What is OA Framework ?

Before starting about OA Framework, lets try to understand the word Framework: As more and more applications are being developed, new technologies are also evolving at the same time. If we look at our web application from scratch, even state is not maintained for our pages. For e ample, I want to create a search form. !hen I click on search"submit button, the criteria fields will not retain their values automatically. Also we use #avascript for validations and lots of other things for similar basic functionalities.$ow, the solution to these problems is that lots of frameworks are there in which such common functionalities are already done %pre&written' for us. (o whether it is (un or Oracle or )icrosoft, the main motive behind creating frameworks is that the attention of developers should only be towards developing the application i.e. the business rule %such as what ta should be deducted from an invoice' and get rid of all other things like *re+uest.get,arameter- or *making input fields inside an ./)0 file-. Because these things are not contributing to that part of software development which is directly related to users. By doing this we are not implementing any business rule. /he aim here is to do these tasks A(A, so that developers can only concentrate on implementing the business application. One more thing I want to put here is: difference between API & Framework: A,I is a library. At times we instantiate ob#ects of library code and call their functions.

Framework on the other side is like that there is already some blocks of code written and we have have to fit our own code somewhere inside those blocks.

(o to fit our code what we do is that sometimes we make our classes to inherit from other classes, implement the methods what

framework specifies. /his is what happens in most of the frameworks.

For e ample we want to make our application on )12 architecture. (o for that we can use (tructs %a framework which provides built in support for )12'. .owever this doesn-t provide much support for 3I.

4(F is also a framework which provide us a complete model of visual components, provides event handling tech for web&apps and lots of other services.$ow, I think its easy to define Oracle Application Framework :'Oracle Application Framework OAF 5 Framework developed by Oracle for building and launching web pages within Oracle 6&Business (uite %6B('. Below is a sample web page of Oracle 6B(:

All pages within 6B( are almost similar in look and feel. Based on this fact, below is some common functionality which is already provided by this framework so that we can mainly concentrate on implementing business logic:

Built in support for )12 architecture. Inbuilt support for Apps specific features like fle fields, menus etc.. ,rovide classes for all standard components seen on pages like te t fields, buttons, tables etc.. (upport for connection pooling and session management. Built in protection against web hacking. ,ersonali7ation 5 !e can change look and feel, layout or visibility of contents on the standard pages delivered by Oracle. .owever the

main thing here is that OAF allows somewhat skilled functional user to apply these changes.

Almost every implementation of 6B( has to make some changes to some of these pages. OAF has mechanism to implement these changes in such a way that the changes are not wiped out even after patches delivered by Oracle are applied.

(ince OAF is used only for creating 6B( pages, copyright links and global links are provided by this framework by default.

UIX User Interface X!"# Framework

Oracle 6B( uses: UIX for UI $omponents %i.e. 1iew part' B284 for business components %i.e. )odel part' And what OAF does is the programmatic binding among all these. 3I9 framework is 4:66&based framework for building web applications and is based on )12 design pattern. /he main focus of 3I9 is the user presentation layer of an application. 3I9 is platform independent as it is implemented in the 4ava programming language. 3I9 development can be declarative, using ui9)0, an 9)0 language for creating 3I9 pages. 3I9 includes a set of 3I components and classes for rendering them: UI $omponents: /hese are implemented as 4ava Beans. /hey include page layouts and simple 3I ob#ects that map to standard ./)0 controls, such as buttons, forms, and checkbo es. /here are other comple components, such as trees, hide&show controls, 0O1 etc. %enderers: /hese are 4ava classes for rendering the 3I components

to target clients"devices. For e ample, components are rendered as ./)0 for use in web browsers or as !)0 for use in mobile devices. 2lasses for 3I9 2omponents are in the oracle.cabo.ui package.

&iX!": /his is an 9)0 language for programming 3I9 applications. ui9)0 provides a declarative way of creating web applications programmatically using 3I9 4ava A,Is. /he pages, events, and any other items defined with ui9)0 elements are all transformed into 4ava ob#ects behind the scenes. Below is an e ample of a ui9)0 element %button': ;button destination<=http:""www.abc.com"inde = disabled<=false= te t<=goBtn=> ;"button> ui9)0 documents are written in a te t format, where document represents page or a region. 2lasses supporting ui9)0 are located in oracle.cabo.ui.xml andoracle.cabo.servlet.xml packages. Pa'es in UIX <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< On the browser, ?page= is #ust collection of ./)0 elements. .owever, while in developing phase, concept of ?page= can be more comple , depending upon the declarative way used to create the page and renderers used. A 3I9 page consists of a hierarchical set of components known as 3I nodes. (ome nodes define visible components, such as buttons, images, te t fields, while others organi7e the layout and appearance of other nodes.

$odes can have parents and children, and multiple nodes together form a tree&like structure used to represent a page-s logical structure.For e ample, left part below figure shows a logical hierarchy of 3I nodes and right part shows the same hierarchy rendered as an ./)0 page.

$ow in 3I9, there is a #ava class for each 3I nodes. /hese classes implement the 3I$ode interface in the oracle.cabo.ui package. /he 3I$ode interface contains methods for the characteristics of nodes, such as: public int getInde ed2hild2ount%@endering2onte t conte t'A public 3I$ode getInde ed2hild%@endering2onte t conte t, int childInde 'A public 6numeration getAttribute$ames%@endering2onte t conte t'A public Ob#ect getAttribute1alue%@endering2onte t conte t, AttributeBey attrBey'A

C' A0!AP( try to declaratively define your 3I. @esort to a programmatic layout only if the 3I cannot be implemented declaratively. ,rogrammatic layouts are difficult to customi7e %they donOt leverage the ,ersonali7ation Framework' and may diverge from the 3I Nuidelines over time. :' $616@ change your 3I layout properties in processForm@e+uest%'. A0!AP( make changes in process@e+uest%', even if that means handling an event in processForm@e+uest%' and then redirecting back to the same page. /his ensures that the web bean hierarchy is in a stable state when the page renders. F' $616@ use inde numbers to find beans when you want to change their properties. A0!AP( search by name. Inde numbers can change during processing. 8' $616@ change the properties of a parent bean from a child bean. /his is a poor design practice that hampers reuse while introducing fragile code %particularly if the child code e ecutes too late in the page rendering cycle to properly affect the parent'. G' $616@ instantiate Beans using Lnew OA Bean%'L. A0!AP( use the create!ebBean%' factory methods available on the OA2ontrollerImpl class. $ot all Bean properties are initiali7ed correctly when you use Lnew.L H' $616@ create Form Beans in code %this means $616@ add nested Form beans to a pageA your ,age 0ayout region should be the only form region'. )ultiple form Beans on a page are not supported and can result in strange runtime behaviors.

PP% Partial Pa'e %enderin'# in OAF

!hile developing pages, we may face some scenarios where the re+uirement is to make modifications on the current page itself, instead of navigating to different page. (uch as selecting an item from a choice list might result in modifications to other fields or clicking a button to add a new row in table region and many more like these. All these tasks can be performed by simply refreshing the page however this could result in performance issues. Another alternative is to use #ava(cript which will give faster results but implementing comple functions can be a tough #ob using #ava(cript. 3I9 Framework provides a solution for this: Partial Pa'e

%enderin' i.e. to re&render only a limited portion of a page. Workin' of PP% := <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ,,@ is a three step process:

*# Partial pa'e e1ent ,artial page events are +uite similar to full page events. .owever, there are two important differences between partial and full page events. First, partial page events specify partial page rendering& specific event parameters which are not present on the full page event e+uivalents. For e ample, partial page events may include an event parameter which identifies the set of partial targets, or nodes that should be re&rendered. /he second difference between partial page events an full page events is how the events are sent. 3nlike full page events, partial page events must be sent in a way which does not force the browser to reload the current page. /o implement this capability, 3I9 ,,@ uses a hidden iframe as a communication channel between the browser and the web application running on the middle&tier. ,artial page events are sent by forcing a navigation in the hidden iframe, which in turns causes a re+uest to be sent to the application on the middle&tier. (ince the iframe is hidden, the process of sending a partial page event and rendering partial page contents can take place behind the scenes, without discarding the contents of the current page. ,# Partial Pa'e %enderin' Pass !hen the partial page event is received by the application, the application responds by determining the set of partial targets to render and performing the partial page rendering pass. /he partial page rendering pass is similar to a full page rendering pass. In both cases, the 3I$ode tree is traversed by calling render%' on each node in the tree. .owever, in the ,,@ case, only the contents generated by the partial targets are actually sent back to the browser. All other contents are dropped. (o, the partial page response is generally much smaller, since only the modified contents are sent back to the browser. -# Partial Pa'e %eplacement

!hen the browser receives the partial page response, the new contents for each partial target node are copied from the hidden iframe into the main browser window, replacing the e isting contents for each target node. For e ample, in the table navigation case, rather than replacing the entire page, #ust the contents of the table itself are replaced. $ow lets create a simple page to implement ,,@. In this page, there are F items %employee number, employee name ] #ob'. I have attach a ,,@ event on employee number field. .ence, user will enter the emp number and as soon as he tabs out, name and #ob will populate on their respective fields without refreshing the page. *# $reate a new OA pa'e: <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< @ight click on pro#ect % cus' 5> $ew 5> !eb /ier 5> OA 2omponents 5> select *,age- item. 2lick OB. %/his will open a popup window' !e are creating a page for implementing ,,@, so specify the details of page as below: $ame: 9 ,prDemo,N ,ackage: cus.oracle.apps.fnd.pprdemo.webui

OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getRootApplicationModule();

if ("populateFields".equals(pageContext.getParameter(EVENT _PARAM))) { String empNum = pageContext.getParameter("Empno"); if (!("".equals(empNum.trim()))) { Serializable[] param = { empNum }; String result = am.invokeMethod("firePprEvent", param).toString(); if ("N".equals(result)) { throw new OAException("Please enter valid employee number.", OAException.ERROR); } } else { String empnum = null;

Serializable[] param = { empnum }; am.invokeMethod("firePprEvent", param); throw new OAException("Please enter employee number", OAException.ERROR); } } }
2ode for fire,pr6vent method in 9 ,prDemoA)Impl.#ava file:

public String firePprEvent(String empNum) { try { XxPprDemoVOImpl vo = getXxPprDemoVO1(); vo.setWhereClause(null); vo.setWhereClauseParams(null); vo.setWhereClause("EMPNO = :1"); vo.setWhereClauseParam(0, empNum); vo.setMaxFetchSize(-1);

vo.executeQuery(); XxPprDemoVORowImpl row = (XxPprDemoVORowImpl)vo.first(); if (row == null) { return "N"; } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return "Y"; }
3ser will enter employee number and tabs out. /his will auto&populate the other two fields without full page refresh as shown below:
