ADF: Creating a custom train button bar, reflecting the disabled state

Requirement

In some cases there is a need to obtain more control over the ADF train button bar. The generated default does not allow to add an additional actionListener.

Environment

JDeveloper/ADF 11.1.1.7

Solution

There is a simple solution I found on http://www.adftips.com/2010/10/adf-ui-how-to-specify-actionlistener.html to create custom buttons for the previous / next functionality.

But there is still one thing missing. The buttons are always enabled. Unfortunataly there is no easy way to set the disabled property right from the given trainModel that is accessible by EL.

To solve this we create a managed bean as follows:

Now it is possible to bind the properties for disabled status
