Dynamic hyperlink from database table

Question

hi,
I have requirement to create left hand menu on a page. Menu label and hyperlink is stored in database. What is the best way to achieve this. Basically when user logs based on his user name query will fetch the labels and hyperlink source. How to achieve this in ADF? I could not find anything out of the box. I have view object which stores that information but i dont know how to convert that information into hyperlinks.

Assuming the UrlInfo is the name of the View Object that has the attributes label & link, you can use the af:iterator to show the labels & links as follows:
1) Drag & Drop the UrlInfo into the page as a table. Delete the table in the .JSPX page and keeping the pageDef as it is.
2) Instead of the af:table, use af:iterator to show the same.
.JSPX page sample:
<af:iterator value="#{bindings.UrlInfo.collectionModel}" var="row"
rows="#{bindings.UrlInfo.rangeSize}" id="t1">
<af:goLink id="g1" text="#{row.label}"
destination="#{row.link}"/>
<af:spacer height="1px" id="sp1"/>
</af:iterator>
PageDef sample:
<executables>
<variableIterator id="variables"/>
<iterator Binds="Employees" RangeSize="25"
DataControl="AppModuleDataControl" id="UrlInfoIterator"/>
</executables>
<bindings>
<tree IterBinding="UrlInfoIterator" id="UrlInfo">
<nodeDefinition DefName="model.UrlInfoVO">
<AttrNames>
<Item Value="label"/>
<Item Value="link"/>
</AttrNames>
</nodeDefinition>
</tree>
</bindings>
