This Data Control can be used the same as any other Data Control for dragging and dropping on pages.

Lets take a moment and see how the XML Data Control fits in the ADF architecture,  below an illustration of the already available abstraction layers in Oracle ADF.

When working on a page(fragment) in ADF, by default this page works through the ADF Binding layer. The Binding layer provides a consistent interface to the data regardless of where it comes from. The ADF Data Control again provides a consistent interface, abstracting the implementation technology from the business service and describing the service’s operations and data collections.

 

Our goal was to create a new way of handling XML in ADF, but staying close to the default ADF framework and thus the comfort zone of the ADF developer. Creating a custom ADF Data Control seemed the way to go, because building a page(fragment) would be all the same, once the Data Control would be in place at Design Time.

 

Version 1.0 has been released on 30th September at Oracle Open World in 2014. Since then, already several companies have been involved in a proof of concept and/or are implementing the ADF EMG XML Data Control in their production code.
