Red Samurai Tool - How To Check ADF 11g Package Structure and ADF Task Flow Parameters

In my previous post, I have introduced our JDeveloper 11g extension for ADF code quality validation. I will describe two rules more and will show how you can scan your ADF project for standard guidelines violations. Package structure check and task flow input parameters are documented today.

I'm demonstrating rule execution using updated sample application - RedSamuraiToolTestSample1.zip. Just to remind you, extension can be invoked by right clicking on Model or ViewController project and selecting it from available menu:

I will choose to run Package Structure Check rule:

Several violations are reported for - Application Module, View Link and Association:

Let's double check Model project structure, and we can see that report was correct - we need to fix few things for application package structure:

First, I will refactor Application Module into appmodules package:

If we run same rule again, this time only two violations will be reported - good progress:

We need to complete the rest of refactoring for View Link and Association - whole picture is correct now:

This is confirmed by our extension as well - no more violations for package structure:

Different projects may have different package structure standards, you can customize Red Samurai extension execution through preferences window:

Another rule I will describe - ADF Task Flow parameters naming convention:

Let's assume, we have a standard to give in prefix for ADF Task Flows parameter names. Developer forgot this standard and gave incorrect name - myParameter:

We run our rule to scan for ADF Task Flow input parameters names:

And here we go - rule violation is reported:

When parameter name is fixed to be inLastName:

No more violations for this rule are reported:
