ADF Declarative Component support is popular ADF framework feature, but in this post I would like to explain it from slightly different angle. I will show how to pass ADF binding and Java bean objects into component through properties, in these cases when component must show data from ADF bindings, such approach could offer robustness and simplify component development.
This is component implemented in the sample app - choice list renders data from ADF LOV and button calls Java bean method to print selected LOV item value (retrieved from ADF bindings):
JDeveloper provides wizard to create initial structure for declarative component:
This is ADF declarative component, it is rendered from our own tag. There are two properties. List binding is assigned with LOV binding object instance and bean property with Java bean instance defined in backing bean scope. In this way, we pass objects directly into the component:
LOV binding is defined in target page definition file, where component is consumed:
Bean is defined in the same project, where page which consumes ADF declarative component is created. We need to define component property type to match bean type, for that reason, we must create class interface in the component library and in target project implement it:
Component and main projects can be in the same JDEV application, we can use JDEV working sets to navigate between projects (when running main project, we dont want to run component project, component project is deployed and reused through ADF JAR library):
Bean interface is defined inside component:
Property for list binding is defined with JUCtrlListBinding type, this allows to pass binding instance directly to the component. Same for bean instance, using interface to define bean instance type, which will be assigned from the page, where component is used:
Declarative component is based on combination of ADF Faces components:
