About UI Components in Oracle ADF Web Pages

The client developer uses the Data Control Palette to insert already databound UI components into their web page:

In the case of Model 1 JSP pages (which do not use the Struts page flow), visual elements that you select will appear in the JSP page as code snippets that use a combination of Oracle ADF tags (a custom tag library), HTML tags, and EL (expression language) syntax.
In the case of Struts-based JSP pages, visual elements that you select will appear in the JSP page as code snippets that use a combination of Struts tags (for Struts-based web application), JSTL tags, and EL (expression language) syntax.
In the case of UIX pages, visual elements that you select are UIX elements, runtime components represented in the UIX page by XML syntax.
Note: The Data Control Palette detects the type of web application your project defines and displays the appropriate components for a Stuts-based JSP project, a Model 1&ndashstyle JSP project, or a UIX project.

The following sections describe the visual elements that you can select from the Data Control Palette.
