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 java class file that contains methods for initial page request and post back request.

The next step is to determine the correct JDev patch for your development system. We can find the correct version of Jdeveloper with two ways:
1) You can check the framework version in your instance by using http://host:port/OA_HTML/OAInfo.jsp,
2) Click “About this page” link on the bottom left of any OA Page and click on Technology Components.

♣ Once downloaded, follow the installation steps set out in the OAEXT_README.txt
document, located in the root directory of your patch file.
♣ The JDeveloper patch includes a very comprehensive documentation library, after
installation you can locate the documentation index here: JDEV_INSTALL_DIR/jdevdoc/index.htm
♣ 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.

Dear All!
ReplyDeleteI am facing a problem while trying to executeQuery on a child VO that is add in AM through ViewLink.
If i call getFetchedRowCount() i get 0 value although actually there are records in VO/(child Table).
If instead I add another instance of that Cild VO (instead of addint it through ViewLink) and then i call getFetchedRowCount() it give me correct result.
Now my requirment is to set whereClause of child VO instance (of ViewLink) and executeQuery and then set some of the Attribute Valuses based on some checks.
Another case is to delete a parameter based Master Record but I have to find Matching Child Records. If matching records exist I have to throw Exception. But unable to do same.
How to get correct result of re-querying Child VO? Specially from ProcessRequest??
Please ask your specific queries in forums...
ReplyDeleteNote: If you use the OAInnerDataObjectEnumerator in the processRequest method, you may not be able to scroll through the RowSets because they may not yet be created.
A RowSet for an inner table is created only when a user actually displays the inner table in the UI.
Hi,
