Solution: Using Popup Windows in JSF Applications

URL: http://forum.exadel.com/viewtopic.php?t=559
This example shows:
* how to use a client-side script to control a form field rendered by JSF
* how to launch a popup window and return a result back to the main window
* how to use the standard JSF Navigation Framework for navigation in a multiple-windows interface environment.

It works only with latest ( jsf-ri beta ) version. EA4 used to require completely another approach to do the same.
According to diagnostic message, you have problem with running jsf-ri itself, but now with this example application.
There is a good test to examine that your environment is ready to work with jsf-ri: jsf-ri is shipped along with demo-components.war example. Try to deploy it. If it works, jsf-popup example should work also.
Perhaps, your servlet container does not with servlet-mapping like *.jsf . I met this problem couple time when play with standard jsf-ri examples. So, you can try to replace *.jsf with /faces/* and index.jsp should contain <jsp:forward page="faces/pages/inputdata.jsp" /> in this way.
Finally, I have received several request about working with WSAD 5.1 . It looks like 5.1 does not support jsf-ri applications at all. This is a link that explains the problem: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=427&thread=476773 . If somebody knows the solution let's us know, please.

Popup window in JSF

Hi All,
In Java EE Application i have created two JSF pages. When i click a button in first JSF, the second JSF page should appear in a pop up window. Is that possible.
Let me also know how to add a pop up in JSF.
Regards,
Manickka.

In your case, If you really need a popup window I think that an option that will work is use a h:commandLink:
- Use the onclick method of the h:commandLink to open a blank new page, with the name for example "blankPopUp".
- Use a h:commandLink to navigate to the second page. The action method can be used to run a JSF navigation.
- Use the target method of the command link to point to your window opened via javascript in the onclick event. In this case the target will be "blankPopUp". Then your content returned by the JSF navigation will be rendered in the already opened popup window. Then you will work with two windows, it will be like two tabs in your browser, but in this sample, only one will be a tab and another will be a popup window.
Sample code:
<h:commandLink id="openPopUp" value="OPEN POPUP" target="blankPopUp" onclick="window.open('','blankPopUp','status=no,toolbar=no,location=no,menubar=no,resizable,width=1008,height=690,scrollbars,left=100,top=50');" action="#{yourBean.navigateToSecondPage}" />Regards.

Rendering popup windows in JSF form on demand

Hello,
i have a form with a RichFaces menu bar at the top and several other UI components , eg. commandButtons. When a <rich:menuItem> or a <a4j:commandButton> component is clicked, a hidden modal popup window appears for user interaction. At the moment, all JSF files associated with the NetBeans project are downloaded to the client machine.
In order to reduce network traffic for low bandwidth internet connections, i would like to only download the popup window JSF files from the server to the client if the relevant form UI component is clicked.
Would anyone suggest a possible method to achieve this please?
Thanks,
Mark Weatherill.

you can open a popup page from commandButton like,
onclick="window.open('http://www.myapp.com/faces/popup.jsp'); return false;"Use the same faces-managed-bean to input data (on popup page and on the main page). Before closing the popup page you can submit its form to update the model. And after closing the popup page you can refresh the main page. Beware that you might have problems with refreshing in https connection (getting "access is denied" exceptions in jscript)

Dowload file using popup window

My JSP page mutiple download buttons. On clickof this button i am opening a popup window which calls the download servlet. The system can be used by mutilple users. Due to download memory limitatons, only one user can be allowed to download at a time in the servlet. My requirement is, when the download is going on for one user,and when other users try to download the file, i need to show busy screen for them and soon as the first user download completes, the next download from the pool should start automatically by replacing the busy window. Plz suggest me if you have any idea.

I have one abstract idea for this. Create one more servlet for controlling purpose. Let the clients to contact this servlet for the file. If the real servlet is free then it will forward it to real one else it will send some response to client which indicates server busy. In this response put some client side script to send the request for every 10 sec( it should be decided by u this time frame). Make sure that your controlling servlet maintain some data to identify the older request. Pass the older request to the original servlet once real servlet is free.
i had similar solution, it was working fine for single client. When i was testing fro multiple concurrent customers, the popup windows behaviour was unexpected. Let us say, i opened 4 broser instances and cliked on 4 webpages download buttons. As per my implementation the first cliked one started downloading and for other users i am showing busy popup window. As soon as the first one finished downloading, the either of 3 waiting requests will be served in the pool. For the one whose download slot available, the new window will be opened with download servlet and i am closing the busy popup window for that client. This goes on like this. During the process sometimes, i am getting the same file downloaded for 2 clients. The first download works fine, no problem. The second download also works fine, but when thid download starts, insted of opening for separate window for download, it shows the same file which downloaded for second client or browser. I am pasting here below the code which i am working on.

How to open a popup window through JSF

Hi,
I am new to JSF technology. I want to open a popup JSF page from home page. Is there any way to do that without using JS ? B'z i saw the link forum.exadel.com/viewtopic.php?t=559, In this he is using JS function to open the new window. I want to do that without using Script.
Thanks in advance.
Sudhakar

assign a new frame name / window name to a form's target, when the form will be submitted, a new window will pop up
But, AFAIK, you won't be able to set any of its properties (size, modal & so on), so JavaScript remains the best solution IMHO

ABAP Web Dynpro Window Inactive After Closing Popup Window

Hello ABAP'ers
I have a custom ABAP Web dynpro applications that uses multiple tiers of popup windows. This application was functioning properly in our ECC6.0, Basis release 7.00 Service level 15 environment. However, we are currently installing EHP4 and moving or basis release to 7.01 service level 5. In this new environment, when multiple popup window tiers are closed simultaneously, the underlining window is not re-activated.
Here's a more specific description:
The application starts with a control panel window presenting a series of buttons. Selecting one of these buttons activates a modal (I know... all web dynpro popups are modal) popup window for the purpose of maintaining some object. If the user attempts to exit this window without saving the changes, another popup window appears asking if they want to save their changes. If they say no, both the popup window asking the question and the popup maintenance window are closed, thus returning the user to the switchboard.
The problem is that none of the functionality on the switchboard is active. the user must manually refresh the URL to "reactivate" the switchboard.
When only a single popup window is closed, the underlying window is properly reactivated. The problem only occurs when multiple popups are closed together.
Has anybody else seen this occur? Any ideas / notes around to correct it?
Any info is greatly appreciated.

How to create a popup view in mobile application?

Hi folks, i need some help to do popup window in mobile application, i see that mobile don´t have a wdComponentAPI that is a controller of Web Dynpro JAVA, so what i´ll should do?
So, thats it

Hi Ronaldo,
I suppose there is no such API for handheld applications.I have another suggestion.
You can also create another view (the popup view) and make it behave like a popup.
So, on an event handler of the first view, for ex click of a button, you fire the outbound plug of this view which is linked to the inbound plug of the popup view.This will bring up the popupview - the first view will be unloaded from memory.
In the popup view, on an event handler (for ex OK button), fire the outboundplug which is linked to inbound plug of first view.So the first view gets loaded when the Ok button is clicked.
To ensure that you dont loose the data on the first view, make sure that the controls on the view are bound to context attributes.
I hope this helps.Let me know if you have further queries.
Best Regards,
Amit

af:showPrintablePageBehavior problem against af:treetable on Popup window

I just used <af:showPrintablePageBehavior> for <af:treetable>, but got a wrong printable page. I faced this problem on new popup window, which is a browser popup window rather than adf faces inline popup.
After treating <af:treetable> using <af:showPrintablePageBehavior> in popup window, I just found all cells in the table was gone on the printable page while the table header was preserved. It seems like this:
Item | Col1 | Col2 | Col3 | Col4 | Col5 |
Rows 1-0 of 4
Such effect is kinda like the situation when u configure *<output-mode>printable</output-mode> in trinidad-config.xml*, which simply truncates the treetable.
Such effect is gone when you are not using popup window. In other words, you won't face this problem and will get a normal treetable with full data when using tab or browser window.
But currently the requirement needs that this is be done in popup window.
Anyone give me a hint on solving this?

I installed Lion 10.7.4. Went to use Photoshop Cs and got a popup window. You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Is there a way of getting this to work or do I have to get the all new!

I installed Lion 10.7.4. Went to use Photoshop Cs and got a popup window. You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Is there a way of getting this to work or do I have to get newest version of all of my Power PC apps?

Welcome to Apple Communities
PowerPC applications are unsupported in newer versions. You can upgrade Photoshop or you can install Snow Leopard in a partition.
1. Open Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities) and select your drive
2. Go to Partitions tab, press + button, create a new partition and press Apply
3. Insert the Snow Leopard install DVD and reboot pressing C key
4. Install it in the new partition
5. If you want to change boot, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select 10.7

Error when calling a popup window in the initial screen of an application

Hi,
    I am calling a popup window in the Initial screen to select the variant list.
I am getting an error reference to Null Object reference.
Here is the Error.
Runtime Errors         OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED_NO
Exception              CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL
Date and Time          15.06.2007 10:00:16
Short text
Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
What happened?
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "CL_WDR_MESSAGE_AREA===========CP" had to be
terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
What can you do?
Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
administrator.
Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
at and manage termination messages, and you can also
keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not
caught in
procedure "SUPPLY_VIEW_DATA" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')
access a component.
An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)
before it can be used to access components.
Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the
CLEAR statement.
How to correct the error
Probably the only way to eliminate the error is to correct the program.
If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
keywords:
"OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED_NO" "CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL"
"CL_WDR_MESSAGE_AREA===========CP" or "CL_WDR_MESSAGE_AREA===========CM00Q"
"SUPPLY_VIEW_DATA"
If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
notification to SAP, include the following information:
1. The description of the current problem (short dump)
To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
(Unconverted)".
2. Corresponding system log
Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.
Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes
after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File
(Unconverted)".
3. If the problem occurs in a problem of your own or a modified SAP
program: The source code of the program
In the editor, choose "Utilities->More
Utilities->Upload/Download->Download".
4. Details about the conditions under which the error occurred or which
actions and input led to the error.
The exception must either be prevented, caught within proedure
"SUPPLY_VIEW_DATA" "(METHOD)", or its possible occurrence must be declared in
the
RAISING clause of the procedure.
To prevent the exception, note the following:
Looking for Ur valuable suggestions.
Cheers,
Sam

Hi Sam,
The correct code for creating a popup window will be:
data lo_window_manager type ref to if_wd_window_manager.
data lo_api_component type ref to if_wd_component.
data lo_window         type ref to if_wd_window.
lo_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
lo_window         = lo_window_manager->create_window(
                     window_name            = 'WINDOW_NAME'
*                    title                  =
*                    close_in_any_case      = abap_true
                     message_display_mode   = if_wd_window=>co_msg_display_mode_selected
*                    close_button           = abap_true
                     button_kind            = if_wd_window=>co_buttons_okcancel
                     message_type           = if_wd_window=>co_msg_type_none
                     default_button         = if_wd_window=>co_button_ok
lo_window->open( ).
Hope this helps.

I'm still getting all these annoying popups windows, although I followed every solution suggested(safari extensions,block the pop ups) it's really disturbing please help

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

JDeveloper popup window using ADF Faces

Has anyone actually managed to get a popup window working properly using ADF Faces? I have slavishly copied examples from the Developer's Guide, but nothing works - I never get a popup window appearing.

I'm back again and unfortunately I haven't got this to work. I've scaled down my jsp to just include enough to test the pop-up functionality.
First here's the code from my jsp page(index.jsp):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<%@ taglib uri="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/html" prefix="afh"%>

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces" prefix="af" %>
<f:view>
<afh:html>
<afh:head title="JSF Test Pop-up Page">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/>
<meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="true"/>
</afh:head>
<afh:body>
<af:commandLink text="Test Pop-up" action="dialog:test" useWindow="true"/>
</afh:body>
</afh:html>
</f:view>
and here's a copy of faces-config.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<!DOCTYPE faces-config PUBLIC
"-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JavaServer Faces Config 1.1//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_1.dtd">
<faces-config xmlns="http://java.sun.com/JSF/Configuration">
<application>
<default-render-kit-id>oracle.adf.core</default-render-kit-id>
</application>

<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/index.jsp</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>dialog:test</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/results.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
</faces-config>
According to the docs on ADF Dialog Framework this is all I need to have in place in order for it to work. What am I missing?
Thanks again to all replies.

Open popup window; using struts

function showPopUp() {
window.open('/PrepareAddAction.do', "", "resizable, height=200, width=200");
I am try to open a popup window but the above code getting exception.
A new window opens but getting error
The requested resource (/PrepareAddAction.do) is not available
what is missing and how to fix this?
Thanks.

What you are missing is your "context" as part of your URL.
The webserver treats "/" as the root of the webserver. Presumably you want it to be the root of your web application context. You need to add the context path to all urls generated into HTML. The struts tags can help you do this.
Couple of solutions:
window.open('<%= "/" + request.getContextPath() + "/PrepareAddAction.do" %>', "", "resizable, height=200, width=200");
or using the struts html:rewrite tag:
window.open('<html:rewrite action="PrepareAddAction"/>', "", "resizable, height=200, width=200");
Both should have approximately the same result.
