Ever wondered how to intercept ADF table column show/hide event from ADF Panel Collection component? Yes, you could use ADF MDS functionality to store user preference for table visible columns. But what if you would want to implement it yourself without using MDS? Actually, this is possible through custom persistence manager class. I will show you how.
If you don't know what I'm talking about. Check below screenshot, this popup comes out of the box with ADF Panel Collection and it helps to manage table visible columns. Pretty much useful, especially for large tables:
Obviously, we would like to store user preference and next time the user comes back to the form, he should see previously stored setup for the table columns. One way to achieve this is to use out of the box ADF MDS functionality. But what if you don't want to use it? Still possible - we can catch all changes done through Manage Columns popup in custom Change Manager class. Extend from SessionChangeManager and override only a single method - addComponentChange. This is the place where we intercept changes and could log them to DB for example (later on form load, we could read table setup and apply it before fragment is rendered):
Register custom Change Manager class in web.xml:
Manage Columns popup is out of the box functionality offered by ADF Panel Collection component:
Method addComponentChange will be automatically invoked and you should see similar output when changing table columns visibility:
