Transaction state BUG in TP3?

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to make a backing bean that I have used in some Jdev 10.1.3.2 ADF Faces applications to retrieve the transaction state from an EL expression in a jspx page. I use it to disable some functions in the page when there are pending changes, and so force the user to save or discard them before making anything else.
The bean declaration int adfc-config.xml is:
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>transaccion</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>viewcontroller.backing.Transaccion</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
<managed-property>
<property-name>bindings</property-name>
<value>#{bindings}</value>
</managed-property>
</managed-bean>
and the bean implementation is:
package viewcontroller.backing;
import oracle.adf.model.binding.DCBindingContainer;
public class Transaccion
private DCBindingContainer bindings;
public void setBindings(DCBindingContainer bindings) {
this.bindings = bindings;
public DCBindingContainer getBindings() {
return bindings;
public boolean getIsDirty()
boolean dirty = getBindings().getBindingContext().getDefaultDataControl()
.getApplicationModule().getTransaction().isDirty();
return dirty;
I have put the following element in a JSF page to test it:
<af:outputText value="#{transaccion.isDirty}" />
and I always get a false value.
I have also tried the following code in the bean class:
public boolean getIsDirty()
boolean dirty = getBindings().getBindingContext().getDefaultDataControl()
.isTransactionDirty();
return dirty;
with the same result.
Is it a bug?
Thanks,
Marc

Hi,
I don't think it is a partial submit. I submit the form with normal command buttons like these ones:
<af:commandButton text="Submit"
binding="#{backing_marcas.commandButton1}"
id="commandButton1"/>
<af:commandButton actionListener="#{bindings.CreateInsert.execute}"
text="CreateInsert"
disabled="#{!bindings.CreateInsert.enabled}"
binding="#{backing_marcas.commandButton6}"
id="commandButton6"/>
Furthermore, these commit and rollback buttons activate and deactivate correctly without need of using PPR refresh:
<af:commandButton actionListener="#{bindings.Commit.execute}"
text="Commit"
disabled="#{!bindings.Commit.enabled}"
binding="#{backing_marcas.commandButton7}"
id="commandButton7"/>
<af:commandButton actionListener="#{bindings.Rollback.execute}"
text="Rollback"
disabled="#{!bindings.Rollback.enabled}"
immediate="true"
binding="#{backing_marcas.commandToolbarButton1}"
id="commandToolbarButton1">
<af:resetActionListener/>
</af:commandButton>
And if I print the value of the dirty variable in the getIsDirty function of the bean class, I also get a false value.
Thanks,
