Oracle ADF Overview
14 likes7,068 views
Oracle ADF is a Java EE framework that aims to reduce the complexity of developing Java EE applications by providing visual and declarative development tools, increasing productivity by reducing coding needs and focusing on the application logic rather than infrastructure code, and encouraging best practices through implementation of standard patterns like MVC. It provides an end-to-end solution for building rich web, desktop and mobile clients that access business services using data binding and visual development.

Oracle ADF Overview
- 1. Oracle ADF Overview Prepared By Karsten Schulz Terp-Nielsen @Oracle Denmark Presented By Bahaa Farouk @hp Egypt
- 2. Oracle ADF Motivation – Challenges building J2EE apps Building J2EE applications can be complex. Development time can be extensive. Choosing and implementing appropriate design patterns can be overwhelming. “Do it yourself” applications often repeat existing application code. A large portion of “do it yourself” code is dedicated to common tasks. The more code you write, the greater the chance of errors. An application framework is needed.
- 3. Oracle ADF Introduction Reduces the complexity of J2EE development by providing visual and declarative development Increases development productivity – Less coding, more reuse – Focus on the application, not the “plumbing” Provides a flexible and extensible environment by allowing multiple technology choices and development styles Encourages J2EE best practices by implementing standard J2EE design patterns

- 15. Entity objects encapsulate business rules, logic, defaults in a consistent way for a table
- 16. View objects encapsulate SQL queries to project, join, filter, order data for external client interaction
- 17. Application module defines data model of view object usages for a complete application use case
- 18. UI works with the application module as backend business service
- 19. As you build new applications, underlying components are reusable

- 23. ADF Faces ADF Faces also includes many of the framework features most needed by JSF developers today: – File upload support is integrated at a component level – Client-side validation is automatically derived from Validators and Converters for an improved user experience – A pageFlow scope makes it easier to pass values from one page to another – A new hybrid state saving strategy gives developers the best of both client and server-side state saving

Editor's Notes
- #23: The UIX components that you use to create your user interfaces can be broadly divided into three groups: Simple components Layout components Composite components Simple components define visible objects like text and images, and objects that map to standard HTML controls on a page. Examples include Button, Image, and Text components. Layout components do not map to visible objects but define the appearance, behavior, and position of other visible objects. Examples include TableLayout, PageLayout, and StackLayout components. Composite components define more complex visible objects that have greater interactive usage. Examples include Shuttle, HideShow, and Tree components.
