How to bind to a dynamic View in UIX

Question

I wish to have a UIX page access data from a dynamic View (i.e. the View is created at runtime). Since the View is not created at design time, I cannot create bindings for it in the UIX page's UIModel. Therefore, how do I reference this view in the UIX page?

Sanjay,
No -- but I'm experimenting with something simillar to what you mention. Actually, there is a way to iterate over each element if you made the childData attribute of your contents child of the messageChoice your rangeSet, i.e.:
<messageChoice>
<contents childData="${bindings.myIterator.rangeSet}">
<option text="${uix.current.myfield}"/>
</contents>
<messageChoice>
The problem is that this causes a problem with the subsequent submit, the current row, and what selection shows when the page is re-rendered. I am becoming more convinced because of this and some other things I've run into that there are either problems with using ViewLinks, or problems in UIX components where ViewLinks are involved. I'm pretty much abandoning use of ViewLinks altogether. I haven't seen much of anything work with them that isn't done exactly like tutorials and examples. And with regards to those, most tutorials and examples offer very little UIX help (most of them are JSPs), and even the ones that do have in-a-vaccuum style in-line databinding rather than database databinding (you'd think Oracle, a database company, might actually use database examples), which doesn't clarify a bunch of issues someone writing a reall application runs into.
As to an answer -- no unfortunately. Getting an answer to any ADF/UIX question is a time-consuming, frustrating, and most often fruitless process. Of my 45 some-odd posts on this forum, about 30 of them are unresponded-to posts.
