Select discontiguous rows in a table with the keyboard

I am using jdk 1.3.1 and have tried this on 1.4 as well. I don't seem to be able to select discontiguous rows in a table using the keyboard. I can Ctrl-click with the mouse to do this but can't find a way to do this with the keyboard. I searched and found somebody asked this same question before and the reply was it works in 1.3.1. I am not seeing this. What could I be missing? The Ctrl-Up and Ctrl-Down keys don't do anything and neither does the spacebar.

I'm pretty sure you can't do this using the standard JTable interface.
You might be able to write your own keyboard listener and fake focus events for up&down arrow, but making this work seamlessly with JTable seemss like it would not be trivial.

How to select one row in a table with radio button

Hi all.
I have a VO where there is an attribute (isDefault [String]) that identifies the default record in the view. The possible values are 'Y' for yes and 'N' for no. Obviously only one record can have the 'Y' value.
In my page I have created an ADF Table (with the usual data control drag & drop). I would to transform the default inputText of "isDefault" field with a selectOneRadio component in order to permit the user to select (and save contextually in the DB) the default row of this table.
Can you explain me how? I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.1.4.
Thanks in advance.

Cvele,
thanks for your responses. Yes, it's easier to use af:selectBooleanCheckbox but I need that the selection is mutually exclusive (only one row can be selected). >If this is possible also with the boolean checkbox please tell me how.- Let's try with CheckBox :
1. At the ViewObjectImpl level (for example, YourViewObjectImpl), add the following code:
private oracle.jbo.Key currSelectedRowKey = null;
public void doRowSelection(Key newKey) {
      // de-select old one
      if (currSelectedRowKey != null) {
          Row[] rows = findByKey(currSelectedRowKey, 1);
          if (rows != null && rows.length > 0)
               rows[0].setStatusAsBoolean(Boolean.FALSE); // cast to the appropriate row Impl class if need !
     // remember a new selected row key:
    currSelectedRowKey = newKey;
}In the ViewRowImpl, in the transient attr settter, do as follows:
public void setStatusAsBoolean(Boolean value) {
     setStatus(value.booleanValue() ? ONE : ZERO);
     if (value.booleanValue()) {
         YourViewObjectImpl vo = (YourViewObjectImpl)getViewObject();
         vo.doRowSelection(getKey());
   }   P.S. The above was not tested at all, but should give you an idea

Is this with the Travel database or another database?
If it's another database then make sure your columns
allow nulls. To check this in the Server Navigator, expand
your DataSource down to the column.

Trigger to update field on a table with the sum of fields on another table

My experience creating triggers and pl/sql in general can best be described in oracle terms as null. I've been practicing by creating tables and applications on my personal home server to help me with some of my work related tasks. Right now I'm trying to create a trigger that will, after insert, update, delete on the assignment_time_track table update the time_spent field on the assignments table with the sum of the time_spent fields on the assignment_time_track table. Hopefully that run on sentence there is clear to people other than myself. I've attempted to script this on my own using the trigger creation tool for Oracle Database Express Edition but I get the following error:
Trigger create was not successful for the following reason:
ORA-06552: PL/SQL: Compilation unit analysis terminated ORA-06553: PLS-320: the declaration of the type of this expression is incomplete or malformed
Here is my attempt at creating the trigger on my own.
create or replace trigger "ASSIGNMENT_TIME_TRACK_T1"
AFTER
insert or update or delete on "ASSIGNMENT_TIME_TRACK"
for each row
begin
update assignments
set time_spent = (select sum(time_spent)
from assignment_time_track
where assignment_time_track.name = assignments.name);
end;
If what I've posted isn't clear or more detail is needed, let me know and I'll respond with a complete description of both tables and my goals for each table. Thanks in advance for any help. I will also gladly accept links to tutorials or lessons that explain how to do this sort of thing.

Hi,
If the assignments table has only one row per assignment, why is the primary key the combination of name and time_spent? If you have two two assignments called "Lab Report", isn't it possible that you would spend the same amount of time on each of them? I suggest using a sequence to assign an arbitrary id number to each assignment, and use that as the primary key.
What does each row in assuignment_time_track represent? It sounds like it is a chunk of time spent on one assignment (that is, you want to know that you spent 90 minutes on Tudesday morning working on some assignment, and that you spent another 30 minutes on Tuesday afternoon working on the same assignment). If so, then there should be a foreign key constraint in assignment_time_track referencing the primary key of assignemnt, and not the other way around.
Alex is right; you can get the total time spent on each project in a query or view; there is no need to replicate that data.
If you're new to Oracle and SQL, you should invest your time in getting more experience with the basics: everyday things like queries (using joins and GROUP BY) and views, and not spend much time on things that aren't used that much, like triggers.
If you really did have to copy the data, then you could have a trigger on assignemnt_time_track that kept the total in assignment up to date, like this:
UPDATE assignment
SET     total_time_spent = total_time_spent
                + NVL (:NEW.time_spent, 0)
                         - NVL (:OLD.time_spent, 0);I suggest you name the column in assignment something different than the column in assignment_time_track, to reduce the risk of confusion. Also, since they represent different things, the same name can't be the most descripttive for each of them.
In case you're wondering about the use of NVL, above: It allows the same statement to take care of the situation when you INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE a row in assignment_time_track. That is, if you UPDATE a row in assignment_time_track, and change the time_spent from 60 to 90, then you want to add the new time (90) and subtract the old time (60) fro the total_time_spent in assignment: that is, total_time_spent would increase by 30. If you INSERT a new row into assignment_time_track with time_spent=30, you just need to add the new time_spent (30): there is nothing to subtract. But rather than write an IF statement and a second UPDATE for that situation, you can just rely on hte fact that all :OLD values are NULL iwhen INSERTing, and treat that NULL as a 0. Likewise, when DELETing, all :NEW values are NULL..

How do i select a row when a table is loaded?

Hello Guys
could somebody help me? I'm new to ADF and I'm trying to make a SearchPage. It works but I get this behavior:
#1: I bound the Table with the ResultSet of a EJB-SessionBean find-Method. When the SearchPage is loaded, a the SessionBean-find-Mehod is called. I want, that the Table only shows the ResultSet when the CommandButton "Search" is clicked not on PageLoad.
#2. In the ResultSet shown in the table no row is preselected. How can i change that?
# 3. The Table is placed in a TabbedPanel in a showDetailItem "SearchResult". After i select a row I want to show the Details of the selected row-Object in anoteher showDetailItem "Details". How could i handle that?
Thnx a lot for your Help!

Hello Frank,
thank you for responding!
#1) I tryed #1 but i got the Exception Illegal . I followed the steps you recommended as follow:
a) On the button "Search" add an af:setPropertyListener. It looks like this:
<af:commandButton actionListener="#{bindings.getDelegateFindAllBySearchCriteria.execute}"
text="Suche starten"
disabled="#{!bindings.getDelegateFindAllBySearchCriteria.enabled}"
id="cb1" inlineStyle="margin-left:8px;">
<af:setPropertyListener from="#{true}" to="#{viewScope.executeOK}" type="action"/>
</af:commandButton>
b) Have the RefreshCondition property on the iterator in the pageDef file looking for a memory flag e.g #{viewScope.executeOk==true?true:false}. In the ExpressionBuilder I get "#{adfFacesContext.viewScope}" but not #{viewScope}
I got an error message writing this in de pageDefinition. It accepted: #{viewScope.executeOk==true}. It is right, if TRUE -> TRUE, if FALSE -> FALSE
The compiler says: "executeOK is an unknown property"
After that i started the Application and got an
<14.04.2011 16:59 Uhr MESZ> <Error> <HTTP> <BEA-101020> <[ServletContext@17109869[app:EHRCPD_PISA_TT module:EHRCPD_PISA_TT-ViewController-context-root path:/EHRCPD_PISA_TT-ViewController-context-root spec-version:2.5]] Servlet failed with Exception
java.lang.IllegalStateException
at oracle.jbo.uicli.binding.JUSearchBindingCustomizer.getViewCriteria(JUSearchBindingCustomizer.java:2161)
#2) I set DisplayProperty to "selected" but it did not works. I checked the rows (they are 2) but they are the same. If i debbug the application i see, that the resultSet got from the Database (JPA) is OK. The size of the resultSet is 2 and the Objects retrieved are different. What i'm doing wrong?
#3) This worked perfectly! Thank you!
I hope, I get this working.
Thnx again

Select all rows in af:table

Hi,
I need to select all rows in af:table, not only on current page.
I have following code on custom select all action:
getTable2().getSelectionState().addAll()and on button that needs to perform some action on selected rows I have this code
        Set selectedRowSet = getTable2().getSelectionState().getKeySet();
        if (!selectedRowSet.isEmpty()) {
            Iterator it = selectedRowSet.iterator();
            while(it.hasNext()) {
                Key key = (Key)it.next();
       }selectedRowSet.iterator() method throws java.lang.ClassCastException: oracle.jbo.Key.
When I select rows with af:tableSelectMany, which is inside selection facet and selects only rows on current page, this works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
you can only access those data that is queried and part of the CollectionModel to the time you select all
   RichTable _table = employeesBackingBean.getEmployeeTable1();
   RowKeySet rks = new RowKeySetImpl();
CollectionModel model = (CollectionModel)_table.getValue();
int rowCount = model.getRowCount();
      for (int i = 0; i < rowCount; i++) {
           model.setRowIndex(i);
           //note that in the simple POJO case, the row key is the same
           //as the index. However, it would be wrong to just rely on this
           //because other models or custom table models my return a more
           //comples key. Therefore we iterate over the available rows to
           //obtain the keys.
           Object key = model.getRowKey();
           //add the row keys to the RowKeySet to mark selected
           rks.add(key);
   _table.setSelectedRowKeys(rks);
   AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(_table);Frank

Select a row from a table and throw an url

Hi experts,
I'm trying to select a row from a table in Visual Composer. What I need to do it's to click over this row and throw an Url. At the moment, I've added a column with a Pushbutton with the formula to show the link; it works fine. But I need to do it without buttons just selecting the row.
Is there anyboby who knows about that?
Thanks a lot.
Belen

Hi
To do this you will have to use a data store and a guard condition on the line which is triggered by the select action. You need to store a value in the data store each time a select action is performed. The guard condition should check for this and only perform the action when the value in the data store is greater than 0.

Dynamic Select of Row in a table in webdynpro Abap

Hi,
I have an requirement, I have an table and a button, I need to select a row in a table based on button action.
For example : in a table i have 3 rows. I am submiting a value in a button, I want to see that row highlighted for the value I am sending through button.
Please let us know the code how to implement this.
Thanks

Hi,
First you have to go to table and set its property "SELECTION MODE" to single or multi lead depending on ur need.
Then in the ACTION of the button you can use the following code to get the values in the selected row.
DATA:
     node to get table node for finding no. of rows
        lo_nd_one TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
     Get selected row for finding no. of rows
   it_table               TYPE        wdr_context_element_set,
     workarea to get selected row
        wa_table                LIKE LINE OF           it_table,
To get the Selected line item into an internal table
CALL METHOD lo_nd_one->get_selected_elements
    RECEIVING
      set = it_table.    " data in internal format
IF it_table[] IS NOT INITIAL.
type conversion for work area
    READ TABLE it_table INTO wa_table INDEX 1.
if a row is present
    IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
    Get the values of each attribute
      CALL METHOD wa_table->get_static_attributes
        IMPORTING
          static_attributes = wa_final.       "<Selected data in work area.> ---> this will have your data
    ENDIF.
Here wa_final is the work area which is of your table fields type.
This wa_final will have the selected row.

To upload a data into SAP Table with the help of RFC function in BODS

Hi,
Please provide me step-by-step solution to upload data into any SAP table with the help of RFC function in Data Services.
I have created RFC function that upload data into SAP table. RFC Function contains one table that has same structure as my database table.
In the data services how can i filled the table of RFC function, i am using this function in query transform of data services but it gives me error.
I am also follow link http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/BusinessObjectsDataServicesTipsand+Tricks
but it did not help me.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
Did you import the function module in the SAP datastore first? When you open the SAP datastore, the function should be listed in the 'functions' section. If not, import it. Make sure your function is remote executable.
Once the function is there, you can use it in a transformation. In 'Schema Out' right-click on 'Query' (top level) and choose 'New Function Call'. You can then select a datastore and a function in the datastore. The wizard will show you which output parameters are available. I believe you have to add at least one and can select as many as you like.
After confirming your selection the function and the output parameters appear in Schema Out. You can then right-click on the function and choose 'Modify function call'. A popup will appear where you can specify the input parameters.
I hope this helps.

Is there any way to set selected row in java bean for h:datatable ?
in other words.
how can I select a row of h:datatable with java ?
regards

If you have an UICommand component in a row, there are two ways:
Bind h:dataTable to an UIData property in backing bean and use UIData#getRowData().
Or wrap data list in an DataModel instance and use DataModel#getRowData().
Alternatively you could also use f:setPropertyActionListener, but that isn't that efficient inside a h:dataTable.
If you actually want to select rows using radiobuttons or checkboxes, then check the examples in this article: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2006/06/using-datatables.html].

Select max date from a table with multiple records

I need help writing an SQL to select max date from a table with multiple records.
Here's the scenario. There are multiple SA_IDs repeated with various EFFDT (dates). I want to retrieve the most recent effective date so that the SA_ID is unique. Looks simple, but I can't figure this out. Please help.
SA_ID CHAR_TYPE_CD EFFDT CHAR_VAL
0000651005 BASE 15-AUG-07 YES
0000651005 BASE 13-NOV-09 NO
0010973671 BASE 20-MAR-08 YES
0010973671 BASE 18-JUN-10 NO

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you have a question, post a little sample data in a form that people can use to re-create the problem and test their ideas.
For example:
CREATE TABLE     table_x
(     sa_id          NUMBER (10)
,     char_type     VARCHAR2 (10)
,     effdt          DATE
,     char_val     VARCHAR2 (10)
INSERT INTO table_x (sa_id, char_type, effdt,                          char_val)
     VALUES     (0000651005, 'BASE',    TO_DATE ('15-AUG-2007', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 'YES');
INSERT INTO table_x (sa_id, char_type, effdt,                          char_val)
     VALUES     (0000651005, 'BASE',    TO_DATE ('13-NOV-2009', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 'NO');
INSERT INTO table_x (sa_id, char_type, effdt,                          char_val)
     VALUES     (0010973671, 'BASE',    TO_DATE ('20-MAR-2008', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 'YES');
INSERT INTO table_x (sa_id, char_type, effdt,                          char_val)
     VALUES     (0010973671, 'BASE',    TO_DATE ('18-JUN-2010', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 'NO');
COMMIT;Also, post the results that you want from that data. I'm not certain, but I think you want these results:
`    SA_ID LAST_EFFD
    651005 13-NOV-09
10973671 18-JUN-10That is, the latest effdt for each distinct sa_id.
Here's how to get those results:
SELECT    sa_id
,         MAX (effdt)    AS last_effdt
FROM      table_x
GROUP BY sa_id
;
