In our current webservice project with JAX-WS in JDeveloper 11.1.1.3 we have a challenge with calling a webservice. This webservice from a remote organisation does not accept specific SOAP header elements our client application creates – although we followed the contract of the WSDL correctly. Of course this webservice must […]

Duration: 60 minutes. For this hands-on example, imagine that your company wants to expand internationally and […]
Oracle Diagnostics Logging (ODL) for application development
Logging is a very important aspect of application development as it offers run-time access to the behaviour and data of the application. It’s important for debugging purposes but also to investigate exception situations on production. The Java developer has a choice between logging frameworks but Log4J is probably the most […]
ADF 11g : Drag’n Drop and Contextual Events
While going through my list of requirements for our AMIS re-usable ADF taskflow library, I ran into the following requirement: publish a contextual event on a Drag and Drop action. If you know contextual events, you immediately notice that there is no way to publish a contextual event from a […]
Change the JDeveloper system directory
De system directory is where JDeveloper stores the user specific settings, configurations and also (for 11g) the default domain of the embedded weblogic server. It uses the JDEV_USER_HOME environment variable to dettermine the location. If it’s not set is uses a default directory, for 11g on windows XP that’s <user […]
Manage JDeveloper external libraries
Although JDeveloper provides loads of libraries out-of-the-box, you often need other libraries in your application. You can easily add these libraries via the project properties. This provides two options: ‘Add Library’ and ‘Add Jar / Directory’. We normally us the Add Library option because it allows to include the JavaDoc […]
ADF 11g Skinning: Three ways to change look and feel
On the JDeveloper ADF forum there are many questions on how to change the look and feel of components. In this post I’ll explain three ways to do that.
Oracle Team Productivity Center
‘Oracle Team Productivity Center (TPC) is an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tool that enables software development teams to collaborate and work productively together when developing applications using JDeveloper.’ (OTN TPC page) TPC provides unified access to different ALM repositories from within JDeveloper and it allows to define relations between the […]

ADF 11g: Debugging Task Flows embedded from ADF Libraries using source code jars
We have been struggling quite a bit with a good approach for modularizing our ADF web applications through the use of (stand alone) Task Flows that are developed in independent projects and assembled into a single Web Application from ADF Libraries. In theory, this is a very structured, decoupled way […]
Subversion – branching, merging and reintegration
Subversion is a great source control system. One of the great features is it’s branching and merging support. Although many developers avoid it, branching is very powerful and useful and should not be something to be afraid off but something to be familiar with. And for the stable and controlled […]
ADF skinning and resources
With my current, ADF Faces 11g, project, we have a requirement that the default text in the error message box is customized. Instead of ‘Messages for this page are listed below.’ it should read some other text. When you talk about customization you say ‘skinning’. Skinning allows you to customize […]
ADF 10g Dynamic Columns: Or how to implement an updatable dynamic table
Although it is all about ADF 11g these days there are still some challenges in ADF 10g projects that run at some of my customers. Today I finished a task in which I had to create an updatable table in which the number of shown columns wasn’t known at design […]
Configure JDeveloper 11g to work with Spring 2.5 and AOP
In a recent article I described the interaction between JavaServer Faces (1.2) and Spring Framework (2.5.x): https://technology.amis.nl/blog/6655/spring-a-surprise-on-a-jsf-developer-how-spring-beans-can-become-jsf-managed-beans. I created a JDeveloper 11g web application that I ran on the integrated WebLogic Server 11g (10..3.2). In this article I will explain the configuration steps I had to go through for making […]
JDeveloper 11.1.1.2: Carousel component as Master and Detail
In this post I introduce to you one of the new ADF Rich Client components and one way to use it: The Carousel. You can display a set of images through a carousel, an animation effect that switches the emphasis successively between images as the user moves the mouse across them. […]
JDeveloper 11g PS 1 has been released – cool stuff!
Last month during Oracle Open World I wrote an article on the upcoming features of PatchSet 1 for JDeveloper 11g: . Now this release has been published and is delivering on those promises. For an overview of all (?) new features, take a look at What’s New. It is a […]
Create XSD from XML instance document – new JDeveloper 11gR1 feature
While looking into the XML functionality in JDeveloper 11g, I came across a feature that was added in the 11.1.1.1.0 release – July 2009: [Create] XML Schema from XML Document. Functionality previously found in commercial products such as XMLSpy, that enables us to make a head start with the development of […]
Book Review: Processing XML Documents with Oracle JDeveloper 11g by Deepak Vohra
A few months ago I came across a relatively new book: Processing XML Documents with Oracle JDeveloper 11g by Deepak Vohra (370 pages, Packt Publishing, ISBN 978-1-847196-66-8, February 2009). It is an interesting mix of topics, all having to do with XML and most directly related to JDeveloper. The […]
Installing WebCenter 11g – Design Time and Run Time (and on Linux)
Getting started with WebCenter 11g, released on July 1st 2009, is quite easy. What you have to do exactly depends on the environment you work in, the bits and pieces in WebCenter that you want to make use of and the other FMW components that are part of your […]

As part of the announcement on July 1st around Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, Oracle released the next point release (11.1.1.0.2 => 11.1.1.1.0) of JDeveloper. And while the change is only in the fourth digit, there are still quite a few very interesting new options, features and components new in […]
Fast Swap in WebLogic 10.3 (and JDeveloper 11g) – redeploy after compile in running application
One of the cool new things I learned about here at the ODTUG 2009 conference is the fast swap feature in WebLogic Server 10.3 and above. So far, Application Server features have had limit use in my little development world, but this is one that may have quite some […]
Logging in JDeveloper 11g / WebLogic Server
When developing an application it makes sense to add logging to this application. The Apache Commons Logging is a way to implement logging to your application independent of the eventually used implementation. While adding log messages to a Fusion Web Application (ADF) and running this application with JDeveloper the logging […]
Extending the SQL Developer functionality in JDeveloper 11g
One thing that always draws me in tools, libraries and frameworks: what are the hooks, the backdoors, the extension points, the APIs, the event listener registration facilities etc. Today I came across a blog article by Roel Hartman, about showing Oracle Designer objects in the SQL Developer database navigator. I could […]

Here you will find the first demo from my Devoxx 2008 presentation. It shows how you can rapidly create a rich web application based on Java Server Faces and EJB/JPA persistency using JDeveloper 11g and the ADF 11g framework. The presentation included below shows the steps one by one […]
EJB Dependency Injection of Session Bean Facade in JSF 1.2 on WebLogic 10.3 (JSF with JPA)
As I was preparing for my Devoxx presentation next Monday, I decided to look at the somewhat harder way of integrating a JPA based business tier into a JavaServer Faces web tier. The easy way – when using the ADF 11g framework in JDeveloper 11g is creating a Data Control for […]
Migrating the ADF 10g Hierarchical Table Report to JDeveloper & ADF Trinidad and onwards to 11g (RichFaces)
In a recent article, I discussed how to create a fairly structured hierarchical report – table style – using ADF 10g not-so-rich Faces – see creating-a-read-only-hierarchical-table-report-with-adf-10g. The temptation is very large to open the project from that article in JDeveloper 11g and see what I can do with the […]
Extending the RestLet application with support for POST/PUT to create and update Resources
In a previous post – First Steps with RestLet 1.1RC2 in JDeveloper 11g – restful services 101 – I introduced RestLet and how to use it for creating very simple RestFul services in JDeveloper 11g. This contribution takes things a little further: the things and thing service discussed in the […]
First Steps with RestLet 1.1RC2 in JDeveloper 11g – restful services 101
WebServices are hot. Some more so than others. SOAP based WebServices are frequently seen as not very lean and agile. Robust – perhaps. Widely supported – no doubt about it. Key element of almost any SOA infrastructure – sure. Easy, lightweight to deploy or to program a client against – […]
