Although there have been preview releases available for some time, last week the production release of JDeveloper 11g came out. And because I finally had some time to have a look at it, I decided to give it a go. I have been using JDeveloper since version 3.1 and as you can imagine, I have [...]

As I have posted before we are using XFire to implement our web service. Unfortunately, we are running into some serious issues with the framework, so we decided to look after another implementation.

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 [...]

For my current project we are building an application with Oracle ADF 10.1.3.3 (ADF BC + JSF). One of the functionalities they want is to show images that were stored in a Blob field in the database at a JSF page. After a short search it appeared that this can be rather easily done if [...]
