Stuck in custom component

Hello,
I'm just to stupid, but I can't get my custom component to work.
I want a special link around wrapped content, something like <i:popupLayer value="#{bundle.hint}" ... > <%-- stuff --%> </i:popupLayer> I also need EL expressions at least for the value. My problem is, there are two ways to render this: I can do HTML with ResponseWriter or I can include JSF components. But when including JSF how to wrap the encodeChildren(), how to add end tags to encodeEnd()? (I also tried to add the tags content as children to the commandLink, but could not get that to work also.)
When writing HTML instead another problem comes around, I always retrieve EL string, not the evaluated value. I cannot create binding that way it will get evaluated for resulting link (HTML-A).
I prefer having the EL evaluated because then it's simpler to include this message into my needed JavaScript code.
Can anyone give me some hints, lead me to a bit more sophisticated tutorials or stuff?
Regards,
Thorsten

Hi,
tell me please, why can't you create a binding?
I think i lost your idea...

How Do I Link to Custom Component States From Scrolling Content Buttons?

Hi there, I'm in need of some help as i've got a deadline to meet within the next few weeks and im stuck!
Basically what I've done is i've made a scrolling content lists, containing about 10 products in each one, my plan was to turn each product into a button so that users could click on that product, and take them to a new page containing more detailed information on that product; when they've finished looking at that product they can click a button to return them to the list they were on previously. However I can't just make a brand new state for each product as there is a limit to 20 states, and I will need around 50 of them.
So, from what i've read I will need to create custom components. the only trouble with doing this is that I can't link to the custom component on a different main timeline state (I dont get the option to link to the states of the custom component).
If i put the image of the detailed product into the scroll panel I am able to link to it, however, it's inside the scrolling content and it just scrolls around and stuff which isn't what I want; as it makes it look messy.
- Basically I just need to link from the buttons in the scrolling list, to a more detailed page for that product. Then be able to return to the list using a button.
If anybody has any input on how to achieve this, please help me out. Starting to panic now as this needs to be finished before september :s
Btw i'm happy to share my .fxp file it that helps.
Thanks alot, Hoping for some helpful replies on this topic
- Tom

Hi Tom,
Adding this back here to share my wireframe with the community.
Have put a quick .fxp together based on the 'product' section of your project.
Take a look at how the product lists are linking into the product detail pages within their custom components.
Using this model you should be able to expand out to infinite product detail states. If a particular product area has more than the maximum allowed states, just start a new custom component (part 2 for that product section).
Let me know if you have any questions. Hope this sets you on a path to getting your project complete. It's looking nice.

Custom component: porting from lc 8.0 to lc 8.2

hello
i developed a java pojo custom component for lc 8.0, essentially it connected to a db and returned a complex object. Now the environment has been upgraded to lc 8.2 . I've loaded my processes (which include my custom component) on the new environment. When i start the process , my component reaches the finally block where i've logged the db connections closing. Immediatly after the system crushes with the following error(i haven't added the whole stack trace because its huge):
2009-04-10 13:11:21,422 WARN [com.arjuna.ats.jta.logging.loggerI18N] [com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjunacore.lastResource.disallow] [com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjunacore.lastResource.disallow] Adding multiple last resources is disallowed.

After that jboss get stucked, printing exceptions every 2 minutes, and i need to stop and restart it. I don't see anything wrong with my code: i get the datasource object, i get a coonettin from it, make my queries/updates and finally i close the connection.
googling i've found this might be due to datasource item being local-tx-datasource instead of xa-datasource, but all datasources are of this kind.
Any hint about this problem will be greatly appreciated
thank you in advance
Stefano

hi Steve
thank you for your answer. Unluckly i'm not using mysql but oracle 9i (or 10i i don't know since i'm just a poor programmer). Anyway i did a test : i've bypassed the datasource file , hardcoding the connection parameters in my custom component and it has got executed without problem, then process has crushed again on a query done by some adobe component. there are many adobe sql component instances to read/write from the same schema my compnent uses, so i suppose the problem is inside datasource configuration. There's a datasource sample for oracle too?
I cannot give much details, since the new system has been recently installed and i don't know all info (i think jboss is 4.2 but i'm not sure)
thanks again

Custom Validator for a Custom Component

I am having troubling passing values from my custom component
to my custom validator (via a model). For some reason when the
validate() function is called for the validator the value parameter
passed to the validator is not showing the value from my custom
component.
I have attached some example code to illustrate.
Here is my model:
<mx:Model id="myModel">
<root>
<mod>
<name>{myTextInput.text}</name>
<date>{myDateField.selectedDate.getTime()}</date>
<length>{myComp.getLength()}</length>
</mod>
</root>
</mx:Model>
When I update the value of myTextInput or myDateField the
model (as sent to the validator) shows the correct value. When I
change the value of myComp the change is not reflected.
Is there a particular event (or something) being dispatched
in the other components to cause the model to get the new value
that I need to include in my custom component? I am pretty stuck
and would appreciate any help.
Many thanks

Does myComp extend EventDispatcher (or any class which does)?
You need to flag the getLength() function as bindable and to
dispatch an event:
[Bindable('getLengthChange")]
public function getLength() : Number
// does whatever it does
When you update myComp have it dispatchEvent( new
Event("getLengthChange") ) and I think it will work.

HtmlCommandLink in a custom component

Hi everybody,
seems like I got stuck with this Problem here: I am trying to create HtmlCommandLink within my custom component that points to a method via method binding. My code looks as follows:
ResponseWriter writer = context.getResponseWriter();
HtmlForm htmlForm = new HtmlForm();
htmlForm.encodeBegin(getFacesContext());
HtmlCommandLink htmlCommandLink = new HtmlCommandLink();
htmlCommandLink.setParent(htmlForm);
MethodBinding methodBinding = getFacesContext().getApplication().createMethodBinding("#{TestAction.defaultAction}", null);
htmlCommandLink.setAction(methodBinding);
htmlCommandLink.encodeBegin(getFacesContext());
writer.write("Link");
htmlCommandLink.encodeEnd(getFacesContext());
htmlForm.encodeEnd(getFacesContext());
The Link is created in the page and I can click on it but the method is not invoked. I can invoke it in the code manually which means the reference to the method is working. Am I missing something here?
Any help appreciated
Florian

thanks for your help, and i change the code as :
@Override
     public void encodeBegin(FacesContext context) throws IOException {
          if (context == null) {
               throw new NullPointerException();
          ResponseWriter writer = context.getResponseWriter();
          ExpressionFactory expressionFactory = context.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().getExpressionFactory();
          ELContext elContext = context.getCurrentInstance().getELContext();
          MethodExpression actionExpression = expressionFactory.createMethodExpression(elContext,
                    "#{UserManager.actionLoad}",null, new Class[] {ActionEvent.class});
          UIParameter parameter = (UIParameter)context.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createComponent(UIParameter.COMPONENT_TYPE);
          parameter.setId("addId");
          parameter.setTransient(false);
          parameter.setName("id2");
          parameter.setValue(34);
          HtmlCommandLink link = (HtmlCommandLink) context.getApplication().createComponent(HtmlCommandLink.COMPONENT_TYPE);
          HtmlForm form = new HtmlForm();
          form.setId("pageForm");
          link.setTransient(true);
          link.setValue("Create");
          link.setActionExpression(actionExpression);
          link.getChildren().add(parameter);
          this.getParent().getChildren().add(link);
          form.encodeBegin(context);
          link.encodeBegin(context);
          link.encodeEnd(context);
          form.encodeEnd(context);
I can click on it but the method is not invoked.
Any help appreciated.

Access data in custom component.

Hi Everyone,
                I am new to Flex soo pardon me if my questions are quite basic. I have searched a lot before posting here, might be I was not looking in the right direction. Please redirect me to the path that leads to the solution of the problem. I really appreciate any help that I can get.
I'm followiing this video tutorial.
http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play.php?id=100
All was going fine, until the tutor wanted to add custom component in the application. He added the HBox which I couldn't find in Flash Builder 4.6 so I added HGroup instead in my new component. Now when I want to use the data that was fetched in the parent component in custom component it gives me error. Here is the code and their file names.

What needs to be done to use the item renderer right in custom component ? Please tell me the solution to it... I'm stuck on it for quite a few time.
Thanks

Hello Ravi,
one option is the create a public attribute to share your value note data with other components.
Another option is a function group with two function modules "SET_" and "GET_".
I´m sure one of the webclient UI Gurus here in this forum could share less "dirty" ways with you.
Kind regards

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 ??
Regards,
Raghu

Custom component composed of other components

Hello.
I have a form (long, but simple) that is reused a few times across my applicaition. It would be great if I could package it as a JSF component. But I see no obvious way to create an UIComponent composed of other UIComponents.
Are UIComponents really meant to be written from scrach, each parsing it's own request parameters and outputting raw html? Am I missing something?
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply, but I'm still stuck...
How do I go about writing a composite custom
component? Instanciating all sub components and
delegating encoding and decoding to each? That's the road I try to take first.
- Construct a SMALL test-bed application to develop your component.
- consider implementing the naming container interface if you add components as children
- consider acquiring "JSF in Action" from Kito Mann, it's the book with most samples for component building
- announce "absences" to your family. It takes longer than you think beforehand ;-)
- If your servlet-container starts up in less than 10 seconds it's better...
I'm afraid to be asking too much, but does anyone
know where can I find an example of this? I'm
currently browsinng the MyFaces code, but so far
whithout much luck....Well the myfaces code is the second best source after JSF in action and then there are a few tutorials on the net... time to surf to google and http://www.jsftutorials.net/
hope this helps

How to get an event both in custom component and into its instance

I have a custom component that extends a Jtree
I want to know when a node is clicked both , into my component and after into the component sited into Jpanel
now, I can only detect it into the component, but I dont know how to detect it at the component I have in my Jpanel
I have 'addTreeSelectionListener' in both places ...
xxxxx.addTreeSelectionListener(new javax.swing.event.TreeSelectionListener() {
public void valueChanged(javax.swing.event.TreeSelectionEvent e) { .....
Any help ?
Thanks

Thank you.
I think that a good answer can be ' Revise your code, because there must be a problem' Well, that's the life of a programmer. If you want to post an SSCCE, I'm sure somebody can help if you get stuck.
And ...
Why are you extending JTree? I'd bet you shouldn't be.Why not ? ....
Why SUN develop the 'extends' functionality ? You should use extends if you're changing the behavior of an existing class. An example of this is extending JPanel and overriding the paintComponent() method to do some custom painting.
You should not use extends if you just need an instance of an existing class. An example of this is extending JFrame instead of simply creating a JFrame instance.
Without seeing your code, I can't be sure you're misusing extends. But many people do.
Here's an example.
Bad:
public class MyProgram extends JFrame{
   public MyProgram(){
      setSize(200, 200);
      setVisible(true);
   public static void main(String [] args){
      new MyProgram();
}Better:
public class MyProgram{
   public MyProgram(){
      JFrame frame = new JFrame();
      frame.setSize(200, 200);
      frame.setVisible(true);
   public static void main(String [] args){
      new MyProgram();
}

Custom Component with xfaForm input

Hi. I'm trying to create a custom component that takes as one of its inputs either an xfaForm, a Document containing XML, or an xml variable. So my service method has a variable called data which is just an Object. When I pass in the xfaForm I get a class cast exception when casting the object to the XFARepositoryFormInstance class. I even print out the object and it shows me that its an XFARepositoryFormInstance. Do I have to do something special to work with an xfaForm inside the component? It seems like some sort of class loading issue or something.
I'm stuck. Anybody have thoughts?
Thanks,
Bryan

I'm unstuck :) The key to getting this to work is to import the packages you are going to use in your component.xml.
So, for me..I had to add the following:
        com.adobe.idp.workflow.dsc.type
        com.adobe.idp.taskmanager.form
        com.adobe.idp.taskmanager.form.impl
        com.adobe.idp.taskmanager.form.impl.xfa

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";

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.

Unable to Edit the View in Custom Component

Hi Experts,
Please help me to resolve this issue !
I am unable to lock the BOL Entity in my custom component using BTAdminH. I have written the below code in the Edit event Handler for Edit Button. The lr_entity->lock( ) condition statement is getting false and it is skipping the "set_view_editable( me )." code statement. Why??
This is code excerpt that I have taken from edit button of the BP_HEAD/AccountViewSet and altered to my component/View
DATA: lr_entity     TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_entity,
        lr_controller TYPE REF TO cl_ZVKH8_bspwdcomponent_impl.
TRY.
      lr_controller ?= me->comp_controller.
      lr_entity ?= lr_controller->typed_context->btadminh->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
IF lr_entity IS BOUND.
IF lr_entity->IS_LOCKED EQ abap_false.
    IF le_entity->IS_CHANGEABLE EQ abap_true.
       IF lr_entity->lock( ) EQ abap_true.
        me->view_group_context->set_view_editable( me ).
       ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
and when I directly executed the below code in the Edit event Handler for Edit Button I am receiving the dereferencing NULL value exception. Why in my custom component in many places this happening??
me->view_group_context->set_view_editable( me ).
Exception Details
CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL - Dereferencing of the NULL reference
Method: ZL_ZVKH8_DETAILSEF_IMPL=>EH_ONBACK
Thanks,

Hi Summit & NishaNC,
Thanks for your responses !
As suggested, I have debugged the code for ->lock( ) method and there are exceptions raised from some methods.
Method GET_LOCK () -> Method GET_ROOT () ->Method GET_PARENT ()
At GET_ROOT( ) method i have received an exception
"Root entity BTAdminH could not be determined" and one more "Entity BTAdminH could not be locked"
Later when I have checked in MODEL Browser, I found that the BOL object "BTAdminH" for my view is an Access object and not the Root Object.
Hence, I have a question? Does the locking can be done only for ROOT Objects?
If this is TRUE then I think this is the major problem with my custom component where even the cross component navigation is also not happening and in many places I am receiving "Dereferencing NULL Value" information.
Also I have gone through some of the Threads and one information that I found from Sumit Mittal
1. An access object is an independent entity, has primary keys of its own.
2. A root object is a special access object that is at the top of the hierarchy based on business rules.
3. A dependent object's primary keys are supplied by access objects and it's lifetime is bound to them. If the parent object is destroyed, the dependent object is also destroyed.
4. Search objects are query objects useful for querying root objects
5. Search result objects - Search objects return the results in the form of a result object together with a relation pointing to the root object.
6. View objects - ?
7. Dynamic search objects - Used in advanced search, supports ranges and operators
Could you please specify in which scenarios we have to go for Access Objects and Root Objects
Thanks,
Bujji

How do you reference a valueObject located in main to a custom component created in Catalyst?

Hello,
I have been working with the Catalyst Beta 2 / Flash Builder beta trying to create a photogallery and have hit a little bit of a snag, try as I might I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I am still new to Flex so please excuse me if this is a basic question, I have been trying to understand more about Flex to make my designs in Catalyst better.
I found this video on Adobe TV: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/rich-internet-applications-101/ria-stepbystep-16-binding-a-data- service-to-flash-builder-components/
It's wonderful and I have the datalist I created in Catalyst working with the XML file I generated but I designed my little photogallery a bit diffrent, I created a Custom Component in Catalyst so that when you click an item on the DataList it pop's up a little screen with a larger photo in on it, rather then having an image in the main application. Now my problem seems to be that I can't refrence the valueObject I created with the wizard as it's in my Main.mxml file, is there a way to refrence it from my Custom Component so the larger image will display? Is there a way to let the component know which item on the dataList in the main application is selected and display the correct image?
I should also say I really enjoy working with the Beta for both Flash Builder / Catalyst, thanks for the hard work!
Thanks for the help,
Chris

I am afraid you cannot bind to static properties in Windows Store Apps. It is simply not supported.
You could create a proxy class that exposes the static command property and bind to this property of an instance of the proxy object:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14186175/bind-to-a-static-field-in-windows-8-xaml
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4708711/how-can-i-use-the-xstatic-extension-for-phone7-silverlight-apps
You will of course have to create an instance of the proxy object. There is no way around this.
