Personalization and Creating Custom DFF in OAF

Scenario: To capture additional candidate details in iRecruitment Candidate Page.


Approach: Created a custom DFF and integrated/add the DFF in a new region of Candidate Page.

 This DFF is created on a custom table (xx_per_candidate_attr) as above which has personID and Attribute1 to Attribute30 as columns.



Custom OAF Region Code to enable the DFF:

Create a VO for the custom table(xx_per_candidate_attr) and name it as xx_per_candidate_attrVO.




In CO:


public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
{
super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);


OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);


Number person_id= (Number)pageContext.getRootApplicationModule().invokeMethod("getCachedPersonId");


Serializable[] personParam = { person_id.toString() };
am.invokeMethod("initQuery",personParam);
}






In AM:
Create a method as below in AM which is called from CO

public void initQuery(String person_id)
{
Row hrow;


xx_per_candidate_attrVOImpl vo=get xx_per_candidate_attrVO1();
vo.setWhereClauseParams(null);
vo.setWhereClauseParam(0,person_id);

if(!vo.isPreparedForExecution())


{ vo. executeQuery(); }
hrow=vo.createRow();
vo.insertRow(hrow);
hrow.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
}


Custom XML Region:
Create an item of type FLEX and enter the below details

Item Id : candidateDFF
Item Type : FLEX
Name : XX_PER_CANDIDATE
Prompt: Country Details
ViewName: XX_PER_CANDIDATE_ATTRVO1
APPLICATION : PER

When you open your RN XML file you will find the details as below,



To make the DFF read only we have to set the readonly flag as true , when done you will see the xml as below,







For Readonly mode of DFF we have to follow the below coding:

In AM:
public void initQuery(String person_id)

{
Row hrow;


XXApplicantDetailsVOImpl vo=getXXApplicantDetailsVO1();
vo.setWhereClauseParams(null);
vo.setWhereClauseParam(0,person_id);

if(!vo.isPreparedForExecution())
{
vo. executeQuery();
}


hrow=vo.first();


if( hrow != null )
{
vo.insertRow(hrow);
hrow.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
}else
{
hrow=vo.createRow();
vo.insertRow(hrow);
hrow.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
}
}


Personalization : Through personalization we have to add this region in the corresponding page.
