I never use Oracle ADF, so I'd like to know which features of the Oracle ADF are not free.

>>which features of the Oracle ADF are not free. You get all you need to build a Web application with ADF Essentials. The "full" Oracle ADF will add some "enterprise" features related to Fusion Middleware such as integration with SOA and WebCenter and security. For more info see this matrix: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/overview/components-1844931.html

It would appear to the casual observer that the entire ADF development team created DZone accounts just to upvote this link.

As I replied in one of the other news postings about this: "Never tried ADF really, as I'm not being a huge fan of closed source software. But I'm curious though. It at least runs on GlassFish now and WebLogic -is- downloadable for free. I do wonder about the connection with Trinidad. Do the projects exchange code still, or was it a one-time donation and have the projects since branched in totally different directions?"

Trinidad provides some base classes to ADF Faces - but the functionality that is provided by ADF Faces is far more rich and attractive. Oracle still contributes code and fixes things in Trinidad.

Thank you to Oracle. Now you are proving to all the doubters that you are really up for the Stewardship job. ADF reminds me of Woodstock components by sun.
