Af:table range navigation and select with rownum

Question

I'm trying to use af:table to display some data (long list), but the value attribute always returns the entire list. (Basic example)
I'd like to use the range navigation so the application only select a sublist from the database (using rownum between x and y) and also display the navigation pane with all the pages, but I was only able to get the specific page with no navigation pane.
Does anyone have a good example on how to use the range navigation with selects/rownum?

Answer 1

Assuming I have an untitled1.jspx page with an Untitled1.java backing bean and an <af:table> on my page whose whose binding attribute is set to the EL expression #{Untitled1.table} to expose the table UI component in the backing bean, and a rangeChangeListener set to the EL expression #{Untitled1.onRangeChanged}, then with the following backing bean class, I seem to have been able to disable the user's picking the "Show all" option. It still appears in the list, but visually picking it stays on the current range of rows.
package test.backing;
import oracle.adf.view.faces.component.core.data.CoreTable;
import oracle.adf.view.faces.event.RangeChangeEvent;
public class Untitled1 {
  private CoreTable table;
  public Untitled1() {
  public void onRangeChanged(RangeChangeEvent rangeChangeEvent) {
    int newStart = rangeChangeEvent.getNewStart();
    int newEnd = rangeChangeEvent.getNewEnd();
    if (newEnd - newStart > getTable().getRows()) {
      int oldEnd = rangeChangeEvent.getOldEnd();
      int oldStart = rangeChangeEvent.getOldStart();
      queueRangeChangeEventForTable(newStart, newEnd, oldStart, oldEnd);
  private void queueRangeChangeEventForTable(int oldStart, int oldEnd,
                                             int newStart, int newEnd) {
    RangeChangeEvent rce =
      new RangeChangeEvent(getTable(), oldStart, oldEnd, newStart, newEnd);
    getTable().queueEvent(rce);
  public void setTable(CoreTable table) {
    this.table = table;
  public CoreTable getTable() {
    return table;
}
