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();

  }
}

  1. Hi Donovan,

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

    Thanks,

    1. 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.

ADF Encountered deferred syntax #{ in template text.

OracleJSP error: oracle.jsp.parse.JspParseException:  Error: Encountered deferred syntax #{ in template text.  If intended as a literal, escape it or set directive  deferredSyntaxAllowedAsLiteral This normally happens when you have some tag lib dependancy problems but this was  not the case for me... My problem: For some reason my model project had web stuff in it(public html etc)  so I had to remove the public html stuff from my project and manually edit the Model.jpr project file and remove the tag lib entries at the bottom o the file. Go figure.    

JBO-25013: TooManyObjectsException

oracle.jbo.TooManyObjectsException: JBO-25013: Too many objects match the primary key oracle.jbo.Key[Key null ]. Ok so for you it may be trying to insert a duplicate record this should explain your problem (also check trigger they could be the cause.) NOTE: You can also try to create a new duplicate EO if you have a page with two VO's using the same EO. This could sort your problems. For me I needed to add a launch listener on my LOV and clear the cache of my vo. LOV <af:inputListOfValues id="NameId" popupTitle="#{bindings.Name.hints.label}" value="#{bindings.RolName1.inputValue}" label="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.label}" model="#{bindings.RolName1.listOfValuesModel}" required="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.mandatory}" columns="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.displayWidth}" shortDesc="#{bindings.RolName1.hints.tooltip}" launchPopupListener="#{backingBeanScope.backingBean.launchPop

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...]
