Reading selected values from af:selectManyListbox

Question

Hi
got af:selectManyListbox in the page with the dept_id as the base attribute and dept_name as the display attribute.
Since its multi select i'm able to read the selected values using array as per the following code
            BindingContext bc1 = BindingContext.getCurrent();
            DCBindingContainer binding1 = (DCBindingContainer)bc1.getCurrentBindingsEntry();
                JUCtrlListBinding listBindings1 = (JUCtrlListBinding)binding1.get("DEPTVIEW1");     
                Object str[] = listBindings1.getSelectedValues();
                System.out.println("after  Object str[] = listBindings1.getSelectedValues();");
                for (int i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
                    System.out.println(str[i]);
which is returning the dept_id s since its the base attribute
say
2
3
6
on basis of selection
I got to retrieve the DEPT_NAME too?
How to fetch the DEPT_NAME which is the display attribute??
Bindings has the DEPTVIEW1 in the variables. so i cant separately access the DEPT_NAME too from bindings.
Thanks

Hey chaya,
I use a similar method of what you use, but i use it with selectionEvents but take a look at my code and see if it can help you:
        //get access to the master table to read selected row keys
        RichTable rt = (RichTable) selectionEvent.getSource();
        RowKeySet rks = rt.getSelectedRowKeys();
        while (selectedRowsIterator.hasNext()) {
            List rowKey = (List) selectedRowsIterator.next();
            //make the row current
            rt.setRowKey(rowKey);
            JUCtrlHierNodeBinding wrappedRow = (JUCtrlHierNodeBinding) rt.getRowData();
            Row rw = wrappedRow.getRow();
            long var_dimCoinInt = (Long) rw.getAttribute("PkCoin");

Frederico.
