Recently I'm working in an application where JPA entity has a named query with parameters passed to that query and exposed as EJB data control, here parameter is passed dynamically at run time. Now same data control is dropped as ADF table, where user can add new rows to the table and perform merge/persist operations.
JPA API provides an alternative way for defining JPA queries, which is mainly useful for building dynamic queries whose exact structure is only known at run time. Building a dynamic query based on fields that a user fills at run time in a form that contains many optional fields.
In this article, I'm trying to Simulate JPA Dynamic Query Using View Criteria to filter ADF Table and perform merge/persist operations on ADF Table. Below solution is the workaround to achieve the above scenario using EJB data control.
In EJB data control doesn't create any application module or neither have access to application module Api's directly. When the ViewObject is accessed based on the Iterator a dummy object is created using DCDataVo Api. DCDataVo provides little leverage to access certain model layer functionality, so that all Adapter Data Control can use the DCDataVo api to extend to build custom features.
You can download the sample workspace from here
[Runs with Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.2.0.0 (11g R2) + HR Schema]
Implementation Steps
Create Fusion Web Application with entities based on Emplo, then create a session bean and data control for the session bean.
In the ViewController create index.jspx page and create a IndexBean.java as backing bean, follow the below steps:
Run the index.jspx page and result page looks like below.
Now enter department Id in input text field and click on search button, Employees table will be filtered by department id. Now click on create button to add new rows to the particular searched department, notice a new row is created in the table. Enter the field values and save the record, here if you want to generate employee id as auto generated one then configure @Table Generator for employee id.

Implementation Steps
Create Fusion Web Application with entities based on Emplo, then create a session bean and data control for the session bean.
In the ViewController create index.jspx page and create a IndexBean.java as backing bean, follow the below steps:
- From data control palette drag and drop EmployeesFindAll()->Table as ADF Table.
- Drop EmployeesFindAll()->Operations->Create as ADF Button, name as "Commit".
- Drop the persistEmployees as ADF button and bind the value to "#{bindings.employeesFindAllIterator.currentRow.dataProvider}"
- From component palette drop Input Text and label as "Department Id"
- Drop Button, name as "Search" and ActionListener method as "executeSearch"
/**
* This method will get the View Object based on Iterator
* Creates the view crietria at the runtime,
* Set the Operator type and pass the paramater
* Execute the View Object, print results to the web screen.
* @param actionEvent
*/
public void executeSearch(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
DCBindingContainer dcBindings = (DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
DCIteratorBinding deptIter = dcBindings.findIteratorBinding("employeesFindAllIterator");
// Getting the dummy ViewObject based on Iterator
ViewObject vo = deptIter.getViewObject();
// Create the viewCriteria at runtime
ViewCriteria vc = vo.createViewCriteria();
ViewCriteriaRow vcRow = vc.createViewCriteriaRow();
// ViewCriteriaRow attribute value requires operator and value.
// Note also single-quotes around string value.
ViewCriteriaItem vcRowItem = vcRow.ensureCriteriaItem("departmentId");
vcRowItem.setOperator("=");
vcRowItem.getValues().get(0).setValue(this.getDeptId().getValue());
vc.addElement(vcRow);
vo.applyViewCriteria(vc);
// Execute the query
vo.executeQuery();
}Run the index.jspx page and result page looks like below.
Now enter department Id in input text field and click on search button, Employees table will be filtered by department id. Now click on create button to add new rows to the particular searched department, notice a new row is created in the table. Enter the field values and save the record, here if you want to generate employee id as auto generated one then configure @Table Generator for employee id.
