| ADF Insider Essentials | Continuing the ADF Insider series, ADF Insider Essentials documents essential skills, tips and techniques you will need for building an application. Each ADF Insider Essentials presents not only a solution to a common ADF development use case, but can be used as way of building your own skills by challenging you to build your own solution. You can then compare your efforts against those of an ADF expert explaining how they solved the problem |

| May/June 2013 -- Calling Home New |
One of the core architecture patterns in Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) that promotes modular software design is the ability to expose bounded task flows in regions on a page. For a region to make callbacks to the owning page or view at runtime, developers typically use one of the following techniques:
Using contextual events, covered in two previous Oracle Magazine articles (see “Implement Contextual Events” and “Master and Commander”), is the most powerful technique for page-to-region and region-to-region interaction, and it also enables communication with nested regions. However, setting up contextual events is complex, and many developers balk at the unnecessary overhead for simple region communication use cases. The bean reference technique explained in this article is easy to implement and well suited for many region communication use cases, making it an important part of the everyday toolbox of an Oracle ADF developer. |
| March/ April 2013 -- Catch Me If You Can |
Java EE applications such as those you build with Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) are based on a layered architecture following the model-view-controller paradigm. In such a layered architecture, each layer can become the origin of an application error that requires handling. As a consequence, error handling should be designed and implemented in all application layers. Error handling is a large knowledge area, and complete coverage of the topic exceeds the Oracle Magazine article format. To fit the available format, this article covers an overview of error handling in Oracle ADF, followed by hands-on instructions on how to implement custom error handlers on the Oracle ADF Controller layer. |
| November/ December 2012 -- Master And Commander |
| An Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) region is an aspect of the Oracle ADF Controller that executes bounded task flows in defined layout areas within a view, page, or page fragment, without forcing a refresh of the entire view. Think portlets and you have the right idea. One common Oracle ADF Region use case that frequently appears on the Oracle Technology Network Oracle JDeveloper forum is a global toolbar or menu bar within a parent view. The goal is to have the global toolbar perform actions, such as data iteration, create/update/delete operations, or context-sensitive help display, on the view displayed in a separate region. This article will show how to implement this use case by borrowing the idea of the command pattern from object-oriented programming. A command pattern implementation, deployed as an Oracle ADF library, is provided for you to use within your custom development projects. |
| September / October 2012 -- Consume Early / Consume Often |
How to service-enable Oracle ADF Business Components application modules for consumption by SOA and Web services clients Forward-looking enterprises build applications on a distributed architecture that transparently brings together Web, SOA, collaboration, content, and social networking services for user access from multiple device types (mobile, laptop, and so on). In my last column (“Service, Please!,” Oracle Magazine, July/August 2012), I showed you how to consume and integrate remote services in an Oracle ADF Business Components application. In this column, I will show you how to expose Oracle ADF Business Components application modules as services for remote use with the primary consumers of such services: Java EE service clients, SOA components, and remote and local Oracle ADF Business Components application modules. |
| July / August 2012 -- Service Please! |
Besides being used in SOA, Web services are a common access pattern in Web application development for remote data queries, application integration, and application departmentalization. Rather than enabling developers to directly access database tables owned by other lines of business, companies can expose the services interface to ensure data integrity and consistent application of business logic on the source data. In this column, you will learn about the Web services integration options available for Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) applications. Stepping through a sample application, you’ll learn how to embed calls from Oracle ADF’s Business Components models into Web services for create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations. |
| May / June 2012 -- Personalized Dashboards |
Many enterprise applications being built today require flexible, dashboard-style presentation of visual data—bar charts, graphs, and the like—showing various levels of information at a glance. Flexibility these days also assumes a certain amount of personalization. The panelDashboard component of the Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) Faces feature is a JavaServer Faces (JSF) layout container that Oracle ADF developers can use to implement such information dashboards. This column will teach you how to change the Oracle ADF Faces panelDashboard component default layout behavior so that users can reorganize information areas according to their needs. You’ll also learn how to persist the user’s changes to the UI beyond the current session by configuring Oracle Fusion Middleware’s Oracle Metadata Services (MDS) feature in conjunction with the Oracle ADF Security feature so that the user’s personalized UI is displayed whenever that person logs in. (Note: hands-on requires JDeveloper 11.1.2.2 for MDS to work properly) |
| March / April 2012 -- A Template With Behavior |
| This column provides an overview of the Dynamic Tabs UI Shell template and illustrates its key concepts through a sample application. Although the sample application doesn’t implement all of the template’s public APIs, it gives you a starting point for exploring how and when to use it. |
