View Link Bug! - JDEV Developers please read.
This has to be a bug. When I am done with my project for the day I check in the files into PVCS. After check in the files are deleted off my local drive. When I recheck out my project and do a rebuild on the project, I get several View link XML files that say that they are not correct. However when I pull them up in the editor and relink them, there is NO CHANGE to the XML file that stores the DEF. Below is a sample of one of the files. If I go into this view link with the visual editor and reselect the linking nodes, all is fine in JDEV.
Is this a bug that is being worked on for the next version?

Hi Steve,
JDev appears to be updating the viewlink files. I have not edited any of them and they all have the timestamp of when i closed JDev last Friday:

IPhone developers, please read...
If your question is specific to the iPhone, please clearly indicate that in the subject of your posting. The iPhone SDK is apparently quite different that the Mac API. A couple of times I have answered some questions incorrectly because I didn't know someone was working with the iPhone SDK. I have also seen the reverse, where someone answered a Mac question with an iPhone response that might not be appropriate.
Most of the time, I can tell right away that a question is about the iPhone and I can ignore it. I have nothing against the iPhone and I may play with it in the future. But for now, I'm clueless about it and I don't want to provide useless and incorrect answers.
ThanksAdditionally,
To post your code unaltered by the formatting you need to bracket your code like this:
{ code }
your code here;
{ code }
without the spaces near the brackets to get the desired effect.
foo = [self bar:foo];
Having your code correctly represented will help you immensely when asking people for help with debugging.
Also the correct place to report bugs and or make feature requests is: https://bugreport.apple.com
That is the only official feedback site that is guaranteed to get the issues in front of the people who actually work on the things you're reporting about. Even if you get a "Duplicate Report" message for every bug you file volume of reports about an issue can help move it to the top of the queue.
Apple does pay attention and track issues reported here - especially for beta releases - so good, clear, concise bug reports entered here helps everyone. However, if you are new to Cocoa please make sure that the problem actually lies with the thing you're reporting and not with your understanding of the thing you're reporting. Keeping the signal to noise ratio good will again help everyone involved.
Thanks for your attention,

Apple Windows iTunes Developers: Please Read
Seriously, as a professional software engineer, can I BEG you to read http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/s3w9x78e(VS.80).aspx. Its really not a difficult function, ALL, and I MEAN ALL of your I/O belongs in a THREAD! You can use http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9tdesxec(VS.80).aspx to update your progress dialogs. Its THAT simple. Yes, it is. Read it again, and again, and again, heck heres, a highly oversimplified example!!! Yes, feel free to use any of that...There is NO GOOD REASON as a WINDOWS APP to grab the focus EVERY 10 SECONDS! Thats just a hack to prevent windows from saying this program is not responding, and any developer sees right through it. Quit with the lazy programming, and put your I/O in a thread where it belongs (or I suppose ASynchronous I/O would be acceptable), and stop interrupting me every 10 seconds while my iPhone updates! Seriously!!! Knock Knock? Who's there? Interrupting Jeeves. Interrupting Jee....INTERRUPTING JEEVES!!!!!! yeah, iTunes is kinda like that, over and over and over again. Even better to note, the windows API for threads mostly maps pretty easily to POSIX threads, so you could do something VERY similar to the thread portion of that code, and have it work on both platforms. I've written thin POSIX layers for windows with some inline functions, and a lot of #defines. Or, you could just use a cross platform system like QT. Its LGPL now, it works on Mac OSX, Linux, and Windows, same code compiles on all three. You could easily bring iTunes to linux and open up a whole new market! That might be the smart thing to do....probably why I do stuff like this every single day...
Seriously though, and I mean seriously, PUT YOUR I/O IN A THREAD!!!!!!!!

Hi,
I have 3 tables table1, table2 and table3 EO and VO are there.
My screen has 2 regions as below
one top region with listing of records from table1 <<<< this works well
bottom region has 2 tabs
First tab has the table2 records corresponding to above row of table1 (using a VIEW LINK between table1 and table2) <<<<< THIS WORKS WELL
Second tab needs to have the table3 records corresponding to the top listing from table1. How do I do that.
View of table1 (used in the top region)
------ view of table2 <<<< VIEW LINK used in first tab
------ view of table3 <<<< VIEW LINK used in second tab
I am not able to create the above table3 view link.
Any ideas please.Have you tried defining ViewLink between table1 and table 3?If yes, what is the behavior you are seeing when you select tab2?

Here's an interesting bug in JDev 9.0.3.1, Win2k:
I'm working with a view link using the Edit View Link dialog. It links two view objects, ViewA and ViewB, in a 1:* relationship. Entities EntityA and EntityB are the respective underliers of ViewA and ViewB. Under the View Link Properties node in the dialog, the only accessor generated is for the Destination view object.
When I click OK, the column constants at the top of EntityA.java become messed up!!
To be specific, all of the accessor column constants defined on the entity object are removed and then re-defined one line above the beginning of the column constants declaration section. They also are renumbered starting with zero, which causes them to have the same value as the first n column constant definitions. Naturally, this causes a "duplicate case label" compile error for the EntityA.java file.
Even worse is if the column constant definitions start on the same line as the opening brace for the class, like so:
public class EntityAImpl extends EntityImpl
{ protected static final int COLUMN_1 = 0;
protected static final int COLUMN_2 = 1;
// etc.
The effect of clicking OK in the Edit View Link dialog is then to produce a ParseException error as the dialog is dismissed. Looking at the EntityA.java file, it's clear why:
public class EntityAImpl extends EntityImpl
protected static final int ACCESSOR_1 = 0;
protected static final int ACCESSOR_2 = 1;
// etc.
{ protected static final int COLUMN_1 = 0;
protected static final int COLUMN_2 = 1;
// etc.
What puzzles me is:
* Why is the entity object being affected at all, since the accessor was only supposed to be generated in ViewA?
* Why are all the accessors being removed and re-added, even those that have nothing to do with the view link being edited?
* Why, when the accessors are re-added, are the constant values duplicated?Please send a test case. I'm unable to reproduce this in a simple project in 9.0.3.1 or 9.0.3.2.
Is there entity inheritance involved?
Do your entity XML files mention _superAttr anywhere in them? If so, you might be hitting a known issue with 9.0.3 relating to entity inheritance at design time and the accessor attributes. -
Bug in bc4j?, view links at runtime, multi table relationships, accessor name
The following seems like a bug in the business components framework
to me:
To make things simple, I will use view objects aV, bV, cV,
corresponding rows aR, bR, cR and row iterators aI (not used though),
bI, cI.
I create two view links from aV to bV and from bV to cV at runtime,
with the accessor names "Bs" and "Cs".
ViewLink a2b = createViewLinkBetweenViewObjects(..., "Bs", ...);
ViewLink b2c = createViewLinkBetweenViewObjects(..., "Cs", ...);
First of all this code works perfectly fine:
ViewObject aV = a2b.getSource();
ViewObject bV = a2b.getDestination();
ViewObject cV = b2c.getDestination();
while(aV.hasNext())
Row aR = aV.next();
System.err.println("aR");
while(bV.hasNext())
Row bR=bI.next();
System.err.println(" bR");
while(cV.hasNext())
Row cR=cI.next();
System.err.println(" cR");
Using the accessor name "Bs" at the first level is ok, too:
ViewObject aV = a2b.getSource();
while(aV.hasNext())
Row aR = aV.next();
System.err.println("aR");
RowIterator bI=(RowIterator)aR.getAttribute("Bs");
while(bI.hasNext())
Row bR=bI.next();
System.err.println(" bR");
HOWEVER, USING THE ACCESSOR "Cs" AT THE SECOND LEVEL OF THE MULTITABLE
RELATIONSHIP IN THE FOLLOWING CODE, GIVES ME AN EXCEPTION
oracle.jbo.NoDefException: JBO-25002: Definition Cs of type Attribute
not found. THE SEEMS LEGAL USAGE OF THE ACCESSOR "Cs" TOO ME THOUGH,
THEREFORE MY SUSPICION OF A BUG.
ViewObject aV = a2b.getSource();
while(aV.hasNext())
Row aR = aV.next();
System.err.println("aR");
RowIterator bI=(RowIterator)aR.getAttribute("Bs");
while(bI.hasNext())
Row bR=bI.next();
System.err.println(" bR");
RowIterator cI=(RowIterator)bR.getAttribute("Cs");
while(cI.hasNext())
Row cR=cI.next();
System.err.println(" cR");
(By the way, could make your window for filling in the message a little bit wider,
making it easier to cope with the line breaks).
Feedback is appreciated.

nullYour results are as expected per the imlementation. Basically you've established (two) ViewLinks between two sets of two instances of VOs.
Now you try and get an accessor to return a set of details. You need to establish a link between that detail set and it's details to use the accessor on the second detail to get the desired results. Basically you've to establish the chaining between appropriate instances of VOs and not just the outer VOs or VO members of your AM. -
TP4 ADF BC [BUG] view link are not updated after database synchronization
I have a table with a recursive relationship.
By mystake, I created a recursive foreign key for the same attribute (deptid->deptid instead of deptid->parentdeptid).
I generated entity, view and application module from this schema.
When compiling, errors was produced indicating the problem.
I corrected the problem in offline database, generate the changes into the database successfully.
I ask to synchronize the entity with the database, the changes was identified correctly and a new association was created.
First remark: the old one still there and it was necessary to delete it and rename the new generated one (to be consistent with other name). May be an option to overwriting the old one will be more pleasant, may be asking if the new one has to replace an existing one and show a list of existing ones.
Regenerating the association was correct and one error was removed when compiling again. The error on the view link still there.
I would like to delete the assoc and recreate it from the entity assoc but it was not possible easily because the view link is used in the application module !!!!
It will be nice to permit to regenerate an existing view link from an entity association without deleting it.
May be it is a better way to synchronize ? I would be very interesting to know how to achieve it as the best !Was the inability to have the synchronization remove the key specific to the existing association's being self-referential, or if your initial association was from DeptId to some other attribute (which you then corrected) would the synchronize have fixed the problem?
The simplest way to achieve what you want given existing features would be to have delete the view link instance, view link, and association, follow by resynchronizing (I believe), then recreating the viewlink and adding back the view link instance. -
When creating a many-to-many view link based on a many-to-many association, the view object on the left must be based on the entity that was on the left when creating the association. Why is this? Surely it shouldn't matter.
Just to add to this:
If the view object on the left of the link is not based on the entity that was on the left when creating the underlying association then the accessors for the association will not be visible under the view in the link editor. -
Can I use View Link in ADF Creation Forms Jdev 10.1.3
Hi...
I created a view link of two tables. Then I created a ADF form with Master Object to show some informations.. and I created a ADF Creation form with the detail Object
I'm trying to submit the informations added in the Detail forms.
but no records are created in Database..
Can I submit a creation form using detail object?
ThanksI figured out "partially" the problem, I tried to overrid the create method, and for any reason the commit operation wasn´t working.
I was trying to set a value for a proprety, but it did not work as a wish.
My intention was.... when an user execute the form. one specific field brings a value.. however I cannot set default value. cause it´ll change sometimes.
it´s something like this
protected void create(AttributeList attributeList) {
super.create(attributeList);
setMyProperty(new Number(0));
do you know how can I figure out this problem? -

I can't scroll down to read my ebook. I have to change pdf view after pressing pg dn to view the next page. Please help!
Sorted out the problem myself - secret is you have to go to Full Screen view to be able to scroll down. Easy as that - but not so apparent if you are new to this.

To find the view link in the attribute definition
Hi, I am using Jdev 10.1.3.2 and ADFBC. I have two master/detail view objects which have view link defined between them. Now I am trying to do deep copy, but I don't want to hard code the view link accessor name in the code. Here is the part of the code to get the list of attributes:
ParentVORow newRow = (ParentVORow)parentVO.createRow();
StructureDef def = newRow.getStructureDef();
AttributeDef[] attrs = def.getAttributeDefs();
Now view link accessor is in attrs, but how can I tell which attribute in attrs is a view link accessor without comparing to the attribute name?
Thanks!Please see section "25.3.4.1 Determining the Attribute Kind at Runtime" of the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers on the ADF Learning Center at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/learnadf.html for more information on this.

Please note this is a peer forum and Creative's Support staff do not guarantee a reply here. If your issue is urgent, you are within your warranty period and/or you do not get a fast reply here you should contact Creative Labs Technical Support.
To contact support click the Support > Contact Customer Support link on this page.
When contacting Creative Support by email it's important to note that you must reply to the autoresponse email you first receive, as detailed in the email itself. Also make sure to check any spam trap you have on your email system if you have not received a reply.
It's also important if you feel that you have a bug or defect with your product to register that issue directly with support. Don't rely on the forum to raise awareness of an issue.
2. Hot Topics
This is dividied into 3 sections: General, Tag based players & USB mass storage players.
Make sure to also look at Section 3, which covers some of the other General Issues.
General
Where do I get the latest software, drivers and firmware?
Click the link Support > Downloads on this page.
In general, when installing on a new PC you need to download the driver, and some software to communicate with the player e.g. MediaSource, Media Explorer. For players using the v2.xx MTP/PlayForsure firmware drivers are not necessary, but you must have Windows XP and Windows Media Player 0 (this provides the MTP driver).
Important: Even though files are described as updates, none of the software requires a previous version to install. At worst they will prompt you to connect your player to verify you own a Creative product.
Note if you are downloading MediaSource make sure to download and install the relevant MediaSource plugin for your player. If MediaSource can't detect your player this is the first thing to check. For the v.xx PDE firmware the plugin is called the Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin for Creative MediaSource , and for the v2 MTP/PlayForSure firmware it's called Creative MediaSource Plugin for PlaysForSure devices .
I am completely new to MP3 players, where should I start?
Have a read of my Nomad Primer, so called as Creative's MP3 player range tend to be prefixed with the word Nomad.
I think I have a bug, how can I check?
There's a known bug list hosted at my site here. If you want to add a bug then please
I have a wish request for the player, what can I do?
You can post it here (see the petitions listed in Section of this FAQ), email it to support, and/or add it to the public wishlist I host here by
I'm having connection problems with my player
If you can, the best test is to try your player with another PC, to see if you still have the problem. This localises whether the problem is with the PC (most likely the USB) or the player. See the link below (search on "connection problems") for a lot more troubleshooting on this.
What bit-rate should I encode my music at?
Ultimately it's down to your ears what bit-rate you prefer, and you should listen for yourself to determine it. If you ask on the forum you'll get many different opinions.
Make sure to look at the "MP3 vs. WMA" link below also.
How long should my battery last?
For the Zen and Nomad Jukebox players, to get some idea of how long your battery will last for a given bit-rate look at the battery curves thread. Ultimately battery life is dependent on how you use the player, make sure to follow the "why doesn't my battery last as long as expected?" link below.
How long does an RMA take?
Typically 2 weeks. But it might take a little longer, so don't start posting if it's 5 days.
I want to know how people feel about their Zen Micro/Touch/MuVo etc.
There's a long post titled Experience with your Creative player that has many posts from users about their players. Please search back for threads about specific players before starting a new thread.
Where can I buy online music or get legal downloads for my player?
See this thread.
My tracks don't play at the correct speed e.g. they play too slowly, why?
Chances are they are encoded in an unsupported sampling frequency. The tracks will need to be re-encoded at a supported bit-rate and/or frequency with something like Creative's MediaSource Audio Converter or dbPowerAmp.
Can a Creative player work on an Apple Mac?
It isn't officially supported, but some kind folks out there have written freeware applications to get your Creative player working with Macs. XNJB provides support for the Zen players, and requires OS X 0.3 or 0.4 (check the site for full details). MuVoHelper solves some problems with getting the MuVo to work optimally. The iTunes Zen plugin should support all Zen players. Note if the link to the plugin is broken just Google "iTunes Zen plugin" to find other sources. Also note there's no guarantee that these programs will work with the Mac, so if you have issues you should address your problems to the developer(s) of the relevant program.
Can a Creative player work on Linux?
Again it isn't officially supported, but again some kinds folks out there have written freeware applications to get your Creative player working. There's the Gnomad2 project. And don't forget the Linux forum at Nomadness.net if you are still having problems.
Tag Based Players
This section covers the players that use a hard disk and work using tags e.g. Zen Xtra, Touch, Micro, Sleek.
My Zen is not behaving properly, won't startup, or goes into rescue mode. What should I do?
If the Zen is not starting properly or not behaving correctly, first try to reset it. To reset all players except for the Zen Micro there is a small switch on the side of the player typically, that you should press using something like a bent paper clip. Don't use anything sharp. To reset the Zen Micro simply remove the battery and replace it.
If this doesn't work then access rescue mode, and try running a disk cleanup.
Next you should try reloading the firmware/OS, but beware if you are having connection problems also with your PC you may end up with a player that has no firmware and cannot be reloaded.
The last resort is to format the player. This will erase the contents from the player, including the content that ships with the player.
If none of these resolve the problem and you are under warranty you should get in contact with support to arrange replacement of the player.
If you aren't under warranty Creative will still repair the player, which you can arrange by contacting support.
How do I do a Disk Cleanup and/or access Rescue/Recovery Mode?
Refer to the sticky Rescue Mode thread. Disk Cleanup is accessed from this. Note that the MuVo players (with the exclusion of the MuVo? players) do not have Rescue Mode.
How long should a Disk Cleanup take?
It should only take a few minutes, and no longer than 30 minutes. Anything longer than this and there is a problem with the player and you need to contact Creative Support.
How long should a format take?
Only a few seconds. Anything more than a minute and there is a problem with the player and you need to contact Creative Support.
Although I can get into Rescue Mode, I can't select any option, or the options don't work?
If Rescue Mode is not working properly or commands can't be chosen the player is faulty. You need to contact Creative Support.
When are the Zen 20Gb/Neeon going to be released outside of the Asia Pacific region?
Due to popular request the Neeon is launched in the USA, but nowhere else for now. If you want the Neeon then contact your regions Customer Services to request it.
The Zen 20Gb is available from some shops in the USA and Europe e.g. Cambridge Soundworks, and Amazon.co.uk.
Is there a known issue with the Zen Micro headphone socket?
Creative Support have neither confirmed nor denied it officially. Some users have posted purported emails from Creative on the forum saying that the socket has been reinforced, but these have not been confirmed by Creative Support either. The exact incidence of the problem is unknown, but newer players seem to suffer less from it.
Should I buy the Zen Micro or Touch etc. and what colour should it be?
We can't tell you what player to get, or what colour it should be. Look at your collection size and the features of the player (see Nomadworld.com for the product pages) and decide yourself based on this.
Why does my Zen Micro battery drain so quickly?
The standby time (24 hours from turn-off) for the Zen Micro seems to use a lot more power than previous Zens. Creative have released both v (..0+) and v2 (2.20.05+) firmware that reduces the standby time to 4 hours. Make sure to update to one of these if you have a draining problem.
Also see JazzMC's detailed page on this problem.
Why is my Zen Micro/Touch Touchpad so sensiti've and/or difficult to use?
The Touchpads take some time to get used to.

See here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net.
If the firmware will not apply because it says the version number is the same use the Reload OS option, access to which is described in the relevant FAQ for your player below.

All,
I have a view link defined which and both the VO are part of my AM.
At run time i am supposed to get the list of notes for a particular line. (the view link establishes this connection). However when i run my application i am not getting any records. Below SQL is getting fired for each request
SELECT * FROM (SELECT note_type_meaning, note_status_meaning, creation_date, created_by_name,
notes, row_id, jtf_note_id, notes_detail_size, entered_by,
source_object_id, source_object_code, note_type, note_status, CONTEXT,
attribute1, attribute2, attribute3, attribute4, attribute5, attribute6,
attribute7, attribute8, attribute9, attribute10, attribute11,
attribute12, attribute13, attribute14, attribute15, created_by,
entered_date, last_updated_by, last_update_date, last_update_login
FROM apps.ast_notes_details_vl
WHERE source_object_id = :bLeadNumber) QRSLT WHERE SOURCE_OBJECT_CODE = :Bind_LeadNumber
<logQueryStatementAndBindParameters> BindVars:(bLeadNumber=null,Bind_LeadNumber=23040400)OK, the above sql is used to get the count but i am a bit lost as to why the bind variable is taking value at only one place.
Please advise
