Reusable Authentication module with page fragments

Hi,
I have an authentication module(as ADF library) with page fragments in an ADF task flow and trying to reuse in other ADF apps.
In the consuming application , i have a login page with the resuable authentication task flow dragged and dropped into a region and the ADF library added to the project.
When i enable the ADF security for the consuming application, the region does not show up when i run it.
i have anonymous role assigned to the Auth module's page fragment's def file and the task flow itself.
If i remove it, the components with the region show up.
Could you help me on what am i doing wrong with ADF security.
Without a reusable ADF library and having the authentication module built into the consuming app, everything works fine.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am using ADF & Jdev 11g Ps2.
Thanks.

Hi Anton,
You can treat the fragment as any page, its going to have its own pageDef that will be included automatically by the page containing its task flow within a fragment (assuming you're using the data control/component drag-drop feature in JDeveloper). This is actually one of the best working feature of 11g imho.

How to pass parameter through URL to bounded task flow with page fragment

I want to pass parameter to Bounded Task Flow With Page Fragment trough URL
as I start this taks flow with router and according to this Param I will rout the user.
I added input param to taks flow named direction and make the task flow called URL invoke url-invoke-allowed
<input-parameter-definition id="__41">
      <name id="__42">direction</name>
      <value>#{pageFlowScope.direction}</value>
      <class>java.lang.String</class>
    </input-parameter-definition>but I don't know how to add this to the JSPX that I will add the bounded task flow Inside.
and How to pass this from URL

Hi,
url-invoke-allowed is only required if the task flow itself is directly accessible from a browser (which is not the case at all if the task flow uses page fragments). To pass input parameters to a task flow that is embedded in a region and that has input parameters, you define the input parameters on the taskFlow Id that is created in the PageDef file of the containing page. To learn ADF task flows, have a look at the videos below. They also contain a sample for passing parameters to a region

Has anyone every try using the iplanet portal server radius authentication module with cryptoCard?

We are using the easyRadius server from CryptoCARD. When we run the radius server in debug mode, it appears ips is sending multiple access-request message. Also, the server is coming back with a challenge which we are not expecting.

yes,
we did basic integration where the authentication will be done using siteminder. The trick is to protect the portal server web server and not the gateway. You also need to add a new authentication module for siteminder in the portal using ipsadmin. We are protecting the login html page only. We couldn't protect the desktop because it's built using servlets.

CSS with page fragments does not seem to work

Hi,
I am using creator 2 update 1 and I have some problems setting styleClass to a page fragment, I read some older posts about this issue but I couldn't find a solution for this.
I have a navigation fragment that holds simple hyperlinks inside.
I want to give all the hyperlinks the same background-image so I create a new entry in the default resources/stylesheet.css of my project and try to set it to each hyperlink in its styleless entry in its properties.
1. first you can't choose a styleClass for the fragment when clicking on (...) - it does not show any style class
2. when I just set it by hand to the property , the creator does not have an effect on the hyperlinks (their style is not changed) , if I put for each hyperlink in its "Inline" style (property style) all the values that defined in the styleClass I want to use then the results are fine but this mean I need to take care of the style for each hyperlink alone and not use the styleClass ...
Any ideas?
thanks.

OK, I found what the problem was: the URL to the background-image was wrong, only when I picked the image through the css editor it got the correct URL to the image and displayed it in all the hyperlinks

Bounded-Task-Flow Page Fragment Control Flow Help

jDeveloper: 11.1.1.0.2
I am having an issue trying to figure out the correct way to use control flow cases between a bounded-task-flow with page fragments and an unbounded-task-flow page. We have taken the approach in our application to have a few shell / container pages to host bounded-task-flows made up of page fragments to facilitate re-usability and to speed up development. There are 4 or 5 shell pages on the applications unbounded-task-flow. As of now, we have about 20 page fragments that are implemented as bounded-task-flows. These fragments don't do much now, meaning there is only a single fragment in each bounded-task-flow. The issue I am having is trying to invoke a control flow navigation action from one of the fragments to load a different shell page.
For Example, shellPage1.jspx contains fragment-flow-1 as a region. In my adfc-config.xml I have shellPage1.jspx and shellPage2.jspx, with control flow cases "toShell1" and "toShell2" respectively connecting the two pages. I have a link's action bound to the "toShell2" within the fragment that makes up fragment-flow-1. When the application is run, shellPage1.jspx and its fragment are displayed. But clicking on the link in the fragment ("toShell2") does absolutely nothing. It does not navigate me to the shellPage2.jspx as expected. What am I doing wrong here or do not understand?
If the fragment is included as a JSP include, and not a bounded task flow include, everything works as expected. This is not desirable as we then need to copy the fragment's pageDef into the shellPage's pageDef to get the DataControls to function.
If the faces-config.xml is used instead, and a JSF navigation case is used, it will also work as expected. This is not desirable because we really don't want to be mixing adcf-config and faces-config.
So I am really stumped here.... Thanks in advance!

Hi there:
In your case, the adfc-config.xml has the control flow case between shell pages. And the task-flow-N.xml or your-task-flow.xml for each page fragment by default doesn't inherit control flow case from their containing shell page. In your case, in the page fragment task-flow.xml, you should add a "Parent Action" to flow to shell page2 for example. The outcome of "Parent Action" would be "toShell2" if calling from ShellPage1 page fragment.
Is this 'Correct' or 'Helpful' for you? Please mark it as so if it does.
Good luck,
Alex

Centering horizontally a page consisting of several Page Fragments

While centering a simple page horizontally was greatly described in SJSC
Field Guide and working fine, the same technique didn't work for multifragment
jsf page.
Have somebody implemented the centering such a page horizontally?
Will appriciate for a working example.
Thanks in advance

Can you summarize the technique in question, and then give a few details about how you are trying to do it with page fragments? Without that, it is difficult to tell what you want to do.

Problem with buttons in page fragment

Hi,
I'm developing a jsp-page, which has two page-fragments and one inline frame..
I've a problem with one page-fragment. This one contains three buttons, for changing the language. When someone pushes the button, it seems that there is no action triggered...
Here is my code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Hi Ann,
I was working with dropdowns in pagefragments consequent to your query. I noticed that there is a problem with the dropdowns too. This especially happens if you have the same components in both the page fragments. For example buttons in both the page fragments or dropdowns in both page fragments etc.
I have filed a change request on your behalf for the same.
We thank you for bringing this to our notice.
Thanks and
Cheers :-)

RegionRenderer encodeAll The region component with id: pt1:r1 has detected a page fragment with multiple root components. Fragments with more than one root component may not display correctly in a region and may have a negative impact on performance.

Hi,
I am using JDEV 11.1.2.1.0
I am getting the following error :-
<RegionRenderer> <encodeAll> The region component with id: pt1:r1 has detected a page fragment with multiple root components. Fragments with more than one root component may not display correctly in a region and may have a negative impact on performance. It is recommended that you restructure the page fragment to have a single root component.
Piece of code is for region is:-

                                        </f:facet>
How do I resolve it ?
Thanks,

Hi,
I see at least 3 errors
1. <RegionRenderer> <encodeAll> The region component with id: pt1:r1 has detected a page fragment with multiple root components.
the page fragment should only have a single component under the jsp:root tag. If you see more than one, wrap them in e.g. an af:panelGroupLayout or af:group component
2. SAPFunction.jspx/.xml" has an invalid character ".".
check the document (you can open it in JDeveloper if the customization was a seeded one. Seems that editing this file smething has gone bad
3. The expression "#{bindings..regionModel}" (that was specified for the RegionModel "value" attribute of the region component with id "pePanel") evaluated to null.
"pageeditorpanel" does seem to be missing in the PageDef file of the page holding the region

BUG: Popup in page fragment; with many regions and popup binded to backing.

BUG: Popup in page fragment; with many regions and popup or parent binded to backing bean.

I have a bug (Popup will not popup)that only happens when I have more than one of the same region.
And I have a popup in the page fragment is binded to backing bean.

"a user error"
Well I followed your book! Chapter 6 of the "Oracle Fusion Developer Guide - Working with Bounded Task Flows in ADF Regions". I think this comes back to book writer error. I found almost no mention of BackingBeanScope in this chapter. Don't you think this would be an important note?
"did you know that there is a Java API (on the RichPopup instance) to launch a popup ?"
Yes I posted in my code! If you read the above code you would see it there.
I don't really understand why the scope of the bean has anything to do with af:showPopupBehavior or AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent.

"detected a page fragment with multiple root components" warning

I am getting a warning on the standalone WLS when I run my page that contains a taskflow as region. I am using a page fragment in my taskflow.
<Warning> <oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.renderkit.rich.RegionRenderer> <ADF_FACES-60099> <The region component with id: ptMain:r1 has detected a page fragment with multiple root components. Fragments with more than one root component may not display correctly in a region and may have a negative impact on performance. It is recommended that you restructure the page fragment to have a single root component.>
The warning states the obvious, I have everything within a panelheader in my page fragment. Also, I do not get the warning on the integrated WLS. Any ideas as to why this warning is still popping up in the log? I am using JDev 11.1.1.3.
Thanks,
Jessica

Thank you for responding. I do not have any popups. I do, however, have another region nested within this fragment ( have this warning on another fragment that doesn't have a nested region though). Here is the code for my fragment.

Use 2 App modules with connection to 2 databases on 1 UIX page?

Is it possible use 2 different Application modules with connection to different databases on one UIX page?
Thank you.

Yes.
Use a <bc4j:registryDef> with two <bc4j:rootAppModule>'s inside. Everything else is the same as the single root application module case.
More documentation is available in the UIX Developer's Guide available in the JDeveloper help system and online at:

Problem with popup in a page fragment

JDev 11.1.2.1
I'm using the code described here to launch popup from a backing bean.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/oct2010-otn-harvest-183714.pdf
How-to launch a popup programmatically from Java
Starting Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.1.3, instance of af:popup can be opened using a Java method on the RichPopup object. The RichPopup class is the bean implementation of the af:popup ADF Faces tag. To launch a popup from a managed bean, you first need to get a hold on to a rich popup instance, which you can do by searching it on the UIViewRoot or by referencing a JSF component binding – which you create using the "binding" property of the af:popup component tag. To open the popup you then call
RichPopup.PopupHints ph = new RichPopup.PopupHints(); popup.show(ph);
It works fine except when the popup is inside a page fragment.
In IE 7 I get the javascript error message
"this.getDomNode().parentNode' is null or not an object"
I have also tried the following code; that works fine except when the popup is inside a page fragment.
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
String popupId = popup.getClientId(context);
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExtendedRenderKitService service =
Service.getRenderKitService(facesContext,
ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
service.addScript(facesContext,
"AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent('" + popupId + "').show();");
Any idea how to launch a popup in a page fragment?

Since this is working for others I'm working on a test case to send to oracle.
I'll try to give more information.
Main.jspx
has a region for Child.jsff using a bounded task flow.
<af:region value="#{bindings.Child.regionModel}" id="r1"/>
Child.jsff has a popup bound to backing bean and a button that calls java to open the popup.
Child.jsff has its own set of bindings. It is not inherting parent bindings.

Reuse Task flows without Page fragment

Hello,
I ve seen some examples with task flows being resued inside regions and using page fragments.
However , my requirement is little different and would like some inputs on this.
I have an authentication module to be used in different ADF applications.
I have a login page(not a page fragment) and a router and task flow return activity in the resuable bounded task flow.
We are having a managed bean to check authentication and we have a page flow scope variable which marks success or failure and hands it over to router which inturn routes to task flow return if successful, else routs it back to login page if failure.
When i use this BTF in a consuming task flow(BTF) and add the module as an ADF library, everything is fine except it is not lauching a welcome page upon success and just stays on the same login page.
I have the ADF security on with the redirect page given upon successful authentication as the welcome page.
The welcome page is in the consuming application and not part of the authentication module itself.
In the consuming task flow, i have a control case from the Authentication task flow call activity to the welcome page and the control case rightly given success as outcome automatically bcos of task flow return in the consumed task flow.
Any input to launch the welcome page upon successful authentication is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
you cannot authenticate users in a bounded task flow and expect to redirect you successfully. The redirect only happens if authentication is handled by the ADF Security authentication servlet redirecting the call. So your bounde task flow needs to return an outcome and your consuming application should have a wild card navigation case defined that then redirects to the welcome page

Threadinar10 - Page Separator, Page Fragment Box , Tab Set & Tab Components

Hi All,
This is the tenth in the Threadinar series. See the Components Threadinar Index at http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=103424 for the complete list to date.
This Threadinar will discuss 4 components in the "Components Palette: Layout Section" section of the Creator Component Catalog.
The components we will focus on today are
"Page Separator", "Page Fragment Box" , "Tab Set" & "Tab" Components.
Let us begin our discussion with the "Page Separator" Component.
Page Separator Component
You can drag the Page Separator component from the Palette's Layout category to the Visual Designer to create a horizontal line that resizes to any page width selected by the user. This component is the visual equivalent of an HTML <hr> tag.
In the page bean, a Page Separator component is a PageSeparator object.
* Note: If you want to use an HTML <hr> tag, drop a Meta component on the page and set its tag property to hr.
[b]Page Fragment Box Component
This component enables you to include a page fragment in a page. A page fragment is a separate, reusable part of a page that can be included in any number of pages. For example, you might want to put a common a visual element like a header graphic in a page fragment and then include it in all the pages in an application.
When you drag the Page Fragment Box component from the Layout category of the Palette and drop it on a page, the Select Page Fragment dialog box prompts you for the name of the page fragment to be included. You can enter the name of an existing page fragment or create a new page fragment. If you create a new page fragment, the IDE gives the new fragment a .jspf file suffix and creates a node for it in the Projects window, as well as adding the page fragment to the Outline window.
* Note: A Page Fragment Box component simply includes a page fragment in a page. Deleting a Page Fragment Box component from a page does not delete the page fragment itself, even if you originally used the Select Page Fragment dialog box to create the page fragment.
After dropping a Page Fragment Box component on the page, if you click inside the component, you see the properties for the included fragment. If you click the border of the component, you see the properties for the enclosing <div> block. You can also use the Outline window to select the enclosing block, the page fragment, or the components in the page fragment. In the Outline window, the Page Fragment Box component is represented by a node named directive.include:fragment-file.jspf, where fragment-file is the name of the page fragment file.
If you double-click the page fragment, it opens as a page in the Visual Editor, enabling you to edit it like a regular page. The page fragment has an associated JavaBeans object, a page fragment bean, which you can edit by clicking the Java button at the top of the page fragment when it is open in the Visual Editor. As with a regular page, if you drop a component like a button in a fragment, double clicking adds an event handler in the page fragment bean, enabling you to reuse the code on any page to which you add the page fragment. A common scenario for reusing component code would be a Search Box fragment that has a search Label, a Text Field where the user enters the search string, some Inline Help, and search logic code in the page fragment bean.
* The tab order of the components in the page is unlikely to work properly unless you enclose the entire page fragment box in the Faces Verbatim component.

[b]Tab Set Component
The Tab Set component in the Palette's Layout category is a container for a set of Tab components. Typical uses of a tab set are:
* To provide alternate sets of components on the same page and enable the user to navigate to them by clicking on tabs. The user sees only the components under the currently selected tab. For more information on adding components to tabs, see Tab Component.
* To navigate among a set of pages. If you use a tab set this way, you would usually have the tab set near the top of each page with the component's width set at 100%. You would use the Page Navigation editor to define each tab to display a page in the application, with the current page's tab set as the selected tab. In addition, you would need to delete the default Layout Panel component under each tab so the tab would display the page contents.
You can set Tab Set properties in the component's Properties window.
A Tab Set component contains Tab Components, and Tab components can contain other Tab components. You can see these components displayed as hierarchical nodes in the Outline window after you add a Tab Set to your page.
You can add a new tab to a tab set in two ways, by right-clicking the Tab Set component and choosing Add Tab or by dropping a new tab component on the Tab Set or on a Tab component.
You can drop a new tab component on a tab set in the Visual Designer to the right or left of existing tabs to create a new tab at that level. The tabs in a tab set can also be containers for other tabs. If you drop a Tab component on an existing tab, the new tab becomes a child of the tab on which you dropped it. The maximum number of levels for tabs is three.
The tab set component determines which tab is rendered as selected, storing the value in the selected property. By default, the selected property is set to the first tab created for the component. If you click a tab while designing your web page, that tab becomes the selected tab. You can tell during design time that a tab is selected because its color changes.
[b]Tab Component
A Tab is part of a Tab Set component. You can add a new tab to a tab set in two ways, by right-clicking the Tab Set component and choosing Add Tab or by dragging a new Tab component from the Layout category of the Palette and dropping it on the Tab Set or on another Tab component. You can also drag from the Palette and drop the tab on the tab set's nodes in the Outline window.
* If you drop the Tab component to the left or right of an existing tab, it is added to the same row of tabs.
* If you drop the Tab component on an existing tab, the dropped tab becomes a child tab of the tab on which you drop it unless the existing tab is a third level tab. You can have at most three levels of tabs in a tab set.
o Note: You cannot add a child tab to a tab that has components in its Layout Panel. When you drop a tab on an existing tab component that has an empty Layout Panel, the empty Layout Panel is deleted to make room for the dropped tab.
By default, a Tab component has a Layout Panel below it where you can drop components that will be displayed when the user selects the tab. The Layout Panel by default has its panelLayout property set to Grid Layout, meaning that components dropped on the panel are aligned at the location where they are dropped. You can change the layout behavior by setting the panelLayout property to Flow Layout, which aligns dropped components left to right in rows. For more information on Layout Panel properties, see Layout Panel Component Properties Window.
To select a tab in a tab set, either click the Tab component on the page or select the Tab component's node in the Outline window. To select the whole tab set, either click the border of the Tab Set component on the page or select the tab set's node in the Outline window. Alternatively, you can select a Tab component and either press Escape or right-click and choose Select Parent to select its parent component.
* Note: If you select a tab on a page in the Visual Designer, a side effect is that it becomes the selected tab. If this effect is not what you want, select the tab in the Outline window so you can set its properties.
You can drag tabs in the Outline window to change their location and level in the tab set.
Some typical uses of tabs:
* You can drop components on the Layout Panel component below a tab to enable a set of components to be displayed below each tab. When the user selects a tab, they see only the components that are associated with the tab, without having to change pages.
* You can use a tab set to navigate among a set of pages. Each tab component links to a page in your web application. You would use the Page Navigation editor to define each tab to display a page in the application, with the current page's tab set as the selected tab. If you want to use the tab set for page navigation, be sure to delete each tab component's Layout Panel.
You can also right-click the Tab component and choose one of the following options:
* Edit action Event Handler. Code the action event handler, the method that is called when the user clicks the tab. This method determines which page or resource to open based on specified conditions. The action method typically processes mouse clicks and returns a string indicating the name of a page navigation case (the page in your application to display next). The default name for the method is tab-id_action, where tab-id is the value of the tab's id property.
* Bind to Data. Dynamically set the text that appears on the tab. You can bind the component's text property to an object or a data provider, as described in the topic Bind to Data Dialog Box.
* Property Bindings. Opens a dialog box that enables you to bind properties of the component in addition to the text property to other objects or bean properties that update this component's properties automatically.

Thank you for your participation

The following blog has a mini tutorial on using a tab set in a page fragment for page navigation:
http://blogs.sun.com/divas/entry/tabbing_thru_the_tulips
A reader commented that the mini tutorial needed to be improved upon to show how to keep the tab state and navigation state in synch.
How would you do it? If you have a good example, maybe post it to this thread.
Also, there is no tab tutorial but it is on the priority list. What would you like a tab tutorial to show how to do?
