SPEL IN OAF (OA Framework)

Hi friends, we are going to discuss about the SPEL IN OAF (OA Framework). We will share the detail steps with complete screen shots to use the SPEL feature of OAF in OAF personalization. Using SPEL , we can make the OAF Personalization more dynamic. We don't need to hard code the OAF page fields properties using OAF personalization but even we can use the SPEL feature to set the OAF page fields properties Dynamically. SPEL is one of the most useful feature in OAF where you can put the conditions without any customization's or extensions in the OAF page itself. Please find below the Complete detail about SPEL in OAF (OA Framework).

In personalization , We have two ways to change properties like Rendered or Read Only or Required.

1.  First is  we hard code a value of True/False during personalization.
2.  Second is we can use  a SPEL syntax to these properties via personalization. SPEL is nothing but an expression that returns TRUE or FALSE.
