Oracle Application Development Framework
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oracle Application Development Framework, usually called Oracle ADF, is a commercial framework for quickly creating enterprise applications. Based on the MVC architecture it can support any combination of the following:
- Model
- EJBs
- Web Services
- TopLink
- Javabeans
- ADF Business components
- Controller
- JavaServer Faces (JSF)
- Struts
- View
- Swing
- JavaServer Pages (JSP)
- JavaServer Faces (JSF)
The Oracle JDeveloper free Integrated Development Environment provides a very graphical way to create data management applications using ADF.
Regardless of the technology used, developers get a drag and drop development approach for connecting the UI to the business services. The key is the ADF Model layer which is the base for JSR-227.
Oracle ADF applications can be deployed to any J2EE compliant container.
