About the Client Project Configuration File in JClient

ADF clients, including a JClient, use a client configuration file called DataBindings.cpx. At runtime, the metadata definitions in this file create the Oracle ADF data binding context and permit the client application to access the business services using the specified runtime configuration. When you use the JDeveloper design time tools to create client panels, forms, and pages, the DataBindings.cpx is created in the View (or ViewController) project.

About the DataBindings.cpx File

To view the DataBindings.cpx file double-click the DataBindings.cpx file in the View project in the Application Navigator.

This is an example of a DataBindings.cpx file for a project containing and empty JClient form, Form1, and an empty JClient panel, Panel1.

The following example shows the DataBindings.cpx file, from above, after using the Data Control Palette to add a databound control to the panel. The model for this based on an ADF Business Components project with an application module called AppModule. Notice that the data control for that application module has been added, showing configuration parameters.
