Clearing ADF Faces Table row section when change persistence is ON

Clearing af:table row section when change persistence is ON involves two steps: 1. Clearing the selected rows using table API 2. Call the change manager API to replace the current change persistence with an empty set  Here is the code snippet for the above tasks: public void clearRowSelection ( RichTable table ) { //Clearing the selected rows using table API table . getSelectedRowKeys (). clear (); //Call change manager API to replace the //current change persistence with an empty set RowKeySetAttributeChange rks = new RowKeySetAttributeChange ( table . getClientId (), "selectedRowKeys" , new RowKeySetImpl ()); RequestContext . getCurrentInstance (). getChangeManager (). addComponentChange ( FacesContext . getCurrentInstance (), table , rks ); }

This creates some sort of overhead especially when you have partially fetched result set( for example data fetch caused by UI like scrollable table). The new parameter provides a way for users to strike an ideal balance by releasing JDBC connections only when a certain threshold is reached. This property defines maximum number of JDBC connections that all AM instances can hold wit
