Changes to the Back-end....Bringing it on to the Front-end

Question

Hello All,
I would like to know the means of reflecting the changes made to the back-end tables on to the front end. Say we've a departments table and an ADF UIX page displaying the data from it in the front-end... we make certain modifications to the back-end table.. Now how do I bring it on to the already existing front-end UIX page. Could anyone give me a solution for this. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Arun.V

Hi,
If you have navigated to the employees from selected department (ie, all the employees on the page are from the same department) then you can just drag the department name onto the page to create the bindings and display the department name.
If you are going direct to empoyees in a read only table an easy solution is to create a business component based on a database view that joins the two tables and presents the employee details and the department name.
create or replace view emp_dept as
select e.emp_id,
       e.emp_name,
       d.dept_id,
       d.dept_name
from emp e,
     dept d
where e.dept_id = d.dept_id; If you want to edit an employee then create a view link to a ViewObject which represents just employees using the employee id. On the single record edit page use a message choice to translate the department id into the department name.
