OAMessageRadioButtonBean - the selected value changes after a processFormRe

Question

Hi,
I have a page with 3 OAMessageRadioButtonBean grouped together
When I do a search (processFormRequest) I read the value of my radiobutton group and
do different search depending on the value. It works fine, but when the page is displayed with the search result, the last radiobutton in the group is always selected.
Anyone how know how to keep the original value or to set it again. You are not allowed to do that in the processFormRequest.
Regards Martin

I had the same problem few months back.
Here is the code to handle the issue. In the processFormRequest code something like below to forward to the same page (i.e to call processRequest), with one parameter to indicate which radio button selected ( in this case, strEventName)
if((strEventName!=null) && (strEventName.endsWith("Filter")))
String strFilterCode = pageContext.getParameter("LineFilterGroup");
HashMap params2 = new HashMap(2);
params2.put("QotHdrId",qotHdrId);
params2.put("FilterCode",strFilterCode);
pageContext.setForwardURLToCurrentPage(params2
,true
,OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_NO
,OAWebBeanConstants.IGNORE_MESSAGES);
// Serializable [] updParams = {qotHdrId,strFilterCode};
// am.invokeMethod("applyLinesFilter",updParams);
And in the processRequest, based on the value in the params, set the RB to be selected.
here is some code
String strFilterCode = pageContext.getParameter("FilterCode");
if (!("".equals(strFilterCode)) && strFilterCode!=null)
String qHdrId = pageContext.getParameter("QotHdrId");
if ("SALES".equals(strFilterCode))
salesBtn.setSelectedValue(strFilterCode);
tableBean.setText("Quote Lines - Sales Items Only");
else if ("ALL".equals(strFilterCode))
allBtn.setSelectedValue(strFilterCode);
tableBean.setText("Quote Lines - All");
else
invalidBtn.setSelectedValue(strFilterCode);
tableBean.setText("Quote Lines - Invalid Lines Only");
am.invokeMethod("setQotCtx",params);
Serializable [] modeParams = {strFilterCode};
am.invokeMethod("handleEditModeChangeEvent",modeParams);
Serializable [] filterParams = {qHdrId,strFilterCode};
am.invokeMethod("applyLinesFilter",filterParams);
// throw new OAException(strFilterCode,OAException.INFORMATION);
Hope this helps.
