Folks,
Hello. I have been implementing PeopleSoft Campus Solution 9.0 Revision 5 for a University. I am developing the Online Admission Application for Prospective student to apply for admission.
I need to install Oracle ADF (Application Development Framework) or ADR (Application Development Runtime) to run my Online Admission Application web page for PeopleSoft Campus Solution 9.0, but I am not sure the difference between ADF and ADR.
My facilities are below:
Server machine: Oracle Linux 5.10 (64 bits)
Client machine: Windows XP Professional (64 edition) with Browser Internet Explorer
Internet Architecture in Server Oracle Linux 5.10:
1) Database Server: Oracle Database 11g
2) Application Server: Tuxedo 11g
3) Web Server: Web Logic 11g
4) Browser: Firefox Mozila
5) PeopleTools 8.53 and PeopleSoft Campus Solution 9.0 R5
On the download page http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/downloads/index.html, there are 2 packages to download:
1) Application Development Runtime 12.1.3.0
2) Oracle ADF essential 12.1.3.0
My PeopleSoft Internet Architecture as indicated above has been working correctly for a long time. Web Logic 11g has been working correctly. It seems that the first package "Application Development Runtime" also install Web Logic server that is not needed in my machine. In addition, ADR is not free, and we might need to purchase License.
Because ADF essential is free and no License cost, I have chosen Oracle ADF 12.1.3.0.0 Essential to develop the online admission application. I have read its document on http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/documentation/121300-cert-2164864.html
The Campus Solution 9.0 system will be implemented by a University to do business officially.
My questions are:
First, which package is right for my Campus Solution 9.0 Online Admission Application ? ADR or ADF essential ?
Second, if choose ADF essential, I have some questions regarding ADF 12.1.3.0.0 to match my facilities as below:
1) as the document indicates, ADF 12.1.3.0.0 can run with Oracle Linux 5 & 6 (64bit) and other OS. Can ADF also run with Windows XP ? May I install ADF with my Server machine Oracle Linux 5 ?
2) as the document indicates, ADF 12.1.3.0.0 can run with Application Server Websphere. Can ADF run with Tuxedo 11g ?
3) as the document indicates, ADF 12.1.3.0.0 can run with Browser Firefox. Can ADF run with Internet Explorer in Windows XP ?
Thanks in advance.
