ADF Swing deploy

I have developed an application using ADF Swing and ADF BC, but he wanted to deploy it in a applications server. I have read that it stops this he should spread the BC like EJB, and then in the layer client to configure so that the DataBinding uses the EJB and not the I application module. I have been able to deploy the BC like EJB, but I cannot configure my client so that it consents to this EJB. Somebody can tell me that I need to make to get this.
Thank you.

Hi,
Yes, I agree we need to update this paper or at least blog about a change in ADF Swing 10.1.3 that is needed for AM pooling support. Here is what you need to know:
In order to run ADF Swing in batch mode you must have a "Server side configuration". This configuration is used by server side of the application, i.e. by BC EJB running in oc4j context to do am pooling, which in this case is called "remote am pooling" .
This configuration is called AppModuleLocal1. Actually from ADF BC point of view it is local, hence it is used in the same jvm where ADF BC are running.
There two places where you can create this "Server side configuration" (named as AppModuleLocal1) in one of two places:
1) on the Remote tab of AM Editor when you shuttle EJB Session Bean
to the right.
2) on step 3 of "Create Business Components Deployment Profiles" wizard.
To create it:
At the bottom of "EJB Session Bean" panel see "Local Configurations" dropdown and the "New" button close to it. Click the button.
Let me know if this works

ADF Swing Deployment problem

Hi,
I have an ADF Swing project completed.
I can run my application from Jdeveloper 10.1.3.3 successfully.
Now we are ready to go to production.
I want to generate a simple JAR file which can be called like - java -jar MyApp.jar
To generate MyApp.jar:
1) I have created a new group in the deployment profile file and specify to add the Manifest.
2) I added all the jars found in my application log file (the logs when jdev run my app.).
3) I Specify the full path to my MainForm.class
4) I have added all my classes
5) Finally I generated to JAR from jdeveloper
6) I copied the MyApp.jar into the JDK\bin folder of my Jdeveloper (to avoid potential java version conflict)
Problem: When I try to run my app from the JDK\bin folder with java -jar MyApp.jar, I got the error Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: .....
My question is : Does anybody either successed in deploying an ADF Swing application using Jdeveloper. If yes, how?
I have read dozen of articles from this forum, nobody seemed to successed deploying ADF Swing application.
Thanks.

Gentlmen, thank very much.
I have made a big progress.
First, I have deploy a simple form based on Steve's scenario. It works fine. I learn from this the role of each type of File Group in a deployment profile.
I also read and dowload the following show case http://verveja.footsteps.be/~verveja/files/oracle/JarStuffThread615655-v0.01.zip
It works fine. I get how to include an external jar in my deployment file.
However, I am still having a small problem with my generated JAR.
In fact my workspace has 3 projects.
1- AppUtils.jpr contains my utility classes (date utilities, system constants, etc.)
2- Model.jpr contains BC entities, views objects and the AppModule.
3- View.jpr where my forms and panels are.
All those 3 projects are in the same workspace, which is slightly diffrent from the example of the show case above.
I created a deployment profile and add two File Groups:
- The first group is simple "Packaging" group and I check all utilities classes required in my application.
- The second one is a "Dependency Analysis" group following process described by Steve.
When I generate and run MyApp.jar, I get error [b]JBO-30003: The application pool (full.path.AppModuleLocal) failed to checkout an application.
Since yesterday I was struggling with this. I am not able to understand why this message.
My AppModule is well configured with credentials to connect to the target database. I tested it and it is ok.
I can run the application from within Jdeveloper without trouble.
Once again, I need your help.
Thank in advance.

Deploying a BC4/ADF Swing Application to a JAR File

Hello,
what do I exactly have to do, to deploy an ADF/Swing/Business Components-
Project-Application to a JAR File. I can not start it outside the JDevloper IDE,
but I created a deployment profile and deployed it to a JAR.
There is always the error "Could not find the main class", when starting the
JAR. In the JDeveloper IDE the application is running, and I also defined a "main class" there.
Could anybody help me please?
Greetings.

You need the ADF runtime libraries in your classpath or as part of your JAR.
Have a look at the command that JDeveloper is using to run your project (it is in the log window) and copy the classpath defenition provided there to the command line you use.

JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 ADF Swing - Images not rendering after deployment

Hi,
I have deployed my ADF Swing application in production in very simple 2 tiers architecture.
One executal jar on my desktop and
The database running on a Linux server.
When I run MyApp.jar from my desktop, none of my images is rendered and LOV buttons do NOT work.
The same application runs against the same dabase from Jedev environment shows images and LOVs work fine.
Thank for your your help.

I suppose that you use Java WebStart to deploy your application.
The issue might be that you're using absolute path to load images into the application (c:\something\something.jpg). When you start your app in webstart, it doesn't allow the application the acces to the disk using absolute path. Even if it did, you wouldn't find your images in the same folder as they are on your disk.
You should load images like this:
ImageIcon icon=new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("images/something.jpg"));
This presumes that you store all your images in "images" package (folder).
You can read more here:

Can Swing/ADF directly deploy on application server?

Hi,
After creation of Swing/ADF rich client in JDevelopment, is there any way to deploy this as a WAR file on application server or this ADF option is only for direct client/server mode deployment?

Hi All,
I am also interested in ADF Swing and ADF BC in 3-tier setup. I tried a couple times as mentioned above. It worked fine all the way to the EJB model deployment. The first time I tried to test the AppModule, it showed 3 configurations, one for AppModuleLocal, one for AppModuleEmbeddedAS ,and one for the AS that I deployed on. It seems to work fine as I got data on the test. The second time I tried it, only one configuration available and which was the AppModuleLocal. I did not change a thing during those tests. Would like to get some help on it.
Then I skipped the testing and moved on to create the front end. Then I noticed that the DataBindings.cpx was using the right AppModule with the configuration that point to the AppModuleLocal cogifuration file. Since I deployed the model to a different server, I tried to change it to the AS configuration that I depolyed. But the combo box only contain the AppModuleLocal configuration. That I don't understand again. Do you guys try the 3-tier model on local OC4J only or on Oracle AS as well?
Thanks
Keith

ADF BC in ADF Swing application(global datasource connection)

Hi all!
I have ADF-Swing based application.
I have a standalone Weblogic server and global datasource (for example, name of datasource hrGlobal)
I want to use this datasource(hrGlobal) in my application module. All my entities and views must connect into the database, using this datasource.
The question is, how can I declare this remote connection in connections.xml, for using him in Application Module?
In forum or in documentation a can't find the answer for this question. So, any help is welcome:)
Thank you all for responses.
PS. JDeveloper version is 11.1.1.3
WLS version is 10.3.3

Thank you for links. Also, I found very useful link http://suns1988.blogspot.com/2011/02/adf-desktop-application.html
So, I had deployed application on WLS. Ear size is 95 MB with folder adfjars, that includes many jar libraries.
Now I'm trying to run WebStart file, but get an error "com.sun.deploy.net.JARSigningException: Found unsigned entry in resource: http://myurl:myport/testWebStart/adfjars/xmlparserv2.jar".
Can you help me, please?
And the 2-d question is about libraries in folder "adfjars": Can I share this libraries on WLS, than not to deploy each time in Ear archive?

ADF/Swing/JClient application migration problem from 10.1.3.5 to 11.1.1.3

Hi,
I am migrating an application from JDev 10.1.3.5 to 11.1.1.3 in order to deploy it to a java 1.6 JVM which is only certified with JDev 11.1.1.3
No matter what I do the DataBindings.cpx file content is emptied by the IDE, the migration was successful => no errors displayed.
I tried to solve the problem by doing the following but the file stays empty:
1) the removing the project from the application and adding it again, migration is done again => FILE EMPTY
2) adding manually the content in the source file then running XML validation => no errors, I close the file, reopen it and EMPTY AGAIN!
Your is needed and will be appreciated!
Thanks
Fred

Ok it seems I have resolved my problem see end of thread
Still have following relevant question for an Oracle team member:
Why is my <pageMap/> empty in my migrated application cpx file?
=> when I create a new ADF Swing application this tag is not empty:
in new file:
<pageMap>
<page path="view.PanelPhotolabVO1" usageId="view_PanelPhotolabVO1PageDef"/>
</pageMap>
<pageDefinitionUsages>
<page id="view_PanelPhotolabVO1PageDef"

in migrated file:
<pageMap/>
<pageDefinitionUsages>
<page id="PanelWeventEditParamVO1UIModel"
path="com.photoswing.view.web.PanelWeventEditParamVO1UIModel"/>
Solution to empty migrated cpx file:
It seems the migration utility couldn't cope with the BC4JDataControl definitions, so I edited them manually.
Example of 10.1.3... syntax:
<dataControlUsages>
<BC4JDataControl Configuration="BaseTablesAMLocal"

Do this editing outside JDev with ide closed to avoid crashing it.

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?

Cann't launch the ADF Swing Project

Hello,
I have created java-application(swing,adf bc) in Jdev10.1.3, and created the Java Web Start(JNLP) files for the application ,run ant target: sign. it created all files ,build ok.
but when I run the local.html in the Jdev1013, it open IE window, then I clicke the Launch JClient Link and it asks me to download the local.jsp file or open the file.
If I download , the file "local.jsp.jnlp" would be saved, if I open, it display beblow:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Big5" ?>

Maybe that is jdev1013 bug.
Anyone know the reason or how to deal with the error ?

Hi,
you are mixing releases here. You start with JClient in JDeveloper 10.1.2 and end up with ADF Swing in 10.1.3. Now what is the release you have the problem with. For 10.1.2 we have a whitepaper explaining how to use Java WebStart. We didn't upgrade this paper for 10.1.3, but I get Web Start deployment working when i tried it last time in JDeveloper 10.1.3.
Note that no file should be downloaded to teh client and instead the JSP file should be executed to generate the JNLP file

Adf swing form login problem (Frank, look at this please)

Hi All. I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3
Can anybody please give me a clue on how to create a simple stand alone adf swing form with a login dialog and the oracle jaas authentication?
For me this kind af appllications works well only in design time :(. When i try to launch my generated .jar application the login dialog does appear but the authentication
doesn't work "incorrect username or password".
So i think i followed all the instructions from jDeveloper online help concerned with generating a login dialog... but my application still doesn't work properly after deployment.
Please somebody look at what i've done and tell what is wrong.
1. I created an adf swing form with a login dialog.
2. I set the jbo.security.enforce property for my application module to Must.
3. I added to my application a dialog for adding, removing and modifying application users via oracle.security.jazn api.
4 I tested my appllication in Jdeveloper. It works great! I even added a number of application specific default users via my application.
5. I assured myself that the oc4j security library has been added into the adf/swing project as well as into the deployment profile.
6. I deployed my apllication to a .jar file.
7. I created "config" folder inside the directory where the.jar file has been dropped. I copied there the following files: jazn.xml and system-jazn-data.xml (the last one file includes all my previously created principals) from /jdev_home/j2ee/home/config.
8. Now when i start the application the login dialog appears as i've mentioned but authentication doesn't work.
I found only one similar topic over the whole forum:
http://kr.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=665430
but what i've done seems to meet all Frank's advices.....
Oracle staff please dont ignore my post.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, rob nice to learn that i'm not the only one stumbled over this issue.
Hope that this question will be finally answered...
...just a few additional comments.
1. It appears that the position of the jazn.xml and jazn-data.xml files pointed in the documentation (config subfolder of the root .jar's folder) is right for if i rename or delete the jazn.xml it runs into the error: jazn configuration file not found, but nevertheless it works strange, it looks like it doesn't use the mentioned files at all....given the fact the i've already spent a number of days experimenting and looking for a solution i learned that after a first startup the files mentioned above (jazn.xml and jazn-data.xml) are modified in some way that prevents using them on another oc4j server instance (if i have i.e. another jdeveloper instance, i cant run and go through authentication in my application by simply coping the old jazn.xml and system-jazn-data.xml files into the /jdev_home/j2ee/home/config
folder...instead i need to copy a pure "initial" jazn.xml file from the initial jdeveloper archive) ... something like the thing mentioned here:
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2007/05/08/jdeveloperadf11gTechnicalPreviewTipsAndTricks.html
also i noticed that if there is no system-jazn-data.xml file in the config folder it is created automatically after a first startup...so when i tried to delete the system-jazn-data.xml file from my deployed application's folder it would't create a new one though it saw the jazn.xml file (since no "jazn configuration file not found" error had ever appeared)...i also tried to place "pure" copies of jazn configuration files in my config subfolder but of course it would give no effect.
2. i also changed the login.module.provider as well as the auth.policy.provider properties in the java.security file as documentation sais - no effect.
So it would be great if Frank gave us a direct link to the white paper he was working on (and i hope had finished :) few years ago....or even better gave me the simpliest example of a finished adf swing application with authentication implemented.
[email protected]
ps. we know it's really really time consuming answering all questions but considering the lack of documentation on adf swing technology i hope we can rely on your help here.
thanks.

10.1.3 ADF Swing New Features Question

One of the 4 new features for ADF Swing in JDeveloper 10.1.3 is stated as:
"ADF Swing
In the past, deploying an ADF Swing application entailed deploying the ADF runtime libraries,
and then packaging and deploying your application class files.
This process has been simplified so that you no longer need to deploy the ADF runtime libraries
as a separate step; instead, they are automatically packaged with your application files."Can someone tell me if this is configurable? For instance, you would rarely want the above to occur if deploying using Java Webstart since it would guarantee a FULL download every time you made a small change to any class. This would basically eliminate versioned or incremental downloads of jar files.
Thanks

Thanks Frank, but your answer is just more confusing.
Here is what the new features document states:
"This process has been simplified so that you no longer need to deploy the ADF runtime libraries
as a separate step; instead, they are automatically packaged with your application files."
Notice the statement in bold.
I would expect that statement to mean that ALL of the ADF classes that are normally contained in their respective jar files will now be "automatically packaged" into MY application jar file, so that I have 1 jar file.
Now looking at your answer:
"If the application class files changed, then only those class files will be jarred and signed. ADF jar files are not signed again."
The statement in bold indicates that the ADF classes will still be contained in their respective jar files. Therefore, can you tell us what "automatically packaged" means in this conext? Normally, I would think it meant packaged inside a jar file, but from your answer, that cannot be correct.
Thanks

ADF Swing LOV problem

Hi,
I created an application using ADF Swing with JDeveloper version 10.1.3.2.0.4066.
I made a form contains JTable and Edit Form which using some LOVs to insert or update data. Something weird happen when user insert data using LOV.
Scenario:
1. firstly, JTable contains some data, let say 5 records.
2. User want to input some new data (the sixth record), then user push (+) button in JUNavigationBar, then one new record is added into JTable
3. User want to edit the new record, then user push Edit button which will display Edit Form
4. User push button which will display LOV to insert the correct record, after selecting a record from LOV then user push OK button from LOV form, then LOV form will be closed.
5. User performing commit to permanently save data to database.
now, the weird part:
6. User want to input the second record, then user push (+) button in JUNavigationBar, then one new record (the seventh record) is added into JTable
7. User want to edit the new record, then user push Edit button which will display Edit Form
8. User push button which will display LOV to insert the correct record, after selecting a record from LOV then user push OK button from LOV form, hoping that LOV form will close but NOT. User need to push OK button twice to make the LOV Form closed.
so that is the weird thing, if user input the third record (the eighth record), then user need to push OK button three times to make the LOV Form being closed, if user input 100 record then user need to push OK button 100 times to close LOV Form. Weird?
but if user close the main form first, then display the form again and input the new record using LOV (the seventh record), the weird thing is not gonna happen.
how I can solve this weird thing?
thanks

below is step by step creation of ADF Form and how the error happened and handled (using Oracle JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0.4157) :
1. create database connection using JDeveloper wizard.
a. supply connection name: dbscott
b. supply username: scott, password: tiger, deploy password is checked.
c. Driver: thin, hostname, JDBC Port, and SID as installed
d. test connection: sucess
2. from JDeveloper, open Application Navigator and then create new application:
a. application name: ScottApp
b. application path: default
c. application package prefix: test.scott
d. application template: [Swing, ADF BC]
e. OK button pushed
3. now, configuring Oracle Business Component:
a. from Model project, right click and select New
b. select ADF business component from business tier and select Business Components from tables on the right pane
c. click OK
d. select dbscott on the connection option. SQL Flavor and Type MAp: default
e. click OK
f. with only object type table is selected, shuttle all table object into selected pane and specify package to test.scott.model.entities
g. click next
h. shuttle all object into selected pane and specify package to test.scott.model.queries
i. click next twice
j. specify application module: ScottModule
k. click next and then finish
4. now, creating ADF Form object
a. on the View Project, right click and select New
b. select ADF Swing on the client tier and empty form on the right pane
c. click OK
d. supply form name: EmpForm, generate menu bar and generate login dialog option is unselected
e. click next and then finish
f. then JDeveloper will display its excellent Swing Editor, select JUNavigationBar on the EmpForm and then delete
g. click form EmpForm and on data Panel specify layout to FormLayout
h. on the FormLayout popo up menu, specify rows to 8 and columns to 3, insert gap is selected, click OK of course.
i. on the data control palette, drag and drop EmpView1 to the first rows and column, then on the Add Child menu select Navigation Bar
j. select NavigationBar, on the blue point, drag to the third column. right click NavigationBar, select Column Properties menu and click grow. then OK
k. on the component palette, select Swing Container, drag and drop JScrollPane to the second row and first column
l. with JScrollPane selected, on the blue point drag JScrollPane so its covers second to seventh row and first to third column
m. right click on JScrollPane, select Row Properties menu and select Grow. click OK then
n. on the Data Controls palette, drag and drop EmpView1 to JScrollPane, on the Add Child menu select table.
5. now, creating ADF Edit Form object:
a. rigth click on the View Object, select New
b. select ADF Swing on the client tier and select Empty Panel on the right pane.
c. Panel name: EditEmpForm, other option default
d. click next and finish
e. then JDeveloper will display EditEmpForm editor
f. on the Data Controls palette, drag and drop EmpView1 to EditEmpForm then select Add Edit Form
g. then Select Contrl window will be displayed. Click new to add LOV for Deptno
h. new attribute will be added on the bottom, change attribute to Deptno and its control to Button LOV. create label option for this attribute is unselected.
i. click OK
j. adjust width and height the new panel created by JDeveloper properly
k. in the Application Navigator, double click PanelEmpView1Helper, supply text for Deptno LOV JButton.
6. configuring Deptno LOV JButton:
a. with LOV JButton is selected, select model in its property inspector, then model window will be displayed
b. LOV Update Attribute Tab is active, in Lov (source) Data Collection Pane, select DeptView1 and click New buttion below to create new iterator, click OK to create new iterator for DeptView1.
c. click add button to add LOV attributes
d. select deptno in the LOV Attributes and select Deptno in the target attributes.
c. select LOV Display Attributes, shuttle all attributes to the right pane.
d. click OK to finish configuring LOV
7. adding EditEmpForm to EmpForm:
a. with Empform is active in the editor, from Application Navigator drag and drop EditEmpForm.java to the last row on the first column of EmpForm.
b. Select Option window will be displayed, select Display Panel in JDialog and Invoke JDialog from Button option is selected
c. then a JButton will be added to last row on the first colum of EmpForm. Adjust this button to be displayed properly
Then the creation of ADF Form is complete. We're able to create this powerful form with NO CUSTOM PROGRAMMING AT ALL, it's all because of Oracle ADF. But wait... we will run this scenario to perform how the error happen.
Assumption, a user want to perform edit and insert data on EmpForm. He will perform following task:
a. Run EmpForm, then the form will be displayed at runtime.
b. The user want to edit data first, so he select a row then click Edit button, then EditEmpForm will be displayed.
c. user edit one or more data, displaying LOV to edit Deptno. at this time, he just need to push OK button at LOV Form once. After completing edit, user close EditEmpForm by clicking OK button, EditEmpForm will be closed.
d. now, user want to insert new record, simply at EmpForm user click (+) button at navigation bar to create new record, user click Edit button to display EditEmpForm, the user filling new information and of course diplaying LOV to select Deptno, now user need to click OK button in LOV form TWICE to be able to close the LOV Form. The user then click OK button to close EditEmpForm and back to EmpForm.
e. The user think that just intermittent error, now he want to update data again. So, he do perfectly the same step before but now he need to click OK button from LOV Form THREE TIMES to close LOV Form. The user then click OK button to close EditEmpForm and back to EmpForm.
f. after thinking hardly why this happened to him, the user then performing commit transaction then close EmpForm and open again.
g. now user perform update data again but this time he just need to click OK button from LOV form once.
The above error will not happened if the user open EditEmpForm just once ! if he close and open again EditEmpForm then he need to click and click OK button from LOV Form as many as he open EditEmpForm.
I don't know why this happen, if something not right from how I create the application which causing this error, please let me know.

ADF Swing and connection pooling

I am using Java Web Start, ADF Swing, ADF Business Components and Oracle database 10g.
My application needs to support 300 users.
Can I use database connection pooling in this configuration?
Any relevant document about this subject? Thanks.

Hi,
only if you would deploy ADF BC as EJB. Otherwise the ADF BC sources are on the client, which means that each client creates its own connection

Problem with "find" mode in adf/swing application

Hi all,
I'm working on ADF Swing application which uses MS SQL Server 2005 (JDeveloper 10g 10.1.3)
I think that my issue might be well-known…sorry if it has been already discussed somewhere else…
I have a problem with the “find” mode for a detail panel in a master-detail form…(To make it clear the “find” mode is switched on when clicking on the special button on a navigation panel).
So this mode works well in a master panel, but it demonstrates strange behavior on a detail panel, i.e. it takes me two attempts to find the necessary child object and it doesn’t switch back in a simple way from this mode to the normal mode….say if we are in the department 10 (Dept is a master form) we can’t simply find KING employee (Emp is a detail form)…is there any workaround for this?
Thanks in advance. Alex.

Hi Frank, please look this issue
