Using Multiple Selection (selectManyListbox & selectManyCheckbox component) in ADF

Hello All ,
This tutorial is based on use of selectManyListbox & selectManyCheckbox component in ADF to enable multiple selection.
Both component are same in functionality only somewhat different in look-feel.

Follow steps to use these component -

Create a fusion web application and create business components for Departments table of HR Schema

Now create a page and drop Departments Vo from data control on page as multiple selection (checkbox or listbox)

Now binding for this component is created in page-bindings, add a button on page to get total selected values

See how to get selected values in managed bean, JUCtrlListBinding is used to get selected values

import javax.faces.event.ActionEvent;

import oracle.adf.model.BindingContext;

import oracle.binding.BindingContainer;

import oracle.jbo.uicli.binding.JUCtrlListBinding;   

 public BindingContainer getBindings() {
        return BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
    }

    public void getSelectedValue(ActionEvent actionEvent) {

        JUCtrlListBinding listBindings = (JUCtrlListBinding)getBindings().get("DepartmentsView1");
        Object str[] = listBindings.getSelectedValues();
        for (int i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
            System.out.println(str[i]);
        }
    }

this method works for both listbox and checkbox, i have added all selected departments in a FacesMessage and displayed on page

Select All-

And Check-box component look like this-

Complete code written on 'Get Selected Values' button-

    /**Method to get BindingContainer of page
     * @return
     */
    public BindingContainer getBindings() {
        return BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
    }

    /**Method to get Selected Values
     * @param actionEvent
     */
    public void getSelectedValue(ActionEvent actionEvent) {

        JUCtrlListBinding listBindings = (JUCtrlListBinding)getBindings().get("DepartmentsView1");
        Object str[] = listBindings.getSelectedValues();
        StringBuilder saveMsg =
            new StringBuilder("<html><body><b><p style='color:red'>Selected Departments are-</p></b>");

        saveMsg.append("<ul>");
        for (int i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
            System.out.println(str[i]);
            saveMsg.append("<li> <b>" + str[i].toString() + "</b></li>");
        }

        saveMsg.append("</ul><br>");
        saveMsg.append("</body></html>");
        FacesMessage msg = new FacesMessage(saveMsg.toString());
        FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(null, msg);

    }
