20.3 Using HelpTopicId Attribute

To associate a help topic with an ADF component, you must assign the help topic’s unique id as the HelpTopicId attribute’s value. The HelpTopicId attribute is available in the Appearance section of Property Inspector. Note: You can also specify ohwConfigURL using the prop system property. For example, in web.xml, the ohwConfigURL would be configured as: param-nameohwConfigFileURLparam-name param-valuefile:{prop}helpohwconfig.xmlparam-value In adf-settings.xml, the ohwConfigURL would be configured as: property property-nameohwConfigFileURLproperty-name valuefile:{prop}helpohwconfig.xmlvalue property The prop property is predefined, or specified, by starting Oracle WebLogic Server with -Dprop option. For example, -Dprop=Oraclehelp.

20.4 Using Other Help Providers

Two common ADF Rich Client help providers are ResourceBundleHelpProvider and ELHelpProvider. The ResourceBundleHelpProvider help provider allows you to create resource bundles. These resource bundles are containers of your help files, control files, graphics, and other related files. The ELHelpProvider help provider allows you to create XLIFF files. The XLIFF files get converted into maps, or create a managed bean that contains a map of help text strings.
