Shared Application Module

• Create custom application with one model
• Create adf business objects
• Define Data Source in application Module(under configurations)
  
• Generate ADF library jar file 
• Project properties -> Deployment (make sure it is ADF Library Jar file)
• Project -> rightclick-> Deploy -> mysharedModel ->  Deploy to ADF Library JAR file 
• It creates a Jar file
   
• Add the jar to main ADF application
• Create new ADF application 
• ViewController project ->  Library and Classpaths -> Add Jar/Directory -> select the jar from above step -> 
• Create Datasource
• localhost:7101/console (weblogic/weblogic1) -> Services -> Data Sources -> create HRds
• jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe

Shared LOVs

• Lovs in separate application and will be shared by all users
• They are initialized only once which improves the performance
• Create custom application with one model
• Create view objects which will be used in LOVs
• Define data source in AM
• Create Application Module instance from Project properties
• Project Properties -> Application Module Instances -> select AM by shuffling to right with cache at Application/session level
  
• Generate ADF library jar file 
• Add jar to main ADF application model project
• When navigated to attribute LOV of any view Object -> add -> view Usage (instead of view definition)

Cascaded Lovs

• Create all VOs which will be used as LOVs
• Create view criteria in all VOs which will be filtered
• Create LOV over each attribute and pass parameter to criteria
• set autosubmit & dependencies in the view object attributes
• set autosubmit & partial triggers on the jsf page
  

LOVs Switcher

• Create all VOs which will be used as LOVs
• Create view criteria in all VOs which will be filtered
• Create 2 LOV for an attribute and set one of them as default
• Accessors -> Attach view criteria to the LOVs
  
• Create transient attribute which will be used as Switcher
• Configure the transient attribute getter to return lov name depending on specific condition
• Set autosubmit & dependencies in view object attributes
• set auto submit and partial triggers in jsf page  

Method Validations

• Entity Objects -> Business Rules
• Right click on Entity Validator or Attribute Validator
• Select type as "Method" and write error message in Failure Handling Tab
• Entity Impl -> write code
• The method should return True or False
  

Extended View Object

• Create View object -> extends -> Existing view object
• It will extend all attributes, LOVs, EO configurations
• After creating new VO, one can add new attributes &  change where clause
• No changes can be made to extended attributes

Client Interface Methods

• Am.java -> create public method
• AM -> client interface -> shuffle the method
• ViewObjectImpl deptVO = getDepartmentsView1();
  ViewCriteria vc = deptVO.createViewCriteria();
  ViewCriteriaRow vcr = vc. createViewCriteriaRow();
  vcr.setAttribute("DepartmentId", arg1);
  vc.addRow(vcr);
  deptVO.applyViewCriteria(vc)
  deptVO.executeQuery();
  while (deptVO.hasNext()){
      Row r = deptVO.next();
      return r.getAttribute(arg0);
  }
• viewImpl.java -> create public method
  View -> client interface -> shuffle the method
  Key key =new Key(new Object[] {employeeId});
  Row r = this.findByKey(empKey, 1)[0];
  String fullName = r.getAttribute("FirstName")+ " "+ r.getAttribute("LastName");
  return fullName;

View Object instance map to view

Groovy Expressions

• Master Detail relation ship- accessing child from master
• Create accessor
• Transient Attribute on master -> expression -> accessor.count(attribute)
• Access parent attribute
• Transient attribute on Chile -> expression -> accessor.attributeName
• Within same entity
• New transient attribute -> expression -> firstName + “ “ + lastName
• If ((salary !=null) && (comm!=null)) {
• Salary + comm } else salary;
• Default values
• Adf.currentDate
• Adf.currentDateTime

Bind Variables & overriding methods

• Groovy expression to refer java class method that returns bind param value
• <package>.<class>.<method>
• ViewImpl.jab -> override method prepareRowSetForQuery to set bindVariable prior to super() call
• Bind Variable in ViewCriteria
• ViewImpl.java -> custom method -> getViewCriteria-> set bind param value -> apply view criteria -> execute query 
• Expose the method as client interface OR call from backing bean

Overriding methods

• 
  

ADF Logger

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ghJ3CUjI_Y

 

• System.out.println
  • You have to remember to remove it
  • no granularity
  • goes only to one place
  • It is meant for appln user and not for developer/admin
   
•  thin Wrapper on top of java.util.logging
• private Static Logger logger = Logger.createADFLogger(<classname>);
  
  • logger.info("information");  //config/severe/warning/info
• private static ADFLogger _logger = ADFLogger.createADFLogger(ItemEOImpl.class);
  // in setters
     _logger.info("adf");
  Switch logging ON
     integrated weblogic server -log -> Actions -> configure Oracle Diagnostic Logging -> + Give logger name & logger level
• run application
• integrated weblogic server -log -> Actions -> analyze logs -> current in console -> by log message -> filter as needed
• Logging on ADF core classes
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ghJ3CUjI_Y
• Debugger

Diagnostics Logging -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxA2Fs0zhAM&t=219s

• It allows seeing ADF Business components methods, arguments, sql queries and so
• Add diagnostics to Java options
• -Djbo.debugoutput
• -Djbo.logging.show.function
• -Djbo.logging.show.timing
• Model project -> properties -> Run/Debug/Profile -> edit run configurations ->
  
• -Djbo.debugoutput=console -Djbo.logging.show.function=true -Djbo.logging.show.timing=true
•  To move the logs to file
  Tools ->preferences -> log -> save logs to file
