Building the master application

In this chapter, we have built two very small subsystems and deployed them as ADF Libraries—now, we will create the master application that brings the subsystems together to the final application. A real-life enterprise application will have a number of subsystems, and these will be much larger, but the same principle applies.

In addition to the task flows from the subsystems, the master application will contain the following aspects:

• The master application page

• A dynamic region for the task flows

• A menu for selecting task flows

• A bit of user interface code to tie everything together

Setting up the master workspace

Create a new application workspace of the Custom Application type, name it XdmMaster, and assign an application package prefix of com.dmcsol.xdm. Also, name the project XdmMaster and include the following technologies:

• ADF Business Components

• ADF Faces

• HTML and CSS

JDeveloper will automatically add a number of other technologies that these depend on...
