Oracle Fusion Middleware – The Platform

The Challange
On one side:
JPA, EJB, AJAX, JavaScript, BPEL, SOAP, WSDL, RMI, JNDI, JDBC, O/R, HTML, DOM….
On the other side:
Thousands of developers
Most don’t know these technologies
Most come from 4GL background
Expecting a visual and declarative approach
Don’t have time to learn all these new technologies
Need to focus on their specific application needs
Unified way of doing things
How do you make it easy and approachable?

The Solution - Oracle ADF
Development framework that simplifies development of Java EE-based Web & SOA applications
Abstract developers from technology complexities
Example - UI Components abstracts from Ajax, Flash, Javascript, DOM
Provides end-to-end infrastructure solutions…
O/R Mapping, persistence, caching, controller, binding, UI framework
… and an easy way to use them
Visual editors, Property editors, dialogs etc…

Diverse client base, not just HTML
Designed with tooling in mind
Applicable to wide spectrum of programmer types
A Java EE standard

ADF Faces Enhances JSF
Over 150 types of UI components
Trees, tabs, shuttles, etc.…..
Rich interactive component set
Partial page rendering (PPR)
AJAX functionality
Value-added features
Skinning, templating
Multiple renderers (HTML, PDA, wireless,…)
Drag and drop data binding
Accessibility
Internationalization
Open source (Apache Trinidad)

iPhone Safari Render kit
The Oracle ADF Mobile Browser client, however, enables developers to leverage the AJAX capabilities of the iPhone Safari browser, while maintain complete compatibility with mobile browsers that can only handle plain HTML or WAP 2.0 contents.
Furthermore, it helps developers create user interfaces that are optimized for iPhone screen size and mobile Web use.

Data Binding with the ADF Model The heart of ADF
Single interface for any business service implementation
Abstract implementation from clients
Drag-and-drop data binding for all services

ADF Skins & JSF Page Templates
ADF Skins
Skin is a style sheet based on the CSS 3.0 syntax
Load dynamically during runtime
ADF Page Templates
Consistent layout and style for all your pages
Base UI components for layout and look
Pluggable content zones (facets) for page-specific content
Cannot be nested

Page Fragments
Not complete JSF pages – they do not have a document tag ( af:document ) or view tag ( f:view )
Cannot be run on its own
Share the same request scope if inside the same page
Reusable portion of a page
Reduce the complexity of large pages

Creating a Page Fragment
Create a page fragment by doing one of:
1. Use the New Gallery
2. Double-click a view in a bounded task flow that uses page fragments
1 2

Using a Page Fragment in a Page
Two options:
Insert the jsp:include tag
<jsp:include page=“/fragment_page.jsff”/>
The included page fragment uses the binding context of the consuming page
Page definition file for page fragment is not loaded (doesn’t use bindings)
Insert a bounded task flow with page fragments as a region in your page; the page fragment can have its own binding context
Modifying the page fragment affects all pages that use it

Task Flows Reusable ADF Components
An extension to the ADF page flow concept
Can include pages, page fragments, method calls and other task flows
Support for bookmarking, transaction management, exception handling, and the browser back button

ADF TaskFlows
Define flows of pages and methods
Adds reusability of flows
Advance functionality in a declarative way
Declarative decision points
Executing code in a flow
Security
Bookmarking
Back button support
Exception and transaction management
Save for later
Memory scope management
An extension to the JSF page flow engine

<Insert Picture Here> Exposing Portlets Business Services User Interface Business Processes Exposed Portlets

Exposing Portlets
Portlets are reusable web components providing personalization and customization capabilities
Standards-based portlets (JSR 168)
Oracle PDK-Java portlets
PL/SQL portlets
JSF components
PanelCustomizable
Move left/right/up/down
Hide/show
ShowDetailFrame
Minimize/maximize

Task Flows vs. Portlets
Similar in functionality and behavior
Task flows are local to the application
Can share information and transaction boundaries with other items on the page
Portlets are external to the application
Has some overhead
Task flows can be portletized for reuse outside the application (JSR-301)

ADF Mobile Browser – Design Time Support
Mobile render kit handles support for different markup / device capabilities
Single application to handle both HTML and AJAX clients
Declarative, drag-and-drop development paradigm
Same Business Logic components are shared across mobile and desktop applications

ADF Mobile Browser – Run Time Support
Supports both consumer and smartphone browsers
Leverages AJAX features in smartphone browsers
Downgrades gracefully to support plain HTML browsers
Requires browsers supporting HTML / XHTML MP1 and WAP 2.0
Can be skinned with different style sheets based on user agent detection
Components size dynamically based on form factor
Partial page refresh
Requires full AJAX support
Page animation/transition support

Nokia S60 Browser
Android Browser
Plain HTML Browsers in Consumer Mobile Phones
Minimal browser requirement: HTML / XHTML MP1 and WAP 2.0 support
Need to download from Apace MyFaces Trinidad project

<Insert Picture Here> Metadata Services

What is Metadata Services Framework (MDS)?
A common infrastructure for metadata
Available across App Server Suite
ADF, SOA, Business Process Management (BPEL) etc.
Provides runtime and design time services such as
Flexible, Open Storage Options (export/import, file or database)
Versioning- track and rollback changes to your application
Team Development Support
Dependency Management
Sandboxing
Customization and Personalization

Customizing with MDS
How it is used
Web Center’s Page Editor
Allows Business Analysts and Admin browser based design experience
ADF components persist end user personalization to MDS
User removes columns from a table or freezes columns
Customization Developer Role in Jdeveloper (seeded)
Allows developers to verticalize their applications
i.e Change attributes displayed based on industry
Customer customizes delivered product to better meet their business practices.

Metadata Services Customization Laura’s Page John’s Page + + MDS Customization Engine Metadata Repository - File or DB No User Customization Base Document User1’s User Customization Site Customization

Customization
Multiple layers of customization
Configuration determines:
Number of layers (Verticalization, Site, User etc.)
Precedence of layers
Context can be determined at runtime
Customizations saved as separate XML documents
Base and customized metadata stored in MDS repository

Customization Layers simplify Upgrade Industry Site User Industry Site User Version 1 Version 2 Customer Customizations Carry Forward Upgrade Can Change Base Metadata

End User Customization
User customizations of ADF components
ex.User hides and reorders columns in a table
Changes Persists for the Session
Changes Persists across Sessions using MDS
Project Level Settings
Many ADF components support user customization out of the box

End User Customization
Developers choose which to persist
Initially specified at the application
Override setting for a page
Override for an instance of a component

Developer Customization
Customizations are made with JDeveloper’s Customization Role
Customization are made for each defined layer
Experience is the same as creating base metadata
Only Metadata is customizable (not java files etc.)
Only existing metadata, can’t create new pages etc.
