Hi Suchith,
I will tell you how to achieve your case using the framework itself;
1.- Add to your checkbox a setPropertyListener for each field you want to copy. So for the first one addressLine1 I assume the component value resides in your binding layer, you do
from=#{bindings.yourCheckBox.inputValue eq 'Y' ? bindings.addressLine1.inputValue : null}
to=#{bindings.otherAddressLine1.inputValue}
type='valueChange'
And the same for each field. All in the checkbox component.
Since this is a business rule, you should always aim to write this kind of logic in the model layer so you can create a method in your ViewObjectRowImpl named copyAddress() and in there you copy the values from one field to another field. Then you expose this method in the client interface and execute it when clicking the checkbox. Add autosubmit=true and partialTrigger to the panel containing your other fields to be refreshed.
Once again I am making a lot of assumptions about your model, but that is why you always need to first state the version of your JDeveloper, then give a clue about your model and where are the fields being stored and so on. So people can help you better.
