This code is in the beforePageLoadEvent of an xPage:
var aURL = eStarService.fetchDocLibraryDocumentURL( sessionScope.get( "PropertyNo" ), "Budget" );
sessionScope.put( "docURL",aURL );
var docUNID = eStarService.fetchDocLibraryDocumentUNID( sessionScope.get( "PropertyNo" ), "Architectural Change Form" );
sessionScope.put( "docUNID",docUNID );
It uses my eStarService bean to take a couple of parameters and fetch a document and get the url so I can open that document . I can use this if I set the value of this method as a scope variable and use that scope variable in the custom contrl that contains the navigator code.
I would much prefer to call the method from my bean while in the custom control rather than rely on scope variables however when I access my bean in the custom control it throws an error about the class not being defined. Yet it works fine inthe parent xPage.
thoughts?

Good day folks!
I have a call (CSJS) to a JSON-RPC service in my XPage to get the value of a viewScope variable. I use this call to cycle through my field names (dynamically) and validate them.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to get a handle to the datasource (document1 in my case) to which these fields are bound, from the RPC service.
Here's the call:
// Use the JSON-RPC Service to get the number of asset item rows
// from the viewScope variable
var deferred = myRPCService.getScopeVar();
deferred.addCallback(function(result){
alert(result); // <-- viewScope variable value
// get the dynamic field names for the asset items based on row #
var itemname = '';
for (var i = 1; i < result; i++) {
var itemname = 'replace'+(i < 10? '0':'')+ i
if (document1.getItemValueString(itemname) == ""){
// do this
} else{
// do that
}
}
});
I do get back the value of the viewScope variable from the RPC call but I can't get beyond that. Any pointers/examples would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
PS: See my comment below ...
You don't say what calls the JSON-RPC event, so I will guess and say it is a button. You will have to have an additional serverside event set the viewScope variable to the value of document1.getItemValueString(itemname) which you can then retrieve in the RPC.
Your SSJS event code will look something like:
viewScope.result = document1.getItemValueString(itemname);
The additional event can be onmouseover (not recommended) or onkeypress. I assume you are using onclick clientside for this code, you can't use the onclick serverside because this code would need to run prior to your clientside. You will want the viewScope to contain fresh data, hence this suggestion. If the data doesn't need to be fresh, then set it on page load.
Another idea would be to call two RPC's. The first one can set the viewScope variable and the second can use it. The first one won't need a callback, and just calls a java or SSJS function that sets the viewScope. Personally I like this better than my first suggestion.
I need to save serial number of the document in a profile document and here is a code of action Execute Script:
if (document1.isNewNote()){
var pdoc:NotesDocument=database.getProfileDocument("LastNumber","")
var lnm=pdoc.getItemValue("lastNumber")[0];
var inputText6:com.ibm.xsp.component.xp.XspInputText = getComponent("inputText6");
inputText6.setValue(lnm);
pdoc.replaceItemValue("lastNumber",lnm);
pdoc.save();
}
This code is not opening profile document at all. Any thing wrong in the code?
"LastNumber" is the name of the form used to create Profile Document ?
this profile document already exist ?
there are no reader fields in this profile document ?
you have an error on this line : var pdoc:NotesDocument=database.getProfileDocument("LastNumber","") ?
or you have debug it and see that pdoc is null ?
instead of pdoc.getItemValue("lastNumber")[0] you can use pdoc.getItemValueInteger("lastNumber") to get a typed result
I supposed that this field contains a number and you want to increment it
instead of using inputText field you can set value directly with document1.setValue("NumberField", lnm);
I second the caution Per is suggesting. Profile documents can be a beast. You should abstract access to the "next number" into a SSJS function call. Btw. in your code snippet you don't actually increment the last number. Also: if your input text control is bound, go after the data source, not the UI.
A crude way (I would use a managed application bean for better isolation) for a better function could be this:
if(document1.isNewNote() {
document1.setValue("DocumentNumber",applicationTools.getNextNumber());
}
Then in a SSJS library you would have:
var applicationTools = {
"getNextNumber" : function() {
synchronized(applicationScope){
var pdoc:NotesDocument=database.getProfileDocument("LastNumber","");
if (!applicationScope.lastNumber) {
applicationScope.lastNumber = pdoc.getItemValueInteger("lastNumber");
}
applicationScope.lastNumber++;
pdoc.replaceItemValue("lastNumber",applicationScope.lastNumber);
pdoc.save(); //Make sure pdoc is writeable by ALL!!!!
pdoc.recycle();
return applicationScope.lastNumber;
}
},
"someOtherUtility" : function(nameToLookup, departments) {
// more stuff here
}
}
Which, in some way has been asked before, but not for a profile field. Someone still could simply go after the applicationScope.lastNumber variable, which is one of the reasons why I rather use a bean. The other: you could do the saving asynchronously, so it would be faster.
Note: in any case the number generation only works when you have a non-replicating database. But abstracting the function opens the possibility to replace fetching the number from the profile with a call to a central number generator ... or any other mechanism ... without changing your form again.
I have a xpage that loads a Bootstrap modal window (see picture). I need to validate the data only the user pushes the 'Add New' button. I do not want the validators to run when 'Save and Continue' or 'Previous' buttons are pressed.
The modal dialog is a custom control used many times throughout the application. I cannot change the buttons to disable validators because most of the time I want to validate. The center content is stored in its own custom control.
My question is can I add code to the button to get a handle to each control, and set the disableValidators to true. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. I have already tried computing the disableValidators but was totally unsuccessful. The fields are all bound to scoped variables.
I know that I can use clientside validation here, but the rest of the application uses server-side and I want to be consistent + this is a responsive app, and clientside on mobile is annoying.
Rather than adding code to button to and setting disableValidators for each control I would suggest the other way round. For each control set the required property only if user pushes 'Add New' button.
This blog post by Tommy Valand describes it in detail. The below function lets you test if a specific component triggered an update.
// Used to check which if a component triggered an update
function submittedBy( componentId ){
try {
var eventHandlerClientId = param.get( '$$xspsubmitid' );
var eventHandlerId = #RightBack( eventHandlerClientId, ':' );
var eventHandler = getComponent( eventHandlerId );
if( !eventHandler ){ return false; }
var parentComponent = eventHandler.getParent();
if( !parentComponent ){ return false; }
return ( parentComponent.getId() === componentId );
} catch( e ){ /*Debug.logException( e );*/ }
}
So if you want the validation to run only when the user clicks a specific 'Add New' button then write this in all the required-attributes:
return submittedBy('id-of-add-new-button')
I'm using a view control to display a notes view. We are also using a search function, to search the first column of each view. As we want to save the search parameter a user has entered, we've created a bean saving the search key for each user.
To save the seach key, we are using this code in the data > keys property of a view control:
var dbName:String = database.getFilePath();
var viewName:String = "vwCurrentRequests";
var searchValue:String = searchUserBean.getSearchValue(dbName+viewName);
if(searchValue.isEmpty() || searchValue==null) {
return "";
} else {
return searchValue;
}
But we always have to define the viewName value for each view. So the question is: How can we get the view name of the current view?
You can access the name of the view with this SSJS code:
getComponent("viewPanel1").getData().getViewName()
viewPanel1 is the id of your view panel.
EDIT:
As Frantisek Kossuth wrote, you can use the this keyword instead of the getComponent.
this.getData().getViewName()
Here is what I am trying to do.
I want the data from jsf page1 to be available in jsf page2 which is a popup window opened by page1.
Both have separate managed beans.
I tried using sessions but it resulted in null pointers.
I somehow managed to get the data in page2 using window.opener() in javascript.
Now I want this data to be available in the processAction() method of FacesPortlet.
Tried using request.getParameter, request.getAttributes, all in vain.
After a lot of research I somehow managed to send some hard coded data in processAction() method. But I am unable to send the value from page1.
Here is how I am sending the hardcoded value.
<form name="uploadbaseline" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<portlet:actionURL><portlet:param name = "page" value = "someval"/></portlet:actionURL>">
This is followed by the other fields inside the form.
I get the value in processAction() method like this
System.out.println("valuefrompage1"+request.getParameter("page"));
This returns "someval".
Now I try to assign the value from page1 using javascript using the following code.
var val = window.opener.document.getElementById("BaseLine:EngineModel").value;
var actionval = "<portlet:actionURL><portlet:param name='page' value=" + val.value + "/></portlet:actionURL>";
document.uploadbaseline.action = actionval.value;
document.uploadbaseline.submit();
This returns the value "+ val.value +" as it is and not the actual value in the "val" variable.
Please guide me in the right direction.
Keenly looking forward to your replies.
Thanks.
Found the solution finally.
The problem lies in the enctype attribute of my form.
This prevents me from accessing the page fields using the regular request.getParameter.
This needs to be handled in a different way.
Here is how.
for (Iterator requestItems = upload.parseRequest(request).iterator(); requestItems.hasNext();) {
item = (FileItem) requestItems.next(); // Get each item in the request
if (!item.isFormField()) {
//handle the file data
} else {
System.out.println((String)item.getString());
}
}
