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>

  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.

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...]
