WebMethods binding table data

Question

I have a simple WebMethods user task which has some simple string data and also a document list in the input document. This document list has 4 fields.

The task view has fields for the strings and an aysnc table for the document list to which I have added a 'Add Row' table button.

The problem is the data. Any existing rows that are edited are reflected in the pipeline after the task has been completed but if I add a new row along with values, then the new row is ignored. I have bound the data directly to the table and also tried a content provider to handle the data but neither method passes the updated table data to the output.

Thanks Rich

Richard, Try with below options.

1. As the table is getting edited on UI - remove the sourceArray/sourceList binding of the content provider/ table provider. (To Populate this provider with list of values,
   • create a new action
   • Using data flow implementation assign the provider sourceArray/sourceList to the actual source data list/Array.
   • Invoke this service before rendering the page (ie., in Initialize method if at the loading of page).

2.Change the provider class to "com.webmethods.caf.faces.data.object.ListTableContentProvider" manually inside the source code and all respective places. (To verify open bindings view and expand the provider. It should not show the "Refresh" action.)

3.On submit form button invoke a action with assigns the provider sourceArray/sourceList to the Target data array/list.
