This is a quick post about how to log in programmaticallyagainst your WLS when working with ADF applications that are ADF Security enabled.

I’ll try not to be too critical about it but… Most of us felt mesmerized and exited about this new version’s release notes where a bunch of new graphs were introduced which is great and we should, we are thankful to JDeveloper’s team for the effort. However, there are few “steps back” that I would like to mention to see if I get a valid response from someone in Oracle. Specifically about Bars Charts (this may apply for the rest of the other graphs as well). 

ADF Tips: Cookies in ADF

Imagine this scenario; your ADF web application is wide open and there are no user management in the system. All operations are done anonymously and the requirement is that it should remain that way. The following use case  is to illustrate the situation and might not even make sense in a real world but will suffice the purpose of this post.

ADF Tips: Timestamp when updating a row based on Business Components + Morale!

Last week I participated in a thread where an user asked the following question

“is there a way i can auto populate the updatedtimestamp with system date even though its not present in the UI?”.
