Oracle TopLink and Application Development Framework (ADF)


	Oracle TopLink and ADF, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, provides a complete J2EE application infrastructure, combining the number one Java object-to-relational persistence architecture, with a flexible application framework based on Struts and JavaServer Faces (JSF). Toplink and ADF is available as part of Oracle Application Server, or independently for use with other J2EE-compliant application servers.

	BENEFITS
	Freedom of Technology Choice—With support for standard and open-source technologies, including Struts, JavaServer Faces, Enterprise JavaBeans, JSR-227 databinding, and more, TopLink and ADF offers developers freedom of choice for both technologies and platforms. Oracle JDeveloper 10g is the optimal design-time environment for TopLink and ADF applications, but Oracle is also committed to enabling choice of development tools: Oracle is leading Eclipse Foundation projects for EJB 3.0 and JSF tooling so developers can access the most advanced TopLink and ADF functionality from the Eclipse IDE. Simplify SOA and J2EE Development—Oracle TopLink and ADF provide design-time and run-time support for two of the cornerstone technologies for the next generation of enterprise Java: EJB 3.0 and JavaServer Faces. These two technologies simplify the complexity of J2EE development, and serve as the building blocks of business services and rich web interfaces for service-oriented applications.
