ADF : Filter View Object Rows

http://mahmoudoracle.blogspot.ca/2012/08/adf-filter-rows.html

1- Filter ViewObject

     //Get ViewObjectImpl object  
     ViewObjectImpl vo = getDeptVO();  
       
     //Filter using specific attribute value  
     Row[] filteredRows = vo.getFilteredRows("AttributeName", "AttributeValue");  
   
     //Filter using RowQualifier Class  
     //Use RowQualifier if you have more than one condition in filtering rows  
     RowQualifier rowQualifier = new RowQualifier(vo);  
     rowQualifier.setWhereClause("AttributeName=AttributeValue");  
     filteredRows = vo.getFilteredRows(rowQualifier);  

2- Filter RowSetIterator

     //Get ViewObjectImpl object  
     ViewObjectImpl vo = getAllAdvisorView();  
          
     //Get RowSetIteratorImpl object  
     RowSetIterator rsIterator=vo.createRowSetIterator(null);  
       
     //Filter using specific attribute value  
     Row[] filteredRowsRSI = rsIterator.getFilteredRows("AttributeName", "AttributeValue");

ADF action binding with Generics

ADF binding does not support Generics See below,

https://community.oracle.com/message/4304798

For example, in AM you have List<Long> getListCount() {}, you will get following exception.

Go to binding source, change following

<NamedData NDName="testList" NDType="java.util.List&lt;java.lang.Long>"/>

to

<NamedData NDName="testList" NDType="java.util.List"/>

Exception
