ADF Essentials - free version of ADF available for any app server!
- by Lukasz Romaszewski
Hello,
that's great news, finally anyone can create and deploy an ADF application on any application server including Oracle's open source Glassfish server without any license! You can use core ADF functionality, namely:
Oracle ADF Faces Rich Client Components
Oracle ADF Controller
Oracle ADF Model
Oracle ADF Business Components
Some more enterprise grade functionalities still require purchasing the license, among the others:
ADF Security (you can use standard JEE security or third party frameworks)
MDS (customizations)
Web Service Data Control (workaround - use WS proxy and wrap it as a Pojo DC!)
Remote Task Flows
HA and Clustering
