Refreshing the screen that has af:table

Question

Hi,
I have an Entity X, and I have an Edit screen where I can update attributes values of X Objects. On the Edit screen(JSPX), I have OutputText, InputText, selectOneChoice, selectBooleanCheckbox, and af:table components. On the Edit Screen I also have copy capability, the user can pick another Object of X and copy all its attributes values to the current object. When the copy is done, the copied values are instantly displayed on the screen for all the components except the af:table components(certain rows should be selected after the copy is done). I tried to refresh the page using the below code but didn’t help
protected void refreshCurrentPage(){
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
String currentView = context.getViewRoot().getViewId();
ViewHandler vh = context.getApplication().getViewHandler();
UIViewRoot x = vh.createView(context, currentView);
context.setViewRoot(x);
x.setViewId(context.getViewRoot().getViewId());
I tried to add the table as a partialTrigger using the below code but that didn’t help
AdfFacesContext adfContext = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
adfContext.addPartialTarget(compsTableComponent);
I have been struggling with this for days, can anyone suggest any solutions to it. I use ADF Business Components
Thanks :(

Hi,
you lost me in the listing of components and what they do on the edit page. But I think that they are irrelevant for the question you ask anyway. So here are the options
1) call facesContext.getExternalContext.redirect("/yourViewId.jspx");
or
2) try refreshing the surrounding cotainer of the table. Sometimes its not the component you need to refresh, but the parent container
