What happened to annotations? building components from tables

File > New > Business Tier > ADF Business Components > Business Components from Tables]
there are no longer Entity Beans beign generated.. just useless views.
no java files to modify for complex foreign key relationships..
how to go about this?

Just like in 10g, you can use drag & drop. However, the data control palette was moved and is no longer a fully fledged independent palette, but rather a sub component of the Application navigator, check the data control accordion element of the Application navigator to see all your data controls, and view object. You can drag them in page or on task flow for actions.
As for session bean specifically, do you mean EJB session beans (that wouldn't make much sense since you're using BC4J) or JSF managed bean in session scope? if the latter, you can always evaluate the ValueExpression #{bindings} at any time in your code to get access to the current binding container.

ADF Business Components from Tables - adding more tables

Hi.
I have already created a ADF Business Components from Tables and added tables from the Oracle database.
My question is:
Is it possible to add more tables to the same Business Components model?
Not as a new Component Table, but with the same tables so i can use the same relations and mappings?

Hi and thanks! Yes, I am talking about recreating a the same View Object that i already has created. In my first model i had the tables Name and Address. I want to add a new table called zipcode to the same View som i can choose colums from the zipcode-table in the same View as Name and Address.
I'm not shure what you mean by Data Model tab? Can you spesify?
Thanks!

Intermittent bug: Business Components from Tables wizard exception

Hi JDev team
Just to flag an exception I periodically get in JDev 11g TP with the Business Components from Tables wizard, once I've pressed Finish in the wizard:
java.lang.NullPointerException
     at oracle.jbo.dt.ui.pkg.PKEntityThread.createRelatedViewLinks(PKEntityThread.java:1085)
     at oracle.jbo.dt.ui.pkg.PKEntityThread.createTableViews(PKEntityThread.java:966)
     at oracle.jbo.dt.ui.pkg.PKEntityThread.createObjects(PKEntityThread.java:424)
     at oracle.jbo.dt.jdevx.ui.pkg.XPKComponentWizardEntityThread.createObjects(XPKComponentWizard.java:454)
     at oracle.jbo.dt.ui.pkg.PKEntityThread.run(PKEntityThread.java:396)It is raised when the dialog displays showing the work JDev is doing after completing the wizard to create my business components.
I'm not able to consistently reproduce this issue, though I've encountered it several times. Don't quote me, but it appears to happen the first time I use the wizard in a new JDev session, but is not reproducible again in the same session. However it doesn't always happen when I restart JDev and I'm sorry I can't be more precise.
Hopefully the exception trace will give you enough information to track this issue down.
Regards,
CM.

Hi Ric
Unfortunately not really, it's a basic schema we use to test new software. One unusual thing is a hierarchical fk on the same table. But as I said the exception doesn't always occur, but annoyingly does seem to occur when I'm demoing the 11g TP version to clients. I was just hoping the stack trace would help out.
I'll keep an eye on it and if I can work out why it's occurring I'll update this post.
Thanks for following this up.
Cheers,
CM.

NO Links or Associations created with the "Business Components From Tables"

Hello,
I have a strange problem. I'm working on a Fusion Web Applicaiton. In the Model project, I try to create some Business Components from Tables with the help of the provided wizard.
I select one of my IDE Connections, and I choose two of my tables as Entity Objects (*PATIENTS* and COUNTRIES - more details about them bellow), and also as Updatable View Objects. For Read-Only View Objects I select some other tables, afterwards I choose to create a default Application Module, and I press Finish without creating a Business Diagram. Everything works perfectly except of the fact that the wizzard has created everything but the Links and the Associations between my tables.
To be more precise, COUNTRIES is a simple table, only two columns - ID and NAME, and PATIENTS has some columns like ID, NAME, ADDRESS, DATE_OF_ADMISSION, COUNTRY_ID, where COUNTRY_ID is a foreign key to the COUNTRIES table. Both columns, PATIENTS.COUNTRY_ID and COUNTRIES.ID are NUMBERs. I was expectig the wizard to create a Link and a Association for this foreign key constraint I have between this two tables.
On the other hand, following one of the tutorials I've found, *"Developing RIA Web Applications with Oracle ADF"*, I've noticed that when I was creating Business Components from Tables based on the HR schema, all the Links and Associations were created as they were expected. I've also tried to create the same Business Components from Tables in my own project, and all the Links and Associations were in place. Somehow, it's not working for my particular schema (the one that contains PATIENTS and COUNTRIES).
Is there something I do wrong? I've made sure that all the FK constraints are enabled, alive and kicking. From my point of view, the tables are working and behavig as they should, but I can't understand why that feature of automatically creating the Links and Associations works on the HR schema but not on mine.
Please help!
Bogdan.
PS: I am using Oracle JDeveloper Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.1.0, Oracle SQL Developer Version 1.5.5, and Oracle 10g Express Edition installed on localhost.

Hello John,
Of course I can post the scripts.
The schema name is "TEST". But you should know that there are some extra columns in the PATIENTS table, I've not mentioned before. As you can tell from the scripts bellow, the PATIENTS table has the following columns: ID (number), NAME (varchar2), COUNTRY (number), GENDER (number), ADMISSIONDATE (date), DIAGNOSTIC (number), FIRSTNAME (varchar2), SALARY (number). There are actually 3 FK constraints, I've only mentioned one for the simplifying the example. The first FK constraint is towards COUNTRIES, the second one is towards GENDERS, and the final one is towards DIAGNOSTICS. All this 3 tables have only two columns (ID as number, and GENDER as varchar2). I will post the scripts for all.
Here is the output of the Export DDL to Clipboard from SQL Developer for the COUNTRIES table:

Business Components from Tables

Hello to all.
I'm new on Oracle ADF.
I have a question: I create the objects froma DB by wizard Business Components from Tables.
Model: Project.xml
View: ProjectView.xml
Data Control: ProjectView
I created a jspx page, and I add ADF Table by data control.
Now I want to manage the current row seleted by java code. How can I do this? I haven't any java code for my models....
Thanks,
Cristian

Ok,
In a table a select a row after that I click on a edit button.
Now I have to take from the select row the field XML data (it's a XML DATA TYPE) parse it and add dinamically to the page ADF Components. The XML is like:
<root>
<template>
<inpuTextComponent title="Project title" creator="lucas" description="Some text"/>
<dateComponent title="Date" creator="lucas" description="Some text"/>
<fileComponent title="File of project" creator="lucas" description="Some text"/>
</template>
</root>
I've create the code for adding dinamically the components on page ( [on this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=4085681#4085681] ) but I need to accesso to the selected row for read and also update the data.

What happens to replicat when a checkpoint table is accidentally removed ?

Please let me know what happens when a active checkpoint table is removed?
Does the replicat abend or does it pick from where it left off by reading the trail file.

Hi,
Oracle GoldenGatge keeps track of the details of the transactions that are replicated by two methods.
1. Firstly and always GoldenGate writes to a checkpoint file which resides in the DIRCHK directory.If this Checkpoint File is lost or removed then GoldenGate loses track of your process.
2. Optionally, you can create a CHECKPOINTTABLE during the creation of the Replicat Process. This Checkpoint table can be specified Globally in the ./GLOBALS parameter or separate checkpoint tables can be created for each processes.
But Oracle highly recommends to create the Checkpoint table.
When replicat starts, it will compare the checkpoint file with the checkpoint table. This has been brought because, in the event of failure, the checkpoint file and checkpoint table are referred or read by these processes and it gets started from the point of failure avoiding the re-capture and re-apply of the transactions.
An another useful thing in using the Checkpoint table is, If you stop the Replicat process and flashback the target database and then start the replicat process again, you do not have to change or modify anything at the GoldenGate level. The Replicat process will just pick up as if you also flashed back the GoldenGate inspite of having all the trail files. This is because your Checkpoint Table will also get flashed back and the replicat process reads the checkpointtable and works accordingly.
Regards,
Veera

What happened to mail sent sent from keepers to inbox?

I sent mail from the keepers box to the inbox and it did not transfer. What happened to it? Can I retrieve it?

To what system are you referring? There is nothing on my iPhone called a "keepers box". Is English not your native language? If it isn't, try reposting in the language in which you're most comfortable.
The only thing I can think of is you mean the "Saved" or "Sent" folders in Mail.
Best of luck.

Can I create a foreign key when creating Business Components from Tables

Hi,
I would like to use ADF and JSF to create an application on our database. My problem is our database does not "conform". i.e. there are no foreign key constraints.
When I create a "Business Component from Tables" view, can I put in my own joins between tables so enabling the use of the generated views?
Jon L.

View object instances show up in the data control palette once you've added them to your application module's data model.
See these sections in the ADF Developer's Guide for more information:
Section 2.6.3, "Using View Objects in the Application Module's Data Model" talks about using view object instance in the data model as part of the overview chapter.
Section 4.5, "Understanding the Active Data Model" explains a little more about this
Section 5.3, "Using a View Object in an Application Module's Data Model" shows how to do this.
Chapter 10, "Overview of Application Module Data Binding" gives details on how the application and its view objects are exposed in the Data Control palette.
You can find the guide on the ADF Learning Center on OTN.

Look for the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers.

What happens when I back-save from ID5 to ID4?

First, I am the person with ID5, on a PC using Windows 7 Pro. I'm sending to a Mac that uses ID4, and don't know the operating system, maybe iOS 10? I am hoping the ID version matters more.
I am frustrated because I am sending articles to a small magazine that keep getting messed up by the graphic designer, who knows nothing about grammar, spelling, punctuation or layout. Via Ctrl-E, I am then choosing .idml to back-save it so that the Mac can open the file. I have no idea what is seen on the other end, so here are a bunch of questions:
How much difference is there in letter kerning between ID4 and ID5? (I suspect the other party is pressing Alt-left arrow to scrunch the letters closer together, which he doesn't have to do because I'm sending a laid-out article.)
Do fonts I have that are not on the Mac carried over by a back-saved file? Or does the Mac use a default font? I used ITC Quorum, an Adobe font, which in print was transposed to Times Roman. Plus, I put a "southwest shadow" behind the type in the font; the shadow appears in print at "northwest." (I mean, come on: I'm duplicating what's on my new book's cover and they have to re-design it?!) I have sent pages to my book editor via Ctrl-E and Adobe Print .pdf, and every time she's printed pages that have ITC Quorum, it comes through; there is no default. My book editor has a Mac with OSX, and she doesn't own ID, so obviously there isn't a problem there.
Finally, because of my frustration, I would like to know if there is a way to lock down everything in my article in such a way that the other party cannot format anything; his only option would be to copy and paste into the magazine whatever I send. This would have to be a function well beyond Ctrl-L. I am not getting any communication from this person and any time I challenge what's going on, I get blamed instead. It's a very dysfunctional situation.
In a couple weeks, I hope to meet in person with the person in charge about these issues, with hard copy in hand. That person knows nothing about ID, and so it will help me to know what the other end gets when it comes to sending a back-saved .pdf.
Many thanks in advance for anyone's thoughts.

tman69 schrieb:
my advice is in relation to THAT! and judging by the OP's comments--the magazine appears to not have the newest version of INDD or even a decent RIP (hence the font replacement) additionally--they are opening his INDD file and changing it.
Yes the changes you described can happen--but the original query was 'how to lock down everything'--that's what my recommendation is based on!
You need not to have the newest version of InDesign to place an PDF/X-4 file. At least with CS2 you can place it, if not with 2.0 or CS.
Converting to outline IS NOT locking down everything, it is destroying everything, and yes the described changes will happen.
tman69 schrieb:
Also--where I work--we never use Indesign to convert color space upon export--we use a rip profile to convert RGB to G7, but from the OP's description--the magazine in question, doesn't have a 'decent' rip.
They have InDesign CS4, so they can handle RGB PDF/X-4! So any profile conversion is possible on PDF EXPORT! But to avoid a CMYK-CMYK convertion it is better to use RGB images.
tman69 schrieb:
one more thing--you said "Embed fonts, that is enough!" last time I checked, you cannot embed fonts in an IDML file (which is what the original query was referring to)--however--perhaps the best solution is to just send a 'PDF'--but, I think the magazine in question is not using a PDF workflow (from what's described in the OP they are rotating pages in Indesign and do not have 'modern equipment)--so--I feel that your statement "Please don't make such dangerous recommendations!" is unfounded.
Hey, I am not an idiot. I know that it is impossible to embed fonts in IDML. Fonts can only be embedded in a PDF and have to be embedded to get any PDF/X file.
This magazine is using InDesign, so they are using PDF based programs. And when they work with InDesign, they need a rich PDF, so I recommend a PDF/X4. What else do you want to place? You cannot place any IDML file, you could place also an INDD file, but not from a future version.
No, it is founded. With your recommendations a destroyed and changed file is delivered.

Building components from Abstract component

Hello,
I am a litte confused about using Abstract classes in which
you define the common fields and methods a component might need.
Consider my scenario:
I am building more than a handful clickable icons. The click
is always handled by dispatching an event.
Each class consist of two controls: <mx:Image> and
<mx:Text>. The Image should source an embedded image while
the text displays a more verboose description of the same process.
Something like this:
--add icon-- Add Customer information
--display icon-- Display Customer information etc.
My Abstract class AbstractIcon.mxml looks like this:
<mx:HBox xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
mouseUp="handler(event)">
<mx:MetaData>
[Event name="click", type="com.my.events.ClickEvent")]
</mx:MetaData>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import com.my.events.ClickEvent;
[Bindable]
public var iconNormal:Class;
[Bindable]
public var iconHot:Class;
[Bindable]
public var text:
private function handler(event:MouseEvent):void
theImage.source = iconHot;
this.dispatchEvent(new ClickEvent(ClickEvent.CLICK));
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Image id="theImage" source="{ iconNormal}"/>
<mx:Text selectable="false" text="{ text }"/>
Now I would like to implement this as a iconAdd.mxml
<icons:AbstractIcon xmlns:icons="com.ny.icons.*"
xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Embed (source="/assets/icons/normal/iconAdd.png")]
public iconNormal:Class;
[Embed (source="/assets/icons/hot/iconAdd.png")]
public iconHot:Class;
]]>
</mx:Script>
</icons:AbstractIcon>
However this code breaks: something about member conflict in
the AbstractIcon class. Also adding the override keyword is no use,
as only methods can be overwritten.
How would I make the components as such that I am able to add
a lot of icons components using the Abstract component?
I really like this concept, since all the layout changes
(such as font type, size, colors etc) are all handled in the
AbstractIcon class without the need to change each individual
components.
Thanks for any help,
-Rogier Doekes

I solved the inital problem by doing the following on the
inherited classes:

However, now I reveice a new error:
Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
flash.events::MouseEvent@4294609 to com.my.events.ClickEvent
This error occurs when the mouseUp handler(event) is invoked.
What do I need to do to get around this coercion problem?

Whats happening internally within the unflatten from string function?

I am getting unflatten from string error intermitently in my program. I can't post the program to get help but essentially I am storing a GOOP object reference as a string. The reference is flattened to a string and stored upon creation, at a latter time the string is then unflatterned to retrieve the reference and then the data. This works most of the time but occansionaly the unflatterned from string function fails. Prior to passing the string to the function I am checking that the string isn't null. I am assuming something else is corrupting the string prior to passing to this fucntion and would like to know what would trigger the error in the function as it may help me realise what is happening
prior.

Hi,
It really seems strange this problem, but one thing that might be the cause is how you store the flatten string. You do not mention that. I have once had problems when storing GOOP references as a sting and passing them between test VIs in TestStand using a string parameters in TestStand. A flatten string might have special chars that not all applications (such as TestStand parameters) can handle that and just trunkate the string when such a char is present, mistakenly inteprets that as end of string. Have you tried to check that string length is the same?
However to make sure you get rid of all problems with string termination, you really should cast your GOOP reference into something else. I would instead cast the reference to an U32, or
if you want, to solve the string problem for other types than GOOP reference, then flatten the type into string and then convert the string to an array of U8 before storing it. This would by sure solve your problem.

Removing cluster node what happens to the created pools from thatnode

Hi all,
Reading through the documentation I stumble on:
10.2 Considerations for Working with Shared NSS Pools and Volumes in
the Cluster
To create or modify volumes, home directories, Distributed File
Services junctions, or any other elements that are managed using
eDirectory objects, you must cluster migrate the pool resource back to
the node where it was created before you perform those management tasks.
What does this mean when I removed the node from the cluster? Can I no
longer manage the resource??
regards

I have researched the issue with testing and have an update for you.
There were at least three bugs filed in the past where this problem was reported:
- Bug 77248 - Split/Move / NW65SP3 FCS / NCS - Vol Split only works when the target volume is on the original serv
- Bug 413213 - after migrated NSS pool, getting error when creating volume on that pool
- Bug 444644 - OES2 SP1 BUILD GMC3: Not able to create the user home directory on the cluster enabled volume
What I have learned from working with testing is that the problem occurs only if the server, pool, volume, and cluster objects are in different contexts. The recommended configuration is that they be in the same context, which is why most admins never see the problem. If the objects are in different contexts, eDirectory might not be able to find the information needed to perform the operation and you get an eDirectory error. Whether or not you might run in to this issue depends on how you have set up a cluster and whether you attempt to modify or perform management actions on the pool or volume later that involve an eDirectory object in a different context.
In light of this new information, I am updating the Novell Cluster Services Administration Guide with the following statement. This guide will be re-published the week of August 2, 2010.
10.2 Considerations for Working with Shared NSS Pools and Volumes in the Cluster
http://www.novell.com/documentation/...a/bffygy4.html
The Server, Pool, Volume, Cluster Resource, and Cluster objects should all be all in the same context.
If the objects are in different contexts, you might receive an eDirectory error when you attempt to modify the pool, create or modify the volumes, home directories, Distributed File Services junctions, or any other elements that are managed using eDirectory objects. To resolve the problem, you must cluster migrate the pool cluster resource back to the node where the pool was created in order to perform those management tasks.
