Creating result based search programatically

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to create a simple result based search programmatically. I need to do this because I want the user to basically be able to select a specific table name and then the search adjusts the criteria and results automatically based on the table selected. If you like it is a generic query mechanism.
I have attempted to do this by declaratively setting up the query region as far as possible and then adding the table fields and binding them to a VO instance that I have created (I also create the view definition programatically)
The query region renders and the go and clear buttons are available, the result table renders and if I do a blind query it works fine and the result appear. The problem I have is that for the fields in the table that have queriable set to yes, the search region is not rendering the search fields.
This is what I have done (all in process request for now to get it working)
OADBTransactionImpl dbTx = (OADBTransactionImpl)am.getTransaction();
OAViewDef viewDef = dbTx.createViewDef();
viewDef.setViewObjectClass("oracle.apps.fnd.framework.server.OAViewObjectImpl");
viewDef.setViewRowClass("oracle.apps.fnd.framework.server.OAViewRowImpl");
viewDef.addSqlDerivedAttrDef("RECORD_ID","RECORD_ID","java.lang.String",Types.VARCHAR,false,true,AttributeDef.READONLY);
viewDef.addSqlDerivedAttrDef("RUNTIME_KEY","RUNTIME_KEY","java.lang.String",Types.VARCHAR,false,true,AttributeDef.READONLY);
viewDef.addSqlDerivedAttrDef("STATUS","STATUS","java.lang.String",Types.VARCHAR,false,true,AttributeDef.READONLY);
viewDef.setSql(sqlStmt);
am.createViewObject("InterfaceTableVO1",viewDef);
OATableBean tableBean = (OATableBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("InterfaceTableVO1");
OAMessageStyledTextBean leaf = null;
leaf=(OAMessageStyledTextBean)createWebBean(pageContext,MESSAGE_STYLED_TEXT_BEAN,null,"RECORD_ID");
leaf.setViewUsageName("InterfaceTableVO1");
leaf.setViewAttributeName("RECORD_ID");
leaf.setWrapEnabled(false);
leaf.setPrompt("RECORD_ID");
leaf.setQueryable(true);
tableBean.addIndexedChild(leaf);
The query bean and table have been defined declaratively, my hope was when I added the leaf nodes to the table with query able set to true that the framework would automatically figure the bindings out but it doesn't seem to be doing this.
Could this be a UIX rendering problem that I need to get around somehow?
Thanks
Keith
