Webcenter Menu: invalidate cache

We where getting an exception when executing some code that worked on PS3 on PS5. (We are reconstructing our menu based on user roles and we can masquerade as another user on click of a button)

The stack trace of the error included:



<SiteStructureResource><getChildren>
javax.naming.NamingException [Root exception is java.lang.NullPointerException]

  public void refreshMenu() {



        SiteStructure model = SiteStructureContext.getInstance().getCurrentModel();

        model.invalidateCache();

        if (this.getLeftMenu() != null)

            AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(this.getLeftMenu());

  }





This may not be the best solution but it is a good workaround for what I think is a bug in PS5.











public void refreshMenu() {

        SiteStructure model = SiteStructureContext.getInstance().getCurrentModel();

        model.invalidateCache();

    redirectCurrentPage();

}













public static void redirectCurrentPage() {



  FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

  ExternalContext ectx = fctx.getExternalContext();



  ControllerContext controllerCtx = null;

  controllerCtx = ControllerContext.getInstance();

  String activityURL =   controllerCtx.getGlobalViewActivityURL(fctx.getViewRoot().getViewId());



  try{

    ectx.redirect(activityURL);

  } catch (IOException e) {

    //Can't redirect

    e.printStackTrace();



  }

}

    Hi Donovan,

    Did you get the root cause of this exception? we are facing the same issue in our code.

    Thanks,

      Yes and no I stopped inside the web center code and left it because of the work around. From what I could see it is a timing issue the invalidated cache is accessed in the adf life cycle before being regenerated.

MANIFEST.MF merge JDeveloper for an executable jar




























Goto your project > properties. Then click on deployment in the menu.  Edit or add a jar deployment profile.  Fill in the details under jar options  (select Include manifest and give it a main class name)              Also remember that the merge functionality only works with a BLANK line at the end of the merge file. REALLY this caught me.     My merge file contents:       Class-Path: commons-codec-1.3.jar     [...empty line here CRLF...]

ADF: LOV Description instead of code




























I keep on forgetting how to do this so this is a note to self in terms I understand (ie pictures):   Add the related entiy object to yours (in the example we are adding RegionEO(list of values) to CountryEO)     Now add the RegionName field from the EO and a transient attribute (I named mine RegionNameLOV)     Make the transient attribute updateable and base it on the expression RegionName (the description you wish to display)      Add a list of values to RegionNameLOV and map BOTH key to parent fk (region id here) AND RegionName to your transient coulmn (RegionNameLOV).      Map the transient as an Input text with List of Values.        Then just drag the lov item onto the page (RegionNameLOV)
