Oracle has built its ADF to implement MVC at a high level of structure. The code packages are myriad and complex, but if you keep in mind the MVC diagram on page 10 and if you refer frequently to it while reading the rest of the text, then the latter can be far more comprehensible.The book starts with the building and running of an application that does not need you writing any java code. Don't take that too literally. Needless to say, this is rather artificial but still impressive. As a practical consideration, customising your company's business logic into ADF will almost surely necessitate custom java code.A major advantage of ADF is the use of declarative programming. This approach differs fundamentally from standard step by step coding in java [or C++ or C#]. When declarative programming becomes possible, as it is here in the Oracle framework, coding productivity tends to rise and bug rates tend to fall. The visual approach is far more intuitive to a non-programmer and maybe even to a programmer like yourself. It stuffs the complexity behind the declarations. The book goes into many pages about small details of ADF, but if you step back, the biggest advantage to ADF seems to me to be the declarative programming.Unsurprisingly, the book also has extensive coverage of how relational databases [ie. Oracle's 11g] can be used within ADF. In part, this is to explain how to use structures like the Entity object to model tables. But there are also prolonged explanations of the user facing side, with graphical constructs like the View object that you can code to help the user see the data. Oracle has invested a lot in these. So for example, the View object can write queried data results into XML format and it can do the inverse, of parsing XML documents.Another advantage of ADF is how it extends the capabilities of Java Server Faces for dealing with navigations betweeen web pages. While JSF is quite capable, the text points out that developers may need more functionality. The promise is that ADF provides this, as suggested by the code snippets furnished by the author. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/12780636-oracle-adf-real-world-developer-s-guide](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/12780636-oracle-adf-real-world-developer-s-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
