Creating declarative ADF Faces component
Declarative components are reusable, composite UI components that are made up of other existing ADF Faces components.
When you have a common component that you want to use multiple times consistently, declarative components can be of great help and can be useful instead of copying and pasting the same components over and over again and risk change management.
In this recipe, we will create two components, namely, a red button and a blue button. You can continue from the last recipe, or you can grab this project's recipe by cloning the CreateDeclarativeComponent application from the Git repository.
