Oracle has launched a new framework that would help create Java based applications for all kinds of different mobile devices and is known as Oracle Application Development Framework. Offshore Java developers will largely benefit from using this ADK to design and develop an assortment of applications for the mobile environment. The mobile client of Oracle Application Development Framework offers the fundamental tools and technologies needed to develop and deploy applications across mobile platforms. The framework utilizes a standard user interface, which is based on Java Server Faces or JSF. It can offer a set of different ways to synchronize data from back-end servers, thereby giving the Java developers to synchronize data with databases or even other sources.

• Components to Develop Enterprising Applications:

This mobile client helps offshore Java software development team by offering over 150 Java Server Faces (JSF) that come with in-built Ajax functionality. These components provide a range of functionality including data interaction, data visualization and browser side operations.

• Page Flow 2.0:

Java consulting companies can capitalize on the advantages of Oracle ADF that offers a productive environment where the java developers are given the opportunity to work with ADF controller. ADF controller offers solutions to rectify few key problems found in Rich Enterprise Applications. These solutions include comprehensive state management, page and operations flow control and reusing flows as components in other flows and in JSF pages.

• Data Binding:

Another benefit that Java consulting team can make use of is the kind of data management facilities Oracle ADF mobile client offers. ADF provides a data-binding framework that helps ease the task of binding UI to business services through drag and drop operation.

• ADF Business Components:

This mobile client also features built-in components that help in object relational mapping and business service development. Visually designed, these components help Java developers to gain declarative access to relational databases. The business components are responsible for implementing declarative validation, object-relational integration, security and customized business functionality.

• Multi-Channel Clients:

ADF applications can be developed to cater to multiple delivery modes. The framework supports numerous interfaces that include web-based interfaces, desktop applications, mobile interface and also integration with Microsoft Excel. This helps outsourced Java team to enjoy more flexibility when utilizing components to design specific applications.

• Security:

For any offshore Java team of developers, security is of paramount importance and ADF offers a strong security implementation that seamlessly blends into an ADF based application. Security can be applied at different layers within the application and it can also be completely integrated with access management components and enterprise entities.

• Declarative Application:

ADF also offers offshore Java developers the advantage of declarative application customization, which utilizes the capabilities of Oracle's storehouse. ADF ensures that the base source code doesn't need to be tampered when there is a need for customization. Java developers can easily do the customization for each of the layers to suit the client's requirements.

• Productivity:

The ADF application development that uses Java Developer provides a complete and declarative experience. This means that the Java developers get an opportunity to design an application using different visual editors and diagrams and then further customize it through property inspectors.
