Oracle ADF Components Understanding Oracle ADF
6.1.1.1 Oracle ADF Components
The core module in the framework is Oracle ADF Model, a declarative data binding facility that implements the JSR-227 specification. This specification provides an API for accessing declarative data binding metadata. The Oracle ADF Model layer enables a unified approach to bind any user interface to any business service, without the need to write code. The other modules that make up a Fusion web application technology stack are: ■ Oracle ADF Business Components, which simplifies building business services. ■ Oracle ADF Faces, which offers a rich library of AJAX-enabled UI components for Web applications built with JavaServer Faces JSF. ■ Oracle ADF Controller, which integrates JSF with Oracle ADF Model. The ADF Controller extends the standard JSF controller by providing additional functionality, such as reusable task flows that pass control not only between JSF pages, but also between other activities, for instance method calls or other task flows. Figure 6–2 illustrates where each Oracle ADF module fits in the Fusion web application architecture. Configuring High Availability for Oracle ADF and WebCenter Applications 6-3 Figure 6–2 Simple Oracle ADF Architecture6.1.1.1.1 ADF Business Components ADF Business Components are prebuilt application
objects that accelerate the job of delivering and maintaining high-performance, richly functional, database-centric services. When building service-oriented Java EE applications, developers implement the core business logic as one or more business services. These backend services provide clients with a way to query, insert, update, and delete business data as required while enforcing appropriate business rules. ADF Business Components provides a ready-to-use implementation of Java EE design patterns and best practices. Oracle ADF Business Components provides the following key components to simplify building database-centric business services: ■ Entity object An entity object represents a row in a database table and simplifies modifying its data by handling all data manipulation language DML operations. It can encapsulate business logic to ensure that business rules are consistently enforced. Developers can associate an entity object with others to reflect relationships in the underlying database schema to create a layer of business domain objects to reuse in multiple applications. ■ View object A view object represents a SQL query and simplifies working with its results. Developers use the SQL language to join, project, filter, sort, and aggregate data into the shape required by the end-user task being represented in the user interface. This includes the ability to link a view object with other entity objects to create master-detail hierarchies of any complexity. When end users modify data in the user interface, view objects collaborate with entity objects to consistently validate and save the changes. ■ Application module An application module is the transactional component that UI clients use to work with application data. It defines an updateable data model and top-level procedures and functions called service methods related to a logical unit of work related to an end-user task. 6-4 Oracle Fusion Middleware High Availability Guide For more information about Oracle ADF Business Components, go to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Fusion Developers Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework.6.1.1.1.2 ADF Model Layer In the model layer, Oracle ADF Model implements the
JSR-227 service abstraction called the data control. Data controls abstract the implementation technology of a business service by using standard metadata interfaces to describe the service’s operations and data collections, including information about the properties, methods, and types involved. In Oracle JDeveloper, developers can view that information as icons that they can easily drag and drop onto a page. When the developer drags the representation of the service onto the page, Oracle JDeveloper automatically creates the bindings from the page to the services. At runtime, the ADF Model layer reads the information describing the application’s data controls and data bindings from appropriate XML files and implements the two-way connection between the user interface and the application’s business service. Oracle ADF provides out-of-the-box data control implementations for the most common business service technologies. Using Oracle JDeveloper and Oracle ADF together provides a declarative, drag-and-drop data binding experience for building user interfaces. Along with support for ADF Business Components application modules, ADF Model also provides support for the following service technologies: ■ Enterprise JavaBeans EJB session beans and JPA entities ■ JavaBeans ■ Web services ■ XML ■ CSV files For more information about Oracle ADF Model, go to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Fusion Developers Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework.6.1.1.1.3 ADF Controller In the controller layer, where handling page flow of the web
applications is a key concern, ADF Controller provides an enhanced navigation and state management model on top of JSF. JDeveloper supports declarative creation of task flows that can manage application control between different types of activities, such as pages, methods on managed beans, declarative case statements, or calls to other task flows. For more information about Oracle ADF Controller, go to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Fusion Developers Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework.6.1.1.1.4 ADF Faces Rich Client ADF Faces rich client ADF Faces for short, is a set of
standard JSF components that include built-in AJAX functionality. AJAX is a combination of asynchronous JavaScript, dynamic HTML DHTML, XML, and XmlHttpRequest communication channel. This combination allows requests to be made to the server without fully rerendering the page. While AJAX allows rich client-like applications to use standard internet technologies, JSF provides server-side control, which reduces the dependency on an abundance of JavaScript often found in typical AJAX applications. ADF Faces provides over 100 rich components, including hierarchical data tables, tree menus, in-page dialogs, accordions, dividers, and sortable tables. ADF Faces also provides ADF Data Visualization components, which are Flash- and SVG-enabled components capable of rendering dynamic charts, graphs, gauges, and other graphics that can provide a real-time view of underlying data. Each component also supports customization and skinning, along with internationalization and accessibility. Configuring High Availability for Oracle ADF and WebCenter Applications 6-5 To achieve these front-end capabilities, ADF Faces components use a rendering kit that handles displaying the component and also provides the JavaScript objects needed for the rich functionality. This built-in support enables developers to build rich applications without needing extensive knowledge of the individual technologies on the front or back end. For more information about ADF Faces, including the architecture and detailed information about each of the components, go to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Web User Interface Developers Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework.6.1.1.2 Oracle ADF Single Node Architecture
