Comparison of Files Created For HelloWorld Application in OAF and ADF

In this post, i would like to provide very basic level of files comparison between OAF and ADF

HelloWorld - OAF Application Requires the following :

Below are the bare minimum files, which are required to create HelloWorld Page in OAF.

Workspace - .jws file
Project  - .jpr file
Application Module : AM.xml , AMImpl.java
UI Page - HelloWorldPG.xml

Below are the files, which are required to create HelloWorld Page in ADF
Workspace - .jws file
Project- ViewController.jpr , Model.jpr
UI Page - HelloWorldPG.jspx
Config Files : adf-config.xml, weblogic-application.xml, adfc-config.xml, faces-config.xml, trinidad-config.xml, web.xml


Few Observations in this HelloWorld ADF Sample :

• AM is not required to run HelloWorld PG in ADF
• 2 Projects are created by Default in ADF
• ADF runs on Embedded Weblogic Server(While Running from Desktop)
• No DB connection is required
