XPages: How to acces an application scope bean from a session scope bean

1
votes

I need a value from my application scope managed bean in my session scope managed bean. Not sure how to get this done. Saw a poste here: https://guedebyte.wordpress.com/2012/05/19/accessing-beans-from-java-code-in-xpages-learned-by-reading-the-sourcecode-of-the-extensionlibrary/ But I get a bunch of errors... I also found this: JSF 2.0 Accessing Application Scope bean from another Bean so IM thinking maybe I need to redefine my application bean??? Totally clueless...

How can I make that happen?

Here is the application scope bean's code:

public class AppConfig implements Serializable { 

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 2768250939591274442L;

    public AppConfig() {
        initDefaults();
        initFromConfigDoc();
    }

    // Control the number of entries displayed in the widgets
    private int nbWidgetFavorites = 0;
    private int nbWidgetMostPopular = 0;
    private int nbWidgetToolbox = 0;
    // Control the number of entries to display in the What's new view
    private int nbWhatsNew = 0;
    private String showDetailsWhatsNew = "no";
    //controls various search options
    private int nbSearchResults = 0;
    private int nbMaxSearchResults = 0;
    //the home page to use for each language
    private String homePageUNID_FR = "";
    private String homePageUNID_EN = "";
    //application email address to use (webmaster)
    //  DEV ADDRESS
    private String appEmailAddress = "DEVTEAMTEST/DEV@DEVELOPMENTCORP";
    //  UAT ADDRESS
    //  PROD ADDRESS
    //path to the stats DB
    private String statsDB = "";
    //application message, if needed
    private String systemMessageFR = "";
    private String systemMessageEN = "";
    //default lang (defined here as session bean will read from the App bean first to
    //  see if there's a value stored there)
    private String defaultLang = "";
    //default prov
    private String defaultProv = "";
    // show Province drop down?
    private String showProv = "no";
    //various text for "share this link" emails
    private String senderEmail = "";
    private String senderName = "";
    private String appURL = "";
    private String emailText = "";
    private String clickLinkText = "";
    private String emailFooter = "";
    private String messageIntro = "";

The VariableResolver goes through all implicit variables (e.g. session, database) as well as scoped variables (e.g. applicationScope.myVar). Your bean is also accessed from SSJS via the VariableResolver.

So you can use:

ExtLibUtil.resolveVariable(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), "myAppScopeBean");

This is not a direct answer to your question...

An alternative would be to set the value you want in applicationScope and then access it this way from your bean. To access the entire bean directly is a different answer.

You use this code get a handle to your applicationScope.

FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext externalContext = facesContext.getExternalContext();
Map<String, Object> applicationScope = externalContext.getApplicationMap();

Then to use this you have code like this:

String agentLogDB = (String) applicationScope.get("LOGDB");
