Oracle ADF Business Components is a model layer technology in the Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF). Oracle ADF Business Components is a fully-featured, XML-based framework for creating business services. That is, it governs interaction between the rest of the application and the data stored in the datasource, providing validation, specific services, and other business logic.

To launch the wizard, in the Application Navigator, right-click the project and choose New. In the New Gallery, under Business Tier in the Categories tree, select ADF Business Components and then select Business Components from Tables in the Items list. Click OK.
You will create default business components based on the ORDERS, ORDER_ITEMS, and PRODUCTS_BASE tables in the FOD schema.
