Insert a row in master detail view & jboRowKey parameter

Question

Hi
I hava a minor problem.
On JSP page I have edit form for master view, beyond edit form is browse of detail view. I would like to insert or edit a row on master view and after update and commit, a would like to stay on the same page to insert some rows into detail view.
When I editing rows it is Ok, becose jboRowKey parameter is always the same (to find proper row on master view).
Problem appears when I want to Insert a row into master view, becose after transaction is commited, jboRowKey parameter is changed.
Primary key on master table is sequence and it is inserted by (preinsert) trigger before commit.
If anybody has some idea to solve this problem, please help.

Without knowing exactly the technology you are using, (JDev version, BC4J JSP tags/Components tags?),
In general with BC4J after you do a commit, you do not necessarily have a record pointer on the new record that you just insert on the master table, so you would have to locate it again.
Here is one way you could do this.
After you commit your new inserted record, you could go back to a master "browse" page which shows the records of your master table along with a link to it's corresponding detail page. Encoded in the link you could pass the rowkey of the master record as a parameter and then in the detail page you could locate the master record that was clicked on by using the Find operation of the Row tag. When the master row is located, you automatically would be pointing to the correct detail records.
In this case since the master was just created, there wouldn't be any detail records yet. You could then create new detail records for the new master..
Let me know if this helps..
