0 Are you unable to pinpoint frustrating blind spots and recurring problems in your ADF application? This video gives a quick introduction of the features of the ADF Performance Monitor, an advanced monitor specifically designed for Oracle ADF applications.
0 0 Last week we had a new version of the ADF Performance Monitor available – version 9.5. In this blog I will write on one of the new features; thread wait and thread blocked time of requests. Sometimes we cannot explain a poor performance, disruptions, hiccups. If we dive into the […]
0 0 We have again a major new version of the ADF Performance Monitor available – version 9.5 ! We have added many new valuable features and improvements. Many overview screens have got a facelift and new charts. In several blogs I will write on them. This blog is on one of […]
0 0 I’m very excited to announce that we have a major new version of the ADF Performance Monitor – version 9.0 ! We have added many valuable new features; new metrics that can detect and help explain poor performance, disruptions, hiccups, and help troubleshooting ADF applications. Like operating system metrics: the […]
0 0 Application errors are often hard to retrieve, or take a lot of time to resolve. When you are suffering from errors, and have a lack of clarity when errors happen, you would like to have useful error diagnostics for analysis. The ADF Performance Monitor automatically captures detailed diagnostics for each […]
0 0 Recently I was analyzing and troubleshooting the performance of an ADF application. Much was already improved before I came. Due to a very recent new hardware/infrastructure environment, the server and database process time was nearly 50% faster after migration. In this blog I want to show you the impact it […]

0 0 In this blog I will discuss the top 10 typical performance problems I see in general in Oracle ADF projects – and will discuss solutions. Top 10 Typical Bottlenecks – Illustrated by ADF Callstacks I will illustrate the top 10 typical bottlenecks with ‘ADF callstacks’ – a feature of the ADF Performance […]
0 0 Last week I was doing an extensive performance analysis / health check on a large ADF project, with the newest version of our ADF Performance Monitor product. In this performance assessment/analysis I have focused high-level on the most important performance bottlenecks. We could see in the ADF Performance Monitor that end-users experience […]
0 0 What is best metric in performance monitoring – averages or percentiles? Statistically speaking there are many methods to determine just how good of an overall experience your application is providing. Averages are used widely. They are easy to understand and calculate – however they can be misleading. This blog is on […]
0 0 In my previous post I showed the steps you have to take to create your first ADF REST resource. You can find it here: First steps with REST services on ADF Business Components. I will continue my exploration in the world of ADF REST. We are now going to configure […]
0 0 In this blog I want to stress how important it is to manage the data that you fetch and load into your ADF application. I blogged on this subject earlier. It is still underestimated in my opinion. Recently I was involved in troubleshooting the performance in two different ADF projects. They […]
0 0 We are very happy to announce that a major new version 7.0 of the ADF Performance Monitor will be available from May 2018. There are many improvements and major new features. This blog describes one of the new features; on usage statistics and performance metrics of end-user click actions. A […]
0 0 Recently we had a challenge at a customer for which ADF REST resources on Business Components were the perfect solution. Our application is built in Oracle JET and of course we wanted nice REST services to communicate with. Because our data is stored in an Oracle database we needed an […]
0 0 It is not always easy to troubleshoot ADF performance problems – it is often complicated. Many parts needs to be measured, analyzed and considered. While looking for performance problems at the usual suspects (ADF application, database, network), the real problem can also be found in the often overlooked browser load […]
0 0 Even though ADF does not always play nice with guests, it is becoming increasingly common to have ADF applications – pure ADF or WebCenter Portal – that are the host to embedded user interfaces, created in technologies such as Oracle JET, Vue.js, Angular or React. This is not the ideal […]
0 0 Vue.js is a popular framework for developing rich client web applications, leveraging browsers for all they are worth. Vue.js has attracted a large number of developers that together have produced a large number of quite interesting reusable components. ADF Faces is itself a quite mature framework for the development of […]
0 0 In my previous blog I explained how to get ADF Data in a Jet Component, this was done by iterating through a ViewObject and rendering a component per element in the View Object. When you want to use the DVT’s from Oracle Jet, this won’t do the thing, because you […]
0 0 Oracle JET has been around for a while, and at this moment we are investigating what it would take to integrate JET with our existing ADF Application. In the current ADF application we want to make a dashboard in JET, however we still need to know for what project we […]
0 0 In a recent article (Client Side Event Bus in Rich ADF Web Applications – for easier, faster decoupled interaction across regions), I proposed an approach for a client side event bus in ADF Faces Web Applications – as light weight, straightforward, simple alternative to contextual events. The article demonstrated how […]
0 0 The challenge is well known: our ADF Faces Web application is composed of various taskflows that have been developed as stand alone, encapsulated units that can be used and reused in various contexts. These taskflows can have come from third parties, remote development teams, other applications are we may have […]
0 0 The challenge is simple: users of an ADF Faces web application are only allowed to enter uppercase characters into a field. We want to help them by turning any lowercase character they type into its uppercase equivalent – as they are typing. And we of course need to make sure […]
0 0 Adding Angular 2 to an existing ADF application Reality sometimes can be a bit surprising. The desire to build a new module using Angular 2 on top of an existing ADF 12.1.3 application for example probably wouldn’t be the first thing you would expect. But hey, with AMIS’ strong background […]
0 0 For a client that uses a lot of ADF editable table I was exploring the possibilities of navigating through an editable table with the arrow keys. They often need to edit values in one column for all the rows in the table. The only way to do that now is […]
0 0 With the release of ADF 12.2.1 in the fall of 2015, Oracle finally added support for declaratively consuming a RESTful web service that responds in JSON format. Until then, processing JSON from a rest web service was only possible using Java. The ability to consume and process the web service […]
0 0 A while ago I decided to create an ADF page based on a dynamic table, and I found that, although there are quite some articles about the subject online, I still faced some challenges while implementing such a solution in ADF 12c. These challenges, however, can be solved easily when […]
0 0 Not all Oracle ADF projects are built with ADF Business Components (ADF BC). Some organizations prefer to use EJB/JPA (EclipseLink) instead of ADF BC. The EclipseLink JPA provides developers with a standards based Object-Relational persistence solution. The application still reflects the Model-View-Controller architecture. In this case the model is provided by […]
0 0 The requirement is easily written down: the web page contains a form with multiple form items. Each user should be allowed to personalize the form at run time. This personalization entails the ability to hide and show form items. When user has decided to hide and show specific items – […]
0 0 Recently we added a great new feature to the ADF Performance Monitor: network and browser load time information. Now you know exactly every end-user experience of your ADF application, in real-time. You can quickly resolve any performance bottlenecks with this end-to-end visibility. You can even drill down into an individual user to […]
0 0 Question: We have customers who want to work with different database schemas and we want to determine dynamically – depending on a choice during or after login – which database schema the application in a given session should use. Is it possible to set this up in the database? Answer: […]
0 0 Last week I presented at the UKOUG’14 conference on creating intuitive & interactive dashboards with the ADF Data Visualization Components. Frequently end-users are overwhelmed with too much and confusing information displayed in rows and columns. It can be difficult to quickly get the relative significance. This session discussed how to create intuitive, interactive […]
0 0 Last week I presented at the UKOUG’14 conference on instrumenting, analyzing, & tuning the performance of Oracle ADF applications. Instrumentation refers to an ability to monitor or measure the level of a product’s performance, to diagnose errors and to write trace information. Instrumenting gives visibility and insight of what is happening inside the […]
0 0 Mobile apps usually have the possibility to toggle the springboard by using an icon that is displayed in the header of the app. The Oracle MAF reference app, Work Better, also tries to implement this behavior. The showing of the springboard works fine, however, hiding it does not really work […]
0 0 Images are heavily used in Mobile apps. For instance a list that contains employees usually shows the images of these employees. This works well when you have a WIFI connection, but what if you are using slower connections ? If you look at a mobile twitter app you will see […]
0 0 In order to keep the business-IT gap manageable, it is important for analysts, designers and architects to know what their implemented application landscape actually looks like. An important part of this is insight in dependencies between different components. In my previous blog post I’ve described how service dependencies can be […]
0 0 “ There’s A Lot More Behind This Pretty Face “ The whitepaper “User Experience Frameworks – Future of optimal UI development -” starts with an overview of user experience guidelines. These guidelines translate to additional UX requirements when designing and building a new user interface on modern systems. We will also […]
0 0 Recently I was implementing the ADF Performance Monitor at a customer site and doing a detailed performance analysis. This customer had severe (and less severe) performance problems but was unable to pinpoint the exact pain points. Frequently, end-users were complaining because they were experiencing first a very good performance (response times […]
0 0 For some of our own internal applications, we (AMIS) are using 2 products of Oracle that do not require any license to be payed: ADF Essentials and the Oracle XE database. These applications were initially deployed to a Tomcat 6 server, only when trying to deploy new applications we encountered […]
0 0 Performance tuning is one of the things that is often left behind during development. Project leaders and business owners seem to think it happens on its own or just push it to the background when the deadline comes close. Another thing that doesn’t help is that performance tuning for ADF […]
