Overview of ADF Business Components

ADF Business Components along with JDeveloper provide a visual and declarative development approach for building business logic for an application. By default, business components are configured by using XML metadata files. At runtime, the ADF framework uses the configurations stored in metadata XML definition files for instantiating appropriate business components. If you want to override the default behavior of the business components offered by the framework or want to add custom business logic, then you can generate Java implementation for the desired business components and add your logic there. To customize the default behavior of business components, you must override the appropriate methods from the default base class.
