Running your first ADF Faces application

In this recipe, we will run our application in multiple scenarios by trying the worst scenario first and enhancing it till we reach the best scenario.

How to do it…

To run your first ADF Faces application, perform the following steps:

1. Locate your task flow retrieve-employees-information and right-click on it.

2. Click on Run or select it and click on Run (the green arrow icon) on the toolbar, and the page will start appearing.

   Tip

   If this is the first time you run an application in JDeveloper, a pop-up window will ask you to instantiate your first Weblogic instance and will ask you about the password for your weblogic user and port numbers.

If you did everything correctly, you should see a form that you can navigate through with Next, Previous, First, and Last.

However, if you check the URL, it's quite ugly. It's not quite what you have in mind, so how can it be enhanced?
