How is Oracle ADF related to existing Oracle frameworks like Business Components for Java (BC4J), UIX, and JClient?
Oracle ADF consolidates Oracle’s existing application frameworks and evolves their functionality to a new level of productivity and flexibility. The ADF Business Components and ADF JClient technologies have been internally refactored to cleanly separate the business services features from the data binding features. This means JSP and uiXML pages, as well as Swing/JClient panels, now all share a common data-binding technology in the ADF Model layer which can work consistently against backend business services of all kinds. With this approach, developers get a new, consistent way to do visual data-binding in Oracle9i JDeveloper and new flexibility to accommodate services implemented as ADF Application Modules, custom JavaBeans, EJB’s, and Web Services. These improvements have been implemented with upward compatibility in mind, so applications built using existing, production versions of BC4J, UIX, and JClient just open and run in Oracle JDeveloper 10g on top of the enhanced Oracle ADF fr
