To create Favicon Icon for Your ADF application without changing context root, you can follow the following steps.
Place the favicon.ico in your Webcontent root.
For me it is like FaviconViewControllerpublic_html
Refresh Your ViewController project it will show favicon.ico in WebContent section as shown in picture.
Now create one jspx page that will use the favicon.ico
Right Click the af:document in structure window and enable the metaContainer facet as shown in the picture.
Inside metaContainer facet create one af:outputText as shown in picture.
Put the value of the outputText
as
set the escape property of the outputText to false.
Now run your page you will be able to see the favicon in supported browsers.
