ADF Faces using & pricing

Hello,
I'm using JavaServer Faces now and I'd like to use ADF Faces components - it can make make my development better. The question is about it's pricing - can I use it for free, with any Application Server or Container? My IDE is JDeveloper.
The story is as follows. On the one hand, ADF is not free now, and in the JDeveloper Licence Agreement (when downloading JDeveloper) ADF Faces Components are included with another components: "Components" refers to the following Application Development Framework ("ADF") components of the Programs: ..., ADF Faces Components, .... So it seems that I can't use it for free everywhere.
On the other hand, ADF Faces is open source now (http://oss.oracle.com/trinidad-adf-faces.html), in FAQs (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/faq_adffaces_apache.html) it's written that JDeveloper is a tool to use with ADF Faces, and in JDeveloper & ADF Pricing FAQ (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/jdevpricefaq.html ) it's written in the "How will customers know if they are using Oracle ADF?" section it's written:
You are using Oracle ADF if your system is using one of the following:
* Oracle ADF Business Components (pka Business Components for Java)
* The ADF Model layer (creating data controls from Java components, EJBs, or Web services)
* ADF's data actions or data pages in Struts
* ADF UIX
* ADF Swing (p.k.a JClient)
So, ADF Faces are not mentioned here.
So, how can I use ADF Faces components for free? Download from Apache - Trinidad project? Or I can use those that come with JDeveloper?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
ADF Faces is under the ADF licence and is charged for on any non-Oracle Application server environment. If you deploy on OracleAs then ADF licence is included in teh AS licence.
If you want free components then you need to download Apache Trinidad components. They are open source. You can configure Trinidad for use in Oracle JDeveloper as documented : http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/1013/trinidad/trinidad.html

Panel Page in ADF Faces using Facelets not rendering correctly

Hi, I am attempting to integrate facelets into a web app built using adf faces and am running into a problem with the panel page component. I have integrated facelets and adf faces without any problems by adding relevant jars (jsf-facelets and adf-facelets) to the project and specifying alternate facelets view handler in web.xml.
However, when I try to render any component inside <af:document> or <af:html> tags, all the font style in components seems to be lost ( all the text and input fields turn large and ugly!).
I tried to leave out the <af:document> tag and put the <f:view> inside some vanilla html instead, but then panelPage component dosen't render properly and I get following message on top of page :
"Skip navigation elements to page contents"
So seem to be in a bit of a catch 22. By the way, this all works fine if I don't use facelets (remove the facelets view handler from web.xml and page renders correctly).
Does anyone have any ideas or examples of panelPage rendering correctly with facelets or an alternative to using adf faces html tags that will allow panelpage to be displayed?
The following is the code from a simple test jspx page :
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='windows-1252'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.0"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"

xmlns:afh="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/html"
xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces"

<af:panelGroup layout="vertical">

<af:inputText id="lo_username" value="" columns="20"/>
<af:objectSpacer width="1" height="10"/>

<af:outputLabel value="Please use your windows account username"/>
<af:outputLabel value="and password to logon to the system"/>
<af:objectSpacer width="1" height="50"/>
</af:panelGroup>
</af:panelHorizontal>
</af:panelPage>
</af:form>
</af:document>
</f:view>
</jsp:root>

The problem was the <jsp:root> tag. Removed this tag and modified <af:document> to the following so that namespaces are declared :
<af:document xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces"
xmlns:afh="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
Page now renders properly using facelets.

Help required building ADF-Swing/ADF-Faces using ADF Business Components

My question is in regards to how you can go about building a light swing application to an ADF model?
In particular if I were to say that we were developing a 3-tier project whereby we had a database tier, a series of EJB-ADF façade session beans to the database (middle-tier), and a swing client communicating with the session beans (view-controller tier), how would you go about developing these screens?
In particular can we develop these screens using ADF-Faces and also ADF-Swing?
The EJB session façade beans of course are ADF app modules with customised methods. The methods would return back customised DTO objects. These DTO objects are wrappers to row objects ADF would create. This would be mainly due to making these facade beans web service enabled (Oracle state that these methods cannot return oracle.jbo objects if they are to be web service enabled).
This would be typically deployed to an app server, like Oracle App Server 10G.
Could you please have a look at this, as I am doing a lot of research into this.
eg. Taking example from oracle magazine sept/oct 2006
with slight enhancements
package oramag.frameworks.example.common;
import oracle.jbo.ApplicationModule;
import oramag.frameworks.customdto.EmployeeDTO;
public interface HRService extends ApplicationModule {
void deleteCurrentEmpAndCommit();
EmployeeDTO findEmployee(int employeeId); // new method
import oramag.frameworks.customdto.EmployeeDTO;
public class HRServiceImpl extends ApplicationModuleImpl {
public void deleteCurrentEmpAndCommit() {
Row empRow = getEmpView().getCurrentRow();
if (empRow != null) {
empRow.remove();
getDBTransaction().commit();
public EmployeeDTO findEmployee(int employeeId)() {
EmployeeDTO employeeDTO = null;
EmployeesImpl employees = getEmployees();
employees.setNamedWhereClauseParam("EmployeeId", employeeId);
employees.executeQuery();
if(employees.hasNext()) {
EmployeesRowImpl employee = (EmployeesRowImpl)employees.next();
employeeDTO = new EmployeeDTO(employee);
return employeeDTO;
public EmployeesImpl getEmployees() {
return (EmployeesImpl)findViewObject("Employees");
Now given the above code snippet, how could you turn this into an ADF-Swing/ADF Faces application so that if a user using the swing application enters an employee id, then the application will execute the query on the app server, the app server in turn returns the results to the client, and the client finally display the results. Typical MVC example.
Cheers
Rodney

The tutorial is for ADF BC used with JavaServer Faces.
While the tutorial doesn't cover it, we also support drag and drop development for Swing and visual WYSIWYG layout for Swing panels and windows, too. For a very simple example, watch screencast #4 on my blog here:
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2005/06/24/jdeveloperAdfScreencasts.html
One thing I have noticed is that when using ADF business components, when the app module returns a custom DTO object like the above example, it returns the data in a element structure according to the data control palette.
You don't generally ever need to create your own custom DTO's when working with ADF for use by client UI's. The only situation where can be necessary -- until we simplify this in the JDeveloper/ADF 11g release -- is when you desire to expose custom methods that can return sets/arrays of typed row structures through a web service. However, web services are not involved/required in building 3-tier Swing applications.
When dropping onto a page it does so like a string and doesnt give option to display the data in a read only form etc. Is there anything we need to do, to get the functionality.
It's more of what you don't need to do :-)
Just leverage the active data model that the ADF application module provides. You can read more about it in section 4.5 "Understanding the Active Data Model" of the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers on the ADF Learning Center at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/learnadf.html). Your UI's bind to view object instances in the data model, and your UI's are automatically kept up to date without needing to write methods that return data. I short article I wrote that preceeded my writing the ADF Developer Guide content on this topis is here:
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2006/01/26/theAdfBusinessComponentsActiveDataModel.html
I know that when dropping a view object you get this functionality. Also was wondering if we were to pass an object of thios type back to the model it might not give us the rich functionality like input forms, like what Oracle provides if we were to drop a enitity view object.
Just use the active data model and everything becomes totally easy, with no changes required to switch between local or three-tier deployment configurations.
Trying to do everything with hand-coded DTO beans is really going the hard way.
Could you help us regarding this?

ADF faces use cases

Hi
I recently encountered this uses case wherein i had to delay the validation until commit time as outlined here
http://jobinesh.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-to-skip-validation.html
I am just wundering is there a ADF faces document that outlines such use cases and the ways to tackle them.
regards

Hrishy,
Well, there is the documentation, particularly the Fusion Developer's Guide. There's lots of blogs and articles on OTN. There's some books just out. If you have a specific question, perhaps someone can direct you with a more specific answer.
Best,
John

ADF Faces - Using ProgressIndicator Component as a Process Indicator

Hi, I'm working on JDeveloper 10.1.3.2.0 and I'd like to know if there is an example anywhere for the next case:
I have 2 jspx pages: one is a form with search fields. The other one is a table with the results of the search.
I made some tests with both Poll and ProgressIndicator so that, when the user clicks the "Search Button", the clock of the ProgressIndicator component appears (just the clock) and, when the search is over, the application redirects you to the results page.
I had to use javascript and I almost got it, but there's a problem. Once you're in the results page, if you click the "Back" button of the browser, the clock appears as if you're requesting the search again (but you're not, of course)
Do you know if there is a simpler way to achieve this solving this last problem and without javascript code?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
you can use the JavaScript on the target page in an onLoad statement to delete the browser history. This way the back button doesn't work at all. I received a mail from another customer who did it that way

Customizing ADF Faces Look & Feel. Some questions & suggestions

Hi everybody,
We are developing an application with ADF Faces using JHeadStart. For the moment, I am studying the way we must modify the JHS templates to adapt each element to our needs.
As it's told in the JHeadStart Developer's Guide, there are two ways to customize Look & Feel:
1) Modifying the templates
2) ADF Skinning
I'm using both methods, but I feel that thay are not good enough to adapt the L&F to our customer requirements.
My main problem now is in the ADF Table customization. I want to use ADF Table because it offers us a lot of features that are not in the jsf table (the selection column, the table overflow...), and is very usefull combined with the generated JHS code. But at the same time, it doesn't offer a lot of functionality in the look & feel customization. Using JSF Table, I can set the CSS style for headers, rows, columns, the table, I can set the border, cellspacing and cellpadding. But I cannot do
any of these thing (or at least, I don't see how) with the ADF Table.
Our customer (a government) have a strict definition of the look & feel of his web applications. They want we use their CSS styles definition file, so they can modify at once the Look & Feel of all their applications. Modifying the L&F through skinning generate other styles, not use the style classes in our CSS (o so I think).
So, the questions:
1) There is any way to set the suitable styles for the ADF Table components (headers, rows)?
1bis) Why, If I have defined a new skin, with only just a few selectors, some styles from oracle are applied? Maybe because the render kit in the 'adf-skins.xml' is "oracle.adf.desktop"? If it is true, how can I make that they are not used, I must implement a render kit or can I use another existent?
2) Can I decide how looks the select column (for example a button instead of a radio button)? Can I decide where does it goes (right or left)?
3) There is any way to hidden the text Show/Hide of the showDetail in the table (the tableOverflow), as I can change the icons through skinning? If it is not possible, How can I overwrite the text. I need it in Catalan, but it is shown in English for this locale. Where is the message bundle I should overwrite?
4) There is any way to force a tree to start fully expanded?
5) There is anywhere documentation about the javascript functions used in ADF and their meaning? I think for example in the previous question. If I knew which javascript function I should call for expand the tree and its parameters, I could put the call in the onload event of the body.
6) I use a selectInputDate. I have skinned the launch-icon, and I would like to do a similar thing in the chooseDate that is opened in a new window. But It seems not to be affected for my skinning directives (if I put a chooseDate in the same page, its L&F follow the skinning rules I've defined). I don't know if this dialog is an ADF feature or a JHS generated feature.
7) There is any way to keep unmodified the id I've choosed for a component? (I mean, an inputText with id="hello" in a form with id="form" will have in the HTML an id = "form:hello", but I would like it to be simply 'hello')
8) How can I control the position and the size of a dialog (the chooseDate dialog or a dialog I've created)? In the cases I've been testing, it seems the dialog is forced to resize depending on the content. I would like to know if I can establish a fixed size.
9) There is any way to open a non-modal dialog? (which I could keep open at the same time that another instance of the same dialog)
For the moment, I think I have no more question. But give me time.... :-D
The suggestion I've to do is basically more flexible components for a better customization (for example, the styles settings I've talked about previously). ADF components are nice and powerful, but I think they should generate pages that follow the tendencies in the web development: tableless pages (I cannot understand the utility of the objectSpacer existing the margins), use of CSS for layout...
Any answer, comment or suggestion will be welcome.
Carles.

I have been able to make the UIX 2.2 and ADF Faces LAF look near identical by updating the oracle-desktop.xss file within UIX 2.2 as follows

<style name="DarkAccentBackground">

<property name="background-color">#d2d8b0</property>
</style>
There are still some differences:
1) A black line appears on the ADF Faces on the 'menu1' facet selected tab below the text. DON'T KNOW HOW TO REMOVE THIS FROM ADF Faces or add it to UIX 2.2!!!
2) In UIX 2.2 a bulleted list uses the HTML <li> tag. In ADF Faces it doesn't use the HTML <li> tag rather it constructs the bulleted list using lower level HTML tags with the 'bullet' becoming an image, in my browser this means the disc is smaller in Faces. The motivation for this change I think is explained via this post. Since I have no control over how this specific HTML tag is rendered it forces me to replace the /adf/images/bltdscn.gif file in adf-faces-impl.jar with a larger disc!

May update this again if there are other things I notice.

Information about adf data model's state management in JSF/ADF faces?

Dear All,
i am developing an application with JSF/ADF faces + using
adf data model (EJB, not adf bc)...
i want to know more about state management of adf data model..
1. under what condition, will the data in the binding context
(methodIterator, variableIterator, accessorIterator..etc) be maintained accross
http requests? say browse pageA.jspx, pageB.jspx, pageC.jspx..then do data
in the corresponding pages saved somewhere else until session timeout?
2. how do the binding context data be saved ?? http session?
i can't find detail information in the adf bc dev guide and the adf dev guide..
could anyone give me more information about this?? any better document??
i have asked these question several times...but seem nobody can give me a
full picture about the adf data model's state management....it is quite important
in order to develop good application using adf data model.
my company have brought oracle's support service...can i get these information
through metalink (open a SR) ?? or actually no such information available ??
btw, after playing with adf data model for a few weeks, i do find it is very
hard to learn it... no complete document, information is just by providing example...
adf data model do make:
1. simple logic, supported by adf, more simple in coding
2. simple logic, not supported by adf, more complex in coding
3. complex logic, much more complex in coding...brain damage..
lsp

Hi,
actually, these pages don't explain the state management about the adf data model's iterators?
i want to know the state management of the iterators...for some iterators..it's
state is maintained across requests...
please see my previous post: ADF JSF data binding: why state maintained between requests? that Frank Nimphius said:
"in this case its the iterator that survives the page navigation"...
in the adf dev guide..section 5.5.5..it says: "Upon each request, the iterator bindings are refreshed to rebind them to the
underlying RowSetIterator objects. By default, the rowset iterator state and the
data caches are maintained between requests."
in dev guide, it seems state is maintained for request for the same page, but not
accross different pages. but in fact, the rowset iterator do survive...
any detail document that write down the actual behavior of the iterators?
thank you.
lsp

What version of ADF Faces is this? ADF Faces used to show this behavior in some circumstances when trying to sort an empty table - but that bug has been fixed.
The "no more ADF pages work" sounds like an issue with JSP tag reuse in OC4J; if you look at the web.xml in the ADF Faces demo .war, you'll see a commented-out <servlet> region that works around that issue by disabling tag reuse.

Forms vs UIX/ADF Faces ?

Hi,
We are considering to migrate Forms application into J2EE Web Apps (UIX or ADF Faces), using JHeadStart as rapid dev tool.
Does any body know, how is the UIX/ADF Faces performance compared to Forms, provided they are deployed on same IAS and network specification and bandwidth ?
Is it true that UIX/ADF Faces will need smaller bandwidth than Forms ?
Or are there any other reason that will justify us to migrate Forms into J2EE Web app ?
Thank you for your help,
xtanto

do not duplicate your question so much times...

Hi there,
I had the same issue last friday.
It's probably because you are using JDeveloper 10.1.3.2 instead of 10.1.3.0 or 10.1.3.1 for which the example is made.
I haven't been able to fix this yet, other then by commenting out the this part of the css.

How to Redirect to another page Using JavaScript in ADF Faces?

Hi Guys,
I have a UI user case that has a af:menu which contains mutiple af:goMenuItem. When user click on the menu, the menu slides down and shows up the af:goMenuItem. As we know, you could define the page destinations in af:goMenuItem to go to another page when user clicked, but af:menu itself cannot be redirected to another page. Well, the user case wants the menu itself could be redirected if user click on it.
So I am thinking using JavaScript to do this: when the af:menu gets clicked, redirect to another page. BUT, I looked over the ADF Faces Javascript API and was not able to find that piece of code to do this. Any help???
Another work around for the user case scenario is to use HTML marks + CSS/JavaScript instead of af:menu and af:goMenuItem but this changes the scope of technology although it's not hard to do
Any other idea to accomplish the user case other than what I could think of ?
Thanks Guys!
Jay

Hi,
1 - you can have a hidden command item to do the navigation based on a control flow case. In this case, you access the command component from JavaScript create a new ActionEvent and queue it
2 - JavaScript can use an af:serverListener to call into a server side managed bean method to perform the navigation
there is no JavaScript API for navigation in ADF Faces because navigation in JavaServer Faces is an event driven framework and we don't support developers fighting the framework.

Validation messages in JSF (when not using ADF faces)

I've spent some time with JDeveloper 11 and would like to use it on an upcoming project. I have to target IE 6, so I won't be able to take advantage of ADF Faces. Instead I'd like to use the ADF Business Components with a standard JSF interface so it can be used by people still running IE 6.
I've created a Business Component from a database table and can bind a JSF HTML Creation Form by dragging the appropriate view from the AppModule in the Data Controls pane. However, when I attempt to submit the page without all the fields being valid I get the following validation error message:
j_id__ctru2:j_id__ctru6: Validation Error: Value is required. j_id__ctru2:j_id__ctru6: Validation Error: Value is required.
I've tried making this more descriptive, but editing the error message in the Validation Rules section of the Business Component has no effect. What's the best way to convey a meaningful validation message to the user when not using ADF Faces?
Also - I'm still very new to JDeveloper. Since I won't be able to rely on my users having Internet Explorer 7, would you recommend I stay with JDeveloper 10? The examples and documentation I've seen so far for JDeveloper 11 appear heavily biased towards using ADF Faces so I'm starting to wonder how much support is there for using plain old JSF.
Thanks for your time!

Hi,
if you are completely new to this then I suggest to use JDeveloper 10.1.3 and ADF Faces in there. Its good to use with IE6 as well. Currently we do have more tutorials available for this release than for 11, which for this reason is a better choice for someone new to this

ADF Faces Application without using JDeveloper/TopLink/BC4J

Hi,
I want to make a small database driven application using ADF Faces Components without any hlp of JDeveloper, BC4J or Toplink.
I could not see any document/ sample application which demonstrates creating J2EE application with ADF Faces by avoiding OC4J, JDeveloper IDE & TOPLINK.

Hi, any luck trying to use adf faces in another IDE besides Jdeveloper?? Please let me know ;)
thanx.

Weblogic Portal 10.3.5 using JSF 1.2 portlets with ADF faces

We are developing Portal site using Weblogic Portal 10.3.5 with JSF portlet 1.2 and ADF faces (ADF Application runtime 11.1.1.5 ). But the JSF portlets not supporting ADF faces. Please let me know how we use ADF faces in JSF portlet 1.2 in Weblogic Portal.

Hi Murthy,
We did a detailed analysis.
(1) How do we add ADF taskflows, JSF in to weblogic portal desktop/pages? Do we create portlet out of JSF, and display on desktop/page? If this is the case, what about ADf task flows?
--> Taskflows can be deployed as WSRP2.0 portlets. Note 2 options are there JSF page as portlet or taskflow itself as portlets.
(2) How do we integrate weblogic user profiles and UUP (unified user profiles) with ADF and JSF?
--> ADF Security can use Weblogic Server realm as the security provider. Entitlements in WLP will have to be provided based on Weblogic Server roles. In case you are using external LDAP then both can be integrated withe external LDAP
(3) Can anybody shed some light which this better?
(a) weblogic portal with JPF (Java page flows), NetUI --Legacy approach
Pros:
-Easy Development
-Well tested integrated
Cons:
-Future support
-Enhancements may not be available
-Not really portable or standards based
(b) weblogic portal with ADF, JSF?
Pros:
-If your on Oracle stack then great
-Standards based
Cons:
-JSF Portlet bridge issues
-ADF Faces does not work on IE6!
Well what we are going for is JSR 286, Trinidad components (Supports IE6), JSF.
Difficult choice.

How to use JavaScript Calendar with ADF Faces ?

Hi All,
Our application is running under limited bandwidth so that we want to use clientside/javascript calendar instead of the ADF Faces calendar (server side).
I already have the javascript that will pop-up calendar selection dialog when invoked.
Using JSP, this is working perfectly, BUT I don't know how to integrate this Javascript calendar with ADF Faces form.
How can I do that ?
Attached below is the JSP that works with script :
<f:view>
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript" src="ts_picker.js">
</script>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"/>
<title>Calendar</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name="tstest">
<input type="Text" name="timestamp" value="">
<img src="cal.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="Click here to get the date">
</form>
<h:form>
</h:form>
</body>
</html>
</f:view>

Hi,
ADF Faces does not provide a method that allows you to call JavaScript on the client. This may change in upcoming versions
