One bind variable to multiple ViewObjects

Question

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3 tool.
I can bind the LOV value (e.g. Department LOV) that user selects
and filter the SQL query based on the user LOV selection from ViewObjects(e.g. Employee VO) I created.
The way I did this as follow: (used ADF BC template)
1. Create read only department view Object for LOV (ie. deptVO)
2. Create Employee entity
3. Create updatable employee view object. (i.e. EmpVO)
- Have select statment with bind variable.
(e.g. select employee_id, name, email, department_id
from employees
where department_id = :departmentId
- Create departmentId bind variable.
4. create application module to have these two view objects created. so it can be drag and droped from Data Control Palatte.
5. On JSF JSP page, expand EmpVO | Operations, drag and drop ExecuteWithParams to the page.(with parameter form)
6. Then expand EmpVO | Operations | ExecuteWithParams,
drag and drop departmentId attribute to the parameter form then
choose Single Selections | ADF Select One Choice from the context menu to create LOV.
7. then drag and drop the EmpVO as ADF read only Table to the JSP page.
This works perfectly for one employee VO.
However, if I add another view object (e.g. Job VO where there is column department_id )
to the model, and want to bind same department LOV as the select statement predicate from the view object (e.g. JobVO), How can I achive this?
For example, if the user selects the Marketing department from the LOV,
two ADF read only tables (one for EmpVO and the other is for JobVO) should return only for Marketing department.
How can I bind one LOV to the multiple differnt View objects?
If this is not supported, is there any way I can do this?
Thanks for your help.
John
