Dialog updates database... refresh Main panel?

Question

ref: JDev 3.1
Given an application that has a Master/Detail Form with details in a gridcontrol, and a button that kicks up a dialog panel that allows the user to edit extensively a row that appears in the said gridcontrol...
How does one force a refresh of the underlaying rowset in the original panel ( and force a redisplay into the grid control to reflect the updated data )?
I'm trying to avoid instantiating the rowset as a passed parameter to the dialog and then manually pushing everything back on the main panel...
Or am I ( again ) conceptually missing some significant approach to solving this task?
TIA

Answer 1

OK... here's some (working) sample code for an application based on Brian's help to Ali's session question, that also answers my question. Probably obvious to many, it may be helpful to newbies like me who are very confused reading the postings and trying to figure this stuff out.
It shares a rowset between a frame and a dialog box. The data is kept in synch (automagically) as things change in the dialog box.
Steps:
1. Build a database connection class
2. Put it in the application before opening the base frame.
3. Build the frame/dialog. DO NOT specify a sessioninfo/rowsetinfo using the infoproducer drag/drops.
4. Manually hardcode the sessioninfo/rowset stuff manually as noted.
Note also that session info is not passed nor published except once.
This seems to work. Please advise if you know of any glaring flaws. I wouldn't be surprised. Obviously, this is easier to actually do when you see the sample code than what it sounds like reading the postings! TIA.
