Hunting the elusive panellabelandmessage padding

I have a panelformlayout and with panellabelandmessages and various other stuff in it.

My alignment of fields is screwed because my plam items are left padded by 9px. Why I dont know.

So I decided to pad all the other items by 9px to keep it all looking good. (the plam items seem like they are hard codex to 9px or something).

So I add a style class to the other items called leftPad but the style doesnt work. So I added a background color to my style to check if I got my items correct and like magic the padding and the color work. So I just changed the background back to the original color and everything works - like magic.

Styled item
<af:inputtext columns="#{bindings.Attr1.hints.displayWidth}"
   id="it25" label="#{bindings.Attr1.hints.label}"
   maximumlength="#{bindings.Attr1.hints.precision}" required="true"
   shortdesc="#{bindings.Attr1.hints.tooltip}" styleclass="leftPad"
   value="#{bindings.Attr1.inputValue}">
  <f:validator binding="#{bindings.Attr1.validator}">
</f:validator></af:inputtext>

Style Sheet
.leftPad .AFPanelFormLayoutContentCell {
  padding-left: 9px;
  background-color: #F5F5F9;
}

ADF sort of generic screen for tables with the same structure

We have a couple (about a hundred) of tables with the same structure (Code, Description, Create Date, Update Date). So I wanted to do something simple so that I did not have to create all these screens 1) EO   I created the EO based on one of the tables I had that had the above columns. I then Added a transient attribute called table name to my EO based on a groovy expression. (the expression needs to change as I am reading web tier stuff from the model layer but I will fix this later) I then generated a java class for my EO. And added the following overriden method to my newly created java class. protected StringBuffer buildDMLStatement(int i, AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl,   AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl2, AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl3, boolean b) {   StringBuffer statement = super.buildDMLStatement(   i, attributeDefImpl, attributeDefImpl2, attributeDefImpl3, b); return new StringBuffer(StringUtils.replace(statement.to...

MANIFEST.MF merge JDeveloper for an executable jar

Goto your project > properties. Then click on deployment in the menu. Edit or add a jar deployment profile. Fill in the details under jar options (select Include manifest and give it a main class name) Also remember that the merge functionality only works with a BLANK line at the end of the merge file. REALLY this caught me. My merge file contents: Class-Path: commons-codec-1.3.jar [...empty line here CRLF...]
