Answer 1

AttachmentTable
Here is how to setup an attachmentTable item.
1- create the item and select attachmentTable as the item style
2- set the view instance on this item to be the View Object instance that contains the
main record primary key for the record you want to attach things against.
3- under the item you have just created JDeveloper inserts an entity item. Give this
item an entity name in the Entity attribute in the property inspector. I believe it can be
whatever you like it to be.
4- right click on the entity and add the primarykeys item
5- right click on the primarykeys item and add a primary key
6- set the view attribute of the primary key to be the primary key attribute of the VO you
attached to the attachmentTable item above.
7- right click on the primarykeys item and add a categorymap
8- set the category attribute of the categorymap to the category code you wish to have
available, you can add as many category codes as you like
(Note you can get the category codes from the FND_DOCUMENT_CATEGORIES the
code is the name column in this table. Note that if you migrate this to another
environment the codes are likely to be different in case the categories you are using are
not oracle seeded categories. In this case you should not define the categories
declaretively as I described above, you should do this in your processRequest method in
your CO. I can send you code to do this if you are interested.)
The above should be all you need to setup, the attachments will be stored in a central
table in the database and therefore you do not need to provide your own table for storing
the attachments.
This may help you.
This I have got it from this forum.
Thanks.
