Suppressing the Struts Page Flow Diagram

Introduction

As part of the its support for the Oracle ADF runtime framework, JDeveloper 10g provides a visual page flow diagram to represent the Actions, Forwards and other implicit page flow defined in the struts-config.xml file. Developers are presented with a dual pane tabbed editor which gives them access to both the visual representation of the flow, and the source XML. This arrangement will give developers the flexibility to work in either a modeling or a code driven mode depending on which tab they have selected. However, some developers have expressed an interest in hiding the diagram view all together, either because they have very large configuration files that cannot be easily visualized in a diagram, or they are using Tiles based views that are not yet fully supported in the diagram view, or to simply remove the overhead of maintaining a diagram when they only ever want to work directly in the XML. This tip explains how to configure JDeveloper to manage the struts-config file in source only view."
