ADF has a huge potential but won't be able to cotpmee very soon with Forms on lots of ground including developer productivity and most importantly as an effective solution for lots of day to day business applications with heavy data entries workloads and where you need very short response time. If once dare to replace these apps with ADF today, he takes the risk of triggering a Forms end-users sit-in !That's why Forms HAS to remain.Sure that every Forms developers are not happy to be restricted to one architecture to deploy and would have prefer to retain the choice of C/S and Web.Qui peut le plus peut le moins (tentative of translation: once who can do much can do less) ! To my opinion, to make sure 100% of forms developers stick to Oracle dev. tools, Oracle should provide a lighter way (both technically and financially) to deploy form.6 years ago, I thought that Oracle strategy with Forms will be to progressively make the whole forms stack sit on an ADF kind of framework by introducing a hidden layer to progressively evolve forms framework to an ADF framework keeping the Forms builder tool to retain the Forms development experience. But this was utopia.Sure that the move to J2EE/ADF is putting a lot of pressure on IT Depts and is adding to the fact that they had or have to move to AS which was not required before and is much slower than in a C/S terminal servers or Citrix servers deployment where Web access is not a requirement.But to my opinion, (very optimistic one) we need to put our energy in Forms and ADF and as we move forward and ADF evolves, we will be at the end ADF pros and will be able to rip the associated benefits.

Posted on I so relate to this. I used to think I had so much metanl power to influence outcome and, like you, that no matter what happened it all happened for a reason and I would be great, great, great.For me, this was easy to maintain so long as things went well or so long as the hiccups felt like only hiccups. Then, if you take a few blows to your ego or things get hard for a while you begin to doubt what had always seemed so sure your self. Believe in your self and it will come back because no matter what happens you'll find YOU ARE JUST FINE.
