Chapter 6. Displaying the Data

So far, we have the model data exposed to the UI layer and we have seen that the data control is essential in exposing the services. In the real world, the data comes from different sources and is presented in a way that suits the business and simplifies the view layer for the user. For example, a web application for a banking site requires a layout which is appropriate for the user to access the accounts information easily. A dashboard layout with graphs, gauges, and gantt charts are inviting for the user to see an overview of account performance. Some common user layouts are followed in the web application to attract customers and to enhance the user experience. ADF Rich Faces includes more than 150 components to display the information in a user-preferred way. Added to this, the data visualization component's support in ADF will help the user to analyze the data in a graphical way.
