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

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

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 >
