1- The objective of this example

In this post, I will show you how to create an ADF Fusion Web Application. Displaying data in webpage under Table Form and has Parameter Form to filter data.
Below is the image of the application

2- Create Application

The steps for creating an  "ADF Fusion Web Application" and connecting to a database, which can be seen by you at:
This is the application image with basic setups:

3- Create View Object with parameters.

On the  JDeveloper, select:
  • File/New/From Gallery...
    • >> Business Tier/ADF Business Components/View Object
Enter a query sentence: 
Select e.Employee_Id
      ,e.First_Name
      ,e.Last_Name
      ,e.Email
      ,e.Phone_Number
      ,e.Hire_Date
      ,e.Job_Id
      ,j.Job_Title
      ,e.Salary
      ,e.Commission_Pct
      ,e.Manager_Id
      ,e.Department_Id
      ,d.Department_Name
From   Employees   e
      ,Departments d
      ,Jobs        j
Where  e.Department_Id = d.Department_Id
And    e.Job_Id = j.Job_Id
And    (e.Salary >= :Sal_Min Or :Sal_Min Is Null)
And    (e.Salary <= :Sal_Max Or :Sal_Max Is Null)
Create the two parameters of  Sal_Min and Sal_Max with Number type.
With a customized "View Object",  you only need to clearly define  "Key Attribute" (Primary key attribute). In this example, it is EmployeeId column.
View Object: V02Employees has been created:
You need to register V02Employees with Application Module.  After being registered, it can be used by other Project of the application.
Open AppModule:
V02Employees have been seen on "Data Controls":

4- Create View

On ViewController open adfc-config.xml:
Search for "view" keyword and drag and drop "View (ADF Task Flow.Components)" into "Diagram" window of adfc-config.xml.
An object has just been created. Change its name as empList2.
Double click on the  "empList2" to create a source file.
Note: You should place the source file (jsp, jsf,..) in the  WEB-INF folder or the subfolder of the  WEB-INF. It helps to hide these files with users.

5- Design interface for View

Search with keyword "Stretch",drag and drop "Panel Stretch Layou (ADF Faces.Layout)" into "empList2.jsf".
PanelStretchLayout has 5 Facets (also 5 regions). Delete 3 regions "start", "end", "bottom":
Search with keyword "panelbox", and drag and drop "Panel Box (ADF Faces.Layout)" into "Top" and "Center" region of empList2.jsf:
Drag and drop V02Emp1 from "Data Controls" into the  "Employees" region of empList2.jsp to create an  ADF Table:
Delete some columns that you don't want to display on the ADF Table.
In the next step, drag and drop "ExecuteWithParams" of V02Emp1 into "Search" region of empList2.jsf  to create "ADF Parameter Form...":
"ADF Parameter Form" has been created,  you can drag to increase the height of "Search" region.

6- Run the application

Select "empList2" on the  adfc-config.xml  and click the  Run icon (Or F11).
