JDeveloper 10g and
JavaServer Faces:
High-Performance UIs on the Web

• Q&A
A Brief History of Java Web Apps
• Productivity and Maintainability
• Capabilities and Performance
Servlets
• Java classes executed on the
server in response to HTTP
requests
• Originally used to output
HTML
 This use required extensive and
awkward Java coding
JSP Model 1
• Files closely resembling
HTML except for:
 Some specialized tags
 “Scriptlets” – embedded bits of Java
code
• Compiled into Servlets
 HTML portions outputted directly into
generated HTML
 Specialized tags run bits of Java
 Scriptlets run directly
Problems with JSP Model 1
• Hard to Change Page Flow
• Mix of Java (sometimes
extensive Java) and Tags on
Same Page
Model 2 Architectures
• Separate out “View” and
“Controller”
 View renders UI
 Controller handles page flow and
responds to user requests
• No hardcoded links in view
• Generally no procedural
code in view
A Brief History of Java Web Apps
• Productivity and Maintainability
• Capabilities and Performance
“Thick Client” vs. Web: The Past
 Requires
customized client
 Large downloads
 High-interactivity
 High-performance
 Runs in unmodified
web browser
 Small downloads
 Low-interactivity
 Low-performance
Server
Server
“Web 2.0”
• Still run in unmodified
browser
• Relatively small download
size
• Much more interactive than
traditional web apps
• Much higher-performance
than traditional web apps
Agenda
• A Brief History of Java Web
Apps
• JavaServer Faces
• ADF Faces
• Q&A
JavaServer Faces
• The J2EE standard Model 2
Web Applicaton Architecture
• Special tag libraries for
JSPs/JSPX documents
 Html
 Core
• Separate controller
JavaServer Faces
• JSF JSP and Components
• Page Flow
• Managed Beans
Simple JSF JSP Code
<body>
<h:form>
<h:selectOneMenu id="color"
required="true">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Red"
itemValue="red" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Green"
itemValue="green" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
</h:form>
</body>
JSF JSP/JSPX and the Component Palette
JavaServer Faces
• JSF JSP and Components
• Page Flow
• Managed Beans
The JSF Controller: Page Flow
• All page flow information
mainained in faces-config.xml
• JDeveloper has graphical
representations of page flow
JSF Page Flow and the Component Palette
JSF Navigation Cases
• Navigation cases referenced in
JSF JSP/JSPX pages
• Converted into destination by
controller
<h:commandLink action="goHome">
Go home!
</h:commandLink>
JavaServer Faces
• JSF JSP and Components
• Page Flow
• Managed Beans
Managed Beans
• The JSF Controller can be
configured to automatically
create and manage Java objects
• Controller or view can access
“managed properties” on these
objects
• Scoping:
 Application
 Session
 Request
Accessing Managed Properties: JSP
• “JSP Expression Language”
 Syntax: #{beanName.propertyName}
 Can even have nested properties:
#{beanName.property1.property2}
• Use these expressions as
attributes for tags
<h:outputText
value="#{homeBean.mainLabel} />
Managed Bean Classes
• Each managed bean has a class
that you can edit
 Constructor runs at the beginning of the
application/request/session
 Methods that allow you to access managed
properties
• Put complex logic in here
instead of putting it in the view
Managed Bean Example
<h:outputText
value="#{homeBean.mainLabel} />
public class NavigationBean {
public NavigationBean() {
if /* some condition */ {
setMainLabel("Red");
} else {
setMainLabel("Green");
}
}
/* … */
}
Conditional Page Flow
• Instead of referring to a JSF
navigation case, refer to a
function that *returns* one.
<h:commandLink
action="#{homeBean.nextAction}">
Go on!
</h:commandLink> public String nextAction() {
if /* some condition */ {
return("goStatus");
} else {
return("goOrder");
}
}

• JavaServer Faces
• ADF Faces
• Q&A
ADF Faces
• Oracle ADF
• The ADF Binding Filter
• Partial Page Refresh
ADF and MVC
• Oracle ADF is a framework
based on MVC architecture
View and Controller
(Desktop Clients)
View (Web and
Wireless Clients)
Controller (Web and
Wireless Clients)
Model
Business Services
ADF and MVC
• Oracle ADF is a framework
based on MVC architecture
ADF Swing
ADF Faces
Components
ADF Binding Filter
ADF Data Bindings
ADF Business Components
ADF Faces
• Oracle ADF
• The ADF Binding Filter
• Partial Page Refresh
ADF Binding Filter
• Runs with each HTTP request
• Sets up a Struts managed bean,
“bindings”, containing all ADF
data bindings
<af:inputText
value="#{bindings.EmpName.inputValue} />
ADF Data
Bindings
Database
Business
Service
The Data Control Palette
ADF Faces
• Oracle ADF
• The ADF Binding Filter
• Partial Page Refresh
Traditional “Web 1.0 Cycle”
Request
submitted
to server
Server
renders
page
Page
downloaded
to user
User clicks
button or link
User fills
out form
Component Trees
• You can think of a JSP/JSPX
document as being a tree of
components
<afh:body>
<af:form>
<af:selectOneMenu id="color"
required="true">
<af:selectItem itemLabel="Red"
itemValue="red" />
<af:selectItem itemLabel="Green"
itemValue="green" />
</af:selectOneMenu>
</af:form>
</afh:body>
Partial Page Refresh
• Use Javascript to submit a form
at times other than when a user
presses a button or link
• On server, re-render only a
portion of component tree
• Download only the appropriate
fragment of HTML
Partial Page Refresh—How It Works
Server
Web Cycle with PPR
Request

to server
Server
renders
components
User

component
Components

ADF Faces and PPR
• Many components always use
PPR




Table sorting
Table pagination
Expandable tables and menus
…
• Almost all components can use
PPR
 Requires some manual work
Simple PPR Example
<af:inputText id="myTextField"
autoSubmit="true"
partialSubmit="true" />
...
<af:outputText id="myTextOutput"
value="#{homeBean.calculatedVal}"
partialTriggers="myTextField" />
A Few Words about AJAX
Asynchronous
Javascript
And
XML
• PPR is an important part of
“Web 2.0”
 But PPR, by itself, isn’t truly asynchronous
 ADF Faces (and regular JSF) “supports” full
AJAX, but really only in that it supports
Javascript
