Hi all, I have worked with various customisations in Apps with custom forms/reports/programs/workflows/business events to complete custom modules. This has all been done using Oracle Developer, Workflow Builder etc and of course PL/SQL, Unix Scritping. So the traditional tools.

Has anyone created such customisations using Java etc within an Apps environment especially later versions upto 11.5.10? I am interested in custom modules using JDeveloper etc but in an Oracle Apps environment?
I am currently spending time learning more about the current JDeveloper tool and interested to hear of any real life customisation examples out there.

Thanks Cel

HI, The OA Framework is something that might be of interest to you. You would need a specific version of the JDeveloper (JDeveloper with OA Extension) for developing on Oracle Applications. One of the application that uses this framework extensively is the iProcurement.

The patch (this is the JDEV9i that has to be installed on your desktop) that you would need to download from metalink for the OA Extension with JDeveloper 9i is 4045639. The framework should be also patched to the appropriate level. (If you are on 11.5.10 then you do not have to worry about this aspect).

There are other frameworks being used in Oracle Applications (like JTF for CRM). However, the OA framework roadmap indicates that the Oracle Applications modules might all be built using the OA Framework sometime in the future. The disclaimer here is the impact of Project Fusion on the above roadmap.
