OAF vs ADF

Expert,
Please correct me if I am wrong.
OAF was supported till JDev 10.1.3.3.0, No more supported from JDev 11g releases onwards.
Oracle ADF 11g, at the moment, is not fully capable of being an alternative to OAF in supporting Oracle E-Business Suite aka Oracle Apps.
Oracle has some plans in the kitty to make ADF 11g to be the fully-fledged alternative to OAF in some near future.

Hi ,
Please refer to following links, may be usefiul

E-Business Suite Application Dev using OAF and ADF (White Paper Feb. 2008)

Hi,
In Oracle White Paper entitled "E-Business Suite Application Dev using OAF and ADF (Feb. 2008)" it was mentioned on page 7 :
+"When ADF 11g becomes production, we will publish a revised paper that compares OAF with ADF 11g, and discuss development against E-Business Suite."+
I've had no luck finding a new comparison table for OAF R12 with ADF 11g :(
can anyone help me on this?
thanks in advance,
Adrian

It is still not clear if your have to use SSO - the scripts loadsdk.sql and regapp.sql specifically are for Oracle Single Sign ON (OSSO) - the authentication schemes referred to on page 20 of the same doc do not require SSO. So, is SSO a requirement in your scenario ? If not, you should be following the steps in the section titled "Confuguring Custom Authentication" (beginning of page 20).Ouch..Sorry Srini, I have completely misinterpreted by the page no.'s in Adobe pdf reader.I was telling you about page 18 of the document.
Anyway i'll start with configuring Custom Authentication as by your suggestion.
But i'll move forward with no understandings about SSO and its implementations.
All I could get is this links
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15586_01/webcenter.1111/e12405/wcadm_security_sso.htm
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15523_01/install.1111/e12002/sso_das.htm
Is this link correct to start learning about SSO or do I need to learn anything (LDAP,OAM,etc..) before that ?

OAF and ADF

Hi,
Please help me in finding the differences between OAF and ADF...
Regards,
Anupam

By doing extensive read on adoption of ADF , I understand that as of now it is good to stick to tools provided as part of that ERP itself for customization (like OAF for Oracle EBS , Siebel tools for Siebel, etc.,)
Though ADF offers extensive UI (due to JSF), the only other reason for the adoption of ADF could be that it is part of Fusion stack . And may be it would help for easy migration to Fusion tomorrow if we have our custom pages developed in ADF today. By carefully using OAF following bast practices , still we can avoid using ADF.
Please correct me if my understanding is correct.

Any conversion utilities from OAF to ADF

Are there any migration or conversion utilities from OAF to ADF.
We have several forms developed using OAF, we want to migrate/convert these to ADF.
Any help/suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you,

There is no conversion utility available between OAF and ADF
But you may find below links interesting.

Would like to ask about Pros&Cons betwwen Oracle Forms, OAF and ADF

Hi,
Is there some material about the pros&cons between Oracle Forms, OAF and ADF, from angles like technical architecture, performance, network efficiency, etc...
Asking this becuase EBS cusotmer is familiar with Oracle Forms and OAF, when we talking about ADF to them, it is quite confused especially about OAF and ADF, finding material to elaborate these 3 technology clearly, thanks
- Liang Yi

Thanks, I check the comparison of OAF and ADF document downloaded from Oracle Support, but it is for ADF10g, I believe ADF11g is much better, and anyone check the comparison table between ADF 10g and OAF R12 would choose OAF.
And, from the document, I saw one line that is very confused, check it out, do not understand what does it mean with "if your application does not need to integrate with EBS... ... you should use ... ... integration with EBS" -_-!
"If your application does not need to integrate with the
E-Business Suite, or doesn't require any of the E-Business Suite-specific
capabilities enumerated above, you should use ADF 10g with SOA based
integration with E-Business Suite."

In market-OAF or ADF??

Hi,
What are the prospects of OAF or ADF after 1-2 years from now in your opinion.
I want to start learning either of OAF or ADF, however don't know about market prospects.
Which one to choose from OAF or ADF?I am expert of forms.
Experienced people please suggest.

Hi,
OAF is a e-biz web developement framework mainly for Oracle applications.
If you want to develope new pages and extensions for Oracle applications 11i and R12, then learn OA framework.
ADF is a web developement framework and can be used for standalone applications developement.
ADF 11g is also a web developement framework for Oracle Fusion Applications (next version of ERP which is not yet released).
If your a ebiz developer you can learn OAF. Remember learning OAF wont be wasted as bc4j is used in ADF too.
If your not a ebiz developer start learning ADF 11g. And the production version of jdeveloper 11g is also released.
Thanks,
Prasanna

Integration between OAF and ADF

Hi,
We have a requirement where we have to call ADF page as a region in OAF page.
We are able to deploy ADF application on Web logic server and call them as a standalone application in OAF using "Function and Menu".
Also, I understand that ADF and OAF interaction back and forth is not possible. ATG seems to be working on this for handling session management.
However, I need to understand if there is any mechanism by which ADF pages can be embedded in OAF page as a region and work as a normal application in Oracle Ebiz Suite?
It seems that OAF Rich Interface allows embedding ADF pages in OAF.
Appreciate some guidance on this.

Hi YJ,
Yes, we (ATG) are still working on session management between OA Framework and Oracle ADF, as well as other features of the Oracle E-Business Suite SDK for Java. Stay tuned for an announcement on Steven Chan's blog at https://blogs.oracle.com/stevenChan when that becomes available. My Oracle Support Note 974949.1 will be updated with further information at that time.
Embedding an Oracle ADF region in an OA Framework page requires, at a minimum, that you create an EBS function security function for your ADF page and add a richContainer item to your OA Framework page that calls the function. You may need session management features depending on what you are trying to do with it. We haven't worked out all the nuances yet for more specific guidelines, sorry.
Thanks,
Sara

ADF vs OAF

Hi,
I am currently working on OA Framework. I have read about the difference between OAF and ADF. It is pretty easy to get confuse and assume that ADF is the next generation of OAF. I think this assumption is completely wrong, as ADF in no ways related to Oracle E-Business Suite.
Is OAF is the only technology by which we can create thin client for OeBS at present ?
Please correct me, if my understanding is incorrect.
Also, please provide me answers for the below questions.
1) I have also learnt that ADF is a core technology for Fusion Application development. Please let me know, if someone is closely working with Oracle E Business Suite ( 11i/R12), how important it is for him to learn ADF and
what are the future prospects of it.
2) I have not had any experience with Oracle Fusion. Do you think, that after OeBS R12, we will have the next version of OeBS created using Oracle Fusion Technologies.
3) What all prospects get open up, if somebody has development experience on ADF.
4) If not ADF, then what is the next thing one should learn if he is good with OA Framework.
Thanks and Regards
Saurabh

Hi John,
When I started with OA Framework, I had one developer guide and learning OAF was pretty straight forward.
I tried to use the same approach when starting with ADF, but then I was lost in the pool of technologies.
It would be great, if you can suggest me something about starting ADF learning, so that once i get the flavour of the ADF, I can explore it and then it wud be easy for me to comprehend.
But just that I dont get lost, as there are so many things/tech in this, it would be really nice, if you can put down some points from where I can take the cues and start learning.
Thanks
Saurabh

Difference bw ADF and OAF

Hi,
Can anybody explain to me in simple words, what is the differene between ADF and OAF?
thanks and Regards

What is OAF? What is ADF? Difference between OAF and ADF?
To answer these questions satisfactorily lot of space is required.
In Simple terms for a newbie:
OAF - Java based framework for building html pages in Oracle Apps. Currently being used in R12.
You'll need OAF for extending existing functionality build in R12.
ADF - Java based framework for building html pages in next generation of ERP suite from Oracle, FUSION.
ADF is generic and is also being used for custom development.
ADF is not based on proprietary technology.
ADF can also be used for building custom modules for current oracle apps release R12.
From my personal experience, while learning ADF, then don't treat this as advance version of OAF. Start fresh as if its a new framework. Continuous comparison makes it tough to pick up ADF in initial stages.

Prince

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 ->

Hi Mukul,
Thanks for the tute, am new to ADF so this was of great help to me. I had a query, if i want to have my own look and feel web pages and Oracle ADF ones, does the custimzation involve too much of manual coding or can be done easily in ADF. Also is there an equivalent tag to div in ADF Faces

Oracle ADF and Oracle Applications

Hi All,
Can we use Oracle ADF with current version of Oracle E-business suite (R11i 2 in my case)? Or we need to use only OAF and ADF can be used only for future release of Oracle ERP?
It will be great if someone can list the benefits of OAF over ADF for Oracle EBS 11i 2. I want to convince the customer that ADF is not safe or not a good platform for the customizations in current release (R11i 2) and even for next immediate version (R12).
Thanks in advance,
CAH

Hi,
I don't think ADF can be used with Apps 11i,it can be user in R12(this is my understanding), if you want to run ADF pages from Apps then these pages should be located on External server and you can access this as an External Application.
As far as customization is concrened, it can't be done using ADF only new Applications be developed in ADF and if you are planning to develop some custom application in Apps then ADf will be a good choice as migration to 11g will be easier(but it will not support Apps specific features like KFF, DFF, Attachments etc.)
Please check Metalink Note 563047.1 on metalink for this and you can check some articles on this www.apps2fusion.com and Mukul's Blog.
I hope you will get some clear picture on this.

Reetesh Sharma

ADF application deployment on Oracle Apps server?

OAFramework is used to create and deploy oracle application pages...can ADF framework be used instead of OAFramework and be deployed and accessed in Oracle Applications? or as both OAF and ADF have different structures/framework they are for different purposes?
Thanks,
Tanveer

As of R12, OAF can only be used for Oracle Applications development/extensions.
Oracle ADF is an end-to-end J2EE framework. ADF is currently not used for Oracle Apps. Development / extensions. It is expected to be the case in Fusion and is a part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware.
Hope this clarifies.
