R12.X Extend Oracle Applications: Building OA Framework Applications Course Overview

The R12.x Extend Oracle Applications: Building OA Framework Applications course is designed to equip learners with the skills needed to develop, extend, and deploy web-based applications using the Oracle Applications Framework (OAF). This course focuses on the MVC (Model-View-Controller) design pattern, which is fundamental to OAF development.

Throughout the course, participants will gain foundation knowledge of OAF development and be introduced to important terminology. They will learn how to create and manage the Model components involving Business Components for Java (BC4J), including Application Modules, Entity Objects, View Objects, and their interactions with the database. In the View module, students will explore the various view-layer components, learn about CSS styles, and understand how to structure pages and regions.

The Controller module teaches how to handle HTTP GET and POST requests and implement common controller tasks. JDeveloper 10g is introduced as the primary development tool with the OA Extension. Learners will engage in multiple hands-on labs, setting up their development environment, managing OA Framework state management, and implementing various types of pages such as query, drill-down, delete, and update pages.

By the end of the course, students will be adept at deploying OA Framework applications, both personalizations and extensions, and adhere to best practices and development concepts and standards. This comprehensive course thus prepares learners to effectively develop and customize Oracle Applications using the OA Framework.
