Oracle UI Shell Update Available (1.02)

My colleague told me this morning, he saw that Oracle UI Shell template update is available. And it wasn't April 1st joke ! :-) This update was very important for us, we were facing bugs when multiple dynamic tabs were opened at the same time - its solved now. Thanks Oracle, good job. More about this template you can read on Oracle UI Shell Functional Pattern page.

Oracle UI Shell template is a great pattern for application integration through Dynamic Tabs. I have developed simple application with multiple Dynamic Tabs based on Dynamic Regions from ADF Task Flows packaged into ADF JAR Libraries - ADFIntegrationUIShell.zip. Today post is a next in my Integration series.

First thing, make sure you updated Oracle UI Shell template. Open JDeveloper Check For Updates wizard and from Official Oracle Updates section select Oracle Dynamic Tabs Page Template 1.02:


Next, when you create main page, make sure you select Oracle Dynamic Tabs Shell template from JSF Page creation wizard:


Define managed bean to store Dynamic Region references and to launch Dynamic Tabs, this bean should be declared in PageFlowScope for proper Dynamic Regions rendering:


You can plug-in into Oracle UI Shell different applications through Dynamic Regions coming from ADF Task Flows (Locations, Departments. Jobs, Employees):


Each application will be opened in separate Dynamic Tab - thats really powerful and it works:

    Hi,

    congrats for your posts, they are very usefull! ;)

    I'm working on a big project to developing a complex system with ADF 11g. We have various applications (packaged in JAR libraries) which should be integrated on a main application. The logical applications should invoke each other and pass parameters.

    Following the UI Shell pattern, what is the best approach to pass parameters between the applications?

    regards, Pedro Medeiros.

    Hi Pedro,

    You can do this programmatically, UIShell 1.02 supports this.

    Using the method described I implemented the dynamic task flow.
    It worked fine until I applied ADF security to the application. The tab header is showing but the rest of the fragment isn't displaying.
    Kindly advise.

    Yes, you would need to change it in UI Shell source code.
