Senior Product Manager – Oracle JDeveloper/Oracle ADF

2. Oracle Fusion Applications
• Merge Oracle EBS, Siebel, Peoplesoft into one
offering with multiple modules
• Probably one of the largest software development
projects in the world
• Thousands of developers
• Several years in the making

3. What We Wanted
• Cutting Edge UI
• Agility
• System Integration
• Scalability, Security, Portability

4. How We’ll Get There
Java EE 5 SOA Web 2.0

12. 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
• How do you make it easy and approachable?

13. The Solution - Oracle ADF
• Abstract developers from technology complexities
• Example - UI Components abstracts from Ajax, Flash,
Javascript, DOM
• End-to-end framework
• Implements best practices
• Standards-based and extensible
• Easy to develop with
• Oracle JDeveloper provides visual and declarative experience

14. Oracle ADF
An Enterprise Java Framework
• Add value and simplify Java EE
• Provides solutions for:
• UI components and framework
• Advanced Controller
• Binding UI to business services
• Declarative and proficient business services
• O/R mapping
• Visual and declarative development
• Customization
