Controller Extension in OAF

This document discusses extending controller objects (COs) in Oracle Application Framework (OAF) pages. It provides the following instructions: 1. Set profile values to enable the Personalization Page link for modifying COs. 2. Oracle does not recommend extending COs for shipped product pages as the controller methods and implementations may change between upgrades. 3. If absolutely necessary, only override the processFormRequest() method to handle custom form submissions, but there are risks in extending COs for shipped pages. The document then provides an example of extending the CO for a sample Search page to modify the view object query and filter out certain results.

Controller Extension in OAF

Set the values of following profiles to enable Personalization Page link in OAF Pages

Profile Name

Value

FND: Personalization Region Link Enabled

Yes

Personalize Self-Service Defn

Yes

Disable Self-Service Personal

No

Oracle does not recommend that customers extend controller objects associated with regions or
webbeans in shipped E-Business Suite product pages.
Controller class (oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.OAControllerImpl) methods should
effectively be considered private, since their implementation is subject to change. Controller
extensions are therefore not considered to be durable between upgrades.
If it is absolutely essential to handle custom form submit events on a shipped product page,
processFormRequest() is the only method that should be overriden in a controller class,
although the risks outlined above still apply.

Let us try to Extend Controller in OAF Page

In this exercise we are going to extend CO of SearchPG.

Now we will extend this newly created CO under this exercise.


The purpose of this exercise is to modify the VO query of results table.
Now when we click on Go button all the records are displaying in the results table and our
OBJECTIVE is to bind the VO query of results table in such a way that in
result Column1 valueval5 and Column2 value val6 should not come as result on click Go
button

Now for knowing which controller to extend we click on "About This Page" Link and select
Expand All. Here we can see the Name of the controller that we need to extend

1. Create a New Workspace and Project


File > New > General > Workspace Configured for Oracle Applications
File Name MahiCOExtensionDemo
Automatically a new OA Project will also be created
Project Name -- COExtensionDemo
Default Package -- Mahi.oracle.apps.fnd.coextensiondemo.webui

2. Create a New Java Class


Right Click on COExtensionDemo > New > General > Java Class
Name -- ExtendedSearchCO
Package -- Mahi.oracle.apps.fnd.coextensiondemo.webui
Extends -- Mahi.oracle.apps.fnd.searchdemo.webui.SearchCO

Note -- Give the Name of your Extended Class give its package path and in the extends property

select base class

3. Write below logic in ExtendedSearchCO Java Class


package Mahi.oracle.apps.fnd.coextensiondemo.webui;
import Mahi.oracle.apps.fnd.searchdemo.webui.SearchCO;
import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.OAPageContext;
import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.beans.OAWebBean;
import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAApplicationModule;
import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.beans.layout.OAQueryBean;
import Mahi.oracle.apps.fnd.searchdemo.server.SearchVOImpl;
public class ExtendedSearchCO extends SearchCO
{
public ExtendedSearchCO ()
{
}
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
{
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
OAQueryBean queryBean = (OAQueryBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("QueryRN");
//Capturing Go Button ID
String go = queryBean.getGoButtonName();
//If its Not NULL which mean user has pressed "Go" Button
if(pageContext.getParameter(go)!=null)
{
// Setting whereClause at Runtime to restrict the query
SearchVOImpl vo = (SearchVOImpl)am.findViewObject("SearchVO1");
vo.setWhereClause(null);
vo.setWhereClause("Column1 <>:1 AND Column2 <>:2");
vo.setWhereClauseParam(0,"val5");

vo.setWhereClauseParam(1,"val6");
}
}
}

4. Attach new controller to SearchPG through personalization


Click on Personalize Page link on top right hand side of your page

Click on Complete View -> Expand All -> Click on personalize icon next to Page Layout

Now at site level give the path of extended controller as we are extending the controller at SITE
LEVEL
Mahi.oracle.apps.fnd.coextensiondemo.webui.ExtendedSearchCO
By defaylt it will come as Inherit
Click Apply -> Return to Application

Click Go
Note Record with Column1 value val5 and Column2 value val6 is not coming in result
