Oracle ADF Faces Components, Early Access Release 8 is now available

Oracle ADF Faces is a rich set of user interface components based on the new JavaServer Faces JSR (JSR-127). Oracle has been actively involved in this JSR since its beginning. The Oracle ADF Faces Components provide various user-interface components with built-in functionality - such as data tables, hierarchical tables, and color and date pickers - that can be customized and re-used in your application.
ADF Faces also includes many of the framework features most needed by JSF developers today:
* File upload support is integrated at a component level.
* Client-side validation is automatically derived from Validators and Converters for an improved user experience.
* A pageFlow scope makes it easier to pass values from one page to another.
* A new hybrid state saving strategy gives developers the best of both client and server-side state saving.
ADF Faces ensures a consistent look and feel for your application, allowing you to focus more on user interface interaction rather than look and feel compliance. The components support multi-language and translation implementation as well as accessibility features. ADF Faces Components use Partial Page Rendering (PPR) offering superior runtime interactivity. PPR allow the browser to just render a piece of a page instead of the entire page.
The intention with this early access release is to give developers/architects an opportunity to evaluate JSF and Oracle's JSF component offering.
Oracle ADF Faces Components can be used in any IDE that support JSF, including Oracle JDeveloper 10g.

Does Studio Creator support Oracle ADF Faces and other components?

Hi everyone
According to:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/partners/addins/exchange/jsf/doc/faq.html
"Although ADF Faces is "vanilla" JSF we have not been able to run with Java Studio Creator Build 04.06.2. We are working with Sun to resolve the issues in Java Studio Creator."
Does anyone know if Oracle ADF faces now work with Studio Creator and if so which version.
In addition I am also looking for JSF visualization components. In addition to advanced 3-D graphs (send as PNG to client) I am also looking for components to visualize the structure of a website. These all need to work with Studio Creator.

Importing 3rd party libraries used to be complicated. The .complib stuff was added precisely to make it easy.
It does make packaging slightly harder for third party -vendors-, since there's one extra step, but this makes everything easier for (the much larger number of) users of the third party components, since the packaging format specifies a bunch of stuff that we used to have to ask of users when trying to add the jar and associated metadata into the IDE.
The complib stuff is documented, so if you're producing a 3rd party JSF library, or if you really want to use one that hasn't yet been packaged, you can do the steps yourself.
See http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/People/EdwinGoei -- the first couple of links describes the process. Yes, we're working with third party vendors to get this done for their component sets, and yes, there's talk with other IDE vendors to standardize all this.

Latest version of Oracle ADF Faces?

What is the latest version of Oracle ADF faces? Is there a single place where you can always download the latest and greatest?
I have the API and Impl libraries (and the adfshared too) from JDeveloper. They are part of Early Access 19 I believe. But what version of ADF is used in this demo (link below) that is included with the adffaces-skin.war file? Would EA19 be more recent and work with it?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/howtos/adfskins/index.html

Oh, and I will mention, in the version that comes with the skins demo, the manifest file says
Implementation-Version: 10_1_3_0_4
In the version that comes with JDeveloper, the manifest file says
Implementation-Version: ea19
Which one is later?

Deserialization in Oracle ADF Faces

Hi, All,
is there any algorithm for deserialization (creating components from markup in string) in Oracle ADF Faces? Most part of UI is created dynamically in PL/SQL functions, so I'm not enthusiastic to develop a parser.
AFAIK in Bindows framework they use such code pattern (javascript):
try {
var d = new BiXmlDocument;
d.loadXML( "<root>" + server_create_markup() + "</root>" );
} catch( ex1 ) {
alert(ex1.toiString());
if( d.parseError.errorCode != 0 ) {
alert( "parse error" );
return;
try {
Bindows_component.removeAll();
var de = d.documentElement;
var cs = de.childNodes;
var rp = application.getAdf().getXmlResourceParser();
for( var i = 0; i < cs.length; i++ )
Bindows_component.addXmlNode( cs, rp );
} catch( ex2 ) {
alert( "Error loading markup from DB-server function" );
return;

Hi,
not that I am aware of. However, since ADF Faces is nothing else than JavaServer Facse UI components you can Google for such a parser. If you find one you will be able to use it with ADF Faces too.
Frank
Ps.: Maybe APEX (Application Express) is the better technology for you to use. Its PLSQL based and knows how to create Ajax style applications out of the database.

ADF Faces Components Demo - Illegal Characters error

Hi ,
I downloaded the ADF Faces Components Demo for version 11.1.2.3.0 from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/downloads/index.html . I tried following instructions :ADF Faces Components Demo Install Instructions
This is getting downloaded as rcf-dvt-demo.zip. I renamed it to rcf-dvt-demo.war.
Then I tried to create a project from this war... and got following error :
The project file "C:\rcf-dvt-demo.war!\Project.jpr" is not valid. The file name may contain illegal characters, it may be too long, or permissions for this file or one of it's parent directories may be restricted.
Please help . Am i downloading from correct location and following the correct instructions.
Thanks,
Rajdeep

Good Catch Timo ... Lot of thanks.
Still I will put down the silly mistake of overlooking the wizard.
I was doing the correct thing - "create a new application and inside this application workspace you add a new 'project from war'." But mistake was .. First step of wizard it is project name and path,, and then second step is war location... and in hurry I was giving the project name and war location in first step.
Thanks,
Rajdeep

Oracle ADF JSF components - do I need license

Are Oracle ADF JSF components free? I know that Oracle contributed source to Apache. Does it mean I can use ADF or do I need to pay for it? Thanks

ADF Faces now known as Trinidad is open source library.

Consuming JSF & ADF Faces Components in Portal Page

I am totally new to Oracle Portal environment and doing some analysis of using Portal in our application.
I was reading that we can create JSP Portlets like adding scriptlets, expression and other JSP & HTML elements.
Is it possible to consume JSF & ADF Faces components in Portal page? I mean, is it possible to create JSF Portlets?

The WSRP provider, which is shipped with Portal 10.1.4, would provide this functionality through the JSF bridge. You need to install Webcenter to get the bridge. This makes me think whether you should use Oracle Portal or rather decide to go for Webcenter as development platform, especially if you have a J2EE background already.

ADF Faces Components in a Portal

Hi,
We have managed to use the ADF Faces components in a normal web environment, but have had problems when using the components in a portal environment. We are using the JSF portlet bridge classes for rendering portlets. We are getting a ClassCastException in the FacesServlet... Anyone used these components in a portal and know how to get around this problem?
Thanks.

Oracle ADF Faces integrated in Oracle JDeveloper: Freebie?

Hi room, I'd like to ask if Oracle ADF Faces, the version integrated in Oracle JDeveloper (this is a freebie) is a Freebie also, any1 knows, do share. Thanks a lot.

Hi,
no, it isn't. If you are looking for free software, have a look at MyFaces Trinidad, which is the open source - and thus free - version of ADF Faces

JDeveloper 10.1.3.4.0: Controlling HTML formatting of ADF Faces components

I have been investigating the ADF Faces components, and some of them write a fairly substantial block of HTML to the browser.
The inputText, for example, renders an HTML table containing, among other things, an input, required field indicator, and a span for error display.
This would appear to limit the amount of control a page designer would have over the precise layout of these sub-elements.
We are en E-Commerce shop, so the ability to control the exact layout of our pages is critical to our business.
Are the ADF Faces components going to allow us the fine-grained UI control we need?
It could be a coincidence, but it seems as if all the real-world application examples in the ADF documentation seem to be business-type applications,
where the UI is right out of the box with minimal tweaking.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Jonathan,
For a label above the text you can use this:
            <af:group>
              <af:outputLabel value="outputLabel1"/>
              <af:inputText/>
            </af:group>You can also achieve a lot of other customization with skins for ADF Faces components.
But more to the point - since the JSF components offer you more then just basic HTML component I guess there might be a limit to the customization you can do to them.
At the end your company will need to make the call on what is more valuable - the ability to stick exactly to a style or the ability to use components with rich functionality that save you coding.
Think for example how much coding on the client you'll need to do in standard JSP/HTML to achieve what the ADF Table component gives you out of the box (sorting, range paging, detail disclosure, banding, etc). Maybe it is worthwhile to be a little more flexible on the layout issues instead of ending up wasting a lot of time writing these code.
In any case even if you choose to go with plain JSP and Struts or with plain JSF and the plain JSF components - the ADF framework will still enable you to do drag and drop binding to your UI.
The benefit of the ADF Faces components is the built in functionality they provide with things like partial page rendering, Ajax functionality etc...

As you can see, the exception will be thrown when we try to initialize our Service class which uses the Service(java.net.URL paramURL, javax.xml.namespace.QName paramQName) constructor of the javax.xml.ws.Service class.
The problem exists only in case of Java Web Start and since Java 8u40. The exception will not be thrown if I start our application in eclipse.
Is this a known bug? I haven't found a related bug in the bug-database.
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards Steve

Am I the only one with that problem?

How execute pl/sql command from Oracle ADF Business Components

can't find examples for how execute pl/sql command from Oracle ADF Business Components and how call pl/sql package procedure from ADF Business Components.
insert,update,delete rows in view object instance cache is good but if i must do some complex operations while insert,update,delete rows..it's more better for me to call
pl/sql procedure from oracle db.Am i wrong ????

Roman,
this should be similar to how it worked in JDeveloper 9.0.3. hava a look at <JDev903 Home>\BC4J\samples\StoredProc for a code example.

Advise on maximum number of Active data ADF faces components on one page

How many active data ADF faces components (ADS configured in long polling transport mode) can we have on a page? Is there any restriction (eg: one factor could be max number of concurrent HTTP connections) ?

Can you please tell us which JDev version you are using? A use case would be appreciated too.
There has been a discussion on ADS here the last couple of days. Search the forum and you may find some useful info.
