This post explains how Fn users can use GraalVM and the benefits GraalVM and its Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compiler bring to Serverless Java functions. Introduction Fn Project is an open-source, container-native, polyglot FaaS (Function as a Service) platform. Fn is open-source, one can run Fn on-premises and/or in the cloud; running Fn on a laptop is also convenient for experimentation and development. Fn is container-native as it leverages Docker. In a nutshell, serverless functions are automatically wrapped into Docker container images (but advanced users can also provide their own Dockerfile!). Fn will take care of all the plumbing, from the creation of the function Docker image to the interaction between the function and the Fn platform to the scaling of this same function, etc. Finally, Fn is polyglot as it offers multiple FDKs (Function Development Kit) to easily write serverless functions using popular languages such as Java, Go, Node, etc. And given that Fn uses Docker under the hood, it is also trivial to add support for additional languages. GraalVM is an open source high-performance embeddable polyglot virtual machine that recently sparked a lot of interests in the Java community as it supports Java and other JVM languages such as Groovy, Kotlin, Scala, etc. In addition, GraalVM also supports JavaScript (including the ability to run Node.js applications), Ruby, R, Python and even native languages that have an LLVM backend such as C or C++. GraalVM is incredibly powerful and versatile, it can help in many ways from boosting the performance of Java applications to enabling polyglot applications development that combine different languages in order to to get the best tools and features from different ecosystems. For example, using GraalVM, it is possible to use R for data visualization, Python for machine learning and JavaScript to combine those two functionalities together.

As a Product Manager who does some weekend hacking, I love finding open source projects and technologies that help demonstrate important concepts in the web services world. As I crawl up the technology learning curve it’s great to take seemingly abstract concepts such as containers and serverless and employ them in simple but illustrative ways. I was an early user of Iron.io for hosted workers and enthusiastically followed co-founders Chad Arimura (@chadarimura) and Travis Reeder (@treeder) as Iron.io gained traction in the marketplace. When I heard that Chad and Travis’ focus moved to the Fn Project, I jumped at the chance to try it to build a deeper understanding of serverless and FaaS. I deployed the Fn server to a Digital Ocean “droplet” and never looked back. I used the Fn Project to support prototypes and personal projects so my requirements were rudimentary such as functions for messaging (text, email) and basic file processing. One need that surfaced was invoking functions in a more secure manner. Since my deployment was exposed to the web rather than behind an enterprise or cloud firewall, that meant at least making https requests. What was not on my short list of concepts to learn was complex web server configuration and obtaining SSL certificates. Enter Caddy, one of my other favorite open source projects from Matt Holt (@mholt6) and a team of fellow contributors. Caddy (https://caddyserver.com/) is an open source web server and an early player in automatic provisioning of free SSL certificates (Let’s Encrypt certs).

This article highlights a use case implementation I recently implemented (for a demo session) leveraging Oracle Functions as well as OKE (Oracle Kubernetes Engine), Object Storage and Elastic Search. I will briefly touch upon some of the interesting aspects of implementing this case. The code for the function and its deployment can be found in this GitHub repo: https://github.com/lucasjellema/soaring-logisticsms-shippings-reporter-func . The next figure illustrates the story of this article: a CSV file is produced every 25 minutes on Object Storage with the Shipping records retrieved from the Elastic Search index inside the Logistics MS. This is done by an Oracle Function. 1. A CronJob on Kubernetes runs every 25 minutes. 2. It runs a container that contains the OCI Functions Java SDK and a small Java application to invoke the Function. The input to the function is passed from the CronJob to this Java application and from there to the Function (note: Oracle Functions will shortly supported scheduled execution of Functions; at that time, steps 1 and 2 in this picture are replaced with a single scheduling definition 3. The Function runs in the managed Oracle Functions FaaS environment, a serverless execution for which I only provided the (Node) code. 4. The shippings-reporter-func function invokes the Logistics microservice to retrieve today’s shipping details. This call is received on the IngressController on the Kubernetes cluster.

Join AMIS and Oracle for a Developer Meetup January 20th 2020 in Utrecht. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) biedt een palet aan cloud native platform services waarmee dynamisch schaalbare applicatie architecturen kunnen worden gerealiseerd – tegen aantrekkelijke voorwaarden. Met en combinatie van serverless Functions (op basis van Docker Container Images) en de nieuwe API Gateway kunnen APIs worden geïmplementeerd en gepubliceerd. De Streaming [Event Queue] service voorziet in ontkoppelde interacties. OCI Monitoring kan worden benut voor time-scheduling van functies en voor bewaking van beschikbaarheid en responsetijden. Object Storage vormt een persistente opslag waar de functies gebruik van kunnen maken. Een Cache is niet out of the box beschikbaar, maar kan wel gerealiseerd worden. De cloud native, fully managed platform services zijn concurrerend geprijsd, gemakkelijk te gebruiken en benaderbaar via console, CLI en REST APIs. Geen van deze services is een vervolg op een traditioneel Oracle (middleware) product – deze services zijn ‘geboren in de cloud’. In deze sessie maak je kennis met de meest prominente cloud native services op Oracle Cloud Infrastructure – in de vorm van presentatie en discussie, demonstratie en een workshop waarin jezelf aan de slag gaat met ondermeer: • Project Fn en Serverless Functions op Oracle Cloud Infrastructure • API Gateway • Streams (managed event platform, vergelijkbaar met Apache Kafka) • Monitoring • Object Storage Na afloop heb je een goed beeld van hoe cloud native op Oracle Cloud Infrastructure eruit ziet en kan worden toegepast. Je hebt hands-on ervaring opgedaan met verschillende OCI services en je begrijpt hoe deze services in een oplossing kunnen worden ingezet. Voor de workshop moet je zelf een laptop meebrengen met daarop een browser, liefst ook Postman of een ander tool voor het aanroepen van REST APIs. We zorgen dat Katacoda en een OCI Tenancy als workshop-omgeving voor je klaar staan. Datum: maandag 20 januari Tijd: 17.30 diner, 18.00 start van workshop Locatie: AMIS, Edisonbaan 15, Nieuwegein Spreker: Lucas Jellema Doelgroep: Cloud Platform specialist, Software Architect, (Cloud Native) Software Developer For details please visit the registration page here.

In one of my current bigger ADF projects (yes, there are still big ADF projects!) I had a problem with the ‘executeWithParams’ operation binding called from a bean. To understand the problem I first give a brief description. Problem We have a special string column in some of our VOs. For this column, there is a bind parameter which is added to the where clause of the VO. Getter and setter for this bind parameters are generated to be able to set this parameter safely. In the setter method, some checks are done and special formatting is applied to the passed value. Now we used the VOs executeWithParams operation to create a search form. Hitting the button to execute the query gave us a wrong result. As it turned out, that the execWithParams operation passes the parameters to the VO but it doesn’t use the getter/setter methods for the parameter. The parameters are directly set into the slots by the VariableManager. Solutions We want to transform or convert the given parameter right in the query. This way the developer doesn’t need to think about or to remember that there should be a transformation of the parameter. A central solution is preferred. Two solutions come to mind.

In this short post I am going to show a simple approach to make sure that your ADF application running inside a Docker container is a healthy Java application in terms of memory utilization. I am going to use a standard tool JConsole which comes as a part of JDK installation on your computer. If there is a problem (i.e. a memory leak,  often GCs, long GCs, etc.) you will see it with JConsole. In an effort to analyze the root of the problem and find the solution you might want to use more powerful and fancy tools. I will discuss that in one of my following posts. A story of tuning JVM for an ADF application is available here. So there is an ADF application running on top of Tomcat. The application and the Tomcat are packaged into a Docker container running on dkrlp01.flexagon host. There are some slides on running an ADF application in a Docker container.

We are using Nginx web server for Oracle ADF WorkBetter hosted demo hosted on DigitalOcean cloud server. Nginx helps to serve web application content fast and offer improved performance. One of the important tuning options - content compression, Nginx does this job well and is simple to setup. Content compression doesn't provide direct runtime performance, a browser would run the same code, doesn't matter it was compressed or not. But it brings improved perceived performance (which is very important), network time is way faster, because of reduced content size. Oracle ADF is a server-side framework, each request would bring content from the server - faster this content comes, means better application performance. 1. Content Compression = OFF Let see stats, when no content compression applied (using our Oracle ADF WorkBetter hosted demo). Page load size is 2.69 MB transferred.

Back in 2015 I wrote a blog entry to help our customers get a clear picture about the Oracle ADF vs Oracle JET "debate", over the years I kept pointing people to this writeup as a simple summary of what we are aiming to do and as a guideline for picking the technology you should use. However, the technology world is an ever changing place, and I believe that it is time to do a bit of an update of that entry to reflect the current status. While the basic distinctions between the two technologies have not changed, specifically: · ADF for Java developer, JET for JavaScript developer · ADF is server side framework, JET is client side focused · ADF is both front and back-end framework, JET is UI layer only Some of the surrounding eco-system has changed and evolved. Client-Centric Architecture Momentum Over the past several years we saw an increase in the adoption of UI development that is focused around JavaScript-based client layer. This is something you can see for example in the results from the Stackoverflow yearly survey - back in 2016 JavaScript was used by 54% of developers and in 2018 the number stood at ~70%.

Since the introduction of web components (formerly known as CCAs) in Oracle JET, the HTML development pattern has become quite standardized for a developer. Almost all the UI components provided by JET development team have now been converted into custom elements, with their own set of properties, methods, events, etc. However, there are times when your business use-case may not be sufficiently fulfilled by the components provided by default, and you may need to stretch them. One such recent use case was to return some extra information from an event raised by a JET custom element.

I will show it in this example. Example of the data entry form. Validation logic: - Invoice Date before Payment Due Date and Payment Date - Payment Due Date before Payment Date Example when two fields fail validation: JET provides component called validation group. Form can be wrapped by this component to identify if any validation errors are reported there.

The business object layer in Visual Builder allows you to add business logic that can implement functionality on your data layer. In this blog we are going to show you how to use such a function to iterate over a set of records in a parent/child relationship, and update a set of records in a single REST call, as well as how to invoke that function from your visual builder UI. It's worth mentioning here that these functions can also be invoked from other applications that need access to your business services. Our example is a master/detail Departments/Employees scenario, where we want to build an interface that will let us update the salary of all the employees in a specific department with a bonus increase. While you can do this by calling a REST Patch operation on each employee independently, a more efficient way to do this would be to expose a single function that can update all the employees.

Oracle JET has more components than available in VBCS. Using Web Components you can extend VBCS yourself with the missing JET components. In Oracle JET you can add a Paging control to a table. For that you have to use a PagingDataSource. The Paging Control and PagingDataSource are (out of the box) not available in VBCS . By using a Web/Composite Component I am able to add a Paging control to a Table component. Creating the Web Component For this use case I have created a Web Component paging-tables.zip with some properties: § columns, array of columns to display in the table (structure you would normally use for columns attribute of table component § id column, name of column that contains the row identifier § size, number of rows to display on one page § tabledata, array with row objects (data object from an ArrayDataProvider) These properties are defined in the component.json file. As the component is based on the oj-paging-control inside an oj-table, you could also add properties like mode and slot. You can find more on the paging-control in the Oracle JET Cookbook. The component can also be further improved with icons, default values for properties, enumerations etc. Duncan Mills has created a nice blog describing what is possible.

A very popular use case for chatbots is the integration of the chat window into a website or web application. However, a challenge with this setup is when the user abandons a chat conversation by closing the browser window. In this case, Oracle Digital Assistant stops the Web Channel conversation after a predefined period of time, which usually is not within seconds but mostly within the 10s of minutes. However, what if the user was interacting with a human agent through the bot conversation when deciding to the leave the conversation by closing the browser window? And what is the impact? Oracle Digital Assistant has no way to tell when the user closes the browser window. This leads to the agent integration connection to stay open until the session expires, which however then means that the overall number of connections to the human agent backend system doesn't match the number of active connections until the session expired.

Skills in Oracle Digital Assistant can have custom parameters defined that you can either use to achieve consistent configuration for entities and components in the skill, or to provide controls for digital assistant bot designers to "harmonize" the behavior of different skills. Especially skills developed by different teams may not follow the same look and feel or may not adapt the same to constraints applied by messengers. If you are a digital assistant developer today, what are your guidelines e.g. for the orientation of card layouts and how many cards are displayed at once? Do you know that messengers vary in the number of cards they support for rendering at the same time? But even in a skill itself, is there a way in your bot building guidelines that ensures e.g. range sizes set on entities and components are the same for a consistent look and feel? Do you allow customization of system messages on the skill and digital assistant level? If you had more "no" than "yes" so far, then read on.

The power of a conversational interface, such as Oracle Digital Assistant, lies in the ability for a user to communicate using natural language using phrases and terms with which they are familiar and comfortable. So, rather than a user interaction being railroaded by the implementation of an IT system, the Nirvana is a naturally flowing conversation. However, the freedom of an open and loosely structured interface such as spoken and written language may exponentially add to the complexity of how you design these systems. The very nature of language is complex, often imprecise and ambiguous. It is therefore critically important to design conversational interfaces with strategies and techniques to mitigate this complexity.

Last night was the first Oracle Developer Meetup in London for 2019 We were very fortunate to have Tomas Langer fly over to talk about the new micro container/framework being developed as an open source solution by Oracle. Tomas, opened by explaining the evolution of the micro-profile being championed by the Eclipse Foundation who are now the guardians of J2EE also known as Jakarta and how the J2EE and Micro-Profile standards compare (in simplistic terms – micro-profile is J2EE stripped back to be simple and support what is typically needed in a microservice world). The presentation then went onto compare Helidon SE and Helidon MP (micro-profile).  What was really pleasing is that with a couple of exceptions everything that Helidon MP can do, can be done in the SE edition, the difference being that for SE you have to implement more code, rather than the auto-magic of annotations, but in return you have a Reactive Java platform with a development paradigm which relates to JavaScript Express. In addition to talking about what can be done, Tomas described the kinds of features being developed, this includes: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the Developer Partner Community please register here.

In the first two posts of this series I promoted FaaS as valuable architectural style for certain use cases and how to develop functions using Oracle’s fn Project. So far I combined several functions either using the unix shell or by manually executing several API calls. Of course this is not a solution for productive software. Therefore, this post will concentrate on fn Project’s approach of combining FaaS functions using fn Flow to solve complex tasks. Combining functions with fn Flow Besides fn’s main project several additional projects exist. One of those projects is fn Flow. Its goal is to provide a code centric state engine which can be used to combine several fn functions to a single application. Under the hood it can be compared to Amazon’s Step Functions. In contrast to AWS, fn Flow does not provide a visual builder. This design decision was made to provide developers a seamless coding experience. Functions are written in code, so why should the glue between them be applied in any different way?

In this post I am going to continue the story of implementing a conversational UI for FlexDeploy on top of Oracle Digital Assistant and Fn Project. Today I am going to move the serverless API working around my chatbot to the cloud, so the entire solution is working in the cloud. The API is implemented as a set of Fn functions collected into an Fn application. The beauty of Fn is that it's just a bunch of Docker containers that can equally run on your laptop on your local Docker engine and somewhere in the cloud. Having said that I can run my Fn application on a K8s cluster from any cloud provider as it is described here. But today is not that day. Today I am going to run my serverless API on a brand new cloud service Oracle Functions which is built on top of Fn. The service is not general available yet, but I participate in the Limited Availability program so I have a trial access to it, I can play with it and blog about it. In this solution I had to get rid of the Fn Flow implemented here and get back to my original implementation as Fn Flow is not supported by Oracle Functions yet. I hope it will be soon as this is actually the best part.

The Jenkinsfile-Runner-Fn project is a Fn Project (a container native, cloud agnostic serverless platform) function to run Jenkins pipelines. It will process a GitHub webhook, git clone the repository and execute the Jenkinsfile in that git repository. It allows scalability and pay per use with zero cost if not used. This function allows Jenkinsfile execution without needing a persistent Jenkins master running in the same way as Jenkins X Serverless, but using the Fn Project platform (and supported providers like Oracle Functions) instead of Kubernetes. Fn Project vs AWS Lambda The function is very similar to the one in jenkinsfile-runner-lambda with just a small change in the signature. The main difference between Lambda and Fn is in the packaging, as Lambda layers are limited in size and are expanded in /optwhile Fn allows a custom Dockerfile where you can install whatever you want in a much easier way, just need to include the function code and entrypoint from fnproject/fn-java-fdk.

I’ve been working with the Oracle Fn project for about a year, now. I really liked the project since my first contact with it. It was back in December 2017, I was on vacations and decided to get into something new. I remember it was a morning in Cancun, and while my family was deciding where to go, I downloaded the fn project and created my first functions using Go, Python and Java. It was pretty straight forward to install it and deploy functions, I actually started to say in my presentations that I can challenge anyone to start using it and if in less than five minutes you don’t have a first function deploy, I pay for your dinner.

At Oracle, our mission is to enable your business transformation by migrating and modernizing your most demanding enterprise workloads onto the cloud without rearchitecting them. Our development efforts for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure are focused on this primary objective. We also know that to support your critical system-of-record workloads effectively with the least amount of rearchitecture, you require supporting applications from a broad range of vendors that surround, secure, and extend your core enterprise workloads. To that end, we want to dramatically simplify how you find, learn about, and launch both Oracle and third-party applications from our Oracle Cloud Marketplace. Announcing the General Availability of Marketplace in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Today, I’d like to announce the general availability of our Marketplace in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. We introduced this feature at OpenWorld San Francisco in October 2018, and we’re proud to make it available to our cloud customers effective immediately. Embedding the Marketplace in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure gives you ready access to security solutions from Fortinet and Check Point, DevOps solutions from Bitnami, and high-performance computing (HPC) workload management tools from Altair. If you’re an Oracle Applications customer, you can easily find and “click to launch” the automated lift and shift, provisioning, and lifecycle management tools for Oracle E-Business Suite and PeopleSoft. The best part is that you can launch any of these applications directly on your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute instance, which dramatically reduces deployment times to minutes or hours, instead of days or weeks.

An interesting question came up late 2018 in the JDeveloper & ADF forum. A user asked how to use Expression Language (EL) in a pageDef file to switch the ControllerClass at runtime depending on some condition of a page. The ControllerClass can be used to add custom code into the lifecycle of a page or fragment (see the full details at 27.4 Customizing the ADF Page Lifecycle). A tip Tip: You can specify the value of the page definition’s ControllerClass attribute as a fully qualified class name or you can enter an EL expression that resolves to a class directly in the ControllerClass field. When using an EL expression for the value of the ControllerClass attribute, the Structure window may show a warning indicating that e “#{YourExpression}” is not a valid class. You can safely ignore this warning. given in the documentation mentioned that you can use EL to specify the ControllerClass. The missing information is exactly how to do it. Use Case For a JSF page, a ControllerClass should be defined at runtime. The selected ControllerClass should depend on a condition.

· How a CTO Finds Flow - Groundbreaker Ambassador Luis Weir’s productivity tips. · Why Enterprise Developers Need to Understand Blockchain in 2019 | Mark Rakhmilevich · Announcing the Oracle Cloud Developer Image for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure | Julie Wong · The Best Way to Install Cloud-Based Applications What’s the best way to move to the cloud, Big Bang or slow and steady? The short answer: It depends on your company’s culture and sense of urgency. TCF Bank, for example, took a two-phase approach to cloud supply chain applications, because of all the change management required to make the shift. Meanwhile, a desire to speed up a transformation encouraged Adventist Health to take an all-at-once approach. Even Big Bang advocates advise caution. · Smart Cities Improve Resident Experience, Monetize Digital Services In a recent Oracle research report, executives said they expect smart cities to be the top opportunity for 5G-enabled digital services. As cities worldwide deploy a range of digital services in their quest to become “smart,” they need to be able to offer flexible pricing models—and ultimately generate profitable revenues. What services could deploy these models? · The Driverless Car: Closer Than You Think Depending on how much you like to drive—and on your definition of autonomous—the driverless car is either an imminent usurper or a long-term disruptor. Either way, it’s inevitable. All of the big automakers are investing in the technology, and macrotrends such as “transportation as a service” and “smart cities” already factor in autonomous vehicle technology. The last mile will disrupt more than the auto industry. · When Seconds Count: A UK Police Department Transforms A police force needs to put officers with the right skills on the right assignments.

Introduction In the past months I was introduced to Oracle JavaScript Extension Toolkit, an extensible product put together by Oracle to enable building enterprise grade front-ends in JavaScript (client-side applications) which happens to be integrated in the Oracle Cloud and seamlessly integrated in Oracle’s SaaS products such as Oracle Cloud Visual Builder (yes, you can build JavaScript front-ends with a drag-and-drop interface in the Cloud). On an ever-changing JavaScript ecosystem, Oracle JET’s real benefits are the ability to focus on developing while Oracle takes care of leveraging popular open-source technologies for you to develop your applications using their abstractions which are based on decoupled architecture, without compromising on making your own choices to extend the toolkit. JET includes accessibility support, template based Single Page Application, internationalization support out of the box, advanced one and two-way binding with a common model layer, powerful routing system, built-in mobile support and a rich set of UI components.

End-users are strange. Sometime they need the system we are developing to remind them when they do silly things. For example some users want us to remind them if they are trying to navigate away from a page where they did changes to data, but didn't click "save". Below I'll show you an approach for implementing such a behavior in Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service. What we are going to do is cancel navigation actions until users acknowledge that they are ok to leave the page. I will leave it up to you to decide when this should go into effect. While some people might claim that this should be the default behavior across the app, this is debatable. For example, if I go into a "create record" type of page, and then without doing any changes decide to leave that page - should I be prompted for a "you have unsaved changes" message? Isn't me leaving the page the equivalent of saying - I don't need to do changes? As you can see the decision is not clear cut - so in the demo below I let you control when we start this "changes were made" status simply by pressing a button. In real applications these can be done for example when a value in a field changes. At the end of the day, all you need to do is set a boolean variable that tracks whether we are now in "changes were made" status.

Introduction In this article in the Web Components Techniques series I'm going to look at a fairly specialised topic, that of creating components that can call into VBCS Service Endpoints (REST Services managed by Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service). Now as a matter of course we try and build components which are totally agnostic of where they will be used, I should be able to use that component both within JET or any JET based UI, including VBCS of course.  As such we might define our component API with properties which work with generic data-types such as Array or the JET DataProvider interface. However, there are cases where this is really not sufficient.  For example, you are building a complex CRUD (CReate Update Delete) screen as a re-usable component.  This will need to keep communicating with the appropriate REST endpoints within the context of the component, rather than just manipulating a set of data and allowing the hosting application to take care of the REST part (Note: this is just apattern, not the pattern there are various ways for components to behave in these scenarios, there is no one-size fits all approach).  Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the Developer Partner Community please register here.

Over the weekend we rolled out an update to your Oracle Developer Cloud Service instances which introduces several new features. In this blog we'll quickly review two of them - Support for the Fn project and integration with the Wercker CI/CD solution. These new features further enhance the scope of CI/CD functionality that you get in our team development platform. Project Fn Build Support Fn is a function-as-a-service open-source platform lead by Oracle and available for developers looking to develop portable functions with a variety of languages. If you are not familiar with Project Fn a good intro on why you should care is this blog, and you can learn more on it through the Fn project's home page on GitHub. In the latest version of Developer Cloud you have a new option in the build steps menu that helps you define various Fn related commands as part of your build process. So for example if you Fn project code is hosted in the Git repository provided by your DevCS project, you can use the build step to automate a process of building and deploying the function you created.

As you may know, the Common Response component (System.CommonResponse) can be used to iteratively stamp response items sourced from an array. Sometimes however it is not the repeated rendering of a response item that bot designers need but the repeated looping over a dialog flow state or many dialog flow states (block). In this quick tip I explain how to create a loop in the dialog flow of a skill bot that gets terminated when a specific condition is met. Building Loops in OBotML OBotML is the YAML based syntax of the dialog flow in a skill bot. In the following I explain how you create a bot response as shown below by iterating over states in a dialog flow. Its easy for you then to modify the sample for a more complex use case you may have.

All bot responses are messages. The most common output is the text message that prints in a bubble. Especially at the end of a bot task, bot designers look for a way to print a summary of outcome of the user-bot interaction. For this, designers have different requirements · Print text messages in Multiple Bubbles · Print multi-line text messages in a single bubble Printing Messages in Multiple Bubbles In Oracle Digital Assistant, a message in a bubble is the outcome of a System.Output component, a System.CommonResponse component, or calls to conversation.reply(message) in a custom component. From a UX perspective, printing messages in multiple bubbles appears more engaging than a long message in a single bubble. Well, at least until you print too many message bubbles so the user loses orientation with this approach. The key to printing multiple messages in a bubble is to keep on printing message without waiting for users to provide another input. Here's How you do it.

Today, Oracle Digital Assistant product management has launched a new public Website to share tutorials and training materials with bot developers. The new website is hosted on GitHub and can be accessed by anyone. Releasing tutorials and trainings on GitHub also is an invitation to the Oracle Digital Assistant developer community to contribute with their own tutorials on Oracle Digital Assistant. You can access the all new Oracle TechExchange - Oracle Digital Assistant Tutorials and Hands-on site from the link below. http://bit.ly/ODAEnablement Oracle TechExchange was launched as a blog in 2017 (https://blogs.oracle.com/mobile/tech-exchange) and since then provides Oracle chatbot developers with technical information, hints and tips beyond the official product documentation. In an effort to do more, Oracle Digital Assistant product management launched this new web site to share additional hands-on focused content. The plan for the Oracle TechExchange tutorial and training site is to frequently release new tutorials addressing new product features, as well as topics frequently requested by the Oracle Digital Assistant developer community. This new site is in addition to the Oracle TechExchange blog, which remains as an independent blog page and the go-to page for advanced information about Oracle Digital Assistant.

In this post I am going to walk through setting up and using WebLogic on OpenShift, using the Oracle WebLogic Server Kubernetes Operator. My starting point is the OpenShift Container Platform server that I set up on OCI in this earlier post. I am going to use the operator to manage my domains in OpenShift. The operator pattern is common in Kubernetes for managing complex software products that have special lifecycle requirements, different to the base assumptions made by Kubernetes. For example, when there is state in a pod that needs to be saved or migrated before terminating a pod. The WebLogic Kubernetes operator includes such built-in knowledge of WebLogic, so it greatly simplifies the management of WebLogic in a Kubernetes environment. Plus it is completely open source and supported by Oracle.

We have just made our 2.0 Release Candidate 2 of the Oracle WebLogic Server Kubernetes Operator available for early adopters. The 2.0 release adds some significant new features including: Support for burning your WebLogic domain into the Docker image, in addition to supporting the domain being on persistent storage, The operator is now installed using Helm charts, replacing the earlier scripts, You can override domain configuration using configuration override templates, Load balancers and Ingress can now be independently configured, WebLogic logs can be directed to a persistent volume or the WebLogic server console output (stdout) can be directed to the pod log, Added lifecycle support for servers and significantly more configurability for generated pods. Most of these features are the result of direct feedback and requests from our users. We have a list of additional requests, and starting with this release we are moving to a much shorter release cycle, where we will release small incremental features and updates frequently, rather than having large releases that are months apart.

We are excited to announce the release of version 2.0 of the WebLogic Server Kubernetes Operator. The operator uses a common set of Kubernetes APIs to provide an improved user experience when automating operations such as: provisioning, lifecycle management, application versioning, product patching, scaling, and security.  This version of the operator evolves WebLogic to run more natively in cloud neutral infrastructures.  It adds support for WebLogic domain configurations that are included in the Docker images, making these images portable across environments and improving support for CI/CD deployments.  The operator is developed as an open source project fully supported by Oracle. The project can be found in our GitHub repository, and the images are available to be pulled from Docker Hub.

This post explains how Fn users can use GraalVM and the benefits GraalVM and its Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compiler bring to Serverless Java functions. Introduction Fn Project is an open-source, container-native, polyglot FaaS (Function as a Service) platform. Fn is open-source, one can run Fn on-premises and/or in the cloud; running Fn on a laptop is also convenient for experimentation and development. Fn is container-native as it leverages Docker. In a nutshell, serverless functions are automatically wrapped into Docker container images (but advanced users can also provide their own Dockerfile!). Fn will take care of all the plumbing, from the creation of the function Docker image to the interaction between the function and the Fn platform to the scaling of this same function, etc. Finally, Fn is polyglot as it offers multiple FDKs (Function Development Kit) to easily write serverless functions using popular languages such as Java, Go, Node, etc. And given that Fn uses Docker under the hood, it is also trivial to add support for additional languages.

In my previous post I implemented a conversational UI for FlexDeploy with Oracle Digital Assistant. Today I am going to enrich it with Fn Flow so that the chatbot accepts release name instead of id to create a snapshot. Having done that the conversation will sound more natural: "Can you build a snapshot?" I asked. "Sure, what release are you thinking of?" "Olympics release" "Created a snapshot for release Olympics" she reported. The chatbot invokes Fn Flow passing the release name to it as an input. The flow invokes an Fn function to get id of the given release and then it invokes an Fn function calling FlexDeploy Rest API with that id. So the createSnapshotFlow orchestrates two Fn functions in a chain. The one getting release id for the given name with FlexDeploy REST API: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the Developer Partner Community please register here.

Oracle has different tools and platforms for application development and deployment, as well as microservices on Kubernetes. It is possible to identify some relatively obvious components, along with others which are open-source projects supported by Oracle. For example: 1. Helidon.io Project 2. Oracle Kubernetes Engine. Based on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), it is basically an engine for Kubernetes cluster deployment. 3. Oracle Wercker. A continuous delivery tool for containers. It can be utilized to deploy containers in any platform supporting Kubernetes cluster. 4. GraalVM 5. Should we wish to go further, we could identify Oracle Fn Project and Oracle Functions as a Serverless platform for function execution. We have written some articles on that subject, which can be found here: http://oracleradio.blogspot.com In this series of articles we are covering the first three items in the previous list. We will be: a) Provisioning a Kubernetes cluster on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. b) Configuring the OCI Command Line Interface and obtaining the cluster configuration file in order to be able to control it through kubectl.

So I recently blogged (here) about the announcement of Helidon – the open source project from Oracle to provide a microservice app server that includes optional support for the J2EE Microprofile. This is the first of what will probably become a series of blogs about Helidon, particularly in its SE form (non J2EE Micro-Profile) as Micro Profile and the wider J2EE model in general will have been documented more widely. Hello World Helidon comes with a quick start example app implemented both in SE and MP forms.  It is worth following the very simple instructions provided by the Helidon site to instantiate both versions of the Hello World app as it provides a good way to start to understand the differences in the way Helidon can be used. The thing that really jumps out when you compare the code (for me at least) is the fact that the SE code being driven from values loading from configuration is more dynamic. The configuration can be sourced in a number of different ways from YAML files to etcd.So for our for first experiment we took the hello World app, and made the path /greet dynamic by loading the path from from some additional configuration.

Join Amis and Oracle for a Developer Meetup November 14th in Utrecht Netherlands GraalVM is several things, including a modern JIT compiler for the JVM and a generator of native images (to run applications as standalone executable - ultra small and super fast). It is also a Polyglot runtime engine that can run applications in many languages, such as Node and JavaScript, Python, Ruby, R as well as C/C++, Rust and Swift and of course JVM languages such as Scala, Groovy, Kotlin and Java. And not only can GraalVM run mono-lingual applications in each of these languages, it also does interoperability between these languages. Any language that GraalVM can run can invoke code written in any of the other languages. Java applications can leverage NPM modules, Node application can run Java libraries or Python modules or Ruby gems. Programming just became a new ball game. Productivity can increase through reuse, migrations between technologies no longer need to be big bang, micro service implementation can leverage multiple languages if that is beneficial. In this MeetUp we will explore these polyglot capabilities of GraalVM. Participants will learn about the various aspects and cross-language interactions and how to make use of them. In the hands-on workshop, attendees will walk through labs that demonstrate the intricacies of interoperability on GraalVM. We will approach polyglot programming from various angles: from Java as well as from Node and Python, leveraging JavaScript & NPM modules, Java libraries and R capabilities. And of course we will discuss about the ramifications. What can be the consequences - good and less good - of embracing polyglot programming? Attendees are expected to have at least programming skills in Java. Please bring your laptop with the ability to run a VirtualBox VM. We will provide snacks, dinner and drinks. Schedule: Thursday, November 14, 2019 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM Location: AMIS, Edisonbaan 15 · Nieuwegein For details please visit the registration page here. For additional local Meetups please see here.

Are you a RESTafarian? Or are you a GraphQL aficionado? Either way you'll want to listen to the latest Oracle Groundbreaker Podcast, as a panel of experts weighs the pros and cons of each technology. Representational State Transfer, known to its friends as REST, has been around for nearly two decades and has a substantial following. GraphQL, on the other hand, became publicly available in 2015, and only a few weeks ago moved under the control of the GraphQL Foundation, a project of the Linux Foundation. But despite its relative newcomer status, GraphQL has gained a substantial following of its own. So which technology is best suited for your projects? That's your call. But this discussion will help you make that decision, as the panel explores essential questions, including: · What circumstances or conditions favor one over the other? · How do the two technologies complement each other? · How difficult is it for long-time REST users to make the switch to GraphQL?

On my todo list, I found a topic which I wanted to blog about for a long time. The problem is how to create a ViewObject, based on EntityObjects, which builds a full outer join between two tables. For those of you who don’t know about full outer joins in SQL here is a short description from https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_join_full.asp: The FULL OUTER JOIN keyword return all records when there is a match in either left (table1) or right (table2) table records. Note: FULL OUTER JOIN can potentially return very large result-sets! FULL OUTER JOIN Syntax: SELECT column_name(s) FROM table1 FULL OUTER JOIN table2 ON table1.column_name = table2.column_name; There are not too many use cases where you need to use a full outer join, but they exist (e.g. https://searchoracle.techtarget.com/answer/Another-good-FULL-OUTER-JOIN-example or to compare two or more tables). Problem: How can a full outer join be created in ADFbc? I show how to create a VO based on Employees and Department EO using a full outer join on the department_id. This VO will return all departments with all their employees, departments which don’t have any employee and all employees who don’t have a department.

How to easily manage translations in Oracle JET applications seems to be a topic often asked by the community. This guide provides a simple yet powerful methodology to accomplish this. Oracle JET components (based on Alta UI) fully support translations ‘out of the box’. What you need to do in essence is change the lang attribute on your <html> tag. This obviously does not mean that your own texts/components will be translated automatically, that’s what we aim to fix with this guide. In order to setup support for our own translations we need to set few things: 1. Add a flag pack on your project eg, css/images/flags In order to avoid performance issues prefer vector formats, minify and compress SVG assets, etc. In here we simply use png’s.

If you implement tables and using Knockout.js to push data updates from JS to HTML - probably you experience a situation when it doesn't work to push an update for one of the columns. I mean you could replace the whole observable array element - this would cause full row refresh. But visually this doesn't look nice and why to refresh the whole row, if only one (or few) element (-s) from the row must be refreshed. If you need to refresh a specific array element (or row column in other words) - you must define the value of that column to be observable. Refresh will be happening much more smooth, instead of refreshing whole row. See how fast Risk column value is changed after clicking on Process button: Table is implemented with Oracle JET table component. JET table allows to define template slots, this helps to create a better structure for table columns implementation: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the WebLogic Partner Community please visit: http://www.oracle.com/partners/goto/wls-emea ( OPN account required).

  These days I'm actively working with VBCS/JET Cloud product from Oracle. The more I work with VBCS the more I like it. VBCS follows similar declarative development concepts as Oracle ADF, this makes it easy to get up to speed with VBCS development. VBCS with declarative JavaScript development approach brings unique solution for JavaScript systems implementation for enterprise. I will share sample with off canvas menu implementation for VBCS app. Sample is based on step by step guide shared by Shay Shmeltzer. I don't describe steps how to build off canvas in VBCS from scratch, you should watch Shay's video for the instructions.
