Unable to create VO based on SQL statment without PK and display using JSF.

Question

What I am looking to do is create a view object that returns distinct records from a column in database table.
Example: select disntict phone_no from USER;
where the primary key is composed of ID & NAME columns for the USER table.
I already have a view object for the USER table, when creating the view object for the the SQL query writtten above. I am forced to have the Primay key in the view object SQL without which I cannot create the view object. Having the composite primary key instead or returning me the 8 disntcht records that are there returns a lot mroe records.
I was able to define the view with only one of the columns of the composite primary key. But when I try to display the phone_no in a JSF JSP drop downlist nothing shows up. Everything shows up as blank. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I think we can decouple the list from the business service issue: If you run the ViewObject that you make the list data source of the select box in the ADF BC tester, does it contain data? If it does then the problem is in the way you created the list box, in which case we need to look into how you created it
