Finally.. I have reached this point.. all out of frustrations.. 🙂
They.. still point the finger at me… again
I started this from December 2009(last 6 months was awesome)

setting uniqueid for the attributes
At design time, Fusion Middleware extensions provide the ability to identify if an entity attribute needs a globally Unique ID. This is accomplished by setting Application Unique ID to true in the entity attribute’s Property Inspector
oracle.jbo.server.uniqueid.UniqueIdHelper.getUniqueId(adf.object.unwrapObject());
Increase the minimum/maximum heap size of Jdeveloper
To change the values for minimum and maximum Java heap, modify the corresponding parameters in $JDEV_HOME/ide/bin/ide.conf
Other parameters can be set in $JDEV_HOME/jdev/bin/jdev.conf
What is Fusion and what are we doing
Fusion as the name describes is the collective integration of best of breed softwares to simplify business needs. The revolutionary dream of Oracle claims to change the way we see business applications.
Some of the key technologies included are
UI Technology – ADF UI, ADF DI, ADF Mobile, DVT
Model Technology – Toplink, EJB
Backend Technology – Oracle Database, Essbase
Orchestration – Oracle BPEL Process Manager, SOA
Secuirty – Oracle Platform Secuirty Services,OPSS
Server – Oracle Weblogic Server
Customization – Oracle Metadata Services MDS
Aditional Technology – Oracle Enterprise Scheduler Services ESS, Oracle Business Rules OBR, Oracle Data Integrator ODI
and many more technologies from acquired products.
Javascript code to fire the event
The following function can be called using the af:clientListener on any event
function showMenu(event){
var adfRichMenu = event.getSource();
adfRichMenu.getPeer().show(null,true);
}
Difference between commandToolBarbutton and commandButton
Ever wonder what is the difference between a commandToolBarButton and the commandButton
here it goes
CommandToolBarButton – partialSubmit – Default Value: true
whether the action should be done through a partial page submit or not. The default is true for commandToolBarButton, so be sure to specify partialTriggers if content needs to be updated.
CommandButton – partialSubmit – Default Value: false
whether the action should be done through a partial page submit or not. Default is false: no partial page submit; the full page will be refreshed. When set to true, the full page will not be refreshed. To re-render specific components on your page in response to the partial page submit, you have to tell ADF Faces. The easiest way to do this is with the partialTriggers attribute.
solving ws/common/contextProvider error
Adding the web service data control library to the project will kick this error out
Placeholder Datacontrol
There are two types of development in ADF development using jdeveloper. ui-first approach and data-first approach.
ui-first approach – design the UI first and then the data
data-first approach – design the data first and then design the UI accordingly.
In the first approach, we are sure that its very hard to design a real-time web application without some data. For this purpose adf provides a placeholder datacontrol using which we can design the page accordingly. The placeholder datacontrol is a simulation of actual data control in realtime scenario and we have full options to design the page without the actual data using this.
To start with,
In the Application Navigator, right-click the project and choose New
In the New Gallery, expand Business Tier, select Data Controls and then Placeholder Data Control, and click OK
Enter the values for place holder name, Directory name, Description and click ok
Datacontrol.dcx, adfm.xml, placeHolder.xml file gets created
Now, right-click the created datacontrol in the panel and select ‘Create Placeholder data type‘
create the attributes and click ok
The created datacontrol is exposed in the panel like a normal datacontrol
The attributes that are exposed can be dragged and dropped to the page as usual
Scroll to specific row in a table on pageload
Following code will help you to scroll to a specific row in a af:table on page load.
//Code to scroll to a specific row this.tableBinding.setRowIndex(rowIndex); RowKeySet ps = this.tableBinding.getSelectedRowKeys(); ps.clear(); ps.add(this.tableBinding.getRowKey()); AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(this.tableBinding);
Also set the displayRow=selected for the table
How normal jar library is different from ADF Library?
Whenever you create a deployment profile for the model project in ADF you will select the ADF Library type rather an ordinary library type (java jar type)
Both act as a library archive supporting jar and zip files
What is the difference then?
- ADF library differ in a way that it behaves. It has the uniqueness of automatically pulling in the dependent jar files that is referred by any of the files and written in to the manifest files. The dependent libraries that are needed at runtime is pulled n by Jdeveloper as secondary imports.
- The library exposes the meta data files likes task flows allowing the user to drag and drop in their files as dependent files which normal jar will not expose and support. The dropped taskflow will be added as a region in the page.
