Using ADF Faces Dialog framework

-          Use ADF faces dialog framework to create dialog in application doesn't uses ADF controller and task flows 

-          Enables display a page or series of pages in a separate browser windows

-          If application uses fusion technology you should use task flows to create popups 

Create a control flow case and view activity in adfc-config.xml file as below.

Look at the dialog:syntax used.

Code for dia_view1.jspx 

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"

          xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich">

    <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>

    <f:view>

        <af:document title="dia_view1.jspx" id="d1">

            <af:form id="f1">

                <af:button text="button 1" id="b1" action="dialog:toView2" useWindow="true" windowModalityType="applicationModal" windowHeight="200"

                           windowWidth="300" launchListener="#{pageFlowScope.DialogBackingbean.launchListener}"

                           returnListener="#{pageFlowScope.DialogBackingbean.dialogReturnListener}"/>

            </af:form>

        </af:document>

    </f:view>

</jsp:root>

The adf command button uses the properties highlighted .Also look into the launch listener and return Listener code.

dia_view2.jspx 

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"

          xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich">

    <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>

    <f:view>

        <af:document title="dia_view2.jspx" id="d1">

            <af:outputText value="First Name : #{pageFlowScope.username}" id="ot1"/>

            <af:form id="f1">

                <af:button text="Close" id="b1" immediate="true">

                    <af:returnActionListener/>

                </af:button>

                <af:button text="Cancel " id="b2" actionListener="#{pageFlowScope.DialogBackingbean.testAction}"/>

            </af:form>

        </af:document>

    </f:view>

</jsp:root>

A close and cancel button is provided to demonstrate both ways of closing the popup.

The DialogBackingbean java bean code below.

package view.test;

import javax.faces.event.ActionEvent;

import oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.output.RichOutputText;

import oracle.adf.view.rich.context.AdfFacesContext;

import org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.event.LaunchEvent;

import org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.event.ReturnEvent;

public class DialogBackingbean {

    private RichOutputText outTextBind;

    public DialogBackingbean() {

    }

    public void listenerMethod(ReturnEvent returnEvent) {

        System.out.println("Return Listener..");

        // AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getPageFlowScope().put("testValue", "Testing");

        String retVal = (String) AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getPageFlowScope().get("retVal");

        System.out.println(retVal);

        this.getOutTextBind().setValue(retVal);

        AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(this.getOutTextBind());

    }

    public void setOutTextBind(RichOutputText outTextBind) {

        this.outTextBind = outTextBind;

    }

    public RichOutputText getOutTextBind() {

        return outTextBind;

    }

    public void testAction(ActionEvent actionEvent) {

        User user = new User();

        user.setUsername("SuneeshVR");

        AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(user, null);

    }

    public void launchListener(LaunchEvent launchEvent) {

        System.out.println(" Launch Listener");

       // Using the below code we can pass the parameter to the popup page.

        launchEvent.getDialogParameters().put("username", "suneesh");

    }

    public void dialogReturnListener(ReturnEvent returnEvent) {

      System.out.println("Inside dialog ret listener..");

     

      User user =(User)returnEvent.getReturnValue();

      System.out.println(user.getUsername());

    }

}

User bean is a simple java bean having the username property.
