Nothing like being on the other side of the table...

So anyway, I became aware today that the latest version of FireFox (3.6) which is being pushed via FF's auto-update mechanism right now is known to break drag-and-drop functionality in ADF Faces 11g. This is due to the total removal (without a deprecation phase first) of an API which the FF developers didn't like but ADF Faces and Trinidad relied on.

Development has fixed the problem we'll just need to wait on a decision on method of delivery (one-off, next patchset, etc). There are several announcements regarding this on other Oracle controlled sites (OTN, et al.)

Upcoming Oracle Events

Just finishing up travel plans for upcoming events. I'll be presenting at the OTN Developer Days in Irvine, CA on the 6th of April, information can be found here for the Irvine event and others. Also will be at Collaborate 2010 in Las Vegas from April 18th to the 22nd, information on that can be found here.

On the materials front, I just completed the inaugural session for the new "ADF Insider" series. In this series of extended web sessions (avg 30mins - 1hr long) the ADF expert team, and potentially some recognized industry experts will provide details on some of the more advanced topics surrounding implementing utilizing the Oracle Application Development Framework. My desire with this project is to have a series of sessions that go a step further in providing information not addressed in existing documentation.

In this spirit, the first session covers how to integrate ADF with a SOA environment. Included in this are multiple hands-on demos covering how to expose ADF business components into the SCA, consuming SOA artifacts (webservices/composites) into an ADF web application, and finally how to create a custom "human task" (from the Oracle SOA Suite) activity interface.

You can find a link to the session here.
