Show live progress of a long running task using af:progressIndicator in Oracle ADF

This post is about using af:progressIndicator to show live status of a particular task
af:progressIndicator state is tracked and maintained by it's value property that supports org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.BoundedRangeModel
This class has two methods

public abstract long getMaximum() { }

returns Maximum value for Model

public abstract long getValue() { }

returns value for Model (current state)

Now to see live progress on page we have to refresh progressIndicator component periodically and this can be achieved using af:poll component , poll component delivers poll events to server periodically and we can ppr (refresh) progress indicator after a particular interval

Auto dismiss popup component with dialog- Oracle ADF

af:popup is container component for noteWindow, dialog, panelWinow, contextMenus, when we use popup with af:noteWindow, there is property autoDismissalTimeout is responsible for closing poup after some specific time.
But if we are using af:dialog in af:popup , how to close popup in this situation ?

Steps to do-

• Create a fragment in bounded taskFlow and drag a button on which we have to open popup.
• Drag a popup in page and showPopupBehavior inside button, pass id of popup and set trigger type to action to open poup on button click

•  Now drag a af:poll  component inside af:dialog

poll component delivers poll event to server at  fixed intervals, so we can use this property to fulfil our requirement .

  

• Select poll component in structure window and go to propertyInspector ,create poll listener  in managed bean and set Interval and Timeout to 4000 & 4001 (Timeout slightly greater than Interval time)-It means poll event delivers to server after 4000 ms or 4second

• Now bind popup component to your managed bean, inorder to control poup properties

• Close poup in pollListener(), means when after 4sec when poll event invoke server, it will close popup dialog automatically.
