Best way to transfer a List Object into a view object?

Question

Hi Guys and Gals,
I'm working with some 3rd party code. This code queries a 3rd party database and returns the data into a List like so:
        PlatformSessionContext context = webutils.getPlatformContext(accesstoken,accessstokensecret,realmID,dataSource);
     QBCustomerService customerService = customerService = QBServiceFactory.getService(context, QBCustomerService.class);
     List<QBCustomer> customers = customerService.findAll(context, 1, 100);What is then the best way to populate a view object with that list? I would think I would need to do a couple of things ...
1) Map the QBCustomer's fields/getters to my ViewObject attributes somehow ...
2) Iterate through the List and sync the QBCustomer field values to the VO rows/attributes.
Am I on the right track? What do you think is the best way to accomplish this? I've come across populating a VO via XML here (How do I implement an HTTP Get which returns XML into a View Object? ). Should I look for this QBCustomer.class's query and XML?
This is all a little over my head. Any help would be appreciated. Using JDev 11.1.2.2.0.
Thanks,
Will

Hi,
bets is to do it similar as in https://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf/resource/examples#134
In this sample, a list of selected keys is passed to a custom method exposed on the ViewObject. In your case you need to make sure the QBCustomer class is known by the ADF BC project. Then from the custom method, you create new rows in the VO and populate the attributes with values from the QBCustomer object. The method can be dragged from the data control palette (as a parameter form) or manually create in the PageDef (method binding). The latter case requires you to reference an object holding the list of QBCustomer
