Application development is a critical process for most businesses because it could mean their survival in the future.  However, as the needs of employees and external users change, application development also needs to change.

This is where Oracle ADF 11g comes in.

Oracle claims that ADF 11g is an “end-to-end framework” that makes use of Java and other technologies to accelerate and simplify creating and deploying applications. Simply put, ADF 11g brings together different technologies using its binding layer that can make it easier for you to create, develop and maintain applications that meet your business needs. Oracle ADF makes use of the best practices in application development to help application developers come up with a high performing and secure J2EE Web services and applications.

What are the key benefits of using Oracle ADF 11g?

While you can use any backend technology such as JBoss, Java Persistence API, POJO or Placeholder, you will have access to a library with more than 150 Java Server Faces that allow you to have more functionalities, interactivity and features for your applications.  What’s more, ADF makes use of Ajax and HTML5 and can support UIs for desktop and mobile browsers.

2.     Easy drag and drop binding of data.

Oracle ADF 11g allows you to drag and drop operations so that you could bind your user interface to business services easily and quickly.
