Practical ADF Application Deployment paper
06 May 2008 by Simon Haslam (in ADF)
I'm particularly looking forward to the ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2008 conference, especially now that I've finally finished my "Practical ADF Application Deployment for Fusion Middleware Administrators" paper!
| I'm speaking on the "Fusion Middleware Best Practices" day, and am pleased to be sharing the stage with some of the best known names in the Oracle/ADF world: Duncan Mills, Paul Dorsey, Peter Koletzke, Eric Marcoux, Wilfred van der Deijl, Dan Norris and others. |  |
My
presentation covers a variety of topics relevant to Oracle App
Server admins, particularly those with a DBA rather than java
background, who need to deploy ADF Faces/BC applications. My abstract is:
Oracle's Application Development Framework
(ADF) and Business Intelligence Publisher are expected to become the tools of
choice for Oracle-based organisations wishing to replace their tried and trusted
Forms/Reports enterprise applications. This
paper takes a less common view of ADF: how to effectively manage applications
running on ADF, rather than just how to build them. It talks the administrator
through key ADF components, deployment techniques,
behaviour under load and suggests numerous best
practices. The scope is restricted to ADF BC, ADF Faces and JSF, namely those
technologies being used by Oracle Fusion Applications and many custom
development projects.
- Anatomy of ADF
- Application modules
- Deployment modes
- Data sources & database connections
- Java environment
- Security
- Software packaging
I'm not sure how much of that I'll be able to get through in the time so I think I'll need to be quite ruthless on pruning my slides. The paper covers the content in more detail though (8 pages without diagrams - sorry, I haven't got round to those yet but will have some ready for the presentation) and will be available to all ODTUG conference delegates.
Anyway, I'm going to tag a holiday on the end of the conference 
so must start planning places to visit in New Orleans now...
