Oracle ADF, HTML

Hi!
I recently purchased this book:
Oracle Fusion Developer Guide: Building Rich Internet Applications with Oracle ADF Business Components and Oracle ADF Faces, By Frank Nimphius
Great book!
A fundamental question: When creating a custom-designed web application, is it a good approach to combind html and the powerful adf features,
because html is supposed to be used for the layout and adf for the functionality (user interactions)? I.e. embedding adf components in an html
table.
Thanks for your feedback!

User,
As a general rule, if you are going to use ADF Faces, it's better to learn the capabilities of ADF and how to use them and not to try to "mash" in your own HTML. I think it's a common thing for people coming from an HTML-centric background to try to do what you suggest, but in the long run, you'll be happier by trying to stick with ADF Faces and no extraneous HTML markup.
If you have a specific layout you're trying to achieve, you can always post a question here to get some ideas.
Best,
John

Mix html div with oracle adf

Dear all
i get some template (written in html/css/javasciprt/jquery) from a web designer to create some wep application, i copy the html code and paste it inside an empty jsf page (inside >af:form) in oracle adf 11.1.2.1, and set the javasciprt and css as a resource in the page.
but when i run this page it's look some different from the original one.
could any one tell me what the best practice for this issue?? or where i can find some helpful documents ?
Thanks

Hi,
If you use a ADF Faces, this is a JSF(no html).
you use a ADF components that will be rendered in a browser as a HTML.
eg, af:panelgrouplayout layout = "vertical" will turn into a HTML “DIV”. (http://martindeh.blogspot.com.es/2011/04/adf-layouts-revisted.html)
If you have a ADF faces application you should see adf components rendering and create a template with adf faces components and ADF Skins

Can i install Oracle ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 on weblogic 10.6 ?

can i install Oracle ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 on weblogic 10.6 ?
what the difference between ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 and Application Development Run time 11.1.1.6 ?
can i use ADF Essentials 11.1.2.3 instead of Application Development Run time 11.1.1.6 to deploy application (contains many jsf pages with rich faces and many taskflows and BC4J) ??
i'm using jdeveloper 11.1.2.3.0 and weblogic 10.6 installed on the Linux server

Hi,
JDeveloper 11g R1 (11.2.3) supported as ADF essentials and running on WebLogic 10.3.6 are the same releases. The difference is that a path is needed if you want to deploy the software on WLS 10.3.6. Quoting the release notes:
+"The ADF Runtime will be installed into a standalone application server by applying an Opatch bundle on top of a 11.1.1.6 version of the Application Developer Runtime environment. In the event that additional patches are needed or desired in addition to the 11.1.2.3.0 patch (for example, if an additional patch is needed for another component in the Application Development Runtime installation), those patches will need to be installed separately.+
+Important note: The patch is intended to be applied to an Application Developer Runtime installation. Applying the patch to a different installation type (for example, Oracle SOA Suite or Oracle WebCenter) is not supported."+
Release Notes: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/11gr2update3-1851251.html
For Glasssfish you don't need to patch the server and only install the ADF runtime libraries - also explained in the Release notes.

Hi all,
I would like to know what the differences between Oracle and other NoSQL database are.
When and why should we use Oracle?I suggest that you start here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/nosqldb/overview/index.html
Is Oracle NoSQL database link with Big Data Appliance?Yes, Oracle NoSQL Database will be a component of the Big Data Appliance.
Can we use map-reduce on a single personal computer? How should we install Oracle NoSQL database to use map reduce on a single personal computer?Yes, I believe you can run M/R on a single computer. Consult the various pieces of documentation available on the web. You may run Oracle NoSQL Database on the same computer that you are running M/R on, but it is likely that they will compete for CPU and IO resources and therefore performance may suffer.
Do we also have eventual consistency with Oracle NoSQL database? Yes.
Can we lose data if master node fails?If you run Oracle NoSQL Database with the default (recommended) durability settings, then if the master fails, a new one will be elected and data is not lost.
Are transactions ACID with Oracle NoSQL database? How can we prove it?Yes, each operation is executed in an ACID transaction. The API has the concept of "multi" operations which allow the caller to perform multiple operations on sets of records with the same major key, but different minor keys. Those operations are also performed within a transaction.

Oracle-ADF inlineFrame initializing view scoped bean twice

I am facing strange issue related with af:inlineFrame component. Trying to display/render ADF page inside of af:popup within af:inlineFrame component. The weird thing is when the popup displayed; view scoped bean's @PostConstruct method called twice. That means bean is initialized twice. However it needed to be initialized once since bean is referenced from the page that is going to be displayed inside af:inlineFrame.
Correct flow gotta be:
Click to button openPopup() method called.
openPopup() sets URI then opens popup.
inlineFrame source property set as it's going to display framePage.jspx.
JSF scans framePage.jspx code finds out there is a reference to FrameBean inside af:outputLabel
Construct FrameBean then call @PostConstruct method.
Call appropriate getter and render page.
What happens in my case:
Click to button openPopup() method called.
openPopup() sets URI opens popup.
inlineFrame source property set as it's going to display framePage.jspx.
JSF scans framePage.jspx code finds out there is a reference to FrameBean inside af:outputLabel
Construct FrameBean then call @PostConstruct method.
Call appropriate getter and render page.
Construct FrameBean then call @PostConstruct method.
Call appropriate getter and render page.
Popup located like:
<af:popup id="mainPopup" binding="#{mainBean.mainPopup}">
<af:dialog id="mainDialog">
<af:inlineFrame source="#{mainBean.URI}"> </af:inlineFrame>
</af:dialog>
</af:popup>
Showing popup via af:button action="#{mainBean.openPopup}":
public void openPopup() {
this.setURI("http://localhost:7001/app/framePage.jspx");
RichPopup.PopupHints hints = new RichPopup.PopupHints();
this.getMainPopup().show(hints);
framePage.jspx:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" /> <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
<f:view>
<af:document title="Frame Demo" id="demoDocument">
<af:form id="demoForm">
<af:outputLabel value="#{frameBean.commonId}"> </af:outputLabel>
</af:form>
</af:document>
</f:view>
</jsp:root>
FrameBean:
@ManagedBean
@ViewScoped
public class FrameBean {
private String commonId;
@PostConstruct
public void afterInit() { }
public String getCommonId() {
return commonId;
public void setCommonId(String commonId) {
this.commonId = commonId;
Making FrameBean @SessionScoped solves this issue since bean is kept with session but I don't want to keep it within session. Also setting source property of af:inlineFrame in jspx as hardcoded not fixing the problem.

im using ADF Essential on Glassfish 3.1 with no problem, but glassfish is heavyweight. I think Oracle ADF is not dependent to Application Server , then i tried to use my project with Tomcat 7. I deployed my application on Tomcat 7 , but im getting some exceptions.
Not all application servers support Oracle ADF.
Refer the certification matrix, Tomcat 7 is not listed as being supported.

How to implement custom Model Class in Oracle ADF?

I am using Oracle ADF for one of my project and i am using Query component of ADF. For given tables the query component creates view objects and maps the relations. ADF uses its own custom model class for this component and it should understand the DB tables. But for my project i have no access to database. All i can do is pass a string or object/query to the existing (custom) Java class/object, and this model class formulates query and queries the database and returns the value to my Java class. I have to display these results using ADF to the front end. Is There a way to achieve this? Can i replace/override the existing Model class of ADF. If so how?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, there:
Best thing to do is to start with the default login.html page, and then modify it. The login screen is fairly complex and it's easy to just miss a JS function you need to call. To get to default page, you would need to do one deploy (to simulator or whatever), and then look for login.html page in the temporary Xcode or Android project generated from the deployment. It should be under the "deploy" directory in your JDev workspace.
You can also see all the framework JS files and CSS files that way as well.
We have had customers implementing custom login screen so we know it can work, but they all had to start with the default login screen and then modify it.
Thanks,

Configuring Multiple Schemas in Oracle ADF application

Hi,
Thanks all for the replies for my previous posts :-)
We have a requirement in which we need to configure our application for multiple Database schema. At runtime based upon the logged in user we need to get data from the schema related to that user.
These schema may be on same Database instance/server or may be on different DB servers.
The requirement is like this
Logged in User DB schema configured
"A" ASchema @ 127.0.0.1
"B" BSchema @ 127.0.0.2
"C" ASchema @ 127.0.0.1
"D" Dschema @ 127.0.0.2
based on the User login (which is happening through one OID system), I need to fetch data from different schema (configured for different application).
These schema have different set of tables but set of table we require for our application are of same structure.
Same structure means same Table names with same relations.
Please let me know can we do the same in Oracle ADF application and How?_
One more requirement is that if i add a user at runtime and configure the DB schema for this user, All data related to this users will be loaded from this Schema which is configured for this user.
Thanks in Advance,
Amit

You can try the below example to change database at run time.
in the filter change the connection and not the credentials
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/dynamicjdbchowto-101755.html#03.
Most of the other part is done to handle state management tables, which you might also have to do unless you use a file passivation store or if its ok to passivate to a single database always.
If its ok to passivate to a single db always. Hard code the jbo.server.internal_connection in the AM configurations to a DB jndi name.
Adf allows you to activate and passivate to a different database other than what you are connected to get and put data.

Hi.
You can do it using ADF TaskFlows,Create two page fragments as index.jsff and home.jsff.Also need to create container page(.jspx) to add taskflow and finally need to run Content page.Then you can navigates page fragments within taskflow using controle flow case(navigation between page fragments).
See:

Oracle ADF Business Service Layer Technologies

Hello,
We are building an online shopping mall/site that is expected to receive order volume of 50-60 thousand orders per week. So obviously, data traffic generated by the site will be pretty heavy. The technology set we are supposed to use is Jdeveloper 10g with ADF. Currently ADF business service layer offers following set of technologies. The question is which of following technologies meets these four criterias the BEST? (1) Security, 2)24x7 Reliability and Maintenace overheads (3)Speed /Performance of the server response to client requests (4) integration with Oracle database.
Please advise. Any technet/metalink oracle document that compares these various business layer technology would be great indeed.
Business service technologies that I am talking about is mentioned below
Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) Session Beans
Since most J2EE applications require transactional services, EJB session beans are a logical choice because they offer declarative transaction control. Behind the EJB session bean facade for your business service, you use plain old Java objects (POJOs) or EJB entity beans to represent your business domain objects. JDeveloper offers integrated support for creating EJB session beans, generating initial session facade implementations, and creating either Java classes or entity beans. You can also use Oracle TopLink in JDeveloper to configure the object/relational mapping of these classes.
JavaBeans
You can easily work with any Java-based service classes as well, including the ability to leverage Oracle TopLink mapping if needed.
Web Services
When the services your application requires expose standard web services interfaces, just supply Oracle ADF with the URL to the relevant Web Services Description Language (WSDL) for the service endpoints and begin building user interfaces that interact with them and present their results.
XML
If your application needs to interact with XML or comma-separated values (CSV) data that is not exposed as a web service, this is easy to accomplish, too. Just supply the provider URL and optional parameters and you can begin to work with the data.
ADF Business Components.
These service classes are a feature of the ADF Business Components module, and expose an updateable dataset of SQL query results with automatic business rules enforcement.
Thanks
Ruchir

So the quote says "technologies Oracle recommends to J2EE developers" which is correct - if you are an experience Java EE developer the TopLink/JPA/EJB stack should be your choice however if you are coming from a 4GL/Enterprise developer background then the recommendation is here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B25947_01/intro002.htm#sthref21
For enterprise 4GL developers building new web applications, Oracle recommends using JavaServer Faces for the view and controller layers, and ADF Business Components for the business service implementation. This combination offers you the same productive J2EE technology stack that over 4000 of Oracle's own enterprise 4GL developers use every day to build the Oracle E-Business Suite. Since its initial release in 1999, several thousand external customers and partners have built and deployed successful Oracle ADF-based applications as well. Both now and in the future, Oracle and others are betting their business on Oracle ADF with ADF Business Components.
And yes ADF BC can be exposed as EJB - but this is usually only used for remote deployment of ADF BC when they are on another server than the UI code - for example when using Swing.

How to Edit Word Document in Oracle ADF Application - Apache POI

Hi All
I was wondering if there is a way to edit and save word documents in Oracle ADF without loosing the Formatting.
I was able to edit and save the word document however the Formatting was lost.
Please let me know if there are any pointers or open source Java APIs that we can use to achieve this.

Refer the Text Formatting section
Apache POI - HWPF - Java API to Handle Microsoft Word Files
HWPF Reads in a Word document with minimum formatting (no lists, tables, footnotes, endnotes, headers, footers)
Apache POI - HWPF - Java API to Handle Microsoft Word Files
The _cbt field in class HWPFDocumentCore contains formatting information.
HWPFDocumentCore (POI API Documentation)
For more advanced text extraction needs, including Rich Text extraction (such as formatting and styling), along with XML and HTML output, Apache POI works closely with Apache Tika to deliver POI-powered Tika Parsers for all the project supported file formats.

How to get full source code for Oracle ADF?

Hi,
I 'm referring to the following URL http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/B25947_01/intro003.htm and it has mentioned that full source for Oracle ADF is available :
"Full source for Oracle ADF is available to supported customers through Oracle Worldwide Support. The full source code for the framework can be an important tool to assisting you in diagnosing problems and in correctly extending the base framework functionality for your needs."
Does anyone know how to obtain such information from Oracle support? Is this from metalink

One possible snag in the process is that you will have some legal paperwork to sign. Depending on your company's policies, this could pose a problem.
