Binding fileds of a PDF to a webdynpro context

Question

Hi to all,
I created a pdf with abobe lifecycle designer 7.1 then I imported it in a webdynpro view as an interactive form element. Then I binded the pdf fields with a context in webdynpro view, this context is binded to a RFC model which writes datas on a sap system table. The aim of this project is to write some datas on the pdf and, after pressing a submit button, all these datas will be saved on the SAP system. My problem is that the binding between fields on PDF and view context doesn't work!!!
Can you help me, please?
Thank you very much,
Antonio

Ok, got it. I suspected you were looking for something a little more dynamic.
You're correct, APEX doesn't have such feature yet.
This is still more code than you may want, but would something like this work:
-- FETCH Process
begin
  l_page_base := 'P1_';
  for c in (select column_name, column_value from my_table)
  loop
       apex_util.set_session_state(l_page_base || c.column_name, c.column_value);
  end loop;
end;You'll need all the items created on the page of course, but it's possible to cut down on the code and make the fetch a little more dynamic.
Then in the Submit I can do an apex_utl.get_session_state(item) and also loop through the elements.
I've also used this technique.. but it was a pain as I was re-inventing the wheel completely.
var options = {
    url:       'http://URL_PROCEDURE'
// The Form "SAVE/SUBMIT" button would NOT submit the page and instead call this code
$.post(options.url
  , $(this).serialize()
  , function (pJSON) {processResult(pJSON);}
  , "text");
function processResult (pJSON) {
   var resp = $u_eval('(' + pJSON + ')');
   if (resp.row[0].status == 'SUCCESS') {
       window.location = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:SUCCESS_PAGE:0:';
   else {
       $('#uSuccessMessage').html((ie)?resp.row[0].error : resp.row[0].htmlError);
       // if get got an item, set the focus on it
       if (resp.row[0].item) {
         $('#' + resp.row[0].item).focus();
}With this technique, the serialize passes value pairs in the URL to URL_PROCEDURE with all the fields on the form.
It still required a lot of code and you're not really using APEX at this point any more.
Good luck.
