Creating an ADF Workspace

Creating and ADF Workspace:-

• Go to File -> New -> select Applications (Under general category) -> Fusion Web Application ADF -> Click OK

 

• Give your application a name. Here my application name is “MyFirstADFApplication”. 
• The 2^nd field Directory: defines where your application will be created. In my case, it will create the application workspace in my “C:\JDeveloper\mywork\MyFirstADFApplication” Directory. 
• Leave the application package prefix as blank, this will be discussed latter and click on next. 

• Basically when we create an ADF Application, JDeveloper creates two projects i.e. Model & View Controller. 
• The Project 1 is the Model project and Project 2 is the View Controller project. 
• Both Model and View Controller Project are created under the same work space i.e. MyFirstADFApplication in our case. 
• Keep the fields as it is and click on Next.

• The project features tell us what features are available for our project. Anyway, we can add other features to our project later.
• Here it will allow you to create the package structure that will be treated as default in our application.
• The java source path tells us where the java source files (.java files) will be created for our project.
• The output directory tells us where the compiled java files (.class files) will be created for our project.
• Keep the fields as it is and click on Next. 

• Here we are going to create the View Controller project. 
• The project features are same as described earlier for the model layer project. So we don’t need to do any changed here, just click on Next.

•   Just click on the Finish button to finish creating Workspace.

• Wait a second, Jdeveloper is creating the workspace and its related files for your FirstADFWebapplication. 
• Hurray Jdeveloper has created the application structure and its related file for your first ADF Web Application.
