Apply Filter on af:table column programmatically ,Invoke 'FilterableQueryDescriptor' through managed bean

Hello All
This tutorial is about a requirement of filtering af:table column through code,
to achieve this we can invoke FilterableQueryDescriptor (FilterableQueryDescriptor is an abstract subclass of QueryDescriptor. It adds support for filtering of data and is typically used by the table component to filter data from a query )

Suppose i have department table and i have to filter on department column-
  • Create a Fusion Web Application and business components for Departments (HR Schema) table
  • now drag table on page and bind it to bean
  • Now drop a input text and button on page to enter Department Name
  • bind input text to bean and create ActionListener on button to filter Department Table

  1. is there a new approach available as the getFilterCriteria method is now Deprecated in FilterableQueryDescriptor

    1. You can use getFilterConjunctionCriterion instead of getFilterCriteria method

    2. SO i was trying to do this
      RichTable tbl = this.getTable();
      FilterableQueryDescriptor filterQD = (FilterableQueryDescriptor)tbl.getFilterModel();
      ConjunctionCriterion cc = filterQD.getFilterConjunctionCriterion();

      the variable "cc" gives me null value. what am I missing ?

      check this about usage of - getFilterConjunctionCriterian
      and make sure to set filterable true for af:table

      Delete
  2. Hi, Yes I did filtermodel, filterVisible is set on the Table and the af column has filterable property set to true as well. Still it doesnt works.
    FilterableQueryDescriptor queryDescriptor = (FilterableQueryDescriptor) getSearchTabBind().getFilterModel();

    that queryDescriptor always return null for me.

      I have checked same code in Jdeveloper 12.1.3 and it is working for me, I am not sure what you have done wrong
      Is your table based on ViewObject or it is pojo based ?
