Display SWF file in Webcenter Space

There may be a requirement to display SWF inside Oracle Webcenter Space. The SWF file can be added to space as content presenter in following way.

All we need to do is to embed our SWF file inside HTML file. Following is the code that can be used:

<html>
<body>
<object width="500" height="500">
<param name="movie" value="http://localhost:16200/cs/groups/public/documents/document/newswf.swf">
<embed src="http://localhost:16200/cs/groups/public/documents/document/newswf.swf" width="400" height="400">
</embed>
</object>
</body>
</html>

The SWF file in above code is coming from UCM. Once done, the HTML file can be easily added to Webcenter Space as content presenter. The same concept can also be used for some video files.

Store TaskFlow Input Param in Memory Scope or Managed Bean?

If we need to specify some input parameters for our Bounded task flow then, we can specify value (Note: the value field in Input parameter definition indicates the location where the input parameter will be stored. It does not indicate the value of the parameter we are defining.) either using managed bean or in memory scope. The recommended way is to use managed bean or a simple pojo class configured as manged bean in a memory scope. The reason of using managed bean is that we can use comments in our class file to indicate the purpose for other developers and also make it clear what exactly the input parameters are and where they are stored as they can now be access using managed bean.

Disable text filed in InputDate Component @ADF

If you need to disable the input text filed for adf:inputDate component then we can do that using any of the java scripts below.

1) This script will disable the key events on the text filed. Thus the user will not be able to edit the selected date using Keyboard.

<af:resource>
function disableEntry(evt){
evt.cancel();
}
</af:resource>

<af:inputDate label="Label 1" id="id1" readOnly="false"
contentStyle="background-color:lightgray;">
<af:clientListener method="disableEntry" type="keyDown"/> </af:inputDate>

2) This script will completely disable the text filed. The only problem with this script is that, if we have many input date components on a page, then we will need to apply this for all component by their IDs.

<af:document id="d1">
<f:facet name="metaContainer">
<f:verbatim>
<script type="text/javascript">
function disable(evt) {
document.getElementById('id1::content').disabled=true;
}

</script>
</f:verbatim>
</f:facet>
<af:clientListener method="disable()" type="load"/>
.....
<af:inputDate label="Date Picker" value="#{pageFlowScope.genPDF.dateEcheance}" binding="#{pageFlowScope.genPDF.id1}" id="id1"/>
