using List for storing data

Hi,

i created a child object for contact. In this child contact i am using getter for childContact to retrieve information in visualforce page. the problem is, everytime i add this information to a list, it only displays the latest information entered, not previous values

 

 

<apex:page standardController="childContact__c" extensions="childContact" >
 <apex:form >
 <apex:pageBlock >
     <apex:pageBlockSection >
     
         <apex:inputField value="{!childContac.Date_Graduated__c}"/>
         <apex:inputField value="{!childContac.Date_Started__c}"/>
         <apex:inputField value="{!childContac.favorite_professor__c}"/>
         <apex:inputField value="{!childContac.School_attended__c}"/>
     </apex:pageBlockSection>
     <apex:pageBlockButtons location="bottom" ><apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}"/>
<apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}"/>
     </apex:pageBlockButtons>
 </apex:pageBlock>
 <apex:pageBlock >
 <apex:pageBlockSection >
 <apex:pageblockTable value="{!fetchTable}" var="fetch" >

 <apex:column value="{!fetch.Date_Started__c}" />
 <apex:column value="{!fetch.Date_Graduated__c}"/>
  <apex:column value="{!fetch.favorite_professor__c}"/>
   <apex:column value="{!fetch.School_attended__c}"/>
 </apex:pageblockTable>
....
....
....

 

and the extention for this is

public with sharing class childContact {

public childContact(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {}

ID id2=apexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('rid');
List<childContact__c> listContact= new List<childContact__c>();

    public childContact__c childContac {
          get     {
     if(childContac ==null)
        childContac = new childContact__c();
        return childContac ;
                  }
        set;
         }
public PageReference Save() {

childContac.contact__c=id2;

listContact.add(childContac);
return null;
}

public List<childContact__c> fetchTable {
get{
    return listContact;
}
    set;
}}

 

please tell me where am i doing it wrong, or where do i need modification.

I think the problem here is that you aren't creating a new child contact after you've added to this list, so you are effectively overwriting the values each time.

 

Try changing your save method to:

 

 

public PageReference Save() {

childContac.contact__c=id2;

listContact.add(childContac);
childContac=new childContact__c();
return null;
}
