jbo:InputSelectLOV Question

Question

I have a BC4J/JSP application with no struts or UIX in 9.0.3.3 (1025). I have some questions about the LOV tag. I want to use this to popup an LOV that passes the ID of a field back to the originating form. I want that form to be able to display friendly text instead of the ID.
For example, lets say that I have an employee edit screen which allows you to add a deparment to an employee by selecting them in a LOV. The tag for the LOV might look like this:
<jbo:InputSelectLOV datasource="dsEmp" dataitem="DeptId" displaydatasource="dsDept" displaydataitem="DeptName" displayvaluedataitem="DeptId" formname="myForm" ></jbo:InputSelectLOV>
This would put a text field on the page with a button next to it. When the user clicks on the button it pops up a window with all the department names. The user clicks on a name and in the original field the id is shown. I want the Name to be shown.
The other concern I have is that it doesn't indicate which choice was previously selected in the LOV. I.E. if we are editing an employee and changing their department, I want the LOV to indicate what the department was before we opened the LOV..
Is there any way to implement these ideas without writing my own Javascript to handle it?

Answer 1

I tried using a bc4j view object that I pass value to
but got an error, but when I used datatable to display
the same record, I got what I was looking for!
Have you tried creating an inputLOV with a view that
takes in parameters at runtime?
Thanks for all your help!
see below:
<jbo:ApplicationModule id="AppModule" definition="LOVprj.AppModule" releasemode="Stateful" />
<jbo:DataSource appid="AppModule" id="dsdocV" viewobject="DocView1" />
<jbo:SetWhereClauseParam datasource= "dsdocV" index="0" value="value1" />
<jbo:SetWhereClauseParam datasource= "dsdocV" index="1" value="value2" />
Commented out Data Table used to test view.
=============================================
<%--
<table border="1" width=50%>
<tr>
<td><jbo:DataTable datasource="dsdocV" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
--%>
LOV Syntax
==========
<form name="doc_lov" >
<jbo:InputSelectLOV datasource="SpotsBc4jModule.SpMastersView1" dataitem="DocumentId" displaydatasource="dsdocV" displaydataitem="DocumentId" displayvaluedataitem="DocumentId" formname="doc_lov" ></jbo:InputSelectLOV>
</form>
