Working with jDeveloper OAF and EBS
I have a new project and need to modify a webpage in an ebusiness set created with oaf, but not sure where to start.
Just now. I have jDeveloper with appropriate patch for oaf framework, I have installed .DBC file in my secure folder to connect to database and ebs server but dont know how to import page file (and which file) to make changes and how to deploy those changes ...
I know this may sound silly or pointless, but this is my first intrusion with oaf with jdeveloper.
If anyone has a document or some kind of context please let me know.
Regards

1) Identify the BC4J components . Find suitable Java files to extend the functionality of the page. Set the profile parameter FND: Diagnostics to Yes. A link to this page appears at the bottom of each work page of the OA frame. Click on this link on the page you want to expand and see all the BC4J components behind this OAF page. Copy the paths and get these .class files from $ JAVA_TOP middle.
2) Get source code -Import correct java .class files as above, use decompilers like JAD or cavaJ to get Java source code from those class files to understand the logic. 3) Extend Pages -Copy to your local system jdeveloper project folder and modify the code and test with jdeveloper.
4) Deployment . Copy the .class files to the mid-level specialized directory $ JAVA_TOP after successful verification and use jpximport to replace the view extensions. Deploy .class files in binary mode using winscp or Filezila. If you modify or create new LOV regions (copy these xml files to the appropriate top mds folder of the application in ASCII mode).
5) After Deployment - Reject the middle tier apps to see the changes on the page ask the DBA to bounce the middle tier apps (usually developers do not have the privilege to fail mid tier apps, even in development example)
Hope this helps, Please let me know if you have any questions.
