2. Service Interface:The service interface is a Java interface that is designed to support both web services and local Java APIs. The
service interface provides consistent APIs and error handling behavior across the different application products. Included is
support for the new Service Data Object standard to increase interoperability in a Service Oriented Architecture. Service data
objects are used to represent business objects in a standardized manner. See the Oracle Integration Repository for more
information on how to register and discover services, and optionally configure a service as a public Web service.
3. Service Tester:The service tester user interface is used to create unit and integration tests. The tests are recorded in documents
as structured XML data. For integration testing, each test file can contain multiple test suites, and each test suite can have
multiple test cases. As part of periodic system tests, service tests can be played back from either JDeveloper or from the
operating system command line. The service tester supports the following features: Field masking, so that variable data such as
the current date does not cause a test failure Pipelining, where the output of one test is used as the input of a subsequent test An
option to suppress the commit of test data.
4. Swan User Interface: The new Swan user interface (UI) greatly improves the look and feel of the Oracle E-Business Suite,
significantly enhancing usability and productivity. The Swan UI brings together some of the best UI concepts from Oracle E-
Business Suite, PeopleSoft, and JD Edwards applications. Oracle E-Business Suite will use only the Swan look and feel for
Release 12.
5. Personalized SPEL Bindings:SPEL (simple expression) bindings can be used to substitute or override the base SPEL bindings
for rendered, required, and read-only properties.
6. Oracle JDeveloper 10g Release 3 (10.1.3):Release 12 leverages Oracle JDeveloper 10g Release 3 (10.1.3). This release of
JDeveloper is a J2EE development environment with end-to-end support for modeling, developing, and debugging applications
and Web services. Oracle JDeveloper 10g Release 3 (10.1.3) allows existing Oracle Application Framework applications and
services to be extended, or entirely new applications and services to be built easily.
7. Personalization Administration:Release 12 extends the existing command line personalization capabilities with HTML pages
included in the Functional Administrator responsibility. This feature also allows you to replicate personalizations across database
instances.
8. Improved About Pages:The About page has been extended to include the following: Last 10 patches applied on the instance
Flexfield definitions on the page, and whether they use unsupported features specific to the Forms stack The ability to launch
Admin Personalization from the About page
9. Administrator Personalization Usability Enhancements:Usability enhancements to the Administrator Personalization UI
include: Ability to bypass the Choose Context page when the current context is known. A minimal page hierarchy, eliminating the
need for hidden layout containers. Personalization error messages include a link to launch the About page, where the associated
personalizations can be reviewed and edited.
10. External Content in OA Framework Pages:Administrator Personalization now supports the inclusion of any URL in OA
Framework pages
11. SQL Component Extensibility:View objects can now be modified by using SQL components to extend an existing object, rather
than by replacing the view object definition. SQL component extensions are designed to persist across upgrades of the underlying
object.
12. Flexfield Enhancements:Flexfield errors are handled more gracefully. Warnings are raised if an OA Framework flexfield uses
incompatible features
