Customizations & Optimizations
The Key Takeaways!
•Use to store default and user’s favorite selections
•Use to store component’s state at user level
•Use at different levels(Application, user)
Many Organizations have different requirements. ADF allows you to
Customize the deployment, not the application.
ADF optimization- Key Takeaways
• Javascript partitioning: Load the scripts into memory based on partition list
• Image Sprites: Single image sliced to display multiple images/icons at runtime
• AM Parameters: AM Activation/passivation time to match session timeouts
