ODTUG Mobile Day : "Going Mobile? Where is Oracle Taking You?"

Yesterday ODTUG organised the ODTUG Mobile Day in Utrecht the Netherlands. The event was supported by two local user groups, OGh and OBUG, and sponsored by eProseed NL.
This full-day event was dedicated to Oracle's next-generation mobile development, infrastructure, and security solutions: "Going Mobile? Where is Oracle Taking You?". All of this was presented by the world’s leading ACE Directors and ACEs,
  • Lonneke Dikmans – Oracle ACE Director
  • Dimitri Gielis – Oracle ACE Director
  • Roel Hartman – Oracle ACE Director
  • Mark Rittman – Oracle ACE Director
  • Mia Urman – Oracle ACE Director
  • Luc Bors – Oracle ACE
and several Oracle speakers. Session abstract are published at the ODTUG website.
These top experts in the field showed how to implement the latest mobile advancements from the newest technologies, such as Oracle Mobile Cloud infrastructure to building BI mobile dashboards to a deep dive into APEX security for mobile to the latest features in Oracle MAF.

With over 75 attendees, this event was fully booked. Sessions where well attended and with an enthusiastic audience it was fun to present at this event. All sessions focused on mobile technology applications.


In his opening keynote of Regis Louis, VP Product Management, Oracle Corporation, explained what "Going Mobile with Oracle" means and talked about Oracle's Platform and Application Strategy regarding mobile. Next, the audience split into two groups for a total of 10 paralel sessions in 2 separate tracks. One track was devoted to FMW whereas the other track was for BI and APEX.

After a great day packed with sessions, the closing keynote was for Steven Davelaar.


He showed a demonstration of an end-to-end mobile solution and discussed the overall architecture and key implementation techniques. He also shared some practical guidelines on getting started with "mobilizing" your enterprise and discuss on-premise versus cloud-based mobile back ends. Some very nice UI's and an excellent insight on how to use Oracle's cloud solution in your architecture.
At around 5:15 pm it was a wrap and people went home, happy and satisfied. We have had some really good feedback on this event and on the individual sessions as well.

Not sure where ODTUG will share the presentations, but in the meanwhile, mine can be found here:




Thanks to ODTUG, OGh and OBUG for organising this great event.

ADF 11g popup and panelwindow: Open wikipedia in a modal popup.

This post was more or less inspired by the noteWindow example on Oracles tag demo site. When hovering the highlighted text in this example the user gets extra information about the subject. I wanted to give the end user the opportunity to get even more information, for instance by invoking a wikipedia page about the subject. The catch here is that I wanted this information to be shown in a modal popup, and one that is not prohibited by popup blockers. Luckily ADF 11g provides javascript popups that can also be made modal, so the user has to close the popup before returning to the application. This post describes how I used an in a to open the correct wikipedia in a modal popup. Step 1: Create the plain text that invokes the noteWindow. This is taken directly from the mentioned Oracle example. <p style="margin-left:30px;width:500px;margin-right:30px;line-height:16px"> Vultures are scavenging birds, feeding mostly on the carcasses of dead animals...

ADF 11g : Show PDF in a Popup

In one of my previous posts I showed how to use ADF popup components to display external content such as webpages like wikipedia in an inline frame. Based on this post a colleague of mine tried to display a PDF document. That didn't work. In this post I explain how you can use a servlet to open a PDF document in the inline frame. I will not explain how to invoke popups. If you need to know how to do that, refer to the post mentioned earlier. How to create the servlet ? The solution for showing a PDF in a popup is to use a servlet. It's possible to have a servlet deliver PDF content to the browser by specifying the content type of the servlet response to be the 'application/pdf' MIME type via 'response.setContentType("application/pdf")'. In JDeveloper you can create a HTTP servlet very easy via the new gallery. I decided to call the servlet ShowPdfServlet which actually is a pretty descriptive name for this servlet. For the servlet mapping I accept th...

ADF 11g : Printing Directly From Your Application

Last week I was asked this question : "Can we print directly from within our ADF Application, without invoking the printer dialog ?" I wasn't sure but after some investigation the answer was clear. Yes you can ! Here is how... I decided to create a print start up form where I can select printers and print the document. Most of the functionality needed is provided by the Java Print Service API. Selecting available printers I start with a way to show all printers available to the session. For that I simply use the PrinterServiceLookup. PrintService[] printers = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null); The result I can now use to create an Array of SelectItems in order to make the list available in the application. 1: public SelectItem[] getAllPrinters() { 2: if (allPrinters == null) { 3: PrintService[] printers = 4: PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null); 5: allPrinters = new SelectItem[printers.length]; 6: for (int i = 0; i ...
