I
am very excited about ADF PS6 release, it brings new freshness and
coolness feeling to ADF. ADF Faces runtime performance seems to be
incomparable faster and much more responsive comparing to previous ADF
11g R1 and even ADF 11g R2 releases. This gives good hopes to expect the
same improvements in ADF 12c. There is new ADF Faces component
introduced - List View. You can think about it as about much more
liberal ADF Faces table component. List View renders data collections
but there is much more control and flexibility how data collection is
presented visually. If you need to render strict tabular data - ADF
Faces table is the most suitable, List View is for something less
structured. We could achieve up till now similar layout as List View
with custom implementation using ADF Faces iterators or for each tags.
Of course it is much easier now to use out of the box List View tag - Displaying a Collection in a List.
Here you can see fragment structure for my sample application with List View usage - ListViewApp.zip:
There
are two types of List View implemented here - simple and hierarchical
one. Simple List View renders collection in a list, there is option to
load more rows from the collection on demand. Hierarchical List View
renders Department - Employees master detail data: Read the full article here.
