Dive into Oracle ADFTips and tricks from Steve Muench on Oracle ADF Framework and JDeveloper IDETimestamp with Local Time Zone in ADF 11g- January 29, 2008 I just had a play in the 11g Technology Preview 3 release with our new support for TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIMEZONE datatype. I created a table in a database at Oracle HQ in California called MEETINGS with a column named START_TIME of type TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIMEZONE. From the ADF BC Tester running on my laptop in my home office, I inserted a meeting into the table with a start time of "29-JAN-2008 22:00:00" (i.e. 10pm CET). Using remote desktop, I used a machine in California to start a SQLPlus.http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/2008/01/30.html#a889 Experiences Migrating Your ADF Swing Apps to JDev 11g- January 23, 2008 This week I've started to work through one of the first big customer testcases that illustrates a few 10.1.3 ADF Faces problems that our migration testing didn't catch. It got me to thinking that I'd love to hear feedback from customers who are using ADF Swing as well and who have tried opening, migrating, and running your applications in the JDeveloper 11g Technology Preview 3. Did you encounter any showstopping issues Please send me a mail if you've tried it out. Even better, if you've...http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/2008/01/23.html#a888 Simplified Error Reporting Customization in ADF 11g- January 21, 2008 In ADF 10.1.3, applications like the SRDemo sample customize the default way bundled exceptions are reported to JSF by providing a custom error handler class as well as overriding various methods of the FacesPageLifecycle class. You can remind yourself about the steps that are required by reading section 20.8 Handling and Displaying Exceptions in an ADF Application in the 10.1.3 ADF Developer's Guide. Getting your custom error handler and page lifecycle classes to be used at...http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/2008/01/21.html#a887 Blogtagged - Eight Things You Probably Don't Know About Me- January 11, 2008 I've been blogtagged by Shay Shmeltzer and Eduardo Ribeiro Rodrigues so, even while I'm usually a party pooper for chain-letter type things, I'll cough up eight things you might not know about me (you can read a few others in my bio here on the blog). I like my food crazy spicy, and when I get the chance to visit the San Francisco Bay Area, I bring home vials of Happy Quail Farms Red Savina pepper to sprinkle on just about anything that could use a little more kick (which is almost...http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/2008/01/11.html#a886 Using Comma-Separated String Bind for Variable IN List- January 10, 2008 I've published example 126 that illustrates how to implement a view object with a variable IN list query -- e.g. DEPTNO IN (...) -- based on a comma-separated, string-valued bind variable. It's a simpler, fully-declarative twist on my original example 1 that showed how to do the same with an array-valued bind variable and a decent amout of handwritten code.http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/2008/01/10.html#a885 JDK6 Update 4 and JDeveloper 11g Tech Preview 3- January 9, 2008 Using JDK6 versions through Update 3, we've had issues running the JDeveloper 11g IDE under JDK6 due to incompatibilities with JAXB libraries. I've been testing internal JDeveloper 11g builds using the just-released JDK6 Update 4 (http:java.sun.comjavasedownloadsindex.jsp) and this issue appears to be solved. If you want to help test the JDeveloper 11g Technology Preview 3 release using JDK6 Update 4, let us know any problems you encounter over in the 11g Tech Preview Discussion..http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/2008/01/09.html#a884 ADF BC Refactoring Enabled in Tech Preview 3- January 8, 2008 One of the improvements in the JDeveloper 11g Tech Preview 3 release is that we've re-enabled support for ADFBC refactoring. Let us know in the 11g Tech Preview Discussion Forum if you run into any trouble trying it out.http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/2008/01/08.html#a883 A Few Thoughts on ADFM Page Def Variables- January 8, 2008 A reader wrote in to ask about ADF Model page definition variables, wondering if he could use them instead of having to define a JSF backing bean just to hold onto temporary values. The answer is a big, "yes". In fact, ADFM design time automatically creates page definition variables for you whenever you setup an ADF parameter form for a method binding or ExecuteWithParams operation. If you have worked with Struts before, then declaratively-configured, named variables in the ADFM page definition.http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/2008/01/08.html#a882 |
