Preview demo now available for Fusion technology stack

Is this thing on?

For years now, I’ve avoided blogging because I thought that if I had time to post something clever, I should instead publish it through official Oracle channels. However, as more and more folks will be developing applications using the same stack that is being used to develop Fusion Applications (including ADF Business Components and Oracle’s JSF library, ADF Faces), I feel compelled to start this site as a way to disseminate information, even in a less-polished form. My colleagues’ blogs are invaluable resources, and I hope to continue the tradition!

So now for my first post. Drum roll, please.

I’m at JavaOne this week, talking with attendees about JDeveloper and ADF in the exhibitor’s pavillion. The ADF Faces Rich Client components were impressive onstage at yesterday’s general session, and generated a lot of interest at the demo booth. We’ve released a preview of the components, included in the technology preview release of JDeveloper 11g. These components promise to provide flair and function in enterprise web apps.

Also, over the last several months, I’ve been working with Ric Smith and others on a demo app for the Fusion stack. We’ve made some good progress and have released a limited version of the ’store front’ portion of the application:

The limited version doesn’t fully show off the blood, sweat, and tears that are going into this demo app, but we have left in new ADF business components features like groovy validation and the rich ADF Faces components as well. Enjoy!
