Execute a clientListener of type selection without the selection (HELP)

Question

Hey everyboy, today i brought a difficult and challeging question for you. (I'm using JDeveloper 12.1.2.0.0 and the database given by oracle -> HR)
Imagine the following scenario:
- You have a adf read-only table with the department id and department name
- You have a adf read-only table with the information of 3 tables together (join of department table, employee table and jobs table), i'm going to call it HUB table
- You have a adf read-only table with the employee id and employee name
- You can select one or more departments and the HUB table only shows the rows that are linked to the department that you choosed
- You click on any element of the hub table and it highlights the rows in the employee table that match the rows in the HUB table
My question is: How can i do the last part (the click on the hub table) without clicking it?
I have this on my HUB table:
<af:clientListener method="rowSelected" type="selection"/>
<af:serverListener type="invokeMatcher" method="#{BeanControloTotal.matchEmFACTS}"/>
This is the method rowSelected:
<af:resource type="javascript">
          function rowSelected(evt) {
            var table = evt.getSource();
            AdfCustomEvent.queue(table, "invokeMatcher", {}, true);
            evt.cancel();
</af:resource>
If i try to move my clientListener and ServerListener, it says that i don't have the attributes that i need for the method in my bean (because i don't have the employeeID).
I have the bean with the bindings for everytable (so i can access to them if i need) and my matchEmFACTS code is:
    public void matchEmFACTS(ClientEvent clientEvent) {
        matchEmFromJavaScriptEmployee(clientEvent);
        matchEmFromJavaScriptJobs(clientEvent);
        matchEmFromJavaScriptDepartments(clientEvent);
    public void matchEmFromJavaScriptEmployee(ClientEvent clientEvent) {
        // initialize and store previously selected values
        oldSelCoMap.putAll(selCoMap);   
        selCoMap.clear();
        newSelection.clear();
        String employee = "";
        RichTable factTable = (RichTable)clientEvent.getComponent();   
        // process selected rowkeys   
        RowKeySet rowKeySet = (RowKeySet)factTable.getSelectedRowKeys();   
        CollectionModel cm = (CollectionModel)factTable.getValue();
Maybe there is a way that i can execute this clientListener automatically without the need of select any element of my hub table.
Any ideas?
My best regards,
Frederico.

Hey Jflack, how are you ?
Actually i'm handling it with a managed bean, and i have a selectionListener but the method is called by a clientListener (the SelectionListener is for other purposes) but i can't pass the code to the selectionListener because it comes from a previous function, so he won't find the element i'm looking for).
I'll put some parts of the code so you can understand what i'm saying:
public void onDepartamentosTableSelect(SelectionEvent selectionEvent) {               (The department table selectionListener, where you choose one or more dep.)
        //variable to hold the string containing all selected row's departmentId value
        StringBuffer var_DepartmentID = new StringBuffer();
        //get access to the master table to read selected row keys
        RichTable rt = (RichTable) selectionEvent.getSource();
        RowKeySet rks = rt.getSelectedRowKeys();
        Iterator selectedRowsIterator = rks.iterator();
        onHubTableSelect(selectionEvent);
public void matchEmFACTS(ClientEvent clientEvent) {                         (The function in the serverListener, in the HUB table)
        matchEmFromJavaScriptEmployee(clientEvent);
        matchEmFromJavaScriptJobs(clientEvent);
        matchEmFromJavaScriptDepartments(clientEvent);
public void onHubTableSelect(SelectionEvent selectionEvent) {
        GenericTableSelectionHandler.makeCurrent(selectionEvent);
        DCIteratorBinding conIter = ADFUtils.findIterator("FactSalaryView1Iterator");
As you can see, if i try to organize my code to the HubTableSelect (my selectionListener) i won't be able to get the proper information, since the selectionEvent already comes from another selectionListener, in this case, the department selectionListener.
Your idea is simillar to what i have, am i right?

Frederico.
