B.1 Adding Devices in the Page Designer

The adfnmc-config.xml file (Example B-1) contains information about all of the supported platforms and form factors within its platforms and form-factors elements.

Tip:

This file is usually located at C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\JDeveloper\<Build Number>\o.adfnmc.dt\adfnmc-config.xml.

Using this XML file, you can create new platforms and form factors and map the rendering kits (using in the rendering-kit-factory-mappings element). Only update this file with devices supported by the ADF Mobile client runtime. This file enables you to change the list of platforms and form factors without any changes to the JDeveloper mobile client extension.

Note:

JDeveloper does not automatically generate adfmnc-config.xml when you create an ADF Mobile client project. Instead, you must create this file within the META-INF folder of the MobileClient project.
