ADF and JDeveloperTarget Developers and Communities

• One development environment and platform

• For server/web-based and on-device applications

• Covering both desktop and mobile clients

• Used by developers to

• Configure/develop/integrate Fusion Middleware components• Configure/develop/integrate Fusion Middleware components

• Extend integrated applications to end users

• Build custom Java applications and modules

• Used by Internal Oracle teams to build products:

• Oracle Fusion Applications

• Oracle Applications Unlimited

• WebCenter Suite (Enterprise 2.0)

• Oracle Enterprise Manager

Breaking Through Common Mobile Web

Development Limitations

Developers currently have to choose one of the

following approaches

• “Lowest common denominator” approach

• Mobile web application is targeted to run on basic

mobile devices with plain HTML browsers

• Develop several versions of the same application • Develop several versions of the same application

optimized for different devices

• For example, one site for iPhone, one site for

smartphone with JavaScript and CSS site, and one

site for plain HTML browsers


• Develop one application, and deploy to broad range of devices

• Supports both consumer and smartphone browsers

• Automatically leverages AJAX features in smartphone

browsers

• Degrades gracefully to support plain HTML browsers

• No need to re-develop application whenever a new device

Simplified and Scalable Mobile

Application Development

• No need to re-develop application whenever a new device

comes out


• Allows developer focus on

application logic and view layout for

mobile use

• Complete enterprise application

framework

• Declarative and meta-data driven

Developer Productivity

• Declarative and meta-data driven

development

• Same Business Logic components

are shared across mobile and

desktop applications

• No need to re-develop, configure,

or integrate a separate mobile

framework


Device-Native application look-and-feel

• ADF Mobile applications can be easily skinned to achieve

device native look-and-feel

• Two levels of rendering support:

• Framework render kit renders UI component based on

browser capabilities

• Platform specific style sheets controlled by the developer


Performs Well Across Device Types and

Connectivity

• AJAX Support in ADF Mobile reduces data and network round

trips for smartphone browsers

• ADF Mobile framework automatically switch to plain HTML when

targeting basic mobile devices

• Better performance for devices with less powerful processors

• Less data to download over slower network connections• Less data to download over slower network connections


• Web Approach is preferred when:

• Basic integration with device native services and apps

• Need to support users across multiple mobile devices

• Limited or no offline data access requirement

• Native approach is needed when:

• Extensive integration with on-device services such as Contact

list

Web vs. Native Application Approach

list

• Data needs to be available while device is offline

• No web infrastructure available

• Consider web approach carefully first

• It is likely the most efficient approach to build mobile

applications

• Add Native Applications as needed


When to use ADF Mobile Browser?• ADF Mobile Browser is particularly well suited when:

• Extending Oracle Applications or Technologies (such as

WebCenter) to mobile users

• J2EE and Java is part of technology stack

• Data sources are RDBMS and/or Web Services

• Application need to support moderate or complex business

logic

• Need to visualize data using graphs and charts• Need to visualize data using graphs and charts

• Alternative solutions may work better when:

• Reformatting content from an existing web sites for mobile

browser display

• Simple web site meant to present mostly static content
