About Graph Files in ADF Applications

After building a databound graph component, JDeveloper generates and updates several files which are added to the project and accessible from the Application Navigator.

These files reside in the filesystem at the following location:

<jdev_install>/jdev/mywork/<Application_ name>/ViewController/src/view

File	Description
`<object>.java`	This file is the Java implementation of the Graph bean which lets you programmatically set and get graph properties.
Graph properties definition file: `<BIGraphDef>.xml`	This XML file contains graph attributes such as title, subtitle, footnote, graph type, legend area, and plot area. The default filename is `BIGraphDef.xml`.
Bindings definition file: `<webpageName >UIModel.xml`	Contains the Oracle ADF data binding information for the graph.

Note: The web.xml file is updated with a graph entry for the graph tag library.

Sample Graph Files

Below are samples of the DataBindings.xml and the UIModel.xml files for a graph component in a web application consisting of JSP pages and ADF Business Components for the business service.

UIModel.xml Sample
