Iterator Refresh Question

Question

Hello there,
i have a case where i have a search screen that is based on a table , let's say employees, the results is an ADF Read Only table. I brought the department name from the deparments View object to the employees View object so i can see the name as well as the id in my Results. Now i have a button Create , when i create an employee and enter a department id and then press save , the page results to the search screen where the new record i created appears with the department id but without the department name.
My primary thought was to set the refresh iterator property but i'm not being able to solve my problem.
Anyone can help me ?

In your backing bean, if you have access to the binding container, run something like the following:
DCIteratorBinding iter = (DCIteratorBinding)bindings.get("MyIteratorName");
iter.execute();You can gain access to the binding container by doing the following:
1. Define an instance-level field in the backing bean:
private BindingContainer bindings;2. Add a getter and setter for the field:
    public BindingContainer getBindings() {
        return bindings;
    public void setBindings(BindingContainer bindings) {
        this.bindings = bindings;
    }3. Add a managed-property to the definition of your backing bean in faces-config.xml:
  <managed-bean>
    <managed-bean-name>myBackingBean</managed-bean-name>
    <managed-bean-class>com.acme.backing.MyBackingBean</managed-bean-class>
    <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
    <managed-property>
      <property-name>bindings</property-name>
      <value>#{bindings}</value>
    </managed-property>
  </managed-bean>If you don't want to add a managed property to the bean, you can locate the BindingContainer like this:
FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Application app = ctx.getApplication();
ValueBinding bind = app.createValueBinding("#{bindings}");
BindingContainer bindings = (BindingContainer)bind.getValue(ctx);
