Getting started with OA Framework
Oracle Applications Framework (OA Framework) is the Oracle Applications development and deployment platform for HTML-based business Applications.
OA Framework is based on the industry-standard J2EE MVC design pattern.
The MVC architecture is a component-based design pattern with clean interfaces between the Model, View, and Controller.
♣ The Model is where the application implements its business logic. All the BC4J components in OAF comes under Model like AM (Application Module), VO (View Object), EO (Entity Object), VL (View Link) & AO (Association Object).
♣ The View is where the application implements its user interface. View means the UI (User Interface) that is visible to the Users.
♣ The Controller is where the application handles user interaction and directs business flow. Controller is a simple javaclass file that contains methods for initial page request and post back request.

♣ Follow the “You are Customer, Consultant or Support Representative” in Chapter 1: “Setting Up your Development Environment” of the OA Framework
I suggest you study Chapters 1, 2 and 3 of the OA Framework developers guide; this will present you with a detailed introduction to OA Framework development concepts. Chapter 8 of the developers guide covers OA Framework standards and guidelines.
The Oracle Applications Framework ToolBox Tutorial is a comprehensive step by step guide to OAF development, extension and personalization. The tutorial will guide you from creating your first “Hello World” program right through to multi-step update pages, partial page rendering techniques and advanced charts and graphs.
