Redirect or submit

I have a page that is rather heavy to load (has 2 fairly large queries that are the source of 2 report regions). One of the regions returns rows that contain an href that takes the user to a second page where some data is displayed.Now the user may go back to that first page and if he/she does I don't want it to reload (doesn't need to 'cause' nothing has changed). The back button works (I believe) as I would like my child tab menu to work. So I guess I need to use a Redirect ?
But how do I manage allowing the submit the very first time they navigate to that page as opposed to subsequent navigations. Is this a common issue ...?
Many thanks for your replies.

very first time
Not sure I understand your question. What is the difference between the very first time and subsequent page views?
You can have your report column links open in a new window using popupURL() or target=_blank (under link attributes), this way your "heavy" page is always visible, no need to re-render it.

NEW FEATURE: Redirect after Submit

We just released the Redirect after Submit feature on Friday (6/24/11). This has been a very commonly asked for feature. The problem is this - how do I get the respondent back to my website once they successfully filled out the form. Currently the respondent ends on the confirmation page and has to manually navigate back to your website - which is far from optimal.
This feature is part of the Basic and Plus plans; and it can be found on the "Options" tab under the "Redirect URL" section. This option will work on previously created forms as well as new forms.
Here is what the UI looks like:
You have two redirect options:
Redirect back to the first page of the form - Why would you ever want to do that?? If respondents are filling the form out in person (like an event registration) at a kiosk-like computer or tablet then this feature allows you to automatically redirect back to the beginning of the form (and it will be empty) so the next person in line can fill it out.
Redirect to a specific URL - Type in the URL to the website you want to redirect and set the amount of time the user sees the confirmation page (the minimum time is 5 seconds).
Now when the user Submits the data the confirmation page will look something like this:
After 5 seconds it will automatically redirect back to your website or to the beginning of the form depending on the option you chose.
Enjoy!

The difference is web forms are used in browsers and PDF forms are often not. Web servers have always been able to return a redirect response that causes the browser to load the specified URL. Most PDF viewers don't know what to do with such a response, but Adobe Reader/Acrobat do know what to do with an FDF response, which is what FormsCentral returns and results in the popup message that you see. PDF forms can be loaded in a browser or directly in Reader/Acrobat or non-Adobe PDF viewer, but in both cases the viewer doesn't know what to do with an HTML redirect response from a web server. This is outside of the control of FormsCentral so it would require a change in the way Reader/Acrobat behaves.
There is a technique that can be used in PDF viewers that support the app.launchURL JavaScript method (http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/11/Acrobat11_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.89.155.html) and loading form data or triggering JavaScript returned in an FDF, but this method isn't currently supported in the mobile versions of Adobe Reader, so it would only be a partial solution even if FormsCentral were to return the appropriate FDF response.

Add redirect to Submit button on PDF Form

I need someone that knows javascript to help me out!
I have saved the FormsCentral PDF Form locally and opened it up with Acrobat Pro XI, saved it as a copy, and then opened the new document in Acrobat Pro XI. I am able to see the javascript that the FormsCentral Submit button placed in the form.
How can I get the submit button to do what it is supposed to do (below), but then when its completed it should redirect to a different web page that I specify in the javascript code - in the SAME window, not in a new window.
The submit button javascript code looks like this:
var url = 'https://adobeformscentral.com/pdfsubmit?f=bbbbbbbbbbbb';
var qParams = '&os=' + app.platform + '&sl=' + app.language + '&spv=1';
var fIndex = url.indexOf('#FDF');
url = url.substr(0, fIndex) + qParams + url.substr(fIndex);
var charset = 'utf-8';
if (app.language == 'JPN')
charset = 'Shift-JIS';
this.submitForm({cURL:url, cSubmitAs:'HTML', cCharset:charset});
Do I need to add a location.href = "http://mydomain.com/completedpdf"; to make the current window then load the completedpdf web page? And how do I add the command to the end of this javascript?
Or is there some other javascript I should use?
Thank you for your help!

This is a question that is better suited for the Acrobat forums.

Selectlist with redirect

Hallo reader,
I need some help with a form with say 10 items.
There are two selectlist(with redirect). After selecting (choice) clears all other items. Do you have a solution?
If I change the selectlist from redirect to submit than it hold the values but then I have validation errors(because it is to early for submitting the page. some values are still empty). The solution is then to use Button pressed condition(validation).
My question is: Is the possible to do it with Selectlist with redirect and hold the other values?
Thanks.
Walter

Hi,
Which version of Apex?
It is possible through use of the f?p=...item(s):value(s) syntax.
1. Change the Redirect to Page to Redirect to URL
2. In the URL set the items on P1 as follows
f?p=&APP_ID.:2:&SESSION.::NO::P1_ITEM1,P1_ITEM2,P1_ITEM3:&P1_ITEM1.,&P1_ITEM2.,&P1_ITEM3.In Apex 4 you have Select List with Setting Redirect and Set Value
Regards,

Redirect confirmation page

How do I redirect the web form confirmation page to a custom page? Somewhere in the code for the form?

Yes, either by adding manually &PageID=XXX to the action code:
<form action="/FormProcessv2.aspx?WebFormID=10090&PageID=XXX&OID={module_oid}&OTYPE={module_otype}&EID={module_eid}&CID={module_cid}">
or you can use the built-in functionality: More Actions > Get HTML code > "Redirect after submit": enter url.

Redirecting a request

Hello,
I am developing a website that will have registered users. Some pages will require the user to be registered in order to access them. My goal is to delay the sign in or registration until it is absolutely necessary (i.e. when the user attempts to access a page that requires them to be registered and signed in).
That is the simple part. I just create a filter that performs authorization on the requested resource. If the user needs to sign in, then the authorization filter redirects him/her to the sign in page.
The hard part is redirecting the user back to the original page once he/she is signed in. It is hard because I must be able to handle both GET and POST requests, so I can't just store the URL.
Take the following example:
1. The user types some information into a form and submits it via a POST request.
2. In order to actually save the information in the form, I have to know WHO the user is, so he/she is redirected to the sign in page.
3. He/she signs in.
4. Now I need to redirect them back to the page that the form was submitted to AND I need to send it the data that they submitted using a POST request.
The organization of the page is such that I cannot force them to sign in before they see the form. I assure you, my reasoning for this is just, but it is beyond the scope of this topic, so please don't bring it up.
I have a good method for storing the request for later: when the authorization filter redirects the user to the sign in page, it stores all of the information about the request, include the parameters, the method (GET, POST, etc.), the URL, and whether or not it requires SLL (https). It stores all of this information in the user's session and assigns it a unique ID number, which is passed to the sign in page. The idea is that once the user signs in, one of my actions or filters can read the ID number and load that request's information. That way I don't have to continue to pass along the request's data--only the ID number of the request.
My problem is what to do once the user has signed in and I know what request ID to load and redirect them to. The most obvious way is to just create an invisible form as follows:
URL: /redirect?id=5
<form id="redirect" method="${requestMethod}" action="${requestURL}">
<c:forEach items="${requestParameters}" var="requestParam">
<input type="hidden" name="${requestParam.key}" value="${requestParam.value}" />
</c:forEach>
<%-- Fallback button in case user has JavaScript disabled --%>
<input type="submit" value="Continue" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
var form = document.getElementById("redirect");
form.submit();
</script>This works, but it will waste a request and isn't quite as elegant as I would like.
Any ideas?
Also, do you see any security issues with storing the request's data in the user's session?

if (!request.isSecure()) response.sendRedirect("https://me.com/page.jsp");
(or visa versa)

Creating dynamic URL parameters

I need to access the form value j_username to create a dynamic url but the following JSP code snippet is putting a blank value into �username�. This is before the form is submitted.
Any ideas ?
<input type="button" name="btnPassword" value="Password?" onClick=
"<c:url var="emailMyPwdUrl" value="secure/MailPasswd.do">
                 <c:param name="username"
                 value= "${document.loginForm.j_username.value}"/>
</c:url>
<input type="button" name="btnPassword" value="Password?"
onClick="document.location='${emailMyPwdUrl}';"> ">         I also tried with JavaScript and am having the same problem!
function getLogin() {
    var user = document.loginForm.j_username.value;
    if ( user == '' ) {
            alert( 'No User Name Entered');
      else {
            alert('User Name Entered:' + user);
            <c:url var="emailMyPwdUrl" value="secure/MailPasswd.do">
                    <c:param name="username"
                     value= "${document.loginForm.j_username.value}"/>
            </c:url>
     document.location='${emailMyPwdUrl}';
}

Thanks for your reply,
So basically when the user presses the "btnPassword" button I want to get the value "j_username" from the form and then redirect (no submit!)to "secure/MailPasswd.do" with parameter "username".
I do not want to submit the form when "btnPassword" is pressed as this will cause the "j_security_check" action to take place.
I am correctly redirected to "secure/MailPasswd.do" but the problem is the parameter "username" is blank when I try to getParameter on the "secure/MailPasswd.do" page.
So am I setting the c:param username correctly ?
Here is the full JSP page as I pasted it incorrectly the last time...
c:set var="fullPath" value="${pageContext.request.contextPath}"/>
<form name="loginForm" method="post" action="j_security_check">

JQuery Mobile and page transitions in Apex - how do they go together?

Hi guys,
I started off on a jQuery Mobile project with APEX - although I am still quite new to both. I have done quite a bit of research, but I haven't found really anything substantial about how they go together.
Rather it appears to me, that both have their own way of dealing, that is to say recieving and sending data. Apex with normal http-requests, just a little AJAX on the side maybe, JQM almost only with AJAX.
So I am running into a lot of trouble, when I use functions like apex.redirect() or .submit(), the $mobile.changePage() mostly doesnt how I want. Page content often stays in the DOM with JQM unwanted, data are sometimes not refreshed properly, or when I close a popup box, an unwanted reload takes place. Events are not bound the usual way, etc. etc.
I certainly thoroughly have studied the JQM documentation, looked through many other tutorials and blogs, but basically I still lack in a lot of basic understanding, especially the communication between JQM and APEX - after all, the APEX Smart Phone UI from 4.2 is still quite new. And all tutorials about data management with JQM deal with JSON objects or XML - methods we can't get into due to time reasons.
I have two questions to the community:
A) Is it really recommendable to use a JQM framework with the "normal" page-show and page-submit events, that APEX delivers? Or if not recommendable, is it practical?
B) Maybe some experienced users here can hint me to some recourses that specifically deal with the issues I mentioned above: e.g. How does JQM handle the urls it gets, when you use the APEX javascript functions? What global JQM settings are recommendable when using APEX, or what object-parameters should you use in the $.mobile.changePage() call?
And one specific problem I just ran into: How does JQM treat Page-0 items? I use them for global application control, but for some strange reasons, they sometimes seem to be resettet.
So these are a lot of questions, but I don't seek detailed answers here, rather some general guidence and advise. Any help is most appreciated.
So long, with best regards,
tobi

I will up this thread one time - what I normally wont do. But if noone can give any hints here this would be a really bad sign.
I have kept on looking for those topics, but I still haven't found anything that goes into detail regarding APEX and JQM.
Also one last wierd situation I would like to relate, that just occured: I submit a page with apex.submit('CREATE'), the dml-processing takes place, there is an unconditional branch after the processing back to that page, so it should be reloaded and refreshed - but it doesn't. Instead when I open a select list (JQM popup style), then the page gets refreshed, and the popup wont close anymore. I have no explanation for this. I hope, anyone can give me any hints.
Thanks very much,

Disable checkbox lists while clicking Radio button

Hi ,
I have a checkbox list come from LOV based on a select from database table.
I have added a Radiobutton only (not redirect not submit since I have to restrict the option as this is based on requirement).Now I want to disable the checkbox while I am clicking the radio button .
Is it any way possible .
Thanks in advance .
Cheers,
Debashis.

ok, I create two radio buttons (Enable and Disable)(P8_RADIO). I created a LOV of users with checkboxes (P8_CHECK). When I click on disable all the checkboxes are disabled and enabled when I click on enable.
First add this to your radio
P8_RADIO's HTML Form Element Attributes
onclick="disable(this)"
Then, add this to the page HTML Header
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
**note**p_v02 is the name of the checkboxes.
Hopefully this will help you and i explained it better than I did last time

Simple query form

This should be pretty simple, but I am not quite getting the desired effect.
I have
1. a static select list,
2. a popup lov depending on the value chosen in the select list,
3. another popup lov based on a fixed query and
4. another static select list.
5. A Go button that gathers all the inputs and populates a query region.
In order for the selection made in (1) to reflect in (2), I made (1) a 'select list with redirect' so that the value is saved in session state and can be used in (2).
The Go button created a after submit branch back to the same page, I added a button condition 'when button pressed=Go' to this.
I also added a request=Go to the branch and made the query region conditional on request=Go.
Question:
Lets say I go thru my first set of selections and press Go and my query results show up. Now when I select another value from the list in (1), the page refreshes and my query results are gone! The 'select list with redirect' shouldnt submit the page, should it? So the query region should stay what it was? The only thing that should refresh the query region should be the Go button.
What am I missing? Or is there a better way to do what I am trying?
Thanks

Hello.
Sorry but I quite do not understand.
You want to get PART DETAILS (P) only for PARTS which is supplied by all supliers?
If it is true. Try this.
You will get PARTS which is supplied by all supliers.
select count(1), P# from SP having count(1)=(select count(1) from S) group by P#
Get details is only use this SQL as subquery.

How to ensure that refreshed page is displayed after an update?

I have a page with “Form” region. I’ve used “Table” for “Create a data entry form based on”. The form works as it should, but I have set the same page to go to after “Save” or “Apply Changes” button is pressed. Now whenever I change any field at the page via my form I get back to the same page, but the changes are NOT visible. I need to go to a different page and then back to my page with table form to see new/updated data.
Is there a way of enforcing the refresh/re-query of the data after I click on Apply Changes/Save button?
jarola has suggested the following topic: Branch to URL identify session and record ID
However, when I follow the suggestion and add "Optional URL Redirect" to the same page (76) for "Apply Changes" button, and configure "Set These Items" with "With These Values" then the values entered via the form are NOT saved at all. If I remove "Optional URL Redirect" (I set "Target is a" to "- No Target -") then the data is at least saved when I click on "Apply Changes".
Thank you for your time.
Daniel

I am gathering that what you want is for the user to make some changes, save the data, and be left with a refreshed page showing the new values, right?
I order to save the data, the form usually has to perform some kind of submit action. Therefore, do not use a URL redirect. The only time you can use that is if your URL redirect calls javascript which in turn does a submit. But if you just redirect, no submit is done.
Make sure whatever the user does to initiate processing is doing a submit. This usually is by clicking a button whose action is "no target" (this equates to some sort of submit action).
Then, make sure this submit action invokes whatever process it is that does the save to the database. Check the row processng that was created during the wizard creation of the form and make sure that any conditions on it are such that it fires based on your request value or the button in question being pressed.
(Actually this brings up a question...if after the save action, can you see updated data in the database via SQL*Plus or SQL*Developer (or whatever database query tool) but just not in Apex? This will at least tell you if the data is being saved and it's just an application presentation issue or not.)
Then, make sure any proper page branches are firing. Again, look at the conditions and/or button-pressed settings. I think for this sort of thing I would clear the cache for your page via the page branch settings, and then do a "set these items..." and "with these values..." such that you are setting the PK values of the record with the existing PK values of the record you are dealing with. (I guess this assumes this form does the usual automated row fetch during loading if the PK values are not null. Is this the case?)

Submit Action and Redirect page in Tabular form Column Link

Hi All,
I have a scenario to submit the current page and redirect to another page with the arguments, when i clink on the link which is created using column link in Report Attributes.
I can able to perform the submit action, but redirection is not happening.
Created a column link on non database column by providing
Link Attribute : <a href="#" onclick="doSubmit('SAVE')">#FAM_DET#</a>
Target : Page in this application
Page : 7
Item name : P7_TRAVEL_REQ_ID
item Value: #TRAVEL_REQ_ID#
Item name : P7_TRAVEL_REQ_LINE_ID
item Value: #TRAVEL_REQ_LINE_ID#
Can anyone help me out to resolve this.

Remove the link attribute (what you have used there is not the correct way to use this property anyway).
Change the target page to the same page as the report.
Set the Column Link Request property to BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT|SAVE.
Create an On Submit: After Processing (After Computation, Validation, and Processing) branch to page 7, conditional on the SAVE request.
If the SAVE request can be triggered by something other than the report link (e.g. a Save button) then use another request value that will trigger the required page process in the link request and branch condition, e.g. BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT|APPLY and APPLY respectively.
Note that there is a bug in BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT processing in APEX 4.2.3 and a patchset exception must be installed for this approach to work on this APEX release.

How to redirect to same oaf page on "Submit"

Hi,
I had a requirement that i need to call a procedure when "SUBMIT" button is clicked to validate the data on the review page. For this i need to extend the seeded controller (NavigationCO on "oracle.apps.per.selfservice.review.webui"). In the seeded controller on submit button click it's redirecting to the final confirmation page. But now i need to validate the data on Submit button click and throw an exception if the data is invalid. If the data is valid i need the same seeded controller code to be executed.
For testing purpose i tried to the following code to throw an exception when submit button is clicked. I tried using the following code but its displaying an error on click submit.
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
if (pageContext.getParameter("HrSubmit") != null) {
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
pageContext.forwardImmediatelyToCurrentPage(null,true, "Y");
throw new OAException("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX");
}else{
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
Please help me out its very urgent.

I tried to use the below code and tried to redirect it to the same page but its throwing an error.
