First of all wishing a very Happy New Year to all of you, New Year is like a blank page , fill it with happiness and good memories
This post is about a simple requirement - How to get selected slice value of dvt:pieChart ?
So for this we have to create a custom selection Listener in managed bean that will be called whenever user selects any slice of pieChart
If you see documentation of pieChart it tells about two properties -
Selection of data items can be enabled using the dataSelection attribute. Selection can be processed using selectionListener on the server or the selection event type on the client.
See the steps to implement selection listner -
All Done :) Sample ADF Application- Download
Cheers :) Happy Learning

dataSelection | String | Yes | Valid Values: none, single, multiple Default Value: none Specifies the data selection mode for the chart. Valid values are "none" (Default), "single", and "multiple". If selection is "multiple", marquee selection will be enabled for non-pie charts. |
See the steps to implement selection listner -
- Create a Fusion Web Application using Employees table of HR Schema
- Create a page and drop Employees viewObject as pieChart on page
- Select pieChart in structure window and in property inspector set DataSelection property to single and create a Selection Listener in managed bean
- Copy value property of pieChart, it'll be like this- #{bindings.Employees1.collectionModel} Now see code in selection listener that sets selected row as current row and then from iterator we can get current row and from that row we can get all attributes
- Run and check application, pie looks like this
Select any slice-
It's Employee name appears on log
