Oracle ADF – How to show a grid (data list) without using a Data Control

Following example explains how to show grid without using data control and using a java list in ADF

 Sample table source which is shown above image.      

 

  <af:table var="r" rowBandingInterval="0" id="t26o" width="350" contentDelivery="immediate" autoHeightRows="10"

                value="#{pageFlowScope.TestBean.studentList}">

            <af:column sortable="false" headerText="Name" id="c1171cido">

              <af:outputText value="#{r.name}" id="ot223cido"/>

            </af:column>

            <af:column sortable="false" headerText="Age" id="c169emae">

              <af:outputText value="#{r.age}" id="ot223emae"/>

            </af:column>

            <af:column sortable="false" headerText="Address" id="c169emao">

              <af:outputText value="#{r.address}" id="ot223emao"/>

            </af:column>            

     </af:table>

Bind Student list for above grid  

//studentList for grid

private List<Student> studentList = new ArrayList<Student>();

//Getter and Setter for studentList

public void setStudentList(List<TestBean.Student> studentList) {

        this.studentList = studentList;

}

public List<TestBean.Student> getStudentList() {

        return studentList;

}

Adding Students objects to list

//Add student objects for studentList 

 public void showPopup(ActionEvent actionEvent) {

        studentList.clear();//Clear previous data list

        studentList.add(new Student("Suresh", 28, "Colombo 6"));//Add student

        studentList.add(new Student("Nilum", 26, "Colombo 2"));//Add student

        ppStudents.show(new RichPopup.PopupHints());//Show grid in a popup

    }

This student class maps to above grid

//Student class, Which is shown in grid

public class Student {

       private String name;

       private int age;

       private String address;

       

       public Student(String name, int age, String address) {

          this.name = name;

          this.age = age;

          this.address = address;

       }

        public void setName(String name) {

            this.name = name;

        }

        public String getName() {

            return name;

        }

        public void setAge(int age) {

            this.age = age;

        }

        public int getAge() {

            return age;

        }

        public void setAddress(String address) {

            this.address = address;

        }

        public String getAddress() {

            return address;

        }

    }

All java codes implemented in TestBean.
