In this article we are going to create Dependent Poplist in a region other than a Table

region.

For this exercise we have created three poplist viz. State, County and City where
State is an Independent poplist while County is dependent on state and City is
dependent on both State and County.

Brief Steps:-

1. Create Application Module

2. Create View Object for poplists.
3. Create PVO * to handle PPR**
4. Create UI Components
5. Create Controller.

* Property View Object

** Partial page rendering

Detailed Description

Step 1: First create Workspace, Project and create an Application Module to interact
with Database.

Step 2: Create three ViewObjects for poplists (state, county and city) as shown below.

♣ PayUsStatesVO

http://oracleanil.blogspot.com/
♣ PayUsCountiesVO

♣ PayUsCityNamesVO
Step 3: Create a Property View Object to handle PPR event.

Add two Transient Attribute of type Boolean i.e.

♣ RenderCounty
♣ RenderCity

Add all VOs to DependentPoplistAM

Step 4: Build the Poplist Page with three poplist under MessageComponentLayout
region as shown below.

Make sure you set the Picklist View Instance Property not Picklist View Definition.

Attach SPEL Syntax to the Rendered property of County and City poplist and
FirePartialAction event with State and County

♣ State

♣ County

♣ City

Step5: Create page controller to handle PPR and to execute VO query.

Controller Code

package anil.oracle.apps.pay.webui;

String countyCode = (String)mcb2.getValue(pageContext);
Serializable params[] = {stateCode,countyCode};
am.invokeMethod("ChangeCounty",params);
}
}
}

Application Module Code

import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.server.OAApplicationModuleImpl;
import anil.oracle.apps.pay.poplist.server.PayUsStatesVOImpl;
import anil.oracle.apps.pay.poplist.server.PayUsCountiesVOImpl;
import anil.oracle.apps.pay.poplist.server.PayUsCityNamesVOImpl;
import oracle.jbo.Row;

public void ChangeState(String stateCode)

{
PayUsCountiesVOImpl vo =
(PayUsCountiesVOImpl)getPayUsCountiesVO1();
/* This Method calls PayUsCountiesVOImpl method*/
vo.initQuery(stateCode);
String countyCode = null;
handleChangeEvent(stateCode,countyCode);
}

public void initPVO()

{
String stateCode = null;
String countyCode = null;

DependentPoplistPVOImpl vo =
(DependentPoplistPVOImpl)getDependentPoplistPVO1();
if(vo != null)
{
if(!vo.isPreparedForExecution())
{
vo.executeQuery();
}

Row row = vo.createRow();

vo.insertRow(row);
row.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
handleChangeEvent(stateCode,countyCode);
}
}

public void ChangeCounty(String stateCode,String countyCode)

{
PayUsCityNamesVOImpl vo =
(PayUsCityNamesVOImpl)getPayUsCityNamesVO1();

/* This Method calls PayUsCityNamesVOImpl method*/

vo.initQuery(stateCode,countyCode);
handleChangeEvent(stateCode,countyCode);
}
http://oracleanil.blogspot.com/
/* This method is getting called from Application Module itself for
rendering the poplist beans based on the poplist events */
public void handleChangeEvent(String stateCode,String countyCode)
{

DependentPoplistPVOImpl vo =
(DependentPoplistPVOImpl)getDependentPoplistPVO1();
if(vo != null)
{
if (stateCode != null && countyCode == null)
{
vo.getCurrentRow().setAttribute("RenderCounty",Boolean.TRUE);
vo.getCurrentRow().setAttribute("RenderCity",Boolean.FALSE);
}
else if(countyCode != null)
{
vo.getCurrentRow().setAttribute("RenderCounty",Boolean.TRUE);
vo.getCurrentRow().setAttribute("RenderCity",Boolean.TRUE);
}
else
{
vo.getCurrentRow().setAttribute("RenderCounty",Boolean.FALSE);
vo.getCurrentRow().setAttribute("RenderCity",Boolean.FALSE);
}
}
}
}

PayUsCityNamesVOImpl Code

public void initQuery(String stateCode,String countyCode)

{
setWhereClause(null);
setWhereClauseParams(null);
setWhereClauseParam(0,stateCode);
setWhereClauseParam(1,countyCode);
executeQuery();
}

PayUsCountiesVOImpl Code
public void initQuery(String stateCode)
{
setWhereClause(null);
setWhereClauseParams(null);
setWhereClauseParam(0,stateCode);
executeQuery();
}
Finally the page will look like as below
