Convert string to jbo date

Make sure the format of the date is set as per your requirement. 

                  formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d hh:mm:ss z yyyy");
                  date = formatter.parse(aDate);
                  java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(date.getTime());
                  oracle.jbo.domain.Date jboDate = new oracle.jbo.domain.Date(sqlDate);

If you want the date to be locale specific, use the following

                 formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(pattern, currentLocale); 

Here are some customized Date and Time formats (from Oracle Site)

To Find Dirty data (uncommitted) in ADF task flow

ControllerContext cctx = ControllerContext.getInstance();
cctx.getCurrentViewPort().getTaskFlowContext().is DataDirty();

or

cctx.getCurrentViewPort().isDataDirty();

or

ViewPortContext.isDataDirty();

OAF - Pass parameters between pages and session

OAPageContext (called from UI client)
putSessionValue( )
removeSessionValue( )
getSessionValue( )

OAPageContext (called from UI client for encryption)
PutEncryptedParameter( )
GetDecryptedParameter( )

OAPageContext (called from UI client)
putTransactionValue( )
getTransactionValue( )
removeTransactionValue( )

OADBTransaction (called from server)
putValue( )
getValue( )
removeValue( )

Format negative numbers with bracket in ADF screens.

In Financials, it is important that negative numbers are displayed/formatted within brackets or braces.

Challenge comes in when the the column or UI attribute holds both positive and negative number.

Solution : On the UI Attribute, place with pattern as "#,##,###.00;(##,##,###.00)"
Or
If the UI is based on a VO, edit the attribute properties and specify the below details as part of the Control Hints. without the double quotes formattype as "Number" and format as "#,##,###.00;(##,##,###.00)"

The key here is semi-colon(;) seperating the value of the format, ADF internally recognizes that the second format value is for negative number.

Reference scope variable in VO as bind parameter

Reference scope variable in VO as bind parameter.

Note: Accessing scope variable in VO is violation of MVC but can be performed using below groovy experssion.

adf.context.expressionEvaluator.evaluate('#{pageFlowScope.empNo}')

get ADF Logger root directory at runtime

ADFLogger logger;

logger = ADFLogger.createADFLogger(MyClass.class);

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
           
MBeanServer server = (MBeanServer)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jmx/runtime");
        
ObjectName service =new ObjectName("com.bea:Name=RuntimeService,Type=weblogic.management.mbeanservers.
runtime.RuntimeServiceMBean");

ObjectName domain =(ObjectName)server.getAttribute(service, "DomainConfiguration");

rootDir = (String)server.getAttribute(domain, "RootDirectory");

logger.info("Root Dir : " + rootDir);

Add/Remove row from a table and subsequently Refresh a table

Add/Remove row from a table and subsequently Refresh a table.

The button ID is referenced in the table's "partialTrigger" property so that clicking the button initiates a table refresh

BindingContainer bindings = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("Commit");
Object result = operationBinding.execute();
if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
//handle errors if any //... return;
}
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget( this.getDepartmentsTable());

----------------------------------
1. Creating a binding for the table on which you want to delete the row. Binding creates setter method setMyTable(RichTable table) and getter method like getMyTable() returning RichTable.

2. On a button click or on any other action delete the table row as below.

DCIteratorBinding dciter = (DCIteratorBinding) bindings.get("MyVOIterator");
Row currentRow = dciter.getCurrentRow();
dciter.removeCurrentRow();
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget( this.getMyTable());

JDeveloper closes abruptly on trying to open

Sometimes its frustrating to see Jdev closing immediately on opening. We try restarting the machine, re-installing jdev...and nothing seems to be working.

 

This is a sign that something got corrupted on Jdeveloper.

 

Best way to get over this issue is to restore it back to the original setting (Ofcourse you loose all your settings, preferences, svn connection, DB settings, external tools, etc ..).

 

The way you do this is by removing system11.1.1.* folder under jdeveloper. Yes, not the best soution, but better than re-installing jdeveloper.

On restarting JDeveloper, it creates a new system11.1.1* directory.
