How to auto scroll a table to last row when using Active Data Service? 11g

Question

Hi all,
Has anyone got any experience with the ADF Active Data Service?
I am using an af:table in combination with the ADF Active Data Service and I want the table to scroll to the latest row when new data arrives.
It is basically a simple setup:
The value attribute of my table points to a bean that extends CollectionModel and implements ActiveDataModel. This works perfectly. A soon as I receive new data in my bean, the table is automatically updated (e.g. a new row is inserted). I use JDev version: 11.1.1.3
The problem is that I can not get the scroll bar to move down to the last row automatically when new data arrives. The auto scroll only works for the client that actually performs a submit. In other words the person that submits the new data, will see his scrollbar move down, this is because I added the following code:
RowKeySet rowkeysset = chatTableBinding.getSelectedRowKeys();
rowkeysset.clear();
rowkeysset.add(getRowKey());
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(this.chatTableBinding);
This does not work for the clients that receive the new data via the Active data model. Apparently the active data service partially refreshes the table, but not in such a way that it sets the selected row to the last row?
My table definition:
<af:table value="#{pageFlowScope.chatBean.instantMessagingChatwindowBean}" var="row"
id="t1" columnStretching="last" rows="10"
styleClass="AFStretchWidth" autoHeightRows="10" contentDelivery="immediate"
horizontalGridVisible="false"
verticalGridVisible="false"
disableColumnReordering="true" displayRow="last"
rowSelection="single"
binding="#{pageFlowScope.chatBean.instantMessagingChatwindowBean.chatTableBinding}"
inlineStyle="height:80px;">
p.s.
The table is used to show incoming chat message.
I am building a chat client (taskflow) in a Webcenter application. The concept is similar of that presented by Lucas Jellemain in his blogpost on building a Google Talk Client http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/jellema-googletalk-094343.html

Dan,
This is a thanks for posting your findings. You saved me quite some time.
<af:selectBooleanCheckbox id="showOnlyActiveSubscriptions" selected="true"
label="Show only active services:"
value="#{servicePortfolioBean.showOnlyActiveSubscriptions}"
autoSubmit="true" />
<af:table binding="#{servicePortfolioBean.serviceTable}" ...
partialTriggers="showOnlyActiveSubscriptions">
Of course, when I add a "ValueChangeListener" to the selectBooleanCheckbox, the PPR stops working. :( I wonder why?
