Spring Blooms Anew for Oracle


Releases Spring SDK; previews next app server, ADF, JDeveloper releases

By P. J. Connolly
June 1, 2007 — 
SAN FRANCISCO — Oracle was focused on the future at JavaOne, previewing the next releases of Oracle Application Server, JDeveloper and the Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF), and releasing a development kit for the Spring framework. The company also announced that it has donated at least 80 AJAX-enabled JavaServer Faces (JSF) components to the Apache Foundation’s new Rich Client Framework subproject.

Oracle’s Spring SDK is based on Spring Framework 2.0, and includes a JDeveloper extension with full editor support for Spring 1.x and 2.0 definitions, as well as auto-complete, code insight and XML validation features.

The Spring SDK also includes Oracle Developer Depot, a Spring-based productivity tool, integration with Oracle Transaction Manager, and the usual assortment of sample applications and tutorials. The company intends to donate unspecified components of its SDK to the Spring community, as it did previously with the TopLink persistence tools.

The next release of Oracle Application Server is intended to ease the deployment of rich Internet applications with Java EE 5 compatibility and support for EJB 3 as well as the JAX-WS Java API for XML Web services, the Java Persistence API, JSF 1.2 and the Web Services Policy framework (WS-Policy).

In addition, the application server preview includes an enhanced version of TopLink that adds the ability to expose relational data as a Web service, built-in kernel support for Java Transaction Service, and integration of lightweight component containers, such as Spring.

The updates to Oracle ADF and JDeveloper are intended to provide developers with the tools necessary to build Java EE 5-based SOAs. These begin with a new JavaScript editor and debugger, and support for the complete line of Java EE 5 APIs and standards. Also in the ADF update is a new kit that allows the rendering of data visualization components, or charts, in Flash as well as in PNG and SVG formats.

Oracle claims that the ADF and JDeveloper previews offer developers enhanced Web services support, including testing of Web services, an improved WSDL editor for Web services development, and the ability to generate Web services that follow JAX-WS conventions either from existing code or from a WSDL document.

Oracle also revealed that it had open-sourced its ADF Faces Rich Client technology, by donating the collection of more than 80 AJAX-enabled JSF components to the community. The technology will be the core of a new subproject of the Apache MyFaces project, to be known as the Rich Client Framework. MyFaces is an open source implementation of JSF.
