Notifying ADF applications of database changes – fast and lean using Database Query Result Change Notification – Part One
4In two articles, I will demonstrate how we can ensure that changes in the database – new, changed or deleted data – can rapidly be reflected in ADF based user interfaces running in browsers. This story involves a two-step push-mechanism: push from database to middle tier and push from middle tier to browser. For the former – discussed in part 1 – we will use the Oracle Database (and JDBC Driver) feature Query Result Change Notification and for the latter we leverage the Active Data Service in ADF Faces. At the end of this first part in the series, you will have relevant changes in the database reported to the ADF application, almost instantaneously. The push to the user interface does not yet happen. However, any request from browser to server will serve to also refresh the relevant UI components, thanks to the declarative ‘piggy back’ mechanism that the ADF Binding framework provides us with.
The approach demonstrated here will work with Oracle Database 10g or 11g – provided you are using the 11g version of the JDBC drivers. Any version of ADF 11g will do on the application side.
The application architecture under scrutiny in part one can be sketched as follows – with the More >
Absolutely Typical – The whole story on Types and how they power PL/SQL Interoperability (UKOUG, 2011)
4This presentation will hopefully convince database developers that types in the Oracle Database are worth their salt – and more. With the recent improvements in 11gR2, the pieces are available to complete the puzzle of structured and modern programming with a touch of OO and more importantly to create a decoupled, reusable API that exposes services based on tables and views to clients that speak SQL, AQ, PL/SQL, Types, XML or RESTful, through SQL*Net, JDBC or HTTP.
This session shows through many demonstrations how types and collections are defined, how they are used between SQL and PL/SQL and how they can be converted to and from XML and JSON and how they drive Native WebServices as well as RESTful services based on the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway. Everyone doing PL/SQL programming will benefit immediately from this session. Every Database Developer should be aware of Types and Collections. For structured programming, for optimal SQL to PL/SQL integration and for interoperability to client application. This session introduces Types and Collections, their OO capabilities, the conversion to XML and JSON, their use in Native and RESTful WebServices and the pivotal role they can play in More >
Leveraging APEX in XE 11gR2 to rapidly load Excel data into a database table
1Whilst preparing for the Thursday Thunder session at the last day of the ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2011 conference in Long Beach, where an all star team of moderators and developers will present a live application development session with key components from Fusion Middleware, I came across a very useful feature of APEX, readily available in my local light weight Oracle XE Database 11gR2.
The Thursday Thunder session will create a portal for participants of a technology conference just like ODTUG Kaleidoscope itself. It will also create a back office application for the conference’s organizing team and it will model and implement a key business process addressing the submission, acceptance and delivery of presentations at the conference. This session has three moderators – Chris Muir, Lonneke Dikmans and Duncan Mills – and a development team of five – Edwin Biemond, Peter Ebell, Ronald van Luttikhuizen, Luc Bors and Steven Davelaar. In order to have a case that is as realistic as possible, I requested the ODTUG organizers for the actual data of this year’s conference – in terms of presenters, sessions and the planning of them all.
They were very helpful and almost instantly provided me More >
ADF 11g : SelectOneRadio in Table Layout
0Today at one of my customers I was asked the question if you can use a SelectOneRadio component in table layout. I know that the first thing they should have done is try Google to find a solution. As a matter of fact they did and found this blogpost by Frank Nimphius. This however is based on ADF 10g. The part where Frank converts the InputText to a selectOneRadio isn’t available in ADF 11g anymore. It can be achieved in ADF 11g very simple as well (more…)
Tag Cloud analysis in SQL and PL/SQL – Using Collections, Table Operator, Multiset and Collect operator
Another world shattering topic: analyzing tag clouds. This article describes a very simple first step for some analysis at database level of tags that have been associated with database records this analysis can be the foundation for presenting the tag cloud in the user interface that enables the user to quickly filter on records or list ‘similar’ records. We will use some valuable SQL and PL/SQL facilities: Collections, the Table operator and the Collect aggregator. (more…)
Intercept Hide/Show column event
When we wrap a rich table in a panelcollection component, we get some interesting additional functionality. This includes the ability for the end user to hide and display columns. It may be useful to intercept that column hide/show event – for example to influence the query that is executed to retrieve the data for the table.=
There is no column property hideAndShow Listener, nor is there a special listener on the panelCollection component. After a little trial and error, I found out that the column show/hide event can be intercepted using an attributeChangeListener on the column component: (more…)
