Use field value in xml binding expression

Hi all.
I'm trying to access dropdownlist selected value from a binding expression.
I have a dropdownlist called rooms which is bound to some XML data. When the selection changes I woud like to access that value in another dropdownlist called members which is also bound to some XML data.
The expression I tried is:
$record.room.[roomname==$form.company.mainform.rooms.rawValue].member[*]
I'm calling this code on the rooms.changed event (alsop tried on rooms.exit event):
members.execCalculate();
Aparently $form.company.mainform.rooms.rawValue doesn't return the selected value of the rooms dropdownlist.
Is there a way to get the selected event from a different form and re-calculate binding of the field?
thanx

Binding is not dynamic ...meaning that it is set when the form is rendered and cannot be changed on the fly.

[svn:fx-trunk] 9349: * Added support for using getStyle() in Mxml data binding expressions.

Revision: 9349
Author:   [email protected]
Date:     2009-08-17 11:32:37 -0700 (Mon, 17 Aug 2009)
Log Message:
Added support for using getStyle() in Mxml data binding expressions.
In addition to the existing "function return watcher" data binding
functionality, we register to listen for style related change events
when we see a function marked with [Bindable(style="true")].
UIComponent's and TextGraphicElement's styleChanged() will now
dispatch events for "getStyle()" FunctionReturnWatchers to handle.
When null or "styleName" is passed into styleChanged(), we dispatch
an "allStylesChanged" event.
QE notes: mxunit test to follow
Doc notes:
Bugs: SDK-20394
Reviewer: Glenn, Pete F, Peter D
Tests run: checkintests, mxunit databinding
Is noteworthy for integration: only if you want to start using it.
Code-level description of changes:
modules/compiler/src/java/flex2/compiler/as3/binding/DataBindingExtension.java
    Modified generateWatcher() to do the AST equivalent of the
    WatcherSetupUtil.vm change.
modules/compiler/src/java/flex2/compiler/as3/binding/FunctionReturnWatcher.java
    Removed unused isNew variable and added isStyleWatcher variable.
    Modified shouldWriteSelf() to return true if isStyleWatcher is true.
modules/compiler/src/java/flex2/compiler/as3/binding/WatcherSetupUtil.vm
    Modified writeFunctionReturnWatcher macro to add a true arg to the
    FunctionReturnWatcher constructor call when isStyleWatcher() is
    true.
modules/compiler/src/java/flex2/compiler/as3/binding/BindableFirstPassEvaluator.java
    Modified evaluate(Context, MetaDataNode) to skip reporting an
    error for no events when style is true.
modules/compiler/src/java/flex2/compiler/as3/binding/DataBindingFirstPassEvaluator.java
    Replaced insideCallExpression boolean with callExpressionStack
    Stack. The "!insideCallExpression" checks were replaced with
    callExpressionStack.isEmpty().
    Modified addBindables() to handle [Bindable(style="true")].
    Made argumentListStack and resetSet more strongly typed.
frameworks/projects/framework/src/mx/core/UIComponent.as
    Modified styleChanged() to dispatch a "Changed" and "allStylesChanged" from the previous
    parent and add listeners to the new parent when isStyle is true.
    Modified eventHandler to notifyListeners() when isStyle is true.
frameworks/projects/spark/src/spark/primitives/supportClasses/TextGraphicElement.as
    Similar changes to UIComponent.

Format trigger is for change the formation of value. Like change the font, make it bold,italic, changes it's colour . Not for filtering.
If you want to restrict your report not to show Zero(0) value of stock , you have to done it at SQL query. Like, if stock is a database filed you may write
select .........,....
from table
where stock >0Hope this helps.

Problem regarding XML field value to XML generation

Hi Everybody,
I am facing a typical problem. I am storing xml in an xml datatype field in a table. But when I am generating physical file from the xml field, '&' in the xml field is getting converted into '&' in the physical file. But I want '&' to
be intact.
Can anyone faced the issue or have any idea of solving this?
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Anujit,
How do you generate physical file from the xml field?
I make a test on my computer using your XML data with the following scripts, '&' exists in my exported file.

Using Field values as part of PDF output file

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to use information in the *.dat file to create the name of the *.pdf file which will be sent (by email) to our customer automaticly.
So let say there is a field "GLOBAL ORDNO" with a value "1042193" in the datastream and I want to have the PDF to have the filename "confirmation for order 1042193"
Is this, or a similar construction, possible?

You would have to write your own program, perhaps using VB, to locate the ^GLOBAL ORDNO line and then extract the data from the next physical line. The program would then put this data in the jfserver.ini file as the value for one of the User#= variables (such as "user1") that are defined there. Then the jfmerge step that creates the PDF could reference that variable (-zc:\temp,@user1..pdf). I've never used the user variables so I don't know that you can reference them like that but the manual seems to indicate it will work. It would be easy to test by manually changing the jfserver.ini file to see if it is possible. If it works, then the custom agent to extract the value and set the variable could be written. (Manually changing the file may not work because I see that the manual indicates these variables are reset at the beginning of each job, but it also states that default values can be defined within the jfserver.ini file - testing will let you know.)
Check out the "Creating a Custom Agent" chapter in the "Working with Central" manual. In my Windows version 5.5 manual it is section 6 and starts on page 45. This not only tells what is required to set up Central to run the agent but explains about the user variables. Section 4 in the same manual explains about using substitution variables.
Unfortunately, if you aren't a programmer it may be difficult to create the custom agent to extract the value and create the "jetform.rsp" file for setting the variable in the jfserver.ini file. We have many custom agents but none do anything like this, though it would be a simple program to write.

Unable to use field value as link icon in linked column

I am building an interactive report which includes a linked column. I would like to display an image link which is based on a value in the row named ICON. On the Report Attributes tab, in the Link Icon field of the Link Column attribute, I have set up the Link Icon definition to be <img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES##ICON#" alt="">. It resolves the #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# substitution string, but does not resolve the #ICON# placeholder. The only workaround I have found is to build out the entire href string as part of the query and simply display it as a field in the report. However, I would prefer to use the attribute method as it is much cleaner. Can anyone tell me if this is possible or have I hit a bug? Thanks.

Hi,
it works the same if you put the placeholder into your column attributes of the ICON-column in your dynamic report. As I read your previous post again, I came to the conclusion you want to use the column in the more "general" "Link Column" of your interactive report. I agree that you can choose the column from your report using "Pick Dynamic Query Column", but the substitution will not work. I'm not sure whether the bug is the non-working substitution or that the Picker-widget is provided, since you don't have the column as a javascript link below the text field as you would have in the column attributes. I think it's not intended to be possible to reference other columns in that context, but you'll either have to put the reference into the actual column's link attribute or use a static image for all links.

Folder level script? How can I use field value as a pdf filename in save as dialog box

I read somewhere that if you use a folder level script, you can do things like save a pdf with a specific filename - possibly based on a field name.
How would one set up a folder level script?
How do you execute a script from the PDF?
What code would you use to change the PDF name to the contents of the fFieldName text field?
Or, is this really just impossible to do?

The article is interesting. It suggests you place code like this:
// Page Replacement Function
var ReplaceLastPage = app.trustedFunction( function(cPath) {
app.beginPriv();
this.replacePages(this.numPages-1, cPath); app.endPriv();
In the trusted folder. What is the path of the trusted function(s) that get automatically loaded into Acrobat?
I assume in the example above, function(cPath) is a function inside of the PDF...

How can I use field value as a pdf filename in save as dialog box

Field values directly binded to backend service are getting cleared.

Hi,
In HCM Forms & Process, for ex: in a form the header field values are directly binded to SAP_PA backend service and rest of the fields (dropdown list and free text fields) are getting from custom generic service. Now there is also a pushbutton in my form is used to calculate percentage of a field. Now when the form is displayed by default the header values are getting populated from SAP_PA backend service. When I click the push button with out selecting values(drop down list) getting from generic service all header field values are getting cleared. But if I select any dropdownlist value before selecting pushbutton and then if I click pushbutton all the header fields are retained with values. I am facing this problem for all the forms that I developed. I am looking for valuable answer.
Regards,
Nayani .

So you are or are not using a user event? Sounded like you were which was firing when the user selecpiushed the "button" for calculating fields. Whatever "event" you have tied that button too seems to be your culprit. Are you doing this calculation in Javascript off the button "onClick" even or passing it to a HCM P&F "user event" in the backend? If it is to a HCM P&F "user event", that's where I would make sure your fields are selected.
From the sounds of it, it seems when you do NOT select a dropdown list value, your generic service is not handling this gracefully and an error occurs. That would cause ALL other services NOT to run. It's an odd thing the framework does and often very frustrating to hunt down, but whenever any service errors, it will not run others.....hence no fields coming back correctly....even if those other services have NOTHING to do with yours (weird, I know).
Hope this helps.

Using value binding expressions to set 'required' attribute

I am trying to use a value binding expression to determine whether the value of various input control's is required or not according to where they are used and not having much luck. I wonder if anyone can shed some light on this...
The following expression works: <h:inputText id="name" required="#{true}"/> whereas <c:set var="required" value="true" scope="request"/>
<h:inputText id="name" required="#{required}"/> does not, even though the expression evaluates to true! I have tried numerous variations (requestScope.required, required == true, required ? true : false, etc.) to no avail. Interestingly, #{1 == 1} or binding to a backing bean method works, but as soon as you add a request variable it breaks.
Am I doing something wrong, is this something that JSF doesn't allow, or just a bug in the RI? Note that I don't want to vary this flag between multiple submissions of the same form, I am just trying to reuse the same JSP include to generate form controls for required and optional data on different forms to avoid a whole lot of cutting any pasting.
Any pointers gratefully received.
-- Keith Wilson

I had something like this happen, and here's what I concluded the problem was. Perhaps your problem is similar.
In the first non-working example you show a request-scope variable being set in the JSP page, and then use that to set the "required" attribute. But consider what happens when you submit the form. There is no longer any request-scope variable set because we have a new request and we don't go through the JSP page! (Not before validation is checked, anyhow).
So basically I concluded that the variable had to be in (say) session scope for it to work as you would like.

Using value binding expression for to-view-id

hi;
is it possible to use a value binding expression in the <to-view-id> element?
if not, is there a logical reason for this?
thanks

Shrek-2:
Are we there yet?No
Are we there yet?No
Are we there yet?Yes
Really?
NO
Seriously, the default navigation handler does not allow to use EL for the to-view-id, but you can obtain the desire behaviour with the custom handler decorator.
This is a code snippet:
     public void handleNavigation(FacesContext fc, String actionMethod, String actionName) {
          _base.handleNavigation(fc, actionMethod, actionName);
          String viewId = fc.getViewRoot().getViewId();
        if ((viewId.indexOf("#{") != -1) &&
                (viewId.indexOf("#{") < viewId.indexOf('}'))) {
             String bviewId = (String)fc.getApplication().createValueBinding(viewId).getValue(fc);
             if (bviewId != null)
                  fc.getViewRoot().setViewId(bviewId);
             else {
                  // you can throw the exception here
     }More about HandlerDecorator:
http://www.jsftutorials.net/jsfNavigation/jsf-login-navigation-redirect.html
http://www.jsftutorials.net/faces-config/navigationDecorator.html
P.S. Note: This feature might broke the separation between the different levels of application from the architectural point of view. Hard-coding the ViewIds inside the java code is not a good idea at all.

How to use SYSDATE as a default value of a bind variable in a query report?

Hi,
I want to use SYSDATE as default value for a bind variable in Query based report.
I don't see any way to do it, someone helps?
Thanks a lot.
Paulo.

You can aslo use #sysdate directly.
Hi,
The way I'm doing in my report is, I have a database function (f_ret_sysdate) with the following code
create function f_ret_sysdate return varchar2
begin
return to_char(sysdate,'mm/dd/yyyy');
end;
Now, in the 'Customization Form Display Options' section of the report I'm calling this function as #f_ret_sysdate in the default value field of corresponding bind variable to display SYSDATE with the format.
Hope this helps!...

Bind input field value to a variable fails

Business need : The user wants to re-evaluate lines by a percentage value which he fills via his BI-IP screen.
I created an INPUT FIELD in WAD and I am trying to link a variable value (initially created in BI-IP through transaction RSPLAN)
to this INPUT FIELD.
Whenever I fill the input field with a value, the value is not being transferred to the variable.
Please help how to bind an INPUT field value to a variable to be transmitted to a planning function.
I have made many trials but in vain.
Please help.

Hi.
I will present my scenario (it works in my system). From this scenario you may "cut" implementation for your scenario.
Lets sat I have an input fileld item and I want to read value (in my case numeric value) and pass this value to any planning sequence.
1. Create in Bex variable (in my case it is formula variable) lets say Z_INPUT_VAR
2. In WAD, when you executin planning sequence (lets say by pressing button execute) in command EXEC_PLANNING_SEQUENCE_SIMPLE define data binding.
When you clicked data binding->variable input MANUALY your variable name (Z_INPUT_VAR) in popup window.
3. In variable type select (ITEM_INPUT) type
4. In web item select your input field item.
This way you will pass inputed value to vaariable and planning sequence.
Then in planning function you also may use VARV() to read value of Z_INPUT_VAR variable.
Regards.

Inserting a value from page field into an xml file

Hi there,
I have added a field 'Comments' on a create vacancy page.
There are other fields on that page and the values from those fields are getting stored in an xml file.
This xml file is getting stored in TRANSACTION_DOCUMENT column of table HR_API_TRANSACTIONS.
Is it possible to add the value from the field (that I've added on the page) into the same xml file?
If yes, please tell me how
and if no, tell me what should I do to store that value.
Regards,
Gaurav.

Hi Gaurav,
You need to check in seeded files for the logic of generation of XML file and setting it in DB column. May be in PLSQL API this code would exist.
Once you get that logic you can append your column value in XML tag (need to create new tag) if you are allowed to modify seeded API. Otherwise use free additional attributes of the table.
Hope I am clear.
