Overview of this book

Oracle's Application Development Framework (ADF) for Fusion Web Applications leverages Java EE best practices and proven design patterns to simplify constructing complex web solutions with JDeveloper, and this hands-on, task-based cookbook enables you to realize those complex, enterprise-scale applications. With the help of real-world implementations, practical recipes cover everything from design and construction, to deployment, testing, debugging and optimization. This practical, task-based cookbook takes you, the ADF developer, on a practical journey for building Fusion Web Applications. By implementing a range of real world use cases, you will gain invaluable and applicable knowledge for utilizing the ADF framework with JDeveloper 11gR2.

Preface

Using an af:popup during long running tasks


For long-running tasks in your application, a pop-up message window can be raised to alert the users that the specific task may take a while. This can be accomplished using a combination of ADF Faces components (af:popup and af:dialog) and some JavaScript code.

In this recipe, we will initiate a long-running task in a managed bean, and raise a pop-up for the duration of the task to alert us to the fact that this operation may take awhile. We will hide the pop-up once the task completes.

Getting ready

You will need to create a skeleton Fusion Web Application (ADF) workspace before you proceed with this recipe. For this, we will use the MainApplication workspace that was developed in Breaking up the application in multiple workspaces, Chapter 1,Pre-requisites to Success: ADF Project Setup and Foundations.

How to do it…

  1. 1. Open the MainApplication workspace and create a new JSPX page called longRunningTask.jspx based on any of the quick start layouts...
