New times bring new opportunities. Although I had a great time setting up my own company ‘PALMA IT’ I decided it was time for the next step.
Redstream is a fresh new company specialized in integration technologies in the most broad sense of the word. The company is started by enthusiastic general specialists with many years [...]
In one of our screens in our application (ADF BC + JSF) we had to make it possible to quickly enter data (to insert new records) without having to select a dropdown or List of Values, but with validation against the database. To implement this, we make use of PPR (Partial Page Rendering, a great [...]
If you have to use a where-clause being based on session-scoped parameters in several viewobjects, it might be good to know you also have a session scope in Oracle’s ADF BC Application Module. You get access to it by simply calling getSession() in your ApplicationModule. On the Session object which you then receive, you can [...]
For an Oracle ADF application (ADF BC + JSF 10.1.3.3) we are using a customized skin. This is a very powerful technique to have the look and feel of a JSF application being based on the companies wishes. With a few changes in an existing skin (that is for instance supplied by Oracle) you can [...]

Let us first look at how to create a multi select table. Because this can’t be done [...]
Here is another kind of basic thing that you would like with ADF Faces but that just isn’t very intuitive. Imagine you have JSF page and you just drag-and-dropped a View Object at it as a selectable Read-Only table. Now when the ‘Select’ button, that is added automatically, is clicked you want to do [...]
I don’t know if it is just a coincidence but at almost all the Oracle ADF projects (ADF Business Components + Struts or JSF) I have done until now there was a need for additional functionality with which the user could duplicate a row and then modify it. After reinventing this thing several times, [...]
When your going to develop software in a team you will almost certainly need a source versioning system. Even if you develop the software all by yourself, it can be handy to use version control, in case you want to go back to an early release of your software. Luckily, version control can be considered [...]
In an upcoming project, I have to work with the Oracle Internet Directory. The situation: there are some existing Oracle Report and Forms applications. I will help them to develop their first Oracle ADF application. All these applications will use SSO for the authentication and autorisation. The accounts for the SSO are stored in OID. [...]
