JDeveloper as Rich Client Platform?

Hello,
is it possible to remove all default extensions in Developer or SQL Developer and only use custom extensions?
This means, is it possible to do something similar to the Eclipse Rich Client Platform? Has someone already tried this ?
kind regards
peter

You would like to remove all the extensions that make JDev look like a developers's IDE. You would like to keep the plugin infrastructure that allows the development of modules of 'business functionality' (banking, science, media arts etc) as plug-in extensions. The application will not look like an IDE but we would have the flexibility to use JDev features (such as the wizards infrastructure, or the various viewers) in our applications
In other words, we would like the Eclipse RCP functionality and the ADF framework in a nice integrated package. Unfortunately, I don't think that this is going to happen any time soon. Otherwise, Oracle would have already made an attempt to create an ADF plugin for Eclipse...

Can Eclipse Rich Client Platform embedded javaFX script?

My application is based on Eclipse Rich Platform Application (RCP), and rcp includes the SWT_AWT bridge,
which allows RCPs to integrate Swing components as:
Composite swtAwtComponent = new Composite(parent, SWT.EMBEDDED);
java.awt.Frame frame = SWT_AWT.new_Frame( swtAwtComponent );
javax.swing.JPanel panel = new javax.swing.JPanel( );
frame.add(panel)
First, I create a JavaFX project, where a subclass of the Scene creates, let's look at the code:
* Rect.fx
public class Rect extends Scene {
init {
content = [
Rectangle { width: 200 height: 200 fill: Color.BLUE },
Text { x: 20 y: 20 content: "Greetings Earthling!" fill: Color.WHITE }
public function run(args : String[]) {
     Rect {}
Then, another Plug-in Project has been created a rich client application, and rcp includes the SWT_AWT bridge,
which allows RCPs to integrate Swing components as:
Composite swtAwtComponent = new Composite(parent, SWT.EMBEDDED);
java.awt.Frame frame = SWT_AWT.new_Frame( swtAwtComponent );
javax.swing.JPanel panel = new javax.swing.JPanel( );
frame.add(panel)
There are two lines to create the JavaFX scene to be loaded into a JFrame:
String sceneClass = "test.Rect";
JComponent myScene = SceneToJComponent.loadScene(sceneClass);
The SceneToJComponent class comes from the JFXtras project.
Its loadScene() method loads a JavaFX Scene class and returns a JComponent object,
which can be used as a normal Swing JComponent.
String sceneClass = "test.Rect"; // the main class of the javafx script
JComponent theScene = SceneToJComponent.loadScene(sceneClass);
In Rcp application, when try the load the class, this code compiling,
running and trowing exceptionon console I have the following error:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jfxtras/scene/SceneToJComponent
also if this class is present in the classpath of the java project.
Then I've tried to place this code in simple java application (not eclipse rcp) and all went ok.
Has anyone tried to include this code in eclipse rich client platform (rcp)?
Thanks in advance, Best regards
Shanti

I have download Java FX2.0 to emebed a scene in a Swing component inside a view of a rcp application, setting the classpath with jfxrt.jar.
See the following code:
     public void createPartControl(final Composite parent) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
          public void run() {
jfxPanel = new JFXPanel();
createScene();
but my problem is unresolved, the eclipse console shows the following error:

Tutorial and SDRDemo ..Build Rich Client Forms in JDeveloper .

I am doing the self learn tutorial in Jdeveloper
ADF Business Components     10.1.3.34.12
CVS Version (External)     (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2260 (client/server)
Java Platform     1.5.0_05
Oracle IDE     10.1.3.34.12
Struts Modeler Version     10.1.3.34.12
UML Modelers Version     10.1.3.34.12
Versioning Support          10.1.3.34.12
First one is simple
1. I am using the "Build Rich Client Forms in JDeveloper using ADF swing .. Tutorial "
when i select New Application , I cant see Java Application Swing ADF BC value from the application Temp in drop down ?? What am i misssing .???
The second issue is bit complex I am doing the Tutorial SRDemo
I am doing on page 2 14 of Tutorial creating EJBS Session Beans when Running the Wizard I dont see
Generate Session Facade
Entity Implementation
Options, subsequently the screen shot on next page does which has all the methods are not appearing.
Also when adding code (2-16) in SPPublic FacadeBean Iam getting snytax error for
(clearly related to above issue), I have no choice but to redo the tutorial from begin
but should I change something before I do that ?
public ServiceRequests createServiceRequests
(String problemDescription, Integer productId, Integer createdBy)
{ UnitOfWork uow = getSessionFactory().acquireUnitOfWork();
ServiceRequests newInstance = (ServiceRequests)uow.newInstance(ServiceRequests.class);
Products product = (Products)uow.executeQuery("findProductById", Products.class, productId);
Users user = (Users)uow.executeQuery("findUserById", Users.class, createdBy);
product.addServiceRequests(newInstance);
user.addCreatedBy(newInstance);
newInstance.setStatus(null);
newInstance.setRequestDate(null);
newInstance.setProblemDescription(problemDescription);
uow.commit(); return newInstance; }
==============
Other than that in previous steps I came across a few interesting Scenarios
While following the step by steps operation of Tutorial I see on 2 6 when I was adding code to manage Default Value while I was doing the code adding
public Integer getNextLineItem() {
int maxLineNo = 0;
for (ServiceHistories svh:getServiceRequests().getServiceHistoriesCollection()){
if (svh.getLineNo() !=null) {
int testLineNo = svh.getLineNo().intValue();
if (testLineNo > maxLineNo){
maxLineNo = testLineNo;
return ++maxLineNo;
for (ServiceHistories svh:getServiceRequests().getServiceHistoriesCollection()){
I kept on getting the compile error for type casting, which when I tried to compare the source provided at the end of the chapter I found the type cast generated by Jbuilder was missing
public List <ServiceHistories> getServiceHistoriesCollection() {
return this.serviceHistoriesCollection;
2.Another interesting thing I came across was by default the wizrd created the names of these variables and there corresponding getter and setter methods as user1 and user2, which lead to some confusion while doing Named query section on 2 9 (Once again I took care of the problem by doing File comparison with the )
private ValueHolderInterface createdBy;
private ValueHolderInterface assignedTo;
3. Also by default on 2 - 12 When I was Creating Top link Session, I didnt get any session.xml file. ( tutorial presumed I will get one by default )
4. Last is it normal to get Warning when getting report for POJO mapping for some of the Tables

'Generate Web Service Stub/Skeleton' option in 10.1.2, was replaced by 'Generate Web Service Proxy' in 10.1.3

JDeveloper 11g/ADF Faces Rich Client

Hello,
We are trying to decide between using JDeveloper 10.1.4 and JDeveloper 11g for developing a new application - we plan to use just the ADF Faces layer of the ADF Framework along with Spring and TopLink for other layers.
On one hand we think that is is safer to use 10.x version of ADF Faces as it may be more stable and on the other hand we are tempted to use 11g as it provides Ajax-enabled JSF Components.
Has anyone used ADF Faces Rich Client Framework for developing applications? Is it stable enought to be used for production-level applications?
I would love to hear your thoughts!

Hi,
don't use 10.1.3.4 to develop a new application now unless you have browser constraints with your user-base.
ADF Faces RC / 11g requires:
FireFox 2, 3
Internet Explorer 7.0
Safari 3.0
11g is a significant update and they have vastly improved/redesigned a lot of things that were difficult/complex to do in earlier versions.
Plus the 11g user interface is way better from a users perspective.

Integrate an ADF rich client component in form

Hi all. I'm on devsuite10g. I have got a question: how I can integrate/insert an ADF rich client component in my form without using Jdeveloper??
Is there a way to do it??
Thanks all for the collaboration,
Fabrizio

Hi,
you can use any other Java IDE for this and just work with the properly configured tag libary and the required settings in web.xml. However, since Developer Suite 10g is 10.1.2, you can't use the components unless your form runs on a platform that supports JavaEE 1.5

JDev 11g: Task Flows,Rich Client- some questions to the Oracle team

Hello,
We're currently involved (early stages) in a large project with a Jan-Mar 2008 pilot delivery timeframe - one heavily including end-user customizable workflow elements, to which the aforementioned JDev/ADF 11 features would be a great fit.
Our plans so far were to go ADF with BC and include Shale or Spring WebFlow plus custom development to provide for the very same things that the feature-complete Task Flows will offer.
Questions:
1. Delivery timeframe - any unofficial pointers on the schedule for the next JDev/ADF releases?
2. Platform compatibility - Will the framework (ADF) run on J2EE 1.3 (OAS 10.1.2.x) or does it require 1.4+?
3. Design-time-at-runtime for Task Flows - Do we have it in the released bits? (Couldn't find it). Any pointers on how is it supposed to operate?
4. Am I right to think that what we're seeing with Task Flows is (among other things) a piece of the replacement functionality for the decommissioned Oracle Workflow subsystem (which bit us, by the way, as it was part of our original architecture).
5. Will Rich Client support older platforms than the currently supported IE7 and Firefox 2?
Thanks for any and all pointers,
Thanassis Stathopoulos
Athens, Greece

Thanks Shay,
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/papers/11/newfeatures/index.html
Regarding my question 3 "Design time at runtime" - quoting from "JDeveloper 11g new features" at the above URL, under "ADF Task Flow". The third entry from the paragraph's end reads:
'Support for customization of task flows at runtime using "design time at runtime"'.
I was wondering what this is exactly - web-deployable editor to edit the flow definition after deployment?
Re your point 4, product replacement - with the feature set described in the paragraph above, Task Flows is much more than a Web UI controller. With "save for later", transactions, flow abstraction/nesting, BPEL outcalls, conditional logic, method calls etc etc it probably covers 50% of a typical workflow package and 75% of an embeddable workflow library (audit trail/timeouts/persistence nonwithstanding). This made me wonder whether it is part of a bigger, yet-to-be-announced OAS feature. Especially if one also considers the "design-time-at-runtime" sentence listed above.
Now, definition-wise, I guess it' s whether this feature set is considered half-full or half-empty :-)
Thanks again,
Thanassis

Difference Between Oracle ADF and ADF Rich Client

Hello Gurus,
I want to know the difference between those two:
Oracle ADF:
http://goo.gl/6Q1i2
and
ADF Rich Client:
http://goo.gl/L31ra
I downloaded Jdeveloper 11g (11.1.2.3.0)
I did this tutorial which It adf right? http://goo.gl/8Mf7c
and this other is rich client right? http://goo.gl/7Krew
Can I please know the advantages of them over the other one? THANKS !!!

ADF Faces Rich Client Components are a part of Oracle ADF.
So Oracle ADF uses ADF Faces as the components for the rich web UI, but it also offers things like simplified database access through ADF Business Components, an advanced ADF Controller layer, and simple data binding.
I would suggest starting with this seminar:
http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/Introduction_To_ADF/Introduction_To_ADF.html

Facelets support in ADF Rich Client

I have tried to use ADF Rich Client with Facelets
but it looks like the tag library schema is not recongined, and the ADF RC tag schema definition in html root tag and all ADF RC tags are copied into output.
any comments or info from any one?

hi,
to add my 2 cents
by the way do you know when will be a code drop of ADF RC available in Apache ?
I assume this to happen some time after ADF Faces RC goes production
1) legacy(!?) pages in one of projects we have hundreds of pages developed in facelets and it is a little hard to convert them all.
We don't support JSF 1.1 content (and Trinidad content) to be on the same page as ADF Faces RC. So if you like to continue using your current stack then the option to go with in Trinidad in JDeveloper 11, not ADF Faces RC
3) Templating
ADF Rich Faces Templating mechanism is an strong one, but a little different with Facelets, for example in Facelets templates can be used inside each other but in ADF RC as far I I know they can not.
The runtime does support template nesting, the designtime does. However, as Shay mentioned using daclarative components might be a nice addition to reuse.
4) composition component
in facelets it is easy make a new composite component by mixing existing components
for example add an export to PDF and Excel button to a table.
looks like the current ADF Templating mechanism can be used to solve this issue.
Declarative components do.

[solved] problems w/rich client component demo

Hello -
I've been trying to run the rich client component demo as described in http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/adffaces/11/doc/demo/adf_faces_rc_demo.html
in TP2 of JDeveloper 11. I've run into a few problems. (I am assuming that the article will work as written in TP2 since the date on the article is September 2007.)
(minor) The link to the demo under the "Running the Demo from Oracle JDeveloper" section is broken. The link in the section for "Installing the ADF Faces Component Demo on a Standalone OC4J" works.

Nevermind. I thought I had TP2 but I think it was really TP1. Creating (and running) the project from the WAR file works for me now.

Protocol Router for Rich Client Front Controller

Hello,
I would like to support multiple client types in my J2EE application - Web Client and Rich Client (Swing Application).
Java BluePrints (Designing Enterprise Applications
with the J2EETM Platform, Second Edition) suggests using a Protocol Router for centralized control in case of supporting multiple client types with multiple controllers - http://java.sun.com/blueprints/guidelines/designing_enterprise_applications_2e/web-tier/web-tier5.html.
I have several doubts with this approach and will appreciate very much any help with clarifying the following:
1) How does a Rich Client communicate to Protocol Router? Using HTTP? That means then that each request/response has to be wrapped in HTTP Request/Response object. It may impact the performance and make the communication between Rich Client and back-end slower.
2) If rich client communicates with Protocol Router through HTTP, what is the difference between Fron Controller for Web Client and for Rich Client?
3) The J2EE Tutorial on the other hand, shows direct connection from Application (Rich) Client to EJB layer - http://java.sun.com/j2ee/tutorial/1_3-fcs/doc/Ebank.html.
It will be greatly appreciated to know how would you address the above doubts.
Best Regards.

1) How does a Rich Client communicate to Protocol
Router? Using HTTP? Yes, HTTP . You are right about performance issues. That protocol router seems to me like like overengineering. Anyway, I think a WEB service could be better choice. It's a standart way how to wrap remote requests in HTTP.
2) If rich client communicates with Protocol Router
through HTTP, what is the difference between Fron
Controller for Web Client and for Rich Client?I think the difference is in types of requests. WEB client would request
WEB pages, SWING client doesnt need WEB pages. It would request contents
of list boxes and things like that.
I would suggest you to use EJB's with session facade pattern. Provide WEB service style access to your app. Many app. servers provide feature to expose SLSB as WEB services. Thus you will support almost any types of clients (.NET, Perl, whatever). You can also use WEB service to connect from you'r SWING client. If later you are not satisfied with performance, you can switch to RMI. If you use BusinessDelegate pattern then you will need to change BusinessDelegate only, just one class.
I have written an example EJB based app. which can be accessed by SWING client using RMI or SOAP, WEB client, .NET client and CORBA.
You can get it from:
http://www.datapro.lv/~mariso/ejb.html
feel free to ask questions, if you have any

Error(57): "rows" is not a valid attribute name.
Error(57): "maxColumns" is not a valid attribute name.

Forget about it ... downloading again and reinstalling it without any errors ... may be i downloaded from an older link or do some bad copy ... sorry disturbing you !

Rich Client functionality in jdev 10.1.3 ?

I'm wondering if there are any possibility to get ADF Rich Client functionality, like clientListeners in JDev 10.1.3 ?
What I'm looking for is to use a javascript or something to execute a commandButton on load of a jsp page.
Any ideas?
Thanks
/Jonte

Jonte,
ADF Faces Rich Client depends upon JSF 1.2, whereas JDeveloper 10.1.3.x only supports JSF 1.1; therefore, no. However, have a read of section 10.5.4.3 of [url http://database.in2p3.fr/doc/oracle/Oracle_Application_Server_10_Release_3/web.1013/b25947/bcdcpal005.htm]this for some possible ideas

No business layer sent back from server in Rich Client

Hi,
Whenever user tries to open a universe from Rich Client, he gets this error while webi works fine for him. What could be the issue?
Hi Rich Client version is SAP 4.0.6.02 same as mine and mine is working fine.
Only this particular user is affected. What could be the issue?
Thanks for your time.

There are several cases for this issue to occur, as per your discussion it appears to be a user/machine specific issue
If the issue is machine specific:
Cause: SAP Business Objects BI Platform client tools was unable to make changes in the Windows Operating system registry due to insufficient access rights of a Windows user who used to perform the installation
Resolution:
Log on to the host with SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform SP04 Client tools as Windows Administrator (or a member of Administrators group)
Launch Web Intelligence Rich Client application
This will make entries in windows registry, further you will not get the error
It the issue is user specific: That is this user will get the specified error across all client machines for the give scenario
Cause:
Insufficient rights to the user/group on Universe Connection
Resolution:
Login to Central Management Console (CMC) using Enterprise Administrator.
Navigate to Connections.
Grant User/Group 'View on Demand' Access level to the Connection on which the Universe is to be created.
Login to the BI Launchpad with the user and create New Webi report.

Rich Client Login fails from Infoview but works fine if opened from desktop

Hi Friends,
When i open WebI Rich Client from my infoview (By changing the preferrance settings in Infoview), it returns an error as "Login Fails" , but if i open the webI Rich Client from my Start->Programs->Business Objects XI 3.0->WebI Rich Client , it works fine. i am not sure why invoking rich client from infoview fails, but the same works fine, if opened directly from the desktop. I have only one user "administrator" Created with no password in the Enterprise.

Hi,
Windows XP is not officially supported for a BOBJ server installation. Can you consider installing BO on a Windows Server machine?
Have a look prior to the installation at the Support Platforms document for BO XI 3.0. You can find this here:

Rich client frameworks

Hello,
I am looking for a framework to develop rich client application quickly or easily. I have found the following frameworks:
1. TikeSwing: I have read it is a good choice, but it has not enough documentation.
2. SpringRCP: It can be another choice, but I think It is not matured.
3. With EclipseRCP or NetbeansRCp.
Anybody knows something about them? Any opinion?
Thanks in advance.

I also want to develop a rich client application and I decided to use NetBeans platform. The reason why I did this decision is that NetBeans IDE has a very nice templates which will guide you through the creation of your first RCP application. However, the documentation is not very good, but getting better each day...
Hope this opinion helps.
