Oracle Applications: Building OAF page for displaying contact

Open the JDeveloper. Here we consider the user to be aware of how to use the JDeveloper. Create a project, configure design time and run time connection parameters.

Create Table CONTACTS

Create XX_CONTACTS (CONTACT_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, EMAIL_ADDRESS, MOBILE_PHONE, HOME_PHONE) table using the following script.

CREATE TABLE xx_contacts( contact_id NUMBER
, first_nameVARCHAR2(100)
, last_nameVARCHAR2(100)
, email_addressVARCHAR2(100)
, mobile_phoneVARCHAR2(100)
, home_phoneVARCHAR2(100)
, created_by NUMBER
, creation_date DATE
, last_update_by NUMBER
, last_updated_dateDATE
, last_update_loginNUMBER);

In this table the last five columns, called who columns, are used for auditing purposes and to track the owner of the records in the table.

Create Entity Object

1. Click on project and click on New.

3. Select APPS for Database Schema, XX_CONTACTS (table created in Create Table section). Provide ContactsEO for the Name of Entity Object, enter oracle.apps.inv.ctc.schema.server for package. Entity Objects are in general created in schema package. Click Next.

4. Accept the defaults in steps 2 to 5. Navigate to Finish page that shows the Attributes. Click Finish on this page.

5. This creates ContactsEO in package oracle.apps.inv.ctc.server.schemapakage

Create View Object

1. Right click on package ctc and click on New

2. Enter oracle.apps.inv.ctc.server for package and ContactsVO for View Object name and click Next

3. On Entity Objects page select ContactsEO from the Available and move to Right by clickin on “>” button.

4. On Attributes page click on “>>” button to select all the available attributes from ContactsEO to ContactsVO.

5. On the following pages accept default values and click next on pages Step 4 to Step 7 to go to Finish page. Click Finish button on this page to create ContactsVO.

6. These steps create ContactsVO in package oracle.apps.inv.ctc.server

Create Application Module

1. Right click on server and click on New Application Module

2. Enter oracle.apps.inv.ctc.server for package and ContactsAM for Name and click Next

3. On VO selection page select ContactsVO from package oracle.apps.ctc.server and click on “>” button to assicateattacheContactsVO instance to this Application Module. Rename the instance Name to ContactsVO. Click Next.

4. Accept the defaults on Step3 and Step4 pages and click Next button to navigate to Finish page, where we can see ContactsVO instance being attached to this Application Module. Click Finish to complete AM creation.

5. Now the AM is available under oracle.apps.inv.ctc.server package. Select ContactsAM, Now in this AM ContactsVO has to be initialized to get the values from the table. In the Structure panel down there, double click on ContactsAMImpl.java file to edit the code.
