# Using AppXray for Oracle ADF Artifacts

AppXRay is a central feature of Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse designed for dependency tracking, validation, visualization, and refactoring support. In this release of OEPE, AppXray is enabled for ADF components as well.

Some of the features in the source view of the Web Page editor that are driven by AppXray are:

- Hovering over a component displays the properties of the component. For example, if you hover over a managed bean in source editor, its properties (Name, Type, and Scope) are displayed.

- Hovering over a component and pressing Ctrl + Space displays a popup with possible code values.

- Hovering over a component and pressing Ctrl results in a hyperlink that leads you to the tag documentation.

- Content assist for ADF bindings on a page as defined by the page definition file.

To use AppXaminer to view dependency relationships:

1. In the Project Explorer, right-click any file in your application, for example, `login.jspx`, and select Show AppXray Dependencies from the context menu.

2. AppXaminer opens in the Editor displaying the relationship the selected page has with other components. Numeric values indicate the number of references a component has with another.

3. Expand a node to the relationship it has with other components.

4. Right-click a node and select Show Reference Detail from context, which invokes a popup window displaying the detailed components involved. Alternatively, select Open from the context menu to view the file in the editor.
