14-aug-2013, ADF 12c Launch event

ADF 12.1.2.0

New Features ADF Faces & Skin Editor

Code Editor

• Code Editor

– For “Editing Code”

– Attributes for language, linenumbers

List View

– To create a List Layout

– Renders ListItem children

– Based on a collectionModel, just like

a table

The PanelGridLayout

• The panelGridLayout component is a layout container component that

– uses one or more gridRow components to describe the rows of a grid layout

structure.

– Each row defines a height and margins.

– Each gridRow uses one or more gridCell components to describe the cells for

columns in that row of the grid layout structure.

– Each cell defines width, margins, column span, row span, horizontal alignment, and

vertical alignment

How does it work ?

Separators and Spacers

• Default behavior

• Spacers and Separators

Bye Bye Spacers & Separators

Another hidden benefit is the runtime cost. Because we can use a single layout

to achieve much more complex geometries the client side layout code inside

the browser is having to work a lot less. This will be a real benefit if your

application needs to run on lower powered clients such as netbooks or tablets
