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 [...]

When you are just starting with Oracle ADF and JDeveloper, there are a lot of tutorials and hands-on documents which you can use to build your first ADF application. The embedded OC4J in JDeveloper makes it very easy to develop and test your application. But at some point you want to deploy your application to [...]

When combining Oracle ADF and Oracle Reports, you might want to open a report in a new window by clicking a button in a ADF page. Anyway, this is exactly what I wanted on my latest project. When searching the internet I did find this post that describes a possible solution. But this solution wasn’t [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

In a former post I described how you could get access to the selected row in you af:table in your backing bean. This post takes it a step further and shows you how to deal with a multiselect table.
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, [...]
