How to create a dynamic table region with dynamic VO in processFormRequest

Question

Hi All,
I have a requirement to create a dynamic table region with a dynamic VO.
I need this because at runtime only the user will select the table name. So based on that table name, i have to create a table region to display the records.
I already created a dynamic VO. Could anyone share the code for dynamic table region creation.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Myvizhi

Hi,
You can use following sample code to create advance table columns dynamically with colum groups as well.
It assumes that you have already created advance table with ID EmpTblRN.
Below code returns column heading dynamically and if you keep your VO column names and attributes
same in all the cases (COL1, COL2.....) then you can easily use a loop to create advance table columns.
It is attaching VO attributes to OAMessageStyledText bean in the last.
Hope it helps.
OAAdvancedTableBean advTable = (OAAdvancedTableBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("EmpTblRN");
Serializable [] param = {currentWindowSeq.toString()};
Datum[] colHeadingArray = (Datum[])am.invokeMethod("getColumnHeading", param);
String oldGrpName = null;
String newGrpName = null;
OAColumnGroupBean columnGroup = null;
DictionaryData columnFormat = new DictionaryData();
columnFormat.put(WIDTH_KEY, "4%");
for (int i = 0; i < colHeadingArray.length; i++)
try
oracle.sql.STRUCT os = (oracle.sql.STRUCT)colHeadingArray;
Object[] colHeadAttr = os.getAttributes();
newGrpName = (String)colHeadAttr[0];
if(newGrpName!=null)
if(!newGrpName.equals(oldGrpName))
// Create a column group, create the set the column header,
// and add the column group under the advanced table
columnGroup = (OAColumnGroupBean)createWebBean(pageContext, COLUMN_GROUP_BEAN, null, "ColGroup"+i);
OASortableHeaderBean columnGroupHeader = (OASortableHeaderBean)createWebBean(pageContext, SORTABLE_HEADER_BEAN, null, "ColGroupHeader"+i);
columnGroupHeader.setText(newGrpName);
// Retrieve from message dictionary
columnGroup.setColumnHeader(columnGroupHeader);
advTable.addIndexedChild(columnGroup);
oldGrpName = newGrpName;
// Create a column, create the set the column header, and add the column
// under the column group
OAColumnBean column1 = (OAColumnBean)createWebBean(pageContext, COLUMN_BEAN, null, "Column"+i);
OASortableHeaderBean column1Header = (OASortableHeaderBean)createWebBean(pageContext, SORTABLE_HEADER_BEAN, null, "Column1Header"+i);
column1Header.setText(colHeadAttr[1].toString());
column1.setColumnHeader(column1Header);
column1.setColumnFormat(columnFormat);
columnGroup.addIndexedChild(column1);
// Create the actual leaf item under the first column
OAMessageStyledTextBean leaf1 = (OAMessageStyledTextBean)createWebBean(pageContext, MESSAGE_STYLED_TEXT_BEAN, null, "Leaf"+i);
//OARawTextBean leaf1 = (OARawTextBean)createWebBean(pageContext, RAW_TEXT_BEAN, null, "Leaf"+i);
leaf1.setViewAttributeName("Week"+(i+1));
String destination = "OA.jsp?page=/xxqc/oracle/apps/per/leaveadvance/webui/EmployeeLeaveDetailPG&personId={@PersonId}";
destination = destination + "&startDate="+colHeadAttr[1].toString()+"-"+(String)colHeadAttr[0];
destination = destination + "&addBreadCrumb=Y&retainAM=Y";
leaf1.setDestination(destination);
OADataBoundValueViewObject cssjob = new OADataBoundValueViewObject(leaf1,"Color"+(i+1));
//leaf1.setAttributeValue(oracle.cabo.ui.UIConstants.STYLE_CLASS_ATTR, cssjob);
leaf1.setAttributeValue(UIConstants.RENDERED_ATTR, cssjob);
column1.addIndexedChild(leaf1);
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("e"+e);
