Hi
You don't need adfshare.jar if you're using the Apache
download - they removed the dependancy. In the old EA19 Oracle
distribution (which is what I'm using) you can find it inside the demo WAR file
(that was an obvious place to put it guys...). I don't know the answer to
your header grouping question, but I do know that ADF Faces has a really cool
<af:table> component. It supports paging, sorted columns and all
sorts of other bling. As for using it with MyFaces, it doesn't
replace MyFaces, but sits on top of it.
As for the set up - it took me a while to get it
working, although I think that was partly the IDE I was using at the
time (the BEA Eclipse plugin). It's well worth perservering though
because ADF Faces really is superb.
I'd base your web.xml on the one in the demo WAR and test
installation using that. For some reason I had to pull the tag library
descriptior files (.tld) out of the jar's and register them in the web.xml file,
but you're not supposed to have to do that...
As an aside, it is perhaps worth noting that (rather
confusingly) 'ADF' is something different from 'ADF Faces'. Makes a
difference if you post to the Oracle forums...
Cheers,
Jim

Subject: Some questions regarding ADF Faces and MyFaces
Hi
I am trying to install the faces but couldnt find adfshare.jar file which
is mentioned as a dependency of adf faces. Actually I want to group the header
as mentioned in posting
Can anyone just guide me as to where can I find it.
Secondly, can both of these implementations work together. I had
MyFaces installed earlier and now I am trying to install ADF. So I have
to modify my web.xml and faces-config.xml to register ADF.
Are there any specific settings which have to be made so that these can work
together?
Thirdly, generally speaking is ADF datatable better than the
myfaces implementation of data table?
Waiting for your reply
Best Regards
Hassnain
