HGrid with drill down & chart

Question

Hello folks, I've a requirement, kinda hard and I would like to know some guide lines with my first OAF customzied page.
The requirement is a page that includes the Organization Hierarchy from the top most to the to bottom including managers and with a drill down option for each department and manager. Another thing is a report issue, which is a competency/appraisal chart grouped for a specific department/supervisor or the whole organization.
At first, I thought of a graphTable bean under the HGrid that will be implemented with PPR option to refresh each time a selection happens in the HGrid. Then I've found a way to include BI Publisher reports withing an OAF Page in real-time. I almost have gathered the information to be used but the main problem is, I don't know from where to start!.
Please advise.

glad to hear we were on the right track. chapter 12 of the htmldb documentation provides info on some of the api's that htmldb makes available to you for use in your application. of those api's, htmldb_util, has a url_encode function. it encodes special characters and such into hex so you can call them via a url. because of the weirdness you described it seemed as if you could use some encoding your svg chart links, too. so instead of coding your select statement as...
select 'f?p='|| :APP_ID ||':2:'|| :APP_SESSION ||'::::P600_SHOW:'||remarks link, remarks label , count(remarks) value from whatever
...i was suggesting you write it as...
select 'f?p='|| :APP_ID ||':2:'|| :APP_SESSION ||'::::P600_SHOW:'||htmldb_util.url_encode(remarks) link, remarks label , count(remarks) value from whatever
...hope this helps,
