I was checking through the code on our project, and found an Action method in our code without a view. CustomForms.Index didn't have a matching View, but when I run the code, up comes the view listing the appropriate records.
I'm happy that we don't get an error. But I'm curious how to figure out what View it is using.
By convention, Razor searches for views in the following paths, in order:
~/Areas/{AreaName}/Views/{ControllerName}/{ActionName}.cshtml
~/Areas/{AreaName}/Views/Shared/{ActionName}.cshtml
~/Views/{ControllerName}/{ActionName}.cshtml
~/Views/Shared/{ActionName}.cshtml
Obviously, if you're not utilizing areas, the first two don't apply. Additionally, the view can be explicitly given, by passing a string to the return View call:
return View("Foo");
Would look for a view name Foo.cshtml in all of the above locations, instead of the action name.

this is my first question, thanks in advance.
I am trying to customize the liferay results portlet and facets, with custom results. I need to filter the results once the search is launched, and remove the results that do not have layoutId :
with->
layoutIds = journalContentSearchLocalService.getLayoutIds(groupId,false,articleIdResult);
I´m doing this in a jsp fragment, but i think that it´s not correct.
I have been searching and i think the correct way is to modify the java class with the action, for example with acction coomand hook, is this correct?
Please, can you explain me the correct way to modify this functionalities?
Regards!!
ok. it looks you want result of journalarticle having display page is set. in that case, you need to look for JournalarticleModelPreFiltercontributor component extension or journalarticlepostprocessor if you are using legacy search api. when article gets indexed layoutuuid field is also indexed for each article. that field will have value if display page is set for specific web content or article.
So, you can use any of the above mentioned way to add check that this field should not be empty as search term. which will filter your result in request itself. instead adding overhead on result as later filtering in jsp.
I have a general JSF problem, I found no nice solution for yet. See the picture for a general idea. I have a workaround solution (sorry for the typo in the image) in place that solves the problem by a listbox. However the desired solution is to display all existing versions next to each other (probably always around 1-3).
I have a view with a tree and picklist. There is a complex flow regarding the interaction between list and tree, e.g. you can only move models to subgroups, not top-level-groups and much more. I created a handler class that manages this behavior and translates it to service calls.
Now, a new requirement came up. There are several versions of this tree that should be displayed all together on one page. My gut feeling is that managing n versions in one handler is a big mess as I need to store several things in the handler already for one version.
In React, I would create a component that wraps the tree and all of the interaction. However, in JSF I'm not so sure what is the best practice here?
I would be happy about suggestions and ideas, I'm not expecting Code :)
I found a solution that fits my needs and I post it here hoping that it might help other people as well :)
So on my view I have several tree views with complex interactions. For example, if an item within the tree is moved, the operation is immediately reflected in the database. As I use JPA, I need to translate this to an entitymanager call.
The views are either displayed in a list or just one-at-a-time via a dropdown select.
Anyway, the idea is that every complex view component has its own controller with a reference to an entitymanager and a transaction, while having just one JSF handler class. If JSF would allow to create multiple handlers (like #{handler_1}, {handler_2}), the problem could be solved in a different way. But as JSF works name based and the name {#handler} always refers to the same container managed thing, this is no option.
The handler class is ViewScoped (or SessionScoped, if you prefer). For each tree component it has a ComponentController class that receives the EntityManager and the UserTransaction as well as the related data form the handler via constructor injection. This way, the handler can delegate all commands to the Controller while being DRY.
With this solution, the controller logic can be re-used regardless how many tree components exist. Each view elements binds a specific controller via handler.controllers.get(id).
All other solutions did not work for me as they are not able to perform database operations on view interactions.
I have a simple document with 3 fields and 1 rich text field. I also have an xpage with 3 simple edit box controls and 1 rich text. The name of my NotesXSPDocument is document1.
Question 1:
Can i get a vector with all the controls of the xsp document? for example, instead of using getComponent("fld1"), getComponent("fld2") ... etc, can i use something like getAllComponents() or document1.getControls()? These methods do not exist of course so i am asking if there is a way to do it. I know i can get all items of a document (not XSP) by calling document1.getDocument().getItems(). IS there anything similar for xsp?
Question2:
Lets say we can get a vector as i described above. Then if i iterate through this vector to get each control's value, is there a method to check if it is rich text or simple text field?
Technically, yes, but not readily and this is one of those situations where there's likely a better way to approach whatever underlying problem it is you want to solve.
Nonetheless, if you're looking to get a list of inputs on the page, XspQuery is your friend: http://avatar.red-pill.mobi/tim/blog.nsf/d6plinks/TTRY-96R5ZT . With that, you could use "locateInputs" to get a List of all the inputs on the page, and then check their value method bindings to see if the string version is referencing your variable name. Error-prone and not pretty, but it'd work. Since they're property bindings, I don't think the startsWith filter in there would do what you want.
Alternatively, you could bind the components to something in a Java class from the start. I've been doing just such a thing recently (for a different end) and initially described it here: https://frostillic.us/f.nsf/posts/my-black-magic-for-the-day . The upshot is that, with the right cleverness for how you do your binding="" property, you could get a list of all the components that reference a property of a given object.
As for the second part of the question, if you DO get a handle on the components one way or another, you can check to see if it's a rich text control by doing "component instanceof com.ibm.xsp.UIInputRichText".
A bit complex but yes. facesContext.getViewRoot() is an UIViewRoot object so it has List<UIComponent> getChildren() method which returns its children.
However, since it's a tree-structure, some of its children will have additional children components. You have to traverse the entire tree to build a list of components you want to see.
For types, you can decide what type a component is by its class. For instance, UIInput is a text box, etc.
I have a view defined on an xpage. I also have several filters (based on the columns) that the user can select and combine to filter the results in the view. I generate a query string based on this that I construct in dominoView.search (doing a complete refresh). What I would like to do is get the results of the search so that I can then update some counts displayed elsewhere on the page. I'm having a hard time figuring out where I can perform this logic, though. I'm trying to use view.getAllEntries() and then iterating over the collection. Sometimes it seems like it works, but other times I seem to be getting the unfiltered view. Someone suggested I explicitly call view.FTSearch inside one of the events (beforePageLoad?) and immediately after do my getAllEntries call, saving the results in viewScope, but I get an "Error while browses Notes view" runtime error when I try to do that. Any pointers? TIA!
EDIT: After studying the xpages lifecycle a bit (which is still a little confusing), I think I can fine-tune my question. This is my first stackoverflow question, so I hope this is okay to do and productive....
As I described, I have a dominoView defined on my xpage. A repeat iterates over the rows of the view, displaying certain fields from the documents. If I define a query in the search property, then the repeat correctly displays the reduced set of documents rather than the complete set. (The query is computed in the search property via SSJS from some variables defined in the viewScope in a combobox's eventHandler.) However, if I try to access the current entries in the view inside of the repeat's rendered section (with SSJS) using myView.getAllEntries (where myView is what's defined as the "value" of the repeat), I am still getting all of the documents, even if a query has been done. It seems like at that point, the view variable has already had its search applied (since the repeat works), so why the differing results? Is there another way to access the view's rows? To complicate this further, this is just a simple experiment that might clarify the problem; as I indicated earlier, I don't actually want to access the view data within the repeat, I want to access it in the rendered or value sections of some comboboxes defined before the repeat in the xpage file.
I hope that makes more sense now....
EDIT #2: I forgot to add that if I manually call FTSearch (or FTSearchSorted) before calling myView.getAllEntries, then I think I can make this work. It just seems unnecessary to have to do that in addition to the view's built-in search.
From what I get you want to iterate over the entries in a view that before has been filtered, i.e. whose resulting entry collection is smaller than the the view itself.
What I don't get (yet) is what you want to do with the result, or what you're axpecting to get from the iteration over your filtered view (you're mentioning some counts to be displayed somewhere else).
Probably a good way is to use the view's .getAllEntriesByKey method which returns a NotesViewEntryCollection object which then can be used for your iteration.
Don't forget to recycle the resulting NotesViewEntry objects; reason for this has been explained several times here at stackoverflow.
I've created a new Yes/No attribute for products. I've extended the Product model to do some custom logic and the custom functions are working everywhere.
When I initially tried getting the custom attribute value, I ran into some issue. Magento wasn't loading it for me, so calls to $product->getMyAttributeName() did nothing. In the product views, I got it working with this additional function:
public function getAttrVal($attr_name)
{
return $this->getResource()->getAttribute($attr_name)->getFrontend()->getValue($this);
}
So that worked great when viewing a product on the frontend. It would fetch the assigned value if set, or the default if not.
When I view any Category (grid of all products in that category), the same exact code is being executed. But my getAttrVal() function always returns the default value, even if I've explicitly set this value for my product.
I can't, for the life of me, figure out why the attribute loads correctly in the Product view but the Category view always grabs the default value, despite running the same exact code. Any thoughts?
Because Magento uses an EAV model for its extensible catalog attributes, not every attribute may be carried over onto every page. Try fiddling with the "displayed in catalog" and other related variables on the attribute, and it may fix your problem. If not, say so and we can try other things.
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Joe
