Hi Richard,
I believe the answer is that startDepth and level are almost the same.
There is one subtle difference. The difference is that in 10.1.3 ADF Faces,
the top level of the tree was spread out onto multiple areas based upon the
commandMenuItem's type attribute.
In 10.1.3 ADF Faces, I think it worked this way: the top-most set of
links/buttons are those commandMenuItems using startDepth="0" and
type="global", the primary tabs were startDepth="0" and type != "global"
secondary tabs were those using startDepth="1".
In Trinidad, type is irrelevant and the tree is allocated exactly to the
level (aka depth) in the MenuModel tree; to get something to appear in the
top-most area, you'd just use level 0, for primary tabs, use level="1", for
secondary tabs, use level="2".
Regards,
Matt
