One of the major benefits of Java Server Faces (JSF) in comparison to other View frameworks is its easy extensibility. UI Components can be incorporated, custom converters and page-life-cycles …
I recently discovered jQuery, it a blazingly fast Javascript-framework and has a very compact notation. Now some guy made a plugin to submit plain html forms with Ajax and …
It can easily be the case that in your ADF BC application many ViewObjects make use of the same bind-parameters, for example a bind parameter referring to the current …
In this article I would like to demonstrate another unexpected usage of ADF BC bind-parameters. In a previous entry I argued that bind parameters are typically seen as good …
Bind parameters (:paramName) are typically used in the Where clause of SQL queries underlying ADF BC ViewObjects. However, there is no rule that they can only occur in the …
Implementing role based authorization, linked either to JAAS or your home grown authentication and authorization approach, is pretty simple using JHeadstart. All it takes is configuring the JhsAuthorizationProxy bean …
Some things are almost to tiny to blog about. Then again, if a blog can save you a lot of work and frustration then, even it is about something …
From time to time, people on the OTN XMLDB forum, ask if it is possible to connect via the Oracle Protocol Server (aka the Oracle Listener), for instance in …

Today my colleagues Wouter van Reeven and Ruben Boer hosted a lab about the OpenOffice.org Api. Regarding the timing it was very well attended. At the same time was …
The templating mechanism of JHeadstart is a huge improvement over the previous versions. It is now quite easy to add your postgeneration changes to a velocity template and add …
I had a smooth drive to Antwerp. Not much traffic and metropolis is easy to reach from the motorway. After my pass was cut and stamped I was in …
One of the challenges of developing (J2EE) applications is information. It’s very hard to have an overview of the different components, objects, database tables etc. and how they interact. …

JavaPolis is the largest Java event in Europe. On Friday, December 15, Juergen Schmidt will do a presentation about the OpenOffice.org Java API. In an attempt to become the …
Brace yourself for yet another pretty useless demonstration of the unexpected wonders of SQL as well as my apparent lack of meaningful things to do with my life. Undoubtedly, …
This is probably described many times before, but you just can’t have enough example code snippets. Imagine you want to restrict users to update records which end-dates are in …

The ADF Faces library contains many JSF components. One of the most common used components is the af:inputText. In the JHeadstart it is the default type for most items. …
JHeadstart is a great tool for generating ADF Faces applications. One of the main new features (since 10.1.3) is the templating mechanism. Almost everything is generated with velocity templates …
SQL Developer released a 1.1 evaluation version a couple of days ago, which you can download here, and I noticed something very familiair. In Firefox you can have search …
JHeadstart is one of the tools we use quite successfully here at AMIS. We have written on this blog about JHeadstart and ways to extend, enhance and optimally benefit …
In one of the previous blog-articles a colleague of mine described how to start an OC4J-container on the command line. Which was and is correct, but… I’m a database …
A rather interesting session took place last week during OOW 2006, away from the crowds in a small meeting room in the Mariott hotel. The group that assembled there …
"We can learn from SAPs lessons learned" was one of the justifications for working with IDS Scheer on BPM. BPM includes a set of activites that organizations perform to …
I just came out of – well actually, as I am writing this down I am still in it – a very good session on the Oracle JDBC drivers …
One of the themes regularly stressed during the Oracle Develop event (part of Oracle Open World 2006) is Oracle’s key interest in and support for the Spring Framework. Oracle …

Last night we had the annual Oracle ACEs dinner at a very nice San Francisco restaurant. The food and wine were excellent, but the company even more inspiring. I …
I do not like the P word. Oracle Portal has never quite enthralled me like some or rather many other products from Big Red have. But I think I …
Building applications in our corner of the world typically revolves around databases. The most important bit about an application is not the application, but rather the data it creates …
The Whoops experience again. While preparing demos for OOW 2006, I did one update – or rather one commit – too many. I had assigned all employees to the …
