Move Group in Application Defenition Editor

Question

Hi,
I'm busy with a little PoC and I try to change the sequence of my screens/Groups via the Application Definition Editor (JHeadstart_10131_26) I encountered two problems, however moving Groups normally did not cause any problems before! My problem was reproducible and might be due to the significant number of Foreign Key relations in the database?
Problem 1:
Generated a First-Cut application and all menu (Tabs) navigations worked fine. Navigations did NOT work correctly anymore for the (new) first Group, up to the previous first Group (!) after moving the First Group below any other Group.
Problem 2:
The 'Tabname' properties of the affected Groups did not correlate anymore with the Displayed names. So, wrong screen where displayed when a Tab was selected.
Solution:
-     Moved all Groups to the desired position, except the first Group;
-     Regenerated the application and faced again problems with Tabname properties. Changed ALL ‘Tabnames‘ in the Application Definition Editor (had to be done anyway), applied changes and regenerated the application;
-     Everything looked/functioned normal. Moved first Group down, regenerated and tested. No errors…
I did NOT encounter this problem/behaviour before with any “How to” example or other little application. Please explain this behaviour and it’s no problem to mail my application if your Team would like to reproduce it.

Answer 1

Steven,
I’ll try if this problem occurs when I generate a First-Cut application based on the HR schema, but I used this version of JHeadstart and JDeveloper for several ‘how to’ instructions, also using HR… However I easily managed to find a solution for all oddities, I did have two other strange problems:
·     Resource Bundles where emptied when they where opened in the editor and the Jheadstart Generator did not stop anymore (waited 10 minutes) It was clear that de Resource Bundles where processed based on de OC4J Server Log. Solution: close Resource Bundles, rebuild View project. I thought this was only relevant in case of Java Classes?!?
·     I could not regenerate my application after adding a Static Domain (reproducible) with EL statement to retrieve Entries from the Bundles. No problems occurred when the first Static Domain was immediately applied to one or more items!
I’ll report the result with HR and my offer that I can send you the case stands. It’s a small data model (< 10 tables) I finished my PoC almost, so these problems are not blocking.
Greetings,
Michael
