Oracle ADF (J009) Training Course

Training Course Objectives

Oracle's Application Development Framework uses visual tools to rapidly generate and maintain full-stack Java EE applications. Delegates on this course will learn how to use the tools to develop an end-to-end MVC sample application based on Oracle's 10g database and Java technologies including JavaServer Pages, the JSF framework and Enterprise JavaBeans. Java developers will learn how to customise such an application using hand-written code. The course also includes an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of such tools for JEE code generation.
