Import Data from Excel sheet to DB Table through OAF page

1. Create a New Workspace and Project

File > New > General > Workspace Configured for Oracle Applications

File Name – MahiImportxlsDemo

Automatically a new OA Project will also be created

Project Name -- ImportxlsDemo

Default Package -- Mahi.oracle.apps.fnd.importxlsdemo

2. Add JAR file jxl-2.6.3.jar to Apache Library

Download jxl-2.6.3.jar from following link –

http://www.findjar.com/jar/net.sourceforge.jexcelapi/jars/jxl-2.6.jar.html

Steps to add jxl.jar file in Local Machine

Right Click on ImportxlsDemo > Project Properties > Libraries > Add jar/Directory and browse
to directory where jxl-2.6.3.jar has been downloaded and select the JAR file
Steps to add jxl.jar file at EBS middle tier

On your EBS middle tier copy jxl.jar at $FND_TOP/java/3rdparty/standalone

Add $FND_TOP/java/3rdparty/standalone\jxl.jar to custom class path in Jser.properties file

which is at $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc

wrapper.classpath=/U01/oracle/dev/mahiappldev/fnd/11.5.0/java/3rdparty/stdalone/jxl.ja
r

Bounce Apache Server

3. Create a New Application Module (AM)

Right Click on ImportxlsDemo > New > ADF Business Components > Application Module

Name -- ImportxlsAM

Package -- Mahi.oracle.apps.fnd.importxlsdemo.server

Check Application Module Class: ImportxlsAMImpl Generate JavaFile(s)

4. Create Test Table in which we will insert data from excel

CREATE TABLE xx_import_excel_data_demo

( -- --------------------
-- Data Columns
-- --------------------
column1 VARCHAR2(100),
column2 VARCHAR2(100),
column3 VARCHAR2(100),
column4 VARCHAR2(100),
column5 VARCHAR2(100),
-- --------------------
-- Who Columns
-- --------------------
last_update_date DATE NOT NULL,
last_updated_by NUMBER NOT NULL,
creation_date DATE NOT NULL,
created_by NUMBER NOT NULL,
last_update_login NUMBER
);

5. Create a New Entity Object (EO)

Right click on ImportxlsDemo > New > ADF Business Components > Entity Object

Name – ImportxlsEO

Package -- Mahi.oracle.apps.fnd.importxlsdemo.schema.server

Database Objects -- XX_IMPORT_EXCEL_DATA_DEMO

Note – By default ROWID will be the primary key if we will not make any column to be
primary key

Check the Accessors, Create Method, Validation Method and Remove Method

6. Create a New View Object (VO)

Right click on ImportxlsDemo > New > ADF Business Components > View Object

Name -- ImportxlsVO

Package -- Mahi.oracle.apps.fnd.importxlsdemo.server

In Step2 in Entity Page select ImportxlsEO and shuttle it to selected list

In Step3 in Attributes Window select all columns and shuttle them to selected list

In Java page Uncheck Generate Java file for View Object Class: ImportxlsVOImpl

Select Generate Java File for View Row Class: ImportxlsVORowImpl -> Generate Java File ->
Accessors

7. Add Your View Object to Root UI Application Module

Right click on ImportxlsAM > Edit ImportxlsAM > Data Model >

Select ImportxlsVO and shuttle to Data Model list

8. Create a New Page

Right click on ImportxlsDemo > New > Web Tier > OA Components > Page

Name -- ImportxlsPG
Package -- Mahi.oracle.apps.fnd.importxlsdemo.webui

9. Select the ImportxlsPG and go to the strcuture pane where a default region has been
created

10. Select region1 and set the following properties:

Attribute Property

ID PageLayoutRN

AM Definition Mahi.oracle.apps.fnd.importxlsdemo.server.ImportxlsAM

Window Title Import Data From Excel through OAF Page Demo Window

Title Import Data From Excel through OAF Page Demo

11. Create messageComponentLayout Region Under Page Layout Region

Right click PageLayoutRN > New > Region

Attribute Property

ID MainRN

Item Style messageComponentLayout

12. Create a New Item messageFileUpload Bean under MainRN

Right click on MainRN > New > messageFileUpload

Set Following Properties for New Item --

 Attribute Property

ID MessageFileUpload

Item Style messageFileUpload

13. Create a New Item Submit Button Bean under MainRN

Right click on MainRN > New > messageLayout

Set Following Properties for messageLayout --

Attribute Property

ID ButtonLayout

Right Click on ButtonLayout > New > Item

Attribute Property

ID Go

Item Style submitButton

Attribute Set /oracle/apps/fnd/attributesets/Buttons/Go

14. Create Controller for page ImportxlsPG

Right Click on PageLayoutRN > Set New Controller

Package Name: Mahi.oracle.apps.fnd.importxlsdemo.webui

Class Name: ImportxlsCO

Write Following Code in ImportxlsCO in processFormRequest

import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAApplicationModule;
import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException;
import java.io.Serializable;
import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.OAControllerImpl;

{
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);

if (pageContext.getParameter("Go") != null)
{
DataObject fileUploadData =
(DataObject)pageContext.getNamedDataObject("MessageFileUpload");
String fileName = null;

try
{
fileName = (String)fileUploadData.selectValue(null, "UPLOAD_FILE_NAME");
}
catch(NullPointerException ex)
{
throw new OAException("Please Select a File to Upload", OAException.ERROR);
}

BlobDomain uploadedByteStream = (BlobDomain)fileUploadData.selectValue(null, fileName);

try
{
OAApplicationModule oaapplicationmodule = pageContext.getRootApplicationModule();
Serializable aserializable2[] = {uploadedByteStream};
Class aclass2[] = {BlobDomain.class };
oaapplicationmodule.invokeMethod("ReadExcel", aserializable2,aclass2);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new OAException(ex.toString(), OAException.ERROR);
}
 }
}
