Howto: Iterate ADF BC from a managed bean from the View?

Question

Hi Everyone,
I've been trying to iterate a BC ADF object from a managed bean from the view layer. Here is what I have done so far, but I don't seem to get any records:
In faces-config.xml, I am passing in the BindingContext to the managed bean. (This is a session scoped bean).
<managed-property>
      <property-name>bindings</property-name>
      <property-class>oracle.adf.model.BindingContext</property-class>
      <value>#{data}</value>
    </managed-property>In the testPageDef.xml I have the executables and bindings setup:
  <executables>
    <iterator id="TestRO1Iterator" RangeSize="-1" Binds="TestRO1"
              DataControl="ApplicationControlDataControl"/>
  </executables>
  <bindings>
    <table id="TestRO1" IterBinding="TestRO1Iterator">
      <AttrNames>
        <Item Value="C1"/>
        <Item Value="C2"/>
      </AttrNames>
    </table>
</bindings>In my managed bean, in addition to the accessors for the bindingContext of bindings, I have:
             BindingContainer bc = getBindings().findBindingContainer("testPageDef");
             ControlBinding cb = bc.getControlBinding("TestRO1");
             RangeBinding rb = (RangeBinding)cb;
             List testList = rb.getRangeSet();
             Iterator testIter = testList.iterator();
             int testCount = testList.size();
             while (testIter.hasNext()) {
               Map attrs = (Map)testIter.next();
               System.out.println(attrs.get("C1")+","+attrs.get("C2"));     
               //Do some fancy stuff here with the values.
             }However, my testList.size() always returns 0.
Is this the right method to programatically access the data from the view layer from a managed bean, or have I missed something completely? Are there any working samples that I could take a look at?

Hi,
<managed-property>
<property-name>bindings</property-name>
<value>#{bindings}</value>
</managed-property>
private BindingContainer bindings= null;
public void setBindings(BindingContainer bc){
bindings = bc;
public BindingContainer getBindingContainer(){
return bindings;
DCIteratorBinding dciter = (DCIteratorBinding ) bc.get("TestRO1Iterator");
RowSetIterator rsi = dciter.getRowSetIterator();
while (rsi.hasNext()){
Row rw = (Row) rsi.next();
//Do some fancy stuff here with the values.
You find several examples in the developer guide and on the Internet
