Below are the steps to create LOV
- Create a new ADF Fusion Web Application with name as “FirstApp” and provide package prefix as “com.adf.training”. Finish the wizard
- Right click on the model and select “Create business components from table“. By selecting this we can create Entity Object(EO), View Object(VO) and Application Module(AM) from one wizard. Create “EO”, select the available table and click next. Now to create VO select EO from the list and click Next
- From the next screen, enter Application Module name as “FirstAppModule” and Finish the Wizard
- Notice EO, VO and AM has been created
- Create a query based VO. In order to create a query based VO, right click on the model and select create new view object. Enter the name of the view object and select “Custom SQL query” and click Next
- Enter the query “select deptno, dname from department” and click next and then finish the wizard
- Open the “EmployeesView” , go to the Attributes, select Deptno and click on “List of Values” tab
- Select “DepartmentView1″ from List Data Source dropdown and Deptno from List Attribute
- Now go to “UI Hints” tab and select Dname
- Select the “EmployeesView1” from the Data Controls and drop on to the page
