Creating a View Object Definition

Oracle ADF view objects are business components that collect data from the datasource, shape that data for use by clients, and allow clients to change that data in the Oracle ADF Business Components cache. For more information, see About Oracle ADF View Objects.

You can create a view object definition in any of the following ways:

Create a view object definition while creating a package of data model components.
In the System or Application Navigator, right-click an entity object definition and choose New Default View Object.
This will create a simple view object definition, with all attributes based on the entity object and a query of SELECT * FROM <TABLE>, where <TABLE> is the table on which the entity object is based. You should edit the view object later. For more information, see the related topics list.
In the System or Application Navigator, right-click a Oracle ADF Business Components package and choose New V iew Object.
This will open the View Object Wizard. If you need assistance with the wizard, click H elp.
On a Business Components diagram, Click the View Object icon on the Business Components Component Palette for the diagram then click the diagram where you want to create the view object. For more information, see Creating a Diagram of Business Components.
Note: When you create an view object on a diagram you can change the default name when it is hightlighted on the modeled view object. The other properties for the modeled view object are defaulted, but these default values can be changed. For more information, see Changing the Properties of a Diagram Element.
