Assign value to the DFF fields in the OA Page

Question

Hi,
I have a requirement to copy customer address defined at the customer level to the contact while creating customer contact in Sales User.
The page has the address fields like - Address1, Address2, county, state etc. when I open the page in JDev, I can't see these fields defined anywhere. But there is a region under a MessageComponentLayout region and under it one flex item, which is having a View Instance.
This VO includes all the fields from HZ_LOCATIONS table. But on the page only few fields are visible.
Can anyone tell me how I can assign the customer address to these DFFs that are visible on the Page.
Thanks.

Hi,
The Address section is rendered using the Address DFF of the Receivables applications. Hope you know the navigation to see the details of the DFF.
I think the ASN is also using the same, by extending the AR region, /oracle/apps/ar/hz/components/address/webui/HzPuiAddressCreateUpdate.
What you have to do is, in order to get complete handle to this address section, you have to do the controller extension. That is, write a new controller which extends oracle.apps.ar.hz.components.address.webui.HzPuiAddressCreateUpdateCO class. Using the personalization, set your custom controller class to the region /oracle/apps/ar/hz/components/address/webui/HzPuiAddressCreateUpdate.
Here is the sample code.
* Procedure to handle Address1 Field.
* @param pageContext the current OA page context
* @param webBean the web bean corresponding to the region
public void handleAddress1Field(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean, String calledFrom)
OADescriptiveFlexBean flexBean = (OADescriptiveFlexBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("HzAddressStyleFlex");
if(flexBean!=null)
DescriptiveFlexfield descriptFlex = (DescriptiveFlexfield)flexBean.getAttributeValue(FLEXFIELD_REFERENCE);
if(descriptFlex!=null)
try
Segment address1Segment = descriptFlex.getSegment(1);
          address1Segment.setValue("TO_BE_REPLACED");
          OAApplicationModuleImpl applicationModule = (OAApplicationModuleImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
          OAViewObjectImpl locationVO = (OAViewObjectImpl)applicationModule.findViewObject("HzPuiLocationVO");
          OAViewRowImpl locationRow = (OAViewRowImpl)locationVO.getCurrentRow();
          if(locationRow!=null)
               locationRow.setAttribute("Address1", valueBuffer.toString());
               OAEntityImpl locationEO = (OAEntityImpl)locationRow.getEntity(0);
               locationEO.setAttribute("Address1", valueBuffer.toString());
}catch(FlexException flexException)
               throw new OAException(flexException.toString());
Use this code as reference and modify this based on your requirement. Thanks
