Comments on: Fear for renaming (refactoring) ADF BC objects in JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 is not unfounded

Lucas, John: I have added:
-Renaming an item and a region in a JHeadstart Application Definition.
-Remarks about consequences for the AFD model layer, particularly that pageDefinition en JSPX files are not updated when you rename a VO instance or VO attribute, which is correct (but maybe not expected) because the BC and model are separated layers.

Very useful overview Frank.Well done.

Have you per chance also looked at renaming an Item (and a Region) in a JHeadstart Application Definition? What is your recommendation for removing the obsolete entries from the DataBindings.cpx file or the Resource Bundles? Are these straightforward but manual actions?

Frank,

Well done! I believe there are also probably some pageDef.xml issues when re-factoring straight BC objects (without JHeadstart), particularly if a VO or AM is renamed.

But well, done, sir, well done
