ADF chapter 3 summary

Getting Started
The important  notes are:

  1. Generic VS strong typed API:
  • generic is to use only one method that accepts column name as string
  • strongly typed is to use getter method for the attribute or column name
Example
Row row = ordersVO.getCurrentRow();
Date shippedDate = (Date)row.getAttribute("OrderShippedDate");

OrdersRow row = (OrdersRow)ordersVO.getCurrentRow();
Date shippedDate = row.getOrderShippedDate();

2. interfaces accessible for the client:
1- Application Module
2- View objects, representing the query components
3-View rows, representing each row in a given query component's results

3-Custom Client Interfaces for Components
you can create your own custom interface that contains your custom business services required to be exposed to some clients.
so, you can create your java class that extends the super interface . for example

  • StoreServiceAM extends ApplicationModule : Custom application module interface
  • OrderItemsInfo extends ViewObject :            Custom view object interface
  • OrderItemsInfoRowClient extends Row   :       Custom view row interface

4- Overview of Groovy Support
     Groovy is:

  1. scripting language
  2. Java-like syntax
  3. executed at runtime
  4. strongly typed language
     used for :

  1. Define an Script Expression validator or Compare validator
  2. Define error message tokens for handling validation failure
  3. Handle conditional execution of validators
  4. Set the default value of a bind variable in the view object query statement criteria statement
  5. Define the default value for an entity object attribute
  6. Calculate the value of a transient attribute of an entity object or view object
adf object


There is one top-level object named adf that allows you access to objects that the
framework makes available to the Groovy script
  1. adf.context - to reference the ADFContext object
  2. adf.object - to reference the object on which the expression is being applied
  3. all attributes in Entity objects
  4. all attributes in View Objects
  5. Bind variable in view objects:
  6. Bind variable in view accessors:
  7. Transient attributes:
  8. adf.error - in validation rules, to access the error handler
  9. adf.userSession - returns a reference to the ADF Business Components user session
  10. adf.currentDate
  11. adf.currentDateTime
  12. newValue: in an attribute-level validator, to access the attribute value being set
  13. oldValue: in an attribute-level validator, to access the current value

Another user has changed the row with primary key oracle.jbo.Key[12 ].

Try these solutions:  make sure that you check "refresh after insert" and refresh after update" for the primary key column in you entity object. in the application module tab Click the Properties tab and select jbo.locking.mode. Double click the “pessimistic”value next to the property to open the field editor and type “optimistic” over the value.Press enter. if error still exist then you must set "refresh after insert" and refresh after update" as true for all attributes in the entity object another way is to execute the View Object after the commit operation to bring back updated data to ViewObject. For this we need to override the  afterCommit()  of ViewObject class as follows:                  public void afterCommit(TransactionEvent){                         executeQuery();                       }              5- another way to solve this error is to overide the lock() method of the EntityImpl class       public void lock() {

Working With File Throgh WebUtill

-------------------------------------------------- Required Configuraion : By default the file transfer is disabled in webutil for a security measure. So, you have to enable File transfer configuration in webutil.cfg file. The webutil.cfg file is located in  forms\server. Open The webuil.cfg file and edit the following parameters : transfer.database.enabled=FALSE   Change To TRUE transfer.appsrv.enabled=FALSE       Change to TRUE WebUtil_File contains APIs to manipulate files and directories on the client. These Functions Or APIs are: Copy_File :  Copies a file Returns a Boolean to indicate success.  Syntax :   Webutil_File.Copy_File(SourceFileName in Varchar2 , Destination In Varchar2) Return Boolean  Example   Declare  vCopied Boolean;  Begin   vCopied :=  Webutil_File.Copy_File('C:\temp\mypic.jpg','X:\destination_folder');  If vCopied = true Then    Message('File copied Successfully');  Else   Message('Error in Copying File');  End if; Delete_File:
