Add an isDirty attribute to your entity

Here is a useful Groovy expression that can be used to add a transient attribute to your Entity that will return true if any attribute in your entity is new or has been modified

 (entityState != 1)

See Image below

Then add this attribute to your view object and use it in an expression to highlight rows that have been modified and not yet commited,.

 inlineStyle="#{row.isDirty ? 'background-color:#FFF9B3;' : ''}"







 Here's another Groovy expression that will display the original posted value of any attribute in your entity that has been modified but not yet posted

adf.object.getPostedAttribute(adf.object.getAttributeIndexOf("Name"))

For an overview of using Groovy expression in ADF see this white paper by Grant Ronald
