ADF Naming Standards

Naming Standards are very important to organize the code, especially when you are working with large scale applications. Below are the naming conventions based on JUST my past experience


Business Components

  Entity                                  - Suffix with 'EO' - example : EmployeeEO
  Updateable View Object      - Suffix with 'VO' - example : EmployeeVO
  Programmatic View Object  - Suffix with 'TRVO' example : EmployeeTRVO
  ReadOnly View Object        -  Suffix with 'ROVO' example : EmployeeROVO
  List of Values View Object  -  Suffix with 'LOV' example : GenderLOV
  View Link                            - Suffix with 'VL' example : EmployeeDepartmentVL
   Association                         - Suffix with 'Assoc' Example : EmployeeDepartmentAssoc
  View Accessor                    - Suffix with 'VA' Example :  EmployeeNameVA
  Application Module               - Suffix with 'Service' example : EmployeeService

Packaging

Entities                            :     com.<application>.<project>.model.entities
Updateable View Object :     com.<application>.<project>.model.queries    
Application Module         :      com.<application>.<project>.model.services           
Programmatic View Object :     com.<application>.<project>.model.trvo
View Link                          :    com.<application>.<project>.model.vl
Association                        :    com.<application>.<project>.model.assoc
Read only View Object      :    com.<application>.<project>.model.readonly

Application Naming 
- Giver proper name to application , For eg : EmployeeMgmt, CustomerMgmt, VendorMgmt, etc.. The name of the application should be meaningful with respect to the functionality

Project Naming
 - Give meaningful name to each project you create in any application
 - Model Project :
   Example : EmployeeModel, CustomerModel,VendorModel - All the model projects suffix with 'Model'
- View Controller Project : 
 Example : EmployeeUI, CustomerUI, VendorUI - This project holds all the User Interface related components such as .jsff, jspx, xml, etc..

- Web Service Projects
 Example : EmployeeWSService, CustomerWSService, VendorWSService - All these projects contains the web services related.

- Web Service Proxies
Example : EmployeeWSProxies, VendorWSProxies, CustomerWSProxies - All these projects contains the web service proxy related files.
