Sometimes user needs to create View Object based on procedure or function which returns Ref cursor. For this type of requirement ADF framework provides programmatic VO option. In this tutorial I’ll explain you how we can create View Object using Cursor.
To create programmatic View Object you have to override following methods of View Object Impl Class.
1. create()
2. executeQueryForCollection()
3. hasNextForCollection()
4. createRowFromResultSet()
5. getQueryHitCount()
6. protected void releaseUserDataForCollection()
Here I’m using a function which returns Ref Cursor
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION HR.FUNC_returncursor
RETURN SYS_REFCURSOR
AS
REF_TEST SYS_REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
OPEN REF_TEST FOR
SELECT employee_id,first_name,phone_number,salary
FROM employees;
RETURN REF_TEST;
END;
To create the read-only programmatic view object:
1. In the Application Navigator, right-click the project in which you want to create the view object and choose New.
2. In the New Gallery, expand Business Tier, select ADF Business Components and then View Object, and click OK.
3. In the Create View Object wizard, in the Name page, provide a name and package for the view object. For the data source, select Rows populated programmatically, not based on a query.
4. In the Attributes page, click New one or more times to define the view object attributes your programmatic view object requires.
5. In the Attribute Settings page, adjust any setting you may need to for the attributes you defined.
6. In the Java page, select Generate View Object Class to enable a custom view object class (ViewObjImpl) to contain your code.
7. Click Finish to create the view object.
