Oracle ADF skin editor tool

Hi,
Im using Oracle Jdeveloper 11.1.1.4.
This https://blogs.oracle.com/jdevotnharvest/entry/suggested_skin_editor_workflow blog says that for using Skin editor in 11.1.1.4 i need to download Standlone Skin editor. Is this tool a licensed software, because in the download section of the ADF, it says that it is "OTN Developer License Agreement." what this means, can we use this tool for free in a organisation.

Hi,
you can download the editor here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/downloads/index.html
about the license, I don´t know(wait experts responses) but the editor is for custom adf applications and then you need a ADF license
For free organisation you should see ADF Essentials :http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/overview/adfessentials-1719844.html

Working with WebCenter Portal & ADF Skin Editor Together

Hi all.
I want to ask to webcenter community developers about the best practice to work with ADF Skin Editor for WebCenter Apps.
I usually deployed my ADF Skin JAR Libraries as Shared Libs and consumed them from pure ADF Applications without problems.
However, in WebCenter Portal Framework Applications resources are readed at MDS Path: /oracle/webcenter/portalapp/skins/... (like portal-skin.css) or at the shared lib called oracle.webcenter.skin
My objetive is to provide more Skin's to WebCenter Portal Application from ADF JAR Librarys created by ADF Skin Editor and be selectable (like /oracle/webcenter/portalapp/skins/... resources) in Runtime in Administration page.
How can i achieve it easly? (Please don't provide off doc, i read it).
Have i to override SkinPhaseListener of WebCenter to read from another locations?.
Thanks.

Hi.
Finally for WebCenter Portal Applications we are using ADF Skin Editor as support to skin ADF Components.
When we've got our skin defined in ADF Skin Editor then copy to CSS file under MDS folder (/oracle/webcenter/portalapp...) and create a Portal Resource of it.
If you want to deploy your ADF Skins as Shared Libs or included directly to WebCenter Portal App as ADF JAR Library then you'll see that they don't appear at Runtime to be selectable in admin page.
If you want these skins be selectable at runtime you have to register them in generic-resources.xml manually.
PD: Setting trinidad skins at "FINEST" level debug you can see what trinidad-skins is WebCenter loading.
I hope this help you.
PD: Your problem is little different because you are in WebCenter Spaces.
Regards.

How to custom skin PanelTabbed and Popup components in ORACLE ADF?

Hi,
I'm new to this framework. I'm trying to custom skin ORACLE ADF tab and popeup components to match with a design provided by my client. But I'm facing challenges in styling them. Does anybody did this before? Or do we have any sample code on the web to follow. Please Guide.
Thanks,
Srini

Hi.
I think that everyone did it before . Take a look into official doc:
Creating and Managing Skins - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7.0)
Selectors for Skinning ADF Faces Components
The last link have the full list of Skin Selectors (CSS properties that you can change) of the ADF Components.
There is also an IDE helpful to create Skin call ADF Skin Editor: Application Development Framework Downloads
I hope it helps.

Stand Alone Skin Editor

Here is the scenario. I am strictly a front-end developer using HTML, CSS, Javascript etc. I have been brought onboard to work on a project that uses the Oracle Fusion Middleware ADF Framework. I am a total noob with this stuff!!
We are currently working a project using jDevleoper 11.1.1.4 (We cannot use a different/updated version - we are currently stuck with this version, and no I do not know why)
I am going to be responsible for ALL of the front-end look and feel. I thought, ok no biggie, I just work my CSS magic and that will create everything as needed... Boy was I absolutely wrong! So I checked the ADF Skin Editor (have to use the stand alone version due to project being worked on within 11.1.1.4). I am having an extremely hard time find tutorials just using the standalone version! Every tutorial or demo is using the integrated Skin Editor within jDeveloper 11.1.2.
Does anyone know of any good beginner tutorials for using the standalone Skin Editor? I am really struggling with this since I don't even know if I can actually use the editor to create the .css and then how to get into the jDeveloper 11.1.1.4 project!?
Again, I am totally new to this and back-end environment. What may seem like basic ideas/thoughts/language to you, is actually like me trying to read a foreign language that I have no understanding of. So think of me like ultimate dummy here! :)
I appreciate any feedback, suggestions on tutorials/demos/books and thoughts that anyone can provide for me to learn this.
Thank you and have a great day!
Michael

Hi,
just few inputs from me, just hoping it would be helpful, the easiest thing you can do are :
1) download jdev 11.1.2 version, there you can select new skin file, drag and drop component and play around, and then go to source, you will see code you made in design. see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16162_01/user.1112/e17456/adfsg_selectors.htm for more details.
2) use http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/faces/components/skinningKeys/menu.jspx , and play around and and click print content to see the generated code.
You can copy generated code and use in your jdev 11.1.1.4 version or wtever version :)
The main idea here is, you have to know the skin selector for each component.
for example for af:menu component you css selector would be
af|menu {
and again, for menu bar item selector is :
af|menu::bar-item{
for hover :
af|menu::bar-item:highlighted{
background-color: #959595 !important;
Just to give me head up,
for af:commandButton => af|commandButton{ }
for af:breadcrumb => af|breadcrumb{}
and so forth
and each of these has psedo selector such as :selected , :highlighted ::menu-item-text but each component will have different different psedo selector ...
eg :
af|commandMenuItem::bar-item:depressed
af|commandMenuItem::bar-item:highlighted
af|commandMenuItem:highlighted::menu-item-open-indicator
af|menuBar::overflow-indicator
af|breadCrumbs::step:selected
af|breadCrumbs::step
go through this link for all different selector and psedo selectors

Customizing Oracle ADF Default Skins

Hello,
My JDeveloper Version is 11.1.2.1.0. R2
Is there any tutorial about Customizing oracle adf default skins. For Example I want to change some CSS Properties of "Simple" Skin. I know I can change some properties by using Inline styles but it is not good
way.
I have started reading this tutorial but I think It is complex. Is this not. Is this also for Release 2.

Can i install Oracle ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 on weblogic 10.6 ?

can i install Oracle ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 on weblogic 10.6 ?
what the difference between ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 and Application Development Run time 11.1.1.6 ?
can i use ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 instead of Application Development Run time 11.1.1.6 to deploy application (contains many jsf pages with rich faces and many taskflows and BC4J) ??
i'm using jdeveloper 11.1.2.3.0 and weblogic 10.6 installed on the Linux server

Hi,
JDeveloper 11g R1 (11.2.3) supported as ADF essentials and running on WebLogic 10.3.6 are the same releases. The difference is that a path is needed if you want to deploy the software on WLS 10.3.6. Quoting the release notes:
+"The ADF Runtime will be installed into a standalone application server by applying an Opatch bundle on top of a 11.1.1.6 version of the Application Developer Runtime environment. In the event that additional patches are needed or desired in addition to the 11.1.2.3.0 patch (for example, if an additional patch is needed for another component in the Application Development Runtime installation), those patches will need to be installed separately.+
+Important note: The patch is intended to be applied to an Application Developer Runtime installation. Applying the patch to a different installation type (for example, Oracle SOA Suite or Oracle WebCenter) is not supported."+
Release Notes: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/11gr2update3-1851251.html
For Glasssfish you don't need to patch the server and only install the ADF runtime libraries - also explained in the Release notes.

Oracle-ADF inlineFrame initializing view scoped bean twice

I am facing strange issue related with af:inlineFrame component. Trying to display/render ADF page inside of af:popup within af:inlineFrame component. The weird thing is when the popup displayed; view scoped bean's @PostConstruct method called twice. That means bean is initialized twice. However it needed to be initialized once since bean is referenced from the page that is going to be displayed inside af:inlineFrame.
Correct flow gotta be:
Click to button openPopup() method called.
openPopup() sets URI then opens popup.
inlineFrame source property set as it's going to display framePage.jspx.
JSF scans framePage.jspx code finds out there is a reference to FrameBean inside af:outputLabel
Construct FrameBean then call @PostConstruct method.
Call appropriate getter and render page.
What happens in my case:
Click to button openPopup() method called.
openPopup() sets URI opens popup.
inlineFrame source property set as it's going to display framePage.jspx.
JSF scans framePage.jspx code finds out there is a reference to FrameBean inside af:outputLabel
Construct FrameBean then call @PostConstruct method.
Call appropriate getter and render page.
Construct FrameBean then call @PostConstruct method.
Call appropriate getter and render page.
Popup located like:
<af:popup id="mainPopup" binding="#{mainBean.mainPopup}">
<af:dialog id="mainDialog">
<af:inlineFrame source="#{mainBean.URI}"> </af:inlineFrame>
</af:dialog>
</af:popup>
Showing popup via af:button action="#{mainBean.openPopup}":
public void openPopup() {
this.setURI("http://localhost:7001/app/framePage.jspx");
RichPopup.PopupHints hints = new RichPopup.PopupHints();
this.getMainPopup().show(hints);
framePage.jspx:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" /> <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
<f:view>
<af:document title="Frame Demo" id="demoDocument">
<af:form id="demoForm">
<af:outputLabel value="#{frameBean.commonId}"> </af:outputLabel>
</af:form>
</af:document>
</f:view>
</jsp:root>
FrameBean:
@ManagedBean
@ViewScoped
public class FrameBean {
private String commonId;
@PostConstruct
public void afterInit() { }
public String getCommonId() {
return commonId;
public void setCommonId(String commonId) {
this.commonId = commonId;
Making FrameBean @SessionScoped solves this issue since bean is kept with session but I don't want to keep it within session. Also setting source property of af:inlineFrame in jspx as hardcoded not fixing the problem.

im using ADF Essential on Glassfish 3.1 with no problem, but glassfish is heavyweight. I think Oracle ADF is not dependent to Application Server , then i tried to use my project with Tomcat 7. I deployed my application on Tomcat 7 , but im getting some exceptions.
Not all application servers support Oracle ADF.
Refer the certification matrix, Tomcat 7 is not listed as being supported.

Configuring Multiple Schemas in Oracle ADF application

Hi,
Thanks all for the replies for my previous posts :-)
We have a requirement in which we need to configure our application for multiple Database schema. At runtime based upon the logged in user we need to get data from the schema related to that user.
These schema may be on same Database instance/server or may be on different DB servers.
The requirement is like this
Logged in User DB schema configured
"A" ASchema @ 127.0.0.1
"B" BSchema @ 127.0.0.2
"C" ASchema @ 127.0.0.1
"D" Dschema @ 127.0.0.2
based on the User login (which is happening through one OID system), I need to fetch data from different schema (configured for different application).
These schema have different set of tables but set of table we require for our application are of same structure.
Same structure means same Table names with same relations.
Please let me know can we do the same in Oracle ADF application and How?_
One more requirement is that if i add a user at runtime and configure the DB schema for this user, All data related to this users will be loaded from this Schema which is configured for this user.
Thanks in Advance,
Amit

You can try the below example to change database at run time.
in the filter change the connection and not the credentials
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/dynamicjdbchowto-101755.html#03.
Most of the other part is done to handle state management tables, which you might also have to do unless you use a file passivation store or if its ok to passivate to a single database always.
If its ok to passivate to a single db always. Hard code the jbo.server.internal_connection in the AM configurations to a DB jndi name.
Adf allows you to activate and passivate to a different database other than what you are connected to get and put data.

How to get full source code for Oracle ADF?

Hi,
I 'm referring to the following URL http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/B25947_01/intro003.htm and it has mentioned that full source for Oracle ADF is available :
"Full source for Oracle ADF is available to supported customers through Oracle Worldwide Support. The full source code for the framework can be an important tool to assisting you in diagnosing problems and in correctly extending the base framework functionality for your needs."
Does anyone know how to obtain such information from Oracle support? Is this from metalink

One possible snag in the process is that you will have some legal paperwork to sign. Depending on your company's policies, this could pose a problem.

How to set the target of af:commandLink in Oracle ADF faces ( af:menuTabs )

I try to use tabbedpane component from Oracle ADF...As I found, they stated that only <af:commandLink> can be child of <af:menuTabs>
I want to press the tab then the result can be show at the bottom of that tab...as same as the jsf demo from SUN.
<af:menuTabs binding="#{editor.component}">
<af:commandLink text="Quick-Info" action="#{action.qinfo_page}"
selected="true" />
<af:commandLink text="Vertrieb" action="#{action.vertrieb_page}"/>
<af:commandLink text="Wichtig" action="#{action.wichtig_page}"/>
<af:commandLink text="Kontakt" action="#{action.kontakt_page}"/>
<af:commandLink text="Notizen" action="#{action.notizen_page}"/>
</af:menuTabs>
Now when i press to each tab, it will redirect to new page as i define (such as the code in welcome.jsf...then it redirect to qinfo.jsf when i press at Quick-Info tab).
Pleas help me to solve this problem...I need to show the result at that page (area below the tab). Thank you in advance.

We're sorry, but this isn't supported. One rationale is that it's not generally sufficient to simply reload the target page; you also have to reload the tab control itself to show the new selection. We generally recommend not using frames in this circumstance, instead putting the menuTabs and the content on one page.
(BTW, "target" isn't really supported on <h:commandLink> either)

ADF Skin commandButton background color

HI I use Jdev 11.1.2.3.0 I want to change the color of a commandButton I used:
af|commandButton {color: orange;
background-image: none;
background-color:green;
in (http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/faces/components/skinningKeys/commandButton.jspx)
and followed this tutorial (https://blogs.oracle.com/shay/entry/styling_specific_adf_components_with)
as shown in this picture (http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/7456/avc8.png)
the icon button gets colored but not the actual commandButton obviously is not shown when I run it.
My skin code:
af|commandButton
background-image: none;
background-color: Fuchsia;

A: ADF Skin commandButton background color

Yeah, that skin selector will apply to all buttons with those classes. If you need to limit the styling based on EL, I would do something like this
styleClass="#{condition ? 'trueClass' : 'falseClass'}"
and in the skin this should be specific enough
af|commandButton.trueClass {}
If not, you would have to do something like this, but not 100% sure if that dot shouldn't have a space before it or be a colon possibly off the top of my head
af|commandButton:text-only.trueClass

Oracle ADF & Jdeveloper.

Any one have an idea that which institute other than oracle school, give training for Oracle ADF & Jdeveloper in Dubai, United ARab Emirates.
I am using Forms10g and would like to upgrade to Jdeveloper.I have no experience in Java.

I've also written a book, and given I come from a Forms background, it should address many of the issues those coming from a Forms background hit when learning ADF. The book itself is aimed at getting developers up to speed as quickly as possible,
Quick Start Guide to Fusion Development: JDeveloper and Oracle ADF is now published. See http://www.mhprofessional.com/product.php?isbn=0071744282
See also http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/formsdesignerj2ee-092778.html which is a page specifically for Forms developers who are picking up JDeveloper and Oracle ADF.
