CSV files with ADF CSVParser Example.

Hi all,

This is a small example on how to use a CSVParser which comes along with ADF.

oracle.adf.model.adapter.dataformat.csv.CSVParser;


We are going to create a small example using a csv file.

The project can be found in the following repository:
ADFCSVParserExample
https://github.com/mox8iro/ADF-SamplesR2


We are going to use a simple csv file and we are going to upload it, parse it and create rows in the corresponding view object.

with the use of CSVParser, things are a bit more easy. Just follow the screens below and you will understand why.
First, we have to create a project.. We will work on a simple project based on HR Schema.
We will the af:inputFile component for this example. In the value Change Listener we write the following:

as you can see above, the parse calls the createRow method through the bindings. it is not the default adf operation.  it is a custom method:

and then we expose it to the client interface.

add it in the bindings as a method action.

 place the appropriate partial Triggers from and have the inputfile autoSubmit true and here it is!
in the below screen shot

Aaaand that is it! Simple isnt?
