Describe the role of ADF Business Components in building a business serviceExplain the architecture of ADF BCIdentify the types of components that cooperate to provide the business serviceimplementationExplain how ADF BC components are used in a Web ApplicationQuerying and Persisting Data

Describe the characteristics of an ADF BC view objectCreate a view object that can be used for performing a query in a Web applicatio

nDefine a SQL statement on which to base a query for a view objectExplain how entity objects relate to database tablesDescribe the persistence mechanism of entity objectsUse the Create Entity Object wizard to generate entity objects from database tablesCreate associations between entity objects to represent business relationshipsCreate updatable view objects based on entity objectsLink view objects to one another in a master-detail hierarchyRefactor objects in an applicationExposing Data to Clients

Explain the role of application modules

Describe the characteristics of application modulesUse the Create Application Module wizard to define the data model for an application moduleExplain how application modules can manage business components transactionsExplain how application modules can manage application stateEExplain the role of the ADF ModelDeclaratively Customizing Data Services

Declaratively change data behaviourDeclaratively modify the default behavior of view objects, entity objects, and application modulesDefine a view accessor for a list of values(LOV)Define a list of values (LOV) for an attribute

Programmatically Customizing Data Services

Generate Java classes for business components to modify default behavior programmaticallyOverride class methods to change or augment default behaviorModify the WHERE clause of a view object at run timeExplain the benefits of adding service methods at the application module level (rather than at the view level)Create a test client for testing your custom codeModify a view object's client code to add a new employee to the employees view o

bjectValidating User Input

Describe the types of validation available for ADF applicationsEvaluate which validation options are appropriate for different validationsAdd declarative validation for an entity objectIdentify the other non-declarative validation options and when they might be usedDescribe the benefits of using domains for validationTroubleshooting ADF BC Applications

Identify the JDeveloper tools for logging and diagnosticsUse Java code auditing toolsMake use of FileMon and Junit to debug an applicationUse the JDeveloper profilerUse the JDeveloper debuggerIdentify sources of HelpUnderstanding UI Technologies

Describe the use of Web browsers and HTMLExplain how Java has come into widespread use as a language for developing Web applicationsDescribe the function of Servlets and JSPsDefine JavaServer Faces

Explain the JSF component architectureExpalin some JSF component types included in the standard implementationDescribe the purpose of backing beansDescribe the JSF life cycleExplain how ADF Faces augments the JSF life cycleBinding UI Components to Data

Create an empty JSF pageUse three different ways to add ADF Faces UI components to a pageDescribe the types of data-bound components that can be added to a JSF pageDescribe the structure of an EL (Expression Language) expressionPlanning the User Interface

Describe the Model-View-Controller design patternDifferentiate between bounded and unbounded task flowsCreate task flows to define control flow in an applicationSpecify control flow rulesDefine global navigationUse routers to declaratively route control flow to activities based on an EL expressionDefine the role of managed beans in task flowsExplain the types of validation available in the user interfaceAdding Functionality to Pages

Internationalize the user interface so that the application can be used in multiple locales

Use component facets to specify subordinate elements such as toolbars, headers and footersImplement a list of values (LOV) to enable users to select a value from a listAdd a calendar component to an input date field to make it easy for users to select a dateUse the table component to display structured data as a formatted tableEmploy the tree component to display hierarchical dataAdd icons and images to an application with ADF Faces output componentsECreate Search forms using the ADF query componentUse ADF Data Visualization components to add charts, graphs, map etc to your JSF

pagesImplementing Navigation on Pages

Implement command buttons and linksCreate menus - Menu barCreate menus - PopupCreate menus - ContextUse a navigation pageUse breadcrumbsCreate trainsAchieving the Required Layout

Build complex page layouts with layout componentsExplain the role of ADF Faces skinsUse dynamic page layoutEnsuring Reusability

Identify the benefits of reusing componentsCreate a resource catalog to enable sharing of resources within and across teamsand applicationsCreate ADF libraries to share components within and across teams and applicationsCreate a task flow template for reuse across different bounded task flowsCreate a page template for reuse across the JSF pages in an application to enabl

e a consistent look and feelCreate a declarative component for reuse in different pages of an applicationCreate a page fragment to use in multiple pages of the applicationEmploy a bounded task flow as a region in a JSF pagePassing Values between UI Elements

Evaluate whether the data model contains opportunities to reduce the need for passing values between pagesUse a managed bean to pass values between JSF pagesStore values in memory-scoped attributes to hold and pass information between pages and life cycle phasesUse parameters to pass information to different parts of the applicationResponding to Application Events

Configure managed beans to contain code to respond to eventsExplain the different types of eventsUse phase listeners to listen for and respond to eventsExplain the role of an event listenerUse action listenersDescribe the sequence in which events and listeners are executedDescribe the features of JDeveloper that support ADF Faces enhanced event handlingIdentify the server events fired by ADF Faces components/span>Use the contextual events framework to co-ordinate regions on a JSF pageImplementing Transactional Capabilities

Explain ADF BC transaction handlingEnable an ADF bounded task flow to run as a transactionManage transaction exceptions on ADF bounded or unbounded task flowsDefine the response to the browser's Back button (for an ADF task flow that wasalready exited)Implement Save for Later functionalityImplementing Security in ADF BC Applications

Explain the need to secure applicationsDescribe security aspects of an ADF BC application
