Thursday, August 30th, 2007Eric Marcoux, Senior Consultant of Fujitsu Consulting, talks about a successful implementation of ADF and ADF Faces for La Capitale General Insurance.

ADF: Parameters vs. Variables
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007Two binding elements of a pageDef file are parameters and variables. Variables are value holders in the pageDef file that e.g. are bound to input text fields through attribute bindings that are mapped to the variable. This way it is possible to declaratively build search pages in which the user enters data that is then [...]
Oracle JDeveloper / ADF Customer Success Stories Page on OTN
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007Usually the first question you get when talking about new technologies is "do you have a reference of who is using it?". This question is almost natural because nobody wants to bet on the wrong horse when planning for his/her next generation software stack to build mission critical applications.

ADF Faces: Detecting and handling user session expiry
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007A frequent question on the JDeveloper OTN forum, and also one that has been asked by customers directly, is how to detect and graceful handle user session expiry due to user inactivity.

JDeveloper 11 – ADF Faces RC: Stop client to server event propagation
Thursday, August 16th, 2007I started the work on a page that compiles JavaScript programming nuggets for ADF Faces RC. The goal is to release code snippets on my blog or in a how-to document when we go production to supplement the ADF FAces RC documentation, which I can attest is great (already to this time in the game). [...]

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007The following usecase was reported on the JDeveloper forum on OTN:
A Swing table contains data that should be copied to the input text fields - Swing JTextField - of the parameter form for a method. While the reporting user was able to copy over the values, the added values weren't recognized and thus not send [...]
What if there was a conference for Forms developers only? Would you join ?
Tuesday, August 14th, 2007ODTUG hosts the biggest Forms conference of the year in October 9-10 in San Mateo, California. Forms-A-Lot is all about Oracle Forms, possibly the oldest still active flag ship technology in application development. As a Forms Product Manager still I couldn't be more excited to hear that the Oracle Forms community puts their favorite tool [...]
ADF: Using a Web Service result as an input argument to ExecuteWithParams

The example I built is [...]
