Refresh af: table to fetch updated/additional records from db

Question

Hi,
I have a jspx page having Create New Employee form and a table showing all the Employee records. I am using ADF Faces+Session Beans(EJB3.0)+JPA.
The create record form is not created from data control, but using adf input text boxes and binding them manually to backing bean properties, and on save button action, calling a session facade remote method, which inturn calls the persistEntity() of JPA. This is working fine.
The table is bound to data control , showing FindAll query results. This is also working fine.
The problem is,for example if i have 5 employee records in db, the table will show 5 records and then I create an employee record and click on save button, then i fire a sql query on db to 'select *' , it shows that record in db, but the table(on the same page) still shows 5 records. Table doesn't show the new record that I just created, even if I refresh the page.
So, in this case PPR and refreshing the iterator which shows the table, don't work. I even tried to invoke the method which fires FindAll query, again on save button click.But, that too, din't work. What is the solution?
Note: I am using JDev11g.

Hi,
Can you brief me how you are adding the records. Like ... on click of add button opening a inline pop up and is it through that???
Try to do the following from your backing bean.
Solution#
======
Use returnlistener of the button/action link, which you are using to open the popup.
Here is the action how the add/edit inline popup is getting opened.
<af:commandImageLink action="editHistory"
immediate="true" id="clEdit"
visible="#{row.editable and (pageFlowScope.borrowerHistoryMB.userId eq row.sourceId)}"
shortDesc="Click to edit this comment."
icon="/images/edit.png"
useWindow="true" windowHeight="300"
windowWidth="500"
*returnListener="#{pageFlowScope.borrowerHistoryMB.refreshTableData}"* >
Code that needs to be added inside a managed bean.
=================================
public void refreshTableData(ReturnEvent returnEvent) {
AdfFacesContext adfFacesContext = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
adfFacesContext.addPartialTarget(getHistoryTable());
Let me know if you have issue with any of these.
