SAPUI5 Smartform Fields Not Editable - sapui5

I have managed to setup a Smartform for update / delete purposes. Binding works alright, fields are visible but all of them are read only. Of course, form editable attribute is set to true.
OData model looks good:
creatable, updatable, and deletable flags are checked for the entity set
All fields have the creatable flag
All fields, except the keys, have the updatable flag in entity type.
Backend methods are in place and tested in the gateway client. Followed the steps required to clear the server cache (without being sure it's required) but situation remains the same.
Is there something that I'm missing or a place that I forgot to have a look here?

​Solution found and had nothing to do with my coding. It was all about closing SAP Personal Web IDE, stopping and restarting the Orion service, logging in again and just rerunning the application. Form behaves now as supposed without alerting a single line of code...

Setting a value in Frappe application isn't reflected in ERPNext GUI

I have added a 'number_of_members' value to the Customer DocType via customization.
In my application I have tried several ways to update the value. However the value never updates in the webpage. I feel like I'm missing some sort of save or update or commit step.
For example I have tried:
frappe.client.set_value('Customer', '00042', 'number_of_members', 8887)
frappe.set_value('Customer', '00042', 'number_of_members', 8887)
frappe.db.set_value('Customer', '00042', 'number_of_members', 8887)
and also
customer = frappe.get_doc('Customer', '00042')
customer.number_of_members = 8887
customer.save()
In each case I can do something like frappe.get_value, or frappe.get_doc and it shows the value is set to 8887. However it never updates in the web side. This is what makes me think I'm updating some sort of cache or database transaction and I need some way to save it, but have not had any luck.
I am mostly testing this via bench console if that has any bearing on it, but I've tried a couple of the methods in my application code as well.
Relevant documentation:
Frappe Developer API - Document
Frappe Developer API - Database
Turns out the answer is to call frappe.db.commit() after making changes. If someone can point this out in the documentation so I can better understand how I'm missing stuff, I would appreciate it.
I also noticed if you try to Save something in the UI before you send frappe.db.commit() the UI will hang.

MVC Default Edit View increments the id property of my model? Can't figure out why. .

I'm trying to learn web development, and I bet that this is a simple problem and that I'm overlooking something obvious.
In my default crud edit controller (generated using the MVC framework) I retrieve my model from a localDB instance using my EntityFramework's dbContext. That is sent to the View. In the debugger just before the controller call to return View(model) I can see that the Id is set to 2.
When the [post] edit controller is fired I see that the identity property is 3. I wanted to figure out why so I changed the View to display my Id property and I see that it is 3 as soon as I render the page. Last time I saw it the property was 2, now it is 3.
I don't know how to hook into any logic that would happen between the time I send off my model and when when the view is rendered.
Can anyone help me learn how to debug this so that I can figure out why my Id property is incremented when I pass the model into the view?
I don't know how EntityFramework works but I have worked with CakePHP. My advice is like this:
Usually PHP frameworks have debug mode which you can set in the configuration file (turn it on or off). Usually stack of operation executed is also displayed in debug mode or there is a simple way to do that. There's also for example in CakePHP exist function debug($yourVariable); try to search for sth. similar
It seams like not the edit happens but new row is inserted to the database. Check your database for this. I recommend to debug the id of the column being passed for edit action and check if there's the same id in the database first of all.
Hope something helps.
I figured it out. Posting here for anyone else that comes across my problem.
I tried dumping the whole model out without using any of the htmlhelper methods. (In my case I am uinging: Html.HiddenFor helper) When I did this I saw that the value in the model was what I expected it to be. So I began investigating why the helper methods might be broken. Google worked for me here :)
Turns out, when the helper methods run they first check the ModelState dictionary for the desired value. In my case I was looking for a value that was in my model object as well as the ModelState dictionary, because the name was very common: Id.
To fix the issue before I call return View(model) I call ModelState.Clear() in order to make sure there are no values in the dictionary that are in conflict. Doing this causes my page to be rendered correctly.

EF6 only lazy works from loaded context data

Using EF 6 rc 1
Code first
Lazy loading is enabled and proxy generation is allowed (defaults).
When attempting to access navigation properties, I am finding that:
- if the referenced object was already loaded into the DbContext in some manner, the navigation property will be populated
- if the referenced object was not already loaded, the navigation property will remain null. No query attempt is made to the SQL Server DB.
This applies to collections and objects. In all cases, I have verified that the navigation properties are marked virtual.
Is this expected behaviour? I have scroured every article I could find but have found no description of this (please provide links). If not expected behaviour, what could I be doing wrong?
Thank you!
EDIT:
Because I can't post the classes I have, I've tried to reproduce this into a simple example I would be comfortable posting. The simple example, however, works as expected. I have noticed one major difference between the working example and the non-working: my non-working application produces entities that are NOT proxies. This, even though proxy generation is allowed, and I am retrieving these objects from a new context (NOT the context they were created in). I can't post the non-working code, and there's no value in posting the working code. Theories explaining why proxy classes are not being generated would be welcome!
Turned out the reason the Proxy wrapper wasn't being created is because some of the classes had the default constructor marked internal. Simply changing them to protected allowed the Proxy to be created, which then enabled lazy loading. Though I found this to be pretty obscure it is documented here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/dd468057(v=vs.100).aspx

Stopping Ember.js Controller

My question is very basic on one hand but on the other hand the general situation is more complex, plus I cannot really get any working sample.
I'm developing/maintaing a web-application which is currently in transition from GWT code base into Ember.js.
Most of the newer code already relies on Ember.js and I think it's really awesome.
The problem is we cannot use Ember Router as all the request are being handled by the GWT.
In order to enabled the application run in this unusual configuration we have special JavaScript files that create our Ember main objects (Controllers & Models) for us.
As you can imagine navigation between tabs is cumbersome and is handled by GWT who creates Ember objects when needed. We are in transit toward a brave new world Ember Router and all.
But in the meantime, this is the problem I'm facing right now.
The user clicks a link which opens a page that contains some Ember based table.
The data is retrieved form the server using some Ajax code. Upon success it spawns a forEach loop which tries to pushObject all the received date into our Ember based components.
My problem happens when the user quickly switches between tabs. In this case the first list of object has not finished rendering yet and suddenly there's a new set of objects to handle. This causes Ember to throw errors like:
"Uncaught Error: Cannot perform operations on a Metamorph that is not in the DOM. "
and
"Uncaught NotFoundError: An attempt was made to reference a Node in a context where it does not exist."
Is it possible to prevent the loop from trying to render?
I've tried checking if the controller in question is already inDOM and it is, is there a way to notify Ember this object is no longer valid?
Sorry for a lengthy question and lack of running sample.
I'd probably modify the switch tab code to only execute afterRender has completed, that way you aren't mucking with ember objects while they are being used.
Ember.run.scheduleOnce('afterRender', this, function(){
// call GWT switch tab routine
});
Thank you Daniel and Márcio Rodrigues Correa Júnior. eventually what I did is to add a patch that would check the current context of the application (in my case the currently selected tab). If upon receiving the AJAX response the application is in the correct context (meaning the user haven't change the tab) go on. Otherwise just ignore the response and do not try to render it.
Now it seems to be working

How can Websphere PUMA SPI (PumaLocator) be used with an ICEfaces Portlet?

Symptoms:
PumaLocator is unusable, every findXXX-method returns empty results or throws an exception because nothing was found.
Analysis:
The problem seems that, due to the ICEfaces specific architecture, the method GenericPortlet.doView is invoked only for the first time the Portlet is loaded, and not for the following (AJAX) page updates, e.g. in case of a called ActionListener.
If I use PumaLocator inside the doView-method, everything works fine.
I tried the following attempts yet:
Get the PumaLocator in doView, put it into Session and use it later - didn't work
Get the RenderRequest in doView, put it into Session and use it later to get a PumaLocator by passing that request - didn't work
I would be very glad to have any hints. Thank you!
PUMA checks the authorization for results by using information found in the Context. You must add JavaEE security roles in the deployment descriptor for the AJAX backend servlets the ICEFaces uses. As a thumb of rule if request.getRemoteUser() and request.getUserPrincipal() return something besides null you know PUMA will work. Otherwise it will NOT work and that is intended behaviour.
Alternatively you can attempt to disable the security checks of PUMA like this.
