Editing Databound Components in the ADF Application

When you work with the Data Control Palette to design databound web pages or Java panels, you create Oracle ADF binding expressions that allow the components to work the Oracle ADF data binding layer. In the Visual Editor these expressions are represented as EL-expression language notation ${bindings.attributeName.bindingProperty}.

You can edit a binding expression in the Visual Editor by:

Double-clicking the UI component and editing the value field in the displayed editor
Viewing the web page or Java UI using the Code view of the Visual Editor and editing the expression directly.

For JSP pages, JDeveloper supports Expression Language Code Insight in the Code Editor. Code Insight is also available in the Property Inspector and Tag Editor. To invoke Code Insight type the leading characters of an EL expression: ${ for JSP tag libraries including:

JSTL
Struts
ADF data binding (Model 1 ADF)

Note, when you remove a binding expression from a page or panel that you have already created with the Data Control Palette, it is necessary to also delete the binding from the document's binding definition (UIModel.xml) file.
