ADF Project Setup in
JDEV11.1.1.5
OpenText Composer CipherSoft
Overview
Oracle Forms applications converted with OpenText Composer CipherSoft are Java applications that can
be maintained and extended in most Java IDEs. This paper describes how to set up an Oracle ADF
application generated by OpenText Composer CipherSoft in JDeveloper. We use a sample application,
called the Summit Application, to describe this process.

Getting Started
After successful installation of JDeveloper check the JDeveloper version from the menu: Help  About
Next, the WAR file for the Summit application has been deployed under the Tomcat application server.
This could be done simply by dropping the WAR file into “../Tomcat6/webapps” folder. If the application
server is running, the WAR file will be extracted automatically into proper structure, if the server is not
running we can start it through the startup.bat file: “../Tomcat6/bin/startup.bat”.

Creating a New Fusion Web Application and Project
After successful installation of JDeveloper check the JDeveloper version from the menu: Help  About
Let’s create a new application: “File  New”
This menu choice will open the “New Gallery” window where we will choose the following option:
“General  Applications”:

This will display the “Create Fusion Web Application” wizard, where we will specify the application name,
directory and application package prefix. We can keep the default JDeveloper location for the application
and project files:
Next, add the following technologies to the project as it is demonstrated in the screen capture below:

The Application and Project will be created after pressing the Finish button.
Configuring the Project Source Path
Select the Project Properties option of the Summit project context menu to set the Java Source Paths and
Output Directory.

Setting up the Libraries
Through the “Libraries and Classpath” panel, we will add the Trinidad Runtime, Oracle JDBC and J2EE
1.4 libraries:

Now we have to add two more JAR files provided by the OpenText Composer CipherSoft framework.
These files are included in the Summit WAR file mentioned above. Click on the “Add JAR/Directory…”
button and select these files from “../summit/WEB-INF/lib” directory as follows:

After the Jar files have been added, the order for these libraries need to be set with the “Move Up” and
“Move Down” buttons as it is shown in the captures below:

The next step is to add the Trinidad components and set the JSP Tag execution for “Ciphersoft ADF Face
Core” library:

As a last step, we suggest to open all JSPX and JSFF files of the application and perform “Reformat”
(Ctrl+Alt-L)
This will reformat contents/tags of JSPX and JSFF files into more readable and editable format.
