EBS Object Types - Oracle Application Framework (OAF) JAVA

A framework for application development within E-Business Suite. The framework is also available for personalizations, customizations and custom-application development.

Object Type Identification

  • If a file does not qualify as Java Stored Procedure, but ends in .java, .class, .xml, .zip, .ear, or .jar, it is considered OAF Java type.

  • If file with .xml extension is in webui folder then it is considered MDS file

OAF Java Root Destination Directory

FDEBS_JAVA_ROOT_DESTINATION_DIR

Target directory for java,class,xml files.

$JAVA_TOP

OAF Java Classpath

FDEBS_JAVA_CLASSPATH

Location of user-defined classes and packages. Set the classpath if needed for Java Compilation.



File Permissions

FDEBS_FILE_PERMISSIONS

Sample Build Commands 

N/A - Build commands not supported for this type.

Sample Deploy Commands 

Java - copy and compile
cp "$SOURCE_FILE" "$JAVA_TOP/xxt/oracle/apps/ak/xxperson/webui/"; export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH; javac -Xlint:none -classpath $CLASSPATH "$JAVA_TOP/xxt/oracle/apps/ak/xxperson/webui/xxPersonMainCO.java";
Class, XML - copy only
cp "$SOURCE_FILE" "$JAVA_TOP/xxt/oracle/apps/ak/xxperson/schema/server/";

Considerations

  • All OAF Java related files must be source controlled under a directory structure matching the Java package structure. This is a requirement to ensure the generated deploy commands copy them to the correct location under the $JAVA_TOP.  If this requirement is not met, you will need to modify each of the target location paths and re-evaluate the commands or override the Target Location attribute. See example below where xxPersonDetailsEOImpl.java file has package name xxt.oracle.apps.ak.xxperson.schema.server and is placed in xxt/oracle/apps/ak/xxperson/schema/server under java folder.
