Thread in action listener

Anyway, back to something that matters.....
public void StartSqueezing()
NozzleReady=false;
NozzleInUse=true;
NozzleNotInUse=false;
Runnable run1 = new Runnable() { public void run()
do{
LitresDispensedPerTransaction =+ 0.10;
try { Thread.sleep(200);}
catch(InterruptedException ex) {}
while (NozzleInUse == true );
Thread thrd1 = new Thread(run1);
thrd1.start();
I have put this is the action listener of a button and it wont work....any ideas???

Quit multi-posting. You already have a posting on the topic.
Not only that you haven't listened to any advice given in that topic so don't expect any further help.
a) still no "Code" tags
b) variable name still don't follow standards
If you want us to read you code then make an effor to make it readable.
You've already been given a link to the Swing tutorial, I suggest you take the time to read the section on "How to use Action Listeners".
This posting is now closed.

I need a code example for an action listener for a jcheckbox using matisse

I am trying to make it so that when some body clicks a jcheckbox it will put a figure into a jtextfield. Because I am using matisse I need to know the code for the action listener and I need to know quickly as well so I don't have time to look it up with searches etc.
Can anbody provide me with some example code please.

I thought that as you are all more experienced than I am that you would know where to look and as you would have already been to all of the sites you would have been able to save me a lot of time looking for the best one. I didn't mean to insult you sorry, I knew that I would be looking for a long time and hoped that some one could help speed that up for me.
Any way I have obviously annoyed you in that thread earlier this week. I know that you are all pee'd at me and don't believe me and that is fine. I have learnt every thing that I need to learn and would like to thank you for your help although I think that your language in your last post was not very pleasant, but that is ok.
I don't want to continue posting any more. But thank you for your help.

Add action listener to table cell

The topic of my previous thread was:
How can I get characters, which user inputs into table cell?
I've added lisateners to table:
table.addKeyListener(new java.awt.event.KeyAdapter() {
            public void keyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt){
                System.out.println("keyPressed");
            public void keyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt){
                System.out.println("keyReleased");
            public void keyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
                System.out.println("keyTyped");
        });But it's not exactly what I need.
I need to do the same, but with table cell.
I want to see user input char by char and set color font for user input string.
How can I add action listener to tble cell?

This is my newly created JTextField which I will use as CellEditor for My JTable
JTextField textField = new JTextField(); //creating Component
        textField.addKeyListener(new java.awt.event.KeyAdapter(){ //adding KeyListener
            public void keyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt){
                System.out.println("keyReleased" + ((JTextField)evt.getSource()).getText() + "column = " +table.getSelectedColumn());//test functionality
                if ( isColumnHasSameValue(table.getSelectedRow(),table.getSelectedColumn(), ((JTextField)evt.getSource()).getText() ) ){//test column for equal values
                    ((JTextField)evt.getSource()).setForeground(Color.RED); //if there is equal value set Color.RED for JTextField text
                else{ //else set Color.BLACK
                    ((JTextField)evt.getSource()).setForeground(Color.BLACK);
        table.getColumnModel().getColumn(1).setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(textField)); //set custom CellEditor
private boolean isColumnHasSameValue(int row, int column, String testVal){
        testVal = testVal.trim().toLowerCase(); //put away UpperCase and empty spaces
        for(int i=0;i<model.getRowCount();i++){
           if(i == row){
               continue;//skip selected row where user inputs text
           if(model.getValueAt(i,column).toString().trim().toLowerCase().startsWith(testVal)){
                return true; //if test passed
        return false; //if there are no mathes
    }I have a question:
It seems to me, I did not use optimal solution for JTable values testing.
What can ty else?
Maybe, It is better to use
tableModel.getDataVector();And then use Pattern and Matcher ?
Am I right?

How can i disable an Action listener temporary?

hi folks,
I have a GUI with many Jcomboxes. Each one of them has an actionlistener.
The idea was: when one of those comboboxes is selected, then the selected value will appear on ALL the comboboxes (by using setSelectedIndex(int index)).
The problem is when i select a value on ONE of those comboboxes and set it on the others, the actionListener thinks that i selcted a value on the other comboboxes and starts setting the values again... I other words if i select one combobox i obtain an endless loop...
Is it possible to disable the action listener temporary when setting the selectd values on the other comboboxes?

Just use removeActionListener and then addActionListener

Property on Backing Bean is Not set when Action Listener is Fired

Why is it that when my action listener is invoked, the property for my other component on the page has not been reflected in model yet?
Here is what I have:
My JSP has the following two components:
<h:inputText value="#{manageQuestionBean.newStory}"></h:inputText>
<h:commandButton value="add" actionListener="#{manageQuestionBean.onAddStory}"></h:commandButton> My Java code has the following:
public void onAddStory(ActionEvent event) {
       //This always prints out 'null'
       System.out.println("The value of 'newStory' is: " + newStory);
      //TO DO: this is where the logic would go for creating a new story object.
    } When I put logging statements inside my setter for the newStory property, I see that it is being set to the right value, but then it being reset to empty string. Why is that? During what phase do the action listeners get invoked?

Which JSF implementation/version are you using?

During what phase do the action listeners get invoked?The invoke application phase, after the update model values phase.

Transaction Posting Confirmation Message and Action Listener behaviour

Hi, I have a scenario that a user is Posting a Transaction and when he press the “Post” Button a, confirmation dialog box should popup asking “Do you really want to Post the record ?”. If the user press “Yes” the record is further process and If the user press “No” then the transaction should not proceed.
I have implemented the main screen(PostTransaction.java) and the popup confirmation window(ConfirmationWindow.java)
Question 1 ) Why the code is not stoping in the Post Button Action listener as in JOptionPane, then how do i know that the user has selected "Yes" or "No" ?
Question 2) Do I have to write the code for posting of a Transaction(postTransaction() method) in the “ConfirmationWindow”? or it should be in “PostTransaction”.

The MII Message listener is a queue. But when I understand you correctly, you do not want to process the messages immediately after arriving in the Listener.
Maybe the categorization of messages is an option for you (see [Sap Help: Processing Rule Editor - Category|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mii121/helpdata/en/43/e80b59ad40719ae10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm]. You can enter a category for the control recipe messages. The messages will then be placed in the Listener queue. You can use the [Message Services|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mii121/helpdata/en/43/e80b59ad40719ae10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm] actions to read the categorized messages and process them as you need.
In addition to Manoj, you may also use the [Queueing actions|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mii121/helpdata/en/43/e80b59ad40719ae10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm] of MII, where you can queue xml contents.
Hope this helps.

Issue with setting an Action Listener for a Command Button

Hi all,
I'm trying to set an action listener for a CoreCommanButton in a backing bean. Here's my code:
     CoreCommandButton editBtn = new CoreCommandButton();
          MethodBinding mb = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createMethodBinding("#{backBean.doButtonAct}",null);
          editBtn.setActionListener(mb);
//Action listener method
     public void doButtonAct(ActionEvent actionEvent)
I keep getting a javax.faces.el.MethodNotFoundException error. However when I remove the ActionEvent parameter in doButtonAct(), I get a wrong number of arguments error.
So i'm guessing there is something wrong with the parameters i accept in my action listener method. what can be causing this issue?
Cheers.

I figured this out.
Since doButtonAct() requires an ActionEvent object as a parameter, i needed to define the parameter type when I create the method binding.
Solution:
     Class argsString[] = new Class[] { ActionEvent.class };
          MethodBinding mb = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createMethodBinding("#{backBean.doButtonAct}",argsString);

Calling action listener for a BUTTON component in java bean page

Hi,
I have made it like this.
public void handleButtonPressed(ActionEvent event){
System.out.println("success!!!!!");
//code for calling actionlistener
FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ELContext elctx = fctx.getELContext();
Application application = fctx.getApplication();
ExpressionFactory exprFactory = application.getExpressionFactory();
MethodExpression methodExpr = null;
methodExpr = exprFactory.createMethodExpression(elctx, "#{exbean.handleButtonPressed}",null,new Class[] { ActionEvent.class });
MethodExpressionActionListener actionListener = null;
actionListener = new MethodExpressionActionListener(methodExpr);
button.addActionListener(actionListener);
Even after making the listener Function as Void wHen i click the button i m getting the error saying."ARGUMENTS MISMATCH,ADF_FACES60097"??
can you help me out?
and in the msg log i m getting this
"SkinFactoryImpl> <getSkin> Cannot find a skin that matches family portal and version v1.1. We will use the skin portal.desktop.
<MethodExpressionActionListener> <processAction> Received 'javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException' when invoking action listener '#{exbean.handleButtonPressed}' for component 'null'
<MethodExpressionActionListener> <processAction> javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Target Unreachable, identifier 'custombean' resolved to null"
I Have tried with this giving Void TYPE as an argument
methodExpr = exprFactory.createMethodExpression(elctx, "#{exbean.handleButtonPressed},Void.TYPE,new Class[] { ActionEvent.class });
I M getting the same error.

yeah but i m creating button itself dynamically by java code....
//code
UIComponent button;
button = findComponentInRoot("cb1");
RichPanelGroupLayout pgl;
pgl = (RichPanelGroupLayout)button.getParent();
List<UIComponent> children;
children = pgl.getChildren();
RichPanelGroupLayout pgll;
pgll = new RichPanelGroupLayout();
RichInputText it;
it = new RichInputText();
it.setLabel("New textbox " + (children.size()));
RichCommandButton but = new RichCommandButton();
but.setPartialSubmit(true);
but.setText("Delete");
/*calling actionevent*/
FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ELContext elctx = fctx.getELContext();
Application application = fctx.getApplication();
ExpressionFactory exprFactory = application.getExpressionFactory();
MethodExpression methodExpr = null;
methodExpr = exprFactory.createMethodExpression( elctx,"#{inbean.actionPerformed}",null, new Class[] {ActionEvent.class});
MethodExpressionActionListener actionListener = null;
actionListener = new MethodExpressionActionListener(methodExpr);
but.addActionListener(actionListener);
/*end of call*/
children.add(pgll);
children.add(it);
children.add(but);
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(pgl);
//code to call method
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("entered sec bean");
return " ";}
this way i m trying to create a button programatically and tryin to add actionlistener which is not working.
the actionlistener is throwing error.... with the line
methodExpr = exprFactory.createMethodExpression( elctx,"#{inbean.actionPerformed}",null, new Class[] {ActionEvent.class});

Calling Action listener in Custom component

Hello,
I am currently developing my own component containing an hyper-link and I am stuck with the Renderer. What should I put in the href of my "a" tag (<a href="???">) in order to call an Action listener ? I would like my renderer to do something similar to <h:commandLink actionListener="#{myBean.myActionListener}".
Could you help me?
Gerald.</a>

Hello,
Did you achieve this??? I'm also planing to put very similar to your thought. If you have a solution on your requirement, pls mail me to [email protected]
Thanks in Advance.

Is there a way to have the same action listener for few buttons?

guys, lets say i have button1, button2 and button3
how do i add the same action listener for 3 of them. doing 3 different action listener is very tedius! my assignment have almots 100 buttons but I need their action listener to be the same.

Hi,
Your class needs an action listener, so add implements ActionListener to you class creation string.
Then on each button set an action command;
button1.setActionCommand(BUTTON1);Now add an listener;
buttons1.addActionListener(this);Finally create a method to perform a task
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
if (e.getActionCommand().equals(BUTTON1))
xxxx
}This should do the trick.

Action Listener Method called multiple times

I have a page (fragment .jsff), containing a simple input text and a button called "search". When I click on "Search" the action listener is triggered multiple times. (The results are displayed in a table inside a panel collection).
The results are actually coming back ok.
When I debug the code, I can see the action listener method called twice.
Do you know why is that?
What should I be taking care of?
This is my code :
*** Fragment ****
<af:commandButton text="#{identityBundle.search_label}" id="cb1"
actionListener="#{UserDetailsBean.searchUsersListener}"
disabled="#{!bindings.searchUsers.enabled}"/>
*** Managed bean ***
public void searchUsersListener(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
// Add event code here...
DCBindingContainer bindings = (DCBindingContainer)getBindings();
DCIteratorBinding iter = bindings.findIteratorBinding("userIterator");
DCDataRow row = (DCDataRow)iter.getCurrentRow();
User user = (User)row.getDataProvider();
boolean isSearchCriteriaPresent = false;
if(user != null){
String fn = user.getFirstname();
if(fn != null && !fn.trim().equals("")){
isSearchCriteriaPresent = true;
user.setLastname(fn);
user.setNonMTUserLogin(fn);
try {
Map <Object, Object> userMap = PropertyUtils.describe(user);
for(Map.Entry<Object, Object> entry: userMap.entrySet()){
if(entry.getKey() != null && entry.getValue() != null && !entry.getKey().toString().equalsIgnoreCase("class")){
isSearchCriteriaPresent = true;
break;
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
if(!isSearchCriteriaPresent){
user.setFirstname("*");
OperationBinding opBinding = (OperationBinding)bindings.getOperationBinding("searchUsers");
opBinding.getParamsMap().put("user", user);
opBinding.execute();
AdfFacesContext adfFacesCtx = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Map<String, Object> scopePageFlowScopeVar= adfFacesCtx.getPageFlowScope();
scopePageFlowScopeVar.put("userSearchCriteria", user);
ADFContext adfCtx = ADFContext.getCurrent();
Map sessionScope = adfCtx.getSessionScope();
sessionScope.put("userSearchCriteria", user);
setUserSearchCriteria(user);
if(selectedUserID != null){
selectedUserID.setValue(null);
RichTable table = getUserResultsTable();
DCIteratorBinding searchUsersIterator = (DCIteratorBinding)bindings.get("searchUsersIterator");
Row[] rows = searchUsersIterator.getAllRowsInRange();
if(rows.length > 0){
RowKeySetImpl rks = new RowKeySetImpl();
ArrayList keyList = new ArrayList();
keyList.add(rows[0].getKey());
rks.add(keyList);
table.setSelectedRowKeys(rks);
table.setDisplayRowKey(keyList);
refreshState(table);
if(!isSearchCriteriaPresent){
user.setFirstname(null);
else{
deleteUserButton.setDisabled(true);
resetPasswordButton.setDisabled(true);
enableUserButton.setDisabled(true);
disableUserButton.setDisabled(true);
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
Can you try this?
1. set partialSubmit=true for the "search" button
2. set "search" button id as partialTrigger in your result table

How to create a single action listener for a group of buttons

hi there.. i am new at java and i have a problem with my applet..
i am doing a virtual ticket programme..
i have a tab that says books seats.. in the tab, i am suppose to create 50 buttons.
i have done that already by using for (int i=1; i<=10;i++) 5 times for 50 buttons.
but i do not know how to set an actionlistener in the for loop for each of these buttons..
For example, if the user were to chose seat "no3" , a text area(already created) below will show something like "no3" and so on..
how do i bind these buttons into one single action listener so i do not have to create 50 actionlisteners and buttons individually..
appreciate the help..

You're killing me.
class MyFrame extends JFrame implements ActionListener
     JTextArea myTextArea = new JTextArea();
     JButton myButton = new JButton("My Button");
     JButton otherButton = new JButton("Other Button");
     MyFrame()
          super();
          myButton.addActionListener(this);
          otherButton.addActionListener(this);
          setLayout(new FlowLayout());
          add(myButton);
          add(otherButton);
          add(myTextArea);
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
          Object source = e.getSource();
          if(source == myButton)
               myTextArea.append("My Button Pressed\n");
          else if(source == otherButton)
               myTextArea.append("Other Button Pressed\n");
}

Best way to implement an Action Listener

I have multiple anonymous classes for each button in my particular JPanel, this seems very... large and I am sure it is using a large amount of memory. Is there a better way to implement several action listeners to all these buttons so that they will still do their origional function but cut down on all the anonymous classes.

Actually nothing of the sort. There is too much information to be able to be placed nicely on the Panel, so I have many buttons that open dialog boxes where the information is placed, buttons that perform specified tasks (adding, updating, loading, deleting, clearing all fields) on the database, and others, there is also action listeners on the jspinners comboboxes and others.
Actually, I take back hundred, I recently extended JPanel to do my editing panels to go into my JTabbedPane cutting down on the line count in the FrameMain class (over 8K lines before the conversion) So there is only about 20 to 25 total action listeners per extended JPanel, instead of 150 or so declared in one frame.
The biggest concern here is memory usage, as of right now it uses a ton, and by searching and reading, I belive its all the action listeners (which at the time I thought you had to have a brand new one every time you wanted it to do something different).
Going back to the one action listener with the if/else statements obviously performace may be lost, but what is the ratio to performance lost to memory gain. Will the speed increase be negligable compared to the amount of memory usage that will go down?

Custom button with action listener - will not invoke action listener

Hi
For whatever reason, I cannot find a concise example of a simple custom component that can invoke an action listener. The tutorials I've read so far either ignore this fundamental topic or only make the slightest make reference to it.
The best I have come up with - in terms of a simple prototype is below... but, the action listener is never invoked.... Can someone tell me what I am missing (full code below). Hopefully, what is missing or incorrect will be obvious to you JSF experts out there.
Thanks for any help!!

got it working....
The changes were:
in "SpecialBtnRenderer"...
--new--
                    mb.invoke(context, new Object[1]);
--old--
                    mb.invoke(context, new Object[0]);
in "SpecialBtnTag"...
--new--
import javax.faces.event.ActionEvent;
--new--
                MethodBinding mb = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createMethodBinding(specialBtnListener, new Class[]{ActionEvent.class});
--old--
                MethodBinding mb = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createMethodBinding(specialBtnListener, null);
-Below is the entire application, again -- for those (like myself) who need concrete examples...
I hope this helps someone else! --f
