You can use Groovy expression to default value for  Key attribute from a database sequence while you create new instance of an entity object. If you have access to my book Oracle ADF Real World Developer’s Guide , see page 76 for details or see the following blog from Timo Hahn   http://tompeez.wordpress.com/2011/09/02/using-groovy-expression-to-set-a-primary-key-with-a-sequence-number/ This post is just meant for sharing a simple tip that I learned today(Thanks to Steve Muench) for assigning database sequence value to a String type attribute. In case if you need to assign the sequence value to an attribute of type String in an entity object(yes, there are such use cases as well), you can add " as String " to the end of the Groovy expression and set it as default value for the entity attribute. Example: (new oracle.jbo.server.SequenceImpl("DEPARTMENTS_SEQ", adf.object.getDBTransaction())).getSequenceNumber() as String

Sometime back I blogged about Programmatically disclosing a ShowDetailItem in a <af:panelTabbed> . In today's post I'm revisiting this topic to address the same usecase for applications with customization(change persistence) ON . If the customization is enabled you may need to use appropriate ChangeManager APIs for persisting the changes that you do programmatically. Otherwise during rendering  ChangeManager will override your programmatic changes with the state for the component that is persisted in the change manger during the last user interaction. So the code snippet posted in my previous blog post needs to have following ChangeManager APIs as well to make this working for an application that use "Change Persistence/Customization". The precious post has the full code sample. For a complete working sample, you need to change  displaySelectedItem(...)  given in the last post's sample with the code snippet given below. import org.apache.myfac...

The  ADF Faces 12C release comes with a dynamic component ( af:dynamicComponent ) that determines what components to display, and their values, at run time. So your model (created at run time) can have hints about the type of component as well as other UI related things, which would be picked up by af:dynamicComponent and render the UI at run time as appropriate. For example, if your UI model (AttributesModel) says that component is of LOV type, then af:dynamicComponent will render appropriate LOV for you at run time.  Note that in earlier days your code were deciding the type of the component in such cases. This new component will considerably simplify the effort you need to put for building dynamic UI. You can learn more about this component in  section 21 Determining Components at Runtime in   Developing Web User Interfaces with Oracle ADF Faces . Its well documented, so nothing more to be detailed here :) In this post I'm sharing a example that mak...
