Question on "Master Detail page using ADF" sample

Question

I downloaded the "Master Detail page using ADF" sample application. I modified editDepartment.jsp page to include the Commit button as follows:
<html:submit property="event_Commit">Save and Commit</html:submit>
When I go to edit a department record and click on the new "Save and Commit" button, I SQLed the DEPARTMENTS table and noticed that the edits were not commited. I also restarted the embedded OC4J server and still get the same results. For some reason, the department view object contains the modification but the entity object doesn't. Why?

Answer 1

Scott,
My colleague suggested a workaround, which is to explicitly include the detail table's id in the master table's partialTargets list. So, for example, in MasterDetailDP.uix, changing:
<table model="${bindings.DepartmentsView1}"
       id="DepartmentsView111"
       partialRenderMode="multiple"
       partialTargets="_uixState">to:
<table model="${bindings.DepartmentsView1}"
       id="DepartmentsView111"
       partialRenderMode="multiple"
       partialTargets="_uixState EmployeesView312">...will cause the detail table to be updated when sorting the master table.
There is some question about whether sorting a table should actually cause the currently selected row to change - we're still discussing this point.
