ADF – Groovy for Total Sum of a Column in a Table

 ADF – Groovy for Total Sum of a Column in a Table

We will be looking in this article as how we can add Total of a column in a table. Very often we require to have total of a column in a table. For example , we might need total sum of Salary column in the table.

We will be leveraging power of Groovy in accomplishing this task.

So lets see how we can do this.

Use Case :- Add a Total Salary Attribute below Salary column in Employees Table.

Model Project

Considering that we have EmployeesView VO object which is based on Employees EO, go to attributes of VO and click add new attribute. Select “Add new Attribute”. It will by default be transient. Give this attribute  name as TotalSal.

Now go to View Accessors tab and click on green + sign to create new View Accessor.

Select EmployeesView from the first window and shuttle it so that you can see like below.

Do ok and it should be like below screenshot.

Now go to attributes tab and select the new transient attribute (TotalSal).

Give its Default value as Expression and give Groovy expression as EmployeesView1.sum(“Salary”) .

View Project

Create a new page. Drag and Drop EmployeesVO from data control and create a new read only table “without” TotalSal Attribute.

Now go to Salary Column in Structure and do a right click and select footer from facet as shown below.

Now from EmployeesView1 in DataControl, drag and drop TotalSal column in this new footer facet.

Now go to bindings and create a new binding for this variable.

 And change the value of footer output text with this binding.

Save all and run this page.

Hope this was useful.

How to specify min/max date value for an inputDate component.

 Very often in projects, you get a requirement to restrict an user from selecting a date value before today's date and sometimes restrict an user from selecting a date value beyond today's date. In this blog post, I will explain you with simple steps how to achieve this feature using min and max values of an inputDate component.

1. minValue attribute: the minimum value allowed for a date value.
You can use this attribute to disable past dates before today's date by following below steps.

Step1: Drag and drop an inputDate component on a page.

Step2:  Define a managed bean variable minDate and override the getter of this variable as mentioned below. Here we are setting the minDate date variable to current date.

    public Date getMinDate() {
        try {
            Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
            java.util.Date date = cal.getTime();
            DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
            String currentDate = formatter.format(date);
            maxDate = formatter.parse(currentDate);
            return formatter.parse(currentDate);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }

Step3: Go to inputDate component and set the minValue attribute to the managed bean variable created in step 2.

                <af:inputDate label="Min Value" id="id1"
                            value=""
                            minValue="#{pageFlowScope.TestBean.minDate}"
                            autoSubmit="true">
                </af:inputDate>

Run the page and see that all the past dates before today's date(6th Dec, 2016) are disabled.  

2. maxValue attribute: the maximum value allowed for a date value.
You can use this attribute to disable future dates after today's date by following below steps.

Step1: Drag and drop an inputDate component on a page.

Step2:  Define a managed bean variable maxDate and override the getter of this variable as mentioned below. Here we are setting the maxDate date variable to current date.

    public Date getMaxDate() {
        try {
            Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
            java.util.Date date = cal.getTime();
            DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
            String currentDate = formatter.format(date);
            maxDate = formatter.parse(currentDate);
            return formatter.parse(currentDate);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }

Step3: Go to inputDate component and set the maxValue attribute to the managed bean variable created in step 2.

                <af:inputDate label="Min Value" id="id1"
                            value=""
                            maxValue="#{pageFlowScope.TestBean.maxDate}"
                            autoSubmit="true">
                </af:inputDate>

Run the page and see that all the future dates after today's date(6th Dec, 2016) are disabled.
