Session holding in login JSF component

I made a login component using JSF and I need to hold a session so that the user only has to login once per session. So it can be like "save Password" function on some forum.
Could you help me with this stuff?
I need it very much

Hi,
sounds like a useful thing. What exactly are your problems? Did you publish the code somewhere? It would be helpful to have a look at it.

Add additional session variable on login?

Hi,
at first, sorry for my bad englisch. Maybe anyone here can speak german.
Is there any way to save an additonal session variable on login without it is required to store this variable in a table column.
A short description:
I have a member table, that contains the login information (id, password, level) and further information about the member. A second table contains different sportevents.
Now i would create a login form, which has 3 input fields, one for the member id, one for the password and one select field, who the member can choose the sportevent. For further work, i need the member id, the member level and the sportevent id as a session variable. There is no problem, with the member id and the level id, this both variables i can get with the ADDT login wizard, but how can i safe the event id during the login as session variable?
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance.
Rico

Hi Rico,
Maybe anyone here can speak german
na komm, dein Englisch ist ziemlich gut, und ich möchte deine Frage lieber in Englisch beantworten, damit andere ADDT-User auch was davon haben :-)
There is no problem, with the member id and the level id, this both variables i can get with the ADDT login wizard, but how can i safe the event id during the login as session variable?
What I´m saying now, is somewhat experimental, because I didn´t try that myself so far -- but I think this should work:
a) add another numeric (int) column to your ADDT login table that´s going to hold the selected value from your "events" menu -- let´s call this column "current_event_id"
b) on the login page: create a recordset which retrieves the "event_id " and "event_name" values from your "sportevents" table -- guess that´s what you already did for populating the "events" menu you mentioned
c) switch the login page to CODE. When scrolling down, you´ll see these 2 lines below the // Add columns comment:
$loginTransaction->addColumn("kt_login_user", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "kt_login_user");
$loginTransaction->addColumn("kt_login_password", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "kt_login_password");
below that, add another line like this:
$loginTransaction->addColumn("current_event_id", "NUMERIC_TYPE", "POST", "events");
In order to convert the submitted "events" menu - value to a session variable, you should add the new column "current_event_id" to ADDT´s list of default session variables
(Control Panel)
Does that work ?

GetStyle() of JSF component before render

Hey guys,
I'm hoping this is an easy one, here goes...
For one reason or another, I need to modify the CSS of certain components in a JSF page before it is rendered to the browser. The JSF pages are going to be laid out in Netbeans 6.0 (beta right now) using mostly Woodstock components and will have the 'style' attribute filled in for each component. However, like I said, I want to modify the CSS style value of some components prior to rendering.
Looking through the Javadocs for Woodstock (javadocs are included with plugin) I see that many components do indeed give you access to this attribute ('style'), com.sun.webui.jsf.component.Field.getStyle() returns "CSS style(s) to be applied to the outermost HTML element when this component is rendered" for example.
I figured this would be straight forward enough and attempted to retrieve the style using the prerender() method. Unfortunately, getStyle() returned null. After playing around with it for a while, it appears as though the components do not get these properties set (by the Netbeans attribute) until DURING the renderResponse phase. I say this because I tried setStyle() during prerender() and my changes were ignored. I then went back to Netbeans and removed my 'suggested style', now my setStyle() call during prerender() holds showing that somewhere in the renderResponse phase (after prerender()) the style is being set if one is given.
Obviously making any changes after prerender() [like in afterRenderResponse()] will not cut it.
To sum up:
Even as late in the lifecycle as prerender(), the CSS style attribute of a Woodstock component is not yet set (getStyle() returns null and setStyle() ends up being overwritten). Any suggestions on how to modify the style?
Thanks in advance (and I hope this is an applicable forum),
Sean

Solved:
Once I wrapped my head around the problem I found a much more elegant solution.
What I wanted to do was relatively position page fragments but was having trouble as the Netbeans IDE positions components within fragments absolutely. To make my page dynamic I was taking the style="position: absolute" attribute out of the <div> tag that was holding the <jsp:directive-include>. The components within the fragments were then being positioned absolutely on the resulting page, ending up strewn all over the place. This led me off on the tangent to reposition the components when the page was called (original post above).
The weekend did me well I suppose. I came up with the bright idea to CHANGE the style attribute on the <div> tag rather than remove it. Making the <div> component "position: relative" passed its positioning down the the containing components and now my fragments are displayed correctly while being dynamically repositionable.
Hope this helps anyone coming across the same problem.

Just extended my first jsf component. but in the right way?

Hi all,
After days of trial and error, i finally managed to code my own JSF component, extending existing infrastructure. Since things just suddenly fell in place during a brute force approach to make it work, i'd like to ask for opinions of seasoned JSF veterans whether this makes sense or there is a better way to do things.
The objective was to be able to render a collection of items as a comma separated list. To this end, I took an existing data iterator UIComponent from richfaces, added a custom renderer -- again extending on richfaces, and hooked things up in 2 config files, as follows:
CsvRenderer.java:
import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.context.ResponseWriter;
import org.ajax4jsf.component.UIDataAdaptor;
import org.richfaces.renderkit.AbstractRowsRenderer;
import org.richfaces.renderkit.TableHolder;
/** Renders a richfaces UIDataList component as a comma separated list */
public class CsvRenderer extends AbstractRowsRenderer {
     @Override
     public void encodeOneRow(FacesContext context, TableHolder holder)     throws IOException {
          UIDataAdaptor table = holder.getTable();
          ResponseWriter writer = context.getResponseWriter();
          renderChildren(context, table);
          if(holder.getRowCounter() < table.getRowCount() - 1) {
               writer.write(", ");
     @Override
     protected Class<? extends UIComponent> getComponentClass() {
          return org.richfaces.component.UIDataList.class;
added to faces-config.xml:

How to load a class dynamically (via reflection) in a jsf-component

Hi all,
I am writing my own jsf component and I would like to do it generically. Therefore I have an attribute, where the developer can pass a fully qualified classname, which I want to use to instantiate. But I have a Problem with the classloaders, everytime I get a ClassNotFound-Exception during debugging.
Does anybody know how it is possible, to to get the most parent classloader?
Currently I am even not able to load a class, which is in the same package like all other compontent-classes.
Thank you very much in advance
Thomas

Within web applications, I believe it is recommended to use Thread.getContextClassLoader(). Keep in mind that web applications require different classloader semantics than regular Java applications. The class loader which gets resources from the WAR is favored over others, even when this violates the normal class loading conventions.

How to add properties to a custom JSF component?

Hello, everybody!
I've just developed my first custom JSF component. It's a data pager and it is working pretty well. But now I want to be able to use some of it attributes in my backing beans at runtime. I mean, I want to bind it to component in the JSF page. It already has a binding attribute in the tld file, but I want to be able to accesss two values that the renderer of my custom component calculate inside it, which would relieve me from calculating these values manually in the backing beans. So, I would like to know how to make these values external to the component.
By now this is my custom pager class:
import javax.faces.component.UICommand;
public class UIPaginadorDados extends UICommand
}You can see that it has no logic because all the logic is in the renderer class:
import javax.faces.render.Renderer;
public class PaginadorDadosRenderer extends Renderer
// logic here
}As I said I want to be able to do the following in my backing beans:
private UIPaginadorDados pager = new UIPaginadorDados();
// and later...
pager.getCurrentPage();
pager.getPageCount();In the JSF page:
// I already can do this, because I have a binding attribute
<urca:paginadorDados binding="#{backingBean.pager}" />I suppose that I'll have to create the properties getCurrentPage() and getPageCount() in the component class, UIPaginadorDados, but I don't know how to get the values to the properties from the renderer class. I don't even know if this is how I should do it.
So I would appreciate a lot your help about this subject.
Thank you.
Marcos

How can I include a javaScript files from within jsf component

Is there any way using which I can include javascript files from my jsf component. Because otherwise I have to write all the javascript commands using writer.write which is very tedious rather than this I just want to include the javascript file which contains all the functions required. Also I want that this file should be included only once irrespective of the number of components included.
Thanx in advance

This doesn't depend on JSF. You need to include a script tag, like:
<script src="/path/script.js"
language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
If you want to include this only once, make a file included into every page, into which you can put other resources to be included along with this script.
HTH,

How to make Javascript access standard JSF component

Hello all,
I'm in need of a proper javascript code that access standard jsf component.
Like we do for html tags;
if( el.tagName.toLowerCase() != 'select')
I need to do the same thing for a jsf tag i.e; <h:selectOneMenu>. How to make javascript access <h:selectOneMenu> like it does with <select> tag ? Please let me know asap. Extremely sorry if the question is kind of stupid....cause I'm a beginner for JSF environment.
Any sort of help, suggestion or advice would highly be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Ummmm, I may be off the beaten path, but by the time your javascript is called the h:selectOneMenu would be a select tag within the dom. You should be able to reference that tag as you normally would.

JSF component inside HTML table -- not rendering properly

I have a HTML table like the one below. In one of those columns (td) I have a JSF component. When I run the app, the JSF component (even if its a simple inputText or panelGrid or panelGroup) is not getting inside the td. Instead, it forms a seperate table after this td.
Code I have:
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>... ..MULTIPLE Td's here - Deleted for simplicity </td>
<td class="topNav">
Blog Directory
</td>
<td>
<img src="./images/top_button_right.gif"/>
</td>
<td class="topNav">
<f:panelGroup>
<h:inputText value="Username"/>
<h:inputSecret value="Password"/>
</f:panelGroup>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
What I expected:
username, passwd field inside the top level HTML table.
What comes: (as a result of running thsi JSF page )
<table> -- Original table
<td> </td> -- -TD that had the inputText - comes empty here
</table>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="_id1:header:EasyHeader:_id4" value="Username" /><input type="password" name="_id1:header:EasyHeader:_id5" value="" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><table>
I am a newbie to JSF & due to the complexity of the layout & page, I m unable to get rid of the HTML tags totally.
Thanks in advance.
Ganesh

Found the solution to the problem.
wrapped the entire HTML page till the JSF component ( panelGrid) under <f:verbatim>.
something like this
<f:verbatim>
<table>
<tr> <td>...</td>
<td>
</f:verbatim>
<h:panelGrid> ... </h:panelGrid>
<f:verbatim>
</td>
</table>
</f:verbatim>

Can i use one JSF component's value for other component in the same page.

Can i use one JSF component's value for other component in the same page.
For example
I have a <h:selectBooleanCheckbox id="myChk"> in my jsf page, i want to access its value for another component like:
<h:commandButton disabled="#{myChk.checked}" action="myAction" value="myValue" />
** "myChk.checked" >> I am just asuming "checked" property is available...

Bind the checkbox to a UIInput myChk property. Then you can reference this property from the page, e.g.
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox binding="#{myBean.myChk}" onchange="submit();" />
<h:commandButton disabled="#{myBean.myChk.value}" action="myAction" value="myValue" />

Just why do you want to prevent TM from deleting old backups? If it's because you've been deleting things from your internal HD, trusting TM to keep it's copies indefinitely, that's not a good idea.
The reason is, TM's copies are no longer backups: now they're your originals. When (not if) your TM drive fails, you may lose all of them.
Thank you for your input. As I wrote earlier, I have reformatted the internal HD and reinstalled a "blank" system. So yes, most files, documents etc. are now found only in the TM backup. One reason for not simply doing a full restore from the TM backup was to allow time to make sure the internal HD was not in fact failing, and being able to reintroduce things step by step in case the problem should materialize again.
The whole point of wanting to keep the existing TM backup as-is is to make it be there "indefinitely". That doesn't mean I trust the external HD to keep it safe for all eternity, but as long as I am trusting it to back up my stuff, why not let it keep my old stuff as well? Although, admittedly, it is space consuming and the important stuff will be present in both the old and the new backup, once I get it running. Old backup > iMac > New backup. You should see how many papers I have in my shelves from years back

Relative positioning of JSF component

Hi,
How can I place a JSF component relative to another component, say I want to place a table below another table whose number of rows may vary.
Thanks,

Have two differnt tables or use frames and place the controls(tableand button in this case) in different frames.
<table width="100%" height="350"> -outertable
<table .................................................><tr> any number of rows. </tr>-inner table
</table>- - close outer
</tr </table> - close inner
<table> -new table
command button
</table> - close new table

Tutorial on how to create an Ajax-enabled JSF component in Creator?

Is there a tutorial on how to create (not use/import existing) an Ajax-enabled JSF component using Creator 2? I read somewhere that it was done during a presentation in 3 minutes! Now that I really want to see ;-
thanks,
-nikita

As far as I remeber, Edwin Goei's examples are the
closest thing to the info you are looking. He has an
example component, but don't remember if they're
AJAX enabled. Check it on
http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javatools/CustomCompone
tLibraries.
Best regards
Antonio.Thanks for the plug. I've been meaning to update that article. Writing an AJAX component is similar to writing other kinds of components but the developer uses AJAX techniques. The latest version of the popup calendar which is checked into the bpcatalog project of java.net uses Dojo which also has some support for AJAX. I haven't yet had time to update the article yet, unfortunately.

Any ideas..
Thanks in advance..

Use Javascript.var el = document.getElementById('elementId');
if (el && el.focus) {
el.focus();
