You might have noticed that I am working on a series of blog articles on using Selenium to automate testing of Oracle ADF applications. This includes work on a little framework to make this easier and a set of sample JUnit tests against the public Oracle ADF Faces 12c Components Demo. Getting the Faces 12c Component Demo running with test automation had some challenges. I wanted to write them down here in case somebody wants to try the same. It starts by downloading the Oracle...

Introduction In Part 1, we looked at the initialization of libOVD at server startup. Now let’s examine what happens inside libOVD when you actually click on the login button in BPM Workspace. Again, we are looking at BPM 11g PS5 BP7 with Patch 17315336. The Workspace login is a two step process. The first step is checking the username and password against the LDAP. This step is performed in WLS security layer rather than the JPS layer. This means even if you turn on tracing in...

Since I wrote about how to export table to Excel in Oracle ADF, it has been one of the most read blog posts. I know that the export of data is an important feature in an application, this way, I will show how to export rows (all or some) of the table as an XML file. Download the sample application: ADFXMLApp.zip. Create a new ADF application that will use data of employees. Go to EmployeesView View Object and generate the View Object Implementation Class. Copy the following...

Since Oracle BPM 12c was released this summer, many of our legacy BPM 10g customers have begun to ask what to expect from the migration path.  As my colleague Suyash Khot discussed in his article Oracle BPM 12c Migration - A Hand of Friendship to Oracle BPM 10g, Oracle has luckily given us a migration utility to kick-start the process of moving code from Oracle BPM 10g to Oracle BPM 12c.  While this utility is incredibly valuable and indeed very easy to use, it is well...

The German ADF community was established in 2009. Since then the community collaborated intensely and provided a lot of German content on the topic of ADF. A selection of these contributions that has originally been published in the period of 2010 to 2014 was put together by a small team (Oracle and partners supported by the DOAG) into the so called "ADF Buch". The ADF Buch contains articles, talks and workshop tutorials regarding the Oracle Application Development Framework...

I'm diving into the new topic - Adaptive Case Management 12c and ADF integration. Today will be the first post in the category and there are more posts planned for the future. I strongly believe that ACM (Adaptive Case Management) makes a great extension for standard BPM. Mainly because it allows to define a loose process, without strict order steps. Process steps can be executed in different order, depending on the situation requirements, at given time. I will be explaining...

Have you ever thought about run your ADF application on cloud? In this blog post I will show how to deploy local database tables and ADF application to Oracle Cloud using JDeveloper 11g. I would like to thank to my friend Jürgen Kress that gave me an Oracle Cloud’s licence. If you want you can get a free trial here: Oracle Cloud PaaS & SaaS Trials. Each Oracle Java Cloud Service instance must be associated with an Oracle Database Cloud Service instance that hosts the...

With the help of my A-Team colleagues (Sushil Shukla, Siming Mu, John Featherly, Pete Farkas), and based on collective experiences visiting numerous BPM customers worldwide, I have put together my “Top 10″ list of things everyone should know when embarking on a BPM project. You might agree, you might disagree, most of all, feel free to comment. 1. Auditing BPM provides the business with extremely detailed visibility of runtime instances through its powerful...
