About Oracle ADF Business Components Projects

Oracle ADF Business Components projects are very similar to other JDeveloper projects. However, in addition to the .jpr file that governs all JDeveloper projects, a Oracle ADF Business Components project is defined by a .jpx file that contains the following information:

The database connection used by the project
Whether to subclass framework classes for the project or just use XML
Message bundles to use in the project (which aids in internationalization)
Whether to immediately load all packages in the project when the server starts up
Which business components to substitute for components in the project (which aids in customizing legacy Oracle ADF applications)
Which base classes to use, if the framework has been extended
Any custom declaritive validation rules registered with the project

For more information on elements of the above list, see the related topics below.

A project can contain multiple Oracle ADF Business Components packages. For more information on Oracle ADF Business Components packages, see the related topics below.
