Dynamic pagination using inputs from a Web Service data control

Question

I am in process of creating a pagination UI component , much similiar to the one used in Oracle forums eg: Pages: 100 [1 2 3 4 5 | Next ]
I am making use of a Web Service to get the following details for my search results :
a) Number of search result rows (100) ,
b) total number of rows to be shown on one page (5)
c) Total number of pages
I am wondering how to create the pagination UI control in my ADF Faces page and How can I bind the web service data control to the pagination component for a simple dynamic navigation
Please advice. I am new to ADF development, so looking inputs for approach to the above elucidated problem (Code not required)

Answer 1

Yes I am using <af:commandLink > component
<af:forEach
var="list" items="#{NavBean.list}">
<af:spacer width="5" height="10" id="s1"/>
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl2" layout="horizontal"
halign="center"
inlineStyle="#{list.found ? 'background-color:#aeccd8;' : 'background-color:white;'} text-align:center; width:15px; ">
<af:commandLink text="#{list.character}" id="cl1"
partialSubmit="true"
disabled="#{list.found ? false : true}"
actionListener="#{NavBean.onIndexSelected}">
<f:attribute name="indxKey" value="#{list.character}"/>
</af:commandLink>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</af:forEach>
I have created a NavBean managed bean with some methods and foll set of instance variable:
List<IndexCharacterObject> list = null;
int startRow;
int endRow;
int pageNumber;
int numPages;
int totalRows;
I want these variables in the Managed bean class to be automatically populated from the Web Service data control .. Not sure how to go about binding these values ?
