The ADF Faces Rich Client component set is a collection of Ajax enabled JavaServer Faces components that make development of interactive web applications as easy as drag and drop. Though as much as we want it and as much as it is our mission to make development easy, not everything can be exposed to developers in a drag and drop gesture. Sometimes a bit of Java programming and know how is required to unleash the real power of ADF Faces RC components, and this is what this section of the ADF Code Corner is about. The primary focus for the examples is set to the Fusion Development platform that includes ADF Business components as the persistence layer, ADF for the binding, ADFc as the controller and ADF Faces RC as the view layer.

In addition to the technologies just mentioned, service integration with SOA services also falls within this scope. As much as possible though I'll try to simplify the demonstrated testcase and reduce calls to web services to POJO equivalents to ensure that the provided sample workspaces run in a stand alone environment with no strings attached that would require a bigger installation of the Fusion Middleware software.

This section complements the written how-to documents on ADF Code Corner. Though written how-tos seem to be preferrable, some samples are easier to record than to write up. Samples that appear in this section will either be too short for a written version or too long. The individual recording length is limited to a minimum so it can be watched while enjoying a small cup of coffee or a mini break. Like all how-tos on this page, the video content is technical. If your preference is with overview presentations, please provide your feedback on the OTN Oracle JDeveloper forum.
