How do I use the ADF propertyListener tag?

Question

I have a class

CustomerBean {
    Customer customer;
    public CustomerBean() {...}
    public getCustomer() {...}
    public void setCustomer(Customer c) {...}
    ...
}

When using normal JSF I can use a setPropertyLIstener tag (on say a commandLink) to update the customer property.

I'm trying to do the same thing with Oracle ADF, but failing. How do I specify a binding to a property on a data control? When I try to use Jdeveloper to do it it sets up an iterator for the customer variable, how do I declare and wire up a PropertyListener correctly?

Are there any-up-to date ADF resources I should know of? - a lot of ones I come accross use deprecated classes and methods.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

How about Oracle's own ADF docs? The af:setPropertyListener is specified here.

This should work.

1. From the datacontrol panel, drag the setCustomer() method to the page and create it as a command link.
2. Bind the customer argument to #{requestScope.customer}.
3. Inside the commandLink, use setPropertyListener/setActionListener to put the customer into request scope.
4. When the commandLink is clicked, ADF will pull the customer value from request scope and invoke the method.
