ADF to service enabled bindings : findings

Service enablement
It is very easy to expose your adf code in any application module as services with just a couple of clicks.
(Although this may not be the best thing to do without thought)
This could allow you to leverage your existing investment in ADF and publish the existing code
as needed to your SOA enviroment.

EO bindings
You can base Entity Objects on services and have all the same rich functionaltiy adf provides yet using a service backed entity.

Webservice data control
This control allows you to incorporate web services in any ADF page simply and quickly

Pojo custom control
This allows you the most flexibility you can create a custom data control off a pojo and use this to call you web services.

With these tools you can integrate any third party or internal services into your adf application quickly and easily.
All in all I was pleasantly surprised with the service integration in ADF.
Although there are a couple of things that where tricky (custom LOV's etc) you should be able to achieve
what you need with the minimum of fuss.

MANIFEST.MF merge JDeveloper for an executable jar

Goto your project > properties. Then click on deployment in the menu. Edit or add a jar deployment profile.

REALLY this caught me. My merge file contents: Class-Path: commons-codec-1.3.jar [...empty line here CRLF...]

ADF: LOV Description instead of code

I keep on forgetting how to do this so this is a note to self in terms I understand (ie pictures): Add the related entiy object to yours (in the example we are adding RegionEO(list of values) to CountryEO) Now add the RegionName field from the EO and a transient attribute (I named mine RegionNameLOV) Make the transient attribute updateable and base it on the expression RegionName (the description you wish to display) Add a list of values to RegionNameLOV and map BOTH key to parent fk (region id here) AND RegionName to your transient coulmn (RegionNameLOV).  Map the transient as an Input text with List of Values. Then just drag the lov item onto the page (RegionNameLOV)
