Blogging again

After a two year of blogging break I am back to blogging.

What has changed: in a nutshell new stuff and exciting new challenges,

Why the break: I really can't say I have done any ground breaking work in the last couple of years and although I was still solving hard problems they seemed like the same pattern repeated. Also I have been quite disillusioned with ADF, Solaris, java and the general direction of the products I was using.

What is to come: We will be moving off our current T5-8 Solaris hardware onto Oracle cloud @ Customer. This means a move from SPARC to x86. The initial plan was SPARC to Dell server on-prem. JCS and Exadata for now until we can do a port of our ADF applications onto a more cloud native platform.

ADF sort of generic screen for tables with the same structure

We have a couple (about a hundred) of tables with the same structure (Code, Description, Create Date, Update Date). So I wanted to do something simple so that I did not have to create all these screens 1) EO   I created the EO based on one of the tables I had that had the above columns. I then Added a transient attribute called table name to my EO based on a groovy expression. (the expression needs to change as I am reading web tier stuff from the model layer but I will fix this later) I then generated a java class for my EO. And added the following overriden method to my newly created java class. protected StringBuffer buildDMLStatement(int i, AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl,   AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl2, AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl3, boolean b) {   StringBuffer statement = super.buildDMLStatement(   i, attributeDefImpl, attributeDefImpl2, attributeDefImpl3, b); return new StringBuffer(StringUtils.replace(statement.to...

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. Fill in the details under jar options (select Include manifest and give it a main class name) Also remember that the merge functionality only works with a BLANK line at the end of the merge file. REALLY this caught me. My merge file contents: Class-Path: commons-codec-1.3.jar [...empty line here CRLF...]
