is it possible to use apex:relatedList to display a Parent Object's related items?

I have a custom object (Letter_Of_Agreement) that has an Account record as it's master.

 

I was hoping to be able to leverage the existing related list mechanism to display the Account's contacts on a visualforce page (the page is using the LOA controller). 

 

 

Is it possible to reference the parent relationship of an object in a related list in some way?   i.e. <apex:relatedList list="Account__r.Contacts"  />

 

No matter the variation I use, I get an error "List attribute parent name 'account/account__r/etc' is an invalid field name for entity LOA"

 

 

Should I just recreate the related list functionality & look with a custom query and some visualforce?

Check the subject attribute of the relatedList tag. Using that, you would be able to achieve what you want. Heres an example where I display the Contacts related list of Account from Opportunities standard controller

 

<apex:page standardController="Opportunity">
    <apex:detail relatedList="false"/>
    
    <apex:relatedList list="Contacts" subject="{!Opportunity.AccountId}"/>
</apex:page>

Rajesh,
 
thank you very much for pointing out what should have been obvious!  I thought I had checked the Standard Component docs already.
 
Next time I will 'look with my eyes and not my mouth.'  Or keyboard, in this case. :)

I have created a VF page. It has 3 fields. Prodcut Name , Product Family, Product description.
PRODUCT NAME is a lookup field to an object PRODUCT INFORMATION.
whenever Product Name is chosen it should auto populate Product Family and Product Description
