Looking at understanding how the ADF Model layer works? What are data controls? What are bindings? In part 1 of this ADF Insider you will learn about data controls, the binding layer and the various files (e.g. DataBindings.cpx, PageDef.xml) that are used to bind business services to UI controls.

In the second part of this ADF Insider presentation you will learn about how you access ADF Model bindings at runtime. Understand what is a BindingContext, a BindingContainer and the common methods you will use. Find out how you can use EL and Java to access an AttributeBinding, an OperationBinding and a JUCtrlListBinding.

This 90 minute recording introduces the concept of ADF unbounded and bounded task flows, as well as other ADF Controller features. The session starts with an overview of unbounded task flows, bounded task flows and the different activities that exist for developers to build complex application flows. Exception handling and the Train navigation model is also covered in this first part of a two part series. By example of developing a sample application, the recording guides viewers through building unbounded and bounded task flows. This session is continued in a second part.

This 75 minute session continues where part 1 ended and completes the sample application that guides viewers through different aspects of unbounded and bounded task flow development. In this recording, memory scopes, save for later, task flow opening in dialogs and remote task flow calls are explained and demonstrated. If you are new to ADF Task Flow, then it is recommended to first watch part 1 of this series to be able to follow the explanation guided by the sample application..

ADF Security is an authentication and authorization framework in Oracle ADF. This session explains ADF Security from ground up. It starts with container managed security and JAAS to how they to fit into ADF Security. It then explains the ADF Security architecture with Oracle Platform Security Services (OPSS) and the WebLogic security platform for authentication. Topics discussed include authorization, page protection, task flow protection as well as security expressions ADF provides for EL.

In Part 1 of this series you'll learn how to package your application in an ear file, start Oracle WebLogic Server Domain as well as Oracle Internet Directory (OID), setup OID authenticator, setup a jdbc datasource and deploy your ADF application using Oracle FMW Control.

This session, Part 2, picks up where Part 1 of this series left off by showing you how to map application roles to the OID groups and test the application, update role permissions at runtime and redeploy the application with different security-related settings.

In this session you'll learn how to enable SSO in an ADF application through the use of Oracle Access Manager 11g. Specifically you'll walk away with an understanding of the installation process for Oracle HTTP Server 11g (OHS) as a reverse proxy for Oracle WebLogic Server, the installation process of Oracle Access Manager 11g (OAM) Web Gate within OHS and then enable SSO through OAM.

Oracle’s ADF Business Component Application Module pooling parameters are one of the least understood parts of ADF applications, but they are key to making a scalable application This set of videos will undertake a deep dive for developers on how to configure the parameters and what the impact of setting them is, all with the goal of building successful ADF applications This series of videos takes a progressive learning approach to introducing the AM pool and its settings. As such new viewers are recommended to watch the video series end-to-end to ensure they understand the full set of concepts.

Groovy is a Java-like scripting language that gives you huge amounts of flexibility when building ADF applications. In this ADF Insider you will see how Groovy can be used in ADF Business Components to define default values, validation and dynamic error messages.

Skinning in ADF Faces enables application developers to change the color scheme of an application without changing the application itself. To build a skin, developers use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) referenced from the trinidad-skins.xml file and configured in the trinidad-config.xml file. The session explains how skinning works, starting from skin selectors and their usage.

ADF Faces provides developers with a component oriented client side JavaScript architecture that provides a consistent development environment across browsers. This session explains the server and client architecture of ADF Faces and how developers can use JavaScript in their ADF Faces applications. It explains client listeners, server listeners (Ajax calls to the server) and calls from Java to the client.

Learn how you can build a consistent look and feel to your ADF application pages using page templates and declarative components. In this session you will see how you can use template facets to define content areas in a template, and how attributes can be used to control features of the template such as initial layout. You will also see how you can build reusable composite components.

Oracle ADF has built in integration with the Oracle SOA Suite. In this session we'll show you how to expose your business services to SOA consumers, and how to integrate SOA processes into your ADF application.

This session covers most of the options that exist for communicating between regions. It briefly discusses what it takes to build regions from bounded task flows before going into details using slides and samples. The following interaction is explained: contextual events, queue action in region, input parameters and PPR, drag and drop, shared Data Controls, parent action and region navigation listener.

Contextual events is a power solution for inter region communication and can be used as a communication channel between a parent view and its contained regions, as well as between regions. This session explains how to set up contextual events, how to define producers and event listeners and how to define the payload message. In a live example the session shows developers the building process too.

This session focuses on classical mistakes developers make when working with the Oracle ADF binding layer and the ADF Controller (Task Flows). It shows examples of how not to do it and the correct way of using ADF in Oracle JDeveloper 11g.

This second part of classic API mistakes focuses on Expression Language problems, the use of ADF Faces and JavaScript. Developers learn best practices and pitfalls to avoid.

This session covers many aspects of team development including how to set up your team's resources for developing projects and how to use source control repositories in a team environment. Additionally, an overview of the features of Team Productivity Center is provided. Finally, several considerations for reusing code are covered, including best practices for setting up business components and using ADF libraries to distribute shared code.

Many customers developing ADF applications may be looking to re-implement applications originally built using Oracle Forms. In this presentation you will hear about the options for redevelopment, and see demonstrations of how you can re-implement common Forms features in ADF based on a redevelopment case study.

This session will show you how to turn data into information by presenting it visually to your users. You'll learn how you can turn simple queries into powerful graphs, maps, pivot tables, and other dynamic graphical representations.

This presentation shows how you can use ADFLogger and the dashboard to view logging information.

This session explains the process of developing layouts with ADF Faces. Prototyping strategies are discussed, including ADF's own Placeholder Data Control. The remainder of the session covers the ADF Faces layout components in detail, highlighting their uses and providing examples of how the components might work in various scenarios. Finally, a demonstration shows how to work with layout components to define the way nested ADF Faces content appears.

Beyond the basic training on Oracle's JDeveloper 11g ADF, developers are left with an overwhelming list of options for presenting a rich application to users. Buttons, sliders, graphs, and more. Yet individually, these don't make an application, these don't make a user experience; how will your application pull this into a consistent look and feel, how will the application flow, how will they navigate in your application? This session looks at Oracle's ADF UI Shell (a.k.a. Dynamic Tabs Shell), a working combination of page templates, navigation controls, and application structure bringing the many parts of 11g ADF applications together into a living application experience.

Apache JMeter can be used to run performance, load and stress tests on ADF applications. However, JMeter has no intelligence on understanding ADF applications and requires careful configuration to process the ADF cookies and HTTP state variables. This presentation shows how to configure JMeter for ADF testing, demonstrates a live stress test, and highlights some gotchas that can break the tests you create.

Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) practitioners will quickly realize that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to creating an Oracle ADF application architecture. The unique challenges and requirements of your system will have a strong influence on the solution you finally build. Taking a step back from the nitty-gritty details of Oracle ADF, this presentation looks at the early decisions you need to make and what architectural choices you have in meeting your requirements.

Oracle ADF Integrates with SOAP and REST services as a service client and service provider. This ADF Insider session shows the options you have for accessing remote SOAP and REST services from ADF and the best practices involved with this. In its second part, this session shows the available options to make ADF Business Components models accessible to SOAP and REST clients. Exposing ADF BC as a service provider allows you to support multi-channel access, e.g. from Web, SOA and ADF mobile client, to your business logic and data.

Each new line of code your write is a potential bug. Moreover, each line of code you add to your existing applications reduces your ROI. On the other hand, service integration is more important today than ever. Mobile applications require deep integration with your line-of-business applications to reach their true potential. Did you know that you can leverage the Oracle ADF applications you already have to build web services? In this presentation, Frédéric Desbiens shows you how to build web services from an existing ADF application by refactoring the Summit ADF sample application and discusses the various technology choices you will have to make.

With JDeveloper and Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE), you can use two great IDEs to develop your ADF applications. Did you know that both can use standalone WebLogic Server instances instead of the integrated one? In this session, you will learn how to install such an instance and what benefits it will provide you. You will also see how to configure your favorite IDEs to use a standalone WebLogic instance.

This video gives you an insight into the workings of ADF Business Components and how you can use various parameters and features of the framework to ensure you build performant and scalable ADF Business Component Applications.

REST services are one of the primary mechanisms for communicating with server-side business logic from a mobile application. In this ADF Insider you'll learn how to call REST services from an ADF Mobile application.

This ADF Insider video shows how you can bring your ADF Mobile applications to life using DVT (Data Visualization Tools) graphs and chart.

The request lifecycle in web applications defines individual steps that incoming requests needs to pass before a response is returned to the requesting client. JavaServer Faces knows of 6 life cycle steps that need to process in order to read, insert, update and delete form data and to process navigation. Oracle ADF seamlessly integrates with the JavaServer Faces lifecycle, which makes understanding the lifecycle an important skill for every ADF application developer. This session explains the JavaServer Faces lifecycle from ground-up and how ADF fits into it. This session then continues discussing three popular use cases to provide expert insight to the lifecycle behavior and the required lifecycle manipulations to avoid developer frustration. Be aware the information in this sessions is not easy to digest and you want to plan in to watch it twice.

With JDeveloper 12c, Oracle has significantly improved the support for Apache Maven. Not only is there a new POM file editor, but also Maven plugins for both ojmake and ojdeploy. Discover the new features and see how you can create new Maven-enabled ADF applications and also add Maven support to existing ADF applications. If you don't know what Maven is, this ADF Insider will explain the basics of Maven as well as some of the more advanced features.

In this ADF Insider we investigate the ADF Request Analyzer, a tool within JDeveloper's Oracle Diagnostic Log Analyzer which is designed to help you understand the runtime behaviour of your program, including looking under the covers of the JSF & ADF Lifecycle. The ADF Request Analyzer is therefore an excellent debugging aid in assisting developers with building their ADF applications.
