What is Oracle Application Development Framework?

Oracle ADF is an end-to-end Java EE framework that simplifies application development by providing out-of-the-box infrastructure services and a visual and declarative development experience. Oracle ADF simplifies Java EE development by minimizing the need to write code that implements the application’s infrastructure allowing the developers to focus on the features of the actual application. Oracle ADF provides these infrastructure implementations as part of the framework. It also implements the Model-View-Controller design pattern and offers an integrated solution that covers all the layers of the architecture integrated with the Oracle SOA and WebCenter Portal frameworks.

Java/ Senior Oracle ADF Developer at Al-Bayanat Al-Raqamiah4.0As a solution provider, I use Oracle ADF for clients, valuing its powerful business components, stability, and scalability. While initial setup is complex and more components are needed, I recommend this product, rating it eight out of ten.
Director at a tech services company with 11-50 employees3.5We've used Oracle ADF for 15 years. It integrates well and is scalable, but its high cost, lack of open-source nature, and performance issues are leading us to transition to Spring Boot.
CIO at Prince Mohammad University5.0I rate Oracle ADF 10/10. It offers fast deployment and ease of use, with great support. Though regional relevance and third-party integration could improve, Oracle's tech leadership makes it the best choice.
Assistant Manager at cloudsoftjo3.0I value this solution's business components and easy setup. However, its performance is very slow, especially with many users, and the low-code framework can be buggy. Support is average. I rate it 6/10.
