OAF Generic Questions

Difference between fire Action and firePartialAction?

FireAction is used to Submit the whole Form and whole page will render again.
FirePartialAction is user for Partial Page Rendering(PPR). It will not cause whole page to render again. It causes only partial refresh of page.

Fire Action will do the form submit , cause entire page to be rendered .
FirePartial Action ( Similar to AJAX in java application ) only part of the page gets rendered or refreshed .

---- If Position President then Hide Manager Field
1)Create Trans VO with Trans Attr EmpManagerRender(Boolean) and RowKey(KeyAttribute)
2)Add handlePositionChangeEvent() in AM.
handlePositionChangeEvent() will iterate through current Entry VO which will update TransAttribute
EmpManagerRender.
3)From UI on Position change action to Partial and Event empPositionChange.
On ProcessFormRequest
else if ("empPositionChange".equals(pageContext.getParameter(OAWebBeanConstants.EVENT_PARAM))) {
            // The Position poplist PPR change event has fired.
            am.invokeMethod("handlePositionChangeEvent");
        }


LOV firePartialAction

if (pageContext.isLovEvent())
{

//
// if ("myLovInput".equals(lovInputSourceId))
// {
// logic begins here
// }
}

Abstract Classess and Methods
An abstract class can not be instantiated.
Abstract methods must be implemented by subclassess.


When you declare abstract method, you provide only signature for method, which comprises name,argument list and return type. Abstract class does not provide body. Each concrete subclass must override the method and provide its body.

Public abstract class InventoryItem{
abstract boolean isRentable();
}

eg.
public abstract class OAEntityImpl extends OAJboEntityImpl
{
...
public abstract void setCreationDate(Date date);
...
}


Abstract classess can contain method that are not declared as abstract. Those method can be overriden by subclassess.


Interfaces
An interface is like fully abstract class.
-- All its methods are abstract.
-- All variables are public static final.

An interface lists a set of method signature without code details.

A class that imlements interface must provide code details for all methods of the interface.

A class can implement many interfaces but can extend only one class.

Exposing AM Methods to Controller

package xx.oracle.apps.pa.conthrrt;

import oracle.jbo.ApplicationModule;

public interface xxConthrrtAM extends ApplicationModule

{

  int getConcReqId(String pAppName, String pCpName);

  int ContExistCheck(String ContSso);

  oracle.jbo.domain.Date castToJBODate(String aDate);

}

public class xxConthrrtAMImpl extends OAApplicationModuleImpl implements xx.oracle.apps.pa.conthrrt.xxConthrrtAM        

{

In CO Use

import xx.oracle.apps.pa.conthrrt.server.xxConthrrtAMImpl;

            int cReqId;

            cReqId = -9;

            xxConthrrtAMImpl amObject = (xxConthrrtAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);

            String pAppName  = "GEPSPA";

            String pCpName = "GEPS_PA_CONTRATE_PRG";

            cReqId = amObject.getConcReqId(pAppName,pCpName);
