9. Getting into the code ADF BC doesn’t “generate code” “default” XML definition Allows you to expose more and more of the implementation code

10. Getting into the code Exposing code in the Entity Object

11. Getting into the code Exposing code in the View Object

12. Getting into the code Exposing code in the Application Module

13. Common “Forms Trigger” points Validation When-Validate-Item, When-Validate-Record Query Pre-Query, Post-Query Transaction Pre-Commit, On-Commit, Post-Commit Pre-Insert, On-Insert, Post-Insert Pre-Delete, On-Delete, Post-Delete

14. Validation Triggers When-Validate-Item When-Validate-Record

17. The Best of the Rest When-Create-Record When-Remove-Record When-Button-Pressed (UI processing – later)

18. D E M O N S T R A T I O N Adding “trigger” code

19. Searching and Querying Parameterize search form ADF Search Form ADF provides option to “ExecuteWithParams” Execute Query

20. D E M O N S T R A T I O N Adding search code

21. D E M O N S T R A T I O N Calling a stored procedure

22. Next Level – UI Processing Auto Submit Conditional UI processing Expression Language validation Backing/Managed Beans “Stacked canvases” Conditional page flow

23. Auto Submit HTML UI validates only on POST ADF Faces provides Partial Page Rendering AutoSubmit submits page when field changed PartialTrigger defines fields that re-act to changes

24. D E M O N S T R A T I O N Auto Submit

25. Conditional UI Processing JSF Expression Language (EL) Backing/Managed Beans

26. Stacked Canvas Number of facets Each facet is a “canvas” Property to defines which canvas to render

27. D E M O N S T R A T I O N Stacked Canvas

28. Conditional Page Flow Button action returns a string When-Button-Pressed Define page flow based on runtime criteria

29. D E M O N S T R A T I O N Conditional Page Flow

30. Summary ADF provides Forms developers with All your favorite triggers Many of the common Forms concepts Stacked canvases Defining search criteria Conditional page flow And a lot more besides! JDeveloper and ADF continue to provide more and more productivity features for Forms developers
