This post was more or less inspired by the  noteWindow  example on Oracles tag demo site. When hovering the highlighted text in this example the user gets extra information about the subject.

How to launch LOV and Date dialogs using the keyboard By frank.nimphius on February 26, 2011 9:13 AM Using the ADF Faces JavaScript API, developers can listen for user keyboard input in input components to filter or respond to specific characters or key combination. The JavaScript shown below can be used with an af:clientListener  tag on  af:inputListOfValues  or  af:inputDate . At runtime, the JavaScript code determines the component type it is executed on and either opens the LOV dialog or the input Date popup.    < af:resource  type="javascript">       /**       * function to launch dialog if cursor is in LOV or        * input date field        * @param evt argument to capture the AdfUIInputEvent object      */    function launchPopUpUsingF8( evt ) {       var component = evt.getSource();        if (evt.getKeyCode() == AdfKeyStroke.F8_KEY) {        //check for input LOV component          if (component.getTypeName() == 'AdfRichInputListOfValues') {

1-       Create a .jspx page based on your template as usual   and leave it blank until this time 2-       Create   all the bounded taskflows   that you wants and create the page fragments as usual. 3-       Create a java bean class called"DhamanJavaBean" Package org.dhaman import oracle.adf.controller.TaskFlowId; public class DhamanJavaBean {     private String taskFlowId = "/WEB-INF/emp-flow.xml#emp-flow";     public DhamanJavaBean () {         super();     }      public TaskFlowId getDynamicTaskFlowId() {       return TaskFlowId.parse(taskFlowId);   } }  At this moment the calss contains only one attribute " taskFlowId" and only one method " getDynamicTaskFlowId()" 1-       Double click the "adfc-conf.xml" unbound taskflow and click on overview tab to add a new managed ben as follow: -           Name:           dhamaBean -           Class :           org.dhaman .DhamanJavaBean -           Scope:           pageflow 2-       Now re
