UIX Demos

hello,
I want to run the UIX Demos under Linux but cannot get it right. The problem is actually how to install UIX under Linux in order to access the demos. I could only get directions on how this is done in Windows OS but found nothing on how it could be done in Linux. Can someone help me out????

Unfortunately, the file that you are looking for was not included with the samples files. We are hoping to update the samples soon (hopefully in conjunction with the 9.0.3 release).

Use UIX demo 2.1.7 in my application

Hello,
I have download uix-demo-2.1.7.zip and run Shopping Cart Demo.
It work very well. I would like to also have a preference page in my application, as in the demonstration.
I recovered the two files Preferences.java and Preferences.uix. I modified them to integrate them in my project.
The page is posted correctly, with value in the choice. But UIX does not react to any modificatin of appearance. Why?
It I miss what which is not documented.
Thanks, for your help.

Schmied -
I noticed one problem with the 2.1.7 version of the DemoUIFactory class - the Customization objects that it creates do not wrap the current Configuration instance. Instead, each Customization object delegates to the Configuration instance returned by Configuration.sharedInstance(). This means that you will lose any configuration settings specified in uix-config.xml.
Here is an updated version of the DemoUIFactory class which corrects this problem. Instead of callling Configuration.sharedInstance(), the Customization instances now wrap the current Configuration instance as returned by RenderingContext.getConfiguration():

Can't find UIX Demos

it seems that there has been a zip-File with UIX-demos but I can't locate it. Or is the UIX-framework no longer supported ?

With a suggestion from Metalink this one was solved. It turns out the Application server needed a parm change inthe httpd.conf file.
Change "UseCanonicalNames on"
to "UseCanonicalNames off"

When will new ADF UIX demo be released?

Are there any one can tell me when the new ADF UIX demo based on uix 2.2 be released?

1. Selecting the data control that you want to bind.
2. Selecting a component type from the "Drop As" choice.
3. Dragging the data control onto the UIX page.

UIX and JDev

Surfing into the OTN site I found an UIX 2.1.7 "object".
I thought UIX was a JDeveloper component : what's UIX 2.1.7 ?
What relationships are there between UIX 2.1.7 and the version embedded within JDev ?
TIA

tullio,
this is the uix demo-bundle with sample code.

Where are lesson files for UIX Tutorial?

The UIX Tutorial says the lesson files are in C:\uix\demos\xml\uixlesson_all
I don't have them in this directory. Is there someplace I can download them from?

Please remember to state which version UIX you are using.
Where did you obtain UIX from originally?

I believe this is a known problem with running OC4J under JDK 1.4. Please check out the following thread for more information:

About the installation of the demo bundle

I got confused by the structure of the demo, when I unpack the uix-demo-2.1.7.zip, it creates the following directories: bin, demos, docs, install, j2ee, lib and src.
The instructions say I must extract them "on top of the OC4J installation", which directory does this mean?
Normally I will have a ORACLE_HOME and inside it the "j2ee" directory, then the "home" directory, and inside this one the "applications", "config", etc, etc, directories, but this hiercharchy does not show on the demo bundle, so, Where do I install these directories?
thanks for the help.

I believe they need to be installed into ORACLE_HOME.

Confirmation Dialog Box

Hi All,
With ADF UIX, what is the recommended way to implement a confirmation dialog box to get user's confirmation before an action is actually executed? Any UIX element like <messagebox>?
Thanks.
Elton.

Elton,
The best examples we have publicly available are at http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/ids/uix/217/uix-demo-2.1.7.zip
(I hope the link still works)
This is for UIX 2.1.7, which is what ships with JDev 9.0.3. You'll want to do some things a bit differently if developing with UIX 2.2 in JDeveloper 10G.
Hope this helps,
Ryan

Is uiXML worthless?

<concern>
<title mode="provocation" reason="desperate-to-get-some-answers-either-from-the-docs-or-from-this-forum">
Is uiXML worthless?
</title>
<initial-positive-view>
I would like to have the opinion of other developers about using uiXML for Web development. At first I was very excited about this technology maybe in part because:
- i am a java developer
- i am an XML developer
- i am a form/reports developer and i usually like Oracle products
- i don't like JSP, so i saw it as a nice replacement of JSP.
- i liked the way the uix controller works
- etc.
</initial-positive-view>
<expression-of-growing-frutration>
However, the more time - too much - i spend trying to learn it, the more i am leaning to think i am wasting my time and energy. So am i alone to think that:
- the uix documentation is terrible. Too much marketing, not enough useful information.
- the documentation is terrible part II: examples are not put in context. When you have a code fragment, and you are learning, it shouldn't be put in a vacuum: you spend too much time with trials and errors too complete the given example. In that respect, a good documentation, are the Java Tutorials from java.sun.com: each time you have a code fragment you have a link to a complete working code program from where the fragment is extracted.
- the customization capabilities are too limited
- Oracle is not interested in this technology beyond its internal needs maybe because the user base is too small (just a guess after browsing this forum).
- uiXML questions are almost never answered in this forum, maybe because of the point above. It's just a guess from my personal experience and after browsing this forum: i don't have the tools to make really acurate statistics
- worst of all from my point of view as a developer: it rarely works as expected when, by chance, i figure out what to expect from the use of an element/class that is just a little less obvious than <text>
- as a result of all the above the development process is very chaotic and full trials and errors
<expression-of-growing-frutration>
<your-opinion>
So i would like to know if someone in this forum:
- has experienced this kind of frustration with uiXML when trying to do some real programing beyond the examples given in the docs? (ever tried to use the <include> element to create generic uix pages for example?)
- has done real development with uixML, with real customization, generic uix pages etc... and if so what are the keys to succeed.?
- if not, knows about better alternatives for developing web applications (web tier). Especially using the combinaison Java + XML.
<your-opinion>
</concern>

Is UIX the best framework of its kind?
In our company we are using uiXML for about half a year now and I must say after some initial problems with - yes the bad documentation and the confusing bc4j jsp java and pure xml versions of UIX I can really say that we couldn't have made a better a choice when it comes to the framework.
We have implemented a front end on top of a really complex datamodel for the financial services industry, but for data access we use XML Selects and our front end only accesses an xml document - so that might have made things easier for us. Additionally we added an abstraction layer to uix and generate the uix files from a very high level screendefinition and the metadata of the datamodel.
When speaking about the features what is really outstanding is that databinding can be done for any attribute of each control. This allows us to display the same screen differently to different users. In combination with layoutmanagers that provides a lot of runtime flexibility for your screens, and if used well this can really boost your productivity.
Now what is still missing?
First of all defining your own controls looks really messy - you can't really subclass from existing controls, and that means its a lot of work to do that yourself and we never really dared that.
Since JDeveloper 903 they added the partialPageRendering feature for tables and this is something that really has great potential if it is implemented for all controls and we are really looking forward to that feature.
Demos - oracle released this uix demo bundle without ever announcing it, which is probably due to the fact that it is really just a non-working or hardly-working demo.
But what could really help people with UIX is a really good book about it along with some real world demo like microsoft has for their .Net platform. That's what I would like to see from Oracle.
For us using uix was a real success, enabling us to surprise our management and our really demanding customers with great solutions, delivered in little time - but as with every tool; it's the way you use it that determines it's value.
So my message to anyone frustrated with uix is: don't give up and annoy the oracle guys in the forum to help you and make up for their lacking docs.
