JSF hr schema passing parameters example JDev V10.1.3.2.0

Question

Hi All,
Is there a standard way of using the hr schema to "select an employee" to edit within an editEmp page by 1st choosing from a list of employees belonging to a department, then from this list select the employee to edit.
I have been able to select an employee to edit by creating a named query based on
the employee table and pass the value of a parameter (empName) to the editEmp page.
That works well.
I now wish to "select an employee" by 1st choosing from a list of employees belonging to a department, then from this list select the employee to edit.
ie. named query depNamedQuery with parameter called departmentName
then list all employees with this departmentId
then select an employee from this department list. Call editEmp and pass the employeeId parameter.
with thanks, Joe

hi,
I'm using Toplink to generate POJO, and the online demos such as the most current one on ADF, and using ADF with EJBs.
Both those demos illustrate parameter passing using defining parameters within a namedQuery or a MasterForm-DetailTable method BUT both do not illustrate using a af:SelectOneChoice dropDown list of department names on one JSF page then navigate to an ADF table of employees within that selected department, then navigate to an employeeEdit ADF form page for the selected employee.
The current online demo is a master-detail of department-Employee. One might have to use the next button to sequentially list all the departments to find the required employee.
Is there a declarative way of selecting the employee for edit by first selecting the departmentName from a dropDownList component?
