DVT stuff

I am currently playing around with some of the gauge, graph and data visualization components in ADF.

At the moment it is all going well provided I drag the ADF BC components on the screen, the custom stuff takes a bit of work.

Here is a silly example to show the number of days until password expiry in a gauge:

JSF COMPONENT
<dvt:gauge id="gauge1" gaugeType="DIAL"
value="#{viewScope.dashboardBean.gaugeValue}">   <dvt:gaugeBackground>     <dvt:specialEffects/>   </dvt:gaugeBackground>   <dvt:thresholdSet> <dvt:threshold thresholdMaxValue="5" fillColor="#ff0000"/> <dvt:threshold thresholdMaxValue="15" fillColor="#FF7F27"/> <dvt:threshold fillColor="#00ff00"/>   </dvt:thresholdSet>   <dvt:gaugeFrame/>   <dvt:indicator/>   <dvt:indicatorBase/>   <dvt:gaugePlotArea/>   <dvt:tickLabel/>   <dvt:tickMark/>   <dvt:topLabel text="Number of days until password change"/>
  <dvt:bottomLabel/>
  <dvt:metricLabel position="LP_WITH_BOTTOM_LABEL"/>
</dvt:gauge>


BEAN CODE
  public Integer getGaugeValue() {     OperationBinding resultBinding = 
      ADFUtils.executeOperationBindingWithoutException(       "calculateDashboard", null);     if(resultBinding.getErrors() != null && 
      resultBinding.getErrors().size() < 1) {
      return (Integer) resultBinding.getResult();
    }
    return new Integer(0);
  }

AM CODE
public Integer calculateDashboard() {
  String sql = "SELECT trunc(U.PASSWORD_EXPIRY_DATE - SYSDATE) "
    + "as diff   FROM USERS u WHERE u.userid = ?";
  BigDecimal count = (BigDecimal) DbUtils.getSingleResult(
    this.getDBTransaction(), sql, getUserPrincipalName());
  return count.intValue();
}

ADF sort of generic screen for tables with the same structure

We have a couple (about a hundred) of tables with the same structure (Code, Description, Create Date, Update Date). So I wanted to do something simple so that I did not have to create all these screens 1) EO   I created the EO based on one of the tables I had that had the above columns. I then Added a transient attribute called table name to my EO based on a groovy expression. (the expression needs to change as I am reading web tier stuff from the model layer but I will fix this later) I then generated a java class for my EO. And added the following overriden method to my newly created java class. protected StringBuffer buildDMLStatement(int i, AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl,   AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl2, AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl3, boolean b) {   StringBuffer statement = super.buildDMLStatement(   i, attributeDefImpl, attributeDefImpl2, attributeDefImpl3, b); return new StringBuffer(StringUtils.replace(statement.to...

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...]
