Cg_ref_codes

Question

Hi all
I try rewrite my app from forms6i to adf and i dont knew what is the best way to support my cg_ref_codes table?
On one page i have many field where i use value from "DOMAIN" (cg_ref_codes) sometime i want red/write field (select-on-choice) some time i want red/only field (get value from cg_ref_codes).
To get red/write field i define LOV on my VO, but for red/only field im confused. Should i create association on my EO(mytable->cg_ref_codes)? mytable have six field based on domain value so i need create six association on the same EO( but with difrent value for field RV_DOMAIN)
Thanks in advice

When posting to this forum please quote the version of JDev you're using. I'll assume JDev 11g.
A couple different approaches:
a) For the cg_ref_codes VO, create a number of different view criteria for the different domains. 6 domains, 6 view criteria.
b) Instead for the cg_ref_codes VO, create one view criteria with a bind variable for the domain
As you say, for each field from the EO to the cf_reg_codes VO, you'll need to create an association to support your LOVs. In the association you can select not only the VO to map to, but also from "a" the specific view critiera mapped to a specific domain, or from "b" the single view criteria and manually set the bind variable for the domain to a literal value.
An alternative in the Oracle 11g database is to use virtual columns to introduce the domain value into your primary table, then create FKs between the primary table domain & domain value to the cg_ref_codes domain & domain_value. I've yet to try this in a production system so take this last suggestion with a large bag of salt.
