Master Table, inline detail table and Range Navigation
35442Jun 3 2006 — edited Dec 3 2006I've started a new page using "ADF Master Table, inline detail table..." when dropping an iterator onto the page. The default behaviour works fine and presents a table with "Details" buttons for each row, that expand to show an inline table with the corresponding children. Very slick!
The jspx page is defined with:
<af:table ....>
<af:column ...>
<f:face name="detailStamp">
<af:table ...>
The problem is that I have conditions where the master table may return very large result sets and so I would like to enable range navigation. However, when I attempt to add it, by setting the "rows" attribute, I it just doesn't work. Despite having it configured, the same as pages that work fine, it just never shows the range navigation widgets. The only difference seems to be that this pageDef is based on a "tree" binding instead of a table binding.
Coincidently, Rob Clevenger just blogged about this feature (http://www.robsite.org) and was able to get selection on the master working. I also got that part working.
I thought I remember reading somewhere that tree binding objects could not support range navigation, but now I can't find that anywhere. Is that true? Should this be working?
One of the next issues will be, what kind of control is allowed on the nested detail? Sorting by column selection? Row selection (one and many) ? Range Navigation?
