In the past few days, I have been working hard on several projects – both ADF and (plain) Java based, with quite a bit of JavaScript involved as well. The three main functional challenges:

  • support keyboard (function key based) navigation in rich ADF Web pages (in addition to mouse based actions)
  • support online and inline editing of customized (per context) resource bundle entries
  • create a stand-alone viewer that allows users to inspect images (jpeg, tiff), PDF documents and Word and Excel documents

While working on these requirements, I have used – through Google, my main tool – a large number of very valuable resources on the internet.
