Chapter 1. Drag-and-Drop Building

Abstract

The secret behind the very high productivity that Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) offers is the ability to build a lot of functionality without writing code. When building ADF applications, you should aim to write as little code as possible, using JDeveloper to drag and drop together the initial version of every page in your application.This chapter explains how to use the ADF Business Component wizards and the graphical task flow builder, and how to build pages with automatic data binding.

Chapter 4. Business Logic

Abstract

The secret behind the very high productivity that Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) offers is the ability to build a lot of functionality without writing code. When building ADF applications, you should aim to write as little code as possible, using JDeveloper to drag and drop together the initial version of every page in your application. However, ADF allows you to add your own business logic written in Java or Groovy. This chapter describes how to add logic to business components to implement the specific functionality your application needs.

Chapter 5. Presentation Logic

Abstract

ADF handles all the basic functionality of getting data from the database onto the web page, accepting changes, and storing data back. But when you want to implement your own special way of handling the user interface, you need to start writing code. This chapter describes how to add logic to the presentation layer, using prebuilt UI component validators (declarative), managed beans (server-side Java code), and custom client-side JavaScript code

Chapter 6. Logging and Debugging

Abstract

You’ve seen how to build an ADF application with powerful declarative features, and how to add your own business logic to both the business component and the user interface layer. However, sometimes your application doesn’t work quite the way you expect it to. This chapter describes how to use ADF logging and debugging features to find problems in your application.
