messagelovinput in oaf

messagelovinput is the bean in OAF to create the LOV items in the OAF page. If we want to show the lov for some items in the OAF page then we need to choose that item style 'messagelovinput'. There are two beans in the 'messagelovinput' it means when we create item or fields in the OAF page as item style 'messagelovinput' then oaf automatically creates the 'lovmap' bean for each messagelovinput item in the oaf page. The use of lovmap is to create columns mappings of the LOV columns and the item or column in the OAF Page. In the messagelovinput we specifies the path of the External LOV region by which , lov region start works under this 'messagelovinput' column in the oaf page. If you want to learn how we can create lov in the OAF page and how to attach external lov to the 'messagelovinput' then you refer this below post.
