1. Deploying and Developing Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) Applications
  2. Overview

Overview

Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) is an end-to-end application framework that builds on Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) standards and open-source technologies to simplify and accelerate implementing service-oriented applications. Oracle ADF is an extension to JDeveloper.

With Oracle ADF, you can create Oracle ADF web applications for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne (also referred to as EnterpriseOne ADF applications) that interact with standard or customized EnterpriseOne applications. Oracle ADF enables you to retrieve data from custom EnterpriseOne applications by using existing business logic within your EnterpriseOne applications.

Oracle provides JDE ADF Helpers that include APIs and tools that you can use with Oracle ADF to create EnterpriseOne ADF applications. See the JDE ADF Helpers section for more information.

You should refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developing Fusion Web Applications with Oracle Application Development Framework as a companion to this guide. The "Introduction to Building Fusion Web Applications with Oracle ADF" chapter in this guide provides a description of the architecture and key functionality of Oracle ADF to build web applications. When reviewing this guide, remember the following about EnterpriseOne ADF application development:

  • EnterpriseOne ADF applications are created utilizing ADF Task Flows.

  • EnterpriseOne ADF applications are packaged in ADF Library JAR files and built and deployed to run in the EnterpriseOne ADF Container.

  • You include methods in EnterpriseOne ADF applications to access features provided by the EnterpriseOne ADF Container, features that enable you to launch an EnterpriseOne menu task, launch an EnterpriseOne application, and display error and warning messages using the EnterpriseOne ADF Container's message popup dialog.
