Adf faces skin-family change for page or component

Question

I know how to change this by editing adf-faces-config.xml tile. Is it possible to change the skin-family at a page level or for even for an individual component?

Answer 1

You can change the skin at the page level by setting the value of the skin-family property to an expression language:
<adf-faces-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/view/faces/config">
<skin-family>#{skinFamily.skinSelection}</skin-family>
</adf-faces-config>
Where skinFamily is a managed bean and skinSelecion can be implemented as follows:
public String getSkinSelection()
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
UIViewRoot viewRoot = context.getViewRoot();
String viewId = viewRoot.getViewId();
System.out.println(viewId);
if ( viewId.startsWith("/blaf/") ) {
skinSelection = "oracle";
else if ( viewId.startsWith("/minimal/") ) {
skinSelection = "minimal";
else if ( viewId.startsWith("/vantive/") ) {
skinSelection = "vantive";
return skinSelection;
If you want to have two components, let's say, two tables, at the same page but with a different style you can accomplish that by using the inline-style tag.
