apex HTML pass through not working


Pass through attribute doesn't generate proper html


 HTML Pass through provided by salesforce in VF pages has been very useful when working with javascript libraries, However while working on the same I came across a situation where Pass through attribute doesn't get passed to generated html if the binding variable is 'Currency' type. Below is the example.



Controller

1:  public Opportunity Oppty {get;set;}


VF page

1:  <apex:outputField value = '{!Oppty.Amount}' html-passedValue='XYZ'></apex:outputField>

Generated html
1:  <span id="j_id0:j_id1:j_id14">$20</span>



Hence you can see that the pass through attribute is not generated. However if you change the binding variable to any type other then Currency, pass through will start working. as shown below.

VF page

1:  <apex:outputField value = '{!Oppty.name}' html-passedValue='XYZ'></apex:outputField>


Generated html

1:  <span id="j_id0:j_id1:j_id14" passedValue='XYZ'>john's opportunity</span>



Hence conclusion is that whenever you bind CURRENCY type field to 'OutputField' element and try to pass 'html-*' attribute, it doesn't work.

Solution

I wrapped the outputField element with an outputPanel and provided the passthrough attribute to it and customized the Javascript accordingly.

 I have also raised this issue with salesforce community here. let's hope if get the answer.

IsVisibleInSelfService on Task salesforce

I was working on assignment which required me to access Tasks and show on customer portal. I written the apex code and fired SOQL, but to my surprise none of Tasks were fetched. I thought its a permission issue from profile or sharing access issue. However at the end I found that there is a field on task object called  IsVisibleInSelfService  which derives the visibility of the tasks for customer portals. Even Apex code can't find the task if this boolean field is not set to true. Probably its trivial information but usefull when you are not aware of this :)

Too many batch retries in the presence of Apex triggers and partial failures.

Too many batch retries in the presence of Apex triggers and partial failures If you write and execute batch scripts then some time you might end up with this error, which may be difficult to understand. However proper explanation is given in the Salesforce documentation as below. Bulk DML Exception Handling Exceptions that arise from a bulk DML call (including any recursive DML operations in triggers that are fired as a direct result of the call) are handled differently depending on where the original call came from: When errors occur because of a bulk DML call that originates directly from the  Apex  DML statements, or if the  all_or_none  parameter of a database DML method was specified as true, the runtime engine follows the “all or nothing” rule: during a single operation, all records must be updated successfully or the entire operation rolls back to the point immediately preceding the DML statement. When errors occur because of a bulk DML call that ...

Governor limit SOQL 101 being suppressed

System.LimitException: Too many SOQL queries: 101 Did anyone faced scenario where SOQL 101 governor limit is not being reported to user interface (UI), instead it is being logged into debug logs ? Please provide your thoughts in the comments if there exists any possible scenario. As far as I know, Governor limits can not be suppressed and will be shown to user on the UI. However I am facing below scenario where SOQL 101 limit is being logged into debug log and not being shown in the UI. 1.User converts the lead. 2.Account, Opportunity, Contact created. 3.User is successfully redirected to newly created account page. 4.All the references are correct. Like ConvertedAccountId, convertedOpptyId etc. When I go to the Debug logs, There SOQL 101 (System.LimitException: Too many SOQL queries: 101) is being shown. If dig more in the debug logs then I found that this exception came while Opportunity Before Update trigger. The question is, Since all this is happening in sing...
