View in OAF

View in OAF

• View is the actual output OAF page what an end user can able to see.

• In Oracle Apps Framework View is implemented using UIX technology, whereas UIX means User Interface XML.

• Whenever we run the page in JDeveloper then automatically UIX will generate web.xml file.

• The power of UIX is that allows metadata to be translated to an HTML page for a web browser or mobile device browsers.

• The generated web.xml file will be converted into HTML format of OAF page.

• Since web.xml file here will work as a cache memory.

• Whenever we want to move the web.xml file into the server side then MDS repository is used to move the web.xml file into the server.

• MDS stands for Meta Data Service and in the application top we will be having MDS folder.

• When we deploy all the OAF page destination paths, regions then the files will be stored into the MDS tables.

The MDS table are like:

JDR_Paths:Stores the path of the documents, OA Framework pages and their parent child relationship.

JDR_Components:Stores components on documents and OA Framework pages.

JDR_Attributes:Stores attributes of components on documents and OA Framework pages.

JDR_ATTRIBUTES_TRANS:Stores translated attribute values of document components or OA framework pages.

JDR_DOCUMENT_ID_S:  This is a sequence generator table.

• MDS can be managed using standard database procedures and tools.
