ADF @ Oracle Open World 2011

This is a life changing Open World for ADF!


ADF Mobile will change the way how we develop business apps for mobile. The big news here is that it’s supposed to include a small JVM that Apple will allow on iOS! Fallback is HTML5.

The supported platforms are Android and iPhone/iPad (required version unknown at this time).

It will be possible to access device features like GPS, SMS etc.. It will support offline mode with SQLite storage.

I can wait to get my hands on this!

ADF Mobile data sheet is nov available. According to it, the planned release date for ADF Mobile is in 2012.

Run ADF apps in a cloud

with Oracle Public Cloud. This is huge. Again, this opens a whole new range of possibilities, for everybode, from  independent developers and large ISVs. Check http://cloud.oracle.com/mycloud/f?p=service:java_features:0::::: for details.

The Word has it that ADF Community Edition is around the corner. It’s supposed to include almost anything but DVT components and will run on Glassfish among other app servers. It’s not clear yet if it is going to be available for free or not.
