ADF- search get the value back to the edit form

Question

I am trying to do a search on one inputtext field from an Edit frm. After the selection in the search dialog page, when I set the value back to the edit form it does not set like a value. it sets like an object.
the value of the field comes like - view.managedbean.myBean@5571b0
It should have been "333164"
I have followed the following link in doing this -http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/gauchman-lov.html
the code for the searchbean and the edit bean are as follows
//on the serachbean
public void returnObject(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
JUCtrlValueBindingRef selectedRowData= (JUCtrlValueBindingRef)getSearchResultsTable().getSelectedRowData();
if (selectedRowData==null){
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(null,null);
return;
// Get JobTitle and Salary of selectedRow
oracle.jbo.domain.Number oracleJbosearchID = (oracle.jbo.domain.Number)selectedRowData.getRow().getAttribute("myId");
myID = new Integer(oracleJbosearchID.bigIntegerValue().intValue());
setMyID(myID);
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(this,null);
//on the edit bean
public void handleReturn(ReturnEvent returnEvent) {
MyBean myBean = (MyBean)returnEvent.getReturnValue();
if (myBean==null)return;
Integer myID = myBean.getMyID();
getMyID().setSubmittedValue(null);
getMyID().setValue(myID);
AdfFacesContext afContext = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
afContext.addPartialTarget(getMyID());
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
the following line
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(this,null);
returns an instance of the managed bean, which for the example of a return value is an overkill to do. Please have a look at
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/B25947_01/web_complex003.htm#CEGDHIGB
for how to use dialogs. It explains how to return an simple object and how to return a collection (e.g. in a Hashmap)
