Java Development Tools

This is one of those situations where something that should take an hour ends up taking days.

* I have a view.
* The view has Bind Variables associated with it.
* The view has View Criteria associated with it.
* Each of the View Criteria use different Bind Variables.

* I have a search criteria input page that receives from the user what will ultimately be used to set the bind variables.
* I have a search results page that uses the view to display a table.

* I have the code that dynamically sets view criteria and parameters. It is based on the following:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/b31974/bcadvvo.htm#BCGFHAGA

* This code works great, until the iterator associated with the table binding to the view is initialized. At that time, the view is reset to its defaults, and all of my code's doings are discarded. How do I know this? Because I have gone so far as to run my code that sets view criteria and binding variables dynamically in a phase event handler for the search results page in the render response phase. There is no other point at which to dynamically modify the view.

This is turning into a situation where it seems I will need 5 different views and 5 different pages in order to show a single set of query results. I cannot get dynamically applied view criteria to work in an ADF web app. Has anyone else done it? Can anyone relate to this? Are there any other suggestions before I conclude that it's not possible for this framework to handle this simple scenario?

Thanks
