Where to find sandbox.jar ?

[listing]

Hello!

First try on a mailing list, hope not to do it all wrong :-)

I am wondering where I can get the latest sandbox.jar from MyFaces? I only 
found it in myfaces-1.1.1, but it seems not complete.

On the sandbox-site I saw fishEyeNavigationMenu and at irian.at I found an 
example using it, which I like very much. But this component is not included in 
the sandbox.jar from myfaces-1.1.1, is it?

How or where can I get it?

Thanks very much,
Sascha

Re: when is form tag required?

I'm a near-newbie, but I think that these components must always live inside a . Is there any reason you can't simply put a  at the top of all your other jsf components, right under your  element?

Re: when is form tag required?

[xie min]

commandButton and commandLink must be in a form, but outputLink can be used without form.

Re: removal of actionForPhase

[Martin Marinschek]

Hi Peter,

yes, you're right. With JSF1.1 and JSP, you'll have to write your
custom validation logic in the backing bean for this to work.

so two options:

1 - write your own validation logic
2 - switch over to facelets.

regards,

Martin

Here is a simplified description of my problem. Tell me if there is a way
to do this.
- My page has two buttons (button1 and button2) and one input field
(input1)
- input1 is required when button1 is clicked
- input1 is not required when button2 is clicked, but must be updated in
the model as long as conversion doesn't fail (In my case input1 is a
number. So as long as it can be converted to BigDecimal).

BTW - I tried to use the optional validation framework but it doesn't work
with JSF 1.1 and JSP.  I'm told it is failing on the wrapped validators.

Hi Peter,

I've rethought about this attribute, and consider it invalid for the
usecase I originally intended it for. What I wanted to do was optional
validation. Now optional validation is nonsense, if in the update
model phase the values won't be passed over from the submitted value
attribute of the components to the backing bean.

do you have a valid usecase for reenabling it?

This is the wrong part. In case of ValueBinding the value is of cause
null. you need here the same if else as in setProperties():

  if (value != null) {
writer.write(value);
  } else {
ValueBinding vb = getValueBinding("value");
if (vb != null) {
  writer.write(vb.getValue(context));
}
  }

Re: [newbie] Beginners questions regarding dynamic links

[Scrut Inizer]

Thanks for your hints. However, as a JSF beginner I still don't know what to 
do. I spent the past 8 hours reading everything I found on the myfaces page 
including the wiki, reviewed the examples and used google extensively. All 
examples I found either used hard coded tabs and such or didn't offer any 
documentation.


But I assume there must be some documentation SOMEWHERE which is sufficient 
to use the panelTabbedPane with a binding?

I couldn't find a much and don't understand what I got.

Thank you very much

To make a long story short :-)

JSF Core can mean MyFaces IMPL or SUN RI, since JSF is a spec
(all Tomahawk is a set of custom components, like Tobago and the ADF Faces 
donation


Reading myfaces.apache.org (and wiki.apache.org/myfaces) will help you
on some questions.

For a tabbed pane you can use MyFaces Tomahawk's component ([1]). the
example is "hard coded" as well. But you can use the binding attribute
to push the component itself to a backing bean. This will allow you
access to the component by hacking java code inside the backing bean.
Means you can add childrens with Java Code (aka tabs)

Here is what I want to do:

I have a collection of music pieces and the associated metadata for each
piece is stored in one database table. In a second table I have multiple
classifications such as

Genre
  Classical
  Jazz
Acid Jazz
Latin Jazz
  Rock

Region
  Africa
  America
South America
North America
  Europe
  Asia
  Australia

Something like that. Each music piece is associated with each 
classification

tree. (Each music piece belongs to a Genre and comes from a different
region…)
Now I want a user to be able to find a list of music pieces by navigating
through any of those classification systems.
I want something like a tabbed pane where the tabs are filled with the 
roots
of those classification trees (in this example there are two tabs: Genre 
and

Region)
Let's assume the active tab is Genre. Then the content of the associated
pane is to be the list of the first level descendants of the root. (In 
this

example: Classical, Jazz, Rock)
Each item is to be a link so that when the user clicks on "Jazz", the pane
will be populated with "Acid Jazz" and "Latin Jazz".

But how do I do that?
1. What components (JSF Core, MyFaces, Tomahawk, Tobago, Sun UI…) should I
use?
2. How do I create the tabs dynamically? I mean: all examples I have seen 
so
far assume that one knows the number and names of the tabs – and 
hard-codes
each of them. But how do I do that dynamically? (If there is only 2 trees 
in

the database there will be only 2 tabs but if there are suddenly 3 trees
there will be 3 tabs and so on)
3. How do I create a dynamic list of links where each link carries a
different parameter (e.g. a unique ID)?
4. How do I pass that parameter on to the Backing Bean method that is
invoked by clicking on the link?

Is that even the way to do this?
My idea was: Let's assume, "Jazz" has primary key "2" in the database and
"Acid Jazz" has "3" and "Latin Jazz" has "4" and the database knows that 3
and 4 are children of 2 because each child holds its parent ID:

ITEM_ID NAMEPARENT_ID   SONG_ID
2   Jazz--  --
3   Acid Jazz   2   --
4   Latin Jazz  2   --
5   Song1   4   1
6   Song2   4   2

Now the user clicks on "Jazz" which calls the method "userClick()" within
the associated Backing Bean. Somehow that link carried the parameter "2"
which is now used by userClick() to ask the database "give me all children
of '2'". The database will return a list with the two items "Acid Jazz" 
and

when is form tag required?

[Ken]

Hi,Given commandButton, commandLink, and outputLink all render as html anchors, I only wrapped them with form tags when a form field was required (inputText, selectItem...).  Everything worked fine across multiple browsers in myfaces 
1.1.1.Now with myfaces 1.1.3 and tomahawk 1.1.2, I'm having a difficult time finding consistent behavior.  Does anyone know when the commandButton and commandLink tags require to be in a form (or require a form within it's page) in order to execute its action event?
Thank you all for any insights you may share,Ken

Re: removal of actionForPhase

Hi Peter,

I've rethought about this attribute, and consider it invalid for the
usecase I originally intended it for. What I wanted to do was optional
validation. Now optional validation is nonsense, if in the update
model phase the values won't be passed over from the submitted value
attribute of the components to the backing bean.

do you have a valid usecase for reenabling it?

Re: which method will be invoked in the invoke application phase.

[Cagatay Civici]

Hi,The queued events in JSF are hold in a private list per phase and as far I know there is no way to access these list public.Since security is a crosscutting concern more than a layer, using aspects might work for you. All the events in JSF extends from FacesEvent which has a method called processListener. Looks like a good point to cut. The problem might to determine which roles can execute which events.

After 2 days of googling I couldn't find out how can I get the method would be called at the INVOKE_APPLCATION phase.
Could somebody help me please?Regards,ArashThe code that actually decides to invoke a particular action method is the decode() processing for the corresponding Command Button or Command Link component.  It triggers the ultimate call by queueing an ActionEvent sourced by that particular component, which will then get executed (typically at the end of Invoke Application phase) by a default ActionListener provided by the JSF implementation.  This listener's implementation will look up the "action" property of the component, and execute the action method with a method binding _expression_.
Given this, one strategy for implementing a security layer would be to register your own default ActionListener (using a  element inside a  element, in a faces-config.xml file) that would be invoked instead of the default one.  If I were doing this, I'd probably follow this kind of a strategy:
* Make my listener implementation class have a constructor that takes  an ActionListener argument.  This lets me leverage the "decorator pattern"  approach JSF follows for extension points, because JSF will pass in a
  pointer to the original default ActionListener, so you can delegate to it.* When the event actually fires, you know which component it is (the origin  component in the ActionEvent), and can therefore look up the action method
  _expression_ that will be invoked.  You can also get to the FacesContext for  the current request to examine any other state you need.* If you decide to allow this invocation, just delegate to the processAction()
  method of the default implementation.  If you want to block it, do something  else (details here depending on what you want to have happen).If you decide to try this sort of thing, I'd be very interested in how it works out.  One of the RFEs on our plate for Shale is to add support for a general purpose version of this kind of interceptor, and allow you to specify the processing to perform (before and after the actual action method invocation) with something like Commons Chain or XWork interceptors).  Further discussion of that should take place on the Struts dev list, and/or by making comments on the JIRA issue for it[1].

Re: [newbie] - simple custom tag problems

[JSFSter Smith]

Hi Volker,

Thanks for your response!

I attempted the forcing of the ValueBinding in the setProperties()
since setting value of the tag attribute was not passed on to the
Component Class.

In a case like this:  (or)  value="#{datapanel.description}">
where description is a String, the contents of the 'value' attribute in
the setProperty method of the Tag class are picked up ok. 

But in the case when the the  Bean member is not a string (like in
the dataTable case), the contents of the value attribute in 
setProperty() are : #{datapanel.description}. In this case, the
getValue() in my Custom Component class is null and the EL does not
seem to be processed.

My setProperties() method :
    protected void setProperties(UIComponent component) 
    {
        FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        super.setProperties(component);
        
        if(value != null)
        {
            if (isValueReference(value))
         {
       
    ValueBinding vb =
context.getApplication().createValueBinding(value);
            component.setValueBinding("value", vb);
          }
          else 
           
     
((UICustomHTMLOutput)component).setValue(value);
        }
    }


And my state and encode methods from the UICustomHTMLOutput:
    @Override
    public Object saveState(FacesContext context) 
    {
    Object values[] = new Object[2];
    values[0] = super.saveState(context);
    values[1] = value;
    return ((Object) (values));
    }

    @Override
    public void restoreState(FacesContext context, Object state) 
    {
    Object values[] = (Object[])state;
    super.restoreState(context, values[0]);
    value = (String)values[1];
    }
  
    // component render
    public void encodeBegin(FacesContext context) throws IOException 
    {

        ResponseWriter writer = context.getResponseWriter();
        
        writer.startElement("p", this);
            writer.write(value);
            writer.endElement("p");

Re: which method will be invoked in the invoke application phase.

[vace117]

I haven't done anything like that myself, but you could try the following.
Let me know if it works for you.

1) Register your own ActionListener with  in your
jsf-config. 
2) In the listener you will have access to the ActionEvent, which will give
you access to the event source UICommand component
3) UICommand implements ActionSource, so you can find out what method will
be called by calling getAction() on it to get your MethodBinding. 
4) Check if the user is allowed to run this method. If not, throw an
AbortProcessingException

The 1st step is the part I never tried. If it doesn't work, you can always
provide your own default ActionListener by setting it with
application.setActionListener(). If you have to do that, either subclass
ActionListenerImpl or copy most of the code from it and add your security
code.

I am curious whether this works or not, so please post the results if you
try it.

(which is by the way a major security whole). Therefore I'm looking for an 
alternative component for menus.


Another possibility is to implement a menu myself. I'd like to render the tree 
of navigation items into something like:


initMenu("menu");

  
 Menu 1
 
Menu 2

  Submenu 2.1
  Submenu 2.2

6 which are links to two songs. This is evident because the attribute
SONG_ID contains an entry.
Again, the returned outcome is "menupage" so the pane is populated with
"Song1" and "Song2".
If the user clicks on "Song1", userClick() receives the parameter "5" and
notices that this item links to a Song with the ID 1.
So instead of returning the outcome "menupage" again, it returns "songpage"
and passes the parameter "1" to that page which then looks up the metadata
of the song with the ID "1" in the database and displays the content.
But how do I propagate that parameter "1" to the songpage or its backing
bean?
Can I even make the backing bean do a database call BEFORE the songpage is
rendered? Because when the user clicks on "Song1" I want to invoke a method
which requests the associated data from the database and displays it on the
"songpage".

Is this even the way to go?
Or how should I tackle this problem?
How do I do that?

Thanks so much!

t:outputLabel for attribute and forceId="true"

[Locke, Richard]

Hi All,

I am creating a simple form using label tags to help with accessibility.
I want to force the ids not to have the form prefixed so I can do more
client-side coding (CSS, DOM, JavaScript etc).

Here is a simple code fragment.
  
  

When this code fragment is rendered to a browser, I get the following
HTML result:
  Label Text
  

That's all fine except that the label's for attribute has the 'form:'
prefix. Why? I would not think that  tag would know
anything about the rest of the page.

If I swap the lines around like so:
  
  

I get the following HTML result:
  
  Label Text

That is how I want to label's for attribute to look like. Does anyone
know how I can get this result if the label is defined before the input
tag when forceId="true"?


Thanks in advance.

Redeploying myfaces applications in Tomcat 5.0.28

[Jack Lin]

Hi,

Whenever I try to redeploy a myfaces application in Tomcat 5.0.28, I always get 
the following error:

 INFO [ContainerBackgroundProcessor[StandardEngine[Catalina]]] 
(StandardHostDeployer.java:197) - Installing web application at context path 
/sandbox from URL file:C:/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/webapps/sandbox
 INFO [ContainerBackgroundProcessor[StandardEngine[Catalina]]] 
(ContextConfig.java:238) - Missing application web.xml, using defaults only 
StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/sandbox]

(StandardContext.java:4344) - Error listenerStart
ERROR [ContainerBackgroundProcessor[StandardEngine[Catalina]]] 
(StandardContext.java:4369) - Context startup failed due to previous errors

To solve the problem, I always have to shutdown Tomcat, remove the application 
from C:/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/webapps, restart Tomcat, and deploy the 
application.
This is probably just a configuration issue that I am not familiar with.  Can 
you help?

I am using myfaces 1.1.1, tomahawk 1.1.1, and Tomcat 5.0.28.

Thank you

[newbie] Beginners questions regarding dynamic links

[Scrut Inizer]

After working through some tutorials and documentations I ran into some 
beginners questions while writing my own, little JSF application.
I would really appreciate it if you could take some time to give me some 
hints because I am really lost. Reading the following text will probably 
take the longest as I am sure you all know the answers to my newbie 
questions off by heart. Here we go:


1. How do I create a tabbed pane and fill the tabs and the active pane with 
dynamic links?

3. How do I associate a different parameter to each of those links?
3. How do I pass that parameter on to the Backing Bean method that is called 
after clicking on a link?

4. How do I pass such a parameter to a method in a different Backing Bean?
5. Which component is most suitable for such a tabbed pane?

Thank you so much!

Here is what I want to do:

I have a collection of music pieces and the associated metadata for each 
piece is stored in one database table. In a second table I have multiple 
classifications such as


Genre
 Classical
 Jazz
   Acid Jazz
   Latin Jazz
 Rock

Region
 Africa
 America
   South America
   North America
 Europe
 Asia
 Australia

Something like that. Each music piece is associated with each classification 
tree. (Each music piece belongs to a Genre and comes from a different 
region…)
Now I want a user to be able to find a list of music pieces by navigating 
through any of those classification systems.
I want something like a tabbed pane where the tabs are filled with the roots 
of those classification trees (in this example there are two tabs: Genre and 
Region)
Let’s assume the active tab is Genre. Then the content of the associated 
pane is to be the list of the first level descendants of the root. (In this 
example: Classical, Jazz, Rock)
Each item is to be a link so that when the user clicks on “Jazz”, the pane 
will be populated with “Acid Jazz” and “Latin Jazz”.


But how do I do that?
1. What components (JSF Core, MyFaces, Tomahawk, Tobago, Sun UI…) should I 
use?
2. How do I create the tabs dynamically? I mean: all examples I have seen so 
far assume that one knows the number and names of the tabs – and hard-codes 
each of them. But how do I do that dynamically? (If there is only 2 trees in 
the database there will be only 2 tabs but if there are suddenly 3 trees 
there will be 3 tabs and so on)
3. How do I create a dynamic list of links where each link carries a 
different parameter (e.g. a unique ID)?
4. How do I pass that parameter on to the Backing Bean method that is 
invoked by clicking on the link?


Is that even the way to do this?
My idea was: Let’s assume, “Jazz” has primary key “2” in the database and 
“Acid Jazz” has “3” and “Latin Jazz” has “4” and the database knows that 3 
and 4 are children of 2 because each child holds its parent ID:


ITEM_ID NAMEPARENT_ID   SONG_ID
2   Jazz--  --
3   Acid Jazz   2   --
4   Latin Jazz  2   --
5   Song1   4   1
6   Song2   4   2

Now the user clicks on “Jazz” which calls the method “userClick()” within 
the associated Backing Bean. Somehow that link carried the parameter “2” 
which is now used by userClick() to ask the database “give me all children 
of ‘2’”. The database will return a list with the two items “Acid Jazz” and 
“Latin Jazz”. So the method fills those two items into the managed 
properties of the Backing Bean and returns the outcome “menupage” which is 
defined in faces-config.xml to call the menupage.jsp (menupage calls 
menupage), thereby filling the active pane with those two items “Acid Jazz” 
and “Latin Jazz”.


Now let’s assume that the user clicks on “Latin Jazz” so userClick() asks 
the database “give me all children of 4”. The resultset returns items 5 and 
6 which are links to two songs. This is evident because the attribute 
SONG_ID contains an entry.
Again, the returned outcome is “menupage” so the pane is populated with 
“Song1” and “Song2”.
If the user clicks on “Song1”, userClick() receives the parameter “5” and 
notices that this item links to a Song with the ID 1.
So instead of returning the outcome “menupage” again, it returns “songpage” 
and passes the parameter “1” to that page which then looks up the metadata 
of the song with the ID “1” in the database and displays the content.
But how do I propagate that parameter “1” to the songpage or its backing 
bean?
Can I even make the backing bean do a database call BEFORE the songpage is 
rendered? Because when the user clicks on “Song1” I want to invoke a method 
which requests the associated data from the database and displays it on the 
“songpage”.


Is this even the way to go?
Or how should I tackle this problem?
How do I do that?

Thanks so much!

RE: linkDummyForm not rendering on every page

[Michael Heinen]

Thanks Jonathan.

Yes, my ExtensionFilter is mapped to /faces/*
The link works well when I use a redirect instead of a forward in my
welcome page. 
I am just wondering because this differs from the behaviour in the
previous myFaces version.

I posted about this yesterday under a different topic. As far as I
can see, in 1.1.3 the linkDummyForm javascript is now added by the
Tomahawk ExtensionsFilter for some strange reason.

It sounds as though you're using ExtensionsFilter, but it's not being
applied to your welcome page (is it only mapped to /faces/* ?). You
could either change the filter mapping, or substitute a browser
redirect for your server-side forward, i.e. instead of jsp:forward use

<% response.sendRedirect("/faces/launch.jsp"); %>

This would go back to the browser and tell it to send another request
for your faces JSP page, which would then be processed by the filter.

My welcome page index.jsp forwards the request to a faces page:

The link was working well with MyFaces 1.1.1

Now the link is only working when I enter the URL /faces/launch.jsp directly.

Is this working correctly? 


Do I have to define a second form around the link now?

If the browser is showing www.site.com/  or www.site.com/admin/

With www.site.com/page.jsf , the link dummy form will render and the

work fine.
