You should read my previous post about detail information how to configure MAF with WebSocket - Oracle MAF and WebSockets Integration - Live Twitter Stream.In this post I...

The results were very impressive, as the  UI is not only more appealing, but also offers a guided experience, which prevents errors...

Since a few years, Mobile is an up-and-coming trend in digital evolution and a key factor for digital transformation.
