JSCookMenu

[James Reynolds]

I'm enjoying some success and experiencing some frustration with the
JSCookMenu v.1.1.2.  I have it working great in one section of my site,
but having some problems in another.

In the problem area, I had created a CSS/JavaScript menu with command
links, but the JavaScript IE fix to trigger mouseover actions isn't 100%
reliable.  Therefore, I want to replace it with the JSCookMenu, but two
problems are preventing me from doing so.

1. When the site first loads, the menu is not rendered and I get a
javascript error stating that CM_Panel is not defined.

2. When a user logs in, the menu does loads fine and the javascript
error dissapears.  However, the menu entries do not work.  The page
submits but reloads the same view.  The menu is part of a header file
that also includes a 'login' section which may be part of the problem.
Each unsecured page has the username and password fields in the header,
waiting for the user to log in.  When the menu is clicked, the
validation on these fields is NOT triggered, but the navigation is not
engaged.

For those of you using this component, what are some of the pitfalls to
avoid?  Do these issues sound familiar?

Thank you

RE: is there a way to pull a session scope variable directly into a jsf tag?

[James Reynolds]

There are some implicit variables to simplify accessesing objects in
session or application scope...

#{sessionScope.foo.bar}

Or

#{applicationScope.foo.bar}

I haven't tried this for navigation as you've described, but it works
great for tying object properties to controls.

RE: is there a way to pull a session scope variable directly into a jsf tag?

[James Reynolds]

I found out about these implicit variables from reading Kito Mann's
excellent JavaServer Faces in Action.  There are others:

#{cookie.myCookie}
#{facesContext}
#{header['User-Agent']}
#{headerValues['Accept-Encoding'][3]}
#{initParam.adminEmail}
#{param.foo}
#{paramValues.foo[2]}
#{requestScope.foo.bar}

Thank you James and Julian.  Your help is greatly appreciated.

Putting all session scoped variables in one place makes sense, but at
this time we have a bunch of code that treats this one value as a
separate attribute.

for the time being I'll use the syntax from James and going forward will
just use a bean.

I must not be reading the right docs because I couldn't find a reference
to sessionScope.

If you have time, could you mention any docs that have helped you?

Thanks again for your help.

Subject: [newbie]: click on commandButton does nothing. Why?

I am sure this is a super simple newbie problem, but would you mind
helping me? Thanks so much!

I wanted to start playing with MyFaces and JSF by building a tiny
application:
index.jsp simply forwards to menu.faces (which is the file menu.jsp) In
menu.jsp there is one little button leading to details.jsp In
details.jsp there are two buttons: one leading back to menu.jsp and one
leading to content.jsp content.jsp has a button to menu.jsp.

I can deploy everything in Tomcat 5.5 and call each page individually by
using the .faces suffix instead of their real file name suffix .jsp.

But here is the thing: when I click on any of those buttons, nothing
happens. Absolutely nothing. I have added a System.out... statement in
the method that is supposed to be called but that is not called either.

Do you have any idea what I did wrong?

t:collapsiblePanel and View History

I'm using a collapsible panel on page and I noticed that if I open and
close it several times, pressing the back button of the browser cycles
through the history of views, opening and closing the panel.  This makes

RE: MyFaces and NetBeans 5.0

[James Reynolds]

I've used NetBeans for myFaces JSF apps without a problem.  I set it up
as a normal web application - not as a JSF app.  I believe the wizard is
designed to set up a Sun RI application by default, so you'll need to
add the myFaces libraries (with dependencies) and set up the config
files manually.  Once you've done that, you can still use things like
the managed-bean and navigation wizards.

[OT] Rotating Images via JSF or AJAX

Oops, I shouldn't have written 'rotation.'  I simply mean changing the

Nothing is there as component yet, however it is doable, if you are
willing to write it yourself.
You have everything basically in place.
All you need is java2d for rotation and something which pulls the images
from a server.


You even can do that without jsf just by using a servlet for doing the
work and then setting parametrized img tags onto that servlet.

I'm trying to use Shale's ViewController in a managed bean to execute

It all seems really simple but I can't get it to work. None of my
ViewController methods are ever called (init(), prerender(), etc...).
I've added  mapped the shale filter in my web.xml, added the chain
listener to my web.xml, added all the dependant jars, and added a dummy
chain-config and dialog-config to META-INF.
My managed bean has the same name as my jsp (the jsp begins with a lower
case letter and the bean an upper case letter but changing that had no
effect).

What else can I do? I don't know if my problem is related to MyFaces or
to Shale.

Absolutely.  You could hard code a file path from inside a backing bean

Here's some quick code I stole from one of my servlets that reads a file
from anywhere (just define your own filename) and sends it to the
response: 

ServletContext sc = getServletContext(); 
String filename = sc.getRealPath(/images/bcg.gif); 

// Get the MIME type of the image 
String mimeType = sc.getMimeType(filename); 
if (mimeType == null) { 
mimeType = text/plain; 
} 

// Set content type 
response.setContentType(mimeType); 

// Set content size 
File file = new File(filename); 
response.setContentLength((int) file.length()); 

//Set headers 
response.setHeader(Content-disposition, attachment; filename= +
filename); 
response.setHeader(Cache-Control, max-age=600); 

// Open the file and output streams

 Subject
 [OT] Storing files outside of the web context







 I have a jsf app that includes many .pdf files of contracts.  I've 
 just been putting them all in the war before deploying to the 
 production server.  There must be a better way to do this.  Is it 
 possible to store these files elsewhere on the web server, outside of 
 the context, and still be able to link to them?

 Thanks

graphicImage, FireFox and Samba [ot?]

[James Reynolds]

I have a graphicImage image component that pulls its image from a Samba
directory.  It works great in IE, but shows up as a broken image in
FireFox.

If I view the image properties in IE, I see that the source has
file:/// prepended to it:
file:///W:/asiweb1-npp/logos/members/loc_logo.gif

Under FireFox, the source is:
w:/asiweb1-npp/logos/members/loc_logo.gif

I tried putting file:/// ahead of the path in my code.  It still
worked under IE but not with FireFox.  What is the proper way to do
this?

Thanks

RE: Apache MyFaces JSF error

[James Reynolds]

I would certainly update to JSF 1.1.01.  There are many bug fixes over
the first release.

Subject: Apache MyFaces JSF error



Hello

 

Whilst developing using Apache MyFaces I have come across a problem
which I am trying to troubleshoot. I have had not had any luck at
resolving this issue. I will attempt to describe this:

 

I am developing using JSF version 1.1 and the application server I am
using to deploy to is BEA WebLogic 9.1 

 

I have a situation where some of my JSF pages occasionally misbehave.
For example, sometimes when I click a h:commandButton/ (which is
located within a h:form tag) the action which the button is wired to
is not executed. 

 

Please note that this glitch happens intermittently with no fixed
pattern. It is also interesting to note that the data which the user has
entered (prior to clicking the button) on the JSF page is also lost and
has to be re-entered again by the user.

 

Functionally, this is only a minor problem however from a usability
perspective this is a major problem.

 

I have searched SUN's Java forums and found a useful site at
http://www.jsf-faq.com/faqs/faces-navigation.html#111. Having followed
all the suggestions prescribed on this site, I find that I am still
having the same problem.

 

I have tried setting the javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD to client.

 

Should I update to the next JSF version which is 1.1.01?

 

Have you experienced a problem such as this in your team? Do you know if
this is a known JSF bug? 

 

Can you please suggest any appropriate actions to remedy this problem? I
would gladly welcome any input from you.

 

Thanking you in advance,

inputText inputSecret Sizes vary

[James Reynolds]

I have an inputText and an InputSecret component that are set to the
same size.  However, I've noticed that in IE, their sizes vary.
Sometimes the inputText is bigger and sometimes it's the other way
around.  Any idea why this happens?

RE: Style for row in datatable

[James Reynolds]

I have been interested in this as well.  One suggestion that has been
offered in the past is to bind the dataTable row styles to a bean value.
The bean value would be a comma delimited string of class names, one for
each row.  Obviously, you would need to build that list dynamically
based on some aspect of your data.  I haven't tried it yet so I can't
provide any feedback on its success, but maybe the idea will help you.

Hi, 

Is it possible to apply a style to a row in a datatable dynamically? For
example, I might have a datatable showing a list of numbers and I would
want the rows containing negative numbers to be red and the positive
numbers to be blue. I want to apply the style to the entire row (tr)
not just the contents. 

I believe this cannot be achieved using the rowClasses attribute of the
datatable. 

Is there any way of achieving this?

You are only allowed to have one suffix with the default JSF
implementation.

 context-param
param-namejavax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX/param-name
param-value.jsp/param-value
/context-param

or

 context-param
param-namejavax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX/param-name
param-value.jspx/param-value
/context-param

You could create your own view handler that does this.  Facelets
delegates non-facelets file extensions back to the default viewhandler
so that it can support both .xhtml and .jspx (for example).

It'd seem like it'd be fairly simple to extend the default viewhandler
functionality to try two suffixes instead of one.

There's been interest (for this very reason) expressed by others in
the last week for the same functionality.   Search through the past
week's myafces-users list for DEFAULT_SUFFIX to find the threads.

RE: Style for row in datatable

[James Reynolds]

So you have a column in your data that determines the row style based on
the conditional statement in your rowStyleClass (pretty cool, I didn't
know you could code an if statement that way).

Is it also possible to evaluate the value of a numeric field?  Such as:
...
rowStyleClass=#{myRow.totalRevenue gt 0 ?
'BlackFontStyle':'RedFontStyle'}
...

Yes, it's EL so you can use any valid expression.
Also, you can test any property in your row object it doesn't have to be

What is the correct jspx Doctype Declaration?

I'm in the process of converting my jsp files to jspx.  If I don't
include a DocType declaration, I get an error like:


*The XML page cannot be displayed 
*Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error
and then click the Refresh button, or *try again later.

*jsp:output
*![CDATA[!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN
*http://www.w3c.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd;]]
*/jsp:output


But then I get a different error (listed below) from the index page that
forwards to my first jsf page.  Am I just using the wrong doctype, or am
I missing a key requirement for jspx?

Thanks

RE: how to set ROWS attribute in t:dataTable using Resource Bundle ?

[James Reynolds]

I haven't tried what you're proposing, but I've accomplished the same
thing through the backing bean using prepared statements like thus:

PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
ps.setMaxRows(2);

If you must store the value in a properties file.  Maybe you could
replace the digit above with a variable reference to your properties
key.

Hi,

I want to limit the No. of Rows that can be displayed in the table by
using the Value from the Resource Bundle (something like below ):

#JSP page
t:dataTable rows=#{bundle.MaxRecordsDisplayed_PerPage} 

# Resource bundle File
MaxRecordsDisplayed_PerPage=20

But I am getting a ClassCastException in doing this. I was under the
impression the Expression language does the casting implicitly. ROWS
attribute needs an Integer value but since the value being retrieved
from Bundle is as a String, its causing this Exception :

Is there any other way other than using a getter from the Backing Bean ?

You might take a look at this feature.  It was added yesterday so you'll
have to grab the source from svn and build myfaces yourself (which is

 Conversion to a datatable would be simple enough, except I can't

Well, the only other thing I can think of is to use nested t:dataList
elements and output your own html tags as you iterate over your data.

Trouble with Sorting DataTable

[James Reynolds]

Hello all,

I'm attempting to create a sortable dataTable based 
on the simpleCarList example in the source code. The dataTable builds correctly, 
but it just won't sort for me. I've read through the similar posts on the 
mailing list, but I can't see anything significantly different from what I'm 
doing (other than property names). One curious thing is that the sorting 
arrow (of the commandSortHeader) only show up in my first column. I hope 
one of the many accomplished programmers on this list can point out what I'm 
missing. Here's my code so far:

Problems Upgrading to Nightly

RE: how do I prevent nervous users starting actions more thanonce???

[James Reynolds]

Thanks Simon,

It is possible to change the style of a cursor using css
(http://www.quirksmode.org/css/cursor.html).  I bet you're right, the
onload probably will reset the style.  I should have produced a test
case but my thinking was stuck 'on the server side.'

I was surprised to see that the cursor does not change after clicking a
the command button in MSIE.  The status bar indicates that the page is
loading, but not the cursor.

Have a great day!

No, Phase listeners are server-side concepts. The user's browser doesn't
know about them, it just gets served the final generated page.

Is there an option to change the cursor for an HTML page? If so, then
possibly a form's onsubmit script could set that. Presumably as soon as
the page has reloaded the cursor would be reset. But isn't that done
already by most browsers?

Or are you talking about AJAX operations?

around?

Thanks

inputDate seems to be Caching a value

[James Reynolds]

Hello 
all,

I'm 
using the inputdate component in a panelgrid and it appears to be caching the 
first value to which it's assigned. I searched the mail archives and found 
one note from Colin Chambers describing the same issue. He indicated that 
it was due to including the component in a panelgrid, but I couldn't find any 
follow up messages. Has anyone else dealt with this?

Apossible contributing factoris the panelgrid that contains 
the component is not rendered by default. If my user selects a record in a 
separate datatable (to edit the date of the record), the panelgrid is rendered 
with the next page reload and is designed to mimic a "pop up" using css 
positioning and styling.

Thanks 
for your time!

RE: z-order of drop down lists and t:inputCalendar

[James Reynolds]

That's correct, the drop down list is rendered in part by the operating
system and not just the browser.  I found this out when implementing a
'pop up' using css.  The month dropdown list was at the top level, much
to my chagrin.  I dealt with it using the calendar's rendered attribute.
In my page, when a pseudo pop up is present, I mimic a 'modal' situation
by setting the base page component's disabled attribute to true.  I used
the same property to control the inputDate's rendered property.

I don't know if your situation is similar, but I hope this is helpful.

For those of you using t:calendar, you may notice that it hides all drop
down lists on the page whenever the calendar pops up.  I was wondering
if anyone can shed some light on why this happens.  The last time I had
this conversation with a colleague, I remeber him telling me that with
some operating systems, the drop down list control get it's own window
and you simply cannot display another control on top by manipulating the
z order.  Apparently this goes back to the early 90's .  Can't find
anything on Google either.

Strategies for Reports

[James Reynolds]

Hello 
all,

I'd like to ask the 
group how you create grouped reports. Before JSF, I was using while 
statements inside of scriplets to create grouped reports that iterated 
repeatedly over ResultSets to create something like this:


  Level 
  1
  
Level 
1_1
Level 
1_2
  Level 
  2
  
Level 
2_1
and so 
on
I'd like to 
accomplish the same thing and I'm wondering if tree tables or other tags can be 
utilized for this purpose. I'd surely appreciate any advice you have on 
the subject.

Oh! That's a good idea.  However, that presents another problem for my

Edit and Delete.  The Edit navigates to a detail page, while the
delete would obviously remove the record and reload the page.  I also
have an Add Conference button outside of the table.  Using the
onSubmit attribute would prompt for confirmation no matter what control
is activated.  Perhaps I should just use commandButtons instead of
commandLinks and avoid the issue altogether.

h:form onSubmit=return confirm('text'); .. should work

 This sounds like an error in your javascript.
 Perhaps you should try

RE: Bewildered by JSCookMenu

[James Reynolds]

You're right, saying the app 'quit' does not convey much meaningful
information.  I've had my coffee this morning so I should be a little
better.

To begin, I have a jsf web project that works fine.  However, when I add
the following to my web.xml and redeploy the project, it's as if the
request never makes it to the servlet.  When I type (using your example)
http://localhost/test/index.jsf, or
http://localhost/test/faces/index.jsp or
http://localhost/test/faces/index.jsf, nothing happens on the server
side and no logs are generated.  However, if I type
http://localhost/test/index.jsp, the server throws the following
exception and stack trace.

At this point, I'm starting realize that this problem has less to do
with myFaces and is probably due to my relative inexperience with JSF in
general.

Thanks for your help and suggestions so far!

Even when your template files are .jsp files, the browser needs to
request them as .jsf pages.

eg you have page foo.jsp in a webapp named test. You point the
browser to http://localhost/test/foo.jsf;. Note the jsf at the end of
the URL.

Without that, the faces servlet never gets run and nothing will work at
all.

I have no idea what you mean by my app quits. If you're using Apache
Tomcat or JBoss or something and the application actually *terminates*
then that is a major major major bug in that servlet engine [extremely
unlikely]. Or you've got a broken java installation or something.

 
 Another thought I had is if the problem is with my jsf libraries.  I'm
 using the jsf-api.jar and the jsf-impl.jar.  Am I required to use the
 myfaces implementations to make it work?

You mean you're using the Sun reference implementation and trying to run

the tomahawk libraries on that? According to the tomahawk page on the 
myfaces website, tomahawk is 100% supported on sun's RI for JSF 1.1. 
Just check you're not running the beta of the Sun JSF 1.2

Bewildered by JSCookMenu

[James Reynolds]

I would love to use the JSCookMenu, but I'm apparently too dumb to make
it work.  I started out with these steps:

1. Grabbed the latest nightly build.
2. Set up a menu file with the component using a standard theme.
3. Included the menu file in my page via jsp:include.

The page loads fine, but the menu is not visible.  Viewing the page
source reveals the JavaScript, but the browser throws a cmDraw is not
defined error.

After browsing the archives, I found mentions of the filter and
filter-mapping entries for an Extensions Filter in my web.xml, so I
copied those portions verbatim from the simple.war web app.

When I run the app, I get a page not found error.  The only thing I've
noticed out of the ordinary in the console output is FINE: Found no URL
patterns mapping to FacesServlet

I'm wondering if the filter mapping of: /faces/* is conflicting with my
servlet mapping of the same.

Has anyone beaten their head on this wall before?

Thanks,

JR

RE: Cookmenu Problem

Oh! Maybe I'm not an idiot after all and this is the reason I can't get it to

war?  At any rate, do you happen to know the build number of the last known 
working candidate?

You better get back to old version.
The last night builds has a lot off bugs.
The jsCook menu is not working because the place of java script resources was

 I have two applications in that situation.
Check the location off java script files rendered in your html.

You might find this link useful:
   http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk/extensionsFilter.html

What you want is for a request to come into the servlet engine, go
through the Extensions Filter (which sets up a fake response object),
then go to the faces servlet. When the jsp page gets processed the
jscookMenu tag stores some requests to generate script tags into
page-scope fields in the servlet-request. When the faces servlet
finishes the Extensions Filter post-processes the response by inserting
the requested script tags into the response just before the /head tag.

So what you see is exactly what would be expected if you hadn't set up
the servlet or filter mappings correctly.

Note that filters and servlets can happily be mapped to the same URL
patterns (in fact, that's the whole point).

I hope this helps.

Simon

RE: Uh oh, upgrading to 1.1 broke my app

[James Reynolds]

No, I don't have one by that name.  Oddly enough, if I remove the
myfaces jars, the app launches fine (obviously, I don't have any myfaces
components on the opening page).  Of course, pages that use the myfaces
components don't work.  Do I need to completely replace my sun
components with myFaces components?

Navigation Panel Question

[James Reynolds]

Hello 
all,

I just noticed a 
problem with my navigation panel. I have a top level "home" link that 
takes the user to the index page. If I use the component to browse to a 
link in a lower directory, then click the home link, the page renders without 
any style information. It's as if the style sheet fails to load. If 
I click it again, everything reverts to normal and life is good again. Has 
anyone else encountered this?

Thanks!

Could be to do with your browser trying to load your link'ed css
resource from a location that is relative to the page's location in your
web-app.  That's why it works at the top level and not at any lower
level.

As a test, trying including a base tag in your htmlhead section in
the lower-level page.

Although it's probably not what you want to do in the long run, you
could try pasting in something like this:

base href=%=request.getScheme() + :// + request.getLocalName() +
: + request.getLocalPort() + request.getContextPath() + /test.htm
%

If it starts working, at least you know the problem :)

t:panelNavigation t:JSCookMenu questions

[James Reynolds]

Hello 
all,

I'm new to myfaces 
and a greenhorn with jsf. I'm wondering if the panelNavigation and 
JSCookMenu components support dynamic population. For example, I have 
leaned to dynamically populate a selectOneListbox by binding it to a 
SelectItem[] array. Has anyone done this?

On a related note, I 
copied and pasted the navigation.jsp and related code from the myfaces-example 
war and put them in a practice project (to experiment with the 
t:panelNavigation). Everything works great, except that the CSS border 
around the panelNavigation component doesn't render properly in firefox. 
It's completely off the actual component, but it looks fine in ie. I find 
this is odd because there are no such problems when I use firefox to view 
theun-altered myfaces-examples web app. Is there some CSS gotcha 
that I'm missing.

Thanks for your 
advice,

JR
