How to Configure Servlet with ADF Faces ?

This blog explains about configuring Servlet class with ADF Page Fragment or ADF Page.

Implementation

- Create a Servlet class in ViewController project, which should extend to HttpServlet and override doGet() method as shown below.
- This method obtains the Application Module Impl class using Data Controller Frame name and Data Controller name. This is one of the best practice to obtain AMImpl instance in non ADF classes.

- Configure newly created Servlet in Web.xml as shown below.
