Dynamic Tabs Shell template - useful to mere mortals?

sim...@veriton.co.uk (Simon Haslam) — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:05:53 UT

Yesterday I had a look into the new Dynamic Tabs Shell template, as
delivered in 11gR1 PS1. I wrote a blog posting about it here:

Now my question is, how useful will this template be to custom/bespoke
app developments of a much more modest size than Fusion Apps? I've

How about a document on Anti Patterns?

jvs...@gmail.com (Jang Vijay Singh) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:49:44 UT

This recent discussion ([link]
browse_thread/thread/85789753d 19d1aeb)
prompted me to think of another document on common ADF anti-patterns/
bad practices parallel to the Coding Standards document.
I have read some good tips on what *not* to do by Steve Muench and the

A new way for post-query (description field) without using the EO or get accessor pls give me your feedback.

Dear All,

Regarding the post-query,(using for getting the description field
which is in another table such as viewing the name of department when
there is only department_id in the VO of employee) as you now we have
2 common ways to handle that first is to use two EO that there is an
association between them which one of them is updatable and the other

Standards around Model / UI project dependencies

Hello Everyone,

This is my first post to the group and I look forward to exchanging
ideas with all of you. I am very passionate about getting this
excellent technology widely adopted and in the right way.

I did search the group for existing posts on this topic but didn't
find any.

I think one point that merits an addition to the standards is for

DB API-based ADF Business Components

Hi all,

Not 100% sure this is appropriate here--mods, please delete if it
isn't.

I wanted to announce an ADF project I just started on SampleCode: A
completely rewritten framework for DB API-based ADF Business
Components. The first public beta version (0.1b) is available for
download now, but I'm especially interested in finding any community

Reuse - Base class for backing beans

jcfl...@excite.com (John Flack) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:40:48 UT

I found that there were some methods that I was writing again and
again in backing beans. So I finally wrote my own backing bean base
class, and now all my backing beans subclass it. Anybody else doing
this? Good idea or bad? Another approach is to write utility classes
like Steve Muench;s EL class, and call the utility methods where

Reuse - Do you have your own subclasses of ADF BC Impl classes?

jcfl...@excite.com (John Flack) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:33:02 UT

What the subject says -
I've heard Steve Muench and others state as a best practice that you
should always subclass ADF BC's implementation classes even if you
don't plan at first to write any of your own code in them. The idea
is that if you later decide to add some code you have a place to put

PL/SQL global context and global temporary table in ADF

cdihe...@gmail.com (Chetan Dihenia) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 02:44:28 UT

Hi All,
I have read many different topics around lots of PL/SQL and ADF. I
still want to start this new thread to address one of our biggest road
block of ADF project. Our current project has so many PL/SQL code and
many API calls involve PL/SQL global context setting where other PL/
SQL APIs depend on last calls. Also there are some Global Temporary

One Model Project and two viewProjects

mar...@santoandrea.com.br (Marcos Ortega) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:04:43 UT

When we disign applications in jDev; we are quite driven to share model
projects directly into viewProjects;
The real fact is that model projects, are not to be directly shared by
diferrents viewProjects; at least in my tests here;
how to deal with it ?

Thread hijacking - not to worry

chriscm...@gmail.com (Chris Muir) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 01:27:59 UT

As Avrom has noted threads are getting accidentally hijacked in the
Google Group.

My understanding is this occurs because at some point somebody takes
one of the original emails, replies, changes the subject line and
sends it back in. Apparently Google Groups doesn't track threads by
the subject line but some other mechanism, and will happily allow the

which method is standard for primary-key in ADF 11g? (DBSequence or uncheck mandatory for PK in EO)

amir.kha...@gmail.com (amir hosein khanof) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 10:40:45 UT

Dear All,
I want to bring a new discussion about standard way of implementing PK in
ADF.
I always use DBSEquece for primary key but many are using another way that
is:
uncheck the mandatory field for the attribute with primary-key in the EO,and
ADF in working with null value in pk and suprisingly it is working!

The ideal ADF team

Hi all,

We've been discussing skills and training a couple of times in the
group, so I thought it would be a good idea to start a skills list -
what are the skills you want on your ADF Dream Team?

Here's a couple of ideas to get the discussion going:

Java skills
Java (as a language - basic skills)

Template ADF app - what web.xml error-codes do you include for ADF applications?

chriscm...@gmail.com (Chris Muir) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 02:57:00 UT

Hi all

At my current client we've been working on building an ADF Fusion
application template that includes bits 'n' bobs required for all of
our applications beyond what JDev creates out of the box via the
Application Wizard. For example by default we setup our package
structures in the Model and ViewController projects (ie. the Model is
