Steve's ADF Sample #131 : What if adding attributes in extendsproject ?

Question

Hi Steve,
I want to further implement your ADF sample #131 : ADF Web Application with Component Substitution
On the example there, on ExtendsProject , a new validation is added. and it changes the behaviour of the application in BaseADFWebApp.
Our requirement is :
- add new attributes on DeptEx entity in ExtendsProject
- drag those new attributes into Departments.jspx in BaseADFProject
( th ebjective is to reuse the jspx for the DeptEx with the new attributes )
Is there any any scenario to make this possible ?
Thank you very much,
xtanto

Our requirement is :
- add new attributes on DeptEx entity in ExtendsProjectThat is possible. No problem.
You'd also need to extend the view object and add the new entity attributes to the extended view object, too. That is possible. No problem.
- drag those new attributes into Departments.jspx in BaseADFProject
( th ebjective is to reuse the jspx for the DeptEx with the new attributes )That would require having a customization layer for the JSPX pages which is not available in 10.1.3, only in 11g.
The only way to have a JSPX page the reacts "automatically" to the presence of added attributes in the view object (due to component substitution) would be to design the page to be rendered dynamically based on the attributes in the data collection. Unfortunately, in 10.1.3, we only supply a "Read Only Dynamic Table" component, but not one for editable forms. The latter is supplied in 11g.
