Working with the data control layer and binding
When we create a page for the first time, the page definition is not created for the page. The page definition file is created for the page only if the page contains any components bound to the data control layer using the bindings. For example, when we add a text component to display the Empno
value from the EMP
table, the page definition file, indexPageDef.xml
, is created with the corresponding attribute bindings that map it to the underlying Empno
attribute from the EmpVO
view object. The page definition file will be created in the adfmsrc
folder inside the ViewController
project. For example, the indexPageDef.xml
file will be created in \ViewController\adfmsrc\com\empdirectory\view\pageDefs
.
