Create ADF menu model right clicking the task flows

root_menu.xml 

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

<menu xmlns="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/menu">

    <groupNode id="itemNode_m1_view1" label="label_m1_view1" idref="itemNode_m1_view2">

        <itemNode id="itemNode_m1_view2" label="label_m1_view2" action="m1_view2" focusViewId="/m1_view2">

            <sharedNode ref="#{root_menu2}"/>

        </itemNode>

        <itemNode id="itemNode_m1_view3" label="label_m1_view3" action="m1_view3" focusViewId="/m1_view3"/>

    </groupNode>

</menu>

root_menu2.xml 

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

<menu xmlns="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/menu">
