Changing abbreviation values coming for Database in ADF view Object

Salman5Feb 10 2014 — edited Feb 10 2014

I am using ADF JDeveloper 11g Release 2


I am using Entity object called Project referring to actual database table. This table contains fileds that hold abbreviation values; for example this table have filed called STATUS that describe the current status for the project. this filed will have values like: 'A' for Approved, 'X' for Rejected, and so on.

In the interface( JSPX, or JSF Pages) I am just drag and drop the View object that refers to the Project Entity object. and the page will display the project records with their status as specified.

Question is:

Is there any way to change this observation values to the actual value somewhere; That is, Instead of having values like ( A, X,...) I want to have ( Approved, Rejected,...)

Answer

you can write in an el in the value of stauts field as "#{binding.status.inputValue=='A'?'Approved':'Rejected'}

Hi,

Why don't you create another column that will hold the display values?

So your table is going to be like this:

     Column_A: A, X

     Column_B: Approved, Rejected

You can display on the UI Column_B while storing Column_A in the DB.

Even though what vinaykumar2 suggested will work i would personally avoid it as this requires hard-coding values on the UI.

Thank you vinaykumar2,

What if there is more options other than Approved and Rejected conditions, how can I specify that in the Expression Language. some thing like:

if 'A' then Approved

else if 'X' then Rejected

else if 'C' Canceled

else if 'R' then Reviewed

else if .....

my point is there is many conditions.

I found the answer for nested condition in Expression Language in this thread:
