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

Prerequisites

Complete the following prerequisites before deploying EnterpriseOne ADF applications:

Set Up an Environment for Deploying EnterpriseOne ADF Applications

If you have not already done so, set up the environment as described in Setting Up the Environment for Deploying EnterpriseOne ADF Applications of this guide.

Set Up Oracle WebLogic Server to Use wldeploy

The build scripts use the wldeploy task to deploy artifacts to server instances or clusters on Oracle WebLogic Server. Therefore, you need to set up the environment to use the wldeploy task according to instructions in the Basic Steps for Using wldeploy section of the "wldeploy Ant Task Reference" chapter in the Oracle® Fusion Middleware: Developing Applications for Oracle WebLogic Server12c Release 1(12.1.1) guide.

When following the instructions in this chapter, remember these details about the build scripts:

  • The scripts must execute on a machine with an Oracle WebLogic Server installation to access the wldeploy task definition class. The server can be a standalone Oracle WebLogic Server or an integrated Oracle WebLogic Server instance included with a JDeveloper install.

  • You execute the deploy targets from the Ant scripts using the command line.

Download EnterpriseOne ADF Foundation

Download the latest E1_ADF_Foundation_1.x.x from the JD Edwards Update Center (https://updatecenter.oracle.com). To locate the download, enter EnterpriseOne ADF in the Type field and select All 9.x Releases in the Release field and click Search.

E1_ADF_Foundation_1.x.x contains the following files:

  • Ant Build Scripts (folder). This folder contains the following files that you use to build EnterpriseOne ADF applications for deployment in the EnterpriseOne ADF Container:

    - E1 ADF Container/build.xml

    - E1 ADF Container/build.properties

    - E1 ADF Container/UpdateURLConnections.xsl

    - E1 ADF Application/build.xml

    - E1 ADF Application/build.properites

  • ADF 12.1.3 Container and ADF 12.2.1 Container. Both of these folders contain files for deploying ADF applications. The files that you use depend on the version of Oracle WebLogic Server (with ADF runtime) that you set up to deploy your ADF applications: Oracle WebLogic Server 12.1.3 or Oracle WebLogic Server 12.2.1. Both folders contain the following files:

    • JDEADFContainer.ear file. This file contains the EnterpriseOne ADF Container application.

    • E1UserSession.jar file. This file is not used for deployment, but contains helper classes required for developing EnterpriseOne ADF applications. If you plan to develop EnterpriseOne ADF applications, see EnterpriseOne ADF Application Development Resources for more information.

Download a Prebuilt EnterpriseOne ADF Application (Optional)

If you want to use a prebuilt EnterpriseOne ADF application, download the version of the prebuilt EnterpriseOne ADF application available for your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools release. A prebuilt EnterpriseOne ADF application download contains ADF Library JAR file artifacts that are used to build and deploy the prebuilt application.
