About Graph Support in ADF Applications

JDeveloper provides support for building databound graphs through its seamless integration of Oracle Business Intelligence Beans (BI Beans) technology. Although you do not need to install the BI Beans JDeveloper addin component to use the graph technology, you may want to install the addin to view the available documentation.

The Graph capabilities and features include:

Easy to integrate with custom applications — Since a graph component is reusable, you can add it to custom applications, including Oracle ADF web applications (currently JSP pages only) and ADF JClient applications.
Easy to build and maintain — Using the Data Control Palette, drag data model components such as ADF Business Components view objects and data collections. The graph properties and databinding are exposed in the Property Inspector to enable the client developer to quickly change these settings.
Programmatic access through Java — Modify graph components by calling the BI Beans Graph's public methods.
Support for different data sources — Oracle ADF Business Components, Enterprise JavaBeans, Toplink, web services, custom Java Beans
