The document discusses Oracle's Fusion Development Platform. It provides an overview of Oracle as a company and its various software products. It then discusses Oracle Fusion Middleware and Applications, which aim to merge Oracle's acquired software like E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, and Siebel into a single offering. The development of Fusion Applications involved thousands of developers over several years. The document outlines Oracle's vision and technologies behind Fusion, including the Java EE 5 stack, SOA, Web 2.0, and Oracle Fusion Middleware as the platform. It discusses features and components of the Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) for developing user interfaces, business services, and business processes on Fusion.

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 Unified way of doing things How do you make it easy and approachable?

13. 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…

67. 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

68. 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

69. 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

70. 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

71. 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

72. 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

77. 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)

82. 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

83. 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

85. <Insert Picture Here> Metadata Services

86. 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

87. 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.

88. 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

89. 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

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

91. 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

92. 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

93. 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.

94. Oracle Fusion Development Platform Integrated Full development life cycle Not only for Java EE but for the entire platform Productive Visual and Declarative ADF Standard Choice of technologies Choice of deployment platforms
