Hi All,
I am working on a project that is intended to migrate Oracle Forms based application to Oracle JDeveloper ADF. The application menu is stored in the database into a table named Menus. The reason is that menu is not fixed/known at the design time rather dynamic. For example, someone in the company might open a new book (a concept in the Oracle Forms application) which, in turn, inserts a menu item row dynamically in the Menus table; Hence the menu changes over the time. In addition, Oracle Forms application presents Menus in multiple languages which is yet another reason for storing the menu in the database.
So, based on my little understanding, there could be two ways to go about migrating the Menus forms to ADF JDeveloper. These include:
- Creating an ADF application where ADF tree component is populated from the database Menus table using a hierarchical query.
- Using the ADF Menu Model component to display the application menu, which I really prefer over the first option.
Now, my question is that is there any way I create the ADF Menu Model object based on the data coming from the database table Menus.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Many Thanks and
Kind Regards,
Bilal
