After upgrade to JDeveloper 12.2.1.1 I have noticed issue related to Method Action binding instance name. This is not ADF 12.2.1.1 bug, but JDeveloper bug. JDeveloper sets incorrect name for Method Action binding instance name.
If you are going to create custom method in VO/AM and expose it through interface to be called in bindings layer - there will be similar error as below on runtime:
![]()
Source of this error is in the method binding definition:
![]()
Go to page definition source view and you will find instance name highlighted with warning. JDeveloper is able to recognize invalid expression, but still it generates it. ADF 12.2.1.1 runtime quality is improved, but can't say the same about JDeveloper IDE. Oracle focus is on Cloud, but still there is a lot to do to improve development tools quality:
![]()
Expression must be replaced manually to correct one (the one previous JDeveloper version used to generate) - data.DataControlName.VOInstanceName:
![]()
With correct expression for instance name, custom method is invoked correctly without error:
![]()
