Sorry, I think I hastily sent you the previous message. I will work through your article and see how it goes. Will post another message if I get stuck.

You mentioned “Linking the tree node action to a backing bean method that uses the setCurrentRowWithKey operation is perhaps the most complex step “. Any pointers on this?

Also what about traversing through the main form/table which inturn highlights the selected node record in the tree???

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

I am new to JDeveloper and infact new to java. I am currently working on a simple prototype for an application that searches, updates, adds data to tables.

I have a page developed in jdeveloper (without jheadstart) that has an adf tree on the left hand side and a form with navigational/create/submit buttons on the main panel. Both are coming from the same view. This was the easy bit.

I had a look through your article (http://technology.amis.nl/blog/?p=1306) which talks about a helper bean. I am unable to compile this class due to errors in “import javax.faces.application.Application;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext; as well as due to no code in action() “ public String action() { … }”. Is it the helper bean that handles the link between the tree and the form/table? Do you have sample code for the bean that uses the setCurrentRowWithKey operation.

Also what about traversing through the main form/table wich nturn highlights the selected node record in the tree???

I would be very greatful if you could provide some assistance.

Thanking You

Of course you can. JHeadstart is a combination of a generator that generates ADF Faces pages we could also code by hand and a run-time library in Java that performs a number of supporting tasks – that we can code ourselves as well.

There is nothing in JHeadstart that is magic, Oracle internal stuff. You can do the same things!

Creating a tree is standard JDeveloper – ADF Faces and ADF Model drag & drop functionality. Changing the tree node to be an actionable link is described in my article. Embedding the tree in a page that also contains a table component is a piece of cake. Linking the tree node action to a backing bean method that uses the setCurrentRowWithKey operation on the iterator backing the table is perhaps the most complex step – but again no magic is involved.

Good luck!

Here you are relying on jheadstart. Can you achieve the same functionality without jheadstart. (Selecting a node in the tree to automatically navigate to the correct record in the table or form on the detail frame of the pag

I’ve sent a mail to infoATamis.nl.
Could you contact me please, my company needs some expertise and i’d like to work with you.

Thanks a lot,
