Industry analysts believe that Oracle is leveraging integrated middleware to gain more advantages in the rapidly growing mobile market, but if they want to become leaders in this field, further security considerations are needed. It is estimated that by 2013, the total amount of the smartphone app market will reach $15 billion, which is inseparable from the growth of smartphone end users.

By 2013, the total amount of the smartphone app market is expected to reach $15 billion, which is inseparable from the growth of smartphone end users. By the end of next year, there will be more than 1 billion smartphone users.
Oracle has been working hard in this field. In the past Oracle OpenWorld conference, Oracle released the next version of Oracle Application Development Framework Mobile preview. In the opinion of many industry experts, Oracle is gradually on the right track. Oracle ADF Mobile is part of the integrated middleware. Based on Java and Oracle JDeveloper, it enables Mobile applications to have local and Web functions. Some features of Oracle ADF Mobile include:
- Application Development
- Across multiple mobile operating systems, including iOS
- Move Oracle Applications and automatically take advantage of smartphone strengths, such as photos, calendars, and GPS
- Integration with integrated middleware and Oracle Applications will allow business applications, processes, and data to be extended to mobile users.
- JDeveloper developers can easily create mobile applications without learning new programming languages and development frameworks.
The above functions are extremely important for application developers. All Oracle ADF Mobile can be implemented. However, security is not prominent yet. When building a mobile app, developers must consider security first.
According to a latest Oracle survey, mobile broadband usage has increased, and a large number of users have begun to use mobile banking, mobile shopping, and are willing to share their location. However, only 32% of users think that their mobile terminal information is secure. Only 21% of users say that there is no problem with the method of payment through mobile phones.
Obviously, mobile terminal users regard security as a top priority. This should not be ignored in Oracle software development. The results of the survey mean that software developers should not only provide users with easy-to-use mobile applications, but also fully consider users' security and personal privacy issues.
