Good day. I have been trying to see if OraFormsFaces supports Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.2 and Oracle Forms 11.1.2 or to see if it is on a road map. I am on a project that needs to make some decisions on approach, and I need to see if we should be considering OraFormsFaces or looking at alternative options.
We have tried the 11.1.1.x demonstration version and it mostly works, but there are a few bugs. The demo gives us odd errors once in a while. We've sent in support requests etc and had no responses. We've tried to go to the "live" forum, but it is dead, Google reports the site as compromized, the bug tracking database is compromised.
So, we are not getting the warm vibes for this product offering which is endorsed by many of the ADF team in general and the Oracle JHeadstart team.
We'd like to go with this product, but in case we can't, are there any other recommendations out there? We have a forms application with 259 forms. We want to gradually redesign and retire the old Oracle forms functionality in ADF over a few releases. This would have been the silver bullet.
I have in the passed managed to embed Oracle forms within an ADF page via
iFrames consuming Forms applets via forms applet server. The Oracle form
actually interacted with the ADF applet by way of the 11g Forms Javascript
Event which raised a custom server javascript event (you need to have an
af:serverListener on the javascript event).
A few things just off memory that you would have to consider though:
1. iFrame cross-domain security contraints, I had to make the app server
and forms applet server part of a trusted domain
2. I didn't break the form down but rather used it whole within the iFrame
3. I did however clip the top horizontal menu from the form and replaced it
with an ADF menu, you may be able to clip as you see fit if you want to use
only a part of the form

So, I spoke with Wilfred last week. We have since been able to get OraFormsFaces working with JDeveloper 11.1.2 and Oracle Forms 11.1.2. Here is the trick.
1) Make sure you patch Oracle Forms 2) Install OraFormsFaces *manually* in JDeveloper.
Wilfred is working on a proper JDeveloper install and IDE integration support (for drag and drop from component pallet) sometime in December.
When running, it seemed to work ok with the demo. We are working on seeing what we need to do from our application perspective.
Points to note: This is a small company and it is still hard to reach Wilfred
