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. "Oracle JDeveloper 11gR2 Cookbook"ù is a task-based guide to the complete lifecycle of Fusion Web Application development using Oracle JDeveloper 11gR2 and ADF.You will get quickly up and running with concepts like setting up Application Workspaces and Projects, before delving into specific Business Components such as Entity Objects, View Objects, Application Modules and more. Along the way you will encounter even more practical recipes about ADF Faces UI components and Backing Beans, and the book rounds off by covering security, session timeouts and exceptions.With "Oracle JDeveloper 11gR2 Cookbook"ù in hand you will be equipped with the practical knowledge of a range of ready to use implementation cases which can be applied to your own Fusion Web ADF Applications.

Introduction


JDeveloper and ADF (Application Development Framework) are amazing technologies. What makes them even more incredible is their sheer complexity and the amount of knowledge and effort that lies covered underneath the declarative, almost magical frontend. What amazes me is that once you scratch the surface, you never stop realizing how much you really don't know. Given this complexity, it becomes obvious that certain development guidelines and practices must be established and followed early in the architectural and design phases of an ADF project.

This chapter presents a number of recipes that are geared towards establishing some of these development practices. In particular, you will see content that serves as a starting point in making your own application modular when using the underlying technologies. You will also learn the importance of extending the Business Components framework (ADF-BC) base classes early in the development cycle. We will talk about the importance of laying out other application foundational components, such as logging and exceptions, again early in the development process, and continue with addressing reusability and consistency at the ViewController layer.

The chapter starts with a recipe about installing and configuring JDeveloper on Linux. So, let's get started and don't forget, have fun as you go along. If you get in trouble at any point, take a look at the accompanying source code and feel free to contact me anytime at .
