UIX lists

Question

I'm developing a UIX BC Application using J Developer. I want to create a choice list providing the attribute values (attrValue) for a specified attribute name (attrName). I want to create the following type of list in my UIX page:
<bc4j:rootAppModuleScope name="SUBJECT" >
<contents>
<bc4j:viewObjectScope name="SomeViewName" >
<contents>
<bc4j:list name="subj" attrName="SUBJECT">
<contents>
<option text="John" value="12314"/>
<option text="Gabe" value="45746"/>
<option text="Nadia" value="36722"/>
</contents>
</bc4j:list>
</contents>
</bc4j:viewObjectScope>
</contents>
</bc4j:rootAppModuleScope>
When I try to add this to the code below, the attribute values are recognised as attribute names. I want to add this list to the UIX page below so instead of providing a text input for the attribute values, the user has to select a value for a specific attribute name. How can I add the type of list specified above to the UIX page described below? Thanks.
The code for my UIX page is:

Answer 1

Yes that's exactly what I'd like to do. I'm using J Dev 9.03.
If that can't be done for any reason, then I'd like to have three AttrName lists with corresponding AttrValues for each list. But I'd prefer to use the method you've described. Thanks, J
