Building a menu model


A typical Fusion web application may contain a mix of bounded and unbounded task flows. As discussed, unbounded task flow activities can be accessed without any specific order. This makes activities in unbounded task flows, a natural choice for target for navigation components or menu items in a Fusion web application. The good news is that, JDeveloper has design time support for generating an XML menu model from unbounded task flow activities, which can be used as a data model for navigation components. The steps for declaratively building a menu model from the unbounded task flow is well explained in the online tutorial entitled Create ADF Menus for Page Navigation. To access this tutorial, go to the link http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jd ev/documentation/index.html and choose JDeveloper and ADF Tutorials | Create ADF Menus for Page Navigation.
