controller.

Extending a
VO is on a global level and you pick this option if you want to add extra
columns. Extending/creating a controller can be assigned on all levels (function/site/organization/responsibility/etc).

Screen 2
As per
client requirement whenever user click on Send
Email to Team Members link, it should display information as“alert
triggered to notify team members about this project” in the project setup page.
To achieve this functionality, we need to extend the standard controller and
add more business logic in the custom controller and mapped it to that
page.
First step
click on About this page link at the
bottom of this page.

To enable the “About this page” link at the bottom of each OA Framework-based page, there is profile option called FND:
Diagnostics (FND_DIAGNOSTICS) set to Yes at User Level.

Under the
controllers list, identify the controller (oracle.apps.pa.extensible.webui. ExtAttrPageRegionLayoutCO)
which should be extended.

Connect the server
through WINSCP, download the standard controller (ExtAttrPageRegionLayoutCO.class file) from
the corresponding directory path and move it to the corresponding path in the
local machine as shown below

To do personalization of layout, click on

Instead of calling the standard controller, the
system should call the custom controller at site level as shown below
Screen8
To extend a
standard controller(ExtAttrPageRegionLayoutCO) in the Jdeveloper, create a new
custom controller named as XxExtAttrPageRegionLayoutCO

Open the
controller code in JDeveloper by double click on XXExtAttrPageRegionLayoutCO.java
under its directory path. Once the
controller code opens, it will say its directory path of which this file is being located,
which seeded controller it should be extended from; we can import some of the
predefined class files in this class to get access of methods.
