Skinning in ADF Faces is used to define user defined customizations with respect to one of the standard ADF skins. A skin is by and large a CSS document (CSS 3.0) that is interpreted at run time to generate the ‘real’ CSS documents (3.0 if that is what the browser can handle, 2.0 in most

The ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2009 conference started on Sunday with four parallel symposia followed by a stunning demonstration of the upcoming Fusion Applications product based on Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g (including the most visible parts: WebCenter and ADF) – more on that presentation in a later blog. On Monday I did my two presentations – the first

Oracle posted a press release about their involvement and commitment for UBMatrix XBRL technologies last Wednesday saying (among others): “To help publicly held companies facilitate the preparation, publishing and automatic exchange of financial statements in XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language), Oracle will embed UBmatrix, Inc.’s leading XBRL technology into Oracle’s Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) System, Oracle announced today.” “Oracle and UBmatrix are also working together to provide enterprise class storage and management for XBRL-based information in Oracle® Database 11g. Using Oracle Database’s XML DB feature, organizations can easily and quickly store, access and query their XBRL data.” A lot of you might ask themselves: “Who are or what is UBMatrix ???” and how does it all fit in… …more

ADF developers frequently are not exactly sure which changes they have applied to the application can be picked up in the running application, without redeploying the application, and which changes absolutely require a redeploy as they can not be added to a running application. Knowing when redeploy is not necessary – and increasing the number

I’ve just returned last night from a week in Copenhagen, where I attended the SC34 WG4/WG5 meetings that were hosted by Danish Standards. As usual, it was several days of non-stop document format discussions, in the meetings as well as over breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Carlsbergs. A typical comment from one of the delegates Wednesday afternoon: “let’s take a break from sitting down and continue this debate standing up for a while.” Other attendees have posted some thoughts about the meetings already, and I expect we’ll see more discussion of the details on participants’ blogs going forward. See Alex Brown and Jesper Lund Stocholm for information about some of the topics we discussed, including boolean values , ISO 8601 dates , and other aspects of IS29500 maintenance. WG4 (IS29500 Maintenance) The main focus of WG’s work, as always, was processing of DRs (defect reports) that have been submitted by member bodies. As of the end of the meeting, we had closed 205 of the 284 defect reports that have been submitted to date; watch the WG4 statistics page for an update in the next few days that will reflect the latest status. The biggest submitter of DRs to date has been the UK, although I see that Japan plans to take the lead soon, according to a comment from WG4 convenor Murata Makoto on Alex Brown’s Flickr stream. In addition to discussing proposed solutions and closing DRs, we discussed at some length two topics Alex raised in presentations to the group: the intent of IS29500’s division into Transitional and Strict at the BRM last year (including how they’re related and the long-term maintenance implied by this structure), and various approaches to conformance testing for IS29500 (and also IS26300). We also reviewed the planned schedule for COR1 (the first set of technical corrigenda for IS29500) and AM1 (the first set of amendments). Project editor Rex Jaeschke is already working on these documents, and WG4 hopes to be ready to approve them on the July 23 conference call, or on a July 30 call if needed. After that, they’ll proceed to SC34 and JTC1 for balloting. One other interesting topic we discussed was how we can implement a public email archive for all WG4 correspondence.

Frequent “KellBlog” (just trying it on for size, see previous post ) readers should know that I have a keen interest in open source intelligence (OSINT) both because we do a fair bit of business within the intelligence community at Mark Logic and because I’m inherently fascinated by the notion of things hiding in plain sight. It must be the math puzzle guy in me, but there is something really cool about linking together a series of public information and transforming it into actionable intelligence. I think Malcom Gladwell’s New Yorker article, Open Secrets , about which I blogged here , is a fascinating piece of work and a must-read for anyone with an interest in OSINT.

Oracle reported its fourth quarter yesterday with several interesting highlights: Non-GAAP operating margin was 51%, the highest in Oracle history Fees for updates and support (aka, maintenance) were $3.1B, growing at 8% Fees for license were $2.7B, decreasing at 13% Oracle “beat expectations” despite both revenue and profit falling Oracle headcount remains flat at about 85,500 people (roughly the size of Nashua, NH ) I would dare say that all this continues to validate my Oracle has become Computer Associates (without anybody noticing) hypothesis. See this Mercury News story for more.

Over the last two days I’ve been attending the ODF Interoperability Workshop, a fascinating event that brought together ODF implementers from many countries to talk about the issues and collaborate on interoperability testing. The workshop web site covers the details of the agenda, provides a variety of related content (including the presentations), and lists the objectives of the event: The aim is to provide a low-level hands-on interoperability testing environment in which vendors and community members can fine tune the interoperability capabilities of their ODF implementations and make test cases, recommendations and create best practices for implementors.
