Oracle ADF Basics

1. What is Oracle ADF?

- Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) is an end-to-end Java EE framework by

Oracle that simplifies

application development by providing visual and declarative tools.

2. Features of Oracle ADF:

- **Productivity:** Visual development tools reduce coding effort.

- **Reusable Components:** Build applications faster with pre-built UI and business components.

- **Integration:** Easily integrates with Oracle E-Business Suite, databases, and web services.

- **Customization:** Provides runtime customization for end-users.

3. Oracle ADF Architecture:

- **Model Layer:** Handles business logic and interaction with data sources (e.g., ADF Business

Components, POJOs).

- **View Layer:** Defines the user interface using ADF Faces or other UI technologies.

- **Controller Layer:** Manages navigation and application flow (based on JSF Controller).

- **Business Services:** Provides access to business logic and data (e.g., Web Services, EJB).

4. Key Components of Oracle ADF:

- **ADF Faces:** A rich set of UI components for building web-based applications.

- **ADF Business Components (BC):** Framework for business logic and data access.

- **ADF Task Flows:** Simplify navigation and application logic management.

- **ADF Bindings:** Enable seamless connection between UI components and the business

model.
5. Oracle JDeveloper:

- The primary IDE for developing Oracle ADF applications.

- Includes visual editors, debugging tools, and integration features.

6. Basic Steps to Create an ADF Application:

- **Step 1:** Create a new ADF Fusion Web Application in JDeveloper.

- **Step 2:** Define the Business Model using ADF Business Components.

- **Step 3:** Design the UI using ADF Faces components.

- **Step 4:** Use Task Flows to define navigation and control logic.

- **Step 5:** Deploy the application to WebLogic Server.

7. Benefits of Oracle ADF:

- Rapid application development.

- Enhanced productivity with a declarative development approach.

- Integration with Oracle technologies and third-party systems.

- Rich and responsive user interfaces.

8. Sample Code Snippet:

Creating a basic ADF Task Flow:

- Define a task flow XML file (`task-flow-definition.xml`).

- Add activities (views, methods) and control flow cases.

Example:

<task-flow-definition>

<view id="view1">

<page>/pages/view1.jsf</page>

</view>
<control-flow-case>

<from-outcome>goToView2</from-outcome>

<to-view-id>/pages/view2.jsf</to-view-id>

</control-flow-case>

</task-flow-definition>
