25. Accessing Your Application’s Data
• Three Options:
• Direct access to the database
– Simplest solution
– Might loose some functionality which is in the application level
• E.g. eBusiness Suite Flexfields
• Web Service Interfaces
– Official interfaces – use ADF Web Service Data Control
• Other interfaces
– PL/SQL, Java etc…
– SOA Suite Adaptors

33. Oracle E-BusinessSuite SDK for Java
• Provides lightweight routines for Java EE applications
that integrate with Oracle E-Business Suite including
ADF
• Intended for use on external application server
• Provides features such as:
– Standard data source (AppsDataSource)
– Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS)
– Error logging
– And more
33

34. Building ADF Applications for Use with EBS
• Write new Java EE
applications with ADF and
deploy on external
application server
• Configure AppsDataSource
for access to Oracle
E-Business Suite database
– External server does not need
APPS password
– Database access is enabled
through special user using
AppsDataSource

35. Java Authentication and Authorization Service
(JAAS)
• Configure external Java EE
application to use users
and roles already available
in Oracle E-Business Suite
for authentication and
authorization
• Requires AppsDataSource

41. Basic FAQ Before the Q&A
• It’s for extension not customization
– Can’t be used to customize an existing page in your app
– Can be used to create new pages in a separate application
• How do I integrate with my application’s UI
– Call a URL and optionally pass parameters
• Runtime platform
– Requires Fusion Middleware 11g (Oracle WebLogic) – might
be a separate server from your current server
– We do certify Apps Unlimited on Fusion Middleware 11g
