Adding Custom Skins to the application

If you want to add your own style files (CSS files) to a ADF application, please follow the below steps.

Create css file under the webcontent folder (css can put under subfolder also)
Create a trinidad-skins.xml under WEB-INF folder and create the content like below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>

<skin>

<id>skin1.desktop</id>

<extends>blafplus-medium.desktop</extends>

<render-kit-id>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.desktop</render-kit-id>

<bundle-name>resources.skinBundle</bundle-name>

</skin>

</skins>

Open trinidad-config.xml file under WEB-INF folder and replace the value of the tag <skin-family> with the value of <family> tag in trinidad-skins.xml

Now you can use your CSS file in the application.

Enable logging in Weblogic to print System.out.println()

I have a web application in which I have given “System.out.println()” statements to print information, but I could not see these statements in weblogic logs. To get these print statements in weblogic logs, “stdout” should be enabled in the weblogic server log. To check this, we can follow the below procedure.

Go to weblogic and select the server (Ex: AdminServer) in which you want to enable this logging
Go to “Logging” tab of the server
Click on “Advanced” option
Enable or Check in the option “Redirect stdout logging enabled” if it is not checked in
And also Check in the option “Redirect stderr logging enabled” to print error statements in the server logs
After enabling these options, the screen would look as below

Click on Save button and Restart the server instance
