Creating a Basic UIX XML Template (UIT) with Header, Footer, and Navigation Elements

Using the UIX XML Template wizard, you can generate a single UIX XML template (UIT) with the basic template definition framework, as well as the following header, footer, and navigation elements:

Page title
Corporate branding
Product branding
Navigation (tabs, global headers, and global buttons)
Privacy information
Copyright information

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 as described in this procedure. Do not create an empty UIT file and add UIX components manually.

To create a UIX XML template (UIT) file with header, footer, and navigation elements:

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) with Header, Footer and Navigation.
The UIX XML Template (UIT) Wizard appears. For detailed help about any of the steps, press F1 or click Help from within the wizard.
Follow the steps on each wizard page, and click Finish when you are done.

When you finish, your project contains a UIT file upon which you can base all the UIX XML files in your project. You can customize the UIT file using the schema-driven XML Editor in which it 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.
