FaceBook ADF Task Flow

This is an example of a Facebook Task Flow which you can use in every ADF 11G application. Just an little example how powerfull and reusable Task Flow are. I used for this example the facebook-java-api, which is an opensource project. Great work guys.

Here some screenshots of the facebook TF. First we have to authenticate on the facebook site. This is only necessary the first time after this it will use a cookie to authenticate. I use the af:inlineFrame component to open the special facebook url with my application id.Now we can open the second accordion page. This will update my panelbox with my photo and show my friends in an ADF table.

We can email some friends by selecting these in the adf table and go to the email accordion and send the email.


Here is the facebook backing bean where it all happens

When you drop this task flow on an page you have to fill the api and secret input parameters. I can't give you mine keys. You can do this in the pagedef of the page.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<pageDefinition xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/uimodel"
             version="11.1.1.51.88" id="startPageDef" Package="pages">
<parameters/>
<executables>
 <taskFlow id="facebooktaskflowdefinition1"
           taskFlowId="/WEB-INF/facebook-task-flow-definition.xml#facebook-task-flow-definition"
           xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/controller/binding">
   <parameters>
     <parameter id="API" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/uimodel"
                value="'0eff-----------------1'"/>
     <parameter id="SECRET" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/uimodel"
                value="'e1cee430d8599bc3be2e42fc19fe9d68'"/>
   </parameters>
 </taskFlow>
</executables>
<bindings/>
</pageDefinition>

To use this Task Flow in your ADF application, we need to go to http://developers.facebook.com/get_started.php where you can register your own application. Now you will have your own applicationId and secret which you can use for the pagedef task flow parameters. And please fill in callback url to a website.
