Urgent, how to refresh a form with a returned parameter?

Question

Hi people,
I am working in web application using EJB and ADF.
In the main page I have a form and a "search" button.
The "search" button opens a popup window that displays the same form's data in a table with selection and submit. I want to choose a record from the table then submit, close the popup, back to the main page and refresh the form so the current record shows by the form is the record that I have choosen in the popup window.
I did the following:
Created named query "MyEntitySearch"
@NamedQuery(name = "MyEntity.Search",query="select o from myEntity o where o.id = :id"
I made some things so that if id == null -> return all records of the table
else return the selected record.
I dragged and dropped the same method in the main page and in the popup.
In the popup: the submit action listener takes the id of the selected row and close the popup.
public String commandButton1_action() {
System.out.println("retID");
JUCtrlValueBindingRef selectedRowData=(JUCtrlValueBindingRef)
this.getTable1().getSelectedRowData();//return the selected table from the interface
RowImpl row =(RowImpl)selectedRowData.getRow();//get the selected row myEntity selectedValue=(myEntity)row.getDataProvider();//from the entity bean
System.out.println("ID = "+selectedValue.getId());
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(selectedValue,null); //close the dialog window and send the value
return null;
In the main page backing been:
private Long ID=null;
//in the return action listener of the "search" button :
public void ret_action(ReturnEvent returnEvent) {
MyEntity myentity = (myEntity)returnEvent.getReturnValue();
//**return the selected row from the dialog window
ID=(Long)myentity.getId();
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding operationBinding =
bindings.getOperationBinding("queryMyEntitySearch");
operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("ID","id");
operationBinding.execute();
System.out.println(ID+"the returned value");
I made the form partial triggers with "search" button, immediate and autosubmitt.
After all of that, unfortunately the form doesn't change its current record to the selected id record.
The returned selected ID from the popup is returned correctly when I printed it. But no changes in the form.
Please to those who know or faced the same problem; I am waiting.
Regards.

Hi,
if you need to access the return value of a method you need to ceate an attribute binding for its result set. Go to the pagedef file, create a new attribute binding and choose the method's result item. Then reference the attribute binding.attributename.inputValue
