Shared: Basic Oracle HR Demo ADF BC application

[Chris Muir]

I don't know about you but I spend a lot of time demonstrating ADF,
often building applications on the fly. Unless I'm specifically
showing ADF Business Component features, mostly I speed through the
Business Components from Tables wizard using Oracle's HR database
sample schema, then start showing some advanced feature with the ADF
BC components along for the ride.

There's a problem with this approach, all the drag n drop ADF screens
based on the ADF BC components look dull as I haven't taken time to
spice their functionality up.

So finally I've taken time out to build an application that has a pre-
built ADF BC project based on the HR demo schema. It includes among
other things, framework extensions, EOs, alternate keys, validations,
control hints, sequence generation, VOs, list of values and more.

Rather than keeping this little gem to myself, I've published it on
the ADF EMG Java.net download page for you to use. In time I intend
to build sample apps for all the Oracle demos schemas, so feedback
after this initial application would be appreciated. You can find the
first cut here: http://java.net/projects/adfemg/downloads

Remember it is just meant for demo purposes, not a hard core example
of production ready code, so be kind in your assessments please ;-)

Regards,

CM.

Thanks Chris. This is one of those things I've been wanting to do myself, but haven't found the time for yet.

I haven't looked yet, is it 11.1.2? Or an 11.1.1.x version?

11.1.1.6.0 at the moment, as that can be migrated upwards.  One compromise as a result is that it uses the Oracle data types rather than the Java types preferred by the 11gR2 branch and the upcoming 12c release.

Eventually I'll build in a set of fragment based bounded task flows too so they can be used to quickly construct an app.

Hi Chris,

indeed a very good idea.
Is there a possibility to have a fancy looking template to start from
for the UI demo.
Since most of us know how to create these fancy things in BC, creating
an atractive L&F is most of the time a far bigger challenge.

A template where we can easily add the customer logo, change the base
color or add a background image, will help a lot in convincing the
customer for ADF.

Thanks a lot.

For the record the demo has now been updated with 2 rudimentary emp &
dept task flows.  I'll add more in the future, but these two task
flows should allow you to construct a basic application for your own
demonstration purposes.
