To begin with, I will create a simple page in OA Framework, and in following sessions, I will add additional Functionality[creation/changes] to the same page.
Welcome to the first Audio-Video tutorial in this series.
Objective :- To create a working page in OA Framework, without writing a single line of code in java.
Step 1 Create a table and insert sample data[3 records] for this demo.
Run script xxoafdemo01.sql from this link and create an OA Workspace and an OA Project.
Click here for Audio Video Link for Step 1
The above Step 1 will do the below:-
Creates a table named xx_person_details to capture Person Details
Create a API to help insert records in this table
Inserts three records into table xx_person_details
- In jDeveloper, create an OA Workspace and default Project for this OA Framework tutorial
Step 2 Create the required BC4J and java packages for this OA Framework Screen
This step will create
xxPersonDetailsEO [ Entity Object ]
xxPersonDetailsVO [ View Object ]
xxPersonAM [ Application Module ]
Relation between view Object and AM, in effect creating an instance of the View Object.
Name of this view Object instance will be xxPersonDetailsVO1
Click here for Audio Video Link of Step 2
Step 3 Creates a Simple OA Framework Page, that lets you search data within table xx_person_details
This page will let you search for the Person records in the table xx_person_details.
Click here for Audio Video Link of Step 3In the following articles, I will demo how this functionality can be expanded so that DML's are allowed in this functionality.

Tutorial is Excellent, Audio and Vedio is also Good. Please add the Vedio and Audio demo upto deploying the code into apps.
Most of the cases we are facing the problems in Deploying the code into apps and calling from apps.
I m new to OAF.. this Article with Audio is very help full to me...
Anil, u r doing grt work..
Please post OA Framework-2 second part ASAP.. I m eagerly Waiting for that..
Thank s once again
Best Regards

Really this is great work, we are appreciating for this effort, many many thanks. it is true that most of the cases we are experiencing about the deployment process, please could you make a audio and video demo for us, advanced thanks.

i am a very avid reader /follower of your articles/tutori als.;) and for many of my colleauges oracle.anilpass i.com is the first place where their RnD starts or where they search/get solutions to their problems.
I am comparatively new to both Apps and OAF.
and thank u for ur effort that is of so much help to many.
I will only ask that if it would be convenient for u to list names of a few related reference books available for that particular topic.

I m very new to this OAF concepts..
Real ly great service Anil..
I am getting some error when I rebuild the workspace. I have not followed the naming convention. name of the entity object created is TlkApInvoicesHe aderTmp.
Could you please help.
Error is
---------
Error(12,8): class apps.oracle.ak. prativa.testing .TlkApInvoicesH eaderTmpImpl should be declared abstract; it does not define method setLastUpdateLo gin(oracle.jbo. domain.Number) in class oracle.apps.fnd .framework.serv er.OAEntityImpl
Your table didn't have columns for last_update_dat e, creation_date etc.
However OAF enforces you to either have those columns so that their setters and getters can be generated in EOImpl class
To overcome this issue, simply copy past the below lines into your EOImpl
public void setLastUpdateLo gin( oracle.jbo.doma in.Number n ) {}
public void setLastUpdatedB y( oracle.jbo.doma in.Number n ) {}
public void setLastUpdateDa te( oracle.jbo.doma in.Date n ) {}
public void setCreationDate ( oracle.jbo.doma in.Date n ) {}
public void setCreatedBy( oracle.jbo.doma in.Number n ) {}
Thanks,

The demos(OA Framework Tutorial 01,02,03,04) shown by you; are prepared in which version of JDeveloper.
Ple ase let me know.
Thanks in Advance.

u r class is excellent & i did my Oracle Financials is that there is any possibility to guide me project in that.
Thank's
Siva.
I have a question and wonder if you could help me.
Can I call OA jsp pages from database and retrieve its web page (for emails)?
The reason I can't do it now is security, using utl_http I can call jsp but it returns login page! What I want to do is there are some XMLP reports that uses OA framework (Print Quote for example). I need to develop a program to auto email.
Let me know if there is a way to invoke OA pages from either java or from PL/SQL and then generate pages.
Thanks
Deven
You are doing a great job.I'm new to apps. Its very useful to me.

I am a beginner in OAF. I have installed 10g version of JDeveloper. U wrote that don't use 10g version. Can't i use it with Apps? Please let me know so that i can install 11i version.
Thank s,
Garima
Indeed, you must not install standalone jDeveloper from http://technet.oracle.com
Download jDeveloper patch from Metalink that comes bundled with OA Framework libraries and wizards
Downlo ad one of the below patches. Note that the patch itself will contain either jDev 9i or jDev 10g
Base 11.5.10
Patch 4045639 JDeveloper 9i
11.5.10 ATG CU1

Please suggest.

I need to modify a standard iProc page, the issues i am facing is how to download the page and its required classed (VO,CO etc..)so that i extend the functionality using JDeveloper.
As of now i have
a)Downloaded all the class files form Unix and set them in Classpath
b)I have downloaded the ...PG.xml and imported it intoa project in JBuilder.
What do i do now? Do i start makin gmy own packages and extend the classes that are being used by this page.
Help on this would be really appreciated..
Cheers!!

Is this a Custom VO? By the naming convention it appears to be a standard VO which is shipped by Oracle in compiled state.
Have tyou
If you are builiding a custom EO, on a table that does not have Row-Who columns, then you can include dummy methods as below
import oracle.jbo.doma in.Date;
import oracle.jbo.doma in.Number;
public void setCreatedBy(Nu mber number)
{
}
public void setCreationDate (Date date)
{
}

Thanks in Advance.
The SWF of step 3 dont work now ?
In our work place, DBA's do not publish any oracle passwords of lower instances including PROD. So they remove GUEST password in DBC file. Is there any work around to run OA page locally? How other companies deal with this kind of situation if at all they have to secure GUEST password?
