ADF Faces Skinning

Hands-On Practice

Overview

This practice shows you how to create a custom skin (.css file) to change the look and feel of an application.

Prerequisite and Setup

Have access to or have installed Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.2.x. You can download it from Oracle Technology Network. Install it into a directory of your choice, which, in this tutorial is referred to as JDEVELOPER_HOME.

Also, this hands-on requires a database to be available that has the HR schema installed and enabled. The Oracle XE and Oracle enterprise database both have this schema available and no scripts need to be run.
The Oracle JDeveloper 11g starter workspace is contained in the ADFSkinSampleStageforHandsOnLab.zip file.

• Open the zip file and extract its content to a local directory on your computer
• Open Oracle JDeveloper and choose Application | Open from the file menu. Navigate to the folder you extracted the zip file to and select ADFSkinSample | ADFSkinSample.jws
• Change the RDBMS connection to map your environment. Select View | Database | Database Navigator from the Oracle JDeveloper menu. Select the database connection node in the "ADFSkinSample" node and use the right mouse context menu to edit its properties and change the connect information
