The Oracle SRDemo Sample Application

Introduction
SRDemo is a moderately complex, data entry application based around a self service problem and inquiry logging system for a vendor of household appliances. The application comprises 16 pages, with three different user perspectives of the application based on security privileges. The sample uses JavaServer Faces for the user interface, Oracle TopLink and Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 Session beans for persistence and the service faade respectively, and Oracle ADF data binding to manage the integration between the user interface as the service faade. This sample is the basis of many of the examples used within the Oracle ADF Developer's Guide and can be used as a companion to that guide whilst becoming familiar with the JDeveloper IDE and the Oracle ADF Framework.

Key Features in the Sample


The sample covers a wide range of realistic scenarios and use cases that a developer using Oracle ADF will typically encounter. These include:

SecurityThe sample is secured using J2EE container security which is used to divide the application into functional zones for different user roles as well as configure the user interface menu etc. to suit the privileges of the connected user. AjaxUsing the partial page rendering capabilities of the ADF Faces component set, the sample removes unnecessary page refreshes when scrolling data-sets and trees and provides dynamic screens that can respond immediately to operations such as list of values selection. ADF BindingsThe sample is based around screens which use ADF declarative data binding to integrate with the session facade. All types of bindings are used from simple method calls to complex hierarchical tree bindings. Multiple WindowsThe application uses the dialog framework, part of the ADF Faces component set, to create pop up windows for functions such as list of values. Multiple Data SourcesThe primary persistence mechanism used in the sample uses Oracle TopLink accessed through two different EJB session faades. Additionally the sample uses the new URL data control to access a comma separated values file as a data-source for the FAQ screen. CachingThe sample makes extensive use of the ADF Cache tags to cache static or per session specific portions of the page and thus improving performance. Complex ControlsThe sample includes examples of both Shuttle and Tree controls to illustrate the possibilities for richer user interfaces.

Dynamic MenusMenus used throughout the application are defined dynamically and adapt to the security role of the connected user. JUnit TestingThe sample is supplied with unit tests to verify the functionality of the data integration layer ANTScripts are provided to install the database schema, build the sample and generate JavaDoc. Multi-lingualThe sample application currently supports both English and German languages. The language used will depend on your browser settings. ADF Faces SkinningRather than being based on the default ADF Faces look and feel, SRDemo uses a custom skin to provide it's own unique identity.

For more information on how to exploit these features and many more, consult the Oracle ADF Developers Guide.

Prerequisites
To successfully install and run the sample you must meet the following conditions:

The Oracle ADF SRDemo sample application requires the Studio download of Oracle JDeveloper 10g release 3 (10.1.3). Note that the sample will not install under any Early Access edition of JDeveloper 10.1.3. Access is required to an Oracle 9i, or 10g database instance. Any edition of Oracle 10g, including the Express Edition Beta will work. Oracle Lite is not supported at this time.

Installing the Sample


The SRDemo sample is available from the JDeveloper update center on OTN. To download and install the sample: 1. Choose Help > Check for Updates from the menu. 2. In Step 1 of the wizard, ensure that Search Update Centers is selected and that the option for Official Oracle Extensions is checked. Click Next. 3. In Step 2-Available Updates, select the Oracle ADF SRDemo Application option. Click Next and complete the Wizard The sample application requires that the JUnit Extension for JDeveloper is also installed. If you do not already have the JUnit extension installed within JDeveloper, selecting the SRDemo sample will automatically select the JUnit extension and you will be prompted to accept the JUnit license conditions. You can also download the SRDemo extension manually from here, and then point the check-for-update to your local file to install the sample

Once the sample extension is downloaded, you will be prompted to restart JDeveloper. When JDeveloper restarts the sample installation process will begin. The install carries out the following tasks.

Unpacks the sample workspace into the <JDEV_HOME>/jdev/samples/SRDemoSample directory. Creates a database schema called SRDEMO pre-populated with sample data. Creates a connection called SRDemo to the above schema.

Once the installation process has completed a readme file will open in the editor area explaining how to deploy and run the sample, refresh the database data, and how to remove the sample data and files. The sample is ready to run immediately.
