Where to write the custom code in Oracle ADF?7:11
Write Custom code in Managed Bean7:27
import javax.faces.application.FacesMessage;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import oracle.adf.model.BindingContext;
import oracle.adf.model.binding.DCBindingContainer;
import oracle.binding.OperationBinding;

public String Save() {
// Add event code here...
DCBindingContainer bindings = (DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("Commit");
operationBinding.execute();

FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
FacesMessage fm = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "Saved Successfully", "");
ctx.addMessage(null,fm);
return null;
}
Write Code in AMImpl.java6:52
In Managed Bean :

public String Save() {
// Add event code here...
DCBindingContainer bindings = (DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("saveEmployee");
operationBinding.execute();

FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
FacesMessage fm = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO, "Saved Successfully", "");
ctx.addMessage(null,fm);
return null;
}

In AM Impl :

public void saveEmployee() {
ViewObjectImpl vo = getEmployeesView1();
vo.getCurrentRow().setAttribute("Salary", 35000);
this.getTransaction().commit();
}
Write code in EOImpl.java8:47
Create Method :
System.out.println("Create Method is called");
SequenceImpl sq = new SequenceImpl("EMPLOYEES_SEQ",this.getDBTransaction());
this.setAttribute("EmployeeId", sq.getSequenceNumber().intValue());
Remove Method:
this.setAttribute("Salary",new BigDecimal("10") );

DoDml Method:
if (operation == DML_INSERT)
System.out.println("DML Insert is called");
else if (operation == DML_UPDATE)
System.out.println("DML Update is called");
else if (operation == DML_DELETE)
{
System.out.println("DML Delete is called");
operation = DML_UPDATE;
}
Write Code in VOImpl.java5:31
In EmployeesViewImpl.java :

public void filterByShippingDept () {
final Integer departmentId = 50;
setWhereClause( " DEPARTMENT_ID = " + departmentId);
executeQuery();
}

Binding Change :

<methodAction id="filterByShippingDept" RequiresUpdateModel="true" Action="invokeMethod"
MethodName="filterByShippingDept" IsViewObjectMethod="true" DataControl="CustomCodeAMDataControl"
InstanceName="data.CustomCodeAMDataControl.EmployeesView1"/>
Write code in VORowImpl.java8:28
In DepartmentsViewRowImpl.java

public void applyRaise(BigDecimal raiseValue)
{
RowIterator rows = getEmployeesView();

while (rows.hasNext())
{
EmployeesViewRowImpl currentRow = (EmployeesViewRowImpl) rows.next();
currentRow.setSalary( currentRow.getSalary().add(raiseValue));
}
}
