById('tab2stuff').style.zIndex="1";
          document.getElementById('tab4stuff').style.zIndex="1";
}Plz help me in this regard.
I used style.visible="false" but that is not working here.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks you very much.
Now I am using javascript
if(tab == "tab1stuff"){
        document.getElementById('tab1stuff').style.visibility="visible";
        document.getElementById('tab2stuff').style.visibility="hidden";
        document.getElementById('tab3stuff').style.visibility="hidden";
        document.getElementById('tab4stuff').style.visibility="hidden";
    } Its working ..Earliar it was PHP script.

Populating Drop-down List in Interactive Forms for Java

Hi,all
I need to populate a drop-down list in Interactive Form.
I tried to do it by using Dynamic Properties of the drop-down
list,but didn't give nothing.At the same time I have successfully
populated a simple drop-down list(on webdynpro view),which I
replaced near my InteractiveForm.
What may be the problem?
Regards,
Michael

Use the DDL from the Web Dynpro pallette. Bind the same/ similar attribute of the DDL you used in the web Dynpro view in the interactive form also... this should work..
Thanks and Regards,

To pass the selected data to a variable from the drop down list in abap wd

Hi,
I have already created a drop down list and populated it with data from table by using the node and linking it with the internal table. Now I need to know which element is selected so based on that I need to perform some function. eg. based on the selected data , i need to populate the next drop down list.
A demo code will be really helpful.
Thanks and Regards
Tenzin

Hi,
On selcting the value from the drop down, we have one event ONSELECT.
Write the code in this event.
Get the attribute value to lV_xxxxxx using get attribute.
then using that you can fill the next DDBK attribute.
method wddoinit .
data:
        lo_nd_spfli type ref to if_wd_context_node,
        lo_el_spfli type ref to if_wd_context_element,
        ls_spfli type wd_this->element_spfli.
data:
      lv_carrid LIKE ls_sflight-carrid,
         itab_carrid type wd_this->elements_spfli,
         wa_carrid type wd_this->element_spfli,
         lo_nodeinfo_spfli type ref to if_wd_context_node_info,
         lt_value_set type wdy_key_value_table,
         ls_value_set type wdy_key_value.
lo_nd_spfli = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_spfli ).
lo_nodeinfo_spfli = lo_nd_spfli->get_node_info( ).
select carrid
    from spfli
    into corresponding fields of table itab_carrid.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    sort itab_carrid by carrid.
    delete adjacent duplicates from itab_carrid comparing carrid.
endif.
loop at itab_carrid into wa_carrid.
    ls_value_set-key = wa_carrid-carrid.
    ls_value_set-value = wa_carrid-carrid.
    append ls_value_set to lt_value_set.
endloop.
lo_nodeinfo_spfli->set_attribute_value_set( name = 'CARRID'
value_set = lt_value_set ).
endmethod.
in the event of first DDBK, write the select statement wsing where condition of lv_XXX.
and append the record as above.

sarath

How am I best programing this type of query, ?? Should it be with php ??

The best thing is to dynamically build your where clause based on the user selection. Test the values of all form fields and if the user does not make a selection, do not include that in the where clause.
Trying to build a single, static where clause that accounts for all possible user input permutations is extremely difficult.

Help with Hidden Drop Down Lists in RBList subforms

I have created a form that contains 3 isolated Radio Button lists, each with hidden subforms that are unique per each button.
Two of my RBLists and subforms work perfectly, showing hidden Drop Down List options and other fields as they should when a button is selected.
However, RBList3 presents the Drop Down lists as user entry fields only. Each hidden subform in RBList3 contains one drop down menu and one text box for instructions.
I've used the same javascript to hide/show hidden fields when buttons are selected. All settings seem to match up. Here is a sample of my code:
if(RBList3.F.rawValue != 2)
    this.presence = "hidden";
    newsubform.presence = "hidden";
else if(RBList3.F.rawValue == 2)
    this.presence = "visible";
    newsubform.presence = "hidden";
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to make my Drop Down Lists in RBList3 show as functional Drop lists?
I have attached the form for reference.

Hi Paul,
I see that the code works for radio button G selection in the change event. However, what I really need to happen...is for the RBList options to be present on the screen without any subform data until the user clicks button E, F or G. If either E or F is selected, then the drop list and the text box would pop up as you currently have them placed on screen.
My original problem was that the EdgeDropDown2 list loses its functionality when wrapped in a hidden subform (i.e. SubformE or SubformF).
Can I add code to the change event to make EdgeDropDown2 and PanzDrawTxt appear only if either E or F are chosen. The code you wrote below works only for G selection.
if(this.rawValue != 3)
    EdgeDropDown2.presence = "visible";
    PanzDrawTxt.presence = "visible";
    EdgePanelChkBxTxt.presence = "hidden";
}else {
    PanzDrawTxt.presence = "hidden";
    EdgeDropDown2.presence = "hidden";
    EdgePanelChkBxTxt.presence = "visible";

Dynamically Populating Drop Down Lists

Hi,
I am trying to dynamically populate a drop down list on a form based on a selection in another drop down list. I have read the help file "To dynamically populate a second field after populating the first" which goes through an example, however I cannot get this example to work for me.
I know that the best way to do it is to create an xml file and connect the form to this file. I am new to programming in xml but have had some experience in other forms. The code that I have (from the help page) looks like this;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MyData>
   <country/>
   <countries>
      <item uiname="United States" token="US"/>
      <item uiname="Vietnam" token="SRV"/>
   </countries>
   <state/>
   <US>
      <item>California</item>
      <item>New York</item>
      <item>Texas</item>
   </US>
   <SRV>
      <item>An Giang</item>
      <item>Bac Giang</item>
      <item>Bac Kan</item>
   </SRV>
</MyData>
I have then followed the instructions on the page, and am unable to populate either field on my form. Perhaps there is something wrong with my code? Or any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Hi Paul,
I have another question,
I would now like to populate a third drop down menu based on the selection in the second one, however my code is going wrong somewhere as now when I put in the first 2 drop down lists, nothing appears in the second one. ie, the first drop down list I link to countries, and the second to state, as I did with the previous file, but now, when I preview it, I can choose a country, but nothing comes up in state. When I set the first drop down box to countries, I have to specify that I want it to show the uiname, but I can't do that with the second one when I select state using the XML file below, nothing is shown. Where am I going wrong?
<MyData>
   <Country/>
   <countries>
      <item uiname="United States" token="US"/>
      <item uiname="Vietnam" token="SRV"/>
   </countries>
   <state/>
   <US>
      <item uiname="California" token="CA"/>
      <item uiname="New York" token="NY"/>
      <item uiname="Texas" token="TEX"/>
   </US>
   <SRV>
      <item uiname="An Giang" token="AG"/>
      <item uiname="Ban Giang" token="BG"/>
      <item uiname="Bac Kan" token="BK"/>
   </SRV>
   <time/>
   <CA>
      <item>6</item>
      <item>7</item>
   </CA>
   <NY>
      <item>5</item>
      <item>4</item>
   </NY>

      <item>3</item>
      <item>8</item>
   </TEX>

   </AG>
   <BG>
      <item>1</item>
   </BG>
   <BK>
      <item>9</item>
   </BK>
</MyData>
Thank you for your help!

Populating drop down list in a table cell-urgent

Hi all
I have a problem. I want to populate a dropdown list in a table cell. can anybody tell me the step by step procedure for that.
I am doing it generally. not using R/3
I am creating sub node like u have mentioned. I haven't done it using wizard.
Is there any difference in the way we populate this list?
My root node is expense. Inside that some value attributes are there. For the drop down list i've created a sub node 'extype'.
I am getting error.
it is:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.context.ContextException: Node(EREmpHomeView.expense.extype): cannot bind or add elements because the node has no valid parent
Following is the code i've written.
IPrivateEREmpHomeView.IExtypeElement el;
          IPrivateEREmpHomeView.IExtypeNode nd=wdContext.nodeExpense().nodeExtype();
          el=wdContext.nodeExpense().nodeExtype().createExtypeElement();
          el.setEtype("Travel");
          nd.addElement(el);
Sill i'm getting the same error
Hi Nidhideep
Error has gone with the code that Mr Anil has given. But there is no value in the List. Dropdown list is coming as a blank list.
Thanks and Regards

hi
Aparna try this code:
1. Context description at design time:
Value-Node "myNode", collection type=list, cardinality=0..n, selection=0..n
and the attribute:
Value attributes myValue, type="String".
2. The corresponding Java source code example that you create in the wdDoInit method of the controller implementation:
// The ISimpleTypeModifiable interface enables access to
//a data type instance that can be modified at runtime:
ISimpleTypeModifiable myType =
   wdThis.wdGetAPI().getContext.getModifiableTypeOf(.myNode.myValue);
//Sets the label text for this data type.
myType.setFieldLabel(New label)
//Sets the valid values of this data type. The individual elements are inserted
//when the put method is called and
//and the value set is filled with the appropriate
//key value pair.
IModifiableSimpleValueSet values =
   getSVService().myType.getModifiableValueSet();
values.put(key_1,Mister);
values.put(key_2,Mistress);
values.put(key_3,Miss);

Adobe LiveCycle Designer working with 2 drop down list, one response triggers the other

I am fairly new to Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2, but I would like to have a drop down list of managers and another drop down list of employees.
I would like this set up in such a way where the manager can click on their own name in the manager list and have a drop down list appear which is only populated with their directly reporting employees. They can then click on the individual employee they are going to report on.
Then there will be several questions pertaining to the individual direct report, etc. (This part I can do)
Is this possible?
If so, please provide detailed instructions for me to try.
Thank you in advance.

Put this in the change event of your Manager drop down:
var myObj={"Manager 1":"Employee A,Employee B,Employee C",
"Manager 2":"Employee D,Employee E",
"Manager 3":"Employee F,Employee G, Employee H"};
DropDownList2.setItems(myObj[this.boundItem(xfa.event.newText)]);
This is assuming the list of items in that dropdown is "Manager 1", "Manager 2", "Manager 3".
And DropDownList2 is the name of your Employee drop down.

Populating drop down lists

Greetings
I have created a form in Acrobat XI Pro with 3+ text fields which populate a drop down list. My problem is that when I duplicate the Drop down, which I need to do around 50 times, each selection resets all the drop downs to that choice.
The Drop down fields have a Javascript action added to call a single Javascript.
function popDropdown()
    var myBlocks = [];
        myBlocks.push("Select from Drop down");
    if (this.getField("Block1").value != "")
        myBlocks.push(this.getField("Block1").value);
    if (this.getField("Block2").value != "")
        myBlocks.push(this.getField("Block2").value);
    if (this.getField("Block3").value != "")
        myBlocks.push(this.getField("Block3").value);
    this.getField("select").clearItems();
    this.getField("select").setItems(myBlocks);

Here is the problem: You are modifying the dropdown configuration every time somebody moves the mouse over one of the dropdowns. Every time you set the data in the dropdown list, it will always reset the selection to the first item.
I would remove all embedded JavaScripts, and all "On Focus" triggers for the dropdowns and the text fields. Then create a new text field that uses the following script as it's custom calculation script:
// global calculation script
// take the information from Block1..Block3 and
// initialize the dropdown lists
var aDropdownListData = [];
aDropdownListData.push("Select from Drop down");
aDropdownListData.push(this.getField("Block1").value);
aDropdownListData.push(this.getField("Block2").value);
aDropdownListData.push(this.getField("Block3").value);
var lDropdowns = ["select1", "select2", "select3" ];
for (var i in lDropdowns) {
// get the currently selected item in the dropdown list
var f = this.getField(lDropdowns[i]);
var a = f.currentValueIndices;
var item = "";
if (typeof a == "number") {    // A single selection
    item = f.getItemAt(a, false);
else {     // Multiple selections
    item = f.getItemAt(a[0], false);
f.setItems(aDropdownListData);
// select the previously selected item again
for (var i in aDropdownListData) {
    if (aDropdownListData[i] == item) {
      f.currentValueIndices = [ i ];
Now set this new field to read-only and hidden. This will take care of modifying the dropdown controls whenever you modify one of the text fields. It will also make sure that whatever setting was selected, will be selected again after this change (unless that value is no longer available).
