The Challange

• On one side:• JPA, EJB, AJAX, JavaScript, BPEL, SOAP, WSDL, RMI,

JNDI, JDBC, O/R, HTML, DOM….

• On the other side:• Thousands of developers• Most don’t know these technologies• Most come from 4GL background• Expecting a visual and declarative approach• Don’t have time to learn all these new technologies• Need to focus on their specific application needs• Unified way of doing things

• How do you make it easy and approachable?

The Solution - Oracle ADF

• Development framework that simplifies development of Java EE-based Web & SOA applications

• Abstract developers from technology complexities• Example - UI Components abstracts from Ajax, Flash,

Javascript, DOM

• Provides end-to-end infrastructure solutions… • O/R Mapping, persistence, caching, controller, binding, UI

framework

• …and an easy way to use them• Visual editors, Property editors, dialogs etc…

Which Service Framework?

• ADFbc is the expected default implementation for relational access• Declarative• Customizable• Scalable

• Some exceptions for:• High transaction grid environments• Non-relational (XML / Cubic / JMX)

• If in doubt – come and talk to us

ADF Business Components

ADF is a framework that simplifies developing Java EE business services for developers familiar with declarative

development and relational databases

• Provides data interaction & business logic execution• Enables declarative-style development

• Wizard-based and visual development• Implemented in metadata, not code

• Enables business logic development• Pre-defined Java methods for common events (create,

delete, row currency)• Declarative business rules

• Orchestrate heterogeneous services

• Hundreds of adapters for any back-end system

• Visual development of business processes

• Consistent development experience• Same tool• Visual, drag & drop

Event support across the stack

• Operations on ADF-BC objects trigger events, initiating SOA composites

JSF – The UI Framework of Choice

• Simplify Web Development• Server side UI generation• Component based, not mark-up• Automatic event and state handling• Diverse client base, not just HTML• Designed with tooling in mind• Applicable to wide spectrum of programmer types

• A Java EE standard

ADF Faces Enhances JSF

• Over 150 types of UI components• Trees, tabs, shuttles, etc.…..

• Rich interactive component set• Partial page rendering (PPR)• AJAX functionality

• Value-added features• Skinning, templating• Multiple renderers (HTML, PDA, wireless,…)• Drag and drop data binding• Accessibility• Internationalization

• Open source (Apache Trinidad)

iPhone Safari Render kit• The Oracle ADF Mobile Browser client, however, enables developers

to leverage the AJAX capabilities of the iPhone Safari browser, while maintain complete compatibility with mobile browsers that can only handle plain HTML or WAP 2.0 contents.

• Furthermore, it helps developers create user interfaces that are optimized for iPhone screen size and mobile Web use.

Data Binding with the ADF ModelThe heart of ADF

• Single interface for any business service implementation• Abstract implementation from clients

• Drag-and-drop data binding for all services

ADF Skins & JSF Page Templates

• ADF Skins• Skin is a style sheet based on the CSS 3.0 syntax• Load dynamically during runtime

• ADF Page Templates• Consistent layout and style for all your pages• Base UI components for layout and look• Pluggable content zones (facets) for page-specific content• Cannot be nested

Page Fragments

• Not complete JSF pages – they do not have a document tag (af:document) or view tag (f:view)

• Cannot be run on its own• Share the same request scope if inside the same

page• Reusable portion of a page• Reduce the complexity of large pages

Task FlowsReusable ADF Components

• An extension to the ADF page flow concept• Can include pages, page fragments, method calls and

other task flows• Support for bookmarking, transaction management,

exception handling, and the browser back button

Exposing Portlets

Exposed Portlets

Exposing Portlets

• Portlets are reusable web components providing personalization and customization capabilities• Standards-based portlets (JSR 168)

• Oracle PDK-Java portlets

• PL/SQL portlets

• JSF components• PanelCustomizable

• Move left/right/up/down

• Hide/show

• ShowDetailFrame

• Minimize/maximize

Task Flows vs. Portlets

• Similar in functionality and behavior• Task flows are local to the application

• Can share information and transaction boundaries with other items on the page

• Portlets are external to the application• Has some overhead

• Task flows can be portletized for reuse outside the application (JSR-301)

Metadata Services

What is Metadata Services Framework (MDS)?

• A common infrastructure for metadata • Available across App Server Suite

• ADF, SOA, Business Process Management (BPEL) etc. • Provides runtime and design time services such as

• Flexible, Open Storage Options (export/import, file or database)

• Versioning- track and rollback changes to your application• Team Development Support• Dependency Management• Sandboxing • Customization and Personalization

Customizing with MDS

• How it is used • Web Center’s Page Editor

• Allows Business Analysts and Admin browser based design experience

• ADF components persist end user personalization to MDS• User removes columns from a table or freezes columns

• Customization Developer Role in Jdeveloper (seeded)• Allows developers to verticalize their applications• i.e Change attributes displayed based on industry• Customer customizes delivered product to better meet their

business practices.

Customization

• Multiple layers of customization• Configuration determines:

• Number of layers (Verticalization, Site, User etc.)• Precedence of layers

• Context can be determined at runtime• Customizations saved as separate XML documents• Base and customized metadata stored in MDS

repository

Customization Layers simplify Upgrade

Upgrade Can Change Base

Metadata

End User Customization

• User customizations of ADF components• ex.User hides and reorders columns in a table

• Changes Persists for the Session• Changes Persists across Sessions using MDS• Project Level Settings

• Many ADF components support user customization out of the box

End User Customization

• Developers choose which to persist• Initially specified at the application• Override setting for a page• Override for an instance of a component

Developer Customization

• Customizations are made with JDeveloper’s Customization Role

• Customization are made for each defined layer• Experience is the same as creating base metadata• Only Metadata is customizable (not java files etc.)• Only existing metadata, can’t create new pages etc.
