ADF: (re-)Introducing Contextual Events in several simple steps

by Lucas Jellema in ,

Communication between taskflows and pages, beans and other components in ADF Faces applications is in many cases ideally implemented using contextual events. These events are published from a producer component – a page, taskflow or associated bean – and made available to all interested parties. Events are handed over by the ADF run time infrastructure to any registered consumer in the current scope. This includes any taskflow or enclosing page which has been configured as such. This publish/subscribe model helps achieve interaction and reuse in a decoupled way. I like the principle. I have applied it on several occasions. And today I needed it again in a WebCenter Portal application with custom ADF 11g components. And once again I could not remember exactly how to implement the contextual events, the publication and subscription. This article therefore is primarily for me – so I can quickly recall how to do this in similar subsequent situations. However, if it is useful to you too, that is even better!

The use case discussed in this article is as follows:

The section in the red rectangle is a taskflow that has been embedded as a region in the page. This taskflow has indicated More >

Event based Decoupling in PL/SQL – your first Advanced Queue adventure

by Lucas Jellema in , , , ,

Back in 2004 when we started with the AMIS Technology Blog, my main objective was to record the things I infrequently do in order to have notes describing the steps to go through whenever I needed to do the thing again. I was own primary audience, so to say. Over the years, the articles have increased in complexity and sometimes in absurdity too. This one is back to that original intention. This article is not fancy at all – even though it touches upon a powerful (and underrated) subject: the Advanced Queue in the Oracle RDBMS. For the 1000s of database developers and architects that make frequent use of AQ, I am not going to add anything: this article merely shows the steps for creating an Advanced Queue, how to register a listener on the queue and how to publish a message on the queue. That is not fancy at all, obviously.

What is extremely fancy and powerful – and not nearly used enough – is the architectural pattern that AQ allows us to introduce. Queues are a key concept for achieving decoupling. Decoupling itself is like the holy grail of architects – because it allows agility and reuse. Through a Queue, a publisher (or discoverer) of events can make them available to More >

Complex Event Processing – Java Magazine – Sources & References

by Lucas Jellema in , , , , ,

This article contains the resources for an article on Complex Event Processing (using Oracle CEP) that is published in the March 2010 issue of the Dutch Java Magazine. This article describes the interaction between CEP and Java Applications, using examples of temperature sensors that are monitored (aggregating their readings and looking out for any broken sensors) and web shops that try to determine the most popular and the most efficient search terms as well as the search terms that are quite useless (as they never result in a transaction).

The article is in Dutch – it will be made available for download later on. Note that it is based on Chapter 19 in the upcoming Oracle SOA Suite 11g Handbook (Oracle Press, due Summer 2010).

Simple Event Processing – Using SQL with Analytical Functions to detect traffic patterns

4 years ago
by Lucas Jellema in , , ,

One of the intriguing subjects at last weeks Oracle Open World conference for me was Complex Event Processing. The ability to process streams of real time events, and up to 1000s per second of them, opens up many new avenues of interesting opportunities. Detecting patterns and anomalies, aggregating and comparing – reporting only the noteworthy events or findings, thereby making sense (information) of enormous volumes of data is both great fun and tremendously useful in specific situations. The SQL like CQL language – Continuous Query Language – provides us with a syntax to analyze data streams in various ways – detecting trends and patterns, variations and aberrations. There are several key characteristics in the CEP architecture: handling large volumes of events, applying this special language for event analysis and executing the queries continuously. That last bit means that the query is registered with a stream of events, not executed at a single moment in time against the data as it is at that moment but looking for query results continously as the events keep streaming in. Query results can be reported for as long as the query registration remains active and the events keep More >
