Requirement – To give training on ADF, I need to install Oracle XE database.so i will let you how to do it.

Solution-
Open oracle site.When you download the software from Oracle, you’ll need an account and you’ll need to accept.This is valid for all 32 bit machine.

After accepting the license agreement you can download the software.you’ll need to explode the zip file and write it to a directory. When you write it to a directory, it looks like the following and you double click on the setup.msi file.

You should see this console when you launch Get Started or manually type http://localhost:8080/apex.

convert af:inputText to upperCase,lowerCase,capitalize in Oracle ADF

Requirement- We need to show value in input text into uppercase,lower or capitalize.There is a way to do this by setting contentStyle of the input text.

For UpperCase- <af:inputText label="name" id="it1" contentStyle="text-transform:uppercase;"/>



For LowerCase- <af:inputText label="name" id="it1" contentStyle="text-transform:lowercase;"/>


For InitCap-  <af:inputText label="name" id="it1" contentStyle="text-transform:capitalize;"/>

Note: – This is only used in displaying.When you commit, it will save as what user entered in the input text.

Using Java script –

<af:resource type="javascript">
  function changeToUpper(event) {
      var inputComp = event.getCurrentTarget();
      inputComp.setValue(inputComp.getSubmittedValue().toUpperCase());
  }
</af:resource>

<af:inputText value="#{bindings.EmpName.inputValue}"
    label="#{bindings.EmpName.hints.label}"
    columns="#{bindings.EmpName.hints.displayWidth}"
    shortDesc="#{bindings.EmpName.hints.tooltip}" id="it2"
    clientComponent="true">
 <f:validator binding="#{bindings.EmpName.validator}"/>
 <af:clientListener type="keyUp" method="changeToUpper"/>
</af:inputText>

It will trigger the javascript function which will fetch value of inputText and set to upper case.

Another way of doing this.Override voImpl method like below

public void setEmpName(String value) {
setAttributeInternal(EmpName, value.toUpperCase());
}
