How To Develop For the Grid

No Programming Changes– Any J2EE application will run on the Grid– No “Grid APIs”– Builds off J2EE concept– Changes managed at runtime

Architecture Changes– Build well-defined, reusable services– Use a Service-Based Architecture (SOA)

Service Oriented Architectures Decouple Interface from Implementation

– Loosely coupled interfaces– Multi-channel access across numerous tiers

Process-Oriented vs. Component-based Orchestration

– Process Flow Between Services– Data Mapping/Transformation

Evolving Business Models– Technology Changes & New Business Requirements– Continuous small changes vs. sporadic large ones

Benefits of SOA

Better reuse– Build new client functionality on top of existing

Business Services

Well defined interfaces– Make changes without affecting clients

Easier Maintainability– Changes/Versions are not all-or-nothing

Better Flexibility

SOA & The Grid

Respond to Changing Requirements Quickly

Develop and manage reusable software services to improve flexibility and productivity

Oracle Application Development

Oracle ADF 10g– Runtime libraries running on application server– Runs on any J2EE application server

Certified on Oracle, JBoss, BEA, (Websphere)

– Implemented using J2EE best practices

Oracle JDeveloper 10g– Development tool– Single environment for all application

development

Oracle ADF Increase Productivity & Ease-of-use

– Visual and declarative development– Less coding, more reuse– Reduce Learning Curve & Resource Issues– XML Metadata

Promote Service Orientated Development– Re-usable Business Services– Common architecture

Standards-Base– Uses standard data & code whenever possible– Clean separation between design-time & runtime– Choice of technology – Not all-or-nothing

Oracle ADF

ADF UIX– Rich UI Components & render kits

ADF Controller– Web page management

ADF Model– Service-Oriented Interface to business services

ADF Business Components– Business logic declarative framework

ADF Metadata Services (MDS)– Metadata Management

Oracle ADF

ADF UIX– Shipping today with E-Business Suite

ADF Controller– In-use today as “MVC Framework for J2EE”

ADF Model– Refactored from Business Components for Java

ADF Business Components– Shipping today as Business Components For Java (BC4J)

ADF Metadata Services (MDS)– In-use today in E-Business Suite

ADF – Building From Strength

Oracle Applications– All Self-Service Web Apps– Over 4000 Internal Developers

External ISV's and VAR's– Opitz Consulting (Full ERP App)– Data Consult (Italy, CRM App)– Axioma (Italy, ERP App)– Science App's Int'l (SAIC)– TUSC Consulting (Struts/BC4J)– IBuildings.nl (Travel App)– CMiC (CRM/ERP)

Government– CalPERS (Pension Mgmt)– CERN (Project Acct'g Apps)– Lawrence Livermore Lab– Georgia Dept. of Corrections– Israeli Air Force, Housing Ministry– Madhya Pradesh Tax Dept– Hong Kong Customs

Industry– POSCO (Manuf/Control System)– Glaxo Smith Kline (Clinical Trials)– Philips (JHeadstart-based Apps)– Loan Pricing Corp (Reuters)

Metadata (Declarative Programming)

Separation of business logic from infrastructure code

Better control over changes to applications and environments

– Runtime verses design-time changes Single location for all business logic

– Dependency management– Analytics

IT Challenge

Diverse set of developers– Different technical skills– Different development styles

Full Retraining costly All need to contribute on same architecture All need to be productive Different solutions prove costly

Supports choice of technologies Supports choice of development styles

– Coder– Business Developer– Everything in between

Tool adjusts to environment– Not the other way around

Oracle E-Business Suite

Tech stack is Oracle ADF & JDeveloper Roughly 4,000 internal developers using JDeveloper

since 2000 The majority of modules are using ADF (75%

currently with 11.5.9, 90% at the end of the  year with 11.5.10)

More than 25% of the 12,000 eBusiness Suite customers are running applications using this technology

Foundation for all the subsequent development
