Creating an Empty UIX XML Template (UIT)

You can create a single UIX XML template (UIT) with only the basic template definition framework. No navigation tabs, header, or footer sections are added. After creating this file, you can add UIX components manually to build your template.

Note: If you want to generate UIX XML pages based on a UIX XML template, you must first create the template with the UIX XML Template Wizard. Do not use this procedure.

To create an empty UIX XML template (UIT) file:

In the Application Navigator, select the project in which you want to create the new UIX XML template (UIT) file.
Choose File | New to open the New Gallery.
In the Categories tree, expand Web Tier and select ADF UIX.
If Web Tier is not visible in the Categories tree, select All Technologies in the Filter by dropdown list.
In the Items list, double-click UIX XML Template (UIT) to open the New UIT File dialog.
Leave the Directory Name field unchanged to save your work in the directory where JDeveloper expects to find web application files.
In the File Name field, enter the name of the file you want to generate.
The file extension of a UIX XML template is .uit.
Click OK.

Your project contains a UIX XML template definition file. You can customize the file using the schema-driven XML Editor in which the file opens.

For complete information about defining UIX XML templates and how templates are used in UIX XML pages, refer to the ADF UIX Developer's Guide.
