ADF-BC/JSF Attributes of reference entity objects do not appear on new rows

Question

Hi everyone,
Here is something I have been meaning to ask for a long time and never found the time to do so.
Let's suppose that we have two entities named Item and and ItemType and a view object named ItemsList defined like this
SELECT Item.ID,
              Item.NAME,
              Item.TYPE
              ItemType.NAME as TYPE_NAME
              Item.PRICE
              ItemType.ID AS ID1
   FROM
              ITEMS Item, ITEM_TYPES ItemType
   WHERE
              Item.TYPE = ItemType.IDLet's also suppose that using JDeveloper's standard ADF/SF pages, we create a list page and a create page that uses a combo box to allow the user to set the item type which then commits the changes and returns back to to the list page.
I have noticed that new rows created using this method do not display the TYPE_NAME (and all similar) attributes, until the view is executed again. What I usually do in this case is have an Execute binding that fires only when a request scope variable is set from the creating page. This approach works for me but I feel that there must be an easier and "more right" way to achieve the same results.
Thanassis

Maybe you can use the getEstimatedRowCount() method on the view.
