ADF 11g + How to capture the value of a dynamically created input text box

Question

Hi All,
I have a requirement where, on selection of the value in a drop down, the input text boxes need to get dynamically populated on the JSPX page. I'm able to bring this functionality, and it is working fine.
But the challenge right now I'm facing is that, how to read/capture the value entered in those dynamic text boxes on submission of the page. Please help me in getting this resolved.
Below is the code snippet I'm using for this.
// Clearing the existing input fields in the Panel form
while (pf100.getChildren().iterator().hasNext()) {
pf100.getChildren().remove(pf100.getChildren().iterator().next());
// Creating the new fields based on the number of IP addresses selected
for (int i = 0; i < iIPAddress; i++) {
RichInputText pcPreferredDomain = new RichInputText();
pcPreferredDomain.setLabel("Preferred Domain / Hostname for Desktop PC/ Laptop - " +
(i + 1));
pcPreferredDomain.setColumns(40);
pcPreferredDomain.setId("pcpfdomain" + (i + 1));
pf100.getChildren().add(pcPreferredDomain);
Thanks All in Advance,
Thanks & Regards,

Answer 1

As per your method, you are creating the RichInputText components as local variables.
What happens when you are creating them as class level variables in the managed bean, if you do so, you can refer to the values of the UI components in the actionListener/action code for the command button in the managed bean
sample:
public class ManagedBean{
RichInputText [] pcPreferredDomain;
public ManagedBean(){
// Clearing the existing input fields in the Panel form
while (pf100.getChildren().iterator().hasNext()) {
pf100.getChildren().remove(pf100.getChildren().iterator().next());
pcPreferredDomain = new RichInputText[iIPAddress];
// Creating the new fields based on the number of IP addresses selected
for (int i = 0; i < iIPAddress; i++) {
pcPreferredDomain[i] = new RichInputText();
pcPreferredDomain.setLabel("Preferred Domain / Hostname for Desktop PC/ Laptop - " +
(i + 1));
pcPreferredDomain.setColumns(40);
pcPreferredDomain.setId("pcpfdomain" + (i + 1));
pf100.getChildren().add(pcPreferredDomain);
