Reusable Task Flow for Dynamic Tables in ADF

In this post we will be seeing practical example of reusing task flow to display same tabular format of data using same table component for different View Objects.

So suppose there are two pages in the application Employee and Department and both show respective data in Table format. Instead we can create a task flow which can take the name of the ViewObject as a parameter and display data on the same table dynamically. There will be only one page in task flow and one table component in the page which display data of employee and department dynamically based on corresponding VO name as input parameter to the task flow. Isn't this wonderful. Further you can reuse the same taskflow anywhere in the application by just changing the input ViewObject name.

Lets get started.

Save Logged in User details in ADF Session Scope

In real project implementations, there is often a need to save user data in session so that you can access.

Client Side Validation in ADF Faces

I will be going through a simple use case in this post to implement Client Side validation in ADF Faces components. By default ADF Framework provides quite a few validators which can be used while implementing use cases. Sometimes there is a need to create your own custom validators. This post explains, how to create a custom client side validator.
Validation can be of two types. Client Side validation and Server Side validation. Ideally there should be a check (validation) on both sever side and client side code.

I will be using JavaScript to code the logic of validator and will invoke this through ADF Framework class.
