I hope this is interesting ... implementing a watch in OA Framework page.There can be several other functionalities, one can do after implementing this watch.Here i am just writing a simple function for javascript watch,you can take an idea.... and change this function accordingly.
Just read this function.....
/* Here is the javascript function, which is self explainatory
Read this function carefully
to understand it.*/
function update()
{
//Define a new date object
var today=new Date();
var hours=today.getHours();
var minutes=today.getMinutes();
var seconds=today.getSeconds();
//for formatting output
if (hours<10)
hours="0"+hours;
if (minutes<10)
minutes="0"+minutes;
if (seconds<10)
seconds="0"+seconds;
//writing output to message text input
document.getElementByID('OAclockDisplay').value=hours+":"+minutes+":"+seconds;
//refreshing ever sec
setTimeout("update()",1000);
}
I hope this clear. Now here are the steps how you can put it in your OA Framework page.Add a message text input to your page, say its id is "OAclockDisplay".
Now add this code in process request of controller of page:
//storing javascript function is a string
// "\" is used as escape character
String s="function update(){var today=new Date();var hours=today.getHours();var minutes=today.getMinutes();var seconds=today.getSeconds();if(hours<10){hours=\"0\"+hours;} if(minutes<10){minutes=\"0\"+minutes;} if(seconds<10){seconds=\"0\"+seconds;} document.getElementById('OAclockDisplay').value=hours+\":\"+minutes+\":\"+seconds;setTimeout(\"update()\",1000);}";
//getting body bean
OABodyBean bodyBean = (OABodyBean)pageContext.getRootWebBean();
//attaching javascript function to page
pageContext.putJavaScriptFunction("update",s);
// calling this function on load of body bean
String javaS = "javascript:update();";
bodyBean.setOnLoad(javaS);
We are done, run this page you will be able to see a watch in oa framework page in that particular message text input.
Cheers!

For that u need to use raw text bean with same js function, an u can use document.write() to write time in ur recursive function that i have given.
