Transient Attributes in Entity object vs View Object

Hi Everyone,
I need some suggestion with my project. I have a vendors table based on which I created an entity object (columns: vendor_id, contract_id, so on ) but I want to display vendor_name in UI which can be read from other table. I thought of using a transient attribute to populate this vendor_name.
It is working fine when I create a new record (where I handled this in LOV return value of vendor_id field and it return vendor_id, vendor_name values) but when there is edit/view of page, this vendor_name is null which means I need to populate it during page load /refresh time. Can someone suggest me a better way to populate this transient attributes. I also want to know when should I use transient attributes in Entity object (I saw most of the developer using VO transient attributes in these kind of situation)
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi,
also want to know when should I use transient attributes in Entity object (I saw most of the developer using VO transient attributes in these kind of situation)
transient values in entities are saved in the entity cache and thus can be changed in the UI. If you use transient attributes on the VO then these are read-only. All transient attribute however need to be populated upon page load, which you can do in a ViewRowImpl class that checks for a null value when the getter is called to then call a setter, or by using Groovy script as a default value (just set the attribute to script)

  • Validation of attribute in Entity Object with List Rule Type

    hi all
    I have an entity "currncy" and I want to make
    a validation in entity level on its attribute "Isdefaultcurrency"
    which is boolean.
    Entity Object : Currency
    attributes :
    1. Currencyid DBsequence
    2. Currencyname String
    3. Isdefaultcurrency, Boolean, CheckBox
    Rule Type : List
    Operator : In
    List Type : Query Result 'select ISDEFAULTCURRENCY from currency where ISDEFAULTCURRENCY=1'
    I want when user insert in table, validation checks the attribute 'Isdefaultcurrency'
    was true then show the error message that there was default currency and if you
    want to set it to true (or default) you must change another record that was true
    and uncheck it then back to current record and will make it true and
    there is one record in my table that its attribute 'Isdefaultcurrency' must be true
    this validation that I used , it does not work correctly and it allows to enter 2 records with
    true value for Isdefaultcurrency. In fact I want when User Enter the First record and
    set the Isdefaultcurrency to true then enter the second record and set the Isdefaultcurrency
    to true the error message will be shown.
    pleas explain it
    Edited by: Marzieh on Jan 30, 2012 9:43 PM

    Is it that you want to only allow one record in the table to have isdefaultcurrency='1'?
    yes , that is correct . I used Oracle DataBase .
    DECODE(isdefaultcurrency, 1, 1, null) please explain about it.
    isdefaultcurrency attribute has boolean Type with 0 or 1 values.
    I would like to show an error if check box was checked for the second time. The idea is that just
    one check box should be checked.
    thanks for your answer

  • Jdev aborts when removing attribute from entity object

    Hi,
    after synchronizing my data model with my database scheme, jdeveloper 10g gave me the correct message, that there had been 1 attribute left in an entity object, that does no longer exist in the database.
    When removing the attribute from the entity object, jdev 10g aborts (first click: nothing happens, second click: abort).
    regards

    Thanks for bug report. This bug has been logged (3151203) and has been fixed in more recent builds.

  • Transient attribute not editable when using treeModel

    Hi,
    using Jdeveloper 10g ADF BC & JSF, just wondering why can't I use transient attribute when having master table - inline detail table (treeModel in page def). In my view objects I've created transient attributes for master and detail view and checked Updateable always.
    When I drag drop normal table (just master or just detail), everything is okay I can update transient attribute, but when I use master table - inline table (basically treeModel) attributes becomes disabled even though every other attributes are editable. Why is this happening? Is there some workaround.
    Thanks in advance.

    It didn't work because of following: I named my transient attribute Selected. Then on page I was reffering to #{node.Selected} which appears to be internally used or something so it made my selecBooleanCheckBox always disabled. When I rename transient attribute to CheckBox everything works fine. I'm just sad it took me few hours to try that.

  • Transient attribute for a view object coming from a socket

    Hello,
    I'd like to create a readonly table (based on a view object without a backing entity).
    Some columns are coming from a table and some other columns (based on the table key) are coming from a socket.
    The problems is that the additional columns are all returned at once by the socket (to avoid calling it for every field and killing our network) and then stored in a java bean.
    So i'd like to make the call to the socket once for every row of the table.
    Do you know in which method of the View object should i make the call (maybe I should do this at the Row level ?)
    Do you have any idea ?
    thank you
    -regards.

    Hi,
    you can try the follwing
    In the bindings of your jspx page you can see iterators defined under "executables". set the "*CacheResults*" property of the specific view object iterator that contains the transient attribute to false.(The default value is true).
    Example:
    <iterator Binds="EditWorkflowNodesView1" RangeSize="25"
    DataControl="AdministratorAppModuleDataControl"
    id="EditWorkflowNodesView1Iterator" CacheResults="false"/>
    Regards,

  • View Object Transient attribute, refresh problem.

    I have a VO which contains 3 entities joined. I added it a transient attribute with Groovy expression. My expression is : ReplyView.count("ReplyId"); , it counts two VO relationship. it counts normally but, when i insert a new reply, it doesnt refresh/update/recalculate the value. Whats the problem?

    The dependency values referred to are accessed when you edit the transient attribute in the view object. On the left hand panel select dependencies and shuttle the columns that the transient is dependent on. I don't think this matters for non-entity based views since the SQL is fixed but for entity based views this assures the dependent columns are added to the query even if they are not needed by the page.

  • How to make Transient Attribute Mandatory in View Object?

    Hi ,
    I have a Transient Attribute 'TransientFromCode' which is based on LOV .On UI ,I am showing this 'TransientFromCode' as 'SelectOneChoice' .
    So on selection of this i am populating other mandatory attributes.
    My requirement is to show this as 'Required' on UI but in View Object i am not able to find mandatory property for this attribute.
    I dont want to use required='true' . So can you plesae tell me is there any way to make Transient attibute as mandatory on UI .
    Thanks

    940637 - Your Use Case is a little vague\confusing.
    If you are just trying to get the standard "Required" architecture, it probably isn't working because you have incorrect syntax. It is #{bindings.MyViewObj.MyAttr.hints.mandatory}
    Yours: "#{bindings.UnitOfMeasureIntraClassConversion.hints.TransientItemDesc.mandatory}"
    It will "dynamically" pick this up at Runtime from the ViewObject Attributes "Mandatory" property (Attributes\Details tab), BUT the EL will always evaluate to "true" so this is the same functionally as just hard coding the UI component's Required property to "true" (although doing so is against Best Practices)
    If you are just wanting to SHOW the field as required without the standard Validation logic (because you are coding your own), you could:
    1) JUST set the UI component's "ShowRequired" property = true. This displays the * next to the Label (regardless of actual View Object Attr setting) but fires no validation.
    2) If you want to not show * but some custom standard, you could just create ANOTHER transient Attribute in the View Object and call it "TransientItemDescRequired" and set it to a Literal "y" or leave it blank and programmatically set it later... You can code your own validator\method\whatever against it, etc

  • Dirty check for transient attributes in view object

    Hi,
    I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.4 and ADF BC in my project.
    In one of my view objects,I have a transient attribute added for some business logic.
    I am doing dirty check in my project as below.
    boolean dirty = false;
    boolean amDirty = false;
    // check application module
    ApplicationModule am =
    getBindingContainer().getDataControl().getApplicationModule();
    amDirty = am.getTransaction().isDirty();
    //Check if datacontrol is dirty
    BindingContext bctx =
    oracle.adf.controller.binding.BindingUtils.getBindingContext();
    dirty =
    bctx.findDataControlFrame(bctx.getCurrentDataControlFrame()).isTransactionDirty();
    return amDirty || dirty;
    My requirement is that,I dont want the dirty check to be applied on the transient attribute in the view object.
    Is there any way to achieve this.Please advice...
    Regards,
    Praveen

    Hi Frank,
    Thanks for the suggestion.
    I followed the link.But if a transient attribute is modified,then also ((ApplicationModule)getDataProvider()).getTransaction().isDirty() is returning true and the transaction is made dirty.
    I am setting a transient attribute like this getNwOperVOIter().getCurrentRow().setAttribute("AcctNoTrans")....when I am editing a row.
    Can I get explicit handle at viewobjectimpl for this transient attribute??
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Just the exception stack without any information like what JDev version, what expression you've used for the default value of the transient attribute etc., is not enough for us to help you.

    Have you had a look at section 27.5 of the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers ("Performing In-Memory Sorting and Filtering of Row Sets") - I've not tried it with transient attributes, but it does describe how to do in-memory sorting, as opposed to the normal way of sorting which is to send an ORDER BY to the database.
    Hope this helps,
    John

  • JDeveloper 12.c - Entity Object Transient Attribute Behavior

    Hi
    Just wondering if the following behaviour is the expected one for a new attribute in an Entity Object;
    The only way to be allowed to write an expression as default value is if the attribute itself is persistent. If transient is selected, the only available option for default value is SQL. So I need to put as persistent momentarily while writing my expression and then change it to transient.
    Regards
