Using JSF and IFRAMEs

I have a basic JSF app that takes some input, does a request and creates a table on output. What I need to do with it now is to have the query "page" and results "page" in two iframes on the same page. Before the query has been run the second iframe should just be blank (or with some default text). After the query that frame should be populated but the query frame needs to still be there. I've managed to do part of this. The "search" page and the "results" page are in separate iframes:
<%@ page session="true" %>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Frames</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
  <tr>
    <td width="100%" colspan="2">
      <iframe title="Synonyms Search" src="search.jsf"
          width="800" height="200">
      Alternate search content...
      </iframe>
     </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  <td width="100%">
    <iframe src="results.jsp" title="Results"
      width="800" height="800">
      Results....
    </iframe>
  </td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>The reason this page is not using jsf tags is that the iframes will need to contain other pages that themselves are not jsf (mostly servlets) and I wasn't sure I could make that work. Currently the problem is that previously the search page had a QueryBean that the results page accessed to create it's table of results. Now in iframes the results.jsp frame just has a jsp processing exception and running the query does nothing. I'm new to JSF so I'm sure there's parts I'm missing, these do work if I pull them outside the frames and write navigation rules in the faces-context.xml file.
Thanks,

  • Using JSF and JavaMail to send Automated Email

    Hi All,
    Can any one please suggest I can use JSF and JavaMail to send automated email messages i.e after a person has successfully completed a form , a message is sent to his/her email address confirming that he has succesfully registered or completed a form. I have succesfull implemeted the use of javamail for sending email meassages in a JSF web application but cant seem to figure out how i can achieve automated sending of emails in JSF. Please any ideas, tutorials or source code would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I don't understand your problem:
    You have already been able to send e-mails from a JSF webapplication, but you are not capable of sending e-mails from a JSF webapplication?!
    Automated sending of e-mails will be exactly the same as non-automated.

    Requirement is I need to use IBM version of DOJO and JSF but I need to develop the whole application using Eclipse 3.3,2 and Tomcat 5.5.
    With IBM version of DOJO and JSF, will Eclipse and Tomcat help to speed up the development or do you suggest me to go for Rational Application Developer and WebSphere Application Server.
    If I need to go with RAD and WAS, then I am new to RAD and WAS, is it easy to use RAD and WAS for this kind of application and implement web applicaiton fast.
    Any feedback will be great help.Those don't sound like requirements of the system to me. They sound more like someone wants to improve their CV/resume
    From what I've read recently, if it's just fast you want, look at Ruby on Rails

    Are you dead set on using tiles? I can see tiles including JSF but JSF including tiles? Not sure if that will work.
    My suggestion is to use Trinidad. It has the concept of Regions which is very "tiles" like and you will be far more successful.

  • How to customize events, execute stored procedures using JSF and ADF BC

    As a java beginner, I started with developing simple web application using JSF and ADF business component through visual and declarative approach. I need to know how to customize events, execute stored procedures, invoke functions on triggering events associated with rich controls. for eg. how to write customized functions on button click or checkbox click events to achieve business requirement and can be modified whenever required.
    Edited by: 792068 on Aug 31, 2010 9:40 PM

    Which business layer is prefered to create interactive data model: 1. ADF business components or 2. Enterprise JavaBeans using Java persistance API (JPA) or 3. Toplink 4. Portlets
    which minimizes writing low level codes and how much OOPS knowledge is required for creating above business layer binding data to viewcontroller layer?

  • Using JSF and Struts

    I am a bit of a newbie in terms of UI applications on the JEE platform, so I apologize up front if this question seems silly. I was wondering if someone could comment on the approach below. Is this something that's possible or am I barking up the wrong tree?
    We have a vendor application that is written using Struts. We want to add a section of our own pages to this application, but we would rather use a more strategic approach in our pages, so we would like to use JSF for those.
    The original web.xml file in the vendor app uses a dtd of version 2.3 as shown below:
    <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
    When I use JSF, I use a DTD version of 2.5 as shown here:
    <web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
    The problem is that when I use version 2.3, the elements needed to support JSF are invalid. When I use 2.5, the elements needed to support struts are invalid.
    Could someone comment in that, if you had this vendor app and you needed to add your own pages, is it not possible to use JSF in this scenario or if you can, what is the best approach to resolving this issue?
    Thank you in advance

    First make sure that your application server supports Servlet API 2.5. Whether the desired Servlet API version is supported or not solely depends on the application server implementation and version used. For example Tomcat 5.5 is a Servlet API 2.4 implementation which only supports the API versions up to with 2.4. If you want to use Servlet API 2.5, then you obviously need a Servlet API 2.5 implementation, for example Tomcat 6.0.
    Consult the website and/or documentation of the application server in question.

  • Using JSF and JMS

    Hello Suners,
    I'm developing a web project using JSF for client side development and EJB for server side development. I need to inject a stateful session bean inside my managed bean in order to send the user entries in a message to a JMS queue which in turn give it to registered MDB for asynchronous requests handling. The problem is once the session bean is initialized from within the managed bean i have a null pointer exception for the QueueConnectionFactory and in turn gives a lifecycle exception for my jsf page. I don't know where i should use my session bean. any help will be deeply appreciated, here is the beans code :

  • JSF and iframe

    I have create a template page. Template page contains two frame frame1 and frame2. frame1 contains add employee page.
    frame2 contains employee details page. After creating a new employee record (from frame1's form) if i click submit Button, then frame2 will echo all employee list with the newly create employee.
    My bean file is in request scope.
    My problem is that after submitting new record it is not coming  into frame2's page instantly. But new records are saving into db properly and All previously created Employee list is showing....
    Submit Button's code:
    <h:commandButton value="Create" action="#{EmployeeBean.CreateSave}" onclick="Go('ShowAllEmployee.jsp')"></h:commandButton>
    <script type=text/javascript>
         function Go(location)
         {     var target;
              if(location!="")
                   alert(location);
                   window.parent.document.getElementById("frame2").src=location;
    </script>
    Can i get Any Help ?

    Are you aware that you create two independent requests this way? I shouldn't surprise if the action method request takes a bit longer than the iframe request.
    After all, the use of frames is discouraged in business. Throw them away and make use of <jsp:include>, or AJAX calls, or the 'rendered' attribute of JSF HTML components.

  • Where to find how to use JSF and database operation(eg. JDBC) together?

    Thanks very much!

    Hi zhouen & Andrea,
    Actually you should avoid using the SQL tags for antyhing but a trivial application.
    I previously posted on this topic here;
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=427&thread=418247&message=1851795#1851795
    and here;
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=427&thread=435179&message=1957499#1957499
    And as Craig noted in his follow up to the first post it is very important to separate your business logic from the view.
    Basically your application will be hard to maintain and extend if you embed access to the databse in your JSP's. For example, consider a search page. If you embeded the SQL into a JSP the app could be made to work, but consider a late breaking requirement 'we need to access the search functionality from a webservice'. How would you accomplish such an extension if the SQL was in the page. Hard to do at best.

  • Using jsf with struts

    hi;
    i am trying to understand the proper architecture when using jsf and struts together.
    i think i understand the differences between the technologies . it seems to me that instead of justifying jsf there should be a focus on how the two technologies actually collaborate.
    specifically, i would like to know or see examples of things like replacing the view portion of struts and plugging in the jsf framework instead or how to i replace the struts actions with jsf commands or maybe they are totally different things.
    where can i get information like this?
    thanks.

    At present, i think the best thing to do is to look at the example provided with the struts-faces integration taglib. I don't know any documentation about it.

              - added "ebuslib" assembly PP as Used DC (build only)
    3. Built "ebuslib2"
              - can see jars in the resulting sda file.
              - activated activity
              - confirmed on J2EE engine deployed library containing the jars.
    Scenarios
    A. EP Project DC
               - needs access to 3rd party jars
               - QUESTION: What do I need to reference? The External Library DC or the J2EE Server Component Library DC?
                             - I read that you should reference the J2EE Server Component BUT the jars are not available in the PP of that DC.
                             - One developer one talked to referenced the compilation PP of the External Library DC (i.e. "ebuslib").
                                     - this seemed to work but then I wondered how the project finds the JAR at runtime?
    QUESTION: Does SAP load all the classes that have been deployed via the J2EE Server Component Library DC method and hence those JARs are globally available at runtime hence no need to reference them during development except for compilation? What if > 1 J2EE library contain the same jar or same API but different versions (e.g. Hibernate 2 vs 3).
    Thanks for any clarifications. I want to understand the underlying technology and how it works. I have seen alot of information out there but some of it is confusing and conflicting.

  • Getting Substring using JSF

    I am new to JSF , (using JSF and struts application ) .I was wondering how I could do basic functions like string manupilation using the JSF core tages ...
    For Example if I have
    <h:outputText value="#{gen.Name}" />
    and I would like to get not the name but say the substring(0,5) ..how would I do this with JSF ...
    Also could you please direct me to a resource where I can learn more about the Core (helpful) functions using JSF

    Perhaps you could use a converter.
    package com.test.converter;
    import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;
    import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
    import javax.faces.convert.Converter;
    public final class SubstringConverter implements Converter  {
        public SubstringConverter() {
            super();
        public Object getAsObject( FacesContext arg0, UIComponent arg1, String d ) {
            return d;
        public String getAsString( FacesContext arg0, UIComponent arg1, Object arg2) {
            return ((String)arg2).substring(0,5);
    The corresponding entry in faces-config.xml
    <converter>
        <converter-id>mySubstringConverter</converter-id>
        <converter-class>com.test.converter.SubstringConverterr</converter-class>
    </converter>
    Now use it!<h:outputText value="#{gen.Name}" converter="mySubstringConverter"/>

  • Using JSF in search engine.

    Hi,
    I am implementing a search engine. I want to use jsf for for the UI part. I have few queries in this regard.
    - Has anybody used jsf for the same?
    - Since the search result may contain any number of result, then it is not good to first load all the results into a List object and then do the pagination.
    Cheers...

    Hi Tom,
    I am currently involved in developing a web front end for our book search engine. We used JSF and though we had some issues initially, we are pretty happy with the results. You can check it out at http://books.infact.com.
    As for pagenation, the fetching of results (including number of results retrived each time, total count of results etc) should be handled by the back end of your search engine, in my opinion. The JSF part should communicate with the backend to get the number of results it needs to display. Hope that helps.
