5 What New Requirements Are We Trying to Meet? Mobile requirements not met by mobile browser applications: Complete offline data capabilities Device native user experience Consistent performance regardless of network connectivity Deep device services integration Developer requirements One tool that builds one application that can be deployed multiple mobile platforms Reuse ADF developer skills to develop mobile application

6 <Insert Picture Here> Introducing. A New Feature of Application Development Framework: ADF Mobile Client Complete Design-time & Runtime framework for developing on-device, Java Applications Write once, and deploy to multiple mobile platforms

7 What is ADF Mobile Client? Extends enterprise ADF applications to on-device mobile clients Similar experience as developing a web application Java-based runtime client Meta-data driven development paradigm (XML) Complete MVC stack on the device UI metadata rendered to native controls ondevice to provide a native user-interface Java Client View Controller Model Local DB

8 Richness of User Interaction Oracle ADF Mobile Client Completing the Mobile Platform ADF Mobile Browser (Current Offering) Delivers a rich mobile web experiences through AJAX and Web 2.0 technologies. UI rendering degrades gracefully to deliver HTML content to a wide set of consumer devices with basic HTML browsers. HTML (HTML Mobile Browser) AJAX (Smartphone Mobile Browsers) Native (Full Java Clients) ADF Mobile Client (New) Make business data available regardless of network connectivity. Deep integration with device services Device Service Access & Offline Support

9 Server-side Components Oracle Database Lite (OpenSync) Mobile Server Data Synchronization Server DB (Oracle) <-> Client (SQLite) DB ADF Mobile Transaction Replay Service (MTRS) Automatically replays client-side application transaction on server Complements Mobile Server Synchronization

10 ADF Mobile Client Data Synchronization BlackBerry Device Desktop/Mobile Browser Clients ADF Mobile Client Mobile Server SQLite msync Windows Mobile Publications Publications Application Server Base ADF App ADF BC/EO ADF BC/VO/AM Web Services Others ADF Mobile Client Synchronization Support Complete and Delta SQLite msync One-way and two-way User-invoked, background, and programmatic Server Database

11 Demonstration Scenario Appliance Repair Dispatch and Service Avitek Company Onsite Appliance Repair Personas and Scenario: Service Manager (ADF Mobile Browser using iphone) Checks for new service requests Determines best technician and assigns new service request Technician (ADF Mobile Client using BlackBerry smartphone) Receives a notification from central dispatch Reviews service request information, including location When onsite, technician launches service repair application for product repair and status updates

12 Application Demonstration
