More and more people end up using ADF for applications that don't actually talk to a database backend but rather to Web services, Java classes, and SOA process instead. In these cases the ADF pages actually end up invoking methods and passing parameters to these methods. One question I got today was "how do I add a database driven LOV to such a parameter?".
The tricky part is that the LOV component - af:inputListOfValues - expects a specific data model to be able to show the advance searching the LOV offers. As a lazy developer I don't feel like creating a managed bean with this model and populating it manually from the database. Instead here is a little video that shows a no-coding possible solution.
I'm using ADF BC to get the LOV and data from the database. I then use a bit of binding trickery to eliminate the need for a managed bean with the model structure for the LOV. I associate the LOV model created for an ADF BC field with an LOV field that is mapped to the parameter being passed to the method.
