How to deploy ADF Application

Question

Based on my understanding it looks like ADF components are tightly coupled with Database Tables.
In this case how do i deploy an application from DEV -- > QA -- STAGING --> PROD
With less modification, Do we have any document that will explain the deployment procedure.
Thanks

The easiest way to do this would probably be to set up a JDBC datasource on each application server. The JDBC datasources should have the same name and JNDI location on all three app servers, but should each contain different connection information (one to your DEV database, one to TEST, and one to PROD).
Then, you can configure your application to use JDBC datasources:
1. Right-click you application module and select Configurations.
2. Edit the configuration you want to use (if you don't have multiple configs, editing the default one is probably fine).
3. Change the Connection Type to JDBC Datasource, and enter your datasource's "location" property.
Note that, if you do this, you won't be able to run the application in JDev unless you also set up a datasource in your embedded server. That's a more complicated procedure, but I think there's a how-to document on it somewhere on OTN.
