Jdeveloper 11.1.1.7 : ADF Pagination not working when detailStamp table used.

Please refer to my previous blog for making pagination work with Simple Table component. However , If we try to add child table to detailStamp of table facet then pagination will stop working.

I have used Oracle HR schema and created following structure. I have made Employee as main table and inside detailStamp I have added Department table.

As you can see Pagination works , But as soon as you click arrow to expand the row to see the Department for employee It will disappear.

After I expanded any particular Employee to see department records Pagination bar went away. Even If I minimize the employee It will not come back.

Jdeveloper 11.1.1.7 : ADF Pagination for Simple Table

Oracle has introduced Pagination feature in 11.1.1.7 Jdeveloper and It is very exciting news for many customer ,so they can have a choice between scrolling or page based options.

Thanks to Frank for posting with extra details here

To make pagination work with table component of ADF following property need to be populated.

authoHeightRow property need to be set to 0 (Try to remote this property ,It will not work)
Surrounding container provides floating layout and does not stretch (using PanelGroupLayout)
Table can be in shape by using styleClass=”AFStretchWidth”

Changes

scrollPolicy=”page” autoHeightRow=”0” and styleClass=”AFStretchWidth”

ADF GUI : Call method when you click Ok on Dialog

I have seen many times developers just write code in listener without comparing what action was taken on user interface component.

In this case , I am talking about ADF Faces Dialog component. I am executing the logic only if OK button is clicked.

 <af:dialog id="dialog1"                   
            dialogListener="#{Bean.method}"/>
public void method(DialogEvent event{
        // okCancel dialog
        if (event.getOutcome().equals(DialogEvent.Outcome.ok)){
            //Logic
        }
}

ADF GUI : PanelGridLayout in PS6

Don’t forget to research on PanelGrid Layout , It solves lot of complex GUI layout for arranging component on User Interface.

It will remind you of HTML table (Td,tr)

ADF BC : Check your ADF Page is dirty

If you move from one page to another in ADF application and want to verify whether data is modified or not. you can use the following api for ADF.

DataControlFrame dataCtrlFrame = bindingCtx.findDataControlFrame(bindingCtx.getCurrentDataControlFrame());
Collection<DCDataControl> dataCol = dataCtrlFrame.datacontrols();
for (DCDataControl dcDaCtrl : dataCol) {
if (!dcDaCtrl.getName().equals("DataControlName1") && !dcDaCtrl.getName().equals("DataControlname2"))
    dirty = dCDataControl.isTransactionDirty() == true ? return true : false;
}
