ADF Equivalents of Common Oracle Forms Triggers

Hello,
is there some document guide, explaining how different tasks and triggers are accomplished using ADF?
I found this one:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/muench/formstriggers/index.html?_template=/ocom/print
but it is a bit old and I think some of the solutions are not used anymore.
Does this document has an updated version?
Thanks in advance.

Valhery,
It is indeed an old document, but is still very applicable today.
You may also be interested to review the material [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/4gl/formsdesignerj2ee.html]here

Problem in concurrent update in ADF BC (compare to oracle forms)

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.
I created a simple form on EMP table using JSF/ADF BC template and then I browsed the EMP form with 2 separate browsers.
Both browser were on the same record (for example SMITH record). I changed the value of salary in one browser and commit the change. Then, in the second browser I changed the value of salary to something else and commit. As I expected I got JBO-25014: RowInconsistentException. (a similar error was shown when we used Oracle Forms and updated one record from 2 separate sessions).
I pressed the commit button for the second time and surprisingly enough,the changes committed successfully !!!
In oracle Forms you had to re-query to be able to change when an error like this happened and normally it should be the same in ADF BC. The strange part is that the framework detects that the record has been changed and prevents committing operation but just for one time!!!
I tried locking mode to both optimistic and pessimistic but there was no difference.
Is it any way to achieve the same functionality we had in oracle forms in the past?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Navid

Hi,
I think this can be explained the best with the fact that the web is stateless. If you mark a record for update, which you do when you submit it. Then it should get locked in the database. After commit you release the lock and whoever wants to override the value you put in can do this. I don't think that a lock should be released only if a user re-queries the data. You can code this in though: just requery the records on error

Oracle Forms equivalent operations in Oracle ADF

I need to know whether there are equivalent operations in ADF corresponding to these operations in Oracle Forms
System.Current_block
System.Current_record
System.Current_form
etc...

As a mechanism to working out how ADF works, a suggested read is the Fusion Dev Guide: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E16162_01/web.1112/e16182/toc.htm
Once you've done this, as extension the dev guide has appendixes "F - ADF Equivalents of Common Oracle Forms Triggers" & "G Performing Common Oracle Forms Tasks in Oracle ADF" for assisting Forms programmers in moving to ADF, a feature/mind map as you will.
However as Vinod says, don't make the mistake of thinking ADF is similar to Forms in its implementation. While Forms and ADF attempt to achieve similar results (ie. applications querying data from a db and showing to the user to view or edit), they do it in totally different technologies.

Developering ADF form in query mode (Oracle forms simulation)

Hi,
we have a requirement for developing the existing Oracle form using Oracle ADF. The existing Oracle form displays the form in query mode by default. We can enter the search criteria in any of the text fields and then execute query to get the results. If the user does not enter any search criteria, then the form loads specific record based on default criteria into the form. Could you please help developing similar form using ADF.
At present I created the view object with one bind variable and dragged the view as ADF form to the jspx page. Then I am launching the form in query mode (executing the find method on the view object using operation binding at the time of loading the page). After entering the query criteria in the form, If I click on a button I am executing a method in the managed bean. In the managed bean I am executing the "Execute" operation on the view and it is working fine.
But my problem is if the user does not enter the search criteria I have to pass default parameters to the view object and return the default record in the form.
Can you please help in resolving the issue.
Thanks and Regards,
S R Prasad

Hi Frank,
Thank you for providing information. I created the query panel with the table by dragging all the named criteria. But this is not the look we are expecting for this form. As we have to deveop ADF form with the same behavior as oracle forms, the user must be in a position to edit the data in the same field as that of query field.
As an example, we have to design a form for Dept table. We have to display all the columns of the dept view in the form at the time of launching the form in query mode. Once the user enters any search criteria in the form, we have to perform search and display the record(s) matching the query criteria in the same columns displayed in the form. User should not see any changes in the form layout.
If the user does not enter any data in the form, then we have to display the record(s) in the form with the specific department id(This department id can be calculated based on the data in another table).
Can you please help us in resolving the issue.
Thanks and Regards,
S R Prasad

ORACLE 11G: Embedding an ORACLE Form within an ADF JSF page

We are currently reviewing the options available to allow us to embed an ORACLE 11G form within an ADF application (11.1.1.4), we are aware of the 'oraformsfaces' functionality but wanted to ask whether there were any other options available to us within ORACLE 11G?
The reason for the question is that we were informed by ORACLE prior to upgrading to ORACLE 11G that the facility to embed an ORACLE form was 'standard' within ADF 11G hence the reason for upgrading.
Thanks in Advance!
Neil

As I noted before, when you seamless, if you mean the user will be unaware that he has switched from a Forms app to an ADF app then I think he will notice - some clever integration of things like JS maps and Graphs might be seamless but a complete ADF app would be obvious to a user. Physically the Forms widgets are a different technology to ADF Faces - you can get the colors the same, you can event get the widgets the same size but it will pretty much be impossible to get the same because you are not comparing apples and apples.
Regarding your questions
1) Do you mean the time it takes to start up the applet? Possible longer than ADF but not necessarily
2) Each form runtime process will have its own database connection and each user has his own applet.
3) "Considerable" is subjective - it will involve some work but we specifically built the JS api to help
Your last point - are you refering to "evolve core business logic into a common layer" what I mean here is that if you have a business process (e.g. hire_employee) which involves creating a new record,ordering a laptop and getting a security pass - then you could take that code out of Forms and put it somewhere else. You could then call that code from Forms (your old apps that you still need) and also call it from your new apps (so calll that code rather than calling the Forms application to do the job). - Of course, there is effort involved there...
One final point to make ADF is NOT Forms - its not the "new" Forms and it doesn't replace Forms - so any change between Forms and ADF is by no means "go to the next version" - they are different technologies with different sweet spots - moving one to the other will be a considerable effort, and I would say one which should also accompany business process changes (if possible) as well..
Hope this helps

Oracle ADF Find and Execute in form

Hi,
I have followed the blog for creating a form which allows for searching. I am executing the Find operation on the viewiterator to enter into query mode at the time of launching the form (in pagephaselistener calling managed bean method and the method executes the OperationBinding.execute to execute the find operation). The view does not have any bind variables, It is a simple view on the table with out any mandatory fields. Then I executed "execute" operation using OperationBinding based on an event in the page by entering the query criteria on the page for a textfield. This is working fine and it is returning the matching records for the query criteria. So far it is good.
http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2008/09/jdeveloper-11g-crud-in-adf-form.html
But the problem is when there are mandatory fields. My expectation is to execute the query based on the event in the UI even the mandatory fields are not filled. Let us say If the view object is having 4 mandatory columns and the user enters only 1 column it should perform the query and populate the fields. Could you please sugggest.
The behavior should be some thing similar to Oracle forms enter query and execute query modes for the same form fields.
Thanks and Regards,
S R Prasad

You're hitting a bug. See ADF Faces Classical Search Form works only with Entity base VO in JDev 11? for a workaround suggestion.

Request for Oracle forms & Reports 12c: Free runtime in GlassFish like ADF

a) FREE RUNTIME LICENSE IN GLASSFINS FOR ORACLE FORMS & REPORTS IN GLASSFISH
Hello, we are Oracle Partners and we are using oracle since Oracle 7.3.4.
I remember a beta of Oracle Forms, having the functionality to set properties in all objects, just like Visual Basic, including lines, etc. But that beta was rejected and I see Oracle had leave Oracle Forms as just a database client.
In this moment there is a free light version of ADF.
I will like you think in that possibility.
Think in this, if you want to program a small software, I mean 20,000 U$, and the runtime is 40,000 U$, then this doesn't makes sense.
Oracle is pushing small customers toward Visual Studio,
I think the idea of a free runtime will benefit Oracle in two ways.
For a 20,000 U$ software or less, you but Visual Studio, Sql Server 2012 is enough, not as Oracle, but is enough for that small softwares,
this means if you give a free runtime of oracle forms & reports (like adf is doing)
1) you will win selling development licenses and 2) selling Oracle Standard One licenses.
If you don't do you will lose developement licenses and Oracle will continue losing the small databases market, because this is not like 10 years ago, Sql Server and other databases had improved, and the hardware too .
2) THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LINUX MORE EASY TO INSTALL & AN EASY DESKTOP FOR THAT LINUX
The other point I want to give feedback is linux, it's too related to oracle forms & reports improvements for small business
Is the development of an easier Linux, to use 1) for development 2) for production.
In the same way you don't wait 60 seconds in a normal web page to load, people don't like Linux because is not like Microsoft Windwos or Macintosh; so if Oracle wants to move to people to use linux to use Oracle Forms or Oracle Database, I think Oracle must create a more simple and tested installation for both customers and developers,
- less is more, so the installation must have only what normally is needed.
- you should not need to use command line for most operations, this should be an exception, normal users must do things by themselves.
Thank you for your time

I don't know that it will break things, but I can say that the safest thing to do would be to use separate WLS installations for each product. This may sound like overkill, but each product (ADF, Forms/Reports) have their own idiosyncrasies and requirements with respect to versions and patching, and trying to mix and match them in the same WLS installation is not, in my opinion, something that's worth undertaking.
I have the very setup I describe (separate WLS installations for ADF apps and Forms/Reports apps), and it's working with no problems.

John

Oracle forms vs ADF transaction scopes

In Oracle forms, we tend to build a form for each atomic business function that we want to implement. When we commit or rollback, we are generally affecting this function. In Oracle ADF/BC JSF, we build an application modules that tends to encompass several entities and different pages implementing many different business function. Issue a rollback or commit in ADF affects all the components within this applicatons module. This is making development tendious with respect to catering for controlling CRUD management. For example using a cancel button that rolls back Ins/Upd/Del operation for a specific page is be tricky as a rollback cancels everything. What are best practices with this respect. It would be a waste to create an seperate application module for each what resembles a form!
any ideas
