"The most valuable features of this solution are the business components.""It's database-centric, and it's seemingly easy to use the model–view–controller pattern that's built-in.""The most valuable feature is the ease of integration with other Oracle products.""There are several valuable features. First is the fast deployment. Also the ease of use.""The best part of Oracle ADF is being able to easily write code in Java with JavaBean files.""The most valuable feature of the Oracle Application Development Framework is the rapid development and the security it provides.""The power of Oracle ADF is in the business components.""We can create objects that allow us to develop pages and applications very rapidly."

Cons
"Oracle Application Development Framework is set to go out of support over the next three years but they should provide support for the solution for the longer term. Additionally, there needs to be more overall optimization and specifically in webpage rendering. The solution uses a lot of resources, and in order for them to move forward, they would have to create a smaller resource impact.""The performance of this solution needs to be improved because it is very slow.""Lacks tailoring to geographic regional differences and consistent integration with third parties.""The application needs to be more lightweight and the performance improved.""I use JDeveloper along with ADF and, unfortunately, JDeveloper is a very slow tool. It takes a lot of time to accomplish things with it during both development and deployment. I hope that Oracle will improve JDeveloper to make it run faster.""Oracle ADF needs more components and the layout can be improved.""You need to have Oracle ADF on-premises to build a big project. You need to have a dependable front-end application.""The UI is very slow and not up to market standard."

"Spring IDE​ needs some work and improvement. We have faced many issues when adding third-party Eclipse plugins.""It can be difficult for a basic user to understand the concepts in this solution, such as inversion of control.""I have recently had problems with the changes that were made using Spring Security.""We would like the deployment of this solution to be easier as, at present, it is quite complicated.""The solution could be simplified quite a bit. It's unnecessarily complicated in some areas.""The initial setup could be more straightforward.""I saw some error messages coming up when they were getting problems actually viewing all the reports.""The newer versions of Spring MVC have released a lot of features that we are not using right now because, in many cases, we are limited to running older versions. As such, it would be nice if Spring were to improve support for upgrading to newer versions, especially for legacy applications."

    Top Answer:The model layer could be improved for performance because once that part gets bloated, the performance is lacking. So, there is room for performance optimization. On the View Controller part, the UI… more »
    Top Answer:The best feature of Spring MVC is its auto-configuration capabilities.
    Top Answer:In the future, I expect the solution to offer and include a lot of packages so that it can be configured more easily or the speed level increases, thereby helping it overcome its shortcomings.

    Overview

    Oracle ADF is an end-to-end Java EE framework that simplifies application development by providing out-of-the-box infrastructure services and a visual and declarative development experience. Oracle ADF simplifies Java EE development by minimizing the need to write code that implements the application’s infrastructure allowing the developers to focus on the features of the actual application. Oracle ADF provides these infrastructure implementations as part of the framework. It also implements the Model-View-Controller design pattern and offers an integrated solution that covers all the layers of the architecture integrated with the Oracle SOA and WebCenter Portal frameworks.

    Spring MVC is a Java web framework built on the Servlet API and has been included in the Spring Framework from the very beginning.  It handles web applications that use server-rendered HTML user interface, REST APIs, and much more.  The documentation includes Spring MVCView TechnologiesCORS Support, and WebSocket Support

    For baseline information and compatibility with Servlet container and Java EE version ranges please visit the Spring Framework Wiki.
