JSF :: Viewscoped Managed Beans
Nov 24, 2014
I have a primefaces editable datatable with column filtering feature.The datatable has live scrolling feature.The problem that i am facing here is that both filtering and scrolling are happening correctly with Request scoped managed bean but when the scope of the same bean is changed to view scope(javax.faces.bean.ViewScoped) then the filtering happens but on removing the keyed in key word from filter box the table content is not reset to original state and also i am not able to scroll down to next set of records on reaching the end of scrolling.Cell editing feature is working perfectly.
One thing that i observed is ,currently i am querying 5000 odd records to load into datatable.But if the number of records is limited below 5000 scrolling is happening correctly but problem with filtering remains same.I even tested by upgrading to Primefaces 5.1 from 3.Code snippet of xhtml page
<h:form id="form">
<div id="content">
<p:dataTable id="workSpaceList" var="data"
value="#{workSpaceBean.list}" widgetVar="multiSelection"
selection="#{workSpaceBean.selectedRows}" resizableColumns="true"
liveScroll="true" scrollRows="10" scrollWidth="90%"
scrollHeight="70%" styleClass="datatable"
tableStyle="table-layout:auto;width:auto important!;height:auto important!;padding-left:15px;"
scrollable="true" editable="true" editMode="cell"
filteredValue="#{workSpaceBean.filteredWorkSpaceItems}"
rowKey="#{data.lpID}" >
[code]....

I have an in-cell editable data table with a viewscoped managed bean.I found that the control never goes to the ajax event method onCellEdit when the scope of the bean is @Viewscoped but it works when the scope is changed to request scope.how to get this feature work with viewscope.Below is my code snippet
xhtml snippet
<p:dataTable id="workSpaceList" var="data"
value="#{workSpaceBean.lpInfoList}" widgetVar="multiSelection"
selection="#{workSpaceBean.selectedRows}"
scrollable="true" rowIndexVar="index" editable="true"
editMode="cell".......>

I'm wondering if there's a way to build a template for managed beans which could be extended by a constructor instead of re-writing beans for each entity. I can do that quite easily for Dao objects by creating facades and using those facades to create Dao implementations for specific entities. Not sure if the same concept works for managed beans and haven't really come accross any searches.
I wrote the following but I'm not sure how to implement or even if the concept of generics and templating can be applied to managed beans in the same way it can be applied to Dao classes:
public class BeanTemplate<T> {
private ListDataModel<T> listModel;
@EJB
private GenDao dao;
private Class<T> entityClass;
[Code] .....
The above assumes there's only one method needed in the bean. I thought of extending like this:
public class EmployeeBean extends BeanTemplate<Employee> {
public EmployeeBean() {
super(Employee.class);
}
// how can the methods be called??
Is the same concept for creating dao templates possible for managed beans?

This is a general question about best practices for handling persisted data in JSF. My JSF page is going to have several fields that map to a managed bean. Upon a button click the fields of this bean are going to be persisted in a database. Is it better to use another bean with application scope to handle the JDBC code, or should I have a method in the bean itself to handle that? Similarly I'll need a method to retrieve the information upon a user request.

I'm trying to understand the concurrent model of each EJB session bean types.
The singleton is well documented and seems clear to me... Only one instance and many threads using it but each method by default is synchronized because @Lock is defaulted to WRITE. We can let multiple threads use on method with @Lock(READ).
The stateless beans are in a pool I think I read somewhere that the container will ensure only one thread is using one instance at a time but this instances are recycled/reused so many threads can use the same instance but one at a time.
Is this correct ? or is it possible that multi-threading occur in one instance of SLSB ?If in the client I obtain a single reference of a SLSB and share this "instance reference" in multiple threads is it true that all the threads could use different instances on the server side ?
The stateful instance I obtain in the client is linked to one server instance and any method call will target the same instace. If many threads are using the same reference, all method calls will be synchronized and waiting for a certain amount of time that can be defined in @AccessTimeout and if the timeout is reach will end with a ConcurrentAccessException.
Can we use @Lock(READ) and let many thread use the same method like in a singleton ?

If I have the next request scoped JSF bean for example:
public class UserBean {
private String name;
private String surname;
public String saveUser(){
//service is called to save a user
}
public String updateUser(){
//service is called to update a user
[Code] ....
1.In struts for example the Action classes are singletons and I think is the way it has to be because they contain business logic and is the same logic for every user but in JSF because of you mix properties from a form and methods with business logic, these beans have to be request scoped like the above one but is very wierd that a bean which contains business logic(saveUser()....) be request scoped;I dont see it effective, is like creating a new servlet each time you want to save a user but I think is the way JSF works, right?
2 To avoid the mixing of form properties in a bean with business logic, some people say to have the form beans request scoped and actions beans session scoped.
- Is this right?
- How then can you get the request form bean in the action bean?
- The scopes in JSF are request, session and view so you cannot create singleton action beans, the best you can get is a session action bean, right?. Once again I dont see the point of creating action beans with session scoped,they should be application scoped if it existed

I've spent almost 3 hours on googling about java beans and where it is usable. What I've figured out is that a bean has a public non-arg constructor, properties and getters/setters to manipulate them. I also know that a bean contains no logic, only fields. However, I don't fully understand why I need to use beans instead of normal classes even if a class can do the same things like a bean? Are beans used to store data or what?

I have seen in some examples like URL... a good design is to have the model and the action methods in one just single bean and the model not to be a separated class but a few properties like this:
public class CustomerBean implements Serializable{
//DI via Spring
CustomerBo customerBo;
[b]public String name;[/b]
[b]public String address;[/b]
//getter and setter methods
[code]...
Some questions:
1. If you are using hibernate or any other ORM like the above example(URL...), why not to use the hibernate pojo bean directly like it represented the form instead of using properties?:
public class CustomerBean implements Serializable{
//DI via Spring
CustomerBo customerBo;
[b]Customer customer;[/b] //represents the properties of a form
//getter and setter methods
public void setCustomerBo(CustomerBo customerBo) {
this.custom
2. Why is it said that JSF represents the purest MVC? Spring separates the model from the view too and Struts does too. I dont really understand it

About creating views,
1. When we have a view and this uses two or three managed beans and not only one, is this ok? is a good design?
2 If we have two views and both of them only share one functionality (they need to display datatable with clients) , for the second view and for the shared functionality, should I in the managed bean for the second view create the same method that gets the clients or reuse the method in the managed bean created for the first view?

I'm doing a little game in Java and I would like to insert a background music managed by a JButton. When the button is pressed, the music starts and then, to stop it, the button is pressed again. If you don't press the button to stop the music remains in the loop until the player plays.

I am working on a java bean, on a stopwatch
private String displayFormat = "%02d:%02d:%02d";// produces 00:00:00 hour:min:seconds
public void timerHasChanged() {
currentTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
// How long has been taken so far?
long secsTaken = (currentTime - startTime) / 1000;
long minsTaken = secsTaken / 60;
secsTaken %= 60;
long hoursTaken = minsTaken/60;
minsTaken %= 60;
Formatter fmt = new Formatter();
fmt.format(displayFormat, hoursTaken, minsTaken, secsTaken);
timerJbl.setText(fmt.toString());
How would i code the get and set method for format, so in property tab a user can choose if they want the timer shown in seconds, or minutes or hours or seconds&minutes

I have a situation to load data while JSF page loads. Also have a filter which populates user information from http request.
I was expecting the filter first to populate the user information and in the managed bean get method to verify the user information and get the data (from database). But in this case i see the managed bean get method is invoked before filter populates user information and i get null pointer exception because the user information is null.
I had to work around to get the user information from FacesContext in the managed bean get method because the user information wasn't available. Is there a way to make sure the filter is invoked first?

I finish reading The EntityManager Interface in JEE tutorial. I know I can use container manager entity manager in EJB, but I want to explore how to use application managed entity manager in EJB.
Can I use application managed entity manager in EJB (container management JTA transaction is used)? Where do I should close entity manager if can?
The following is an example from JEE tutorial, but didn't find where to calose entity manager. and can I create mutiple EntityManagerFactory objects and Entity Manager objects to use them in a JTA transaction?
@PersistenceUnit
EntityManagerFactory emf;
EntityManager em;
@Resource
UserTransaction utx;

I am trying to restrict the number of views in JSF 2.0.2 using
<context-param>
<param-name>org.apache.myfaces.NUMBER_OF_VIEWS_IN_SESSION</param-name>
<param-value>5</param-value>
</context-param>
In my case my managed bean is View Scoped and it supports a UI page which has multiple forms and each form is submitted as AJAX POST request.
As per the statndard, setting restriction to 5 should create 5 views and after that based on LRU algorithm the oldest views should get deleted if 6th views is created.
Therefore any action on the oldest view will throw the ViewExpiredException and i simply redirect the user to view expired page.
1) When i set the restriction to 5 views, i open 4 tabs with 3 forms each.
2) I submit the 3 forms on first tab everything works fine.
3) As soon as I go to 2nd tab and submit the first form thr, i get view expired exception
4) It seems I am exceeding the number of views I mentioned in web.xml
I want to know :
1) Does every AJAX POST submit itself creates a view ?
2) How I can count the number of views created in a session ?
3)Can i force expiry of a view in JSF 2.0.2 while the session is still alive ?
4) Normally JSF 2.0.2 session cachces the views. Lets assume session is alive the entire day but a view was created in morning at 9:00 AM and is not used again the entire day. Assuming that session doesn't reaches the max number of views it can save in entire day, will the view created in morning expire on its own after certain interval of time ? If not , can we still force its expiry while keeping the session alive ?

I'm using a PrimeFaces UploadedFile xhtml page to select a csv file to read and write using a managed bean (SuperCSVParser.java). The file is read and written to an entity class which then persists the data to a database. The application works fine if I specify a file path on the physical server and select a csv file on that file path. But for the production version I want the user to select ANY file name from ANY directory on their local system.
I know about the FacesContext methods and I've looked at some methods from the java.io File class. Most of these methods are about getting the path from the server, where I want to 'pass' the path String from the client machine to allow the uploaded file to go through. When I try with the below code I get:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: data.csv (The system cannot find the file specified)
I'd like to know what I'm doing as I prefer not to explicitly declare a path in the final app. I'm almost sure that's possible.
<h:form enctype="multipart/form-data">
<p:fileUpload value="#{SuperCsvParser.file}"
mode="simple"
auto="true"
[Code].....

I have a requirement where in my primefaces datatable ,the filterMatchMode attribute(like any part of field,whole field) needs to be selected by the user by select menu .
To achieve this i have declared a variable in my viewscoped managed bean as filterCriteria and set the filterMatchMode attribute as filterMatchMode="#{beanName.filterCriteria}".The bean variable is getting set in the managed bean on submit but the filtering is not happening,i am getting empty message.
Also when i remove the keyed in value from filter box the data table is not restored which otherwise must be restored in normal situations. I have used and modified the example code given in primefaces showcase here.The code snippet is as below
<h:form id="tblFrm">
<h:selectOneMenu id="filterOptions"
value="#{dtFilterView.filterOption}" required="true"
requiredMessage="You must select an option!">
<f:selectItem id="hd1" itemLabel="Select" itemValue="#{null}" />

I read JEE6 doc and confused with : Does container managed entity manager (injected by PersistenceContext annotation) is thread-safe in stateless session bean in multiple-thread env?
See code below, if there are 2 requests to stateless sesion bean in 2 concurrent threads , is it using same Entity Manager Instance or not?
@Stateless(name = "HRFacade", mappedName = "HR_FACES_EJB_JPA-HRFacade-HRFacade")
public class HRFacadeBean implements HRFacade, HRFacadeLocal {

SessionContext sessionContext;
@PersistenceContext(unitName = "HRFacade")

I am developing a web application using JSF-2.0 on weblogic 10.3.6. I am using Facelets as VDL. I have 5 different machine. They are different according to their OS and their geographical location. On my first xhtml page server (machine) is decided. Then on next page file upload and rest of processing takes place. My restriction is that SSO configuration can be done on only one machine.
So I am restricted to using xhtml files from only my primary server where SSO configuration is done. But I have to connect to servlets or managed-bean of different machine as requests are machine specific and file needs to be uploaded to those machines for processing. So I cannot use redirectUrl as I need to be only on one machine. Is it possible that xhtml on one server can talk to managed-bean on other server(different machine)?.
