Return the User to the Calling Page - doesn't work

Hello All,
I set up the "Issue tracker" tutorial to get in tuch with the apex (htmldb vers. 2.0)
All is working well but: Return the User to the Calling Page -> doesn't work. I performed all steps as descriped in the tutorial (iclusive the '.' on the &P7_PREV_PAGE ;-) ).
I use my own aplication at home and followed all the instruction steps few times but it does not work. Can you help me please?
Do I have to install something more?
In the Branch section: * 1: Go To Page &P7_PREV_PAGE. (Unconditional)
In the Item section: 90: P7_PREV_PAGE Hidden
In the Button section for cancel Button: &P7_PREV_PAGE.
Here is the description of the function in the tutorial:
Because this Create/Edit page will be called from several places, when users finish with the display they should return to the calling page. To accomplish this, you create an item and change the branch on this page. Every time this page is called, the item must be set with the number of the calling page.
To create a hidden item:
1. Under Items, click the Create icon.
2. For Select Item Type, select Hidden and click Next.
3. For Display Position and Name:
1. For Item Name, enter:
P7_PREV_PAGE
2. For Region, select Issue Identification.
3. Click Next.
4.
Click Create Item.
Next, edit the Cancel button.
5. Under Buttons, select Cancel.
6. Scroll down to Optional URL Redirect.
7. In Page, enter:
&P7_PREV_PAGE.
Note the period at the end.
8. Click Apply Changes.
Next, edit the branch.
9. Under Action, enter the following in Page:
&P7_PREV_PAGE.
10. Click Apply Changes.
All steps are done but I still got the message: Error ERR-1016 Application "106" Page "0" not found (requested language="de")
OK
I move the mousepointer over the cancel button: javascript:redirect('f?p=106:0:5265993428922076876::NO:::')
Thank you for helping me!
best regards Thorsten

All,
I haven't looked at that tutorial for quite a while but just gave it a quick look.
Further down in the tutorial, it directs you to set the value of P7_PREV_PAGE, under Add Functionality to Support Adding Multiple Issues Sequentially - have you done that? There is also a mention that there is more branching to be done - "The branch you just created is looking for a value in P7_PREV_PAGE. Since the page was not called from another page, the value has not been set. You need to fix that next." It goes on to have you define that value from other places.
Can you describe what you are doing when you get the error? There could be something missing from the tutorial. A way around it would be to create a default value for P7_PREV_PAGE so that if it is not set, a default page will be used.

How can I refresh a calling page on return from a TF activity ?

Hi,
I have a (sounds easy) case where a view activity invokes a BTW with fragments. The called BTF has been declared with isolated data control scope. Inside the BTF some updates happen and when the BTF returns the calling view should display the modified data. The BTF should not be opened as a dialog and the above take place inside a region. There are examples in the Internet for how to implement such case but only calling a taskflow with pages from a dialog.
I tried creating first the Taskflow binding definition [19.10.1 How to Associate a Page Definition File with a Task Flow Activity|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35521_01/web.111230/e16182/taskflows_activities.htm#sthref539] , then I set the related operations (Execute, setCurrentRowWithKey, ...) in the Page Definition and invoke the operations inside the “After Listener” Listener (<after-listener>) of the taskflow activity but the binding context is not accessible inside the listener, I get NPE accessing the binding.
After some tests I have found that I can call the Operations using “#data.taskflowdefinition..” but I afraid using this technique because of so many papers stating that this is a bad practice.
Additionally I tested using an invokeAction in the calling page definition page and it works but I prefer “refreshing” the model from the activity (there are many pages calling the same activity).
I am wondering if there is a more elegant solution that I haven’t seen yet.
Thanks for any ideas,
Yiannis

Hi Timo and thank you for your reply,
As far as I know any method executed in the BTF has no effect in the calling page because of the isolated data control scope.
Consider the following layout of a very simple TF diagram. The BTF has "Share data controls with calling task flow" unchecked and "Always begin new transaction"
View --> Method Call --> BTF
Now imagine that a user navigates from the View to the BTF, make updates and finally commits the transaction from a taskflow return activity. The updates are executed inside the "private" BTF's data control scope because of the BTF settings.
Returning to the calling View the user sees stale data from the Data Control of the View, until he re-queries the model.
ADF supports execution of code during the call of the BTF (through Method Call) and also sending and returning parameters from the View to the BTF.
Conversely on return from the BTF there is no handler for executing code (something like "Return Method Call") in order to refresh (e.g. re-query and set current row) the View exploiting the return parameters.
The "After Listener" in the taskflow call activity has not access to the bindings context. Using #{data.bindingTFXXX} I guess that has a risk in a high availability environment for NPE where the http call to the BTF might be processed in a different server than the returning http call so the #{data.bindingTFXXX} might not exists.
The other solution I found using invokeAction with RefreshCondition depends on the returning values of the BTF, bloats the View with Bindings that I would prefer to be in a central place.
Am i missing something in the whole flow above ?

Navigating Back to Calling Page

Hello,
I'm using APEX 4.1.1 and here is my dilemma: I have 2 pages A and B that both navigate to page C. In page C, when "Apply Changes" button is clicked I need to navigate back to either A or B depending on which page made the call to C. For pages A and B, I have set the "Request" value in the "Link Column" section to uniquely identify which page is making the call. Then, in page C I have created 2 branches (one to A and one to B) with condition "Request = Expression 1" where expression 1 is the value I assigned in A and B. When page C loads, I can see the value I assigned in the URL, but when I click "Apply Changes" the page submits and remains on page C.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Will

WillCreate a hidden item on page c lets say PX_FROM_PAGE.
Create an unconditional branch/edit one existing on page c and set the target page to *&PX_FROM_PAGE.*
Now when you call page c from page a/b include the parameter PX_FROM_PAGE with relevant page number. Example when calling page c from page a include the PX_FROM_PAGE to the call with page no of a

Popup not INSERTing into table and not refreshing called page ...

Greetings
Environment: APEX 3.1.1.00.09 on AIX 5.3 in 10gR2
I have read many of the threads concerning my issue and I feel I am getting close to the answer but somehow have combined too many of the suggestions and am tripping over my own code.
Please look at my sample application on apex.oracle.com:
Workspace: galway
User: gwicke
Password: gwicke
Please start with Page3, select any Agency and then click 'Add New Contract'.
There is currently a <strong>BOLD </strong>label 'Add New Builder' that is a link that should open a popup window. Type any name into the field and click 'Create Builder'. This should INSERT the row into the builder table, close the popup, assign the new builder name to the calling page item 'Builder Name' and populate the screen item.
In it's current state, the application will open the popup window, allow entry and close upon clicking the 'Create Builder' button. However the new builder is NOT inserted into the table and the calling page item is not populated.
By looking at the Page Items and Session State I can see the correct values assigned to the 'Pn_BULDER_NAME' items on both the popup page (4) and the calling page (2) but the value does not appear on the screen.
I've read where there's really two parallel universes, no sorry, two versions of the screen items, one in Session State and one that is displayed in the browser and there are steps to take to be sure the one displayed is updated from Session State as I would like in this case.
I've entered Javascript code in the Page4 - header to define the 'passBack2()' function and code in the 'Optional URL Redirect' section of the 'Add Builder' button to hopefully execute the ARP for the INSERT, assign the Page2 items and close the popup. It doesn't quite get all that done.
Any helpp is greatly appreciated. Thanks to Denes for most of the code suggestions I've followed.

Hi Gary,
I think that there's a very simple solution to this - didn't really spot it last night.
Firstly, yes, you could use a "button" to handle the call for the popup - just make sure that the button is a URL type "button" that is actually an A tag with the call in the URL target setting. Alternatively, you could take you existing A tag and use the same class attribute for one of your buttons as this should make it look like a button.
More importantly, though, I think that we could do it as:
1 - On your page 2 popup call, clear that cache for page 4 (the popup page) - I have already done this in your app by updating the url
2 - On the popup page, allow the user to enter in their desired P4_BUILDER_NAME value (not sure if you want to do something to make this unique?)
3 - Let the user click the Create button on the popup. This will submit the page, which will get your P4_BUILDER_RANK (the pk) value and insert a new record into the table (you could consider creating a sequence and a trigger to handle the creation of a new PK value?).
4 - Assuming the P4_BUILDER_RANK then exists (it wouldn't if there was an error somewhere), then conditionally display a region that had a piece of javascript that submits page 2 and then closes itself - we don't need to pass anything back to page 2 (see below)
5 - As the P4_BUILDER_NAME and P4_BUILDER_RANK exist in the session, when page 2 is being reloaded, (A) the select list would be updated with the new Builder (still not sure why all my entries appeared at the bottom instead of in alpha order??) and (B) both P2_BUILDER_NAME and P2_BUILDER_RANK can have Post Calculation Computations set (NVL(:P4_BUILDER_NAME,:P2_BUILDER_NAME) and NVL(:P4_BUILDER_RANK, :P2_BUILDER_RANK) respectively) - the effect of this is, if there are values stored in the P4 page items, we use them, otherwise we use whatever values were in the P2 page items
6 - Finally, to stop (5) happening in all page 2 loads, you would need to clear the cache for page 4 in as many places as possible - eg, branches to page 2 or buttons on page 2
The reason we can't pass values back to page 2 is that one of the items is a select list. The value we want to select won't appear on the select list until the page has been submitted. So, we can't set the value and submit because the value isn't there. We can't submit and set the value because javascript wouldn't know when the page has been updated (or, at least, you would have to put some independant mechanism in place to identify this, which may become complicated).
So, simply put, as long as we know that if the values are in the session, we can use Post Calculation Computations to set our fields to these values. The only thing to bear in mind is that we need to ensure that these session values only exist when we need them - hence clearing the cache. This principle should work for any type of field - but, as you have no doubt seen, simple text fields can be updated by the popup directly as the field should accept any value we give it.
My only other recommendation would be to completely remove the MRU processes from the page as these are not required (they just confuse the issue) and you could make your PK fetch and record insert into a single process - just to keep things neat and tidy, you understand!
When I finished with your app last night, I did leave it so that javascript would create a new option on the select list and then set the value. But the above methodology seems to be a lot simpler.

How to set a back button to the caller page

Hello,
An application have a page that can be called by several other pages, for instance, an "addContact.faces" can be called by several other forms, when the user adds the contact or press a back button, the application should go back to the caller page.
How can I implent this?
Thanks in advance,
Juan

As an alternative, you could Ajax the stuff and put it in a popup div, which is a common technique nowadays. Then the user doesn't even navigate away from the page he/she was on, plus it is relatively easy to implement in a generic way so multiple pages can use it.
Search for "css popup div" on google if you want to see this in action.

Any way to return to the calling page from the User Profile Editor page?

I built a url to the User Profile Editor page, and upon playing around with some of the parameters in the url itself, I have the Editor page returning to My Page (home page) for the logged in user. I would like to get it to return to the calling page, which is not necessarily a My Page. It might be a Community page. I'm not quite sure what the Editor Type value is and if it is even relevant. (it is hard-coded right now, and I've tried changing it to several values). Here is the url string:
http://awg1/portal/server.pt?open=space&name=UserProfileEditor&psname=OpenerPageID=253&cached=false&in_hi_userid=257&control=EditorStart&editorType=10. It would be really nice to be able to open the editor with a tag!

You can use a table
This was answered in the Numbers forum by someone else so cant take any credit.
Put "1" in first cell
put 2 in cell below
Select both cells and hover mouse over botton right hand corner ( you should get a cross) click and drag down and sequential numbers will fill into the blank cells - and over the page if you wish.
Is that what you are after?
Or you can always use a numbered list but that would be by paragraph not line.

Calling page 2 in Smart Form

Hello all,
I am trying to call Page 2 in my smart form. However the page doesnt get called at all.
In general attributes for Page 1 i have kept Page to as Next page.
In Main window Of page 1 I have created a COmmand .In genaral attributes of the Command I have check marked goto next page and pointed to Page 2 there also.
My page 2 has a main window and a data windoow. Also page 2 points to itself.
Is there anythingh else that needs to be taken care of when you point to page 2?
Please let me know.
Regards
Dukhi

Hi,
I believe you need to specify another condition to the command used in the main window section to trigger a new page which is infact page 2.
Moreover i believe in the main window of the page 1 there is not sufficient data so that it would spill over to the page 2.

Ram

HTMLDB 2.0 brachning to pages, set an item to the calling page

Hello,
I try to setup the issue tracking tool (example aplication of apex 1.6) in the current release 2.0.
A Create/Edit Issue page will be called from several places. When users are finished with the display, they should be returned to the calling page. To do this I followed the instructions in the tutorial of the issue tracking system as descriped but it does not work (Note: I use the instruction for release 1.6 because I can't find a instruction for 2.0 !!).
I did the following steps:
Under Item section:
- - create an item
- - create item name P8_PREVIOUS_PAGE
- - select an region to display this item
- - create item
Under button section
- - create a button
- - select the region for the button
- - choose button name
- - Redirect to URL without submitting page
- - Under URL Redirect section I entered "&P8_PREVIOUS_PAGE." (Without Quotas!!)
- - Apply changes
Under Branching action section:
- - I select the existing After processing Bracnch
- - I entered for Page "&P8_PREVIOUS_PAGE." (Without Quotas!!)
Every time I use the page and move the mousepointer over the created button the following Adress is displayed:
javascript: redirect ('f?p=106:0:1223346474785::NO:::')
- - I know that the value = 106 is my aplication but the value = 0 shuld the Nr. of the previous calling page but it is 0. And so I have a dead-end and get the following error message = Error ERR-1016 Application "106" Page "0" not found (requested language="de").
Has any body an idea?? Thank you so much for helping me!
Best regards
Thorsten

Hello Scott,
The Item is Hidden. I assumed that "P8_PREVIOUS_PAGE" get the value by invoking the page 8 from another calling page e.g Page 1.
Please find here my page definition for the page8
http://planitz.eu/htmldb/htmldb_issue_tracking_tool.jpg
User steps:
- - Login = page 1
- - Select from a list entry in Page 1 the Page 8
than the value of "P8_PREVIOUS_PAGE" should be "1" or go I wrong here?
- - Do I have to set up some thing more for the Item? Maby a default value??
Thank you for helping me!

R12.2.4 Data lost after using Dialog Page and return back to calling page.(Help Please! )

Hi Team,
I am new to OAF and is working on a requirement to add some custom validations when the user clicks on a Button in a standard seeded page.
The approach I took was to Extend the seeded Controller object that handled this button press event and put my custom logic in the extended controller and override the standard controller via personalization.
The standard flow was that upon pressing the Complete Button in Page A ,user was taken to the next seeded page (Page B) to perform certain operations based on the records that were selected in Page A.
Part of the custom validation requirement was that if certain validations were not met then the user needs to be shown a Pop-up asking if they really wanted to proceed and if they selected Yes then continue with the standard seeded flow(move to page B) and if they selected NO then just stay on the current page.
I was able to use OADialogPage and do this partially , the issue I am running into is that once the user selects the one or more records using a check box from a multi-record (table) region and hits the Complete Button on page A and if the validation fails then a modal page is shown and the user makes a selection i.e.either Yes or No from the modal page and when they return to calling page (i.e. Page A) , All the Data (records ) that they selected previously is lost (Page is refreshed). Based on what I see on this forum I suspect that it is because after clicking on Yes on the modal page and while returning to the original page the processRequest fires again and VO data is queried again and all selections on the page A are lost. Since I am trying to alter the flow in seeded pages based on user intervention I am kind of lost as to how this issue can be fixed. i.e. either prevent the page refresh or preserve the selections that were made prior to navigating to the modal page. Any Help is truly appreciated !!
My Code :
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext oapagecontext, OAWebBean oawebbean)
if (oapagecontext.getParameter("completeOps") != null) {
if (warnCount > 0) {
//OAException message = new OAException("Not in Sequence...", OAException.WARNING);
//oapagecontext.putDialogMessage(message);
OAException message = new OAException("Rule XYZ Violated .Do you want continue ?",OAException.WARNING);
OADialogPage dialogPage = new OADialogPage(OAException.WARNING, message, null, "","");
String yes = oapagecontext.getMessage("AK", "FWK_TBX_T_YES", null);
String no = oapagecontext.getMessage("AK", "FWK_TBX_T_NO", null);
dialogPage.setOkButtonItemName("ConYesButton");
dialogPage.setNoButtonItemName("ConNoButton");
dialogPage.setOkButtonToPost(true);
dialogPage.setNoButtonToPost(true);
dialogPage.setPostToCallingPage(true);
dialogPage.setOkButtonLabel(yes);
dialogPage.setNoButtonLabel(no);
oapagecontext.redirectToDialogPage(dialogPage);
if (oapagecontext.getParameter("ConYesButton") != null)   {
          // Write Action code for Yes Button
          oapagecontext.putParameter("completeOps", "Continue");
if (oapagecontext.getParameter("ConNoButton") != null){
            // Write Action code for No Button
            String errormsg = "Rule Violations have occured ";
            throw new OAException(errormsg);
   super.processFormRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);

I was able to work around this issue by adding a simple check in the processRequest method of my extended Controller to prevent the call to super.processRequest incase when the control returns to the page after the user has made a selection in the Dialog Page
if((oapagecontext.getParameter("ConYesButton") == null) && (oapagecontext.getParameter("ConNoButton") == null)) {
super.processRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
Thanks !

Help with modal dialog returning a value to the calling page

Greetings,
Apex Version: 4.1.0.0.32
What I am trying to do is to create a modal dialog that is called from a form page. The dialog will present the user with an IR report that will allow the him to select a row and return a value from that row to a field on the calling page. I have it working in Firefox, but I get an error using IE 8. I hope someone can show me why it is not working in IE.
Here is how I am doing it:
From the calling page:
Created a button
     Action: Redirect to URL
     URL Target: javascript:var rc = window.showModalDialog('f?p=&APP_ID.:70:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.:::','','resizable:yes;center:yes;dialogWidth:1000px;dialogHeight:500px;');
On the called page:
The called page is an IR report where the query returns this as one of the columns:
*(Note: I had to put a dot '.' in front of the onclick to get it to show in this thread. It is not there in my real code.)*
select
<a href="#" name="z" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline;" .onclick="javascript:passBack(''' || LOT_NO ||''');">Select</a>' SelectThis
, column1
, column2
from sometablename;This resolves the anchor to:
<a .onclick="javascript:passBack('232158');" href="#">Select</a>Here is the Javascript function that is called from the anchor onclick:
function passBack(passVal1)
opener.document.getElementById("P75_ITEM1").value = passVal1;
close();
}When I run this in Firefox, it works as expected. I click on the button on the parent page. The modal dialog is opened and the IR report is displayed. I click on one of the links in the report and it returns the correct value back to the calling page and closes the modal dialog.
When I run it in IE8, it fails. I click on the button on the parent page. The modal dialog is opened and the IR report is displayed. I click on one of the links in the report and I get this error: “opener.document is null or not an object”.
I hope that is clear and that someone can help.
Thanks
Larry

A quick google search determines that window.opener doesn't exists when using window.showModalDialog
Suggestions range from using window.open instead of window.showModalDialog to using dialogArguments instead of window.opener
Try the following:
In the parent page define a getPopupValue() function:
function getPopupValue(){
   var dr = window.showModalDialog('f?p=&APP_ID.:70:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.:::','','resizable:yes;center:yes;dialogWidth:1000px;dialogHeight:500px;');
    if ( (dr != undefined) && (dr != '') && (dr != false) ){
     $x("P75_ITEM1").value = dr;
}Change the button url to call the function:
javascript:getPopupValue(); On the popup page change the passback function to:
function passBack(passVal1)
returnValue = passVal1;
close();
}

How to make servlet target to the caller page?

If page A and B both can call a servlet, how do I make the servlet be able to return to caller page after it's work?
i have this code:
String target = "/index.jsp";
RequestDispatcher rd;
rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(target);
rd.forward(req,res);
How do I get caller page and forward back?
thanks

create a parameter in the calling page with <input type='hidden' name='callingPage' value='page_name'> and pass this to your servlet. then your servlet would know which page was the one that called it.
String target = "/" + request.getParameter("callingPage");
RequestDispatcher rd;
rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher(target);
rd.forward(req,res);

Dialog window popup shows calling page insead of dialog page in Portal app

Hi,
Within my Webcenter Portal application (JDev 11.1.1.5.0) I'm experiencing the following popup behavour.
I have made a navigation model which is used by a tree menu (situated in my pagetemplate in the left panel) and the breadcrumbs ( pagetemplate, top panel). On one of the pages (to which you can navigate by means of this tree menu) there is a link. When you click this link, you'll see a dialog modal window (popup window). I have made this popup by creating a taskflow with a jspx page on it. The jspx page has no page template, so it's created as a blank page. To test it, for now I have only put an outputText on it. In my adfc_config file I have dragged this taskflow to the screen, setting the properties 'run as dialog = true' and 'display type = inline-popup'. A control flow case was also made ( of course..... ;) ).
On the calling page I made a commandlink with the action of the control flow case, and the properties use window = true, inlinedocument, applicationModal.
Okay....
When I place this link on the homepage (the page that starts up when I have logged in), and click the link, the popup shows and displays the right page (the jspx with an outputText on it).
BUT when I navigate to a different page (by means of the tree menu) and click the link on that page (which is an exact copy of the first link), the popup still shows.....only displays the page and pagetemplate I have just come from.......So in my popup I'm looking at a page displaying my default pagetemplate, my treemenu etc.
Is someone familiar with this kind of behaviour?
Also, how can I resolve this??

Hi.
It's the same issue that:
- External Window Dialog in Resource Catalog Task Flow?
- Re: Custom ADF TaskFlow & WebCenter Portal Application
I have an Blog entry about this bug: http://danielmerchanoracle.blogspot.com/2011/10/oracle-webcenter-portal-ps3-bug-al.html (in Spanish).
Only fix that i found is changing Navigation Model to Item links (that contains your popup invoke) with "Redirect to URL" instead of "Redirect URL in Page Template".
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nk98yTL3I50/Tqpjohj2g7I/AAAAAAAAAOk/AlghSPBm1wo/s1600/InlineBugRedirect.png
However, can u test your problem in different browsers? IE7, IE8, Firefox , Chorme and tell me if your problem persist in all browsers?

HTML-DB 1.6 (Apex) calling an URL and go back to the calling page

Hi everybody,
Is there somebody who can help us ?
We have a button in your page which call an URL link. This link creates operate a job that will make an XML document. We try to use target....blank to open a new window and after the job is finished to close this new window; but it doesn't work, no new window have been created.
But, we want to go back to the calling page after doing the XML document creating job. We can't go back to our calling page, the application is gone.
How, we can do this?
Thanks. Bye.

Hi Timiche,
Firstly, create a new region on your calling page and add in the following as the region's Region Source:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function exportList(page)
var url;
url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:' + page + ':&APP_SESSION.';

<a href="javascript:exportList('n');">Export XML</a>
Replace n with the page number for your xml export. Notice that I've added an A tag here - you can style this to look like a button if you like.
I have also set a branch back to the calling page, but this should not be used by the A tag as it doesn't submit the page - I've just included it on my page for completeness.
Secondly, on your page containing the xml export, make the following settings:
In the Page Attributes, set the Page Template to "Popup"
In the Region's Region Definition, set the Template to "No Template"
In the Region's Report Attributes, set the Report Template to "export: XML"
And, here's my working example:
