My Pentaho experience

I was playing with pentaho over the weekend and must say I am impressed with what I have seen.

The report designer is now very functional. I am going to have to play with it a bit more to be understand what can be done fully but producing a report with parameters is really easy once you get a hang of the tool.
(I click on the query you want to modify and modify the sql instead of using the edit button)

I replaced the pentaho security implementation with my own implementation and was surprised to find out how easy the spring security implementation was (one thing I wrote my own GrantedAuthority implementation which was a bad idea the default one org.springframework.security.GrantedAuthorityImpl works well and includes an equals, hashcode and compareto which mine did not and didnt work and implementation)

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)

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...
