What are ADF Business Components??

ADF BC is running in my mind
Can anyone tell what do they look like??
are they different from any of the components which we develop such a EJB or any JSF components??
revert back ASAP

ADF Business Components is enhanced in 11g, but it is production now in JDeveloper/ADF 10.1.3.
The ADF Learning Center [http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/learnadf.html] has our latest resources for enterprise 4GL Developers getting started with Oracle ADF. This includes the complete ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers [http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/jdev/b25947_01/index.html], a companion sample application [http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/samples/srdemoadfbc.html], and a companion step-by-step tutorial [http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/ADFBC_tutorial_1013/10131/index.htm].
To complement the free Developer's Guide from Oracle, you might be interested in the Oracle Press title Oracle JDeveloper 10g for Forms & PL/SQL Developers: A Guide to Web Development with Oracle ADF [http://www.amazon.com/Oracle-JDeveloper-Forms-SQL-Developers/dp/0072259604].
There is an instructor-led course for Oracle ADF For Forms/4GL Developers [http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/show_desc.redirect?dc=D18384GC10&p_org_id=1001&lang=US&source_call=].
Potentially of interest to any former Oracle Forms or Oracle Designer user is the additional Oracle JHeadstart for ADF [http://www.oracle.com/technology/consulting/9iServices/JHeadstart.html]extension for JDeveloper. This is a complete web-tier page generation solution that has its own step-by-step tutorial [http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/muench/jhstutorial/index.html?_template=/ocom/technology/content/print] so customers can evaluate whether it might benefit their developer productivity. The JHeadstart Features/Benefits document is here [http://www.oracle.com/technology/consulting/9iservices/JHeadstart%20White%20Paper.pdf] (pdf).
The OTN J2EE for Forms Devs [http://otn.oracle.com/formsdesignerj2ee] home page has additional resources of particular interest to Oracle Forms developers.
Last but not least, the JDeveloper OTN Discussion Forum JDeveloper and ADF is a great resource to ask JDeveloper/ADF questions of your peers and Oracle employees working on/with the technology.
Hope this helps

Help required building ADF-Swing/ADF-Faces using ADF Business Components

My question is in regards to how you can go about building a light swing application to an ADF model?
In particular if I were to say that we were developing a 3-tier project whereby we had a database tier, a series of EJB-ADF façade session beans to the database (middle-tier), and a swing client communicating with the session beans (view-controller tier), how would you go about developing these screens?
In particular can we develop these screens using ADF-Faces and also ADF-Swing?
The EJB session façade beans of course are ADF app modules with customised methods. The methods would return back customised DTO objects. These DTO objects are wrappers to row objects ADF would create. This would be mainly due to making these facade beans web service enabled (Oracle state that these methods cannot return oracle.jbo objects if they are to be web service enabled).
This would be typically deployed to an app server, like Oracle App Server 10G.
Could you please have a look at this, as I am doing a lot of research into this.
eg. Taking example from oracle magazine sept/oct 2006
with slight enhancements
package oramag.frameworks.example.common;
import oracle.jbo.ApplicationModule;
import oramag.frameworks.customdto.EmployeeDTO;
public interface HRService extends ApplicationModule {
void deleteCurrentEmpAndCommit();
EmployeeDTO findEmployee(int employeeId); // new method
import oramag.frameworks.customdto.EmployeeDTO;
public class HRServiceImpl extends ApplicationModuleImpl {
public void deleteCurrentEmpAndCommit() {
Row empRow = getEmpView().getCurrentRow();
if (empRow != null) {
empRow.remove();
getDBTransaction().commit();
public EmployeeDTO findEmployee(int employeeId)() {
EmployeeDTO employeeDTO = null;
EmployeesImpl employees = getEmployees();
employees.setNamedWhereClauseParam("EmployeeId", employeeId);
employees.executeQuery();
if(employees.hasNext()) {
EmployeesRowImpl employee = (EmployeesRowImpl)employees.next();
employeeDTO = new EmployeeDTO(employee);
return employeeDTO;
public EmployeesImpl getEmployees() {
return (EmployeesImpl)findViewObject("Employees");
Now given the above code snippet, how could you turn this into an ADF-Swing/ADF Faces application so that if a user using the swing application enters an employee id, then the application will execute the query on the app server, the app server in turn returns the results to the client, and the client finally display the results. Typical MVC example.
Cheers
Rodney

The tutorial is for ADF BC used with JavaServer Faces.
While the tutorial doesn't cover it, we also support drag and drop development for Swing and visual WYSIWYG layout for Swing panels and windows, too. For a very simple example, watch screencast #4 on my blog here:
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2005/06/24/jdeveloperAdfScreencasts.html
One thing I have noticed is that when using ADF business components, when the app module returns a custom DTO object like the above example, it returns the data in a element structure according to the data control palette.
You don't generally ever need to create your own custom DTO's when working with ADF for use by client UI's. The only situation where can be necessary -- until we simplify this in the JDeveloper/ADF 11g release -- is when you desire to expose custom methods that can return sets/arrays of typed row structures through a web service. However, web services are not involved/required in building 3-tier Swing applications.
When dropping onto a page it does so like a string and doesnt give option to display the data in a read only form etc. Is there anything we need to do, to get the functionality.
It's more of what you don't need to do :-)
Just leverage the active data model that the ADF application module provides. You can read more about it in section 4.5 "Understanding the Active Data Model" of the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers on the ADF Learning Center at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/learnadf.html). Your UI's bind to view object instances in the data model, and your UI's are automatically kept up to date without needing to write methods that return data. I short article I wrote that preceeded my writing the ADF Developer Guide content on this topis is here:
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2006/01/26/theAdfBusinessComponentsActiveDataModel.html
I know that when dropping a view object you get this functionality. Also was wondering if we were to pass an object of thios type back to the model it might not give us the rich functionality like input forms, like what Oracle provides if we were to drop a enitity view object.
Just use the active data model and everything becomes totally easy, with no changes required to switch between local or three-tier deployment configurations.
Trying to do everything with hand-coded DTO beans is really going the hard way.
Could you help us regarding this?

Adf business components n Ejb Concepts

peoples. sorry for asking this silly doubts.
reason behind this question.
most often use the adf business components i doesnt know it. but now i am learning with help experts blogs. In some blogs, peoples using Ejb concepts.
but ,some what i know ejb.
My doubt:
for desiging an transaction oriented projects. and multiple peoples work on my form.
what should i use.
ejb or adf business componets. which is suitable for the transaction orientation.
please guide me.....

Either is suitable for transaction semantics.
Which one you choose would likely depend upon your background. If you are already well versed in EJB/JPA, then you would follow that approach. If you are already versed in ADF BC or Oracle Forms, then ADF BC would be a logical choice. I will also say that Oracle seems to have invested more effort in the ADF BC side of things, so if you are still undecided, then maybe that observation can sway you to the ADF BC side.

Why ADF Business Components and TopLink

Hi All,
Why are there two types of components in Businses Tier? (ADF Business Components and TopLink). Even through there are other types, I can visualize the use of other components but ADF Business Components & TopLink seems to serve the same requirement.
Can some one provide me information on what is the difference between these two and when to use which one?

ADF Business Components (aka BC4J) are different from Toplink from approach point of view. Basically if you are more comfortable with SQL and want fine grain control over what and how SQL are run against the database, BC4J is the way to go, because, it's you who write the queries(in ViewObjects)
If you are from more of java backgroup and can visualize things in term of Object and relationships among objects, so on and so forth then Toplink would be the right choice.
Pls see the post by Shay in his blog:

Integrating ADF Business Components from heterogenous data sources

Hi all,
has anybody experience in integrating ADF Business Components from heterogenous data sources like ViewObjects from a DB2 database as LOV in a ViewObject from a Oracle 11g?
What is the best practice approach to integrate such different ADF Business Components in declarative and programmatic ways?
Thank you!

thank you for the answer! We already updated out BC according to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/multidatabaseapp-085183.html
The DB2 ViewObjects are exported as ADF Libraries and imported in the BC of the project with Oracle DB ViewObjects. In the root AM I created instances from the imported DB2-ViewObjects as well as from the Oracle-ViewObjects, but when I start AM test environment it takes the preconfigured Data Source of the root AM. So I probably will pesneed to create two AMs for the different ViewObject types and for the two connection types. My question is what will be best practices to use data from the DB2-VO of AM_DB2 in the OracleDB-VOs as part of AM_Oracle? Should it be done only programmatically or can it be done also declaratively and any suggestions how to proceed?
Thank you!

ADF Business Components with SQLITE db connection

Dear Experts,
I just started exploring JDev+ADF. I tried to create business components from a SQLITE db connection, but it seems that the Wizard windows stuck at the first steps even though I have successfully tested the SQLITE db connection.
Has anyone tried to create ADF Business Components from sqlite db connection using the wizard windows? Do I have to code this manually?
JDev: 11.1.1.6
JDBC Driver: sqlitejdbc-v056.jar
SQLite: 3.6.0
Thanks

Since ADF BC are just java classes and jars - I don't see a reason why not.
But I would be interested to know what specifically are you going to build with velocity.

Problem to deploy to a WebService interface for ADF Business Components to Weblogic Server

Hi,
I'm trying to deploy a custom application ,in which i have exposed ADF Business Components through a WebService interface, to a standalone weblogic server.
Application Module is configured with a Service Interface for ordinary ViewObjects.
Now I want to create a EAR file of this application to deploy it on the weblogic server.
But I got an error while deploying it.The error i am getting is shown below.

ADF Business Components from Tables - adding more tables

Hi.
I have already created a ADF Business Components from Tables and added tables from the Oracle database.
My question is:
Is it possible to add more tables to the same Business Components model?
Not as a new Component Table, but with the same tables so i can use the same relations and mappings?

Hi and thanks! Yes, I am talking about recreating a the same View Object that i already has created. In my first model i had the tables Name and Address. I want to add a new table called zipcode to the same View som i can choose colums from the zipcode-table in the same View as Name and Address.
I'm not shure what you mean by Data Model tab? Can you spesify?
Thanks!

Modifying SQL used by ADF Business components

How can we modify the query used by ADF Business components that are generated from database tables by dnd in JDeveloper?

I would like to change the where clause at runtime based on some configuration that can be changed while application is up and running. Can I just over ride the getWhereClause of the ViewObjetcImpl for that?

What are the key components to be mointored after support pack installation

I m an PI developer ,last Friday Basis installed the service pack 15 in Quality box . They are asking me to mointor the QPI to make sure everything is running fine and let them know so they can install the service pack in Production box.
Apart from normal monitoring of the system ( RWB and SXMB* ), what are the other components i need to monitor.
Can you tell me what to be monitored after Support pack installation.

Hi,
1) If CCMS is configured then you can monitor this as well (RZ20)
2) Keep an eye on Queues

TLBH
Depending on the data you exchange between the two systems, you need to activate the necessary components.
These components form the basic framework where the data in your order document gets stored in the respective components
For example:A double-level order document, use the components 1HDR (header) and 2IT2 (item). For a triple-level order document, use 1HDR (header), 2IT3 (item) and 4SDL (schedule line).
As mentioned by Nikhil and Sandeep, the above notes help you, in activating the necessary ODM's
Kindly read the help document available is SAP IMG for further understanding.
