Content Container Region In OAF

by

In oracle application framework page the OAF ContentContainer region is used to display additional information of the OAF page in Oracle BLAF ( Browser Look and Feel).

ContentContainer is having special features which will help it to differentiate from other content of the OAF page.
Example: It can have different background color which can be different from the standard background color of oracle apps framework page. This can be done by using Background Shade property of the ContentContainer.
It can have border to it to identify it as a separate region.

ContentContainer can have items and regions of any style in it.

To add this into oracle application framework page, create a shared region in the OAF page for ContentContainer.

Generally, BulletList region is placed in it, as we use ContentContainer to display additional information, and that will be displayed pointwise.
In the BulletList we can add further items or regions in it as per the requirement.

ContentContainer will be generally displayed at the end (right side) of the Oracle Apps Framework page.

Content Footer In OAF

by

In oracle application framework page the OAF ContentFooter region was used to hold buttons (links) at the bottom level of the Oracle Apps Framework page. It displays as a bottom line which is separated from the page footer with the content of the oracle application framework page and also known as “ski”.
It is deprecated style.

Page buttons should be used instead of ContentFooter to hold buttons in it.

Default Single Column In OAF

by

In oracle application framework page the OAF DefaultSingleColumn region was used to hold items in a single column. Prompt of items will be right justified and the input fields will be left justified. But it was not fulfilling the Oracle BLAF (Browser Look and Feel) UI requirement/guidelines.
Hence, it is deprecated and messageComponentLayout should be used for better serving the purpose of placing items in OAF page along with header region which is called before messageComponentLayout in the OAF page.

Along with DefaultSingleColumn layout, there was one more region known as DefaultDoubleColumn layout was present.

DefaultDoubleColumn severs the requirement of placing items in two columns; it is also deprecated due to the same reason of not serving the purpose of Oracle BLAF UI.
