Images are heavily used in Mobile apps. For instance a list that contains employees usually shows the images of these employees. This works well when you have a WIFI connection, but what if you are using slower connections ? If you look at a mobile twitter app you will see that, depending on connectivity, images are loaded instantaneously or delayed. In this post I explain how you can load the images of a List in a background process, after the other content has been loaded. As...

Previously I had a post about dynamic ADF attribute binding creation and dynamic ADF form generation - Adaptive Form with Dynamic ADF Attribute Value Binding. Blog reader was asking how to generate dynamic ADF LOV binding using similar approach. This is possible and actually documented in Eugene Fedorenko post here - Dynamic LOV binding. I will use the same piece of code to extend my sample application with dynamic ADF LOV binding support.Here you can download updated...

The Oracle SOA Suite provides an Audit Trail monitor screen where the message flow between the different SCA composites can be tracked. Depending on the audit level, it can provide a very detailed chronology of the different states of the message, including the first component that receives the messages, its correspondent transformation along the way, and the routing it’s final destination. Nevertheless, a SOA platform is intended to integrate not only internal composites but...

In the previous blog entries I showed you how to create an ADF project that uses the new Alta UI and then showed you an example of implementing one of the design patterns for a flip card. In this blog/video I'm going to show you how you can further fine tune the look and feel of your Alta application by modifying and extending your skin with CSS. At the end of the day, this is going to be done in a similar way to how you skinned previous ADF applications. (If you have...

The Parking Lot Pattern has been leveraged in many Oracle SOA Suite deployments to handle complex batching, message correlation, and complex processing flows. One scenario that is a frequent topic of discussion is throttling SOA Suite so as not to overwhelm slower downstream systems. Most often this is accomplished via the tuning knobs within SOA Suite and WebLogic Server. However, there are times when the built-in tuning cannot be tweaked enough to stop flooding slower...

GlassFish 4.1 was released a couple of months ago now, bringing with it a large number of welcome bug fixes and improvements. As the Payara Open Source project was born from it, it would be remiss of us not give all of you who maintain an interest in GlassFish a brief overview of some of the things that have changed or been updated since 4.0. Among these changes, the minimum JDK version required is now 7 Update 65, or 8 Update 20, so you'll need to update if you intend to use...
