I'm often asked to demonstrate how easy it is with Oracle ADF and JSF to do iterative development, and a popular question prospective customers want to understand in this area is the following:

If I need to add a new column in one of my database tables, how hard is it to update my ADF / JSF application to include that new column?

I've added screencast #8 to my page of ADF Screencasts that illustrates how easy this is by showing you the few, declarative steps you'd need to do to accomplish this task. In the screen cast, I illustrate:

  1. Performing an ALTER TABLE ADD to add a new column to the DEPT table
  2. Synchronizing the ADF entity object with the table
  3. Including the new entity object attribute in the desired view objects
  4. Dropping new databound controls onto an existing JSF page to show/edit the new column
  5. Adding a new column to an existing ADF table to display the new data
