How to merge ADF Applications

Hi everybody,
I have 3 separated ADF little applications which I'd like to merge into one.
What are the best practises to do that?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Jose.

You have multiple options. You can leave the applications as application and use a master application which shown the others inside e.g. an iframe. This is called Pillar architecture. However, you have to implement SSO as the user otherwise needs to logon into each application again. Then you have to think about the state of the applications and how to handle e.g. uncommited data.
Another way would be to create adflibs from the model projects and the view controller projects. If the applications UI is implemented mostly in task flows the resulting adflibs are reusable in your master application. This is Shay's approach. The architechutre behind this would be 'sum of the parts'.

Forgot the merge the code into one application option. If your apps are really small you might think about this too. Merging the model projects is simple if you had used different class path. Merging the UI can be a challange as the pagedef and other meta data can't be copied. You have to do this by hand (or rebind all components).

How to use ADF application functionality in Webcenter Portal

Hi,
We have an separate ADF application with bunch of functionality that are been using in others applications.We have to use these functionality in the WebCenter portal.
In this ADF application, each jspx page used for implementing different functionality(for example Calendar for one page, subscriptions for one page like that) and there are no bounded task flow used.
Challenge here is, need to some how import the ADF application as reusable component (section) and yet to use different functionality (I mean accessing each jspx page)
So, what are the ways we can utilize these ADF functionality in WebCenter portal? Let me know your thoughts?
Any help really appreciated.
Thanks,
San.

All,
if you have WebCenter in place the best way is to use the ADF portlet bridge. You can create portlet entries at design time in JDev on each JSPX as well as on any TaskFlow definition (right click as mentioned above). That's quite convenient if you stay in the WebCenter / ADF world. You'll get the standalone as well as the portletized application so the standalone version will still be working. Mind that if you portletize an ADF Application you need to deploy it in a portlet runtime. That means you need to extend your ADF container with the portlet runtime. That requires a WebCenter license for the server since the portlet runtime is a part of the WebCenter product stack.
In respect of SSO, after deploying your Portlet Producer App you'll get WSRP Webservices on application level for which you can apply OWSM policies (Enterprise Manager) so the identity of the portal will be propagated to the Portlet Producer App. Details can be found on WebCenter Portal Developer's Guide.
Just to let you know that these portlets can be only consumed on Oracle's portals (be that WebCenter or Oracle Portal 11g). That's caused by some Oracle specific WSRP additions to the ADFPortlet Bridge.
Jiri, what do you mean with "enhance it with portal features"? Oracle's portlet aproach is fully based on WSRP, means decoupling. So you cannot add portal features to the portlet. Everything has to be packed in request and response. There's no direct access to portal /portlet resources to interact with.

How to browse ADF Application page by user

Hi, i am ali & just i want to know, how to access ADF Application page by user through browser
Edited by: user13367653 on Jan 17, 2012 5:20 AM

Ali,
Welcome to the forum. Please take a bit of time and tell us which jdev version you are using.
It's helpful to read https://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=56 before posting.
You question is not clear, so we can't relay answer it. Where would you like to access the adf application? On the integrated server or a stand alone server?

How to configure ADF application to use OAM Identity Assertion ? web.xml

We have a web application developed using ADF (application development framework) and deployed on WebCenter 11.1.1.2 (weblogic 10.3.2)
OID Authentication and OAM identity assertion is configured in WebLogic 10.3.2 .
How to configure security in ADF application (web.xml or weblogic.xml) so that it uses OAM identity assertion (already configured as authentication providers in weblogic server)
Any pointers or documentation so that application (developed using ADF) check for identity tocken and verifies it with one of identity assertion providers.

John,
I have to concur. With OAM you don't need this. OAM intercepts the calls and inserts a cookie for WLS to get user information from.
I strongly advise to go through the above mention OFM Security Guide. Esp. Chapter 10 tells you in every detail how to implement OAM SSO with WLS (with or without OHS as a proxy).
Reading this chapter saves you time and turnarounds on this topic...

How to deploy ADF applications in Oracle apps

Hi,
I just gone thru demos on ADF rich client applications using jdeveloper 11g.My doubt is how to deploy and use these from oracle apps.Is ADF supported in R12.If yes then could anybody provide me steps to deploy code at unix file system and how to create form functions for accessing jspx pages?
I know that in OAF, we can deploy server components at $OA_java and PG.xml files using xml importer and we can create form functions for PG.xml files.Similarly what are the steps to deploy and access ADF applications thru oracle apps.
Thanks,
ashok

ADF Rich Client Components need a newer server than the one that comes with Apps R12.
So what you'll need to do is have a separate WebLogic 10.3 server where you deploy the ADF Rich Client Applications.
You can call them from your Apps by customizing your current apps and adding a button or link that just calls the URL where your ADF apps are.

How to protect ADF Application Source code

Hi,
There is an ADF Application which needs to be given to a client. The client will deploy the application.
How do i protect the source code giving to the someone from the ADF application. ?

An ear file don't need to contain java source files, but is can.
Sure you can create an ear without the source files. You define what goes into the ear yourself (source files are normally not included). The deployment descriptor you used to create the ear defines what file (contributors) are in the ear. Check the applications deployment descriptor and change it in a way that the sources are not included.

How to invoke ADF application URL from OAF?

Hi guru's,
We have a developed a custom ADF application using Fusion Middleware 11g.
We would like to integrate this ADF with existing EBS/OAF application.
We were able to invoke ADF URL from EBS responsibility with a special function type "ADFx" in R12.1.3.
Now we need to pass context/profile level parameters from EBS to external ADF application. Like logged in userId/RespId etc...
We are running ADF application also in same EBS DB and hence want to use same fnd_user/Resp concept in ADF.
Can anyone help me on how to pass these parameters like userId/RespId from EBS to ADF while invoking ADF application URL?
If we can append the values to ADF URL, we would be bale to parse them in ADF context. But, i am stuck at passing parameters from EBS.
How Can we invoke ADF URL from OAF page? is there any specific function available or is it just URL invoke?
Also, in OAF the logged in user session information is maintained in cookies(if i am correct), is there any way that we can pass the session level values from OAF to ADF?
Any help in this regard would be a great help!!!
Thanks

May be the following link will help you ->

How to Merge ADF Table Column Header in ADF Table ?

Hi All,
We need to have ADF Table Column header to be "Merged",
e.g :
There are two columns Header : | Qty (Case) | Qty (Pack) |,
can we customize it to display like this :
| ----- Qty -------|
| Case | Pack |
where there are two rows in column header, the first one is "Merged".
How can we do that ?
Thank you very much,
xtanto

Hi Kelly,
Thank you for your reply,
Using Column Faced, Header I can format the header of one column Only.
My requirement is to Merge header of two colums :
| ----- Qty -------|
| Case | Pack |
'Case' &'Pack' is two different column, so I need to add one row on the header of the two colums, then 'merge' them, and add the word '----Qty----'.
Is it possible ?
Thank you,
xtanto

How to goup ADF applications

Hi,
Our existing system is made up of a few hundred separate Oracle Forms programs, and we are currently rewriting them in ADF Faces. We need advice regarding how the Forms programs should be grouped when rewriting them in ADF Faces. For example, we could create an individual Faces application for each Forms program OR we could have only one very large Faces application OR we could 20 or 30 Faces applications to replace our 300 Oracle Forms programs. Is there an impact on server load related to the size of the ADF Faces applications? What would be the best approach when deciding on how to group our new ADF Faces application(s)?
Thanks,
Annie

The other big issue you have is that a Forms application with typically behave very differently from a WebUI (e.g. Faces) application.
For example, in Forms you would typically have a menu bar, multirow block (e.g. EMPS) and you would typically edit each row directly. In a Web application - it is more likely that you have a read only list and then edit on a different screen....and of course you're validation works, potentially differently as well.
The is an inherent danger in re-writing a Forms application to a completely different technology IF you are wanting it to work "the same way as it did in Forms" (infact why rewrite it).
If infact you are re-writing because you want a different style of application then don't be burdened by the constraints of how you built Forms and write if for the technology you have chosen, not the technology your are moving from.

How To Integrate ADF Application with Oracle Fusion Middleware Audit Fmwk ?

Hi All,
I'm having ADF/ADF Face Application (using Jdev 11.1.1.5) and want to integrate it with Oracle Fusion Middleware Audit Framework.
I want to generate audit records by using oracle.security.jps.service.audit API and also want that Audit Policy
for my Application will be visible and manageable through FusionMiddlewareControl (as well as othe admin tools)
on the same way how it is for the OPSS services for example.
Unfortunately i didn't find any detailed docs for the topics above. In the Oracle Fusion Middleware Security Guide,
it is steated only that:
"Stand-alone applications can be integrate d with the Oracle Fusion Middleware Audit Framework through configuration with the jps-config.xml file."
, but nothing in details.
Can somebody help with this, giving some more detailed info or links to the appropriate detailed documentation(if any) ?
Thanks in advance,
Krasimir

deepak - why not link to the real documentation instead of that site that illegally publishes stuff?
Krasimir - I had a look at this a long way back, and didn't explore it much further because I reached a dead end in trying to figure out how it worked. It seems to me that the function is there and may be used internally within Oracle, but that it's not documented well enough for we mere mortals of the public to use it.
Have you tried opening an SR with Support? They won't know, but they will be able to raise it up and perhaps find someone who does know - be sure to reference this thread in your SR if you go that route.

How to deploy ADF Application

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.

4) then i create the EAR file
then i deplying application to weblogic....
Is i am going in right direction?

How-To Access ADF application module with ADF faces

Sorry for the repost but I don't get answer in the other Thread.
If you look in this little demo you see that you get the DCBindingContainer bc = getBindingContainer(); initialization, but my method getBindingContainer(); gives back null.
What could be the problem with this? Should I make some changes in preferences or something like that?
I work with JDeveloper 1013
Greetings Thijs

Steve Muench made an example of that on his blog, here is the url for the source download: http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/tips/muench/accessbindingsinbackingbean/AccessAppModuleInBackingBean.zip
There's one canveat to this technique however. #{binding} seems to be stored in requestScope and therefore can only be injected in request or none scoped managed beans.
