Programatically making a tab dirty in UI Shell

Question

Hi,
Is there any other way to check whether the current tab is dirty before closing it apart from the one given in doc?
Thanks.

In the method that is invoked on tab close:
boolean isTransDirty = false; // holds the transaction state of the dynamic tab content for which close event is fired
try{
DCBindingContainer dcBindingContainer = (DCBindingContainer) AdfUtils.resolveExpression("#{bindings}");
dcBindingContainer = (DCBindingContainer)dcBindingContainer.getExecutableBindings().get(this.getSelectedTabIndex());
if(dcBindingContainer != null){
for( Object exeBinding : dcBindingContainer.getExecutableBindings() ) {
isTransDirty = isTransDirty(exeBinding);
if(isTransDirty){
break;
System.out.println(" is Trans Dirty : " + isTransDirty);
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
// method isTransDirty(Object ..)
private boolean isTransDirty(Object exeBinding){
boolean isDirty = false;
try{
if(exeBinding instanceof JUIteratorBinding ){
JUIteratorBinding juIteratorBinding = (JUIteratorBinding) exeBinding;
System.out.println(" Iterator : " juIteratorBinding.getName() "\t" + "D.C : " + juIteratorBinding.getDataControl().getName());
isDirty = juIteratorBinding.getDataControl().isTransactionDirty();
if(isDirty){
System.out.println(" Dirty because of " + juIteratorBinding.getName());
return isDirty;
}else if(exeBinding instanceof DCTaskFlowBinding){
DCTaskFlowBinding dcTaskFlowBinding = (DCTaskFlowBinding) exeBinding;
for( Object taskflowExeBinding : dcTaskFlowBinding.getExecutableBindings() ) {
isDirty = isTransDirty(taskflowExeBinding);
if(isDirty){
return isDirty;
}else if(exeBinding instanceof JUFormBinding){
JUFormBinding jUFormBinding = (JUFormBinding) exeBinding;
for( Object juFormIterBind : jUFormBinding.getIterBindingList() ) {
isDirty = isTransDirty(juFormIterBind);
if(isDirty){
return isDirty;
for( Object juFormExeBinding : jUFormBinding.getExecutableBindings() ) {
isDirty = isTransDirty(juFormExeBinding);
if(isDirty){
return isDirty;
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
hope this helps Vinod ;)
