JDeveloper 10g includes the new Oracle Application Development
Framework (Oracle ADF), a comprehensive productivity layer for
J2EE developers. It simplifies building applications as a set
of business services with web, wireless, and rich client interfaces.
The framework accelerates development with ready-to-use J2EE design
pattern implementations and metadata-driven components that you
would otherwise have to code, test, and debug by hand. Since its
implementation is based on standards, and its features embody
years of experience from Oracle's own business application developers,
your ADF-powered applications are high-performing, well-architected,
and portable.
In contrast to traditional development frameworks, Oracle
ADF not only makes application development easier and more
productive, it is also more flexible, extensible, and based
on industry standards.
You'll learn more about Oracle ADF later in this Quick Tour,
in the J2EE Framework section.
