ADF And/Or JSF : A Shift to Future

Hi All,
I am using Oracle Forms since 1996 and worked in different versions of it. Now there is a move away from Forms to J2EE based solutions like ADF/JSF to name a few. Even Steve is writing a book for Oracle ADF Development for Forms Developers. I have few questions in mind, that
1. What is the best way of learning these technologies means following the book Steve / Grant is writing will help us.
2. One must know ADF before he could learn JSF, Is it a prerequisite ?
3. For a Forms Developer what is a right tool (ADF/JSF) which is closed to form concepts he knows so that the shift could be easy and smooth and after that he can learn more.
Thanks In Advance

You got is a little mixed up - JSF is one technology that the ADF framework uses.
So it is not two options - it is one option.
A great way to start learning development using JDeveloper ADF and JSF is visiting the special center we built for people just like you - Forms developer who want to move to Java.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/formsdesignerj2ee
Try for example the hands-on scripts there.
Then you can continue with the rest of the resource on the JDeveloper home page on OTN.

For some examples of customers who are using Oracle ADF see:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/community/index-085291.html
Most ADF sites are internal to a company or just for specific users. There are however several public site built with ADF.
Some examples include:

One immediate thing: "EA6" is in the tag library namespaces, but you're using EA12.
In general, there've been a lot of changes between EA6 and EA12, but the changed namespace is one simple thing.

Oracle ADF and Oracle Applications

Hi All,
Can we use Oracle ADF with current version of Oracle E-business suite (R11i 2 in my case)? Or we need to use only OAF and ADF can be used only for future release of Oracle ERP?
It will be great if someone can list the benefits of OAF over ADF for Oracle EBS 11i 2. I want to convince the customer that ADF is not safe or not a good platform for the customizations in current release (R11i 2) and even for next immediate version (R12).
Thanks in advance,
CAH

Hi,
I don't think ADF can be used with Apps 11i,it can be user in R12(this is my understanding), if you want to run ADF pages from Apps then these pages should be located on External server and you can access this as an External Application.
As far as customization is concrened, it can't be done using ADF only new Applications be developed in ADF and if you are planning to develop some custom application in Apps then ADf will be a good choice as migration to 11g will be easier(but it will not support Apps specific features like KFF, DFF, Attachments etc.)
Please check Metalink Note 563047.1 on metalink for this and you can check some articles on this www.apps2fusion.com and Mukul's Blog.
I hope you will get some clear picture on this.

Reetesh Sharma

Oracle ADF and OAS licencing

Hi all,
I have been doing a research on JSF component, ADF and ADF Faces for our project. I have found some intresting things that
ADF faces(donated to Apache by Oracle) is free but it is only for front end (not complete) as of ADF.
ADF is more promising and good frame work. ADF is free to be deployed on OAS. but i am unable to find pricing for Oracle Application Server is it free ?.. and what is the price for Deploying ADF on Tomcat or other Open source Servers...?.Can i get this information I need it urgently. Thanks..

Hi,
the Oracle AS licence depends on the edition you want to use. I suggest to get in touch with a local sales office to get the pricing information.
ADF Faces / ADF deployed to 3rd party servers has a licence cost of 5k USD per CPU (at least this is my latest information. So you better check this too)

Best Practices for BI, ADF and Oracle Forms installations on Weblogic

Hi, I'm researching options on upgrading to Oracle 11g Middleware. My company currently has Oracle Forms 10g running on Oracle Application Server.
We are interested in using Oracle Forms 11g, ADF and Jdeveloper, and Business Intelligence with Oracle's Weblogic 10.3.5.
Is there any whitepapers or documentation on best practices for installing alll of these components together?
For instance, can ADF ( with JSF 2.x ) be installed in the same domain as Oracle Forms 11g but use different managed servers?
Will Business Intelligence need to be in a seperate Oracle Home with it's own weblogic installation? I spend a lot of time trying to get the JSF upgraded to 2.x in the Business Intelligence installation and could not get it to work.
I know it's a pretty broad question but thank you for any direction on this.

Thanx for the reply! I read through the documents and they are very good at explaining how to install the different components individually. I still can't find much on installing them together. I hope it's not just going to be a trial and error thing.
So far I've installed done the following successfully:
Installed 10.3.5 weblogic
Forms and Reports 11g on top of 10.3.5
I've created an additional managed server for our ADF applications.
My next step is upgrading the JSF to 2.x. I would have to stage patches 12917525 and 12979653. I'm afraid it will break the forms and reports though. Any ideas?

ADF and portlet?

ERRORS in the Lab - Developer Day: Oracle ADF and Fusion Middleware Dev

I atteneded the Developer Day on Oracler ADF and Fusion Middleware Development on 11/19. I did the lab (following step by step instructions) and encountered the following errors:
1) Export to Excel (Step 4, actions 5-9) - Got run-time 500 error when run app. I had to skip these steps to be able to continue with the lab.
2) Click on Printable Page (Step 4, action 16) - I looks like it works, but nothing shown up on the browser or printing actually happened.
3) Click on Create Insert (Step 4, action 26) - Got Java.Lang.NumberFormatException
4) There is no lab for mobile application development. Where should I start? [getting mobile plug-in software, lab tutorials]
The instructor said that I could post any questions on the Forum. I hope that this is the correct Forum to post these types of questions. Thanks much in advance for your responses.

Perfect, I get the exact same page when I login, however, this page doesn't have any links to the actual sessions. If I remember correctly, after logging in another window used to open in which we could select the session to play.
Please let me know how I can access the session from the page that is displayed after logging in. Thank you for taking time to check, appreciate your help.

Oracle ADF and ECM workflow

Hi,
I'm looking for ideas on how to implement this which will involve using Oracle ADF and ECM Workflow.
1. Oracle ADF App that will check-in an item into ECM.
2. Using Oracle ECM workflow, an email is sent to the manager that a item has been checked in and is ready for review. The manager access the ADF app , clicks on a "Awaiting approval" and reviews the doc(in an iframe), makes comments(if possible) and then approves it in which case it is published or rejects it in which case it sent back to the employee.
3. I found a similar posting to this Re: Custom pages at each workflow step in UCM
Thoughts, ideas?
Thanks.

Everything, from checking in, to get a list of approvals, is available by services. You can call the service from an ADF and use the result of that service as a dataset to use in a table. In the administration menu, there are WSDL descriptors for each part for example the check in service, the search service, the workflow service,...

ADF and WebCenter 11g libraries upgrade paths for WLS 12.1.3

We want to upgrade one of our WLS from 10.3.6 to 12.1.3.
(1) The application hosted on this instance uses the following ADF and WebCenter libraries (also deployed on the same WLS). Please confirm if these can be deployed in WLS12c without any changes or if we need to check on an upgrade path to ADF or Webcenter 12c components as well:
adf.oracle.businesseditor(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
adf.oracle.domain(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
adf.oracle.domain.webapp(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.adf.dconfigbeans(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.adf.desktopintegration(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.adf.desktopintegration.model(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.adf.management(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.bi.adf.model.slib(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.bi.adf.view.slib(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.bi.adf.webcenter.slib(1.0,11.1.1.2.0)
oracle.bi.composer(11.1.1,0.1)
oracle.bi.jbips(11.1.1,0.1)
oracle.bpm.mgmt(11.1.1,11.1.1)
oracle.webcenter.composer(11.1.1,11.1.1)
oracle.webcenter.skin(11.1.1,11.1.1)
oracle.wsm.seedpolicies(11.1.1,11.1.1)
orai18n-adf(11,11.1.1.1.0)
(There are other libraries too but not anything related to ADF or Webcenter)
(2) We also have EM extension template in WLS 10.3.6. How can we upgrade this? Do we need to delete this and install FMW infra 12c with the additional DB schema and then try to extend the 12c domain?

Moved your thread to the WLS Communities since you are not asking if products are certified.
Thanks,
Lisa Fedynich
