ValueChangeListener on InputSuggest --Unable to find setter method for onchange
Title: ValueChangeListener on InputSuggest --Unable to find setter method for onchange
Hi all.
I'm using a InputSuggest Box from the Sandbox Component.
Within the InputSuggest I want to use a ValueChangeListener... When the page is loaded I get the following error Stack:
exception

/x:inputSuggest
What is the problem? Without the ValueChangeListener it works fine...Was the setter method for onchange forgotten?
Thx! Regards

Re: deleting nodes in tree2
Thanks for your reply. How I delete nodes? I have checkboxes at each leaf and each level of my tree. If the user submits the form with a button say Submit it calls an actionListener, gets the tree2 check all the checkboxes and deletes the nodes. This step works fine. After that, it looks like the tree gets lost with the ids. It seems to be a bug http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-351 !!! So I don't know what to do... Alban.
Why no MyFaces-Forum?
Hi guys, is there any reason why the huge and very active MyFaces-Community is not using a normal Internet-Forum like phpBB or something similar for communication? I just can see disadvantages of using old-fashioned Mailing-Lists - or is there a special reason why you're only using Mailing-Lists? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Greetings, Hendrik Neumann; Bochum Germany
Re: Why no MyFaces-Forum?
Well, I prefere mailing lists over forums. Gmail manages them quite good! also on mail-archive.com there is a good archive for myfaces' mailing list. forums I personally do not like them... no idea why ;-) btw. like Werner suggested... www.gmane.org is good one ;-) -Matthias On 10/6/05, Hendrik Neumann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi guys, is there any reason why the huge and very active MyFaces-Community is not using a normal Internet-Forum like phpBB or something similar for communication?

InputSuggest Problems with value binding
Title: ValueChangeListener on InputSuggest -->Unable to find setter method for onchange
The
next problem I have with the InputSuggest Component is the
following.
I have
a form where the user can set several data,
If the
user enters a String (into the inputSuggest Box), which isn't already in the
List of the InputSuggestButton, I get -1 as result...
Is it
possible to get the String the user entered?
I have
also tried to solve the problem at the bottom and I added a setter Method to the
class org.apache.myfaces.taglib.html.HtmlComponentTagBase
but
that didn't solve my problem. I still get the same message? Where else do I have
to add a setter Method for onchange?
Thx
for your help!

InputCalendar does not work as popup
Hi, I am having trouble using the input calendar component as popup. The effects described below can be reproduced with version 1.1.0 in our production environment (OC4J, Java 1.5) and in several Tomcat versions (4.1, 5.0, 5.1, deploying myfaces examples) using IE, Firefox and Opera. When the Button is clicked and the popup opens, the icons / symbols for switching the month back and forward (the arrows) are rendered only when the mouse has been moved over them. Selecting a month from the dropdown list works fine, selecting a year from the dropdown list simply closes the complete popup, no new year is selected. The Today is pattern cannot be localized / customized. Same to the week number (Wk in English). The Click to select pattern in the status bar of the browser cannot be localized / customized Maybe I am blind, but I am not able to make a submit after selecting a new value e.g. by executing submit(); onchange. As I expect the calendar component to have been tested and for others it works properly, I have no idea why it does not here. Any ideas? Thanks, Daniel

Re: Portlet Modes
This description is off the top of my head, but I know for sure that I
had problems when I didn't set it.
There are some places in MyFaces where it needs to cast
ExternalContext.getContext() as either a PortletContext or a
ServletContext. MyFaces shouldn't require having a portlet.jar so it
cannot make the determination of the type of request based on
instanceof checks and casting. So it determines the request type with
an attribute flag. setPortletRequestFlag() sets that.
I figured this out by looking at the source and reading some discussion
in the JIRA issue tracker regarding the initial creation of
MyFacesGenericPortlet. Look into those areas if you want more info.

Cool. Make sure you call setPortletRequestFlag(request); before

It might be useful to include part of this on the wiki page as an

Patrick Dalla Bernardina wrote:
With your help I've made an improvement to the implementation in wiki

Before calling nonFacesRequest I call an action of an bean called

If this bean is not declared in managed beans, no method is called.
I'm showing only doEdit, but the same can be applied to doView.
public void doEdit(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse

You can use http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/UsingPortletModes as a
starting point.
To invoke a managed bean action, something like this will work I think:
ValueBinding binding =
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createValueBinding(#{myBean.someAction});
Object methodResult =
binding.getValue(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());

Programmatically creating command buttons problem
Hi all, I'm working on a custom ViewHandler like is presented in Hans Bergsten JSF book chapter 15. For that I need to programmatically create a command button. I have buttons that need method bindings to talk to method in my managed beans. But I also need command buttons that simply return a String value, for example cancel like this in JSP: h:commandButton value=Cancel action=cancel/ using this code: UICommand command = new UICommand(); command.setValue(Cancel); MethodBinding action = application.createMethodBinding(cancel, null); command.setAction(action); but I get this exception: javax.faces.el.ReferenceSyntaxException: cancel I know that cancel is not really a method but I don't know what other method to call set the command button to return the String cancel. Anybody any idea? Thanks and regards, Jeroen

Hi Eric,
i have the same task and after searching the mailing list i ended up
with a workaround i found in an old mail (i can't remember who posted
it).
The problem with this workaround is that i needed to remove the '+' icon
with
t:tree2 ... showNav=false ...
and make the folder icon clickable with
h:commandLink action=#{t.toggleExpanded}
actionListener=#{navigationBacker.processAction}
In my NavigationBacker.java:processAction(ActionEvent e)
i load the children nodes with data from EJB3-persistency.
The bad thing is that the '+' icon is now invisible, but i couldn't
find a way to get the event when somebody clicks on the '+' icon.
The org.apache.myfaces.custom.tree2.HtmlTree.java seems to register
_expandControl = new HtmlCommandLink();
to get internally the '+' clicks, but i haven't found a way to
receive the clicks in my code.
I have added this with some code snippets to the Wiki page at

The Navigation Did Not Happen! The Original Web Page is Redisplayed.
I do not understand why my web page does not navigate
to the next web page.
My web page screen1 has a command button and it has
an action attribute.
[code]
action=#{fileManagementBean.displaySelectedFiles}
[/code]
The action invokes a method in the backing bean and
the method returns a String:
[code]
public String displaySelectedFiles()
{
int length = dataFile.length;
for( int i=0; ilength; i++ )
{
selectedDataFiles.add( ( SelectItem )dataFile[i] );
}
return success;
}
[/code]
where dataFile is SelectItem[] and selectedDataFiles
is a List.
In my faces-config.xml, I have specified the
navigation rule:
[code]
navigation-rule
from-view-id/pages/screen1.jsp/from-view-id
navigation-case
from-outcomesuccess/from-outcome
to-view-id/pages/screen2.jsp/to-view-id

Hello, this is a known problem, but we don't have a solution yet. The main idea of Tobago is that the source code (especially the JSP pages) are independent from the output format (e.g. HTML). If we allow to set onchange and onclick events, the source code will depend on the output format. One solution might be to use an abstract scripting language, which can be translated into different output formats. But there is no decision yet. Do you have a concrete problem? Maybe I can help you?

Using javascript components behind a proxy container
I am looking to start using some of the javascript components like inputDate and the schedule, but have come up with a problem caused by our use of JSF conflicting with the way that AddResource constructs the path to the javascript resources. The current setup is: A user will see applications using URLs in the format of: http://www.x.com/a/b/c/test?page=start. This calls the proxy to then pass on the request to URLs such as: http://tomcat:8080/application/app?page=start This calls a servlet which sits in front of the JSF application and forwards the request on to: http://tomcat:8080/application/start.faces (The servlet exists to allow a single path to be mapped on to every page - a requirement of the proxy) Up until now this has worked successfully by using a custom implementation of the form renderer to convert the /application/start.faces format action URLs to http://www.x.com/a/b/c/test?page=start;. However AddResource places URLs in the page of the format /application/faces/ AddResource, does not seem to be a pluggable class and I really don't want to have to patch and build each new release with a customised version. The only other way I can think of solving this is via a filter to parse the response and rewrite all URLs, but this is neither efficient or elegant. I would be grateful for any guidance on this.

Re: Login system security
Right - the nice thing about the jsf-security EL extensions is that
they don't have to be driven from Container Security you can plug in
pretty much any home grown concept of a login page to authenticate and
then your own auth mechanism as well. For instance if you take the
approach of using a "userInfo" bean on the session which is generated
by your own login process then it's trivial to hook that up into the EL
interface

Several Points here
1) Using Security Attributes within your pages.
I'm about to release 1.0 of the jsf-security project on
SourceForge (www.sourceforge.net/projects/jsf-security)
this provides extensions to EL which will give you a new scope
#{securityScope} and a bunch of attributes and pseudo functions such as
#{securityScope.isUserInRole['manager,admin']} which allow you to use
expressions to control rendering and read-only states of components -
even if they are not "role" enabled in the way that the myfaces

or a home grown Authorization / Authentication mechanism you can plug
it in underneath the same consistent EL.
The current version hooks into Container Security, and we've j ust

For more info on this see this

today and build - it all works I just need to write the doc and the
localize the message strings...
2) Using the database to Authenticate / Authorize
Your mileage will vary from container to container, but with OC4J
( Oracle App server) you can plus in your own custom login modules
that can do just this - Frank and I who work on the jsf-security
project just posted a paper on that process a few weeks back:

Re: TOBAGO: howto handle client side events (e.g. onchage) in t:selectManyCheckBox
True, most of the output formats for Tobago which come to my mind have an XML based syntax, therefore you have a DOM and it's pretty easy to define a JavaScript binding for this DOM. If I take SVG (I always wanted a SVG renderer for Tobago ;-) as an example the standard scripting language is JavaScript. The question is if scripts written for the HTML DOM will work on the SVG DOM as well. I'm still hoping that most of the common problems where you normally resort to scripting can be solved in Tobago directly in an abstract way. There are other output media, where the standard scripting language is not JavaScript. For example, I took a look at ActionScript for Flash, which reminds me more of BASIC... but I never really worked with Flash, so I might be wrong here. Since Tobago currently doesn't support any other output medium in a complete manor, perhaps we should support more JavaScript events than we currently do. Actually I consider the supported JavaScript event handlers more or less as hacks and I would like to get rid of them. I have some bad memories regarding JavaScript in a taglib similiar to Tobago...

Problem with Clear the Submitted Value of Multiple Selections from selectManyListbox
I have a selectManyListbox where users can make
multiple selections. The listbox is coded this way:
[code]
h:selectManyListbox
value=#{fileManagementBean.dataFile}
f:selectItems
value=#{fileManagementBean.dataFileItems}/
/h:selectManyListbox
[/code]
The dataFileItems is a List of SelectItem objects
and the dataFile is a String array.
Users may change their mind about the selections made
before they submit the form; therefore, I provide the
form with a Clear Selections button with an
actionListener, and I code this way:
[code]
h:commandButton value=Clear Selections
type=submit
actionListener=#{fileManagementBean.clearMultipleSelections}
immediate=true/
[/code]
In the backing bean, I tried to set the
setSubmittedValue, but could not get it right. Here
is the clearMultipleSelections method in my backing
bean:
[code]
public void clearMultipleSelections( ActionEvent event
)
{
int length = dataFile.length;
for( int i = 0; i length; i++ )
{
dataFile[i].setSubmittedValue( null );
}
}
[/code]
See, the dataFile[i] is a String and the
setSubmittedValue method is undefined for the type
String.

Re: release 1.1.1RC2 : incompatible change to jscookMenu
Simon Kitching wrote: Hi, I've just tried the 1.1.1RC2 release with my current code, and found that the jscookMenu tag now throws an exception, with message: You provided a wrong themeName.. I see that new features have been added to support custom themes. This is fine, but please restore the original behaviour of accepting an unknown themeName value. A bump in the patch-level release number (1.1.0 - 1.1.1) should not have changes that break valid existing user code. I currently implement a custom theme by passing my own theme name to the jscookMenu class and then ensuring that references to the appropriate .js and .css files are inserted into the page too. The old jscookMenu code simply accepted the unknown theme name, included that name in its generated inline javascript, and skipped output of any references to the .js/.css for a built-in theme. The problem change is to class org.apache.myfaces.custom.navmenu.jscookmenu.HtmlJSCookMenuRenderer Possibly a *warning* (logged or even output as a js comment) could be generated by the jscookMenu code to recommend to people that they modify their pages to use the new custom-theming attributes, but throwing an exception isn't nice. Thanks, Simon On a related subject, it would appear that the javascriptLocation attribute is used to locate the JSCookMenu.js and MyFacesHack.js files *as well as* the custom theme's theme.js file. Can this be separated into two different attributes? I would like to be able to specify a theme.js file *without* having to extract the core files JSCookMenu.js and MyFacesHack.js from the tomahawk jar and put them in the same directory. I think introducing a new attribute whose value is the URL of the custom theme file is possible without causing any incompatibilities with prior releases. I'm happy to provide a patch to implement this... Regards, Simon
