This chapter includes the following sections:
The Summit sample application for ADF Desktop Integration is a set of sample demonstrations that illustrate the main capabilities from ADF Desktop Integration. Each of the samples contain specific features that can also be identified on the developer's guide. All of the samples use the same underlying database schema which makes it very easy for accessing the source code, and also to experience the runtime behavior in a standalone way.
Set up the development environment as described in Setting Up Your Development Environment before you download and run the Summit sample application for ADF Desktop Integration.
Running the Summit sample application for ADF Desktop Integration requires you to:
You download the application resources from Oracle Technology Network.
To download the Summit sample application for ADF Desktop Integration:
Download and install Oracle JDeveloper Release 12c. For more information, see Installing Oracle JDeveloper.
Download the Summit sample application for ADF Desktop Integration ZIP file from Oracle Technology Network.

Download and install the Summit ADF schema. For more information, see the "How to Install the Summit ADF Schema" section in Developing Fusion Web Applications with Oracle Application Development Framework.
Install ADF Desktop Integration. For more information, see Installing ADF Desktop Integration.
Note:
If you have an old version of ADF Desktop Integration installed on your system, upgrade ADF Desktop Integration as described in Upgrading ADF Desktop Integration.
To run the Summit sample application, extract the contents of the zip file and open the .JWS
file in JDeveloper.
To run the Summit sample application for ADF Desktop Integration:
Extract the contents the zip file to a local directory.
Open the SummitADFdi.jws
file in JDeveloper.
This file is located in the Summit_ADFDI
directory.
In the Applications window, click and expand the Model project.
Open Model > Application Sources > oracle.summitdi.model > Model.jpx file.
Expand the Connection group of the General tab, and click the Add icon to create a database connection.
In the Create Database Connection dialog, add the connection information shown in Table 2-1 for your environment.

Click Test Connection to verify the connection, and then click OK to close the dialog.
Save the Model.jpx
file.
Select the ViewController project and click the Run button in JDeveloper's main menu.
The Fusion web application in the Summit sample application for ADF Desktop Integration enables end users to download the integrated Excel workbooks.
When the end user runs the Summit sample application for ADF Desktop Integration in JDeveloper, the default browser opens the application home page. The end user can download various integrated Excel workbooks from the home page.

The Summit sample application for ADF Desktop Integration provides various integrated Excel workbooks to meet different requirements. End users can navigate and download different workbooks from the MainPage.jsf
of the application.
Table 2-2 lists the menu options and the downloaded integrated Excel workbooks.

The Summit sample application for ADF Desktop Integration provides the EditCustomers.xlsx
, EditWarehouses.xlsx
, EditCustomerSearch.xlsx
, and WarehouseLocations.xlsx
integrated Excel workbooks.
The EditCustomers.xlsx
workbook illustrates the most commonly used ADF Desktop Integration ADF Table component features. You can download, insert, update and commit data. It also demonstrates multiple ways to choose a value from a list of choices.
The EditWarehouseInventory.xlsx
workbook illustrates how to use ADF Desktop Integration form components with a detail table. You can download and update data in a master form and its detail table. This sample also demonstrates how to use workbook parameters to control the workbook initialization.
The EditAllInventory.xlsx
workbook demonstrates how to create an editable table with a denormalized master-detail relationship. It also demonstrates how to use a date picker, group columns, and delete existing data records.
The EditCustomerSearch.xlsx
workbook demonstrates how a custom web page can be used to perform a search prior to downloading data into an ADF Table component configured to be read-only.
Subsequent sections in this chapter provide more information about the functionality in the workbooks along with cross-references to implementation details.
At runtime, the integrated Excel workbooks in the Summit sample application for ADF Desktop Integration render an Excel ribbon tab that allows end users to log on to the Fusion web application. Figure 2-2 shows the runtime Customers tab in the Ribbon of the EditCustomers.xlsx
workbook.
Figure 2-2 Runtime Customers Tab
Some workbooks, such as EditCustomers.xlsx
workbook, use an ADF Table component to download information from the Fusion web application. This component allows end users to edit rows and upload modified rows to the Fusion web application.
The following sections provide information about how to implement the download functionality:
Each worksheet that you integrate with a Fusion web application requires an associated page definition file.
For example, the Customers
worksheet in the EditCustomers.xlsx
workbook is associated with the ExcelCustomers.xml
page definition file. In JDeveloper, expand the following nodes in the Applications window to view this file:
ViewController > Application Sources > oracle.summitdi.view > pageDefs
For information about how to configure a page definition file, see Working with Page Definition Files for an Integrated Excel Workbook.
The ADF Table component Download
action downloads data from the Fusion web application to the worksheet. For information about how you invoke this action, see Downloading Data to an ADF Table Component.
In the EditCustomers.xlsx
workbook, the worksheet Startup
event invokes an action set that includes the ADF Table component Download
action. For information about configuring worksheet events, see How to Invoke an Action Set from a Worksheet Event.
The EditCustomers.xlsx
and EditWarehouseInventory.xlsx
workbooks enable end users to edit customers and warehouses information that the ADF Table component and form components downloads from the Fusion web application. Columns in the runtime ADF Table component that have an UpdateComponent
property configured permit end users to modify values and upload the changes to the Fusion web application. For example, end users can modify the values that appear in the Name, Phone, and Address columns in EditCustomers.xlsx
.
Other columns, such as Status and Changed, appear in the ADF Table component to provide status information about upload operations and changed columns.
The following sections provide information about how to implement this functionality:
For information about inserting an ADF Table component, see Inserting an ADF Table Component into an Excel Worksheet.
For information about special columns, such as Status and Changed, see Special Columns in the ADF Table Component.
For information about action sets, see Adding Interactivity to Your Integrated Excel Workbook .
For information about lists of values, see Working with Lists of Values .
The integrated workbooks allow end users to upload modified data in the ADF Table component to the Fusion web application. An action set is configured for the runtime Upload ribbon command that invokes the ADF Table component's Upload
action. For information about implementing this functionality, see Uploading Changes from an ADF Table Component .
