ADF Adventures

I'm going to show you in this article how to get a the ADF databindings in this case from a POJO to deploy in JBoss5GA.This is article is the second part of a previous post. As you will notice after reading this post, approach that I follow this time differs from the one in the first part regarding the location of the libraries and the addition of the JBoss classloader into my project.

The first step is to create our sample project that uses the POJO datacontrol to expose data from out java class to our WebUI. The structure of my project is shown in the image, the first new element that appears is the jboss-web.xml which we are going to use to define our own class loading configuration for our project.

The jboss-web.xml file contains:

  1: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  2:  <!DOCTYPE jboss-web PUBLIC
  3:     "-//JBoss//DTD Web Application 5.0//EN"
  4:     "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-web_5_0.dtd">
  5: 
  6: <jboss-web>
  7:     <class-loading>
  8:         <loader-repository>
  9:             com.oracle.adfpojo:loader=adfm.jar
 10:             <loader-repository-config>java2ParentDelegation=true</loader-repository-config>
 11:         </loader-repository>
 12:     </class-loading>
 13: </jboss-web>

The loader repository setting points to any of the jars that are included into our WAR file. The last step is to include all of the necessary libraries into our project and deployment profile.In the project properties make sure the following libraries as well as individual jar files are selected.

Then on your WAR deployment profile under libraries you should have the following list of jars selected:

adf-controller-api.jar
adf-controller.jar
adf-controller-rt-common.jar
adf-dt-at-rt.jar
adfdt_common.jar
adf-faces-databinding-rt.jar
adflogginghandler.jar
adfm.jar
adfmweb.jar
adf-pageflow-dtrt.jar
adf-pageflow-fwk.jar
adf-pageflow-impl.jar
adf-pageflow-rc.jar
adf-richclient-api-11.jar
adf-richclient-impl-11.jar
adf-share-base.jar
adf-share-ca.jar
adf-share-support.jar
adf-transactions-dt.jar
cache.jar
commons-cli-1.0.jar
commons-el.jar
db-ca.jar
dms.jar
dvt-databindings.jar
dvt-facesbindings.jar
dvt-faces.jar
dvt-jclient.jar
dvt-utils.jar
groovy-all-1.5.4.jar
identitystore.jar
inspect4.jar
javatools-nodeps.jar
javax.xml.bind_2.1.3.jar
jaxb-impl_2.1.3.jar
jdev-cm.jar
jewt4.jar
jmxframework.jar
jmxspi.jar
jps-api.jar
jps-common.jar
jsf-api.jar
jsf-ri.jar
jsp-el-api.jar
jstl.jar
mdsrt.jar
oc4j-unsupported-api.jar
ojdbc5.jar
ojmisc.jar
oracle-el.jar
oracle.ucp_11.1.0.7.0.jar
share.jar
trinidad-api.jar
trinidad-impl.jar
weblogic-injection-provider.jar
xmlef.jar
xml.jar
xmlparserv2.jar

After that you can deploy your War file to JBoss.
