Weblogic7.0 beta workshop

I am getting following error message when trying to start weblogic server from
TOOLS-Start Weblogic Server:
can not find file StartWebLoficServer.cmd
How do i fix this.
Thanks,
sa

Hi Sa,
You are running WebLogic Workshop on Windows NT, right?
This error is caused by a difference in the way the START /D cmd.exe extension
is implemented on NT and W2K. The code in Workshop was designed for W2K, hence
the reason you get the error. The workaround is to start WebLogic Server (using
%WL_HOME%/samples/workshop/startWebLogic.cmd) outside of Workshop. It (Workshop)
will pick up that you have starter WebLogic.

Mike Wooten

Procedure to delete a project in Workshop

Hi All,
In the current version of WebLogic Workshop IDE, we have not provided an
option to delete a project.
I have listed below the 3 steps you need to take to delete a project.
Steps
1. Delete EJB components corresponding to the JWS files in the project
through the console.
2. Edit the config.xml file to remove the WebAppComponent entry
corresponding to the project.
3. Delete the project directory from the applications directory.
Reasoning
The creation and building of a project, say "testProject", in Workshop
leads to the addition of the following WebAppComponent entry in config.xml
file:
<Application Name="_appsdir_testProject_dir"
Path="C:\bea\weblogic7\samples\workshop\applications"
StagingMode="nostage" TwoPhase="true">
<WebAppComponent Name="testProject" Targets="cgServer" URI="testProject"/>
</Application>
Evey JWS file built in the testProject, say "testJWS", creats the following
EJBComponent entry in config.xml
<Application Deployed="true" Name="testProject.testJWS_EJB"
Path="C:\bea\weblogic7\samples\workshop\cgServer\.jwscompile\_jwsdir_testPro
ject\EJB" TwoPhase="true">
<EJBComponent Name="testJWSEJB" Targets="cgServer" URI="testJWSEJB.jar"/>
</Application>
To delete a project, these two or more entries should get removed from the
config.xml file. The EJB corresponding to a JWS can be removed through the
console. However, please note that if the server is running in the
development mode, a webapp in the "applications" directory cannot be deleted
through the console. Hence, the config.xml file needs to be manually edited
to remove the WebAppComponent entry corresponding to a Workshop project
(which is essentially a webapp). The physical project directory can then be
deleted from the applications directory.
I realise this is some hardwork, and we do plan to address this in version
2.
Please do let me know if you have any further queries regarding this issue.
Regards,
Anurag

Workshop 8.1 beta - problem with creating Database control

Anyone face this problem?

Workshop 8.1.x with IE7 Beta installed??

Has anyone tried installing IE7's beta with Workshop installed on the same machine?
I have tried this and I am now missing all of the image rendering in the JSP editor of Workshop. They all just appear as red x's.
Any thoughts?
Yes, I know this is beta, but the reason we use betas is to identified these types of issues.

Hi Christopher,
I've tried this with both IE7 Beta2 and Beta3 and have noticed the same behavior. There is a internal bug filed on this issue.
The only workaround which I am aware of is to uninstall IE7.
The reason for this behavior is that the 8.1 IDE relied on IE specific behavior, which is why the JSP editor was only available on Windows and not on Solaris. In IE7, looks like MS has changed soemthign which is causing this issue.
Thanks
Raj

Workshop 8.1 beta working with CVS or Clearcase

Hello,
I have 2 questions.
I know BEA Workshop 8.1 is suppose to be able to work with CVS out of the box.
Is this currently supported in the Beta release?
Second, I've had a request to see if I could make Workshop work with Clearcase
Source control. Typically I would figure this would be something BEA would provide
downstream. However if the CVS integration is script driven, then it may be possible
to modify the script to send clearcase commands.
Regardless, does anybody have any insight to this or is it not possible to get
Workshop to work with Clearcase with out BEA providing this capability.
btw I do realize you can simply just use the source control seperate from Workshop,
however I'm looking for the integrate method if possible.
thanks

The Beta 9.2 Team,
9.2 features sounds good and interesting. We are using BEA's Content management system(8.1) extensively.
Our requirement is to create a portlet for Content Owner/Users to create HTML documents with images and upload it into BEA Repository. Upon uploading, Content Admin needs to be notified through email and they will either approve or reject the document. The content status again needs to be notified to the content owner/user via email.
1. As known to everyone 8.1 doesn't have WYSIWYG editor and is included in 9.2. Can i reuse the 9.2 WYSIWYG functionality into 8.1 as a portlet??
2. The following thread(http://forums.bea.com/bea/message.jspa?messageID=400001479&tstart=0) says

Studio 12 beta IDE fails to import Workshop project

I tried to import one of my Workshop projects into the new IDE and everything appeared to work OK (except the delete key doesn't work in the text boxes).
The problem is only one target (the last) was imported. Not a lot of use...
Ian

Hi David,
First off - thanks for the response. I do have some follow up questions if you don't mind though:
1. When you say the install is corrupted, do you suspect
- the file I downloaded from the website either was corrupted, or was not the correct file for my platform
- the procedure used to install the software was incorrect
- something else
2. Is there a logfile that the sun studio install creates which would indicate an error during the installation procedure? I'm sure our admins who performed the install would have shouted if an error was logged... but on the offchance that the installation does not 'shout loudly' for some errors, I'd like to see a log of the error. At a minimum, I'd expect it to say why the install failed, and what we need to modify to ensure a successful install next time 'round.
3. I successfully compiled my code using the C compiler from the install. My unit tests also look good... does this suggest that the install was at least a partial success, and would you suspect that my recompiled executables are reliable, despite the fact that I cannot launch the IDE?
4. Today, one of our admins telnetted to our unix server - not via exceed by the way, but he did try the following test:
- set his display env variable (he knew he would not get a display however)
- executed the sunstudio script
He did not get the netbeans error, and the process appeared to be running (as I mentioned, without a display) until he killed it. I've asked if they can repeat the test using an exceed session. I thought there may be something on his $PATH that I did not have - unfortunately this was not the case (although, he may have access as 'root' to something that I require to launch the IDE). My question is, would you expect this behaviour if the install was corrupted?
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Brendan.

Questions, Suggestions, Bugs - results from 7-day workshop

Last week we (AMIS that is) finished yet another JHeadstart workshop with one of our customers development teams. In this workshop we focused on Struts, BC4J and both JSP and UIX. (so no Toplink this time). By the way: we used JHeadstart 9.0.4.5 in conjunction with JDeveloper 9.0.4.
Over the course of this 7 day workshop we had several discussions, most of these the result of our customers ambition to generate all or most of an application they had already developed manually using the Web PL/SQL Toolkit and integrated with Oracle Portal. These discussions resulted in several questions/suggestions/enhancements requests. I list them below to inspire future releases.
Questions:
·     Why does JHeadstart not make use of the UIX-Struts integration (see Chapter 15 of the UIX developers Guide)?
·     How do you specify which columns/attributes in a Table Layout are sortable?
Suggestion/Enhancement Requests:
·     Offer the possibility to generate Regions Side by side instead of always below each other
·     Could you provide the same kind of nested navigation on persistentAttribute for BC4J as you offer for Toplink, e.g. through the use of Jakarta Commons BeanUtils in DataObjectImpl.getAttribute()?
·     Allow Master-Detail with Detail Table-Form layout style and same page is true (at least a recipe, preferably full generation) (I do understand that having multiple Child-table-layouts with Details-buttons on the same Master-page could be an issue due to the conflicting details-events, but surely one can be arranged?)
·     Generation of breadcrumbs for JSP
·     Allow us to specify for a file upload which attribute will hold the filename; allow us to specify for download which attribute will provide the filename (for the save as dialog in the browser) and possibly the mime-type.
·     Allow an Alt-text property to be defined for attributes with Display Type = Image; this alt-text property can refer to another attribute.
·     In Jsp: Display Type displayField should generate a <bean:write> instead of a disabled <html:text> field. For domain-based attributes that are normally rendered using a pop-list (Choice), a displayField requires additional logic to display (bean:write) the meaning rather than the value
·     Allow the prompt to be empty (if you leave the prompt property empty, the generator will use the attribute name; you can not explictly leave it empy; the workaround is to type a single space for the prompt)
·     Provide a way to preview the defaults that the generator will use for properties that are not explicity set OR provide a way to explicitly set those defaults as values on the Entity Objects attributes
·     Allow the Domain and Region-properties to be set through a Combo-box with a list of the available Domains and Regions
·     Make the private members in oracle.jheadstart.model.bc4j.handler.DataObjectImpl protected, so that a subclass can access those variables
·     Allow us to specify a split prompt , for example Weight|kg that would display as Weight . (field) kg; make the JDG pick up split prompt from Designer and set accordingly in the VO Attribute.
·     Allow the definition and generation of separate prompt and hint values for Find, Table and Form-page
·     Provide a utility to copy VO Attribute properties between ViewObjects (or even to copy entire ViewObjects)
·     Documentation: provide a JDG Reference to-from in addition to from-to: it is very convenient when trying to generate an application using the JDG if you can easily find out what you have to do set in Oracle Designer in order to achieve some result in the generated application. For example: how do I generate a Table-Form layoutstyle?
·     Provide a shortcut to run the JDG again, with the exact same settings as the previous run; this makes incremental development using the JDG a lot more convenient; having to walk through the entire wizard for every little change in Designer is rather a pain.
·     Provide properties in the Group, Lookup and Region elements in the Application Structure File (editor) for recording post-generation changes
·     Generate Regions (minus Table Summary items) in Detail Disclosure
·     Provide (style)Class property on ViewObject Attributes and generate the styleClass property for UIX elements or a class property for JSPs (if the Struts tags do not cater for a Class property, you can also generate a <SPAN class=> around the JSP items)
·     Provide a shortDesc or altText property for VO Attributes; these are turned into popup texts on items and can for example provide popup hints in a Table Layout; generate the UIX shortDesc property.
·     Provide preComment and postComment properties on VO Attributes, Groups and Regions; the values of these properties should be generated into the UIX or JSP pages as  and . Not only does this allow better documentation of the generated sources, it also provides hooks for post-generation utilities.
·     Support displayType numberField/numberItem; this in UIX would render a right-aligned input-item
·     Allow specification of dateFormat at VO Attribute level (in addition to Service Element)
·     Switch to JSTL from the Struts tags at least for bean:write (c:out) and all logic tags; configure new JHeadstart projects for JSTL (libraries, taglibs, web.xml etc.)
·     Allow multiple values to be returned from a List of Values
·     Allow an onBlur property on VO Attributes; this property includes a piece of JavaScript to be executed on leaving the item; the code may refer to other items in the same record. Ideally also provide other event-triggers such as onFocus, onMouseOver etc.
Bugs?? We ran into some issues that may indicate bugs
·     The Master-context in UIX pages for Detail Group, Table-Form (same page false) is missing
·     Master context in JSP voor Detail Group, Form page (same page false) is missing
Watch this Topic    Copyright 2004, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved. About OTN I Contact Us I About Oracle I Legal Notices and Terms of Use I ·     A ViewObject Attribute with displayType File Upload seems to result in a html:file element that pastes the contents of the file into the HTML Page: <input type="file" name="PublisherLogo" maxlength="100" size="30" value="ÿØÿà JFIF H H ÿÛ C ? $.' ",# (7),01444'9=82<.342ÿÛ C etc It would seem that the value attribute of the <html:file> element should explicitly be set to an empty string
·     (I am not absolutely certain that this is really the case, but we have seen this behavior several times) The JDG seems to generate a faulty BC4J Design for JDeveloper 9.0.4: when running the JDG for the second time for a Module, a second, similar ViewLink is created where the JDG should overwrite a previously created one. In the BC4J Tester we could still see the data, but in the generated application, we could not find the children of the masters through this duplicated ViewLink. Removing the second viewlink did not solve the problem. Creating the ViewObjects and ViewLinks from scratch in Jdeveloper (i.e. not through the JDG) worked fine.

In the meantime, I can answer to your questions:
· Why does JHeadstart not make use of the UIX-Struts integration (see Chapter 15 of the UIX developers Guide)?This has been done to allow the same page to be run both with Struts and MVC Framework, without needing to change the page. Using the UIX-Struts integration would have made the pages 'controller aware'.
· How do you specify which columns/attributes in a Table Layout are sortable?As far as generation is concerned, you can only specify the whole table to be sortable. In case of UIX you can post-gen modify the <sortableHeader> tag of each column separately. In case of JSP you can remove the <a href> tag for each column that you do not want to sort on.

How to develop EJB 3.0 Session Beans under WL Workshop 10.3?

Hi there,
I know the theory about EJB, no problem there, but I've been trying to develop some EJB's on WLW, and I'd like to ask you two things:
1. Is there any guide to follow? I found this web page, but I feel it's not quite enough.
2. How do you do to make code-completion working for the EJB (or any other) annotations? I write @javax. CTRL-Space and it starts completing, but it does not add the founded class to the class' imports.
Thanks in advance for any tip!
