</jsp:root>
below is the backing bean created for the jspx page:
package view.backing.pages;
import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;
import oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.RichDocument;
import oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.RichForm;
import oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.layout.RichPanelGroupLayout;
import oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.layout.RichPanelStretchLayout;
import oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.layout.RichPanelTabbed;
import oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.layout.RichShowDetailItem;
import oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.nav.RichCommandButton;
public class Bb {
private RichForm f1;
private RichDocument d1;
private RichPanelStretchLayout psl1;
private RichPanelGroupLayout pgl1;
private RichCommandButton cb1;
private RichCommandButton cb2;
private RichPanelTabbed pt1;
private RichShowDetailItem sdi1;
private RichShowDetailItem sdi2;
public void setF1(RichForm f1) {
this.f1 = f1;
public RichForm getF1() {
return f1;
public void setD1(RichDocument d1) {
this.d1 = d1;
public RichDocument getD1() {
return d1;
public void setPsl1(RichPanelStretchLayout psl1) {
this.psl1 = psl1;
public RichPanelStretchLayout getPsl1() {
return psl1;
public void setPgl1(RichPanelGroupLayout pgl1) {
this.pgl1 = pgl1;
public RichPanelGroupLayout getPgl1() {
return pgl1;
public void setCb1(RichCommandButton cb1) {
this.cb1 = cb1;
public RichCommandButton getCb1() {
return cb1;
public void setCb2(RichCommandButton cb2) {
this.cb2 = cb2;
public RichCommandButton getCb2() {
return cb2;
public void setPt1(RichPanelTabbed pt1) {
this.pt1 = pt1;
public RichPanelTabbed getPt1() {
return pt1;
public void setSdi1(RichShowDetailItem sdi1) {
this.sdi1 = sdi1;
public RichShowDetailItem getSdi1() {
return sdi1;
public void setSdi2(RichShowDetailItem sdi2) {
this.sdi2 = sdi2;
public RichShowDetailItem getSdi2() {
return sdi2;
public String cb1_action() {
// Add event code here...
return null;
public String cb2_action() {
// Add event code here...
return null;
Wat method has to be coded inside cb1_action and cb2_action so that respective panels are opened.
