However, since OHW-UIX is a web application, there are some differences in appearance and behavior. OHW-UIX help system is recommended if you are building applications with Oracle ADF UIX technology. If you are not using ADF UIX technology, you must use Oracle Help for the Web – Rich Client help system. For more information, see Chapter 3, OHW-RC User Interface . Figure 4–1 OHW-UIX User Interface Figure 4–1 numbered callouts identify the following user interface components:

1. Branding area

: This area can contain text, an image, or both. Typically, this area identifies the help content or provides company information, such as the name and logo.

2. Helpset switcher

: If you have more than one helpset, you can specify whether to merge them or to enlist them separately in this dropdown.

3. Tab bar

: The default tabs are Contents, Index, Search, and View Topic. 4. Content area : When a tab is selected, the content associated with that tab appears in this area. With the exception of the branding area, these elements are configured in the helpset file. OHW-UIX and OHJ use the exact same file formats, including the helpset file. That means that you can take an existing OHJ help system and deploy it as an OHW-UIX system, without changing any of your existing control files. OHW-UIX uses the same directives from the helpset file to construct its user interface as are used by OHJ to configure its user interface. To deploy a help system as an OHW-UIX system, you have to configure and deploy a servlet container, and you have to add an OHW-UIX configuration file. The branding information is specified in this file, among other configuration parameters.
