How to create table with list/map value binding

Question

I need to display few values in a tabular format. Is it possible to create adf table without having value binding to a VO object. Can I make a table with some list/map combination.
I want to change the display format with minimum change in the application. Hence I am looking for a change to define a list/map and map it with the table.
Following is the structure I need to display in.
|     |Header1|Header2 |     
|_______|_______|_______|
|Txt R1 |value 1 |Value 2 |     
|_______|_______|_______|
|Txt R2 |Value 3 |value 4 |     
|_______|_______|_______|
All the views does not have any relation. Hence I should not create a VO and adding rows of the VO object.

Answer 1

Yes, you can do it. Create a pojo with the properties(column) you want to display in the table and create a list with the instances of pojos and then you can populate your table using the list.
Sample:
//POJO
public class SamplePojo {
private String col1;
private String col2;
public SamplePojo(String col1, String col2){
  this.col1 = col1;
  this.col2 = col2;
//add setter and getter methods
//Inside bean, prepare a list with pojo instances (Assume a getter exists for pojoList)
pojoList = new ArrayList();
pojoList .add(new SamplePojo("Value1", "Value2");
pojoList .add(new SamplePojo("Value3", "Value4");
etc.
//Inside jspx
<af:table value="#{<Bean>.pojoList}" var="pojo" ...>
   <af:column headerText="Header1" ..>
     <af:outputText value="#{pojo.col1}"/>
   <af:column>
   <af:column headerText="Header2" ..>
     <af:outputText value="#{pojo.col2}"/>
   <af:column>
</af:table>HTH
