- 3. I USE ADF, WHAT ABOUT REPORTS ?
- 5. CREATING ORACLE REPORTS • Example: – Employees per Department Report – Parameter P_DEPARTMENT_ID
- 6. HOW TO CALL THE REPORT ?
- 7. USING ORACLE REPORTS • Use Case : Invoke the report for the currently selected Department in an ADF table
- 8. PREPARING THE CALL • Create a bean and method to invoke the report <managed-bean id="__13"> <managed-bean-name id="__14">oracleReportBean</managed-bean-name> <managed-bean-class id="__15"> com.blogspot.lucbors.reporting.view.orarep.OracleReportBean </managed-bean-class> <managed-bean-scope id="__16">request</managed-bean-scope> </managed-bean> • Provide report parameters String oraReportServerUrl = "http://192.168.2.8:8889/reports/rwservlet?"; String reportNameParam ="report="; String reportDestypeParam = "destype="; String reportPDesformatParam = "desformat="; String reportUseridParam = "userid=“;
- 9. CONSTRUCTING THE CALL • Construct Report Server URL; Including the parameters public void runOracleReport(ActionEvent actionEvent) { String departmentParam = "p_department_id="; StringBuffer totalCallUrl = new StringBuffer(); totalCallUrl.append(getOraReportServerUrl()); totalCallUrl.append(getReportNameParam().concat("employees.rdf")+"&"); totalCallUrl.append(getReportDestypeParam().concat("cache")+"&"); totalCallUrl.append(getReportPDesformatParam().concat("html")+"&"); totalCallUrl.append(getReportUseridParam().concat("hr/hr@xe")+"&"); totalCallUrl.append(departmentParam.concat(getDepartmentId())); setOraReportUrl(totalCallUrl.toString()); } public String getDepartmentId() { DCIteratorBinding it = ADFUtils.findIterator("SalaryOverview1Iterator"); oracle.jbo.domain.Number deptId = (oracle.jbo.domain.Number)it.getCurrentRow().getAttribute("DepartmentId"); return deptId.toString(); }
- 10. CALL AND SHOW THE REPORT • Call ……… <af:commandToolbarButton text="Run Oracle Report" id="cb3“ actionListener="#{oracleReportBean.runOracleReport}"> <af:showPopupBehavior popupId=":::showOraRpt" triggerType="click"/> </af:commandToolbarButton> • ……. And Show the report <af:popup id="showOraRpt" animate="default"> <af:panelWindow id="pw3" modal="true" title="External Internet Info in a Modal Popup" contentHeight="625" contentWidth="700" resize="on"> <af:inlineFrame id="if3" shortDesc="This is an inline frame" source="#{oracleReportBean.oraReportUrl}" styleClass="AFStretchWidth" inlineStyle="height:600px;"> </af:inlineFrame> </af:panelWindow>

- 18. CONSTRUCTING THE CALL • Construct Report Server URL; Including the parameters public void startBiReport(ActionEvent event) { StringBuffer reportUrl = new StringBuffer(); reportUrl.append(getRapportServerHost()); reportUrl.append("/"+"EmployeesPerDepartment"+".xdo"); // add standard params addStandardParams(rapport,reportUrl); // add report-specific params addReportParams(rapport, reportUrl); sLog.fine("Rapport start URL: "+reportUrl); setReportUrl(reportUrl.toString()); ……..
