Check if the VO Row is updated! ADF

• Add a Transient Attribute to the View Object (e.g Row Status(Integer / BigDecimal), make sure this attribute is made Updatable - Always)
• Define the Row Impl for the VO
• Getter method the row-

 
    /**
     * Gets the attribute value for the calculated attribute RowStatus.
     * @return the RowStatus
     */
    public Integer getRowStatus() {
        //return (Integer) getAttributeInternal(ROWSTATUS);
        byte entityState = this.getEntity(0).getEntityState();
        return new Integer(entityState);
    }

   

Integer values:

2 - Modified

0 - New

1 - Unmodified

-1 - Initialized 

// In the backingBean, We can update this row (e.g Last Updated by) only if the RowStatus is 2
