Application Development Framework (ADF)

Oracle ADF provides a 100% J2EE standards-based framework based on the model-view-control design pattern. It combines visual and declarative development capabilities with pre-built runtime libraries implementing J2EE design practices. This allows developers who may not be J2EE experts access to J2EE development.

Oracle ADF does not lock you into a specific set of technology choices or a specific application server. Instead, it provides productivity with choice.

Model: Can be implemented using standard Enterprise Java Beans, plain Java objects, Java Data Objects or Business Components for Java.
View: Can be implemented using Java Server Pages, Java Server Faces, or J2ME.
Controller: Supports a pluggable controller that supports the Struts framework and Java Server Faces as controllers.
Application Servers: Can be deployed on Oracle, BEA, IBM, and JBOSS application servers.
