Another attempt by Oracle to lower the threshold for Designer/Forms developers to enter the Java/J2EE world. A page with viewlets, articles, news and useful links. Targeted at Forms Developers, this page introduces them to the steps and components required to develop a J2EE application (Oracle ADF style)ADF and J2EE For Oracle Forms and Oracle Designer Developers
Lucas, As someone who is generous enough to share your ideas and lead discussions about Oracle Forms and Java technologies, you should be aware of our new client/server code translation software. Please excuse the unrequested email; I hope you find the content newsworthy. Last week we released Evo, an Oracle Forms code analysis and translation tool, which helps companies who find it cost- and time-prohibitive to migrate away from Oracle Forms client/server applications to a modern, multi-tiered structure in Java/J2EE. Evo is a pc-based tool that: – Accelerates Forms and PL/SQL code migration to Java/J2EE through a next-generation code translation engine. – Automatically analyzes the Form into user-interface, business-logic, and data-access layers. – Provides a detailed report of the legacy application’s code structure, including complexities which require further definition before they can be machine-translated. – Uniquely allows a developer to customize the translation engine before it goes to work. – Clearly identifies duplicate functions with similar business logic and allows you to consolidate them to create a true multi-tier architecture. Evo leverages Oracle Corporation’s Application Development Framework (ADF) and Industrial Telnet Services (ITS) to enable the effective conversion of character-based applications to a pure J2EE compliant architecture. It can be used by any developer, in any IDE. There are no proprietary components.
