Copying some points related to application module configuration on top of what you see in the following chapter - 44 Tuning Application Module Pools and Connection Pools 1. When a web client access a page a new AM instances will be created till the pool size crosses recycleThreshold. 2.Call to Configuration.createRootApplicationModule(qualifiedAMDefName, configName); will use instance from the pool if poolsize > recycleThreshold and unreferenced (free) AM instances are available.  Later when client calls Configuration.releaseRootApplicationModule(applicationModule, true); will remove the instance- doesn't matter how the instance is acquired . 3.Though the call Configuration.releaseRootApplicationModule(applicationModule, false/* remove flag */) , there is now way for a framework to identify the previously used AM instances if the client again calls Configuration.createRootApplicationModule(qualifiedAMDefName, configName) to create a new instance within the sa...

Sometime back I blogged about using JMS with ADF BC  http://jobinesh.blogspot.com/2011/04/using-jms-with-adf-business-components.html  . I'm revisiting this topic with another example illustrating the usage of application module methods from EJB and MDB. The sample uses XA Data source which will help you to force both AM and EJB to share same db transaction. Note that,  I'm calling ApplicationModule::postChangesToDB() to post changes to database when AM method is used inside EJB method, leaving the 'commit' call to the underlying container. Download You can download the sample workspace from here .Refer the  previous pos t for setting up the MDB used in the sample + Configure XA Datasource with JNDI name jdbc/HRDS [Runs with Oracle JDeveloper 11g R2 PS1 + HR Schema]

If you want to read the adf-config.xml entries from Java code, try getting ADFConfig object from ADFContext and read the map of entries by passing specific name spaces. An example is copied below- ADFContext aDFContext = ADFContext.getCurrent(); ADFConfig adfConfig= aDFContext.getADFConfig(); Map map= adfConfig.getConfigObject("http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/config"); Long rowLimit=(Long)map.get("jbo.row.limit");

Copying simple example for af:treeTable whose child column displays af:inputComboboxListOfValues component <af:treeTable value="#{bindings.DepartmentsView2.treeModel}" var="node" selectionListener="#{bindings.DepartmentsView2.treeModel.makeCurrent}" rowSelection="single" id="tt1"> <f:facet name="nodeStamp"> <af:column id="c1"> <af:outputText value="#{node}" id="ot1"/> </af:column> </f:facet> <f:facet name="pathStamp"> <af:outputText value="#{node}" id="ot2"/> </f:facet> <af:column headerText="Manager ID" id="c10"> <af:inputComboboxListOfValues rendered="#{not empty node.EmployeeId}" id="managerIdId" ...

An excellent initiative. Refer Grant's blog post - Your Chance to Change the ADF Future   for more details.
