WCS

#{WCAppContext.currentWebCenterURI}

Returns a URL representing the current web request with bookmarkable WebCenter Spaces URL parameters of the request appended to the end (parameters are not necessarily in a fixed order).

Example:

http://name.us.oracle.com/webcenter/faces/oracle/webcenter/page/scopedMD/someguid/SomePage.jspx?
wc.contextURL=/spaces/somename&wc.pageScope=1234

WCS

WCS

#{WCAppContext.application.applicationConfig.skin}

Returns the name of the default ADF Faces skin family to use for rendering pages in the application (as configured through WebCenter Administration settings).

This expression represents only the application-level setting that may not necessarily be used in all web requests. For example, you cannot use it successfully if a user has chosen to override the skin through application Preferences (for more information, see Chapter 35, "Setting Your Personal Preferences").

WCS

#{requestContext.skinFamily}

Returns the name of the ADF Faces skin family being used for the current web request, depending on factors such as what has been configured at the application level, the current user's preference setting, and so on.

Returns the same value as #{adfFacesContext.skinFamily}.

Both

#{security.authenticated}

Navigation Context Expressions

#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel}

Returns default navigation model. It gets the value from the preference bean. The preference bean gets the value based on the preference setting in adf-config.xml, static value.

The following example returns the specified default tree model:

#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.defaultTreeModel}

You can also use defaultMenuModel and defaultListModel (see next listing).

#{navigationContext.currentNavigationModel}

Returns the navigation model used to navigate to the current view (that is, the current page)

There may be a number of navigation models on the page. Only the one used to navigate to the page is the current navigation model.

The current navigation model is set only when the processAction is called.

The following example returns the default tree model for the current navigation model:

#{navigationContext.currentNavigationModel.defaultTreeModel}

You can also use defaultMenuModel and defaultListModel.

See Also: #{navigationContext.processAction}.

#{navigationContext.navigationModel['model_path']}

Returns the navigation model specified by path.

Example:

#{navigationContext.navigationModel['/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/navigations/default-navigation-model']}

User can simply enter the path in the square bracket without having to remember the parameter name. For backward compatibility, comma-separated parameters are also supported. Available parameters (with examples) are:

• modelPath=/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/navigations/default-navigation-model

• modelScope=/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/navigation

• modelId=default-navigation-model

Note: modelScope and modelId are used together, for example:

#{navigationContext.navigationModel['modelScope=/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/navigations,modelId=default-navigation-model']}

#{navigationContext.processAction}

Returns the default navigation method for binding to UI component's actionListener attribute. This assumes that the target resource to navigate to is passed in through the action UI component's node or path attribute.

The node attribute is typically used for the iterative case; while the path attribute is typically used to create a static link. If both are specified, the node attribute is used. Note that when using the path attribute, you must also specify the model attribute to pass in the navigation model object. If the model attribute is not specified, the current navigation model is used.

Example using the node attribute:

<af:forEach var="node" varStatus="vs"
 items="#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.rootNode.children}">
  <af:subform id="pt_sfm1">
   <af:commandLink id="pt_cl1"
    text="#{node.title}"
    inlineStyle="font-size:small;color:White;"
    actionListener="#{navigationContext.processAction}"
    action="pprnav">
   <f:attribute name="node" value="#{node}"/>
    <af:showPopupBehavior popupId="menuPopup"
     align="afterStart"
     triggerType="mouseOver"/>
  </af:commandLink>

Example using the path attribute:

<af:commandLink id="pt_cl1" text="Prescriptions"
  inlineStyle="font-size:small; color:White;"
  actionListener="#{navigationContext.processAction}"
  action="pprnav">
<f:attribute name="path" value="/prescriptions"/>
<f:attribute name="model"   value="#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel}"/>
</af:commandLink>

Navigation Model Expressions

#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.defaultTreeModel}

#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.defaultMenuModel}

#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.defaultListModel}

#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.defaultSiteMap}

Returns a tree/menu/list model based on the default settings

The default values for the settings are specified in the next row. For example, the default value for depth is 0.

For defaultSiteMap, it returns the XML for the sitemap of the navigation based on the default settings.

This expression returns a model of type:

• ChildPropertyTreeModel—used in <af:tree> component

• ChildPropertyMenuModel—used in <af:breadcrumbs> or <af:menu> component

• List<NavigationResource>—used in <af:foreach>

#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.treeModel['parameters']}

#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.menuModel['parameters']}

#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.listModel['parameters']}

#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.siteMap['parameters']}

Returns tree/menu/list model based on the specified comma-separated parameters. Available parameters (with default values as examples) are:

• startNode=/—specify the starting node of the model (do not need "/" prefix unless requesting the root node, for example, home).

• includeStartNode=true—specify true if you want to include the starting node (for example, the root node above) or false to start from its children.

• depth=0—defines the initial depth of fetching. "0" means fetch the entire tree, which may take a long time. In which case, use "1" to fetch on demand (when users click the Expand icon).

• prefetchOnly=false—by default (true), it returns nodes up to the depth level requested initially; deeper level nodes are returned on demand. Use false if you want only the initial sets of nodes. In which case, it does not return deeper nodes later on when requested, even when there are deeper nodes.

For siteMap, the available parameters are startNode and includeStartNode.

Example:

#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.treeModel['startNode=home,includeStartNode=false,depth=2']}

#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.rootNode}

Returns a root node (of type NavigationResource) of the navigation model.

Example:

<af:commandLink id="pt_cl1" text="Prescriptions"
  inlineStyle="font-size:small; color:White;"
  actionListener="#{navigationContext.processAction}"
  action="pprnav">
 <f:attribute name="node"
    value="#{navigationContext.
    defaultNavigationModel.
    rootNode.children[2]"/>
</af:commandLink>

#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.node['path']}

Returns a node (of type NavigationResource) based on the path specified (you do not need "/" prefix unless you are requesting the root node, for example, '/')

Example:

#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.node['home/page1']}

#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.currentSelection}

Returns currently selected navigation resource.

#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.newCurrentSelection['path']}

Sets the current selection to a node specified by the given path (you do not need "/" prefix unless you are requesting the root node, for example, '/'). If successful, returns the newly selected node of type NavigationResource.

The user must have the ability to explicitly set the current selection without having to actually navigate to a node.

This can be used where the user enters a page directly, and no selection is set. It provides a mechanism for the user to control what is the default when there is no current selection.

Example:

<c:set  value="${navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.newCurrentSelection['home/page1']}"
 var="currSel" scope="session"/>
<c:if test="${currSel!=null}">
 <af:forEach items="#{currSel.children}"
  var="cnode" varStatus="cnodestatus">
...</c:if>

#{spaceContext.spacesQuery.unionOf['USER_JOINED'].shape['RECURSIVE_FLATTENED'].listSpaces}

Returns a list of all Spaces of which the current user is a member

This EL also returns all the Subspaces under each of the parent Spaces to which the current user has access.

#{spaceContext.spacesQuery.unionOf['ALL_QUERIABLE'].sortCriteria[sortBy fields picked from WcSpaceHeader]}

Returns Spaces sorted into the order specified by the sort criteria

For example, the following query returns a list of Spaces to which the user has access sorted by discoverable and lastUpdateDate fields.

Note that in the following example, the idenitifier sp represents the JPA entity for a space, WcSpaceHeader.

#{spaceContext.spacesQuery.unionOf['ALL_QUERIABLE'].sortCriteria['sp.discoverable, sp.lastUpdateDate desc'].listSpaces}

#{spaceContext.spacesQuery.unionOf['ALL_QUERIABLE'].pageNumber[page_num].listSpaces}

Allows specifying the page number (0-based) to select from the results matching the query criteria

For example, the following expression returns a list of all Spaces to whichc a user has access and returns the third page of the result set:

#{spaceContext.spacesQuery.unionOf['ALL_QUERIABLE'].pageNumber[2].listSpaces]}

#{spaceContext.spacesQuery.unionOf['ALL_QUERIABLE'].itemsPerPage[page_num].listSpaces}

Allows specifying the number of results to be included in each page when breaking down the result space into pages

For example, the following expression returns a list of all Spaces to which a user has access, listing 10 records per page.

#{spaceContext.spacesQuery.unionOf['ALL_QUERIABLE'].pageNumber[10].listSpaces]}
