ADF Business Components

The Create Business Components from Tables wizard does not create a user interface, nor does it determine other application logic such as control flow. It just provides a representation of, and access to, data, and implements business logic.

Specifically, Oracle ADF Business Components technology handles all aspects of application plumbing automatically:

• It automatically handles O/R mappings and persistence for instances of its own library classes
• It allows you to make complex requests for data retrieval using SQL
• It automatically handles transaction management, including optimistic or pessimistic locking
• It provides a framework for implementing complex business logic
• It automatically implements many Java EE design patterns
• It has a powerful caching and data passivation system for increasing the performance and scalability of applications
