Installing and Running the Oracle ADF Faces Data Visualization Components Demo

By Shay Shmeltzer
February 2009

Introduction

To help developers get familiar with the ADF Faces Data Visualization Components, Oracle has created a set of samples that demonstrate the usage and runtime behavior of the components. This include samples for each of the tags as well as more complex interactions with the various components. You can see a hosted version of this demo here.

To further help developers use the components in their project we are also providing a JDeveloper application that you can use to run the demo locally and inspect the code for each one of the demo pages.
Note that the demos use simple POJO components to provide the data source - so you don't need a database. In addition the demo uses regular JSF binding - and not the ADF binding layer - to connect the components to the data.
If you are using ADF binding in your application - a lot of the code that goes into managed beans will be redundant.

Installation Instructions

Download the JDeveloper Application code from here.
Unzip the file into a new directory - and from within JDeveloper use File->Open to locate the extracted dvt-faces-demo.jws file.

Now navigate to the index.jspx page under the Web content section of the project and right click to run the demo.
