ADF: initialize the VC and the table of a page

Question

Hello all,
In HR schema I have an application with a menu with two items (Employees and Countries pages).
Both pages have View Criteria on the top and a table grid below showing the data.
When I search in Employees page for a particular employee, and then navigate to Countries page I noticed the following. If I go back to Employees page, the table is still filtered with the criteria I entered before, and the View Criteria panel has not been reset, but shows the criteria I initially entered.
How can I have the VC initialized every time I enter a page, and the table not filtered???
I hope there is a simple workaround for that.
Thanks a lot!

you will have to clear the viewCrtieria manually when the page is loaded everytime..
1) have a dummy outputtext with visible = false as the last component
2) have binding for the outputtext in the maanged bean
3) in the getter of the outputText have the following code
public void getoutputTextBinding(){
DCIteratorBinding dciter;
BindingContainer bindings = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
dciter = (DCIteratorBinding) bindings.get("EmpView1Iterator");
dciter.getViewObject().applyViewCriteria(null);
dciter.getViewObject().executeQuery();
}
