The Development Experience for Oracle Fusion Lynn Munsinger Principal Product Manager JDeveloper & ADF

Frequently Heard Questions "I've heard that ADF is being used to build Fusion Applications – what do I need to know about it?" "How do I extend and/or integrate with existing Oracle Forms or packaged applications? "What does my team need to learn in order to productively develop Enterprise Java Applications?"

Business Service Goals Bridge Object-Relational gap Manage CRUD operations Queries/DML Implement business rules Data validation Business logic Reusable Standards-based SOA Business Service Goals A key goal of business services is to provide object-relational mapping between relational database tables and Java objects. Once relational objects are mapped, business services provide applications with querying and transactional functionality for CRUD operations. Additionally, business services give developers a place to "hang code" – implementing business rules through data validation and business logic. Services should be loosely coupled so that they are easily reusable. Monolithic services that perform all the functionality of a particular application will not be easily reused in other applications. Regardless of the type of business service you develop, it should be based on standards and therefore portable.

Business Service Selection Frameworks Core Java EE Enterprise JavaBeans Web services Java classes ADF Business Components Oracle TopLink Benefits Develop with a single API No extra libraries required Business Services Options There are many options for developing business services, several of which are shown here. All of these are standard, portable, and reusable options. Core Java EE provides the JPA and EJB specifications which we will discuss in this session. Other options include java classes and web services. These "core" options allow developers to create low-level plumbing details from scratch, and no extra libraries are required on the deployment platform. Additionally, several framework options are available, based on Java EE standards. These framework options allow developers to take advantage of lessons learned in Java EE development and provide built-in design patterns and best practices, and therefore allow developers to skip low-level plumbing implementation details. TopLink is one such framework option, as is ADF Business Components, which will be discussed further in this lesson. Forms/Peoplesoft and 4GL-style developers might find ADF Business Components the best choice for mapping skills. Non- Oracle frameworks include Hibernate and Spring, among others. Note: There are some cases where advanced TopLink features not included with TopLink Essentials/JPA are needed, such as cache coordination for clustering, Object XML Mapping, historical queries, VPD support, etc.  (see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/toplink/jpa/resources/faq.html#13).  Customers who want to use these features will have to use Oracle TopLink. Benefits Declarative development (ADF is SQL-style) Built-in design patterns

ADF Business Components ADF is a framework that simplifies developing Java EE business services for developers familiar with declarative development and relational databases Provides data interaction & business logic execution Enables declarative-style development Wizard-based and visual development Implemented in metadata, not code Enables business logic development Pre-defined Java methods for common events (create, delete, row currency) Declarative business rules

JSF – The UI Framework of Choice Simplify Web Development Server side UI generation Component based, not mark-up Automatic event and state handling Diverse client base, not just HTML Designed with tooling in mind Applicable to wide spectrum of programmer types A Java EE standard 16

ADF Faces Enhances JSF Over 100 types of UI components Trees, tabs, shuttles, etc.….. Rich interactive component set Partial page rendering (PPR) AJAX functionality Value-added features Skinning, templating Multiple renderers (HTML, PDA, wireless,…) Drag and drop data binding Accessibility Internationalization Open source (Apache Trinidad) ADF Faces So, we have had a lot of discussion about components, especially in regard to vendor support for components. Let’s take a moment and talk about Oracles offering. Oracle ADF Faces is a rich set of user interface components based on JSF. Oracle has taken active role in development of JSR-127 since its inception. The Oracle ADF Faces Components provide various user-interface components with built-in functionality - such as data tables, hierarchical tables, and color and date pickers - that can be customized and re-used in your application. ADF Faces also includes many of the framework features most needed by JSF developers: File upload support is integrated at a component level. Client-side validation is automatically derived from Validators and Converters for an improved user experience. A pageFlow scope makes it easier to pass values from one page to another. A new hybrid state saving strategy gives developers the best of both client and server-side state saving. ADF Faces ensures a consistent look and feel for your application, allowing you to focus more on user interface interaction rather than look and feel compliance. The components support multi-language and translation implementation as well as accessibility features. ADF Faces Components use Partial Page Rendering (PPR) offering superior runtime interactivity. PPR allows the browser to do a partial update, rendering only a piece of a page instead of the entire page, removing the annoying but familiar "blinking" pages and providing AJAX-style interactivity.
