Apply Filter on af:table column programmatically ,Invoke 'FilterableQueryDescriptor' through managed bean

Hello All
This tutorial is about a requirement of filtering af:table column through code,
to achieve this we can invoke FilterableQueryDescriptor (FilterableQueryDescriptor is an abstract subclass of QueryDescriptor. It adds support for filtering of data and is typically used by the table component to filter data from a query )

Suppose i have department table and i have to filter on department column-

• Create a Fusion Web Application and business components for Departments (HR Schema) table
• now drag table on page and bind it to bean

• Now drop a input text and button on page to enter Department Name
• bind input text to bean and create ActionListener on button to filter Department Table

Expand and Collapse an af:treeTable programmatically in ADF Faces (Oracle ADF)

Hello all,
this is simple tutorial about expanding and collapsing an af:treeTable using managed bean code (programmatically)
sometimes we need to expand or collapse treeTable on some button action or on valueChangeEvent.

Steps-

• Create binding of treeTable in managed bean

 private RichTreeTable soTreeTableBind;
     public void setSoTreeTableBind(RichTreeTable soTreeTableBind) {
        this.soTreeTableBind = soTreeTableBind;
    }

    public RichTreeTable getSoTreeTableBind() {
        return soTreeTableBind;
    }



• Now Call this method on any action to expand treeTable



private RowKeySet disclosedTreeRowKeySet = new RowKeySetImpl();






    /***Method to expand all tree table nodes*/
    private void expandTreeTable() {
        if (this.soTreeTableBind != null) {
            disclosedTreeRowKeySet = new RowKeySetImpl();
            CollectionModel model = (CollectionModel)soTreeTableBind.getValue();
            JUCtrlHierBinding treeBinding = (JUCtrlHierBinding)model.getWrappedData();
            JUCtrlHierNodeBinding rootNode = treeBinding.getRootNodeBinding();
            disclosedTreeRowKeySet = soTreeTableBind.getDisclosedRowKeys();
            if (disclosedTreeRowKeySet == null) {
                disclosedTreeRowKeySet = new RowKeySetImpl();
            }
            List<JUCtrlHierNodeBinding> firstLevelChildren = rootNode.getChildren();
            for (JUCtrlHierNodeBinding node : firstLevelChildren) {
                ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
                list.add(node.getRowKey());
                disclosedTreeRowKeySet.add(list);
                expandTreeChildrenNode(soTreeTableBind, node, list);
            }
            soTreeTableBind.setDisclosedRowKeys(disclosedTreeRowKeySet);
        }
    }
/**Method to expand childs*/
    private void expandTreeChildrenNode(RichTreeTable rt, JUCtrlHierNodeBinding node, List<Key> parentRowKey) {
        ArrayList children = node.getChildren();
        List<Key> rowKey;
        if (children != null) {
            for (int i = 0; i < children.size(); i++) {
                rowKey = new ArrayList<Key>();
                rowKey.addAll(parentRowKey);
                rowKey.add(((JUCtrlHierNodeBinding)children.get(i)).getRowKey());
                disclosedTreeRowKeySet.add(rowKey);
                if (((JUCtrlHierNodeBinding)(children.get(i))).getChildren() == null)
                    continue;
                expandTreeChildrenNode(rt, (JUCtrlHierNodeBinding)(node.getChildren().get(i)), rowKey);
            }
        }
    }



• To collapse treeTable ,use this code snippet on any event



    /**Collapse TreeTable
     * @param actionEvent
     */
    public void collapseTreeTableAction(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
        soTreeTableBind.getDisclosedRowKeys().clear();
        AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(soTreeTableBind);
    }

Refreshing Child Nodes of an af:treeTable / af:tree in Oracle ADF

Hello All,
A very common problem in ADF treeTable and tree is to refresh child nodes after any DML operation on tree.
to avoid this refresh problem developer can pragmatically refresh treeTable's child node.

• First get the master ViewObject on that treeTable is based
• if viewObject has any key attribute then filter it against a key for that you want to refresh child nodes
• if viewObject doesn't have any key attribute, then filter it using any unique key to get header(master) row
• get the rowset of child rows for that key, using viewlink accessor
• and execute query for Child Rows rowset
• see the refreshed child node :-)

Code- Using Key Attribute

// Get Master ViewObject
    ViewObjectImpl viewObj = masterViewObject;  
    // Filter It Using Key Attribute
  Row[] grpRow = vo.findByKey(new Key(new Object[] { keyAttribute Value }), 1);  
       // Get Child Rows using ViewLink Accessor
        if(grpRow.length>0){
        RowSet childRows = (RowSet)grpRow[0].getAttribute("viewLink AccessorName");  
  //Execute Child Rowset
        childRows.executeQuery();  
        }

Using Unique Key

      // Get Master ViewObject
    ViewObjectImpl viewObj = masterViewObject;  
    // Filter It Using Key Attribute
   Row[] grpRow=viewObj.getFilteredRows("uniqueKey", uniqueKey Value); 
       // Get Child Rows using ViewLink Accessor
        if(grpRow.length>0){
        RowSet childRows = (RowSet)grpRow[0].getAttribute("viewLink AccessorName");  
  //Execute Child Rowset
        childRows.executeQuery();  
        }
