Steps to custom component

dears,
i want to create new custom component , and want to use the saveState and restoreState, can any one help me ??

You lazy kid.
Here is an extract of HtmlInputText:
    public Object saveState(FacesContext _context) {
        if (_values == null) {
            _values = new Object[29];
        _values[0] = super.saveState(_context);
        _values[1] = accesskey;
        _values[2] = alt;
        _values[3] = autocomplete;
        _values[4] = dir;
        _values[5] = disabled;
        _values[6] = label;
        _values[7] = lang;

Creating a custom component in multisim using *.lib and *.olb files

i have *.lib and *.olb files for a pspice model. which file i have to you while creating a custom component in multisim.

Hello,
Thanks for your question. In order to create simulatable custom components in Multisim you need a SPICE model (Multisim can also understand PSpice Models). The file format for SPICE model can be different according to the manufacturer, for instance: *.cir, *.lib, *.llb. At the end of the day these files are text files that you can open with a text editor, therefore, you can simply copy and paste the model in Multisim.
Here are two good resources on component creation:
Component Creation 101
Creating a Custom Component in NI Multisim
When you reach the step where you need to enter the SPICE model, simply open the *.lib or *.olb file with a text editor, and copy and paste the model.
Hope this helps.

Error when installing a Custom Component

Hi there,
I wrote a custom component and built the according jar-file. The next step was to import the jar-file into the workbench.
When I tried to do so the following error occurred (workbench .log file):
!ENTRY com.adobe.DSC_Admin_UI 4 4 2008-01-15 16:05:43.418
!MESSAGE install of C:\tmp\adobe-components\adobe-component.jar failed
!STACK 0
ALC-DSC-000-000: com.adobe.idp.dsc.DSCRuntimeException: Internal error.

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\ArchiveStore\306\at\integrata\livecycle\component\Boot strapImpl.class (The system cannot find the path specified)
The problem is, that the workbench is not running on the same computer as the ES server. When I extract the jar-file manually into the considered directory on the server everything works fine.
Is this a bug or even not possible to import components from a remote workbench?
kind regards
Michael

Hy all,
I have been having the same problem.
I think the cause with me is that I added libraries my component needs manually into the jar-file of my component and sometimes I added the component.xml file manually into the component-jar. I use 7Zip for this but every I did that I could not get the component to install correctly, unless I unpacked it manually in the temp-dir.
I believe this is happens because when I manually place files in the jar file with a tool like 7Zip they are automatically being compressed and the jar-file of a component must not be compressed.
So therefore I imported everything correctly in my Eclipse-project and now when I Export my component to a jar-file, everything is included and I don't have to place files manually into the jar-file of my component.
When I install a component created like that I don't have any problems.
Hope this helps for you to.

RonnyR

How a custom component is called when we install a custom component in UCM.

How a custom component is called when we install a custom component in UCM.
On what event the component services will be activated and called.
Suppose i create a Custom service name MULTIPLECHECKIN then this service will be called on what event and where it will be defined to call.

Saurabh,
the code is packed in the component (see component\Security Filter\java\Security Filter\ModifyAttributesFilter.java - the first Security Filter is the component name, the other Security Filter is the Java package name).
What is important:
- your class must implement the FilterImplementor interface (you will need UCM standard classes - server.zip in your classpath) and its doFilter method
How the filter is executed?
- actually, in this case you don't need any new service - you can use the standard 'hook', which is provided by standard checkin services
- in Component Wizard create a new component, add your compiled class to it (make sure you follow the rules not to end up in classpath issues)
- in Component Wizard click the 'Java Code' tab. Here you can add a Custom filter called validateCheckinData, which is executed by standard checkin services. If you parametrize the filter to call your class created above, you are done.
'Working with Content Components' manual (e.g. here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10316_01/cs/cs_doc_10/documentation/developer/using_components_10en.pdf) can give you a basic picture. A better resource is Bex Huff's book - I would recommend you to get it, because it has a step-by-step HelloWorld example which can guide you through Component Wizard. I could also send you my own component (send me an email at [email protected]) which implements a filter for user quotas, so you just need to "replace classes".
As for the other half of your task, searching for the file in the database server will work only if you use database as your storage (ie. install and configure File Store Provider component accordingly). Of course, you could do a search for file in this case - just consider that you will be comparing two BLOBs rather than two relatively short check-sums (most likely strings or arrays of bytes). Besides, it will not work if you use filesystem as your storage.

Nesting JSF components in a custom component

I'm creating a new JSF custom component. my component needs to include an input text and a list box. my question is : how do I add these components to my JSF component ? I want to use to JSF component to render them rather then encoding the HTML myself. how can I do it ?
I was told I need to use encodeChildren method somehow but I don't know how ?

I finally found how to set a default skin to a custom component so that users of my component will not have to set again the skinClass value of my component.
You have to create a defaults.css file at the root of your library and tell the compiler to take it into account.
The remaining problem is about the compiler. There are some steps before success and they are a bit mysterious/unclear....
I found 2 or 3 blog articles explaining those steps but the compiler arguments to use are all differents in each article...

Nest array in a custom component

Hello and thanks in advance,
I am building a custom datagrid component name custDG. It is a canvas containing the DG and some other visuals. So the actual component is based on canvas and has a DataGrid nested.
I have also build a custom class name config based on Array to hold the DG column information
AND a custom object class name col to hold each column information inside the config array class...
My question is how to make it possible for user to nest the array and columns inside the custom component when adds it to an application. For example:
<mike:custDG... >
     <mike:config>
          <mike:col.../>
          <mike:col.../>
          <mike:col.../>
     </mike:config>
</mike:custDG... >
Want to make something similar to the columns-datagridcolumn thingie but with custom classes in a custom component.
Anyone plz?
Thanks

Custom component property value handling at run time

I would like to develop simple custom component which has three properties PROP1, PROP2 & RESULT . These parameters are bound to excel sheet cells as follows..
cell A1 connected to PROP1
cell A2 connected to PROP2 and
cell A3 connected to RESULT.
In excel A1 cell has excel formula set as =IF(A2<5,10,0).
Custom component would be simple button display at runtime and on click of the same, I would like to perform following actions in sequence with N number of times.
1. First push any random number to PROP2. (which is simple task, I believe)
2. Pick new value of PROP1 which is changed due to existance of excel formula (+ using dispatchevent I could able to pass value to excel cell A2. But not able to read new value of PROP1+)
3. check new PROP1 value equal to 10. If it is 10 then count it otherwise again push new random value to PROP2.
4. Continue step 1 to 3 till N number of times. and finally
4. Push number of counts for PROP1 value 10 to RESULT parameter.
All the parameters are bindable (getter/setter with [Bindable]) in Flex component application and flex propertysheet application use binding ID to bind with cell address. with binding direction BOTH and SINGLETON
Here is flex function code which triggered at button click.
public function test002():void {
while ( N < 100)
this.PROP2 = Math.round(Math.random()*1000);
dispatchEvent(new PropertyChangeEvent(PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE, false, false, PropertyChangeEventKind.UPDATE, "PROP2", null, PROP2, this));
     if (this.PROP1 == 10)
      cnt++;
   this.RESULT = cnt;
My observations are as follows.
- new push of value to PROP2 get reflected to excel A2 when button click event is over, not at the time of while loop process execution.
- Also I observed PROP1 value never changes and it is the value which is recorded just before button click event of component at run time and remain the same till button click event is over.
- Further to this I notice as click event is over, new value of PROP2 reflected in cell A2 and change value (if it passes IF formula of excel ) in A1 as well. Next button click action takes these new A1 and A2 values in consideration and process the function "test002".
I would like to understand possibility of custom component event execution process, which can able to pass as well as read value from component parameters to underlying excel with changes due to excel formula existance. If it is not limitations (If so) what is the set of commands which can be helpful to achieve this. I appreciate if anybody explain typical event execution required in such scenarios with some actionscript code directions.
Thanks

Marton,
I have tried your solution. It works well immediately after xcelsius dashboard get displayed or preview. It does not wait click event to happen. So I modified further by adding one switch ( "switch001" in code piece shown below) to control iteration by click event. That stops running of iteration immediate after dashboard display.
In order to see iteration I have to click twice on button. First click does send "frm" parameter value to excel and excel formula operates. The excel formula result send back to component via SETTER of "frmResult" . But it stops over there. If I click second time the iteration starts for 100 times.
Also I try to export this to PDF. PDF file get generated. If I try to open PDF file it raise error.
My code is attached here.
"frm" is the parameter that sends random number to excel.
"frmResult" parameter receives excel formula output and send it back to component.
"test()" function operate on button click event and set switch001 and then calls "Calc" function for iterations.
MXML code..........
<mx:VBox>
       <mx:TextInput id="frmResultLabel" width="100" />
       <mx:Button label="test..." click="test()"/>
</mx:VBox>
Actionscript code
public var cnt:int;
          public var N:int = 0;
          public var sum:int = 0;
          public var switch001:Boolean = false;
         public function test():void {
               N = 0;
               sum = 0;
               switch001 = true;
          public function Calc():void {
          if (switch001 == true)
            if (N < 100)
                this.frm = Math.round(Math.random() * 1000);
            else if (N == 100) // return the result
                 this.frmResult = sum;
                 // Label component use to display frm and frmResult values at runtime
                 frmResultLabel.text = sum.toString() + ">" + this.frm + ">" + this.frmResult;
             N++;
          [Bindable]
          private var _frm:int;
          private var _frmChanged:Boolean = true;
          [Bindable]
          public function get frm():int
               return _frm;
          public function set frm(value:int):void
               //if (value == null) value = 0;
               if (_frm != value)
                    _frm = value;
                    _frmChanged = true;
                    invalidateProperties();
          override protected function commitProperties():void
             super.commitProperties();
             if (_frmResultChanged == true)
                    // start the cycle again by generating a new random number,
                    // or write out the result
                    Calc();

Custom Component Error -- Uggh

I have tried to solve the problem using online resouces, 3rd party message boards, Xcelsius tutorials, the textbook "Xcelsius 2008: Dashboard Best Practices", tutorials which came with the Xcelsius SDK, among others, however, I continue to run into problems. Additionally, I am have tried to fix by reading the Flex 3 SDK, Xcelsius 2008 SDK, and the samples for Xcelsius/Flex which came bundled in the SDK.
The problem is that the custom component, created in Flex 3 Hotfix and brought into Xcelsius using the Add-on Packager and the Add-on Manager does not display on the canvas. While all of the inherent components in Xcelsius work correctly the custom component does not display. When dropped on the canvas it simply disappears and never instatiates on the canvas and also is not listed inside the object browser. The custom component is, however, listed in the vertical menu under the category Add-Ons.
Example:
1. I use a sample Flex project which was included in the Xcelsius SDK and bring it into Flex 3 builder.
2. I configure the project to run appropriately in my local environment
3. I build the project successfully.
4. I open the Xcelsius Add-on Packager
4a. In the GENERAL tab I give the package a name
4b. In the VISUAL tab I type the name of the class (i.e. com.business.dept.project )
4c. In the VISUAL tab I type the display name (i.e. Email Component)
4d. In the VISUAL tab I type the directory location of the .swf (i.e. C:\Xcelsius\Flex\Project\Email\emailcomponent.swf )
4e. In the VISUAL tab I type the directory location of the property sheet (i.e. C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Xcelsius\SDK\bin\propertyinspector.swc )
4f. In the BUILD tab I build the component sucessfully
5. I open Xcelsius and go to File -- Manage Add-Ons
6. I add the new emailcomponent.xlx file to the Add-on Manager and select Close
7. I exit Xcelsius and reopen Xcelsius
8. The new component is listed in the vertical menu under Components -- Add-Ons
9. I test the function of inherent objects and drag a pie chart successfully onto the canvas of Xcelsius
10. I drag my new component onto the canvas, and while there is a visible border outline of the object as I drag over the canvas, when I drop the component onto the canvas the object does NOT appear on the canvas.
11. I re-test another inherent componet in Xcelsius which works fine
12. I re-test my component with the same failure.
Thank you for the assistance in advance.

I have successfully created a Flex component in Xcelsius. The data is static and hard coded into the Flex component which is not ideal, but it certainly is a step in the right direction.
My steps were as follows:
1. Create a new Flex project
2. Create a new Flex component and save it into the class namespace directory I was planning on using
3. Include all of the MXML logic for the application in the component file
4. Reference the component file in the Application file as a namespace reference
5. Save the file
6. Create an .xlx file using the Xcelsius Add-on Packager
7. Typing the class namespace location using the entire path and file name without the extension
8. Loading the new component into Xcelsius
9. Building the app.
Success.
Thank you for all the help

Writing a custom component with multiple fields.

Does anyone have some pointers on writing a custom component that properly handles multiple input fields?
An example usage might be as follows:
Assume the following java classes:
public interface Address {
//... getters/setters for Address.
public class Company{
Address getAddress(){...};
}The tag usage might be something like the following:
<custom:address value="#{myCompanyBean.address}" />
Extending UIComponentBase I can easily render the output and create all the needed input elements. I'm also able to properly retrieve the submitted values in the decode method. But I'm unsure how to handle the "UpdateModelValues" step. Do I simply over-ride processUpdates, or is there more housekeeping to be done?
Thanks.

I'm guessing that doing addChild inside createChildren causes an infinite loop.
Why aren't you just doing this with MXML? it would be a lot simpler.

Callling a Custom Component as Pop Up

Hi Experts,
I want to call a Custom Component as a Pop up screen in another component.
I have followed the below steps (got it from forum) ... but I got stuck at point 7)
7) While Creating the Component Usage, mention Component Name as your Z Component name and in the Interface View, choose MainWindow from the F4 help.
I am not getting any value in interface view (F4) ... pls let me know... how to proceed from here ..
Thanks & Regards,
Raghu
..................................................................................I followed these steps ..
You need to follow following steps:
1. Create an event handler for your click event on which you want to call this pop up.
2. Create a Z component with a table view and in the table view, define the context nodes and attributes you want to use in the pop up view.
3. In the .htm coding of this view, define the layout and buttons you want on this pop up view.
4. Go to Runtime Repositry, create a ViewSet, ViewArea and in this View Area add the table view you created just now.
5. Create a MainWindow in the Runtime repositry and add the same table view you created.
6. Now come back to the main Component and add Component Usage (e.g CUXYZ) .......
7. While Creating the Component Usage, mention Component Name as your Z Component name and in the Interface View, choose MainWindow from the F4 help.
8. Go to event handler method of your main Component/View and create separate methods for creating your pop up and handling the close event of the pop up as well.
For seeing the coding, you cna refer to any standard pop up handling and do the coding in similar format.
I hope this will helps you.

Hi Arun,
Created a interface view in my component B and added that in component usage in my component B.
And created a event handler and added the below code...
IF lv_popup IS NOT BOUND.
    lv_popup = me->comp_controller->window_manager->create_popup(
                          iv_interface_view_name = 'Z_POPUP/MainWindow'
                          iv_usage_name          = 'CUPopup'
                          iv_title               = 'Popup' ).
    lv_popup->set_window_width( iv_width = 600 ).
ENDIF.
But the component view is not displaying as popup ??
Can you pls guide me.. where I could hav gone wrong ??

How to add jar files to my custom component

Hi,
I have created a custom component through component wizard. I have to add jars, so the component will execute. Where to add those jar files? I tried adding it in classes folder, but its not working. Where to add it? and where else i have to make any changes?
Please provide inputs.
Thanks in advance

in the Component manifest.hda file, mention the jar files to be installed...see example below
@ResultSet Manifest

How to create a custom component in Integrator

Hi everybody, I'm trying to develop a custom componente for Endeca Integrator, following this guide:
http://www.cloveretl.com/blog/creating-your-own-component-in-cloveretl-step-by-step/
but, even if I installed Plug-in Development Environment (PDE), I can't see plug-in options in File->New->Others section, so I can't follow guide steps.
Is there any problem with my configuration of Integrator? Why can't I see plug-in development/deployment options anywhere in Integrator?
Is there eventually another way to implement a custom component in Integrator?
Thanks for your replies!

No, it doesn't. It's like PDE has never been installed, but I try to reinstall it through "Help"->"Install new software" I receive an error because the plug-in is installed.

Problem with inputText in my custom component

Hi, I have a custom dataTable component that I'm trying to get to work. It has to be a custom component because dataTable doesn't support rowspan, colspan, multi line headers, and a rendered attribute for rows. The problem is, that when I wrap the column tag inside my row tag then the method for the inputText tag never gets called in the UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES phase.
I'm starting to think that JSF doesn't support 2 levels of tags between the inputText and dataTable. I'm hoping that someone can tell me what I have wrong with my components.
Here is the JSP snippet.
<cjsf:rptTable>
     <cjsf:data id="dataTable1" value="#{allAuthUser.tableRows}" var="myTableRow1">
          <cjsf:row>
               <cjsf:col>
                    <h:inputText id="tableTestFld" value="#{myTableRow1.testFld}" size="5" maxlength="5"/>
               </cjsf:col>
          </cjsf:row>
     </cjsf:data>
</cjsf:rptTable>Here is what it renders. It looks to me like everything renders fine. So I'm guessing that there is something in a component that is causing JSF during the life cycle to not be able to process correctly.
<table>
     <tbody>
          <tr>
               <td><input id="tblmaintForm:body:dataTable1_0:tableTestFld" name="tblmaintForm:body:dataTable1_0:tableTestFld" type="text" value="" maxlength="5" size="5"/></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
               <td><input id="tblmaintForm:body:dataTable1_1:tableTestFld" name="tblmaintForm:body:dataTable1_1:tableTestFld" type="text" value="" maxlength="5" size="5"/></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
               <td><input id="tblmaintForm:body:dataTable1_2:tableTestFld" name="tblmaintForm:body:dataTable1_2:tableTestFld" type="text" value="" maxlength="5" size="5"/></td>
          </tr>
     </tbody>
</table>Note: If I leave off the row tag it renders the same way except of course the <tr> and </tr> tags are missing. If I do this, then the backing method for the inputText tag is called and everything works fine. Why doesn't it work with the row tag in place?
Here are the components:
public class UIRptTable extends UIComponentBase {
     public UIRptTable() {
          setRendererType("tblmaint.rptTableRenderer");
     public String getFamily() {
          return "javax.faces.Output";
public class UIRptTableData extends HtmlDataTable {
     public UIRptTableData() {
          setRendererType("tblmaint.rptTableDataRenderer");
     public String getFamily() {
          return "javax.faces.Data";
public class UIRptTableRow extends UIOutput {
     public UIRptTableRow() {
          setRendererType("tblmaint.rptTableRowRenderer");
     public String getFamily() {
          return "javax.faces.Output";
public class UIRptTableCol extends UIColumn {
     public UIRptTableCol() {
          setRendererType("tblmaint.rptTableColRenderer");
     public String getFamily() {
          return "javax.faces.Column";
}Here is part of the faces-config file in case you need it.

Hi, Ray!
1) I was trying to put a button in the column header (for sorting) and I couldn't get that to work. That involved the >colhdr tag. I got that to work but I don't remember the fix. I'll look it up and reply back with that when I can.Dealing the first part of your trouble, you need NOT a custom component.
I have looked through the implementation of RepeaterRenderer, as you advised me, and found that the multi-header possibility is included in the implementation of dataTable control.
The code below is the part of source of repeater.jsp with only change:
<d:data_repeater>  <h:dataTable>
And it works fine.
<h:dataTable id="table"
binding="#{RepeaterBean.data}"
     rows="5"
value="#{RepeaterBean.customers}"
var="customer">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Customer List"/>               <!� First Header row -- >
</f:facet>
<h:column>
<%-- Visible checkbox for selection --%>
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox
id="checked"
binding="#{RepeaterBean.checked}"/>
<%-- Invisible checkbox for "created" flag --%>
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox
id="created"
binding="#{RepeaterBean.created}"
rendered="false"/>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Account Id"/>               <!�Second Header row -- >
</f:facet>
<h:inputText id="accountId"
binding="#{RepeaterBean.accountId}"
required="true"
size="6"
value="#{customer.accountId}">
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="accountId"/>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Customer Name"/>               <!�Second Header row -- >
</f:facet>
<h:inputText id="name"
required="true"
size="50"
value="#{customer.name}">
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="name"/>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">                    <!�Second Header row -- >
<h:outputText value="Symbol"/>
</f:facet>
<h:inputText id="symbol"
required="true"
size="6"
value="#{customer.symbol}">
<f:validateLength
maximum="6"
minimum="2"/>
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="symbol"/>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">                    <!�Second Header row -- >
<h:outputText value="Total Sales"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText id="totalSales"
value="#{customer.totalSales}">
<f:convertNumber
type="currency"/>
</h:outputText>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">                    <!�Second Header row -- >
<h:outputText value="Commands"/>
</f:facet>
<h:commandButton id="press"
action="#{RepeaterBean.press}"
immediate="true"
value="#{RepeaterBean.pressLabel}"
type="SUBMIT"/>
<h:commandLink id="click"
action="#{RepeaterBean.click}"
immediate="true">
<h:outputText
value="Click"/>
</h:commandLink>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
You may have a look at HTML source to prove that dataTable is already what you need:
<table id="myform:table">
<thead>
<tr><th colspan="6" scope="colgroup">Customer List</th></tr>
<tr>
<th scope="col"></th>
<th scope="col">Account Id</th>
<th scope="col">Customer Name</th>
<th scope="col">Symbol</th>
<th scope="col">Total Sales</th>
<th scope="col">Commands</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
2.) The second trouble is still unsettled as previously. Right now I have different task at my job, and I can�t continue investigation of this problem.
But when you find smth., please let me know. I�ll be very grateful.

Oleksa Stelmakh
