Introduction Oracle MAF 2.3.1 has just been released. This release contains a major new feature, the client data model (CDM). CDM is the productized version of the A-Team Mobile Persistence Accelerator (AMPA). This article explains how you can migrate your existing MAF app that uses AMPA to MAF 2.3.1 with CDM. We recommend to perform this migration as soon as possible since Oracle A-Team will no longer maintain the AMPA open source project in GitHub. The migration steps are...

Get started with Mobile Cloud Service (we call it MCS) in 4 mins!!! I published this short video back in June on the A-Team youtube channel. This is the first thing anyone should do when they work with MCS to establish connectivity Its already had lots of viewings so I thought I would show it here too. It shows how how easy it is to create a simple Hello World REST mock service using MCS. This is the first thing anyone should do when they work with MCS to establish...

Introduction To build functional and performant mobile apps, the back-end data services need to be optimized for mobile consumption. RESTful web services using JSON as payload format are widely considered as the best architectural choice for integration between mobile apps and back-end systems. At the same time, many existing enterprise back-end systems provide a SOAP-based web service application programming interface (API). In this article series we will discuss how Oracle...

Introduction Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) based proximity beacons were first under the spotlight when Apple announced the iBeacon standard. Since then a lot has changed and there are now multiple beacon vendors and offerings on the market. Enterprises are also looking to add proximity based intelligence to their mobile offerings. In this article, we introduce you to beacon technology and show you how you can build support for beacon based interactions in your MAF application....

Introduction To build functional and performant mobile apps, the back-end data services need to be optimized for mobile consumption. RESTful web services using JSON as payload format are widely considered as the best architectural choice for integration between mobile apps and back-end systems. Nevertheless, we have seen many customers of Oracle's Mobile Application Framework (MAF) consuming SOAP web services in their mobile apps. One reason this is happening might be the...

Introduction Responsiveness of mobile applications is absolutely critical for user acceptance. This survey shows that the most important reason for users to discard an app after first use is the performance. When building enterprise mobile apps, the web service calls made to back-end services are often a bottleneck in achieving acceptable levels of performance. Moving these calls to a background thread, in combination with on-device data caching using the SQLite database is...
