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.

Preface

Searching case insensitively using view criteria


This recipe shows you a technique that you can use to handle case-insensitive (or case sensitive for that matter) searching for strings, when using view criteria for a view object. The framework provides various methods, such as setUpperColumns() and isUpperColumns(), for instance, at various view criteria levels (ViewCriteria, ViewCriteriaRow and ViewCriteriaItem) that can be used to construct generic helper methods to handle case searching. This technique can be used to allow case-insensitive or case-sensitive searches in your application based on some controlling user interface component or some application configuration option. For instance, a custom search form can be constructed with a checkbox component indicating whether the search will be case sensitive or not.

Getting ready

You will need to have access to the shared components workspace that was developed in the Breaking up the application in multiple workspaces recipe in Chapter...
