Hi Arun,
Thanks for responding immediately..!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<pageDefinition xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/uimodel" version="11.1.2.60.81" id="Dept01PageDef"
Package="com.polaris.reporting.view.pageDefs" ControllerClass="com.polaris.reporting.view.CustomPage">
<parameters/>
<executables>
<variableIterator id="variables"/>
<iterator Binds="EmpVO1" RangeSize="25" DataControl="AppModuleDataControl" id="EmpVO1Iterator"/>
<searchRegion Binds="EmpVO1Iterator" Criteria="" Customizer="oracle.jbo.uicli.binding.JUSearchBindingCustomizer"
id="EmpVO1Query"/>
<iterator Binds="DummyVo2" RangeSize="25" DataControl="AppModuleDataControl" id="DummyVo2Iterator"/>
</executables>
<bindings>
<tree IterBinding="EmpVO1Iterator" id="EmpVO1">
<nodeDefinition DefName="com.polaris.reporting.model.EmpVO" Name="EmpVO10">
<AttrNames>
<Item Value="Comm"/>
<Item Value="Deptno"/>
<Item Value="Empno"/>
<Item Value="Ename"/>
<Item Value="Hiredate"/>
<Item Value="Job"/>
<Item Value="Mgr"/>
<Item Value="Sal"/>
</AttrNames>
</nodeDefinition>
</tree>
</bindings>
</pageDefinition>
I just want to know how the above page-definition file works.. I want to know the functionality of the tags like <executables>,<bindings> . If possible can u plz tell me the java classes that are associated with the page definition file
