One of the things that's changed slightly in 10.1.3 is the implementation of the Struts/ADF integration. We still support the 10.1.2-style DataAction approach, and migrate existing 10.1.2 applications to use the existing classes, but if you create new Struts/JSP applications in 10.1.3, you'll notice that when you do "Go to Code" on your DataAction or DataPages, they extend a new PageController class. It's lifecycle points are nearly identical to the ones that existed for the DataAction, so it still feels familiar. This work was done in order to unify the lifecycles across Struts, Model 1 development, and JSF.

Some developers experimenting with the 10.1.3 EA1 release complained they couldn't find the JavaDoc for this new PageLifecycle class. And they were right. For some reason we inadvertently missing listing the new adfv2_javadoc.jar in the list of javadoc archives for the "ADF Controller Runtime" library in the EA1 release.

I've filed a bug to get this fixed for production, but here's the workaround in the meantime. Add a new library to your library list on the "Libraries" page of your project properties, and in that new library definition, add an entry under the "Doc Path" for the the JAR file <JDEVHOME>/jdev/doc/ohj/adfv2_javadoc.jar. Then, when you go select "Goto JavaDoc" you'll see the java doc correctly. The source of the new classes lives in the ./adfc/src/adfc-controllersrc.zip archive, as well.
