Writing a Custom StartPoint

Hi,
I want to know whether i can write a custom startpoint just like a custom component? .
Let me know if there is any way to do it. Please share me any documents or URL's related to it which will help.
Thanks,

When you say like a custom component, I take that as you want to write some Java code which allows for a new way of initiating a process. That would mean the first code run is your code as opposed to the entry point being one of the provided Adobe entry points to a process. Write code with whatever method of kicking it off you want then use APIs to call the LiveCycle process.

Writing a custom component with multiple fields.

Does anyone have some pointers on writing a custom component that properly handles multiple input fields?
An example usage might be as follows:
Assume the following java classes:
public interface Address {
//... getters/setters for Address.
public class Company{
Address getAddress(){...};
}The tag usage might be something like the following:
<custom:address value="#{myCompanyBean.address}" />
Extending UIComponentBase I can easily render the output and create all the needed input elements. I'm also able to properly retrieve the submitted values in the decode method. But I'm unsure how to handle the "UpdateModelValues" step. Do I simply over-ride processUpdates, or is there more housekeeping to be done?
Thanks.

I'm guessing that doing addChild inside createChildren causes an infinite loop.
Why aren't you just doing this with MXML? it would be a lot simpler.

Writing a Custom Property Renderer

Hello all,
I am new to KMC development. I want to know how to go about writing a custom property renderer. Detail step by step instructions as to where to start and what are the configurations, etc. would be a great help for me.
Thanks in advance.
Vicky R.

Hello Vicky,
Step by Step guide to creating Property renderer is:
1. Program an implementation of AbstractPropertyRenderer.
2. Implement a RFServerWrapper service to register your property renderer with CrtClassLoaderRegistry.
CrtClassLoaderRegistry.addClassLoader(this.getClass().getClassLoader());
3. Technical mapping to your coding in the Property Metadata service.
4.Restart your server for the changes to take effect.

Doucmentation/Guide on Writing a custom component (a DSC)

Hello,
I'd like to learn more about writing a custom component (a DSC), does any one know if there is documentation/guide/tutorial on how to start on it? Please share your comments.
Thanks in advance,
Han Dao

Hello,
Thank you for all replies, they are very helpful for starting to learn more about DSC.
I do have another question, is it possible to re-write an already built-in service to customize it in a different way. e.g. The Service Operation "Read Document" in Foundation > FileUtilsService to accept a different type of its Input?
Thanks,

Writing a custom UIOutput component

Hi,
I'm attempting to write a custom tag (with facelets) to conditionally render its child components.
The tag should be something like this:
<mw:menu>
<h:outputText value="blabla"/>
</mw:menu>My menu tag will try to a menu file, and if it exists must insert that file's content as the child content of the mw:menu tag. If not, it should render the default, in this case "<h:outputText value="blabla">". Here's the problem, I can't work that one out, so I hoped you guys could help me along.
Here's what I have (simplified):
public class Menu extends UIOutput {
     private boolean renderDefaultMenu = false;
     public Menu() {
          super();
     public void encodeBegin(FacesContext context) {
          String url = null;
          try {
               // .... Get and read the menu file .....
               String inputLine;
               while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
                    context.getResponseWriter().write(inputLine);
               in.close();
               // We printed the menu, so skip the default menu
               // that is in this tag's body.
               return;
          } catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
               log.warn("Menu file not found (" + url + "), reverting to default menu.");
          } catch (Exception ex) {
               // ... Some logging ...
          renderDefaultMenu = true;
     public boolean getRendersChildren() {
          return renderDefaultMenu;
     public void encodeChildren(FacesContext context) throws IOException {
          super.encodeChildren(context);
     @Override
   public String getFamily(){
       return "be.xxx.web.Menu";
     @Override
     public String getRendererType() {
          return null;
}So far I have only been testing the case of FileNotFoundException, but my menu tag never renders its children.
Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response. Could you please suggest me a way to go about writing your own custom renderers?

Writing a custom RMI Activator process

Hello Group,
I am in the process of implementing a custom RMI activation scheme, in which remote Activatable objects will be hosted in a custom EXE process, instead of the standard Java.exe/Javaw.exe. I intend to use JNI to create the JVM in this custom EXE process and then load Java classes. I have used JNI to create JVMs in native processes before, but have no experience writing custom RMI activation systems.
Has anyone attempted this before, and knows if there are any gotchas that I should know early on?
Thanks,
Ranjit

I have a breakthrough. I am able to host a simple RMI server inside a custom EXE. All I do is inside the main of a Win32 EXE, create the JVM and use JNI to call the ‘main’ of a Java class I wrote below.
This class runs (some undocumented) code to bootstrap the RMI machinery. Hereafter my EXE process process remains alive and is available to service RMI requests. Using this approach, I wouldn’t need to recompile java.c inorder to rename it as long as my custom JNI code is able to parse in all the VM options passed in by RMID in order to create the JVM.
I was missing the crucial step of calling back into rmid (the Activator) and registering the newly created group, only after which would rmid start creating instances of the remote object. Your advice that I carefully read the spec helped!
public class Host {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Class clsInputStream = Class.forName("sun.rmi.server.MarshalInputStream");
Constructor ctor = clsInputStream.getConstructor(InputStream.class);
Method readObj = clsInputStream.getMethod("readObject", null);
Method readLong = clsInputStream.getMethod("readLong", null);
// Instantiate MarshalInputStream
Object in = ctor.newInstance(System.in);
// Read all the data passed in by the Activator (rmid)
ActivationGroupID id = (ActivationGroupID) readObj.invoke(in);
ActivationGroupDesc desc = (ActivationGroupDesc) readObj.invoke(in);
long incarnation = (Long) readLong.invoke(in);
// Create the ActivationGroup
ActivationGroup grp = ActivationGroup.createGroup(id, desc, incarnation);
// Callback into rmid to register the group.
ActivationGroup.getSystem().activeGroup(id, grp, incarnation);
// rmid will now invoke ActivationGroup.newInstance to create the RMI server

Need help in writing code Customer Exit for reporting Variable

Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement.When a authorized user logins to view the report, he should see only customers available in the value help screen.In the value help screen it is displaying all the customers, but data is displayed perfectly fine for the authorized sales rep. By default, Value help screen displaying all the customer numbers.
How can I restrict in the value help screen?
Any help appreciated with points.
Regards,

Hello PNK,
You can use a variable with Process type Authorization. This enables variables to be filled with values automatically from the user authorization.

Writing a custom plugin for Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
I need to add a custom functionality to Crystal Report Designer so that itu2019s available as a menu option is the CRD and should able to be selected by the Report Designer when they design a report using CRD. Is it possible to write and add custom plugins to the CRD? Is there a SDK available to do this or is there a specific method that I could use? Is this supported at all? I need to add the to Crystal Report Designer XI R2 but I could use Crystal 2008 is this is available in that version.
Thank you in advance,

Instructions for writing a custom dsp:tag?

I am planning to write a custom dsp tag for my project, is there any example or documentations about this?

Yes, actually I don't wanna do this also, but I found the <dsp:include/> tag is not failsafe. We are doing some kinds of variable include, the page attributes corresponding to some variable path, however if the variable is null, instead of include nothing, <dsp:include/> tag recursively include currently context.
I wanna know how the collect those params within a atg custom tag, I don't think it can be done without access with ATG api.
Thanks!

Writing a Custom Transformer

Hi, I'm currently using a transformer to output a DOM structure as an XML file. I have not modified the transformer in any way. What I need to do is:
If a DOM Element node has an attribute called "disable" then don't write its XML tag, else write its tag as normal.
Is there a way to modify the transformer to do this? Any help appreciated.
Current code:
public void fWrite(File fOut) {
    try {
      // Use a Transformer for output
      TransformerFactory tFactory =
          TransformerFactory.newInstance();
      Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();
      DOMSource source = new DOMSource(te.document);
      StreamResult result = new StreamResult(fOut);
      transformer.transform(source, result);
    catch (TransformerConfigurationException tce) {
      // Error generated by the parser
      System.out.println("* Transformer Factory error");
      System.out.println(" " + tce.getMessage());
      // Use the contained exception, if any
      Throwable x = tce;
      if (tce.getException() != null)
        x = tce.getException();
      x.printStackTrace();
    catch (TransformerException e) {
      // Error generated by the parser
      System.out.println("* Transformation error");
      System.out.println(" " + e.getMessage());
      // Use the contained exception, if any
      Throwable x = e;
      if (e.getException() != null)
        x = e.getException();
      x.printStackTrace();
}THX
Manehad

You will need to add a XSL to your transformer (refer to XMl tutorial: http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/tutorial/xslt/index.html ). You add a Source to the newTransformer method, which will be used when transforming...
Code example:
import java.io.File;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
StreamSource xslsource = new StreamSource( new File( "xslfile.xsl" ) );
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer( xslsource );
You now need to specify the xsl-sourcefile, I recommend you read through the tutorial listed above, and maybe even the XSL/XSLT specification from http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/ if you feel the need. In the xsl-file, you can use something like the following code to determine whether the attribute is there or not and choose what to do if...
Code example:
<xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="@disable"></xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
     ... Your code goes in here ...
     </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
I hope this helps, I am not an expert programmer but I myself am trying to learn how to do this at the moment...
good luck...

Writing a custom event for mouseenter in ActionScript 2.0

Hi All,
I am trying to implemetn one functionality based on the mouseenter
Unlike the mouseover() event, the mouseenter() event only triggers when the the mouse pointer enters the selected element. The mouseover() event is triggered if a mouse pointer enters any child elements as well.
In jquery latest they added support for mouseenter , i want to do the same in Flash AS2.0
There are only RollOver,RollOut, mousedown, so i want to add mouseEnter event Just like Jquery which is done below
Checks if an event happened on an element within another element
// Used in jQuery.event.special.mouseenter and mouseleave handlers
var withinElement = function( event ) {
     // Check if mouse(over|out) are still within the same parent element
     var parent = event.relatedTarget;
     // Firefox sometimes assigns relatedTarget a XUL element
     // which we cannot access the parentNode property of
     try {
          // Traverse up the tree
          while ( parent && parent !== this ) {
               parent = parent.parentNode;
          if ( parent !== this ) {
               // set the correct event type
               event.type = event.data;
               // handle event if we actually just moused on to a non sub-element
               jQuery.event.handle.apply( this, arguments );
     // assuming we've left the element since we most likely mousedover a xul element
     } catch(e) { }
// In case of event delegation, we only need to rename the event.type,
// liveHandler will take care of the rest.
delegate = function( event ) {
     event.type = event.data;
     jQuery.event.handle.apply( this, arguments );
// Create mouseenter and mouseleave events
jQuery.each({
     mouseenter: "mouseover",
     mouseleave: "mouseout"
}, function( orig, fix ) {
     jQuery.event.special[ orig ] = {
          setup: function( data ) {
               jQuery.event.add( this, fix, data && data.selector ? delegate : withinElement, orig );
          teardown: function( data ) {
               jQuery.event.remove( this, fix, data && data.selector ? delegate : withinElement );
So please help me in implemeting the customevent mouseenter I am using AS2.0

remove the stop() from frame 1. and use tl.play() in the onRelease
and yes, you can use another loop (enterframe) to update the drag_mc position as the timeline plays. that new code would look like:
var tl:MovieClip = this;
tl.onEnterFrame = playF;
paramF(tl,1,0,tl._totalframes,sb_mc._width-sb_mc.drag_mc._width);
paramF(sb_mc.drag_mc,0,1,sb_mc._width-sb_mc.drag_mc._width,tl._totalframes);
sb_mc.drag_mc.onPress = function(){
    this.startDrag(false,0,this._y,sb_mc._width-sb_mc.drag_mc._width,this._y);
    this.onEnterFrame = scrollTL;
    delete tl.onEnterFrame;
sb_mc.drag_mc.onRelease = sb_mc.drag_mc.onReleaseOutside = function(){
    this.stopDrag();
    delete this.onEnterFrame;
    tl.onEnterFrame = playF;
    tl.play();
function playF():Void{
    sb_mc.drag_mc._x = this._currentframe*this.m+this.b;
function scrollTL():Void{
    tl.gotoAndStop(Math.round(this._x*this.m+this.b));
function paramF(mc:MovieClip,x1:Number,y1:Number,x2:Number,y2:Number):Void{
    mc.m = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2);
    mc.b = y1-mc.m*x1;
